Starting point is 00:06:34 want to congratulate my very, very good friend Gilbert Gottfried and Frank Sandberg. Congratulations Gilbert Gottfried and Frank Sandberg. Congratulations on your very successful 300th podcast. It's a podcast, just a podcast. Okay, fine. Podcast of the great big colossal show. Very, very successful, I guess, for a podcast.

Starting point is 00:07:36 I think it's available Saturday through Wednesday, nine o'clock. Hey, how you doing? I was recently asked to make a short video to congratulate my old friend Gilbert Gottfried on his 300th podcast. That's a hard pass. I'm not going to do that. I'm just way too busy.
Starting point is 00:07:56 I'm a busy guy. Do people think that I spend all day long congratulating other people on their podcasts? I know. I don't do that. That's not what I do. What kind of of request is that? What are people thinking? Do they think I'm on cameo or something? I'm not on cameo. I don't have a side hustle. I don't do that. I'll tell you. Okay, here's a good compromise. I will acknowledge the fact that Gilbert has had 300 podcast episodes, but I'm not gonna
Starting point is 00:08:25 say how I feel about that one way or the other because I'm just too busy to do that. So just... So 300, 300 podcasts. Gilbert and Frank and Dara, congratulations and love to all of you. In the spirit of your wonderful podcast, I realized that I have to do things backwards. You know, if you ask Gilbert not to mention something, he leads his show with it.
Starting point is 00:09:06 So I thought, well, the only thing I can do that is really gonna work as well as that. I thought, don't look your best when you do this. Just climb out of bed, look like you've been recently electrocuted and tell them that you love them. So I just did. Hey there, Gilbert and Frank, you know, I wish,
Starting point is 00:09:28 I really wish I could be there tonight. I lowered my rate, but the guys wouldn't pay my fee, so I'm just not gonna be able to make it. Well, what are you gonna do? But I'm sure it's gonna be a great time, and I really do think it's tremendous what you've done. 300 podcasts, who knew?
Starting point is 00:09:48 It's beyond belief, it's extraordinary. It's like some sort of a home run record if you guys were athletes, but ha ha, that's not happening. And let me wish a happy birthday to Dara, who for some reason has married you Gilbert. I don't know what drugs you gave her, but it's spectacular. Happy 35th birthday, Dara, and Gilbert, happy 103rd to you. My best to everybody there.
Starting point is 00:10:12 Enjoy, have a great night. 300, what an accomplishment. I mean, that is a lot of words, but then Gilbert Gottfried is filled with a lot of words and unbelievable humor. I am sorry that I'm not there to hug you in person. Congratulations. 300 more, please, and give my best to your family.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Bye. La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la I want to congratulate you and Frank on your 300th podcast. Keep doing what you're doing. I don't know what the hell you're doing,
Starting point is 00:11:11 but you're a hit. You're a big hit. I love doing your show. I got so many calls from friends saying, Neil Sedak, you're funny. You're funny.

Wow. 300 shows. First of all, Al Pacino? Dara! You have a reaction to that? I wanted De Niro, so I think she fucked up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:16 I guess we can book, maybe we can book Al Pacino now. What Beverly said brought tears to my eyes. If he gets old enough that he doesn't know what show he's doing. Dara kept that a surprise from us. I don't know how she did it. I didn't think some of those people were still speaking to us. Yeah, and that just shows the only people alive from the podcast. Yeah.

A lot of people jumped on board this train after we started and we have to thank them because I don't think we're going to get to them at the end and I'll do it quickly if you'll indulge me because many of them are here.

We're gonna bring up our first beloved podcast guest, Richard Gilbert has an intro here. Oh. You wanna put your glasses on? Sometimes during, to show the difference in preparation, sometimes in the middle of an introduction, Frank will slip in the name of the guest.
Starting point is 00:23:47 That's happened a couple of times. With Greg Evigan specifically, right? Because you kept calling Greg Evigan Glenn during the show. So I wrote a card that said Greg in big letters. It was when the days were at Gilbert's kitchen table. And I slid it across the table. And he outed me. Instead of being surreptitious about it, he said, oh, yeah, Frank just told me your name.
Starting point is 00:24:14 You know this guy? Yeah. The guy that's standing in the wings. When I say this, should I start it out with, hi, I'm Gilbert Gottfried. And this is Gilbert. We didn't even introduce the show. No.
Starting point is 00:24:22 You want to do an introduction? It's really too late for that. Yeah anyway, they take Gilbert and Frank's amazing colossal anniversary show very good He got it in one take Our first guest tonight is a regular on this podcast, and he's also a loyal listener who even helps us book the show.
Starting point is 00:24:51 You know him from Mad About You, Spin City, Gotham, Argo, Pixar's Inside Out, and hundreds of other film and TV projects. The only- I've got so much fucking more than what you have on that card. What the fuck is this? We try to shorten them this time.
Starting point is 00:25:15 Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Like the shy and retiring Richard Kine. the shy and retiring Richard Kine. Why do I get a short introduction? Why what? What are you trying to change things after 300 episodes?
Starting point is 00:25:38 What do you mean? Oh, we didn't do the introduction. Give me two and a half minutes. I was overwhelmed. Oh my God. I was emotionally overwhelmed by the video. Actually, the last time I was here, I stopped the introduction. Has anybody ever been so much lower than you? It's awkward. It's a little awkward. We're putting them in a hole. First of all, when you asked me to do this, and then you go, oh, it's this Wednesday night,
Starting point is 00:26:05 yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, and then this, this is unbelievable. What are you gonna do with three or 400? Can't stop it. Oh my God, this is unbelievable, this is unbelievable. However, I want to, I have, you know, I was once told, always prepare panel. Think that you are going to come with something.
Starting point is 00:26:22 I have nothing. But I did wear brown shoes. Oh, in honor of George Goebel. Thank you, I knew you would know it. Does everybody know it? Because he said we're gonna do this Carson style. And it's the best line, even Ed Ames with the tomahawk. Tomahawk, this is better.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Does everybody know the quote? Yes. Okay, because I'm gonna say it, because at least I'll be funny with one thing. George Goebel was on the panel with Bob Hope, Sammy Davis Jr., and Dean Martin. I was on The Tonight Show, and Dean Martin kept flicking cigarettes
Starting point is 00:27:00 onto George Goebel, and George Goebel said, "'Do you ever feel like the world is a tuxedo and you're a pair of brown shoes? That's it. And that is simply the finest line of all time. It's great. How many people actually remember George Goebel? Lonesome George.
Starting point is 00:27:18 And Alice. And his wife Alice. Spooky old Alice. Sure. What kind of crowd, Rich? All right. What do you want to talk about? I got nothing. I'm not kidding.
Starting point is 00:27:28 Okay, I will tell you this. The last time I was here, do you know what was on this stage? Karaoke strippers. Women who shouldn't be on the beach in a bathing suit. We're up here singing and stripping. Yeah. So what's going through my mind right now? I got something for you. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:27:54 You once said, you can't book me. Don't book me. Don't try to schedule me. If somebody cancels, I'll show up. That's what I am. I'll be your show's Tony Randall. I'll be Tony Randall, yes. That is, that's what I wanted to be and that is how boring my life is.
Starting point is 00:28:09 I'm available. Today, February 26th is the 100th birthday of Tony Randall. And he's expecting his fourth child. Wow, and you didn't even say, I didn't even know that line was going to come. Lennon Rosenberg. Okay, wow. Wow, that's crazy. Did you hear your Paul Reiser, your tribute on the Paul Reiser show?
Starting point is 00:28:35 Yeah, so let me tell you something. So Paul Reiser is a guest on the show and he's going, well, you know our good pal Rich Kind. Oh yeah, he's great, great. And if you listen to it, three times he's going, yeah but our good friend, and then of course he's gotta sing my praise me and everything. I was so embarrassed listening to you.
Starting point is 00:28:56 I will tell you the funniest thing. This is your podcast and this is the sheep wrangler for him. But the episode you did with Artie Lang was the funniest episode. I had to pull over when he was doing, you remember Coppola's quote about what is it gonna be? The Godfather meets Abba, the Castellan meet the Godfather,
Starting point is 00:29:21 and he's going, you're telling me that Pansini killed Clemenza. Like that, and I pulled over to the road, and he's trying to have a show. And he was the Margaret Dumont of this show. Now, he can always do it, but on that show, I honestly, and you know I love you, and I know how great you are handling Problem Job Four.
Starting point is 00:29:48 But. You're very sweet. But, on that show, you were horrific. Thank you. You were, it's like these geniuses, and you're going, yeah but don't you like it when somebody said blah blah blah, and they're just going off.
Starting point is 00:30:02 I don't know, I don't know. After a while you have to stop trying. It's like it was. It's like when... That's always a scary thing, when me and Artie Lang get together. I know. There's never stuff that they can use
Starting point is 00:30:15 to play for the public. And he's always hilarious, and he's just like poking you. Come on, be funnier than me. And then you live up to it. And you just become more, more bad taste than he can be. And it's like he's gone, come on, come on, do it. Come on, come on, do it.
Starting point is 00:30:32 So I loved it. I just loved it. The average episode has about four or five edits. I've said this recently. The Artie Lang, recent Artie Lang episode had 39 edits. What does that tell you? It tells you that you can get a lot of money for the unedited version. Richard said backstage I don't care what you
Starting point is 00:30:50 have to do I want to hear those. I want those edits. Frank is there so I don't destroy my career on each episode. It's a pact, it's a pact Aaron I made a long time ago. You want to tell the story, you want to repeat the story, we might as well go into the gutter real quick. Well I'll tell you, can I tell the story about because you had him as your first guest. If you remember, does anybody remember the, not Larry Storch, the Professor Irwin Corey. Yeah we just mentioned him, yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:20 Yeah, do you remember the Irwin Corey story? Because it's one of my favorite stories is soupy sales had died and Soupy sales had a great influence on me in my childhood I'm who I am because of soupy sales and he passed away. I had never met him So I go to the Campbell funeral. I think it's a Campbell funeral on 77th or 76 and And Amsterdam and I'm there and you there and it's soupy sales. And about 15 minutes in, Irwin Corey comes walking down the aisle
Starting point is 00:31:53 in the Colombo jacket with the baseball cap, the New York cap, and he's half shaven. And hey, how are you, how are you, how are you, how are you, how are you, how are you, and Freddie Roman is doing his stuff up front. Freddie Roman. And he's going, hey, how are you, how are you, hey, how are you, how are you. And are you, how are you, how are you,
Starting point is 00:32:05 how are you, how are you. And you'll know how long ago this was, because it was a real red. I mean, he was one of the Upper West Side Reds. And he pulls, sits down, and Freddie Roman goes, we have a special guest here tonight. He knew Suppy well. I'm going to bring him up now. Professor Erwin Corey. And in a chapel, the place goes nuts. And he gets up here, and let's say
Starting point is 00:32:29 Soupy Sales' wife was Stephanie. He goes, Soupy Sales would be alive today, and Stephanie, you know this. Soupy Sales would be alive today if we had free medical coverage for every person. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Starting point is 00:32:53 And that was just the, everybody, Freddie Roman being not as funny as Erwin Corey, that it's the funeral, that it's Erwin Corey. And I did a play on Broadway as Erwin Corey, that it's the funeral, that it's Erwin Corey. And I did a play on Broadway with Erwin Corey, who kept telling me that his daughter was killed out on Long Island by her husband. And he was nuts.
Starting point is 00:33:13 That's something Gilbert would usually add to an episode. Just stop it in its tracks. Anyway, that's my Erwin Corey. It didn't work out with Erwin. Do you wanna tell either the Island of Dr. Moreau story or do you want to tell the Forrest Tucker golf story? Two greatest hits from your first episode. Was it really? That's I told that to Ver?
Starting point is 00:33:35 Yeah. Well, what do I mean? Forrest Tucker. OK, take it easy, cock. All you want is cock. It's all you want on this show, huh? That's all you tune in cock. It's all you want on this show, huh? That's all you're tuned in for. All right. Along with Van Johnson and Walter Pidgeon, Forrest Tucker was well known to be well hung.
Starting point is 00:33:56 Sergeant O'Rourke on F-Troop, just to refresh everybody. Really? You have to say that? Yes. For some of the people in the house. I guess so. They're gonna hate my song. Those people are gonna hate my song. You let down Uncle Milti. That's cliched.
Starting point is 00:34:13 That's a cliché. Wait, somebody else I was talking to, or maybe it was on your show. It's somebody I was talking to, new Milton Berle. Okay, anyway, so, Forrest Tucker, one of the caddies at Lakeside used to be friends with Forrest Tucker's kid. And he remembers being over at their house, Forrest Tucker's lying on the chaise lounge in shorts reading the paper. So he's got a paper. Ah! Ah! Ah! And this caddy's mother comes to pick him up and shorts reading the paper. So he's got a paper.
Starting point is 00:34:49 And this caddy's mother comes to pick him up, Forrest Tucker being a gentleman, stands up and he's got a paper in his hand. But he knows that below his shorts is this much cock. Easily hidden by the LA Times. Easily hidden by the LA Times. Easily. And he takes the paper and throws it on the Chase Lounge, says, nice to see you. And I think that's fantastic. And then the other one is the golf story where the big gamblers at Lakeside, and he had
Starting point is 00:35:22 a bet and he was gambling and he was within the putter length, you know, called the handle of the club, the shaft length of the club, which I guess is pretty obvious. And he's got a gimme putt and somebody tells him, you gotta make it. And he goes, are you kidding? You're gonna make me make this putt? The guy goes, yeah. There was money on the line. He goes, I can make this thing with my cock. And he took out his cock and made the putt. Forest Tucker, ladies and gentlemen. Forest Tucker. May he rest in peace.
Starting point is 00:35:56 That story sums up this podcast. That's why I had to bring it back. No, no, no. What it was, why did we do the one with Rupert Holmes when Who's He What's came out with Brando and Richard Pryor? Oh, Drew Friedman, yeah, Drew Friedman. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Quincy Jones. Quincy Jones came out with the story. That sums up your podcast.
Starting point is 00:36:13 Because that's many, many people who have changed the world of entertainment. Yes. And fucking. We understand you've prepared a musical number, Richard. So in other words, I'm through. I did. I did.
Starting point is 00:36:31 Now, and I want to tell you, I was going to do a song, actually it was a medley of two songs by, who is the guest who you really, really, really want the most on this show? Burt Bacharach. One of them. Really? Mel Brooks. Mel Brooks. Mel Brooks.
Starting point is 00:36:50 So I figured I would sing a song by Mel Brooks just to rub it in your faces. Okay. But I didn't. It was called Hope for the Best, Expect the Worst. But I didn't. Because last night, and Seth Saltzman, who was brilliant and behind you, truly truly brilliant and deserves the applause that you're about to start and yet, oh his sister starts it but he really is brilliant. I sent him this music I said I've completely forgot about this and then
Starting point is 00:37:16 I find out that half of you are fans of the show so you'll love it and half of you get out your phones and your pencils and a piece of paper and write down all the things you're not going to understand. Okay? So, yeah, let's put it there so that my ass can be right in front of Frank's face. Okay? I don't mind.
Starting point is 00:37:41 Alrighty. Hold on. Is that good, you think? Okay, I'll put this here. Hold on. Let me see if this is in order. Richard changed the song at 11 o'clock last night. I did. Called Seth. Okay, and this is a show that I did, and yet of course, did I memorize it for this show? Because I've done it like three or four, five, six years ago.
Starting point is 00:38:09 Not a prayer. I have too much respect for you people to have worked on this. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Hello.
Starting point is 00:39:08 Hello? Yes, this is the fantasy of the famous dramatic actor, Mr. Gilbert Godfrey. No, no. Santo Padre.

Starting point is 00:39:32 What can I help you with? No, I'm sorry. Mr. Godfrey cannot come to the phone right now. Pardon? What? Of course I can tell you why not. He's screwing the Lord Estelrio. That's why he cannot speak to you. He's screwing Dolores del Rio and may not be disturbed till he's through. No he can't call you back at 5 30. At 5 30 he hops Alice Fay. Then Jean Harlow at seven, Maywest at eleven, and somewhere between them, Fay Wray. No, tomorrow, I fear, is no better Loy, Irene Dunn, Half an hour for dinner, and then
Starting point is 00:40:49 He's booked solid to midnight, at which time It's the Lordess Del Rio again. Yes, I could set you up an appointment, but the waiting list's endless, I fear. Ruby Keeler's been waiting six months now, Betty Davis for over a year. Now next Friday is out of the question. Cancellations are simply unknown. There's Miss Dietrich and then it is time for Miss Bennet. No constants. On Tuesdays it's June. No, next Wednesday you haven't a hope miss. He stops Sylvia Sydney at four. Then may Murray make clock. And then after it's dark with Lamor.

If you promise you won't take too long, You'll go right after Madeleine Carroll, And just before Adam Maywalk. Oh no, wait! That's not any good either! I've forgotten I've penciled in dates.
Starting point is 00:42:50 They're shown Croppered, and then he must meet Sonia Henny. They're going to try it on skates. Please, please, it's no use your weeping, Miss Garbo. And it's no use your taking that tone. You can rave, you can rant. Mr. Godfrey just can't, simply can't, come and talk on the phone. He's screwing Dolores del Rio and he wants to be, well, you know, alone. On! Can I do it again? Yes! Just give me one more, okay? So I said, you know what, I'd love to stay, I have to go. No. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha He wrote the music and the lyrics. Let me tell you the story. It's from a show called Enter Laughing.
Starting point is 00:44:46 Okay. Carl Reiner wrote a book called Enter Laughing. The lead character was not Carl Reiner. He named it David Kolowicz because his mother was unable to read and he didn't want to fictionalize her. Or he didn't want to do it in realistically because she couldn't read so he changed the name. He wrote the book, pretty good book. He's working on a show of shows. Joe Stein says to him, this would make a great play. Carl Reiner says you're out of your mind. Joe Stein says I'll bet you 100 bucks
Starting point is 00:45:18 and he wrote the play. Enter laughing. You know who starred in it? Very good. Alan Arkin. Very good. Alan Arkin's first hit. Alan Arkin got it. Did not do the movie, by the way. Who did the movie?
Starting point is 00:45:30 Renny Santoni. There you go. Renny Santoni. I knew somebody in this order. Okay, anyway, he does the play. They make the movie. And then Stan Daniels wants to do the musical. I'm sorry. They want to do a musical of it.
Starting point is 00:45:47 They want Frank Lesser to write the music and lyrics. Frank Lesser says, I can't do it. I know a great kid he was mentoring. It was Stan Daniels who always wanted to do a musical. He writes it. It's a fantastic, it's truly fantastic. However, it's about a 19 year old kid who's gonna lose his virginity.
Starting point is 00:46:08 They hired the big musical star of the moment, Bobby Morris, who had just done How to Succeed. He's 30 years old and it became sort of creepy that he did it. It was called Goodbye 129th Street or Goodbye 147th, whatever it is. It closed after 10 performances. Stan Daniels never wrote another musical.

We had a blast So I knew how long he was gonna take up here She warned me I ordered food I went to the bathroom I talked to my son Joey who's here with his improv guys Hey, Joey Joey, Joey Lieberman. There he is my kid Yeah, so and I know Richard but I'll tell you something about Richard. He is the world's greatest charades player,
Starting point is 00:49:27 because my family is vicious when we play charades. We even put someone in the hospital. This, we did, no. Christmas Day, I'm not kidding you, Christmas Day we ended up in the emergency room, because it was boys against the girls, and one sister was like this, this, this, and another sister's boyfriend's face.
Starting point is 00:49:46 He grabbed her hand, twisted it back. Her husband jumped on him, and the two of them started fighting, and people were still guessing. They were raging bull, you know, things like that. No, seriously. And we ended up in the emergency room in Chicago. So, yeah, that's my family.
Starting point is 00:50:04 Yeah, for sure. In Chicago. So, yeah, that's my family. Yeah. For sure. So, I, I, when, when ever. Happy birthday. Whenever you're going to be a guest on the show. Yes. I always called my old friend Larry David. Oh, did you call him again?
Starting point is 00:50:19 Yes. Oh, and what, you know, he sucks because he never called me to say, hey. Yeah, because I had him listen the last time. And you said you would have fucked him, but the timing was wrong. Why do I get another chance? I am married. And basically, his answer was, oh yeah, yeah, the timing, the timing was off. Oh yeah, yeah, she would have really done that.
Starting point is 00:50:49 I know. Yeah. The timing, the one that got away. Everybody has that person in their life. And it was Larry. But you have an obsession with Jews, right? Yes, I'm a Jew groupie. I, no, this is how I explained it.
Starting point is 00:51:00 I grew up in Catholic school. We lived right next door to Catholic, a Catholic church. We had backstage passes to Catholicism because my mother ran a dancing school in our backyard The nuns came over for stretch classes my uncle taught Art at the Catholic grammar school next door my mother my father and mother my mother took them to bra shopping at Vasaret You know and so and my father used to drive them on the weekends. So I grew up a good Catholic school girl and we had these prayer books, these missiles, and we always looked at the Apostles pictures, the holy cards, any other Catholics here,
Starting point is 00:51:34 you know what I'm talking about. So we became obsessed with these long-haired bearded Jewish guys. That's why I'm a Jew groupie from way back. So if you're still into Jews. Well my current husband, third and final, is a Mormon. I'm not exactly Father O'Malley. Yeah. Do you know that as a joke today I was gonna come up here with ashes on my fire and I said I don't know. I didn't know. I would've loved that. I don't know. I don't need to know.
Starting point is 00:52:07 I don't need to know. I would've loved that. It's a podcast. I know, nobody can see it. Do you want, we'll ask you a couple of questions and we wanna plug your one woman show. Oh. Mary Lou's gonna be performing next week.
Starting point is 00:52:19 Next, okay, next Wednesday, March 4th, I'm performing at 54 Below, 7 o'clock. I'm so excited. I'm doing all these numbers, telling stories, showing movies from different little videos and stuff. Tony Downsville will be there, but don't tell anybody. And so I'm doing this. And I chose that day because it's March 4th and it's the only imperative command in the
Starting point is 00:52:41 entire calendar. That's correct. March 4th. And I figured that will help people remember. Can I test you right now? Sure. Uh oh. August 20th, 1981. August 20th, 1981 was a Thursday. That's a joke. Do you remember what you were doing? Yes, I do. Yes. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:53:06 Yes, you know what I was doing? I had just come home from shooting the movie Dream House with John Schneider and I was on the cover of like an earlier, I was on the cover of The Inquirer and they cut John Travolta's picture out because I had dated, and we were on the cover of Us Magazine. They cut his picture out, put John Schneider's in, put hearts and flowers around it, and quoted us from the movie. And my husband at the time, my first ex-husband,
Starting point is 00:53:34 Frederick Forrest, he flipped out. He flipped out. This is a true story. You know she was married to Frederick Forrest? Yeah. Oh, yeah, Richard, you know, we've gone out. See, this is a date I just pulled out of my ass. This is...
Starting point is 00:53:48 I knew nothing about any of this. Well, whatever. What is this thing you have called? It's called highly superior autobiographical memory, or HSAM, highly superior autobiographical memory. So you remember every single date of your life? Pretty much, yeah. Some days take a little bit longer to come up than others,
Starting point is 00:54:10 but they all come up eventually. Gilbert has the exact opposite. I know, I know. I did the show with you guys. You know what's incredible about these guys? They do their homework, don't you think? They do their homework. So all of you guys who are real fans of the show,
Starting point is 00:54:25 I mean, it's amazing how much homework they do. And I did it in Los Angeles, so I was like looking at mirrors, and you still feel like you're part of the team. And wait, wait, I just have to say something. I went to school in Chicago, Madonna High School, and where I would get on the bus, for some reason there was this old time bar, and you know who was always performing there? Forrest Tucker. I haven't
Starting point is 00:54:48 heard. It's come full circle. I haven't heard that name since I was like getting on a bus to go to Madonna High School and there was Forrest Tucker. Did you know he was famously endowed? Forrest Tucker. Good Catholic school. Not interesting. No, I know. I heard that. 1992. February 12th. How are you gonna know? How are you gonna verify? Stop, stop. I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted.
Starting point is 00:55:13 It's my brain. Do you wanna tell, you guys were in the tale of the allergist's wife. Yes we were. Do you wanna, now you started, we were in the green room and you said you were, you could tell that story.
Starting point is 00:55:21 Okay. He said you told it. All right, we're gonna have a debate right here, okay? Okay, but here's one of the things about this show, is I'll be listening to the show, and they'll give a quote, or they'll say such and such, and how many people want to go, no, it's not that person, it's this person.
Starting point is 00:55:37 We get a lot of those. And you get angry, and then sometimes I get quoted, and it's, I didn't say that, or you tell a story, or a story that I told you and you don't give me Credit for All right, so Richard's got issues with all of us Tell the story and I will tell you how what happened Well, I'll tell you he can tell you his side all I'm telling you is what happened from my end of things
Starting point is 00:56:00 So we're in the show together My character doesn't show up till the first act second scene but the first scene the entrance is Richard There's a little bit of a scene between the character that Rhea Pearlman played and she and the guy who plays the doorman, the two of them are having a little scene. And then all of a sudden Richard, his character comes in from a jog. Okay? So now I'm in my dressing room and all of a sudden I hear Richard's cue and nothing. And all of a sudden they're ad libbing and it's like they're still talking about the chandelier and the furniture and all this other stuff. And I, nothing. And all of a
Starting point is 00:56:35 sudden this is what I hear. Coming down the stairs, banging, banging, this kind of stuff. And all of a sudden we hear on stage, should I give them the punch line, or you want to tell them from your point of view? And then we'll do the punch line. Or shall I say what happened? Okay. Okay. Well, can I describe what had happened? Well, that's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:56:54 Yeah. Okay. I know how to lead someone up. It was a Wednesday afternoon. The matinee was over, I take a nap. And I turned down the loudspeaker, I'm on the third floor, I turn it down because I don't want to be disturbed. But then I don't turn it up that day.
Starting point is 00:57:11 So I never got places, I never got half hour, I never got places, I never got five minutes. And I was sitting there with my phone. And I'm just playing games. I would thank God I was in costume, I had woken up ages ago. And I just never turned a thing up and I hear, Richard, Richard! And I come running down and I grab, I had a fanny
Starting point is 00:57:33 pack and a newspaper and coffee and a donut and headphones and I just grab everything off the prop table. I may have got other people's props. Grabbed it, and I walked in like this. They were on stage for a minute and a half. Which is forever. With no dialogue. Right. And the guy playing the doorman goes, he was Indian, shouldn't your husband be home by now?
Starting point is 00:57:56 Shouldn't your husband be home by now? And I grab everything, and I just kick the door open. I go, I was almost mugged. I think you said, can you believe it? I was almost mugged. I was almost mugged. And they were so furious. The amazing thing is, this is a minute and a half
Starting point is 00:58:21 of silence and not Charles Bush's words. I had a very savvy friend in the audience, Caroline Ray. She was in the audience watching it, and yes, she deserves applause and should be on the show, but Caroline Ray was out in the audience and had no idea that anything was wrong. So audiences can truly be tricked. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:49 We've been doing it for six years. Yeah, for sure. For sure, for sure. Yes. We decided to do this Carson style. Yeah, this is fun. You were on The Tonight Show an impressive 23 times with Johnny.
Starting point is 00:59:01 Johnny. Yeah, I was on with Johnny six times, with Jay a million times. David Letterman, I did on with Johnny six times with Jay a million times. David Letterman, I did it with Bill Cosby. That's another whole podcast. Yeah, I did it with George Carlin, with, you know, all of them. Gary Shandling, everything.
Starting point is 00:59:16 What would Cosby sound like interviewing Mary Lou? Oh my God. He did not like, we did not like each other. Well, you look really like you're thirsty. I know Mary Lou has a really dry throat. And if you want to drink something, you don't have to interview. You just have a sip of this.
Starting point is 00:59:42 Sorry. And then you go back to my hotel room and hey it's the cows. Sorry, I saw a moment. Oh no, go for it. Go for it. What was, we haven't had a lot of guests on the show that have revealed what Johnny was like. What was interesting is... Gilbert never met him. Okay, the first time I was on, it had been the day after Sally Field had gone on and she was dating Burt Reynolds at the time, my love, and she did this whole thing with whipped cream. And he was so freaked out. They told me the next night, and I was on, and they said to me, don't pull any tricks,
Starting point is 01:00:23 just be the panel, just sit there, don't do anything. Now I'm on The Tonight Show for the first time, it was my second season of Taxi and so it was the end of my first season of Taxi and all of a sudden I walk out, I've got a silk blouse on, he looks at me and he goes, oh it's cold backstage, huh? Oh no. So I was like this, yeah I guess so. You know and I mean we had no chemistry but they thought something was wrong with Johnny that night, he didn't
Starting point is 01:00:53 give me a chance, blah blah blah. So they had me back two months later with George Carlin, I had a great time so then they started bringing me on all the time. So they asked me to do with Johnny again and I said oh I was just on two months ago with Jay and they said no no no we want no, we want you to go on. You guys, you know, we know it's going to be great. And Bob Hope's on and you're just going to come on. Brian Regan, if he gets a chance, he's going to be on. He's a famous comedian. And if you guys come on, you know, you'll like do a little fast segment and stuff. What happens is Bob Hope is at Universal and there is a bomb scare.
Starting point is 01:01:25 So now, Brian Regan and I, we are the show. I'm on for three segments, which is unheard of. And at that time, I was trying to get pregnant. So I talked about sex after marriage and how my husband and I at the time, my second husband, I'm on my third and final, we were keeping a chart and I was talking to my gynecologist about what's normal, blah, blah, blah, and everything else.
Starting point is 01:01:47 So I said, yeah, so 16 times in February, a short month. That's pretty good, I guess. And he's like, huh, 16 times. He did like a whole Johnny thing. So it was so great. And then I just started, then they had me come on like all the time. Brian got two segments too. It was like a free-for-all. So then I started doing it a lot. Did you ever get to know him a little bit? Did you ever get to... He was very nice, but you know, Letterman... You have a lot of insight into him.
Starting point is 01:02:09 I love Letterman. He was the best. Letterman was my favorite too. The best. And I know Jay, I love Jay too, but Letterman, there's nobody like Letterman. I did his show a lot. Yeah. I agree. Yeah. I agree. Incredible. Yeah, it's great. I mean, how great that we get to know each other and get up here and do things and keep
Starting point is 01:02:26 going. And you and I, we didn't really know each other, but we both had celebrity apprentices in common, so we had a lot of memories from that. Moving right along. Yeah, that's crazy. I did it twice. I did it twice, but he and I didn't do it at the same time. No. Ms. Henner?
Starting point is 01:02:46 Yes? We hear you have a number for us. Oh yes, let me go up and do it. I'm so excited. Okay, I'm doing this number on Wednesday, next Wednesday, March 4th. And this is the first time I'm singing it for a group of people, so I'm really excited. This is my virgin tour of this song. Okay, so I told you that I have this unusual memory. Now, most people remember
Starting point is 01:03:13 8 to 11 events within any given year, but I remember virtually every day of my life. And this thing is called H-SAM, Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory, H-SAM. And it's been a real blessing my entire life. So yeah, no really. I can tell you the day of the week and what I was doing on any given day. I can recall every tryst on my list, especially the foreplay. I remember the fall of the big Berlin Wall and what I was eating for lunch. Saddam underground, Kofax on the mound, Muhammad Ali's jungle punch, cause I have H-S-A-M, H-S-A-M, I'll say it again.
Starting point is 01:04:18 I can describe every present for Christmas and birthday since I was five. I recall every classical sketch on Saturday night live. Monica's blue dress, Fisher's basking in chess, and all of my teachers in school. MLK's dream coma, Nietzsche on the beat, and those four boys from Liverpool. Because I am HCM, capital H-S-A-M, capital H-S-A-M. I'll say it again.
Starting point is 01:04:53 I've been featured on 60 Minutes many times with my friend Leslie Stahl. After hundreds of tests they determined my memories, certifiably oddball. Nine different spots on my brain, ten times larger than the average Joe. I never forget, recalling snow sweat, don't need no ginkgo my lobo. Cause I have H-S-A-M, capital H-S-A-M. I'll say it again. People ask, is this blessing or curse? If my big brain will let me be. If you want the truth, go ask my husband, because I'm a number three, because I have H-SAM, Capital H-S-A-M.
Starting point is 01:05:48 I'll say it again. Because I have H-SAM, Capital H-S-A-M. That's all. Thank you! Thank you! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Starting point is 01:06:34 That's okay. That was fun. I want to say Mary Lou, all the people we've had on this show, or we're going to have on the show tonight, have done the show multiple times. Mary Lou's been on with us once. But when she found out about this, she was very, she called me after the show that we did. And when I told her about this, she said,
Starting point is 01:06:49 okay, book me, I have to be a part of this. I said I have to be here, it's the week before my show. I said, what, thank you. I said, what is it, a sausage party? This is ridiculous, you need some girls up here. We're so glad that you came. Thank you. And that you did this.
