Episode Date: October 21, 2026

One of our funniest recurring guests!!! She always brings it.

Oh, my God, my brother would took my mom's dildo. He must have been like five. And he would go off the street, put it to his deck in front of all his friends. He'd go, if I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the morning. And it would make his voice. And he was doing fil-dil-dil-dil-bidts at school. They didn't know what it was. And then I got to do Just Shoot Me with George.

Yeah. And I said that to him. And I said, and you. Jesus Christ. And then I remember they're going, Mr. Terry, what do you want in your eggs?

Happy nail, how I help.

Oh, yeah, I've gone in to those places. And I love it because she always has an attitude, how I help. Is she mad that you're calling already? Oh, she's pissed. She was pissed waking up. I hear so much about nail salons. I've never been in one, but it sounds like. You haven't?

I know. They're slightly irritated. You're there. We can tell by your hands. Here's my point. David, do you take baths? Bavs? Do you take a bath?

David, why don't you try saying hi to Jean? Who's Jean? Hi, Jean. Hi, Jean. God damn it. Because the reason I go in there once in a while with my wife is because my feet are gnarly because I don't take baths and I can't really see anything. Anyway, do you have a lufa? I'm Dana Carvey.

Our guest today is Sherry. No, I want to hear about the lufa because I have a lufa, and I heard you're only supposed to keep them for two to six years before they get bacteria. Yeah, you got it right. I had a lufa all through college, and it was so grimy, but didn't slow me down. I think that's how I got crab six times. It was that or a pay phone. Our guest is Sherry O'Terry.

We're back from break. back from break and Sherry O'Terry is here by popular demand. Really? Yeah. Oh, you were very popular. Oh, man. I'm so scared now. They're going to be like, wow, she was funnier when I couldn't see her.

Yeah. That's definitely a danger. But what it is is you tell stories and then we can't see them. And then they were like, we want to see her. And I'm like, I know. So next time. All right. By the way, I know this is not related for sure.

but you gave your little pillow there, a nice little karate chop in the background. Isn't that a rabbit pillow or some kind of animal? Yeah, what is that? No, it's got a rabbit. No, no. Is that a rabbit? I can't see too good.

Sherry, come on. Let's go out. I'm going on fly on the wall. Chop. You guys, congratulations. The show's doing so well. Is it? Oh, comedy podcast of the year?

Whatever. Yeah. Oh, that I hope. heart thing? Yeah, that little eye heart thing. That was political, but thank you. Pretty soon. David's going to be practicing hygiene.

No, I'm not that gross. Sherry. Sherry saw me pass out at Fiorello's. Oh, my God. Your friend's in the bathroom, he's fainted. And I'm like, is he okay? Can you check? And then he comes walking out,

like hair like because he passed it. He's like, I need orange juice. Like, no, you need to pay the check. It's your turn this time. Stop painting. Stop fainting. Stop fainting. Oh, yeah.

Oh, sherry. Here comes a check. I go, oh, I know what I'm allergic to. The check. And he's out. Dana, I was stressed. I know. Well, it was a thing we've talked about it before.

Before you handled your hypoglycemic nature. Yeah. You have candy bars everywhere, even in the elevator. That's another story. But Spade went down, you know, there'd be a, but he's okay. That would be in a read-through normally, which is a feignable place to fame. But it was so funny. It was so funny in New York, real casual, your friends on the ground in the bathroom.

And I'm like, could you check for a pulse? I mean, could you do? Oh, okay. Well, yeah. You don't mean international superstar David Spade, dude. But they go, yeah, even the waiter was like, you guys are going to be late for read-through. You know what I think happened, Sherry? I try to time it out without letting everyone know that I'm falling apart at the seams.

So I said, okay, if she comes over 11, we get down there, I'll have food by 1120 or something. Like, it was a little too close. I don't have anything on me, which now I do usually. So she picks me up and she's like, here's her dumb bad idea. Let's walk. I go, walk 30 blocks, Sherry. I walked all the time. It was the only time we were outside.

I know. It was a good idea because I wanted to get that six minutes of sunshine when it's above the buildings and it's like noon. Yes. And then it goes back to shade and shadows. But I said, oh my God, this is going to tack on to I got to eat, but I can't tell her. So I started, I got about two blocks away. I started hearing, hello dark. She's like, you're not listening to my story.

I'm like, I'm trying to survive. I can't believe I'm going to think. You were to my house once in Encino and you didn't say anything. Your eyes went back in your head and you jumped in your truck. Like, okay, he's got to go. There was not like, you all right? Or what? Gotta go.

And go to Burger King. Now, I want to put this in my head because the audience may not know the story. So this is sort of mid-90s and you guys are walking in Manhattan down 6th Avenue or something. Some Upper West Side possible. All right. And you don't really know each other, but you're having lunch. No, we do. Kind of.

You did. No, we know each other in the show. You overlaught. Yeah, I said, let's eat. I think we overlapped one year. One year, okay. And it was, and we walked to work, Sherry's idea, obviously. And then we got there and then I blanked out and then drenched and sweat on the floor because I hadn't eaten.

And then she was like, oh, this guy's a real puss. But, you know, this is what the show does to you. At least you saw. And then we got to work and we forgot about it. And then he would say, you would tell me the funniest stories. go, sure. I go up to this really pretty girl at the bar and say, hey, excuse me, aren't you, aren't you on TV, aren't you like really famous and, like, you're a real bona fide celebrity? You're like, you're amazing.

You're really talented. And oh, my God, I'm so sorry. That's me. Hi. That's a good line. I mean, I'd never heard that. David, David has game. No, I have to say that's partially true because I would try not to milk it that long when I go, oh my God, wait, are you on TV?

Oh, no, wait, that's me. Hi, I'm Dave. David's thing is, don't call me. I'll call you. That's you, David. Whenever you called me, I was picked up and everything. I called you nothing. Like flat line, nothing. Sherry, I want to jump ahead a few years.

You were in Europe recently. Was it yesterday? No, it's like two weeks ago. Oh, because I keep watching your Instagram and all your ridiculous. You kind of do what I do where you just go do these stupid little things. I like when people tell me that.

They go, I like your stupid shit you do. Your pointless, unfunny stuff. I like it. That's nice. I like when I get to, I have to turn the air conditioning on. I love when I get to do it when I think is something last minute. Anything, I never, you know, do anything that's thought of, you know, as you can tell. Right, like thought out ahead.

Yeah, that's why it was funny. I saw a couple of them hysterical. Yeah, and then, wait a second. I don't know what's going to happen, but guess who calls me? Who? Deluxe. Oh, I thought in my head when I saw that, I thought, is she doing an ad? No, because I did that because I always crack up at those commercials that start with.

I like to live an active lifestyle. You know, and. It's hard with poop in my diapers. And then they go on. And so that's what I was doing. I didn't hashtag Dolklax or anything like that. I just was, because I did it in Portugal, too. I was doing a bike tour in Portugal.

Of course. And I go, I like to live an active lifestyle. And with Dolcalax, I can. Hard seat, soft stool. Thanks, Dolklax. My mind's blown. First of all, they were tidy and perfect. And you're right.

Duck, who called you? And are you going to do a commercial? I just need to cut to the chase. I don't know. I mean, they're going back in 14. and they also represent colase and metamusel. Nice. Whoa.

You're going to be busy. I'm going to have my own shit show. Boom. Oh, dude. Welcome my shit show. What do you have to do to say you poop your pants sometimes? That's fine. No.

You can't poop. You know what, you guys, when I was going to do on New Year's Eve with Anderson and and Andy on CNN's New Year's Eve. And I had done, I had written this thing where Barbara Walters was, you know, promoting her own podcast, of course, right? Yeah. It was Barbara Walters podcast from Statue to the Streets, brought you by Dolcalax.

Hot interview, Saw Stool. And here, I had it all. I was so proud of this sketch. and I rehearsed it the night before New Year's Eve and then I went downstairs to meet my friend for dinner and I get a call, Sherry, Barbara just passed. Oh no. Yeah.

And ruined your bit. Jeez. Yeah, but that's the first thing you thought. No, I actually thought, I don't think I should do it. That's what I thought. Like, you know, you can't do it, you know. but I ended after you cried about Barbara Walters for a while. Well, I stayed up all night and I just started writing down things, you know, and

then they said, Sherry, we want you to say something, you know, about her. On the show? Yeah, instead of me doing my bit. And then, and so, yeah, so it was good that I started writing something and I, and I wrote something. I go, listen, this is what I wrote, but, you know, I'll say whatever you want me to say. And they go, no, every, what we're going to say is what everybody, is saying. But what you just are saying is something more personal, you know? And it was really

weird because so many people reached out to me as if I was her daughter or something, you know, and I felt like I was glad that I said something. You know. And what did you say? Where was it? Home base? And you came out, I'm sure. No. Anderson Cooper is like outside. Oh, they were they were both outside. And then they showed me interviewing her as her. Because on the last day of the view, I interviewed her as her. And I remember them saying, Sherry, she's never going to go for that. She's never going to go for that. I'm like, that, you ask me what I want to do. I want to, so they had, I wrote it with Frank St. Pietro. I wrote something. They fly me in. We are dressed exactly like, we look exactly like we're sitting across from each other. And she says,

um, we're, you know, the cameras are setting up. And then she looks at the moment. She goes, my hair, my hair. And her hair guy comes in, zh-s-j-j-j-j-j-h-h-h-h-h-h. He walks off, and then she's making small talk with me. And then she goes, my hair! Why does my hair look like this? And then her hair guy comes in and josh-jiz her, and then goes back, and then we're right about to shoot.

And then she looks at it and she goes, What the hell is going on with my hair? And then he whispers to her. He whispers to Barbara, you're looking. at Sherry's monitor. Oh my God. Is that real? Yeah.

Oh, fuck. I thought she's going to go my hair, meaning your hair. No, no, no. And the greatest thing was she laughed so hard. And, you know, she's so controlled that to see her laugh, like, you know, really laugh. I mean, it made me feel so good. Still, no one fixed my hair. But.

No one cared about you. You're the comedian. She's the comedian. Yeah, yeah. Do your jokes, clown. But that was like a highlight of my career in viewing her as her. Do you ever wish you could ask nosy questions about people's money? I have $729.71 in my bank account.

We bought a $1.3 million house on a $350,000 income. On the podcast, What We Spend, we ask those questions. It's a show about money and all the feelings that with spending it. I want to be the kind of person who can just take care of the people in my life. Listen to what we spend, an Odyssey Original, available now wherever you get your podcasts. I will say, Sherry, this is nothing to do with you, but, and we'll cut it. But one time, I got to get interviewed by Barbara Walters, and then just a quick one. And then afterwards, we took a picture. And then my mom loved her. So she goes, what's your mom's name? That's not a good

one, but you know, you could say it. But I said, oh, Judy, and then she took a piece of paper off my desk and just wrote a note to her. And then I put it in the picture and sent it to my mom. And that's sweet. That's really nice of her. She was very sweet. It was just one of these, like, I was part of a seven people, you know, like she'd do an hour of like, interesting people. I would think I was watered down, like, marginally interesting people. That was like one of, one of her. She had so many specials, the top 10 most interesting people. Yeah. You know.

It was something like that. It's funny because my cousin Mary called me and she goes in Jersey and she goes, Sherry, you know, Barbara's leaving, you should do something. And I go, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Two weeks go by. She goes, hey, I called the gang at the view. I said, excuse me? Yeah.

I called them at the view and I told them that I think you should do something. And I go, you did what? And she goes, yeah, I talked to the producer. And I told him I thought you should just, he said it was a good idea. And that he'd get back to you when it was closer to. And I was like, all right, at least they were really nice to her. That's sweet.

And then like two months later, I get a call from the producer. And it's, Sherry, your cousin Mary called us with a good idea. I swear to you, it was because of my cousin, Mary O'Tiery, that I got that interview to interview her as her. Oh, that's good. She was, my only story is that she wanted to interview. me. I was at the Beverly's Hotel. I'd had some health issue and I'd got in the tabloids and people were after me for kind of that, you know, type of interview. Got to get in a talk. Break silence.

So, so I would say that she left 25 voicemails all night long. I want Sherry to do the voice. This is what she would say. Hi, Dan. This is Barbara Walters. If we could just talk for a moment, I would appreciate it so much if you would call me back. And it was just all night long, more, more, more voice mails. Are you serious? Yeah, yeah. She really I mean, I saw why she's so successful. I mean, she was like relentless. She wanted me to host the show because I remember Meredith Vieira was stuck in Buffalo and it was a big snowstorm. And then I said, oh, you guys, I got a call that morning and I go,

I'm not good at that. Like, I'm not a stand-up. I'm very, I'm not good off the cuff. You mean you want a bit to do that you write? Yes, yes, yes. Because sometimes when you go on stern, he goes, hey, do Donald Trump, if he just heard about this, and then you have to riff and riff. And it's very hard to not have your hooks. You know what I mean? You have that muscle.

And so, and they go, oh, Sherry, look out your window. And I looked at my window. And there's a car with a driver standing goes, she wants you in that car. Get in. Get in the car. Oh, wow. And then I went and I did the show. And they were like, wow, she was right.

This is not. She doesn't know how to do it. This is not what we thought. I was quiet. I had, I was so nervous. I was, yeah, I was pretty quiet. They didn't ask. I like, Dana, your last four messages from her at 3 a.m.

We're like, you up, you up. And you're like, these are getting more like a booty call. Well, what would, I would assume that. I want to. Yo, yo, yo. Yeah, I want to interview. I'm going to throw you one because I think you can talk as Barbara Walters. Just like, okay, she's at Baskin Robbins.

But she can't decide which ice cream she wants. And she's really torturing the employees there. What is into Maka Roka? It didn't take you too long. Are they nuts? Are they nuts? Because apparently everyone is dying from them. The angry, aggressive.

That's funny. Because I assume you were on S&L that when you had one of your characters and there was a couple of writers around, basically you would just riff, you know, and get things started. They'd write for the hooks. Or there was a lot of that, I'll bet. Well, I started writing, Lorne really wanted me to do her on 2020. So I did and then, Carol did Q Downs. And, yeah, Q Downs. And probably did it perfect.

It was amazing. He was amazing. One guy told me, he goes, you think you're the biggest star in Arizona? You know his? Hugh Downs. I go, okay, no argument. I hope he's out of the way now. And then that led to interviewing, you know, she was everywhere.

She was, you know, and then once I got comfortable doing her, it was a blast. Yeah. Yeah. What about, what was the lady? What was she talking about Dana when she was on and she kept acting at her mom coming in the room or something? What was that story? Oh, when you're on before, there was, we were dying, because it was just all about your childhood and your fantasy life coming home.

Oh, yeah, you were like, think you're in a soap opera. Watching soap. And you had this fantasy life. And then your mother sometimes would be disappointed and come in the room and say stuff. Would you just give us a taste? No, it was, when I was growing up, it was doggy dog. It was chaos. I mean, things were thrown.

There was no semblance of any kind of civility. And so I was really hooked on, I was hooked on soap wrappers because of this ability. And I thought, I want our home life to be like that where the TV isn't on 24 hours a day. And then she would come home and I would set up on our radiator and mock bar because in the 70s, they always came home. And so far as I went straight to the bar and open the carafe. And I would put Kool-Aid in a see-through vase and have the ice cubes in my jelly glass. You know, all those jellies that turned into a glass with the cartoon characters on it. And I'd have a scarf around my neck.

By yourself. How old are you? No, she's waiting for a mom to get home. You're 10? No, no, no. It was truly, it was like in my mind, she's walking up the outside, the front porch steps. and I'm like, action. And then she walks in.

And I said, oh, mother, you startled me. I wasn't expecting you. And I said, I've got my test results back today. And you know how I would always stare at the camera in my mind because in soap operas, the person stood in back of them and they kept looking front because I'm thinking the cameras right here. And I would say I got my test results back. and then she was still wouldn't answer me

and I go would you like to know and she goes, well the fuck are you talking to? Turn around! And I'm like, cut. And let's set this up again. You know, she can't curse.

She can't curse. And then I would do it again and I would just I would pretend we were like in a soap opera and I would be the only one speaking that way. But, you know, it was just really me living in a fantasy world and always pretending like we had a normal home. You know, I used to think. Did you ever have therapy and talk about this?

It's pretty heady stuff. Or is this it with us? We had really, this is pretty much it. I mean, I am a licensed therapist. So I, we do this to see which one's the least crazy, but we're also crazy. No, but that was the good that came out of it. You know what I mean? That wasn't what I talked about. You know, it was maybe what made me do that. But that was me waking up and, okay, how can I make my world cope? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Didn't you do a biblical one too with a ladle or something? Oh, I remember watching. I loved the Ten Commandments. Yes, me too. and I would go into the kitchen and she'd be talking to her friend and she always said, what do you want?

When you'd walk in and interrupt them? Yeah, what do you want? Mother, I thought I'd get maybe a beverage, a glass of Kool-Late. Hi, Adele, it's nice to see you again. You know, and I was always talking as if we were civilized. And then she said, one more time,

what do you want? And then I go, Mom, will you, and I would get a ladle, and I would fill it with water, and I go, will you just hand this to me? And she's like, what the fuck, Sherry? And then my mom's friend would say, I'll hand it to you, honey. And then my mom goes, I'll hand it to her. And so she would hand it to me, and I would drink it. And I go, you are kind. And then I would say to her friend, I would say to her friend, you are strong. You stood up to the Malachi. And you are strong like bull.

You stood up to the Malachi. I will dwell in this land. I will partake of your bounty. And she goes, dwell in the other room. It's like. Go watch Killigan's Island. I'm constantly having to yell in my mind. Cut.

Cut. Cut. It was going so good too. Who hired her? Who hired her? Who did she sleep with the get this job? job. Who was there a lady that said, remember this one, Dana, and she goes, I'm keeping this.

When you say I'm keeping it, it's funny. That's a normal thing with neighbors when you throw shit in their yard. That was from when I was a little girl, my grandmom, this was before the, in Atlantic city, before the casinos. And everybody from South Philly was on. Before the casino. Yep. Everybody from South Philly was in this area.

And everybody's grandmother lived with them. And they all policed the street in their housecoats and slippers and knee highs. And I just remember we would all be playing ball on the street. And whenever anything would land on like my grandmom's porch or anybody's porch, the grandmother would come up. I keep it now. Have your mother come get it? You happy? Yeah, I see that finger. I'll break it. You know, somebody gave her the finger. But really, they just wanted the person's mother to come over so they could, you know, shoot the shit.

And send your mother. Some things are so funny that I can't laugh at the moment. But I just wanted for a second to go back where the friend says they'll hand you the ladle. And you take a drink. And what did you say to the friend after you took the drink? I said, yeah, you are strong. you stood up to the Malachite. I will dwell in this land.

I will partake of your bounty. It's all from the Ten Commandments. I know, but it's just so... So how often did this happen? Yeah, that's great. I mean, was it every day? Was it twice a week? Did you have siblings?

And were they in it? Nobody truly knew what I was doing. No one... Oh, you know what I mean? Nobody cared. It was almost like I was truly in my own world. And you guys, I have to say, You know, I wrote a movie about it.

Oh, you did? Yeah. Called our lady. Can we talk about this? Yes, I think you were starting to write it or something. So what, tell us about that, because I think you were, it's called what? Our Lady of Perpetual Sorrow. It's the name of the Catholic school she goes to.

Our Lady of perpetual sorrow is playing tears of St. Joseph's this weekend. Are you going? It's like, the Catholic school names were her. horrendous. We had O-L-P-H and is that a normal one, Our Lady of Perpetual Health? Oh, yeah, I think that is. So is Our Lady of Provetual Sorrow. Oh, it is.

Oh, Sorrow sounds like more of a bummer, you're right. I know, but I just think it's so funny that that's the name of this. So you wrote this movie and was it? And it's really about your, this part of your childhood. I just, this popped to my head. I don't even talk about it before. Did your mom, was she around for your smashing fame blast success? Yeah, she was, she was living, she was, she's in Philly.

Okay. Disbelief. I mean, because then does it all connect for her? This kid is always acting out into the little scenes? I truly don't think so. I imagine her saying she was alone a lot. Huh. Some parents are jealous.

Some parents are jealous when their kids. If they had aspirations, especially, sometimes you read that they're actually a little bit jealous of their own child's success in show business if they didn't get to pursue it. I don't think she could have imagined that that would have happened, you know, at all, at all. And then I saw her in an interview once.

Somebody interviewed her in Philadelphia, and she's like, oh, I always always. knew. Like, what? Like, what? I mean, my brother and I did make her laugh a lot, but I grew up. I was very influenced by my mom, you know, she wasn't very happy. And so I did whatever I could make her happy. So she listened. Whenever she laughed, I paid attention. Whenever she laughed. And She listened to comedy albums all the time. She listened to George Carlin Cheech and Chong. She listened to Bill Cosby.

She listened to Woody Allen. And I swear all that stuff stuck in my head. And even if I didn't understand something, I would understand it in the context of what they said, you know. And that probably, I think that's what made my sense of humor maybe a little bit more advanced, you know, than my age, was listening and memorizing these albums. And I remember when I was in school, I was like second grade and they said, you know,

who has a joke they'd like to tell? And, you know, a kid is like, why'd the guy throw butter out the window? I don't know, Timmy, why? He went to see a butterfly. Oh, that was very, very good. And I'm like, I went to the doctor the other day and he told me I was schizophrenic. so frenic. I said, no, I'm not, neither am I. And this is like second grade. The nun goes,

put your head down tooteri. And I'm like, oh, I'm like, oh, rough crowd, rough crowd. You're just doing an album. I'm eight years old. It killed it in my living room. That's funny because you're probably, yeah, it's a little more sophisticated when you're seeing what makes her laugh, then you go, what about that joke? If I don't get it, what's the funny part there?

What does she like about that? And you have to break it down a little bit. I just heard hearing her laugh was music to my ears. Sure. Especially in a stressful house. And then I remember, I never saw her laugh so hard. And she watched this movie, Where's Papa with George Siegel and Ruth Gordon? And she was crying, laughing so hard.

And then I got to do Just Shoot Me with George. Yeah. And I said that to him. And I said, hmm. And you. Jesus Christ. He's easy. He's great.

I mean, David was the fonds of that. No, I don't know if you remember. I was on the set, too. If you look at the call shit, if you haven't won't. No, I love George. He was so funny. God, damn. But I would love to.

I had, and he got such a kick. I'd go, I never saw my mother. I was a kid laugh so hard because when she watched you and Ruth Gordon and where's, where's Papa? And he's like, really? Really? He was very sweet. It was so fun to do that show, just shoot me.

For sure. What was the, you were an assistant that obsessed with Maya or something? No, like I was kind of like, they were, they were treating me as if I were kind of like a dog that they rescued. Did you do an arc? Yeah, they brought me back again. And then I got a nominated for an Emmy. And I'm thinking to myself, this was me. Sherry, you got nominated for a nominee.

I was like, oh my God, for SNL. And they go, no, just shoot me. And I go, that was a cakewalk. I mean, how, like, I'm writing and I'm like, you know, working my ass with all night long writing and, you know, for SNL. Pressure. And I get nominated for like going on a vacation, doing your show was like the first sitcom I ever did.

And I was like, my God, this is amazing. No matter what you're going to be written for. God, that's exactly how I felt getting on. And I had all these great writers and I'm like, they'll put you 90% there. They'll go, if you think of an ending, or if you think of something here, just put it in, I'm like, so wait, you're writing for me every week. I know. And then I just say it and it's funny.

And I'm like, this is a miracle. And David, what was so wonderful is they got your voice. And so that was interesting to watch. Like you saw the beginning of the show and everything. And then it was just like, they knew how to write for you because your voice was so, was so strong, you know, and I was just, and then I remember they're going, Ms. Othuri, what do you want in your, in your eggs? I go, what's your angle?

What do I want my eggs? What do you mean? What are you bringing me breakfast? What do you want? Yeah. Such a gift. Those things are good. You get on a sitcom that's good and it's just so much fun.

So, Tieri, could you hand me this ladle? Okay. No, it was just, I couldn't believe what a great atmosphere it was. I remember when you pitched, what if my character recites the whole Ten Commandments movie? And we were like, well, it feels like it would be too long. It's funny when you're a kid, those movies are on like three times a month. And then when you're adult, you never see.

I know, I know. We waited all year. And then I remember moving California. And I was going to Ralph's in my car. And I turned signal on. and this guy just right in front of me and got right. And I put my car in park. I didn't park it.

I put it in park. Got out, went over to the guy and he gets out. It was Charlton Husband. No. Wow. And I was like. Dana, what would he say? I've never seen you before.

No, I'm doing Phil Hartman. Charlton Heston was, was, the host where I was there and Lauren's dream would church lady would be with Moses and then there was a meeting in the office and just not my cup of tea and then Lauren kept pushing and I was like

no no no it's all right you don't have to do it you don't have to do it but that was Lauren's dream and Billy Crystal his album I cracked up my mom loved Billy Crystal and I loved him and he he does do you ever think of the worst casting ever and he said how about Edward G. Robinson in the Ten Commandments.

Where's your Messiah now, Moses? Where's your Messiah now? I remember that. As a kid, that was funny. Even when I was eight years old watching me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, my son. Yeah.

Fancy. Yeah, fancy to sound some kind of God person. Yeah. I was the same way. I saw it when I was seven or something. And then I came home and there was a Bible and I started reading it. I was like completely converted for that moment. I know it made me feel, you know, because I went to Catholic school and it just like, you know,

reinforced everything. And I was such a big Jesus fan growing up. When I used to, Sherry, when I was younger, I'd watch like the rock block of like happy days and the running sure. And whatever else. And then imagine shit. And I'd always want my mom to watch it with me. I don't know why. I wanted her to laugh.

Yeah. And then she'd just be kind of happy. paying attention. Luckily, we didn't have phones. She'd be on her phone, but she'd stare at it, and then she kind of drift off. And I'm like, oh, this is a shitty one, you know, because I want her so bad at that. But, you know, it just wasn't her a cup of tea, you could tell. But she would be excited that I liked it. But I, I was the same way. You wanted her to crack up. Oh, I wanted. Because she was always stressed. Oh, my God. It was like she was not happy. And that was before, you know, like antidepressants and, you know what I mean?

Yeah, they were raw dogging. Yeah. They were all dogging it. Yeah, she, I don't think, yeah. She wasn't even a drinker. I'm like, mom, go ahead and drink. I'll give you this. It's the dad left. You got three asshole kids.

I know. I remember smelling pot one time. And, but here's a funny thing. I used to, like, clean her room, make her bed. And, you know, so she'd come home and be really happy, you know, and I'll never forget lifting her mattress up. And I was a kid. And I'm like, there was a gun, a dog.

dildo and a bag of something. A satchel. And this was me. A go bag. This was me. I'm like, the fuck. I was a kid.

And I just thought, I don't know what's in that satchel, but I'm not going to look. No. That was heartbreaking. More dildos. No, no. I'm thinking it's got to be, it might be bullets or drugs or whatever, but I'm like, you know, a little girl innocent, making my mom's bed and everything. It's five grand.

go bag. She just goes, sorry, guys, got to go passport. Every kid at some point rifles through their parents. Oh my God. My brother would took my mom's dildo. He must have been like five. And he would go up the street, put it to his neck in front of all his friends. He goes, If I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the mall. And it would make his voice. And he was doing bill-dil-dil-dil-bids at school. They didn't know what it was. And he would just turn it on and put it to his neck. And that's, well, the folk music, uh, mashup was pretty much. And I can see all this friends.

Let me try. Let me try. And, uh, this dildo is your dildo. This dildo is my dildo seem fun if you don't know what they're for. Right. And my mom, of course, is not going to say, where's by dildo? We're like, what's a dildo? Yeah.

But that's in the movie. She was like, did you see my squirt gun? It's kind of like a squirt gun. It's kind of, how do I describe it? You see my rocket? You know. my Judd-Appado is a bit where he says the guy had this growing up in high school and he says it's hard to whisper.

He's like at a party going, that girl had an abortion. He said, you need a volume on that. See that girl by the punch. Everyone just thought about Judd-Avda. And they're like, that's a rough joke. out at his joke. That was funny. So Sherry.

Buddy. Sherry. Now, you never caught up with pudgy-widgey-wag-wag-fudgy. Fudgy-Wy-Wy? Pudgy-Wy-W-G was in France. France. You were screaming at some Fudgy-W-W-G. Yeah, that was when I was on the beach in New Jersey, and when we were kids, there was a ride.

Well, you're keeping up with the Kardashians. I'm keeping up with the fudgy-wudgy man at the Jersey Shore. Dude, you hit that. You're watching your day? Well, I'm actually watching my weight. I just have a fudgy wuzzy. Says it twice. Yeah, just you.

Improv is listening. Okay. That got like a million or something and I'm like, why? I'm sure screaming, fudgy wudge, you know, because when we were kids, it was a fudgy wudgee guy. And these guys, when we were kids, were all like, like old Vietnam vets. And they were carrying this freezer on their back.

They didn't have the wheels. And they were miserable and dripping and just miserable guys. But we would, you know, scream fudgy wudgy! Because I said to my friend in marriage, I go, what if we screamed as adults like we did when we were kids for the fudgy wudgey guys? So that's what I did that.

But then when I caught up to it and I saw how good looking it was, I was like, who was that asshole? screaming because I'm just lady. I think she ran off. I saw that little attitude at the end. Yeah. He was hot. He got all up in your shot.

Very hot. But he was a kid too, you know? And then a friend of a friend called me and she goes, that's my friend's son. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, that's right. That's right. And then the next day, or two days later, I did it. That guy was even better looking than that guy. And I went up and screamed and I was like, holy these fungi.

wudgy guys are not my fudgy wudgy guys anymore. Did you do your fudgy wudgy bit again? Yeah, I did. But now everybody's like, oh, fudgy wudgy wudgy. And I'm like, uh, um, they were doing a fudgy wudgy calendar because these guys are so hot. So I think

I pretty much gave her the idea, the one who owns the fudgy wudgy kind of franchise. And then they wanted me to come out and do the calendar and scream their names. Or just be in the calendar. And I'm like, Okay, I go out and she was supposed to pay for the air.

Didn't pay for it. Look at how far this story got. Didn't pay for it. Okay. She told me where she was putting me up. She didn't put me up there. It was like a dive motel. And she just like kind of got me out there under false pretenses and it never happened.

She kind of fudge the truth. Yeah, she, yeah, she fudged the truth. But yeah, yeah, it's so funny. like what people like. It's crazy to me. Yeah. I would say immediately when I heard it is that it wasn't so much enthusiastic. There was an aggression to it.

And then saying fudgee wudgee, it's super innocent, silly ice cream, but a real aggression of fire. I mean, so that's what. And a lady doing instead of a kid. Well, yeah. I mean, I just thought, I don't you see what?

And I just wanted to make her laugh, you know? And I was like, my friend left. Because that's what we did when the ice cream man came down the street. My brother would scream at the top of his lungs. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. And then you have to go get the dollar from your mom and then, you know, make sure it stopped.

The truck stopped. Yeah. You also do stuff. Sometimes I do like a museum. Like when I'm on the road, you go do something you never do. And then you just do bits inside because, like you're in a museum, right? Oh, yeah. I was at the Palace of Versailles.

Oh. And then you're filming shenanigans. Yeah, you know, you just get. It's fun. You know, because I was looking at everything. I was just, you know, I was interested, and then a little bored, interested, a little bored. So whenever I got bored, I was just, I would just like film what I saw on the thing. Of course. That's funny.

It's always funny to do that shit. It kills time. We're on the road, we go, let's go to the zoo. Let's go to a museum. Whatever's in the town. And I never think of that when I'm home. It's always when I'm away, something will make me say, oh, let me shoot this. Let me get this, you know?

Well, you're out of your element, I think. You're out of what you do every day. Yeah. And so suddenly it's, you have to have new adventures to think of new bits and stuff. Yeah. I mean, yeah, I guess so. You know, you have to be, you know, inspired. And I'm not inspired when I'm home.

right well with the dukilux what is it duckalux with that one did you say to your your friend all be there and all i'm going to drive past frame and you're going to hit it like in turn and you know yeah that had a slight moment of planning just for a second you go there no because we were we were we were at here it was we were on another tour and uh getting the history of paris and i'm like all right so um i learned enough i think we're going to do something funny and So I said to my friend, just get me a riding down the street. Stay on me. Stay on me.

But I'm telling you, wherever I go, I love to do bike tours. Love to do bike tours. I don't want to walk. I want to bike. Oh, wow. There we are. Oh, there you. Like biking in Paris.

And with Dolcalax, I can. Hard seat. Soft stool. Thanks, Dolcalax. Excuse me, ask you for play. forgot about your tag yeah again that piercing thing screaming

the laugh because it's so violent and it's great you have a good yell who's the soft pretty lady when was the last time of the cheerleaders on the show oh really what did you do on the 50th

I missed it were you there did you do anything no I was not asked to do anything I sat in the audience bastards that's fine waste of talent. Sherry. But Adam gave me a shout out in his song. Oh, he did.

Yeah, and I thanked him afterwards. I go, hey, thanks. That was the most I was in the show. What did he say? He's like, of course I'm going to name you. He was sweet. No, what did you say in the song? He sung that song and he named people on SNL. Oh, didn't they mean?

I think he's nominated. Well, you were actually on the show. So, you know, you were a favorite child. No, that was a lot of time. You had the line of the night. We've talked about it when he was in the audience. That was the line of the night. What was it?

David had it. Oh, I got a feel for it. Yeah. The big Broadway production. Were you there for that shirt? Did you leave by that? John Mullaney. Honey, you were so funny.

Okay, that was more like it. Thank you. You were really, really funny. And everybody said, where's Dana? because everybody wants a controversy. Dana. Where's Dana? Where's Dana?

Where's Bill Hader? Where's Dan Aykroy? Are they hanging out somewhere? Dan Aykroy, Bill Hader and Dana? No, they go, Dana like, I'm your caretaker. They're like, where's Dana? I'm like, oh, I shouldn't say, but he's not here. It's funny they even notice.

You know you're a big star because it's such a shit show of everywhere you turn. There's somebody famous. So for them to even, it would have taken me weeks to go, oh, wait, you know who wasn't there? You know, because you just don't know. It's a blur. Well, there was so many famous people there that it was like he was also servicing, you know, people outside of the cast. Right. Yeah, you got hosts that can do whatever they want.

You've got Sabrina Carper. You have newer stars and you have Paul Simon. They put them together. I would say the good nights for me watching it on television. was this like and seeing Lauren's body posture and the look on his face and like his whole life is there was like a movie basically yeah um just him there 50 years you know and just this what can you say about just Lauren's kind of shy about his feelings you know really he hugged me and said I love you so much I'm glad Dana's not here I said Lauren he said I'll never repeat this. I'll never say I said this.

You'll find that David's fair. Sherry will always bring something to the table. Nice and vague. Yeah, right? Make sure David has some SpaghettiOs waiting. And then everybody I know doesn't say anything to me after the show.

But I had to, you know, because, you know, they're wondering why. I wasn't. But I did have, the whole week was really fun when I was there. Doing Good Morning America and what else. Oh, and then doing Andy Cohen, Bravo. That was so much fun with the girls. Oh, yeah, that's right.

Sure, are you okay? Yeah. Oh, okay. I just saw what happened. So what about after the show, usually they, get to just go, hey, good show, good show. But if you weren't in it, which they don't even know, you could have played a piece of toast in that millennia.

No one can remember who exactly was in it. If you had told me you were in it, I would go, oh, great. Too long of a show to really remember. Yeah. Million sketches. Everyone was playing a statue of liberty or something. I had a good seat.

I had a good seat. No, he had a good seat. Was anyone near you that was exciting to see? Rob Schneider. Yeah, so Rob, and then Kevin Neeland was sitting next to me, and we were laughing. Oh, Nealyn's a good laugh, yeah. Yeah. Did you go down and talk to Nicholson and sit on his lap?

I did. Wait a minute. Is Jack Nicholson there? He was. He was an Adam song, too. Maybe he just came out for the song. He did a little line. Oh, really?

You're in the Spillover Theater? Was it in 30 Rock or were you down at the wharf? No. I didn't see. Was he really there? You see Miley Cyrus? She was in the front row. Oh, yeah.

Well, she sung. That's how you know if they were there? Yeah. Yeah, Jack. I think Jack came out mainly for Adam's song, and then I think he went out because I think he was in not 100% health. I don't know for sure. But when I walked by, I, of my course, graced him with my presence.

Are you doing grown-ups? Easy. New grown-hound. Grownups three or four. Easy Liza Gibbons. Wait, you were Adam's ex in grown. I'm called Liza Gibbons. He's Nancy O'Dell.

Wait, you were in Growniffs, too, was it? Or first, or one? Yeah, two. That was, that was fun. Oh, and you fucking wear your barrette that Adam gave you. It's so hilarious. And I love Steve Bouchemmy, played my husband. Oh, that's cool. That's right. Oh, my God. How many times people go, I saw you in grownups because it's on every single day?

Oh, my gosh. You know, the people say, you know, this new generation, they say, are you the girl from grownups? You know, because they never watched the SNL. But, um, no. But yeah, that was, that was really fun. I think I get growners more than anything now because it's on some. Yeah. For sure. I don't know. Young people, the big dumb comedy of the 90s and era are, you know, they kind of stand out, you know, because they're just trying to be balls out funny physically and they're silly. I don't know. I think that some of the young people, there's so much they like. You know what I would love seeing on Instagram? I love when they show outtakes of Tommy boy.

Oh, my God, I crack up so hard. I love it because when I first saw it, I never saw it. I mean, you and him together were just, I mean, on and off. Your friendship was just so adorable, but I could not, I cracked up at you two, like just playing like brothers. Right, just fucking up lines. And he would try to screw up every line and he laughed so hard or he yell at the crew. And half the time I don't react because I'm like, my God, we're on hour 15.

You can't keep doing it. He would be like mayor of the set. walk in and he goes, hey, Steve, how are you? Did little Jimmy play this weekend? Okay, is he first base? I'm like, are you running for mayor? Let's go do the scene. Okay, then.

And then, but the one thing he did that I didn't do that, I think I admitted that was so rude is when I went to his trailer to leave and it was after about a month of shooting and I went in there and he got his shit and shockingly, all his wardrobe was folded on the bed. And then I go, you. You fold all your wardrobe when you leave? He goes, yeah, don't you? And I go, he goes, where is it? I go, I don't know, all over the room.

I just take it off and put my clothes on leave. He's like, what a dick. I go, I know, right? I didn't know you did that. I swear to God, that's how stupid I have. So he would fold his little outfits on and put him on the bed with the shoes. Are you serious? Are you serious?

Are you sure that was a wardrobe? He didn't have to do that because they're going to throw him in a big bag and wash him. Right, but that was like a nice thing of growing up. Like he learned. Wow. I didn't learn that part. So that's admittedly me being wrong in that situation. But overall, I remember the Tommy boy when I laughed.

The hardest is that was when he's on the bed with me. And he goes, I go, he goes, Zelensky's going to come. And he'll save us. So I go, yeah, you're like, he seemed like a nine guy. And I said it weird. And he goes, oh, my God, what a dick. He just starts laughing so hard. But he got, I don't even know if it ruined that take.

Wasn't that it? Wasn't that in? It was in the movie, and I think they used that tape because it was a pause. And then he started laughing. That was funny. And his laugh was so hilarious when I saw. No wonder that. It's sad.

Yeah. It's not like he's working. You know what I mean? It's not like you guys are working. You're just like goofing and getting to say funny lines and crack up at each other. Yeah, 100%. All right. We'll let you go.

We'll probably do a part three one day because it's so funny to have you. Yeah. So much fun. Thank you, Sherry. Love talking to you. Love seeing you. I love you guys. And I'm so happy that you're killing it.
