She did the whole show. Chevy Chase, which was one of our nuttier ones that he was high-larious Sheri O'Terry who's nuts funny great Sudakes Chris rock. There's so many we lost track

so we're just you'll hear clips of these people and I Think you're gonna like it and it's it'll be good to sort of shut you guys up, you know over Christmas Christmas. And then we come back and we hit it hard when we get back. So speaking of hit it hard, I'm going to go whack off. Anyway, folks, Mary Christmas and here we go. So how do you two know each other? I get a sense you have your friends, right? You know each other. I know her. I'm just guessing.

It's Jal Jumbled, it seems like I'm wrong. It was one of them. Did you win? I can't remember. I don't remember, I, you know what, I mix it up. It's Jal Jumbled. It seems like I'm all right. It was one of the winners. Did you win? I can't remember.

I don't think it's about that. Sorry, it doesn't make you a better person. Did you, David, did you win an Emmy for Just Shoot Me? Honest, I did not. It doesn't make you inferior. Others don't win in the years. It doesn't matter. I was back when those Emmys really met.

I would have given you an Emmy. Yeah, I'm not gonna give you an you a man. I think I'm getting out they just hand them out like candy. I think you got handed to I think you got 2011 was at the pandemic and I got one of those I got a covid I mean I'm a lot of nominations from on and family just say it. I don't know for Was it I mean, there's some nominations for Mon and Family. Just say it. I don't know. For, I'm like that. Was it, for me or the show? Six nominations. You know what, Julie, honestly, I thought you hosted

SNL twice and it's you voted at me. I've never fucking, no, I want to. You heard me, so I've never hosted SNL. No, I would never host SNL. You kidding me? That is terrifying. I watch it now. Also, I'm kinda into like right now, how you guys watch SN now. Also, I'm kind of into, like right now,

how you guys watch us now every week, right? No. We have, I see it, I see it, I'll answer them. They have clips. They have clips. We'll see clips. I'll go on Sunday, you can go on. Yeah, you can go on.

Watch all the sketches. You're right. I watch all of it, but the guests this year in particular, are like, it's like, complete, it's all new. Like, there's none of the classics, you know. There's no, there's no Tom Hanks. It's all the guests. The hosts, yeah.

Yeah, all the hosts. And so when I watch it now, I'm like, oh, I could maybe do it now because it's just like, they're much nicer and warmer it seems like. And it feels like, I don't know. It feels like you used to have to come on and kill in your opening moment. Oh, come on in the sense. You know how to bake it. So now the host, don't know, it feels like you used to have to come on and kill in your opening moment.

I'm kind of in the sense, you know, I'm in the sense. So now the host, don't have to be here. No, they are, they are really funny, but it's much more gentle and kind about that. They're like, I'm so honored to be here. This is so exciting. It's emotional, almost serious. Yeah, a little political statement.

Yeah. And a little bit of like, this is, you know, what, as an element to them growing up and how much it means them to be there. Now, this is, you know, what, as an element to them growing up and how much it means them to be there. Now, like even, you know, we have Shriver did a whole like, this is such a big deal to me. And I was like,

Huh? And Martin Short is on top of a panel. I, exactly. Exactly. Like, he's crushing so hard. Yeah, I'm done, I'm done. Right. And so it's not as hard on the jokes as it was

Back when they would if they reach out to you. I would imagine there in your 10 years or 11 years There was there was a There was some Pretty loyal you were not on NBC right your ABC or I was on NBC when David Tracked me down. I don't know that was that other That was Ed. I did a show called Ed. Oh, that is the terminology. Yeah, tracked.

I was doing Ed when you were doing. He stalked you. He stalked me. We were at this. I was with Willie Gerson. Oh, my Gerson, yes. Was it? And that yes, we okay.

He was on. He invited me as he's like, I've had this set to be more than once. You look like somebody who's got a nice dress hanging in the closet. It's like the day before some award show. Clearly everyone else has dropped out. Could you possibly chuck on your dress and show up?

That wasn't me, that was Willie. No, that was Willie. Okay, yeah. So I went with Willie and you were there with Steve Lavitan and you walked by me and then walked right back again and go, Hey, I know I know you. I know you. Steve love a tan and you walked by me and then walked right back again and go hey I know I know you I know you And I said no, no, I think I said do we have the same barber?

Spade a show in here better with women. I mean just just even the flight attendant or whoever you do you have a good they like That funny funny matters my family when I started dating David, I was like, oh dear God, they're like, what? And I said funny counts. I don't need to hear about funny counts. That's the name of your next book. Funny counts, they got to say come back, funny counts. Funny counts.

It counts. It's a lobby because you like Laura Michaels, you can't marry a face. Because eventually you couldn't even see the face. So you have to marry a personality. What's better than someone that makes you laugh all day long. Right. So David, David tried to track me down through it,

but this where he shot the back. What channel? Are we allowed to swear on your show? What the fuck? I don't think we can say track me down again, but we can swear. How did you, what kind of tracking device in New York?

I know, it was a private detective. Yeah, no, a publicist. Okay. Which was such a fucking scene on it. I wanna be trusted. I wanna be trusted. I wanna be trusted. I wanna be trusted.

I wanna be trusted. I wanna be trusted. We dropped down a little bit. Not by a publicist. Oh, well, there's no other way by telegram. I mean, I mean, when you figured out, because I told you I was a dog walker.

Okay. Because you were like, I know you, I know. No, because I, and I was a dog walker. Okay. Because you were like, I know you, I know, no. Because I was like, if he doesn't know, it wouldn't I'm gonna give you my resume now. You had no idea who I was. You just... You did the right thing. I thought I was cute.

I said I was a dog walker. You're like, and then I ran into you another party somewhere, and then the next thing I knew I had, you did track me down through. You figured I'd been happy to go more with Samler. I'm fine. But, my back, no.

Anytime he's mentioned, I try to do that. And she did the best. You didn't bother to go through Adam. You didn't go through anybody personal. I didn't think I went Adam knowing my personal business. So what, this is a Conan Johnson PR firm and we're looking for a really good...

No, it was literally like, woman, I don't remember her name, but she tracked me down. I get a bunch of, a couple calls from her. David would like to talk to you, David, and I was like, fuck that. They would like to see him as office. You literally were fucked that? Well, I thought, she's like, fuck that.

Yeah, the hub was sick. You were on Ed, right? I was on Ed. It was not a lascivious fuck that. It was so. No, it was not like, I'm gonna fuck that. No, it was, it was, it was not that for sure. It was not that. It was not a lascivious fuck that it was not like I'm gonna fuck that no it was it was it was not that for sure It was not that it was not that and then with that you do that I was living in New York in this building

I remember I was in the gym really early watching TVs with no you know, they had with no no volume And I see that you had been Tased by Skippy. Well, okay. That's the story we have not explored on that. You haven't explored this? On this podcast, it's been mentioned though.

David was tased by Skippy. I know the whole story. Taze and beaten. Taze was the beginning to disarm me. Disarm the muskling. It was not a terror. My attention, I mentioned that the volume was not on on the TVs, I was doing my best.

So what did you, what did you decide from? So then I was like, weird. And you want to get's taste. I'm going to go to Arby's with. Yeah, I definitely, I know I was like, no, where was that scrap of paper I wrote down from the public's list? It was number, so I called him and I was like,

hey, that's what you called me about that. That's what I called you, I go, hey, it you called me about that. I called you I go hey You are you are you all right. I just saw you got tased by Skippy and you said now Will you go out with me? No, I said no my mom. I realized my dick still working because I got all excited I'm sorry. We take what was it did it say that? Well wait a minute was it did you said? No, I said who now you go guess it. You said now, what you thought was big. Now you go out and it sounds more like it. Now, wait, now, what you thought was big?

Now, I guess it. Now, after I was laid up for a while and very pain, I started to come to my sense. I didn't remember these calls because it was. It was so much pain. So much calls, so much pain. I didn't even know about Viking until right after this. So anyway.

I can be a little bit of a date. Yeah, you were little V-chippies. Yeah. I didn't even know about Vicodin until right after this. So anyway. You were about Vicodin the other time, right? You were a little V-chip-y. Yeah, I remember a lot of that. Oh, yeah, I had a pukachel made of Vicodin. I remember a lot of that. I remember a lot of that. I remember a lot of that. I remember a lot of that.

I remember a lot of that. I remember a lot of that. Oh, yeah, I had a pukachel made of Vicodin. I remember a lot of that. I remember a lot of that. I remember a lot of that. I remember a lot of that. I remember a lot of that.

I remember a lot of that. I remember a lot of that. I remember a lot of that. I remember a lot of that. I remember a lot of that. um, delicate flower who has low blood sugar has to carry around a little rat bag full of like Turkey and chicken. Oh, there's protein bars all over this mansion and and they're like even though we So, having a puppy he wants to go with like party, but it's at like six p.m. Six thirty In bed and in bed in eight forty five. But we're in spirit. We like to eat it for three thirty. We ask the restaurant to open We like to eat it for three thirty we asked the rest of us to open Folks I'm gonna tell you a little something about rocket money, okay? Now I'm just gonna tell you

First of all if I asked you how many subscriptions you have like if I asked a normal person Would you be able to list all of them and how much you're paying, like all your channels you watch, all your streaming channels, me personally, no idea. By the way, it used to be, oh, don't do cable, it's so expensive. You'd be paying up to 13, no, cable is more. But you know what I mean? Now with all of these, they add up so much,

you're paying to me, it seems like more. But if I asked you about all these subscriptions you have, you probably wouldn't know. And so if you use rocket money, you would probably say yes, because they tell you, they tell you how many prescription, they go through it, figure out what you're spending, what you're subscribing to that you forgot about. And then they fix it. They cancel your unwanted subscriptions. They monitor your spending and help lower your bills. This is like a personal finance app. You can see all these subscriptions in one place. Now, if I could see them all, I would just go, yes,

no, yes, no, yes, no. And that's what I need. I need something like that. And that's what they do. Cancel it with a tap. Never have to get on the phone with customer service. They'll even try to get you a refund for the last couple of months of wasted money and get you to negotiate to lower your bills for you by up to 20%. All you do is take a picture of your bill. Rocket money takes care of the rest, and they'll try.

I mean, might as well try. You're like, I haven't even used this one since, you know, Carter was president or whatever. Rocket money has over 5 million users and has helped save its members in average of $720 a year, 720. But over $500 million in cancel subscriptions, wow. Listen, stop wasting money on things you don't use.

Cancel your unwanted subscriptions by going to rocketmoney.com slash fly. That's rocketmoney.com slash fly. RagaMoney.com slash fly. I mean, I love both of you guys so much. I can't even tell you. I want to go into your career and your stuff and everything you've done to influence me. You know, I wanted to be Danny Carvey.

I wanted to be. That's my whole reason for getting on Sarah Live. That was my whole thing. Oh, you said David's fade wrong. I think that's age related because, yeah, David. I wanted to be in a car. I was sitting behind it, read through it with a knife. Well, yeah, you were my surrogate.

You were my stand-in. Sometimes I do the chat rehearsals. David had to get the dress on and sit in there for camera blocking, which I thought was horrible. David, just for a few minutes, can you sit in there, Dana's resting. But Jimmy, you were 12 when I got on SNL. And that's what I call the peak formative year. It's like when I was listening to Monty Python or whatever gets in your brain at that age and through high school. So I appreciate you, bro. Thank you. I came to you how much I

would I was such an SNL nerd. I would, I would record it every Saturday night. It would be by myself. I wouldn't be, I didn't want friends over. I don't want anyone around me. My parents, I didn't want anyone near me. I just wanted to study the show and watch it. And I, I videotape it.

Then I remember like my favorite sketches. And then I would go to parties like, whatever, the next week or whatever. And I would bring vide video tapes with me with the best clips of SNL. Like I was like a human YouTube just going or watch this part and watch this thing. But I mean I was like I? It's still me. It's a bumble-hole. She's a lady, I know. If I didn't know, huh?

She'd be a lady, I didn't know. I didn't know. Did you ever put that out? Like, is that out on Spotify or something? No, the only thing I want to say, which was mind-blowing a few years back when I did your show. And then I just, it wasn't my idea, but all of a sudden they go Jimmy

wants to do Chappenbroccoli with an orchestra. Remember that? It was fucking crazy. So that was the mic drop of Chappenbroccoli. There was a string orchestra and then I was playing Chappenbroccoli on a baby grand. I had a hair day because New York water just flattened it, but anyway, that's just my... Broom. But I dropped in Rock'n'Lay and I took it really far. She chopped, she chopped.

She chopped. She chopped up. I think that's 20, that's a 20 minute bit in my standup, as you can imagine. But anyway, that's so you, Jimmy. We do have a, a kids, there's a connection to this musicality of what we do, and the way you do impressions and everything.

I brought a guitar. I mean, I'm in my office. Will you play something for us? That'd be awesome. You know, Dana while Jimmy's fudzing around, I have to say that if you're on SNL and you can play an instrument, Jimmy's like the perfect SNL guy. He plays an instrument. He's marginally good looking. He, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, uh, sex is one of the top 50 tallest hosts of the year. And he,

he's got a harmonic talking. Oh, I know he's going to do. I know he's going to do that supernatural. You see that he's going to do, he's going to one of three, they're Dylan, Lenin or Springsteen, which are all brilliant brilliant. Dillon's what, I thought maybe Neil Young too. Oh, Neil Young, yeah, just give me anything. This, I'm being entertained now by my guests. Neil Young would have a harmonica, like he plays it differently than Dylan. Did Neil Young plays harmonica with the songs?

He was like, I'll never hear something change. Yeah, it's good now, yeah. There's something changed. Yeah, it's good now. Can you hear it now? Now we hear it. Perfect. All right.

So, like, Neil Young plays the harmonica with the notes. Yeah. Yeah. So it's like... with notes. Yeah. So is that you. David and Dana. That's a... ...sit-in-a-tree. ...Dane of the... We're just a fly on the wall.

Down the hall of SNL. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. SNL, SNL, SNL, Dana and Dave. They don't ever call you Dave. Some people do. You have to get in the real tight circles. And then Dylan's faster. Dylan's like, yeah, a lot of up and back.

He gets the highest note of the harmonica and just screams it. Yeah. This is it good? Soon after midnight is a masterpiece. But he's got his new voice. Which is... That's what I mean, this other voice. I haven't really tried to do it, but it's pretty special. It's really well.

It's like, yeah, it's like, yeah, it's good. Soon after midnight, and I got a date with a fairy queen, with a fairy queen. I love seeing him in concert, because sometimes he doesn't feel like performing and he's just out there and he's going like, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh. And I'm like, oh man, this is weird.

And then he's like, how does it feel? And you're, oh, I love this song. Oh, yeah. If you mind if I let this go? Chevy times. Did you ever meet Farley in the old days? Chris Farley? Yes, sir.

I did. And Lauren had asked me to talk to them about the drug issue. You know, Chevy, if you could talk to Chris, might help. Might not, but might. I like your Lauren. It's kind of quiet. Will you do a little Lauren first? Yes It's that thing of like if you could talk to all Chris, you know about drugs. It might be like a really good thing I love his so I did talk to him and how to go well I love his song. So I did talk to him.

And how to go? Well, he didn't have enough drugs for both of us, so I got to see that. See, that's so classic. He's been landing all day for me. They're hitting for me. They're hitting. Once you get into his comic frequency,

it's like, it's just fun. Our Greg is laughing very hard. You wish you'd stayed longer at SNL? I kind of wish I did a couple more seasons. I feel like I'm here longer, I do. Thank you. Yes. Actually, we're now in life. Yeah. I do. That's 22.

You did like 40 shows, huh? How tall are you? Thank you. 5.8 1 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 question. I forgot the fucking question. We could have done movies during the summer and stayed on the show. Oh, you know, I would love to estate. And I really mean that. I mean, I left because of a girl. I had a

picture of the girl. And I kept saying, I got to marry this because it looked beautiful. And Lauren kept saying, no, she isn't. And and and oh and Doug Doug Kenny from the National Ampune became one of my best friends actually became my best friend. And uh... Oh That's all I got did he write animals?

Mm-hmm. Did he write animal house? Doug. Yeah, he was one of the writers. I think that Harold stepped in there to Harold Braimes. It was always what's his name? Who wrote these things? The book or the thing? John was a lamb is no John who's John Hughes. Yeah, but who wrote these things, the book or the thing. John. Wasn't Landis now. Jonathan. John Hughes. John Hughes. Yeah. But, of, Francis with,

let's move ahead and did with Harold. Vacation, honey. Right, thank you. Vacation. Yeah. You can't be in Harold completely re-roder. Yeah. Yeah, you have to rewrite him, Hughes.

Oh, I see. Because he's not really he was not comedian like you guys. He's not Jewish. Oh, well, if he gives you a blue print of a great movie, you can fix it. Chevy, uh, during the podcast, puts his hands up like he's holding a loaf of bread.

And look at it. I hope you get a bread. A little red. Show it. Uh, here's a house. That red. Show it, show it. His eyes. That's quite a loaf, I know. It's quite a loaf. Ed wants a slice.

Oh, boy. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Do you do a Lauren impression? Almost everyone in this oral history of Saturday Night Live. Even Lauren has a question. I've never made anyone like that. You know what I'm saying? And no one has. And I was, I'd seen Austin Powers a million times before I actually got the job. So then I went there and I'm like, so wait, he's not admitting that this is that?

Because this is totally that. That sounds like a new sketch that this is that because this is totally that. That sounds like a new sketch. This is that. This is totally that. This is totally that. Yeah. Well, did you have any lorinisms we sometimes collect, you know, things that he says to people? You know, the initial one was never, never, never underestimate the value of water is a kind of a touchstone

for a lot of people. Yeah. And he also like has a way of like summing up large occurrences in the world. It's like, because you know Elvis was a twin. So it's that. It was like what was that? What was that? Yes.

He was competing against a writer. Hitler was painter. And so it's all that. So it's that or more to what I never know what that is. Yeah. I don't know. You mean you should take over for Lauren. Keegan. Do you have any ideas? And who's good enough to handle that job? Higgins hands down. Higgins. I have a lot of list here. Steve Higgins. Yeah. I mean, Higgins is a no brain no brainer, but Eric Kimward is out there, you know, like Aaron Doyle, you know, the people that have been there for a longer period of time, I think Colin, you know, myself, I don't know, Chase, like we can all handle it.

Like if we all wanted to stick around and go in. Would you entertain it if they approach you? Oh, yeah. Like, why not? It'll keep me in New York. It'll keep me in a stable environment, which is hard for an actor. I'm just going to write your name down for a second.

I'm just keeping it in. So, put it in the universe. Thank you. That's great. I think you, we don't have pins. I don't have it. I'm disorganized. Seth Meyers and Tina Fey has.

Yeah, all of them, you know what I mean? Anybody that's especially been a person with a pencil in their back pocket for a week, you know, just for jokes and like knows the structure of the show. So Seth, Tina and any one of them, I think, you know, that have had a good run at it and enjoy it. They can get it, you know? I'm just... Well, you're interesting because you're 20 years, you know, every in and out, you know, what's going on. If you just perked your ears up to like budgets and stuff,

you could figure out pretty effectively. And there's also like the other element where Lauren is such a rock star. And he has so many like, you know, pick up the phone favor kind of, you know, moments that he can make. With the show, the network or the studio, just deals with them.

Yeah. Yeah. And keeps them away from us, you know, keeps us protected. Like, he's just an OG. So someone that can continue that kind of thing and like, make it a safe space for us and then also make a phone call and get a legend in there at the last minute if it needs to be that.

Yes, there's a lot of off label things that he's doing that go beyond executive producer. And I think he does always develop a fondness for his cast members. You can feel it. You know, I mean, he's talked very nicely about you almost in a paternal way with other cast members. He becomes the de facto dad that no one ever had or something, even though I'm three years older than him. He's still kind of my dad.

That's so crazy. Yeah. But I must be a crazy dynamic because yeah, he's the one we all kind of turn to because if he's not happy, like you know, the shit's not getting on. You know what I'm saying? Like he's not fucking with it, then that's the end all be all. So I've gone to him for a lot of different, you know, nothing pertaining to the show kind of advice because he just gives that air basically. Like, you know, if you have a question or, you know, if you have a situation, we can help you with it, you know,

nothing's too, you know, too terrible that we can't fix it. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And when I was sort of, you call it wilderness years or raising a family, Nothing's too terrible that we can't fix it. Yeah. Yeah. When I was sort of, you call it wilderness years or raising a family, whatever I want to call it, but then I ran into Lauren. He's just like, he said, everyone knows who you are. You know, it's just Lauren in a very supportive little like, you know, whenever you're ready, you just can do it some more. But yeah, he's brilliant

at those kind of, just been there, seen it all. And then something stepped out to me because he used to ground me and hit me. Okay. You want to tell us? Actually, he was gym downing. Not in hitting part. No, a lot of people did. Let's break some news. We got a crazy. man fall. You weren't like the spoil chart. David's like that to a boy and we have to take care of him. Dana, will you bounce him on your knee? David need a spanky. David,

David, he need a little spanky and he's in a timeout. Don't talk to him. I'm not going to use any sort of object or spatula. I'm going to go full any sort of object or spatula. I'm going to go full hand. But it'll be just on the bottom. Skin on skin. That's good for long.

Skin on skin. with the new non-alcoholic Bailey's flavored holiday menu. Whether you're hanging holiday lights or driving up to your folks, you can enjoy your tins and Bailey's anytime, anywhere, at participating restaurants in Canada. in the soap operas, right? And so I would make up a makeshift bar and have collied in a vase that you could see through. That was my carafe and then I would have ice and and tongs to put and then when my mother would walk in, I would stand the way the camera shots, you know how in soap operas. So open out. The camera comes in and then the person is talking to them from them back Like a rat focus. Yeah kind of right so I my mother would come in and I go mother you startled me Mother you start of me. Yeah, and she would go like this who the fuck left

The door open with the air conditioner on and I would go like this in my mind cut. God, so your survival mechanism was to almost live inside a soap opera with actual I lived inside and no one knew what I was doing. It was really crazy. Myself and then I would watch like little house on the prairie. I'd go upstairs, put my hair in flats, you know, in braids and they get on my prairie to jamas and I would come like little house on the prairie. I'd go upstairs, put my hair in flats, you know, in braids, and they'd get on my prairie to jamas, and I would come down and my mom would be in the kitchen. I'd go, ma, wins paw coming, and she goes, what?

I'd go, wins paw coming home, and she goes, I don't know, but you better have fucking money. God! Ha, ha, ha, ha. So it was like, my dad didn't live with us. So it was like, whatever, you know, and if my mind was constantly cut. Because it wasn't going to be what you wanted.

It wasn't going to be a TV show. You can't curse on TV. And I'm just, and she, and then I remember I would watch like, the 10 Commandments was just on the other night. Oh, the movie, the original one. Because it's Easter. Easter is coming. Yeah, it's a movie. And I used to live for the 10 Commandments.

Yeah. And I would be watching it and I'd go in the other room, my mom, the inner friend, or smoke and cigarettes and talking. And I would get a ladle and I would fill it with water and give it to my mom and say mom can you hand this to me and she's like what what do you want Sharon I go just hand it to me and then my mom's friend would say honey I'll hand it to you and I go no no no my mom go I'll hand it to you just give it to me so I she would take it and then she would hand it to me and I would drink it down really fast and I go, you are kind.

I will dwell in this land. And she goes, dwell in the other room. Um, you got a one woman show about this relationship. It's too much. It was so good. And then my friend, I, I would say to my mom's friend, you are strong, you stood up to the Malachi. And so you remember that from?

Well, I just know the Keynes, I actually read the Bible after I saw it when I was like eight or something. I started reading the Bible after I saw it. Wow, are you serious? Oh yeah, I was just like, maybe this is the true man, this looks pretty real. I was like, you know, I was like seven.

It was like a documentary to me. Oh, I'm gonna get to the bottom of this religion thing and I'm gonna open the book. He's like It's a bus door real thing and then he goes oh there is one at the library Let me delve into this a little bit Tina that's adorable and years later I'm just a flash which I want to ask you to I'm with Charlton Heston on SNL and Lawrence want to get him to do church

Chat church lady with Moses and he didn't want to do it. We're kind of pressure I didn't want to him, but he goes, this is, it's been awesome. It's so surreal, those kinda things, but back to this, I just wanna couch this for a second, so your mother's, you probably love, she's very aggressive, there's a lot of tension in the house. You escape into these shows and use three dimensional props

to kind of become a part of these calming shows, the 10 Commandments. Did you have a crush on Michael Landon? I was gonna ask, because what's the sort of a teen idol in a way for a while? Yeah, well. Little house in the prairie. No, I mean, did I have- I like the blind girl. I just thought it was.

Dude, it's like what I couldn't done with that joke. She couldn't see that I'm not that cute. I would just tell her I was. Not with that lighting. Not with this lighting. You can't see him listeners, but David's got gothic kind of lighting on his face. My hair looks cool and no one believes me.

I don't care. I'm going to the fall. We have great hats. I got to get a coat of that. You have a hat on. Well, because I was throwing you guys off because there was so much shade on my face and lighting it, look crazy. So Sherry, this is so interesting. I'm just so, you know, when I think about you

as a performer, just the word that comes in is committed. Not as a woman? Well, as a woman, that's a whole other, that'll be our second hour. We'll delve into your sexuality and everything You know, no you're very attractive. I've been on questions myself You know soon and I will you do you but Were you is committed? I mean you're so committed. You're watching these shows little kid

You got props and you're talking like biblical characters to your mom. What the fuck you doing? I so I love you mother How did this inform you as a performer? like biblical characters to your mom. What the fuck are you doing? I so love you, mother. How did this inform you as a performer? I mean, obviously you developed an ear and a ear with theatrical, but you'd never done anything official till you go into groundlings. And then how many years into that were you in the main company and ready for SNL?

How long did it take? I did two years of classes and then two years in the Sunday company writing and performing every Sunday. And then I got into the main company. I was in the main company for a year and a half and I would say that SNL was my first job. Wow.

And now you were prepped enough, right? Because you were doing pretty much exactly SNL, pretty much. Yeah, I mean, I just kept the same kind of writing and just, you know, just kept, there's, you know, I learned the difference between theater and television. I remember writing something in the groundlings that did really well, but it died. And I remember, and I remember, Quinn, Colin Quinn saying, share, I don't know if this is gonna come off

the way it did in theater, because when you talk out in theater on a stage, the audience can imagine the fourth wall. If you do it on television, you just look crazy. If you're talking out, you know what I'm saying? And I did not know the difference between that. And I remember it was Kevin Spacey and I had done this character where she has a party every year, the same party and the only two people show up. But she acts like there's a lot of people there.

She says all the things that you say when it's a really packed party. You know what I mean? Did you find parking? Excuse me, I just got a request. The keg is beat, a young party. The keg is beat. I'm going to pass a hat around. And all these things, and I did it with Kevin Spacey.

And it just died because of what he said. Because a lot of it was me talking out to people that weren't there. And it's kind of confusing. But, and then I remember Lauren always saying, Sherry, do you know where your camera is? And I thought it was a trick question. I go, um, yeah, no, you don't.

And because the people at home would like to see, the people at home would like to see you too. And I didn't even know what he meant. You know, you play basketball. I just, the only thing I ask, I'll ask this first, could you touch the rim? I could. Could you dunk a baseball?

I could dunk a baseball, yes. I'd probably dunked a basketball 10 times in my life. Shut up. Never during a game with a referee. I was just talking about this yesterday. Anyway, this is basketball going on right now. You know, a lot of basketballs. I'm just, so your sink is on everyone's mind.

Six one. Six one. What's your wingspan? Oh, probably six one, probably nothing spectacular. So yeah, pretty good vertical to get a basketball. It was also adrenaline. I also had a lot of friends that could jump and so it's a little bit of peer pressure that way too, or it's just come on, just shut up and do it.

But I do remember, if I dunk 10 times, six of them, six of those times were were one day after playing basketball like in between junior senior year, you know, I know, no, sophomore junior year like during summer. That's unreal, dude. My dad put up a nine foot hoop and fucked all the kids because we were awesome on the nine foot feeling. And then we could have high school. What the hell? Yeah, exactly. I can get the net, I can dunk on the net. Nine foot is awesome. No, it's less of a big deal now. I feel like shooting three off the dribble is what it's all about now,

because of Steph Curry and whatnot. But back when I was playing dunking was the biggest deal in the world. I mean, that's the test market for those strength shoes, you know, that they, you know, really what we kind of created. Yeah, I mean, I had a but the credit for the- Really, that we're kind of creating. Yeah, I mean, I had a pair for the legit reason. I would jump rope them all the time.

A lot of time spent on that, but yeah. You know, when they do it now, it's, they go past half-court. It's like one step, two steps, shoot it, you know. Jesus, how do you guard, you know what's happening? He changed everything. It's just one, two, boom, you know. And then they make it 90% of the time. Yeah, I'm

Caitlin Clark on the you know the women's college, you know circuit two I mean, it's all over all over the world. Yeah, just shooting you play samler. I Adam and I have played I think we may have played once or twice But not not not enough to have a scouting report. I hear he's good. I know he gets into it He's competitive too. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I probably don't know. It's all funny game still a game star. It's like, yeah. Yeah. Like get open. I know what you don't talk to me like that. Jesus happy. Gilmore. I'm not. I'm just checking calls sheet. I go all right. You were not triggering

financing out here, but we're all the same. No, I, but, but no, he, he plays, he's played in the game with my buddy, Sam Jones, that I've played in a few times and buddy Brad Morris. But yeah, I've played, maybe once or twice. I mean, the probably the best, the most fun I'd have playing in the, was, was hearing the stories of Gary Shanling's game, then getting invited to go play in that with Sarah Silver. Oh, you did. Yeah. And before he passed. And then, and then a huge thing was when, when Gary was like, Hey, you can come without Sarah if you want. Oh, that's a big deal.

Lovely. Like a lovely sort of. He had read about that game forever. Like in the, you know, whatever. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. And Sarah, you, I mean, who were the regulars? Oh, my gosh. I mean, McKay was there. Jimmy Miller. Jimmy was there a couple times. When I, I used to go in early, not early early days, but there was a run there when I went and I was no good and I sort of got pushed in the background. Yeah, yeah, just not the emails.

And you can do a muggy boogs out there. I was like, distraction, whatever they call me. Yeah, I just want you on the, I'm like, on the side, just like, you know, we didn't even go, we they come. Yeah, I just want you on the outside. I just like, you know, we didn't even have to keep it even. You out there and run around circles. Or a split web. I would have been a split web.

No, I got out of that quickly. I was, yeah, I was debaskable in high school. And our center was literally five three. He controlled the paint. Yeah. That was when they had debasked all five foot tall, 91 pounds as a freshman. What about you?

Were you always a bearded stud in high school? Were you a little nervous? No, no, it was a beard of Pac-N-E, like any of us, right? Like, um, I don't think I could grow a beard until about an hour before I got here. With banking packages from Scotia Bank, you can put money back in your pocket.

To you.

I mean, here's the weird thing. It's when I was, I mean, my kid child, I was bullied ridiculously. Half of it, the bullying, because I was just a little guy. And then I got busted school, so I got, I was a little guy and I was black, right? It's hard, so it's like, I'm getting double bullied. I would, if I was white. I would have probably got bullied too

But it was just like I was supposed to be telling probably yeah, it was pretty rough, right? And it was pretty like every day So I it's weird. I had a weird temper. I'm gonna be a weird thing. I was the oldest of seven and I'm gonna be a weird thing. I was the oldest of seven, and I was weirdly smaller than my younger brothers. So it was a weird thing where your brothers and like, hey, so and so down the block bothered me. And I'm like, I gotta fucking go protect.

And I'm like,'m fucking smaller than them. So, you know, one day a guy, a guy really disrespecting me, really bad, like, mush me out of party, and like mush me and push like, kind of like, kick sand on my face in front of the girls and shit. And I went home, I put a brick in a book bag.

This is like a legendary in a book bag. This is like a legendary story in my life. Like bad boys, yeah. And I fucking swung that shit and smack this guy on the face with this brick and then stomped to Joe Pesci style. Wow. Now, to the point, we thought he might die for like even like three days later,

every time a cop or whatever would come through the block, we'd be like, we're literally talking about ways of getting me to bounce south like that would have helped. Long story short, from that day on, as my shrink puts it to me, you have been scared to be angry ever since. So the guy you saw was bending over backwards to be nice that I was so scared of man. Yeah, I see. Yeah, I was frightened of what, you know, my shrink, my good,

the good shrink I got, you know, like the top top top guy. There's good ones and bad ones have definitely good ones and bad ones This is you know and he broke it down. It's like we got to get you over that Incidence right because you're a nice guy and this guy brought out something and you're so scared of that thing coming out of you again Yeah, that you let no whole world walk all of you. Your friends walk over you, your family walks over you, your female relationships like everybody just fucked you over because it's somewhere in there they know you there's a poor skill holding you back. Interesting. So confident in the wind, so I'm like the opposite of you,

in the sense that in the last year, now I can get a, I'm not scared, I'm not scared of letting people know how I feel about certain things. That, my therapy was about that too though, because I was always the nice guy holding stuff in and not really,

my aggression, my competitiveness overrobed the nice guy, because people will ask really, my aggression, my competitiveness overrode the nice guy, because people will ask me, who meet me now, well, did you just allow other cast members, like, oh no, Lauren, do their sketch? That kind of thing. There was a natural competition in me,

but in my personal relationship, I hated confrontation, because when confrontation happened in my house, bodies flew, my dad was just really violent. So I, even all my siblings are like that. We don't like confrontation. Yeah, no, no, no. That goes to my house too.

What's your pilot per se, but it was loud as fuck. Yeah, so. But those things stick with you, just loud. Yeah, it just sticks with you. So now, yeah, I can kind of, I can tell you, I'm, hey, I didn't like what you said to me or I didn't like what you, without losing my head, without getting anybody to break up. Well, that's a home run for therapy. This has been a podcast presentation of Cadence 13. Please listen, then rate, review, and follow all episodes available now for free.
