You'll be a new fan. Here he is. Kyle Dunnigan. Dana, we're almost done. Do you need a hat?

Oh, right. Chuck Barris, you're too young. Yeah. Oh, no, I know Chuck Barish. Yeah. He would randomly come out with hats and not refer to them. I did like that. Oh, really? So I was doing that. I saw you in a hat, like a round circle. Yeah, and a farmer hat. I was like, I need that because the sun's really bad.

And then I got one. A fucking pineapple picker hat. I can either spend hours with greasy. sunscreen all over or I could put a giant hat on I prefer the giant hat Some people will know Fuck the hat

I'm gonna grease it up for hours I do both Kyle done again is our guest today I want to be a dermatologist That's because of the way you look I went you know I went to dermatologists And it looked at a thing And it was

Yeah Because I thought this looks not great Are we recording Yeah light it up Let it up Let it up Let it So let me tell it's a dermatologist story

So what happened? I think I actually focus the podcast on dermatology. It's a good when it's about something. It's a good niche. Well, what happened? We can always cut this. Which means we won't cut it.

Yeah. Go ahead. Well, I just looked at like a little mole spot. And I was like, that doesn't look good. I went and the guy looked at it. He's like, you're fine. And then this girl came to visit me for like a weekend. I think I told you David about those.

And it did not work out. Like she walked into my house. Well, I knew that was coming. Yeah. She walked to my house. No, he always, that's how they always end. I had a, yeah. Yeah, it always ends like that.

I had this house and she walks up. She goes, do planes always fly over your house? She immediately just had all these awful things about my house. I never noticed the planes. But I'm in the path. Now I, it's constant. There's just planes around. Anyway, she goes, I don't like the look of that mole.

And I was like, I checked it out. I think it's okay. Chew it off, bitch. She's like, I don't think it's dangerous. I just don't like the look of it. Yeah, yeah. It was just a vanity thing. Yeah.

So I went, but I went back. and a different dermatologist was like that's a problem and cut it out and it had like it got caught. It was, it wasn't for her. The girl was the problem?

I thought he said cut the girl out of your life. Well, I was naked on a slab and this guy's going around with the eyeglass. He's like 90 or something. Yeah. And he's going around and everything he sees because I'm covered and stuff. He goes, age,

age related. And a woman's writing it down. Age related. Age related. Yeah, I swear to God, for a half hour. Did you do anything? Nope. Age related.

Sick. That's like Billy Bob Thor, age-related. He goes, this doesn't look like much, but you might have to remove it. I go, my weiner? And then he took that monocle off. He goes, oh, I'm sorry. Weiner is the greatest childlike reference to a dick. Actually, Dana, tell him when you went to the masseuse, what'd you said.

Oh, I had this masseuse once, and she'd really start digging it, and she'd say, give it, give it, give it, give it, give it, give it. Give it, give it. Didn't she go by your wiener and go, you hungry? No, that was me. That was true. Yeah, no, I went. Irish comedians for 100.

Is Dunnigan Irish or British? It's Irish. Irish. I eat her. Yeah, so we have the same. I went to it. This is like a longer story, but a Tony Robbins wanted me to perform at his birthday party.

I had to, oh, go ahead and tell the story because why not? This is a great one. Do you do Tony Robbins? No, I don't. But I tried to get one for the thing. But I was excited because, like, I like Tony Robbins.

I read like three books in my life. Awaken the... Yeah, me too. So I was excited and I was nervous because they were paying me more money than I've ever been paid for anything in my life. $750. No, higher.

I turned them down. No, I know. You got to pay what it is, but it was more than a thousand dollars. Tony does not, Tony... It was 24,000 dollars, more than a thousand dollars. But what do you're a net? It was $25,000.

It was great. Yeah. That's wonderful. Well, yes, I was very excited. A adorable number. I know to you guys. No, to you guys, that's so... No, we don't get it.

He says money bags here. Think about where you are and think of who owns this place. No, I know. Cooling this house is $25,000. All right. Tony Robbins tried to beat you up. Got you in a headlocked.

We'll let you get through this story. Hopefully, we probably won't. I was nervous and I thought, hey, Tony would say, take care of yourself, little buddy. People don't know Tony. He's like nine feet tall. Yeah.

He has actually a tumor and it's pituitary gland and it's pumping out growth hormones. That's why he's so big. He's younger. He's growing a foot and a half in the last 18 months. Yeah, he's been... When he was a kid, they asked if he wanted to take it out, and he was like, no, I want to be enormous.

Like, he could have taken it out and he didn't. Is that true? That's a true story, yeah. Oh, my God. He is a huge man. He wants. It did, yeah. He really stands out.

Yeah. He, like, obviously the documentary, but he puts his hand on someone's head. It's like a giant catcher's mint just envelopes the whole guy's head. All right. I'm getting to the... Because you a bunch of five. I don't share. I like the whole story.

Hey, you're a little piece of shit. Yeah, he's a therapist that swears. Yeah, he yells. He's scary. Go ahead. I'm getting comfortable. So I was like, I'm going to go, take care of myself and get a massage. I never do that.

So I went to this place. And I don't want a hand job. I know about the little handjob thing. You're not one of those happy ending. Yeah. David's never heard of those. No. Yeah.

But the whole point of going there is to feel better about myself, you know? I don't want to walk. I want to, you know, don't want to have, like, have a hand job. So I'm like, how do I don't want to. How do I look like I don't want a hand job? So I take off my baseball hat, because guys in baseball hats look like they want a job. Very suspicious.

You know what I mean? So you take off the gap? Yeah. I'm not taking David wants a handjob. No, check. I like it. So I take that up. And I kind of go in jolly, you know?

Yeah. Instead of like silts. Yeah, like serious looking around. Slinking in. Yeah. Embarrassed all right. Shame. Yeah.

And she gives me a good back massage. She flips me over. She starts doing a little tickly on the stomach. I'm like, oh, this is like, going down a handjob lane, you know. And so out of nowhere, she taps my penis. And she goes, you hungry? And I was like, oh, no, I'm, I just... The better question is, is she hungry?

She seemed hungry. Okay, got it. I didn't ask her, but, you know, this is important for our listeners. She looked, like, famished. Yeah. So I said, no. Someone's the meal and someone's the consumer of the meal.

Yes, yes. She was drooling. Then she tapped my penis again harder, like four more time. She was like, no, you hungry? Am I breaking your money? And I go, oh, no, thank you, thank you. And she goes, oh, girlfriend? And I go, no.

And she goes, wife? And I go, no. I know where this one's heading to. Yeah, and she goes, oh. That's it? She thinks you're on the other team. Yeah, so I walked out of there feeling great. I go to the Tony Robbins thing.

And beforehand, they did a Zoom call with me, you know, where they go, this is what Tony wants. And he wants me to do Biden on a big screen. No one sees me. They just see Biden. But he's going to introduce me as the president of the United States is here. And I was a little worried because that could happen. He could zoom in the president. He's met all the presidents. So I said to them, I'm a little worried they're going to be disappointed when they see me. And they were just like, this is what 20 wants. This is a cult. You don't tell what we do. Yeah. I did the same kind of gig. I want to hear about this because I'm sure yours is better than. No, everything is ringing true to me.

Okay. I love Tony Rob. Tell when they play. They play like a videotape before. Yes. So, well, it was actually two things. A montage, right? Yeah. I'm making this story way too long.

No. Not on fly, right? We go over here. I googled Tony Robbins' birthday on YouTube. I don't think I told you this. Research. And his last birthday was this big extravaganza with all these stars.

Just like, Tony, you're the best. He's bawling, crying. His wife's like, I love you, honey. It was like a 60th of that, you know? So I felt even more pressure, like this is the next birthday. So I get there and he's like, thanks for doing this, you little hunk of crap. And he waxed me on the back.

And everybody's super jazzed up. But they've been up since like five in the morning, you know, swimming with sharks. This is a lot of corporate gigs where they beat him to death. And they go, here's your entertainment. They're like, it's like, go, we can win. They have dancers come out. You probably saw this.

After every speaker, they could go on. Mine was on Zoom. Oh, see, that was smart. I was there. I flew down to West Palm Beach. He wanted me to fall out there. Undisclosed location. So anyway, so what, how does this?

What happens? Yeah, get to the end of the story. No, you know, I could do Tony Robbins for the first half hour. And then we'll do McCartney for the second half hour. He's at a trampoline, and I jumped on that beforehand trying to get pumped out. And so the guy before me was the secretary defense, former secretary defense, Larry Sumner's, and he just talked like this. He went over an hour and a half.

Economist. It's like midnight now. And Tony goes, are you ready for the surprise of your life? And they're like, yeah. And they're like, have I ever disappointed you? They're like, no, you never disappointed us. And then he goes. It's all true.

And then someone goes like, blah, blah. There's a pause. He'd forgot to play the package they made, this minute package video of him with presidents. Oh, okay. So now that play is like, okay. No, yeah, the President of the United States, they go nuts. Then they play the package. Then he reintroduces me because he introduced me before he did it wrong.

But now it really feels like for sure the president. Because in the video they said he's shaking hands with Obama. Yeah. So they really think Biden's coming up. Oh, they 100%. Oh, and there's no way he would fuck us over and have some asshole playing by. Exactly. So I'm sitting backstage like, oh no.

It's the nightmare imagine. So then I pop up on the screen and you hear this audible, uh, from the audience. And I'm like, Hey, it's Tony Bologna's birthday. That pretty good guy. Come on.

May it's a good guy. Corn Pop. Dying. Cornhop. And just death, nothing. Really? God, that's so unusual. They're nothing from them.

Because they're angry. Yeah, and I think they don't even know if it's a joke and they're just staring. And I'm in my head, I'm going, this is my, this is the funniest thing. And I've got another 25 minutes. You know when you don't like your funniest bit. Yeah. Yeah. You're like,

This is just going to get worse. And are you in a suit and tie just at a regular mile? That's a whole other thing. I went shopping. You're nervous. You shop for a new outfit. Oh, before or after the masseuse. I had to go after.

You know what I mean? So I bought these new shoes. They were both left feet. So I couldn't even use it. I had dirty shoes. Who does that? I'm making this story. I'm telling you 10%.

This is going to be a bonus podcast probably. If you want to go to the page. It's his own podcast. Yeah. And then I got a shirt. So I looked, it was a black button and I looked like a magician. Yeah. And I made a joke about that.

You have clown shoes on and a misfit. I wore my dirty shoes. And because I couldn't fit into those two left feet. They go, I like when the magician made all the laughter disappear. Yeah. It's weird because the screen goes up and now I have to introduce myself. And here's a surprise for. Don't it, Kyle's not in.

This is very normal. They're like, this guy's still going? Yeah, yeah. Well, I walk out and they jump up and they're like, yay, because they're all taught to just give you. Yeah, the energy. And then back to like, we hate you. Sit back down.

This is very normal. Yeah. And I go, I said something about like, I know, I look, I'm about too magic. I promise I'm not. And they're like, we don't want to see magic. What's the entertainment. But, yeah, they don't get any sarcasm or iron. No.

It's almost like the opposite because it's all about positivity. And then I, you know, stand up still cutting. And I'm halfway through jokes going, don't tell the rest of this joke. I told a joke, I go, I did this girl. She was too young for me. She was 19 years younger. Don't judge. I was in college.

That's when you experiment. And they go, oh, wait, that means she was like three. Oh, my God. Yeah, that's a tough opener. No, I didn't. Yeah. It's such a good one. You just go into Bill Maher or something.

What's your fail safe? Like, Defcom 5, what bit is just never bomb? That situation when you jump to maybe this is like now? To your sure fires. Yeah, but nothing's working. In your head you have nothing. Yeah. But you're skipping chunks and then you're like, I won't have enough now.

Yeah. And you're speeding through. Yeah, done it. Half this. And then the clock's like going backwards. And I'm like on the piano at one point. And then people, I have like pictures. I don't know if you have a website.

I could put up. Anyway. We have nothing. It doesn't matter. We don't really good at social media. We barely have audio. I just got Wi-Fi. I get off and I was supposed to sing happy birthday to Tony as, as Caitlin Jenner, right?

So there's a wig. I'm back on the, where the laptop is where I'm projected like a face swab. And I see the wig there. Go from the wig. No. I say I can't. I need to walk out of here with something. I can't walk out of.

to here with a woman's wig on. So I leave it there. And not crush. Yeah. And I just go sincere. I'm like, hey, guys, it's Tony's birthday. How about a happy birthday? I was supposed to be like, happy birthday to Tony baby, yeah.

And do some, but he's got a big old cock. Yeah. But I bailed on that. And I just did a sincere happy birthday. And they just turned to their leader. And they're like, happy birthday. And I use that to sneak out. And I'm grabbing my stuff.

And so he thought I was offstage. I was under the desk. And he goes, did you guys have a day, never forget. And they were like, yeah. And then he goes, this is a night I'd like to forget. No. He was talking about me.

Way. Have you ever heard Tony Robbins saying negative three of your life on anyone? No. And he said about me. That's weird. It was rough. That's weird. That is weird.

We're right back on this show. From our sponsor's point. Yeah, I was just on a Zoom group real quickly, and he was just super enthusiastic. And there were just all these flashing pictures of people all over the world. And he would go, I would do. I would do a bit. He didn't like Fauci, so I was like, you don't need a vaccine, it'll solve everything, all that stuff. And he goes, give it up for Dana Carvey. So I'm just in my little room. My wife's cooking dinner downstairs. And he's going like this. And it went on for two minutes. So I started dancing in my room and just for one landed joke. Yeah. It was during the pandemic, obviously. How much time did you have to do?

I think it was supposed to be 45. I think it ended up being 35 and they were fine with it. David, do you have a Tony Robbins gig story? You know, I did get a call about a Tony Robbins gig. Oh. You what? I got a call about one recently. Are you being serious? I swear to God, yeah. Because I turned them down.

I think what happens is they do these gigs. Yeah. I was too busy. Go ahead, David. You have to throw that. Well, Dana, you already did it, though. You were number two. No, but then they wanted me back in person.

Oh, yeah, yeah. And I was really, really busy with something. And they only told me five days before. So I said, you know. There was nothing that was going to stop me to get $25,000. This would have been for I would like that money now that my 401k is 70% down

Yeah Because of I think I know The back ass the best The best It's a car band Because of Docu sign

Or no DocuSign, yes The stock market's been bad It went down over 100% I actually owe money It's negative 28% No it'll be fine Yeah yeah

I'm fine Um David You guys are fine I like when you both do Biden It was funny talking to each other. Well, I just end with Pirates to Caribbean. I love yours, your stuff.

It's good. We have, like, different Bidens, which is... Yeah. The latest, do you do the Whisper Yell? Because that's what happened after Afghanistan. Yeah, like, yeah, like, come on, man. He's got this guy. Puntang.

Not Poontang. Yeah. The guy. And then it's like, yeah, it's like a lower, like a mumble. He does, like, yeah. My dad used to do this where he'd patronize Whisper. Like, I. know better than you do.

Oh, yeah. Because I know a lot better and I know how to do it. You know, but your Biden's amazing. Yeah, just come on. Yeah, it does that way. And you do everything. I mean, you just went at him early because now the New York Times is attacking Biden, saying he makes up

stories and bummling. Back in those days, it was a hot oven, but your thing was always just edgy and funny. Kyle on YouTube is all, and the Instagram is always something that's ahead of the game. You could just go anywhere you felt like going. Even when you do Caitlin Jenner, you get You get, you always wonder, these card actions even, are they even aware?

I had, I never know. They, I found a video that they made, because I did a video where they were like, we're mad at you. The whole thing was just like, we're mad at you. They were all mad at you. And then Chloe did a video going, we're mad at you. Oh, really? They did it.

So they saw that one. I don't know if they saw the other ones, though. I think maybe just that one. Should we talk about one that you thought might tweak them? Because you're always going for the laugh. You don't seem like you're waiving any political party or any point of view, other than what's funny. Yeah, that's all I'm trying to do is I get a lot. Fresh Prince of D.C., right?

I'm trying to finish one up now. They take forever. And I go dark. So, you know, with making money on the Internet, you've got to keep cranking stuff out. You know, sketch, you're really hard to crank out. I mean, SNL's, they got 30 writers or something. Oh, no, one-man band? What you're doing?

I don't know how I can get all that stuff. house and you've got green screens and face swap and all these computer things and you have graphics. And then I'm going to edit and then it's like, like I'll be like, oh, I need tape to tape down this wig. So then I go to this door. I got to get the tape for the wig and that's a half hour. And I'm like, oh, wait, I need a tie. Then I go to like the goodwill and I get a tie. And then I'll shoot for an hour. I'm like, oh, my ear was sticking out. I got to reshoot that for a now. Do you have anyone helping you? I know. I know some people can help you. I need to find the way to get money that I could pay people because that's, that would be great.

Well, you're okay. It's Kyle Dunnigan's a YouTube channel for our listeners. Go check it out. More talent. It's tougher to make. There's just some ways it's hard to make money no matter how good you are. It's just hard to get on YouTube and that shit. It's hard to crank out sketch.

Like, they do, S&L's got, there's probably two sketches a week that are good. Well, they write about 50, 55. and 24 hours. And two are good. And they take two weeks off every two weeks. It's just like it's like baseball. You know, most of you strike out. Sometimes three, Kyle.

Oh, is it three? No, Lauren visited the podcast. We would do two and then a week off and then three and then a week off. Then around Christmas two weeks off. But you're right. A huge staff churning stuff out and it's a numbers game. Yeah. So I'll like do a few in a row and I'll watch it grow and then I'll stop.

I'll need to like take a break for like a month or a couple of things. and it'll just, I'll drop 40% on my next video. So it's like, that's, I'm trying to figure out how to do the business side. So now this next fresh pressing is more like a short film. I'm going to release it like, and maybe have people pay like two bucks for it or something. So it's a parody of the Will Smith show. Yeah. He's done a bunch of those.

I know, I've seen them just for the audience. Kind of rapping as Biden and running around and then insanity ensues. Yeah, and those like sitcom laughs around.

And won an Emmy for, Girl, You Don't Need Makeup, which I listened to today. What was that? Girl, you don't need makeup. Was it on Amy?

Perfect when you wake up. Yeah, it was on the Schumer show. My mom has that. I brought her the Emmys. She's very excited. Okay. We'll come back to the Amis Schumer Show. Sarah, so many, did you write for that show?

I did. Actually, that was a show. I was writing, and then I had, I was like, I have to get out of here. It was a great job, but I just felt like I was writing too much for other people, and I wanted to, you know, perform. I started making, actually, during that writing thing, I figured out how to do the face swaps,

so it was a FaceTime call so they could talk to each other. And that was like a big, just like, I was doing invitations of the writers in the room, and they liked it. Then I started doing it online. That's kind of what blew that up. How long have you been doing this? 2016 or 1617. And so, okay.

Well, early on, we'll tell us when you, you probably were into SNL because we all were. Yeah. And, but you did, did you finally get an audition? Was it one or was it you were trying to get an audition? Like everyone? Yeah, I didn't know what to do. Yeah, big fan of SNL.

Dana's been huge influence. We talked about that. But we don't have to. Yeah. Yeah, well, maybe we could talk about just a little. We can talk a little bit. Three sentences. I'll comment David, though, because I was an extra on SNL.

When I was there? This is the worst story. No, you had left like the year before. And being, let me just go back, but David. Oh, we're going to doggia that one, yeah. Yeah, David. You could see in the monitors what was going on in rehearsal, and you can hear it. And I was like, oh, David's the funniest one.

Because he was so. Yeah, I don't remember what you're doing. And then when an air show came, he would freeze up a little bit. He was funny. David was always the funny. So funny. But very, very low-fired. Rehearsal show you, yeah.

I mean, rehearsal, I didn't know back then, they were probably taping him, but you're just bullshitting with your friends saying, by the way, anything for getting you're on camera. But when Kyle was there, we were doing, happened to be one of my favorite ones ever, which was the Gap Girls. Lay off him. I'm starving. Lay off him, I'm starving.

And Kyle, not only was he there, he was a extra. Ooh. And they put him in the Gap Girl sketch. And they put him in a primo spot behind us. I was really excited about that. So you were just on camera with no lines throughout the sketch.

Yeah, and I'm just right next to Chris Farley. I'm like, this is probably my big break. I'm not sure. That's not sure. So we're about to go out. And David comes already.

Like, yeah, this is my friend. Oh, my God, Rick. My buddy was visiting Arizona, and I'd never done this, ever. And I fucking go, can he be in this? They go, yeah, and I go, Rick, why do you sit here? And they pulled Kyle out. Yeah, well, they flip me. So, like, it'll get you the back of your head, Kyle, and my friend, look at the,

and then he became famous off that. He got a deal off that extra work. Can I ask a question about this? So sickening. Just for a second, because I don't know that part of you. Like, when did you start being a comedian? Trying to be professional. Was your first stand-up at 18?

Or were you doing little shows for your parents when you were 10? We have all different. When I was younger, I didn't, I remember being laughed at, but not like me trying to be funny, but like humiliating things. Just in school? Yeah. Yeah. And even my very first memory was my whole family laughing. I mean, my grandmother was like, I was like, what's this, Nana?

It was a placemat. like a choo-choo place and she goes, oh, you eat on that. And my little brain was like, eat on it. Didn't make sense, but eat it made sense. Like, on was like, I think I could skip that little word. So I just started eating it and they came in. I was trying to eat that. And this, my first memories, everyone was like, ha, ha, ha.

And then I got to school. What an idiot. Yeah. And people would laugh at me, but I wasn't trying to be funny. I was little. I think we're like three little guys, right? Yeah. Three of us were like little guys.

What was your height and weight when you entered high school? All I know is the tiniest, except for my friend Michael, was like a half inch and I love it. Because when they'd line you up, it was like Michael, year on the end. But I was always number two. But I remember they had superlatives where they go, you know, best looking, mostly succeed. And the popular girls come up to me. And they never talked me. And they were like, we decided you're the funniest.

Whoa. What grade was that? Junior high? It was like eighth grade. It was like 12 years old. So before school, you know what I say to that? I go, you hungry? And they go, what?

And you go, it's early. I'm going to ask you again. But I didn't really know or think I was funny. And then the lobby of the, before you go into school, there's like a lobby and everyone hangs out. Oh, it's terrifying. Yeah. Junior high. Right, right.

And this big, the big bully Scott Chapman comes up to me and he pushes me and he goes, you're not funny. Whoa. Because we got out that I was going to be the funniest and he wanted to be the funny guy. And I was like, yeah, okay. I don't, I don't think you're right. Beat the funny out of you. Yeah. And he goes, I'm funnier than you.

Now everyone starts gathering around us. Like it's going to be some funny fight. A funny fight? Yeah, yeah. It's eight miles. So what does he say? I backed it. I was like, you are like, I totally agree.

This is hilarious what you're doing. So then I got voted class clown. I got upset about it because clown. It kind of hit me. It's not good. Especially when you're 12 and you want to be liked by girls. And it was like the popular guys, I was like, oh, they look at me like on this like clown. So my friend was really sweet and he was intended to do something nice, but he

went to the principal or whatever and was like Kyle's upset of the clown called the clown. So they changed it to best person. They changed it to best personality. Really? Don't shrink down. Don't he's shrinking down in his chair. They changed it. Did you, did your gift for Mimincree emerge at that time?

Could you do the P.E. coach or were you doing, you know? Yeah, that actually got me attention from girls. I did, um, I did Michael Jackson. and this girl I really liked. We'd be like, do Michael Jackson, so it just danced like a monkey. And one time she'd crots it off her shoe, Michael Jackson, and I got hurt personally, like, we broke up.

But did you do the voice or just do a little dance? I do the voice and the dance. I remember this is a hacking impression now, but I saw, one of my first impression, I saw Christopher Walken at our local tiny grocery store, West in Connecticut, tiny little thing. I'd never seen a famous person before, you know, so I was following them around like a creep.

You know the thing when you go to a grocery store and you're like, oh, I just want to get like some batteries, but then you start going oh, I need that, I need that. So he had this whole pile of stuff. And right before he got to the front, he just like jang it all over the floor. And he goes, oh no,

my cottage cheese. And the lady was like, it's fine. And he's like, no, no. You get quiet and be like, I'm sorry, he got really loud. And that bug got me. I was like, I think one of the first impressions I did. But I did impressions, but then I started doing stand-up when I got out

to try to make money because there just was no money and sketch. Out of the world of school, out of college and stuff. Yeah, okay, so early 20s you start doing stand-up. Yeah, and my managers were like, don't do impressions and guitar. So everything that I do well, I didn't

do for 20 years until I found Facebook. They told me not to do that either. Yeah. Don't do impressions. Don't do the church, Lee. What bad advice that we got. Yeah. Later, you go, what the fuck do you know? So then what was your, like those years you got on shows pretty quickly, like Cedric the entertainer, you're a sketch player?

Yeah, that was, I thought that was like a big break because I was kind of a hit sketch show, and I joined mid-season because, like, we need a white guy to pick on. And before we would do the show. It was like a funny little thing. They would do a prayer circle. And Cedric, you know, was very religious.

And he's holding hands with two Jewish, you know, producers and we're just sitting around. I would just stare at the Jewish producers because they'd have to be there like, pray, please Jesus, help these setups, land our punch lines, and we'd be all praying for Jesus. And there was really only like a couple of people

who believed in Jesus, but that was before going to... Are you just a lot? I'm not religious, no. Okay, no. Do you have any affiliation with a political party? No. How do you spell your last name, Mr. Dunnigan? Wait, I want to get to some impressions too.

But also, oh wait, when did you do cruise ships? Because my buddy does cruise ships. And he said they're tough. My friend was like, don't do it. It'll be really bad. And I was like, how could that be bad? How could it not be bad? How could that be bad?

So I go there. Cruise ships. Three shows a night. And it's a free show. So everyone goes to the show because it's free. They already paid for it. And I'm bombing so hard. Mostly wheelchairs.

It was a very old cruise. You hear people leaving these. and then the walkers after that yeah he by WD40 and I got we love when David does I know he does great

he does great sound effects WD40 gets underplayed in the world it's out there though yeah but I was famous for being terrible on the ship so I just hid in my room and then you go and you're looking over the Lido deck and it's like that guy suck

are you the guy that's horrible yeah so you bombed the first night no I bombed every night No, nothing. Three times a night. Three times a night where it was just this awful. And then one time,

they make you after the show say goodbye to everybody. So you bomb and you got a big, thank you for coming. A little chance. Yeah. So I see this woman sort of hovering,

you know, around me. And I'm like, oh, here's a fan. We'll have to deal with this. This is nice. And she goes, I have to tell you, you look exactly like my dead son. My son just died

a month ago they were going to cancel this trip and they already bought the tickets and the dad won't look at me apparently I look amazingly and sound like her son who just died so I'm like oh my god I'm so sorry and then I keep running into her because the ship's not that big

like at the buffet by the pool and then I went to one bar and I'm like oh god there she's got the rest of her family and it was like there he is and no there he is and they're like oh she confused you dying on stage.

You both died. Once you died on stage, I was like, no, that's him. And then she asked me to go rock climbing and Trying to be the sun again? Yeah. I can't say no to her. So now I'm rock climbing and she's staring at me.

She starts calling you Michael or something. She was sort of having this thing with me and I had to do it. And I could tell I wasn't. It's a good sitcom. As good as her son. She was like, just climb up.

You're not act. You're good at this. Yeah. So she's ordering you around like a mom to a son. Yeah. Just climb up. Yeah. And just.

So you do what she said. And her son, I'm sure, was like, Bing, Bing. You're the worst fake son. Yeah, that was my, that was the week that Obama was, or not Obama, that Bin Laden was killed. Is that Obama? That was my Bin Laden. My mama's not like this. That's what you do.

My mom points like Obama. You know, not Obama. So then when is, how did you become a genius? Are they two different people? I don't know. Points like Obama? I meant to say bin Laden. That might be something racist in there, but like I kept saying Obama and Bin Laden.

But yeah, she just points like a terrorist is saying their blood will run in the streets. But mother's finger gets right in, you know, their face like that. Your mom's in your bit sometimes. Yeah, she's really good, actually. Do you tell her what to do or no? Yeah, I actually surprised her because once she knows she's acting, it's over. We have to... She'll come on stage?

No, when you film stuff at all. Oh, you do a video video? And I'll just... When she's doing dishes, I'll be like, hey, mom, let's... I'll just start doing something. That is... She has to improv it? That's Craig.

Yeah. Craig. Yeah, I do Craig to my mom. Which is hysterical. Craig's hysterical. Thank you. Yeah. All right, we'll talk about...

You know, let's... Go ahead. Oh, you think it's your S&L audition. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes. Well, we want to get to that. We're just creeping up to, like, how many years is a stand-up and then when do you try out for us now? Oh, yes. And the first time I did stand-up actually was in high school.

It was 20 minutes before my friends were like, you should do stand-up. And I was like, okay, because I just did what people told me. And I wrote a set in 20 minutes, and the set was 20 minutes. So I don't know what. That must have been very bad. First time usually crushes. What's that? First time usually crushes.

It did pretty good because I was doing teachers and stuff like that, but I got suspended. Halfway through it. Everything could go wrong. It's so funny, though. Yeah, but the, uh, halfway through, the host, this girl was like, um, you have to, um, you have to stop, uh, saying something about, oh, you can't say penis or Ms. O was going to suspend you, was the thing. And then they were all quiet, like what happened. And I was like, I'm not allowed to say penis anymore. And then I started going like, Mike, kill boss.

And I started doing other days. It was, then they took me off stage. Anyway. They took you away. Yeah, they took me away in the jacket. But I start, yeah. But I like when you bump with the microphone with your chin while you're talking and you hug it like this. He's hugging it.

He's hugging it. So when did you start crushing and get the notion? I want to, and I'm highly qualified to be on Saturday Night Live. I always wanted, like, like, watching you and so I, not that I felt like I'd be as good as you, I thought, like, I can do that kind of thing. That's like up in my wheelhouse. So I really want to do it, and I love the show. You actually almost stopped me from losing my virginity. It didn't happen, but you almost...

I was coming home from a party, and this woman who was... This girl, she's like 21, was in my Spanish class, and she's on a balcony. She goes, Kyle Dunning, get up here. She was hammered. And, like, we immediately had... She's decided we were having sex.

I remember what happened in between. But then I was like, but I almost didn't go up because I want to go back and see Dana Carvey because S&L was starting. And I almost, but I wish I had because I, I didn't think I got AIDS from this woman. I knew I got AIDS from this woman. It was back when, if you just had Unprotected Sex, you got AIDS.

Right. Right when it started, everyone thought. Yeah. It's everyone's going to get it. But you missed me on the show. I did, and I wish I hadn't. I got AIDS from watching Dana once. Yeah, yeah.

So either way, you can't get them. Fouchie got me, took care of me. We give you a shot. The boosters. So you do it accurately. I just punt sometimes. He does it quite. I just decide how I want him to sound and hope people.

He does quieter Fauci. A medina carri, he's more derivative. You had us crying, laughing, talking about Mickey Rooney. Yep. Mickey Rooney. I heard you do it before, but I know it's a true story. Work for work. You worked with him on a play?

No, a TV show, one of the boys in 1981. I was cast out of nowhere. I was just a young stand-up. Fred Silverman, the head of NBC. That's Mickey Rooney's grandson. Then I'm on a 747 with Nathan Lane. He was going. That's right.

He was your brother. And so we became friends. And then we met Mickey, who had a 38 revolver. And literally at least once an hour. I was the number one star in the world. You hear me? Bang, the world. Anyway.

He's not kissing you. He was like pulling something. Yeah, he would say things like he needed money and he would just dying laughing. Judy Garland never owned a car. It was non-separous. Why, Mickey? Because they pumped her so full of drugs

they killed her. And then he would just look off into space. Yeah. Yeah. I asked him for money. Joe Lewis, Joe Lewis. He'd be there, studding, yeah, stun ya, stunting. He's getting right up in my face.

He's about 4'10. He's going like this right to my face. Joe Lewis. He's slam, ma'am, Joe Lewis. This fire plug will take you out. He referred to himself as a fire pole. That's another podcast entirely. But when I first met you, it was kind of interesting.

I had dinner with you, because David's very social and I'm at homebody. And I didn't really know what you did. I just thought you were funny and a really nice guy. And then I went home and looked you up and went, my God, this is my, brother from another mother. I mean, it's an honor that you think that. Well, the evidence is on YouTube watching it. It's like extraordinary

assidy stuff. The Stallone, the way you do Stallone now, it's like a character as well. There's a sweetness to him, kind of. Yeah, it's different than he. He's actually seen it, which is funny. We've had Frank Stallone on the show. Oh, really? And it's really cool to, because some people like impressions, some people don't like.

Why did you find that Stallone, that particular You just started doing Yeah, just you know, like the punch is still on, you know? He's just really stupid. He's like, confident, you know? Yeah, confident, you know?

Confident stupid. But super sincere. Confident stupidity. Coffee stupidity, you know? I just did like, I don't do, he like makes little movies and the last one,

which got demonetized, everything gets demonetized that I put out, but he's like doing a documentary on 9-11, but it was like, the day we got 9-11. Yeah, that's it.

The first building got 9-11. What about this? Kyle and I joke about, like, if he goes on dates or, you know, we're obviously both older than our Twilight years. Mature. Mature. And when we're out, I remember I was with, uh, said Rick, our friend, all my friends are my age. So we were in, we were in Las Vegas and we sat at this booth and this girl came, she was our hostess. So they like to blab and then they, like, manager sends her, go talk to those guys.

So she just sits with us, but no one invites her. She just sits there. She's 21. She's like, hey guys. So you're in Vegas. Like, yeah, that's a safe bet. And then she doesn't have much to say. And so she goes, where are you staying?

We're like, oh, at the mirage. And she goes, oh, fine, that's the one that's got a big fountain. She doesn't know anything. And then my buddy goes, you know, I was there when they built the mirage. I was there opening night. She's like, huh? I go, Rick, quit advertising a fucking old. We are like, built them.

She doesn't even know what was ever built. She goes, what? And he goes, yeah. And I go, oh, yeah. And we were at, we were, she, he goes, remember the dunes before they blew it up? I go, Rick, it's getting worse. The monkeys were better than the bills. Yeah, he goes, ah, I go, we were at Joey Bishop's 40th at the dunes.

Were you there? No, I'm 21 years old and that was 200 years ago. And, and we just got to be careful because you've said it before you slip and say something. Like, I've got buddies are like, you know, you know, Do you use compression socks? And she's like, huh? Yeah. I'm like, why are you talking about the oldest things in the world?

I even feel old. I go, you don't wear that. And he goes, yeah. And my other friend's like, when I, if I have like soreness and she goes, I know, my arm hearing yesterday. And he's like, oh, do you think it's arthritis? I go, what? It's not arthritis.

She's 21. Quit saying the oldest sickeningest words that even I'm at your table going, beat it old man. Yeah, he's not good for you. No, it's all my friend. What's young schick, though? What would you say to? No, you're younger. No.

Like, I love, I love you. No, there's no conversation. It's just she was doing her job to say hi. But this happens a lot when fans or some, or just anyone comes up and says hi. And then we just catch ourselves having, it's just too old. You're right.

Just references. The old vibe. It is hard. My last date that I had, I don't go on many dates because of what happens on them. And she says to me, well, you're a little long in the two. And I don't think we were in talking about age or anything. And I thought we had a, yeah, and never heard from her again. Yes, that's how to start.

We were talking about that. Long of the tooth. Long of the tooth. Long of the tooth. That's, that makes her seem old. That's an old fashion. That is old. Maybe she was 62 with a nice lift.

Yeah. Yeah, my dating's not been. I went on a date where the girl was, she showed up different than what her picture was. Just said that, very different. Just say different. Yeah. And she gets in the car. and she gets nauseous

and every five minutes we're pulling over for her to drool out of the car and then she takes off her shoe and starts rubbing her bare foot like crossed over anyway, it's been going well so anyway, about SNL. I know a guy went on a Tinder date

with this woman and she'd never I guess she didn't have a lot of money but they took her to her sushi restaurant and she just kept saying, I want to stab it! I want to stab it! So she had a fork, she was just, Dabbing the sushi?

What do you mean? Just a little piece of sushi? Yeah. I want to stab it. I'll say one last story of when my waiter, who's German, I was, there was a picture of me kissing a girl in a pool that was secretly taken or whatever. But it was kind of all over the place because it just was a weird match of people, me and her. Actually, it was just weird because she was cute and I'm gross. That's really the headline.

And so my way to go. Not according to the daily mail. So it's definitely very weird. you know like I obviously I'm aware of it and it's weird and then about a week later the guy goes he knows me yeah how was your vacation huh I go okay and he goes yeah a little pool party huh huh yeah he goes yeah a little fun in the sun I go yeah I go yeah I saw pictures of you kissing a girl yeah I know I know what you're talking about he goes oh what why why do they make you so fat in that And I go, what do you mean?

He goes, you get out of the pool. It's like, I didn't know you were kind of fat, but why do you want that picture? I go, I don't want that. What are you talking about? I go, that's what a paparazzi is. They take 100 pictures of you and find the grossest one. And then they go, they got a jewelers loop. And they go, he looks fat and gross here.

We got a winner. Run with it. And then someone runs it to the press room. But he goes, no, I wouldn't pick that. He doesn't get it. Yeah. He goes, no, I wouldn't pick that one because, you know, you look kind of fat. You want to look good.

I go, why he doesn't know. Why aren't you, you don't understand what I'm saying? He goes, no. We need to get a lot of people out of your life. No, that guy, he's all right. Let's put on speedos. Everyone just makes, go to the beach. I'm an easy time.

Promenade around and then run to the web and see of Daily Mail. All right, SNL audition, that's all. SNL audition, okay. At this point, let's just say you're a seasoned stand-up, and you probably do pretty much any accent and at least 50. Have you done Amy Schumer's show yet at this point? You've done any of that stuff, right? No, I had done Sedrick, which was a sketch show, but I never worked on any, there was no reason to really work on any impressions or characters because I wasn't doing it on YouTube and there was no money in doing it.

Right. I was doing stand-up and doing stand-up. Yeah, you do just straight stand-up. Yeah, just doing straight stand-up. Extremely funny as well. Thank you. I always feel like square peg into doing stand-up. Like I'm trying to do scenes and stand-up.

That was the same with me. Yeah. I was always, I didn't realize that until later. The wonder it was difficult in a honky talk bar. Show us your dick, you know. I am a French waiter. Now I'm trying to fall, you know. So, yeah.

So what I did was, I just made a random tape of impressions and sent it in, not even thinking. Because nothing was going on and I was broke. And somehow they were like, flew me out and decided that I would audition. And it felt like way too big suddenly. It was like the next day I was flying out and I'm trying to write the thing and I'm really, really nervous and I'm in a hotel for two days

just running it and you got to like here's my six minutes or whatever trying to get it correctly on time which is the wrong you know, I know I'm in the wrong mind frame and I get there and it was 30 of us and it was Nick 30. Yes, 30 people. Nick Kroll was there

and he was talking about that and he was with John Mullaney who looked really young. I was like, hey, How old? Do I know you? He's like, No, I'm five.

I'm this many. So I was like, this guy's not going to make it. I've never heard of John Mullinney. Let me absorb that. I'm five. He made jokes about how young. He does. And he looked real, really young.

Crazy for the high school. So he's auditioning too. He's auditioning. And it's the same night or day as Nick Kroll. Nick Kroll. Okay. 30 people. 30 people.

That's a death march. And I'm just like white knuckling and I'm just like please not first. I just want to go first. Yeah. You know, let someone else figure this out.

No. Was this in 8-H? I think people could actually I know we were in the Conan's show because they were doing the Olympics. Yeah, 6-4, Rockford Center. Yeah, yeah. But they're like, first up is Kyle Dunnigan.

Oh. And I was like. Out of 30? Yeah, I know. That's, what are the odds of that? 3% odds, 3.3% odds. So I went into the, you can do this. Hey, you got this, buddy.

Right. But I'm having trouble. He didn't have this. Spoiler. So they're micing me up, which is nerve-wracking it himself when someone's making you. And the camera guy is like, I'm going to count you in 3-2-1. You're writing stuff.

I'm getting nervous. This is so well-to-old. Crew guys have too much power to ruin out. Okay, kid. Is that good for you? And they're not nervous at all. Where you want your radio pack? You want it right in your pocket?

It's all these questions you don't want to think about. Yeah. So he goes, I'm going to count you right in your stuff. Three, two, one. You go right into your stuff. So I said to me my stuff. So I had that locked in my head. So I walk out, the camera's in front of me, and Lauren and everybody are to the left.

And I'm just staring at the camera. Oh, no. Any applause at all? No, just silence. Nothing's happening. You just walk out. Nothing's happening. And then Lauren goes, hello?

Like, hello? Say hello to us. We're over here. And I go, oh, hello, hi, hi. And I turned back to the camera and more dead silence. And the guy's not counting me in, you know? And then Lauren says something. I'm already on thin ice, and that's just crushed me through the ice into the water.

He goes, are you okay? Whoa. And then I start trying to tell him the guy. I go, well, he said, three, two. He knows he's about get tattled on, so he counts me in, and the red light goes on. And I'm just destroyed I can't get to

any facility or impression my brain's like look all hands on deck to make this guy pass out drop the bill bar we're not doing any of that we're just gonna breathe you know Caitlin or you know

she wasn't alive she was alive anyway that made no sense so I can't even they brought a piano out for me I can't play the piano like I'm just plonking on it

with you. And every impression sounds the same. I'm like, this is Chris Hansen. I'm Chris Hansen. This is blah, blah. I'm sort of outside myself. And then I walk out like I just got beat up. And then the producers go to everybody else. Guys, when you go out there, say hi to Lorne. Okay. Oh. And so everyone after me was like, hi. Yeah. Anyway. And be fine. It's fine. How many were out there? There's Lauren. There's like 10 people. There's probably 10 people. And they were sort of to your left and the camera was center. Yeah, I didn't know where to look. Yeah, I didn't know what it was good to them or the camera, but the camera guy, it seemed like that was the thing to do.

Yeah. What was your Billmore there? Okay, people. Do you think you're one of those, people? Well, let's hear Billmore. Yeah, keep going. No one, does anyone else do him? I don't think.

To me, your hook was the okay. Okay, people. Yeah. Winy, whiny, whiny, you think you're this and that. Do you really think you don't? you don't, you're wrong. Church lady, do you think there's a magic man in the sky? There's not.

Okay. Okay. It's sustaining the okay. Yeah. Eve was a pig. She was made out of ribs. Okay. Yeah, because he admonishes his audience so directly.

You think this and you think that. Everything sounds sarcastic. You think you're good. I bet even if he was trying to be sincere. There we go. Yeah, I'm sort of like that where people think I'm not sincere. I'm like that. Him ordering frozen yogurt?

I'll have the rum raisin. Because it's delicious. Okay. I'll have the gogert. What impressions did you do on S&L audition? The attempted. I did Chris Hansen was big at the time. How does he go? Can you do him now?

You're not nervous now. Yeah, he was the guy from To Catch a Predator. Oh, yeah. He's trying to have sacks with old girls. His screen name was, yep, you guessed it, Boner 95. He was trying to have sacks. He does like nine notes and the one word sacks. He goes, sah.

Yeah, he's so lascivious. He's got a new show on it. I was watching. It's just everything is so cryptic. And it's come out he's kind of a criminal, sort of, which is interesting. He's quite thick, just quietly. Yeah. And what was your one that never failed that you couldn't get to that day with Lauren watching?

None of them sounded like any of them. Oh, you really couldn't get in the voice from nerves. Yeah, I was so. shell-shocked. It's almost like if you're afraid of bees, there's bees around you. I couldn't even begin to get to what I, my voice.

It's really so inefficient of this thing. Because I, Steve Corral, when he auditioned for the show I did in 96. Yeah. Yeah, that was great. He came in and he was really nervous. Yeah. You know, and he wasn't really doing well.

But I was such a horrible auditioner that later I looked at his tape. And of course, Louis and Smigel loved him too, but it was like, oh, no, he was just nervous. It didn't mean a thing to me. It would be honest. It's better if you put it on tape and send it in because then you just do it in your own time, your own speed.

You get it the best it is. I know. I think so. And I hear that they do try to rattle you. I know Nick was saying that they, so maybe they do, but they, Lauren, if you're listening, you don't have to. Everyone's really nervous. You're already really nervous.

And I get it's a live show, you better be able to handle it. And there's an argument for that. Like, I wasn't ready to do that show. You know, it's funny when I don't remember this, but Louis C.K., when he, auditioned, I think the auditioned where we did a maybe catch rising star, one of those places, stand-up comedy club, where me and Robbie Schneider did. And when I was in the other side of it, it was like, oh, there's auditions tonight if anybody wants to go, like Marcy would say, you guys.

And so Downey, so a bunch of us went down because I was still a writer also and performer. I had no pull, but I don't know if it was Lorne, but it was maybe that first one is everybody else. Maybe it's Lauren, but you know, it's still scary. Smigel, Downey, Frank. all of us. And then a bunch of scattered writers and producers. And then Louis said he was going on and we were walking in when they introduced him.

And he said, I shushed everyone to be quiet so he could start. I don't remember that. But it sounds about right that you would go, I just did this two years ago. And I know how sick he is backstage going, oh, no, I got to go on. And then they're like, you're up there. They're like, well, they're not here yet. And then they go, ladies and gentlemen, and they go, oh, they're coming in. And you're like, wait, that's exactly like a horrible situation.

What do you do? Do you not start your best jokes at the top? No one's listening. Yeah. Everyone's like, I'll get a vodka soda. Do you guys have a potato skins? You know, you're like, no, no, just listen right now. It's the only part you need to hear.

And then we can do whatever. At one point, Lauren did stop me. I got to be seen in a comedy club, but I also did the thing you did with eight people there. Is that all you've got or is this, or are you going to, is that pretty much? What he said? Yeah. But I thought later it was to see if I would blink, you know. But I had a rough childhood.

I know yours was a peaches and cream. It really was. So I had a lot of anger in me that I would translate into competitiveness. Like sometimes, like, I had a little bit of, like, okay. I saw that audition that you're talking about. It's online somewhere, and you were really funny. I remember that, and I remember thinking, wow, that's really tough. You were like, I remember there was like a microphone.

Like, oh, penis, oh, you started doing. Rob Williams. Oh, look, penis. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that was an easy one to do. I felt like I kind of bombed. I felt very nervous. But, you know, part of stand-up and show business is hiding nerves, right?

Yeah. Just that's it. Well, I think his argument is, well, when it's live to the world, we don't need you freezing up. I think that's a legit thing for him to do. It's sort of true. I just think that if the government mandated that you would do Saturday Night Live, you would have flourish because you, you, you'd, get desensitized. It just takes time.

Yeah, there's also once you have a job, some people, and I think I'm like, the ones I have a job, I relax. It's more like they're trying to get the job.

Yeah, because it's just, there's Lauren, this is thing, and I came on, there was just the original cast, and then there's a Billy Crystal Eddie Murphy years.

So there was, the legacy was only 10 years old. So the best people coming in now, it's like 45 years of comedians and pictures. Yeah, here's what you got to compete with. Yeah.

You know? I think you saved the show because, I love you, Kyle. I love you. No, I mean, I really, if you think about that show was dead. I mean, no, you elevated it. You saved it again.

You're the funniest guy. I, you kind of ruined it on the air? It's in the baton, but I was like, here, Adam, here, Chris, you, David. I can't even argue that it was so good on there. I want to. Also, that time, I don't remember anyone talking about it. I mean, Robert Downey Jr. was in the cast. In 85.

Yeah. Did you overlap with him? No, I was right after that. year where Madonna did the cold opening my first show saying that last year was just a dream it never happened. Oh, is that what she did? Yeah. Because it was like going to Iron Man for your laughs. He's great, but I was nervous as hell and I had shitty shows and

you know it was just you do get used to it but it there is an aggression to it. It's a rock and roll show. It's like aggressive. It was scary being an extra and they're like counting down and all the extras get nervous. I thought I'd really made it or something and they sent all the extras into the Donahue room and they're like, you stay in here. You don't look at the casts in the eye.

We're going to come in here every 20 minutes and beat you with a stick. And you could feel like, oh, we're. I'm when Kyle came right up to me and he said, hey, you accidentally switched me in the booth during Gap Girls. And can you just go ahead and fix that? Because it's harder for me to be on camera. Actually, you're in one of my favorite Gap Girls ever, sketches I ever did. I know.

It's funny. I have a memory of being there. It's unreal. And that's pretty interesting. So you were there as David's friend? You were friends at that point? I didn't know. Or didn't know him?

I was in the booth with him. Yeah. No, you were in the booth, not with us, but you were in the booth right on camera. I was with your friend. Oh, with my buddy. Yeah. Yeah, we just flip-flop sides to the back of my head. I'm sure he iced you once he was on cameras.

He said once Farley sat down, though, his acting crew was 100% over. Because it was funny, funny. And then Farley shifted or something and he just, it was like an eclipse. Yeah. It was over. Arnold said that about Danny DeVito You never get Danny Never have him sit down

Because he loses the energy You got to keep Danny on his feet You know you got to pump him up Yeah Oh you must do Arnold of course Who can't you do? Who do you want to do? Who are your favorites

I can't do you guys Did you do anything on Amy Schumer? I have a blank voice Hi I'm Dana Kirk Hervey He has a voice He has kind of a cool He's like a throwaway thing That I start to do

I don't think about it. Doing him. Throw away a thing. Can you get to his timber though? Because he has kind of a, this is David Spade, everybody. He has kind of a timber that's a lower register. It's more of a laziness. It's more of a laziness.

Because my jaw always hurts my neck so I don't move. Does that catch you down? Hey ladies, what's up, girls? No, it's just sexy. There's only one word to describe it. When you're on Amy Schumer, you were a writer and did you, we'll get you out of here soon. Yeah, what's Amy Schumer? Was it fun to be a writer on that?

was it a good, you wrote some good sketches, it was pretty much a heyday for her show, right? It was a big, big show. Big show. Yeah, it was a really good schedule, too, because we'd come in and have, like, really basic pitches. Like, this is a guy who owns a hamburger shop,

but he's afraid of hamburgers or whatever. That'd be your whole pitch. You'd bring him five. And then they go, okay, right, scared hamburger guy and this other sketch, and we'd go home for three days, and we'd send it in on Thursday. Oh, really?

And then on Friday, we'd get notes, and then we'd fixed it. So it's like we lived lives. Oh, you didn't just sit there Because then we had So, I think we wrote Sweat and Fear like we did So you got trained to be a sketchwriter on that show

They hired you from your stand-up Or how did you just networked in? Yeah, she just hired me from stand-up So there was no crazy audition With Amy there going on Did you worm your way on? You don't want to audition me? I don't have heard what happens

Yes What? What are you talking about? I get a little nervous We want to, we never trend No, but she's funny, man We would love be on the show, Amy. Yeah, did you get on the show?

Did you do anything on the show? Yeah, originally it was, yeah, I was, yeah, I was on a few things. Okay, could you have a softer answer? And then, what about stuff? He was, I was on the show. Who'd be right back? What was the highlight so far then? When did you just fucking destroy at a club or a gig that you went, okay?

Because I've seen some, I think you're a Toronto Comedy Festival, or Montreal. And you're destroying, just stand-up. You saw me there? No, I saw it on YouTube. Oh, oh. I mean, it was kind of destruction. I remember it.

Thanks. Yeah, stand-up, I was- Have you ever destroyed? Are you not remembering this? Dana said I just destroyed. I think he must have destroyed because I look at the talent and then I think of the number of times

on stage. I mean, what are you doing this? He's got her. You killed a couple years ago somewhere. I'm not going to follow you. If we go out in a little fun night, David likes to hit the clubs. Yeah, hit it.

I know. And that was Kyle Dunnigan. And now Dano Forfo, the living museum piece. That's what I'm doing. He's still alive. Let's bring him out. No, you do. The longer you stay around, you've become a museum piece.

It's good to know just in case.

Anyone can call or text for free confidential support from a train responder anytime. 988 suicide crisis helpline is funded by the government in Canada I followed Seinfeld did I get a picture too Seinfeld goes I'm gonna go do some new stuff like all right and I'm like oh this is great news maybe he'll bomb you know you're gonna follow Jerry Seinfeld it was just at the improv he just came up and he goes I'm gonna do a set you want to go on and you want you go on you go on you go why you go and you can get out of here and we shot the shit for a little bit he was going to try some stuff and then when I

followed him I go um I think that stuff's working I don't know, I think it's done. He fixed it. It's not really amateur hour. No one works harder than him. Or Louis as well, but just as far as just writing. Oh, I know. And right.

Of course. Yeah. I did the comedy seller and it was Jerry Seinfeld went up, then Robin Williams, and then Chris Rock, and then I was next. This is. Well, that would be a tough thought. After Robin died before? When was this? It was just after he died.

That's a tough spot. It was a tough spot Oh look Oh look at this one Oh The Leprican man All right My last story

We represent The Lollipop Gew No Robin was Oh it was a fly I was doing The improv And they said You know I hosted it a lot

When I was in the beginning Before SNL and all that Just to get on stay I mean of course They go Bud would say Oh David What are you

Do you want to stay out of the halls Don't stand up the halls and he goes do you want to host one night it's not about the money it's the honor and i was like right do i get a pineapple chicken dinner at least because i'd have to eat there that no money yeah so i was now and then they'd have a showcase night so they had me do seven minutes for star search or you know whoever and i'm standing there waiting and uh it's a good crowd it's packed and i'm next and the guy's finishing up he got the light and then behind me i hear her touch shoulder david's Okay? And I go, oh, hey, Robin.

I don't know Robin really well at all. I met him through Bobcat. And I go, oh, hey. And then it hit me, you're not fucking going to go, all right. You know, and he goes, I'm just going to jump on real quick. I go, of course. And then he went on and did 45. And he annihilated, raped and pillaged. And then while I was like a salmon, because he walked off and the whole crowd left with him and I was trying to get to the stage. To follow him into the street. Yeah. Like the pipe piper? Yeah. I was like, excuse me, pardon me, like Bugs Bunny. And I finally get the stage.

There's about 18 people out of the whole club. And all the people went to see me left. They're like, ah, it's not going to get any better than that. I had one run in with Bud where I was the comic strip in New York and I was eating Chinese food. And he goes, hey, can I have a little bit of that? And I go, no. And he goes, I don't know who you are, but you'll never work in L.A. And who did that?

I thought he was joking. I was joking. I still don't know this day. Who was talking to your street? Bud Friedman. He runs all the improv. Yeah. He's a comic strip.

Yeah, I thought we were kind of joking. I did him on S&L. Didn't do very well. Take it outside. Take it outside. And the monocle, it kind of bomb it. Just for the fans listening, Robin Williams, I got to know him really well

the last five, ten years of his life because he moved out to Marin where I was raising my kids. Played a little local theater. Yeah, this shyest, sweetest, the dichotomy between the powerhouse on stage and to me it's like Elvis charisma because he was so introverts, so shy, and so deferential,

called everyone boss. Okay, boss. All right, boss. And then he would go on stage, and he had such likeability. And to me, he was like a Shakespearean actor coming on stage as if he had nothing. So he created this whole, because he was always saying, oh, did I take anything from you? He was always making amends. I said, no, I tried to be you.

I stole your whole act, you know. Yeah. And he walks on like he's got nothing. And then he's even the improv, it's a roll of X of like, if I think of this, I do have a joke about that. Yeah, yeah, right. If you say this. And his commitment, you know, he'd pick up a little plastic thing. Oh, flying so sorry.

There was just one time. I think it was Albert Brooks. It says that Robin, it's okay. Because when Robin would get on, he couldn't stop himself. Yeah, yeah. Anyway. All right. Well, enough about Kyle.
