Guys, we had such unbelievable feedback on the last one.
We are doing this again.
This is another holiday special,
but this is the good parts of our live shows,
the highlights of the live shows.
We don't do that many, but they're super fun.
We will definitely do more.
We got to get us out there and just bust in our hump.
I'm on tour, so I go out anyway, but I'll drag Dana and we'll come to a few more cities
this year and do it because it's always a blast.
We got part from James Austin Johnson.
He was the first we did, and that was in Texas.
He did his Trump, he did impressions.
We cracked up.
We have Sandler on this, Will Farrell, one of my all-time faves, of course, Zach Alphon
Actis, who is such a genius.
And it's really, it's kind of more fun with the crowd.
You know, we sort of pannered at them, but they're always good, they laugh, and they stick
it out during the serious stuff.
But we mostly just cracked up and fuck off an accident, but that's what people like.
And that's what paid for my Honda Accord.
So I'm thankful.
All right, here you go guys.
Happy holidays.
Mm-hm.
Mm-hm.
Mm-hm.
Mm-hm.
Mm-hm.
Norm was in Jeopardy with you a lot.
Yeah.
Any funny nor historical anything about Reynolds?
Yeah, my God.
Because that was a great.
Jeopardy again, one of the big sketches that
you just know.
Big sketches, everyone remembers.
Yeah.
Always funny.
Darryl was funny at Norm's grave.
Yeah, the best norm story was,
I think it's the one where he's wearing,
he comes back, he's wearing a big foam cowboy hat.
Yeah. I was like, that's funny, huh? What, he's wearing a big foam cowboy hat.
I was like, that's funny, huh?
We're in a cowboy hat.
And anyway, there's some beat
where I have to be super-exasperated with him.
And I yell at him and we get out of the sketch
and Norm comes running after me and he's like,
hey, well, everything okay?
I go, yeah, why?
He's like, he seemed kind of mad at me out there.
I was like, no, Norm, I'm, I'm, we've done it.
This is like the fourth time we've done the sketch.
No, but that time it just seemed like you're really
were mad at me for some reason.
I was like, no, we're good.
That's very, it's very norm right there.
That's his sense of humor.
Yeah, he's the kind of man there for a moment, right?
But he was not, I don't think he was doing a bit of,
he wasn't doing a bit of, he might've been serious
that he was dreaming.
He was very sensitive and that way too.
He was very shaken.
Yeah.
And then,
because you can commit hard and you probably scared him.
Another, another great norm story has nothing to do with him.
For back, was, and Katan told me about it. They were on a flight together. Another great norm story has nothing to do with her back.
Was, and Katan told me about it.
They were on a flight together back,
L.A. to New York, Chris had taken off his shoes
and he can't find his shoes.
They're about to land, can't find his shoes.
He's going to the flight attendant.
He's seen my shoes, I took them off.
It's like, I don't know.
He's like, good day.
I'm like, no arm, come on.
You took my shoes.
No, I didn't.
I didn't take your shoes.
Why would I take your shoes?
It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
I've never taken, oh, no.
He's like, come on, give me back my shoes.
I know you took them.
I know.
No arm's like, I don't know what you're talking about.
Could Tannis to walk through JFK.
With no shoes?
With no shoes, just in a socks.
And then Tyre's season goes by.
And then Katana and Norm are jousting back up.
Yeah, they're jousting.
They're jousting.
And then Norm finally goes, oh yeah,
one other thing, I did take your shoes. That flight in November? Flight November. I took on my
through him in the trash can just so you know. Yeah, he's like, I tell you shoes there.
Right. And I just had a grab of the shoe. So yeah, you were right. I had I had I think you can get in so much shit. Oh my god. Yeah, he was tough
Okay, let's see if we have anything else well before we let you go
Oh, and the other other thing I was thinking about today
Downey used to give me the great. I loved Jim downy. I'm sorry Jim downy
Legendary writer who came up with
I'm sorry, Jim Downey, legendary writer, who came up with a strategy.
How he did?
It's true.
I had the 182 right and for me,
all you know, with Alfred and Jim Downey.
Totally.
But Downey, I loved being in Downey's sketches
for a number of different reasons,
but the best was between Dresonair
and you do it every single time,
and I would laugh hard every single time.
He'd go, great job.
Take it down about a thousand percent.
And then I would just, yes, and I'd be like, oh, yeah, okay.
And he'd be like, I don't know what happened.
You must have gotten into your big juice or something.
But he would literally tell me to take it down a thousand percent worst advice
Did you made me laugh every time he would never say he's joking yeah, yeah
Yeah, I remember one time I did a joke on Hollywood Minute about
With jokes, you know, they have some some had a little more of a some were clever some a little mean streak
But I did a Jim Carrey one the funniest part is I liked 99% of the people. Of course.
And Jim Carrey, I was just trying to get foot in the door at SNL and whatever it took.
But Jim was doing these, you know, the movies that I loved, but I said, and they would
always prod me to go farther.
Right.
Because it was like through them.
I dare you.
Yeah.
I said, Oh, Jim's Carrey after this. One of his movies was Rush to the hospital
after an overdose of overacting pills
with plate to big juice.
And the crowd just stared at me.
And it was too soon.
Don't mess with that fucking guy.
Yeah, Jim carry.
And I was like, no, I love it.
And anyway, that was cut after dress.
But dress here was a good, but that was those guys.
And they would write me the roughest Hollywood minute jokes
like that, rewrite table.
They go, Jim would be like, oh, you would never.
Well, no, you're too much of a pussy.
And I go, no, I'm not what.
And then he'd tell me, I go, yeah, I'm too much of a pussy.
I'm not saying that, he goes, of course, because you're a pussy.
And I go, why?
But it was all whatever he wanted to say and get the anger out.
And get to me.
Well, then they hide behind the whole thing.
Oh, I know that's why it's so funny.
They get to say whatever they want, but I would have to sort of temper it, but always funny.
I mean, they're always just, they're just fucking around.
Wait, one last normal, McDonald's story.
Sorry.
Love them.
Do you remember the Mama Celeste frozen pizza commercials?
Yes. No, I don't. And it was this and she would say,
Abondanza, yeah. Which is a made up marketing word. There's no,
there's no. I didn't know. It's delicious. Italian language. I thought that was genuine
attire. Yeah. And one day we were sitting around in the writers room
having lunch and we're doing a bit where I'm like,
hey guys, this lunch is pretty good.
Abundanza, right?
And everyone goes, yeah, Abundanza.
And Norm's sitting there like, Norm, come on, just say it.
Say Abundanza.
Now I'm not gonna say it.
Like, come on, Norm, just say it.
Abundanza. I won't do it. I'm not gonna say it. Like come on, Norm. Just say it. Abundanza.
I won't do it.
I'm not gonna say it.
We get like 15 of us like,
come on, Norm, it'd be rude now.
Ever, we've all said Abundanza.
You should just say Abundanza.
Now, and I wanna say it, I'm not gonna say it.
I won't say it.
You never would say it.
Anyway, that's the end of the story, but.
But. He.
Yeah.
Well, I think we're gonna have a few people.
That's like it's a waste of question.
Hey, a penny saved is a penny earn they say, right?
That's like a hundred percent return.
Can't get that anywhere.
Anything.
Is that what he's saying?
I was just talking on the phone with Norm, you know?
You know, you should bury some money, right?
Cause then later on your relit
as he'll dig it up, then I'll have money, right?
He just had the driest money.
I didn't have a TV the first year.
Oh, and I was on the show,
cause I just didn't buy one
cause I thought I'm never gonna be in my apartment.
So I go and watch the NBC Sports Feed
on like a Sunday.
Norm, of course, is in there.
And Norm enjoyed gambling on sports.
And we're watching some game and I'm like,
ooh, gotta watch out.
You know, the University of Cincinnati.
They're pretty good in the mud.
It's like, really?
And I go, yeah.
I think they're like 750 winning percentage in rainy games.
I didn't know that.
Yeah, I can.
Logs it away.
I think we're doing a bit.
Right, right, right.
There's no way.
How do I know that stuff?
Yeah.
Ha, ha, ha.
Ha, ha.
Week later, and I was like,
you cost me 35 grand.
Ha, ha, ha.
I'm like, doing what do you mean?
Cincinnati, you ever since an alley in a month.
Like, what?
You said they were really good and raining.
Rainy, raining.
I'm like, you bet on, I was joking.
And you bet that much.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Why are you telling me that's amount, too?
That's like when Norm asked Love It's for a give me $200 so they're playing a casserole.
Oh, that's funny.
You know, he's like, John's like, okay.
So the next day, John, huh?
Land, land.
And he goes, yeah, yeah. And then Love It's like, can I get my money back? And he goes, okay. So the next day, John, land, land. And he goes, yeah, yeah.
And then love it's like, can I get my money back?
And he goes, no, no, I lost that, I lost all of it.
He goes, why are you mad?
I lost $8,000.
Yeah, he goes, you only lost 200.
You only lost 200, yeah.
We love norm.
There was only one norm.
It was amazing.
It was a comedy genius.
Yeah. We love Norm. There was only one in the arm and it was amazing. The comedy genius.
The first ferns I saw, these ferns are like tall pine trees by now. When I saw the first one, I didn't know what it was.
Someone just sent it to me and I said, look at this.
And so I thought it was a real interview and then it was Natalie Portman who I love.
And so I was, of course, in a Jail's rage immediately.
And then you were saying,
some of you had great jokes,
and that I won't repeat them,
because I'm not good at that.
But you said so many jokes,
and it was so, and for her to play along,
and I thought it was real for a while,
and then I go, Jesus, this is so weird.
And then it took me a while to figure it out too long. And then, then so I started going, Jesus, this is so weird. And then it took me a while to figure it out too long.
And then, then, so I started going, oh, this is great.
And then when you would do them, you obviously didn't
overdo it, you didn't do too many.
They weren't super long.
It was just a great, great bit that
lives out there on the internet, which everyone should see.
I don't know why I'm going with this, Dana Jumping.
Would you like to say anything in your defense act?
Well, I mean speaking of that one, we shot it.
That one we shot in a garage.
And I think we shot that one in a garage right around here, right in Hollywood somewhere.
And the thing about that one is there's a line in it, not to be vulgar,
but it's something about, did you shave your,
okay, you said,
can we hear it?
She was in V for Vendetta.
Yeah, and then there's a punchline,
did you shave your V for Vagina?
Yes.
That one caught me off guard.
To Natalie Portman, in a garage.
Yes.
In a garage.
In a garage, right?
In a garage, too.
By the way, I barely understand that joke.
They got it.
I think it doesn't quite know what it sounds funny.
It doesn't quite know what it sounds funny.
I think it's the fact that I'm asking this.
Yes.
So anyway, if I remember correctly, she was quite good with the whole thing.
And then we sent it to her just to show it to her.
And I had asked that joke to be left out of it.
I said, can you edit that out?
We'll send it to her.
And her note was, where's that vagina joke?
Oh, really?
Oh, I love it.
Oh, by the way, just we didn't know if that was the exact note.
Where is the vagina joke?
Something like that.
Like something along the lines.
By the way, the dog is one of the hip-beater.
Yeah, she's out here.
No, but there's a dog that you keep cutting too,
which is even funnier.
Yeah, that was, I think that was a real dog.
The dog rolls over his back and then when something dies
or it just sits there, then they cut over the dog.
All right, it all works.
And then I, Sean Penn won, Sean looked very cool in that one.
Huh, yeah, I'd be scared of that one.
And then, and then Sean Penn can,
yeah, I had a fight with him.
I was in a dress at the time, but you know.
You said you can hit me harder. Yeah, I had a fight with him. I was in a dress at the time, but you know, he said in me harder.
He said you can hit me harder.
I have no problem.
So I hit him.
I would like to one day talk to him about the one we did.
They bring it up because it was.
It was an interesting, it was an interesting day.
Well, was was was he truly a set or was he?
He was very.
He was very quiet.
He's a good actor.
Yeah.
So he can or he's a good actor.
Um, um,
uh,
and, uh,
I,
I think he may have been ready to deck me in real life.
I, I don't know.
Maybe he was doing a method thing and I, I, I don't, so he,
he held it so serious that you weren't sure if he was serious.
He might have been.
Yeah.
And, and, and I have worked with him.
I mean, I'm not that I know him,
but you know, he has a good sense of humor.
He really does.
He really does.
Yes, huge laugher and it loves to go see stand up.
But in that moment, it was a,
I remember watching, was it something you
was it a line that you gave you said
something? Yeah, weren't you playing
your brother or something in the
whole thing? I was playing this
over the over the well it's not
really over top there are people
like this in the south. Really into
him for the wrong reasons type
person. Okay, and how does that guy
talk?
Well, it's based on a character I used to do
in high school called the, I think his name was
of the Affeminate Racist.
And... I remember that skittles, yeah. So that's great.
So it's just a guy that talks like they yes.
And so, friends of mine that were black in high school
would bump me in the hallway, so I would,
this character would be released.
And I would say to them,
my mom told me not to talk to black people.
And they would go crazy with die laughing
because they understood at the time that I was mocking it all.
You know, so that's where that came from.
That was as simple as that.
Well, there was something Dana where he goes,
Sean, and he's doing this and he's sort of prodding us.
Did you get in that, I'd get in that Hollywood
just so you could go to all the parties
and all the wrong reasons that Sean wouldn't want.
Sean is very funny and unlike his persona out there
and so I like these going longer that
but he was so serious then he goes,
I can walk over there and knock you the fuck out right now.
And even I was like, God damn he gave that a good reason.
I think he knew it was funny and interesting.
I think he was like, I don't think he was offended.
I'd like to ask him, we haven't spoken since.
Um...
I...
His kids and my kids went to school together,
or at least played sports together up in Northern California,
so I'll talk to Sean.
Yeah, ask him. Ask him.
I'm curious.
Hey, man.
I want to smoke.
If you could smoke and not get diseases,
I would definitely be smoking right now.
There's nothing cooler, right?
It's like, tell some more, Zach.
Anyway, can we go back to you as a young person then?
Like, you strike me as like an introverted extrovert,
like you're shy.
In a way, I think we are maybe.
Well, I think I am, but anyway, it doesn't matter.
Anyway, but then you have this powerhouse thing
that comes out like in high school.
Did you go to the theater group
or are you just funny with friends
or what were you like in grade school, high school,
just walking around?
Just walking around.
Just walking around.
Just walking around.
This is the Beverly Hills.
I mean, I think I was somewhat quiet, but I think, I mean, humor in my family was seen
in very high regard.
So my cousins, my brother, my family is funny.
I kind of watched them, even as the quiet person I thought I was or I think I was.
So I was kind of this more kind of observant kid that thought maybe one day I could through
my observations, maybe make a thing out of it.
And you were thinking that like at age 8, 10, 12? I mean, but young, young, you got the idea,
maybe you would do this for a little bit.
This is gonna sound weird,
but it was at my parents' conception of me.
Okay.
Mm.
Doesn't sound weird at all.
You just didn't say I heard right?
You didn't say I heard right?
You didn't say I heard right?
My brother Brad, I got three older brothers.
He swears he remembers being born and he's serious.
Really?
Yeah, he has a photographic memory
just to remember being born.
Yeah.
I'm not kidding, Brad, the guy that makes a big gun.
I hate bubba.
Funny, younger really pays off,
and I think that's for all of us, like, at dinner
or at school, like, I was at a school
that was, I was a little bit of a Pipsqueak,
hard to believe, and always bullied and push on,
but if you could, I would quietly say jokes to my friends or under my breath.
But that kind of, if you get a little something,
that's all I had.
I wasn't super athletic, I wasn't this.
So, if you have some little hook like that, you go,
ooh, my dad thought it was funny.
You know, people think it's funny and then you go,
oh, and then you try to, maybe that's kind of
like that for a lot of comedians.
Well, the tall guys didn't have to do anything
to get the girls.
Not thanks.
We, on a bioevolutionary to do anything to get the girls. Not thanks.
On a bio-evolutionary level, we had to be funny.
Zach, you're not that short.
You're, you're, you're, you're.
I'm around six, two.
Yeah, I'm going to.
I'm going to break down just for my own amusement.
Yeah, sure, sure, sure. James is awesome, Trump. I'm gonna break down just for my own amusement.
Yeah, sure, sure, sure.
James is awesome, Trump, because I think that
the way you do it is like free association jazz,
and I know you can...
Yes, I wanted to say that a podcast clip of mine
that I think it caught on with like Seth Myers
and his group of friends,
because it was Trump talking about 2000s New York alt comedy.
It was like I had been doing Trump, you want to do it?
And our guest, Whit Thomas was like, hey, where are you a comic back then and the 2000s
in New York?
And they're like, oh yeah, there's, you know what?
It was so wonderful to be with comedy.
You know what?
With comedy, it was never about the shows. It was never about the shows, it was about the diner afterwards, we loved diner.
And I would add me eating pancakes.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Oh, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little, he's a little st- he's a little st- He's a little st- Can I talk, please?
He's not giving me any moment to talk.
I'm eating pancakes with Patrice O'Neil,
and I just can't believe that I get to do this every night.
It's so wonderful, great city on earth.
You do God-thumb, and you do Ruffee-Fee, and you do.
Maybe you'd get a spot at the Boston or something and a little couple of dollars in your pocket.
You say, oh, this is a pretty good gig.
Made 300 bucks tonight, you know, maybe by PlayStation or...
Go to Gap.
There's so much detail in that, and you did the little breath thing
Here I'll give you I'll read these as myself
Okay, like these are just Trump things that you've incorporated with free association
I don't even I bet you never wrote these down or anything, but I I watched your thing. Okay, frankly let me tell you
You're gonna be seeing a lot of it.
I can, that I can tell you.
Yeah.
Yeah, that I can tell you, that I can tell you.
Let me tell you, frankly.
Frankly.
Okay, let me tell you.
You can read it, if you can read those.
Frankly, let me tell you,
you're gonna be seeing a lot of, excuse me.
Excuse me. I can tell you that, that I can tell you, I can tell those. Frankly, let me tell you you're going to be seeing a lot of excuse me. Excuse me.
I can tell you that.
That I can tell you.
I can tell you that.
I mean, when you look at, I mean, when you look at, I mean, when you look at, yeah, that
nectar phrase, yeah.
Ask me something that I do.
So you're going to be a reporter.
You're going to ask the real Trump a question.
He doesn't have an answer to.
So I'm just going to not have an answer to it.
Right.
So do you think we're going to increase exporting natural gas to Europe?
I mean, when you look at what China is doing in terms of esports, I mean, really, when you
look at all of it, if you look at gas, I mean, gas is one thing, but frankly, when you're
looking at all the rest of it, I can tell you that I mean, when you look at what they're
doing with the Democrats of it, I can tell you that, I mean, when you look at what they're doing with...
Look at what the Democrats have told us.
Oh, I love it.
The way that he can...
Let's do it.
He'll just spin it off into, like, his mesmerizing, like, way of talking in some other place.
Yeah, but the things...
There's more, if you want to see...
I had no idea.
And it didn't work out so great for some of those people. And it didn't work out so great for some of those people.
And it didn't work out so great for some of those people.
Yeah, I love that one.
Man, I mean, we were all listening to his voice
for four and a half hours every day for like five years.
You're the one who put it all together, you know,
and then you made it into this supernatural.
I'm looking at what they're doing. Let's see.
Look at all of it.
Frankly, look at all of it.
Look at all of it.
People are very disappointed.
Like, you wouldn't believe.
A lot of people are very disappointed.
Like, you wouldn't believe.
Like, you wouldn't believe.
That's a big one.
There is a level of disappointment that would make your head spin, frankly, that would
make there's so much disappointment.
There's some people and people are angry.
What people?
Why don't they agree about it?
Never matters.
You know, he says anybody, he says someone, and a lot of people are saying very bad things
about someone.
You're hearing it more and more all the time.
It's so very end-run.
It's vagueness.
It goes into a court.
You know what?
Terrible deal, a really bad, bad deal.
You're seeing it all over the place.
Many people are saying, OK.
You're seeing it all over the place.
Many people say that.
And they're saying, we don't want that.
We're not people.
We're not people who don't want that.
We're not people.
We are going to be doing something very soon.
We are going to be doing something about it.
Nobody knows. Nobody knows.
Nobody knows.
Nobody knows.
Nobody knows.
My favorite was when he was at the rallies
during the height of COVID.
And he was like, and they can't even tell you
what the 19 stands for.
It's literally 2020.
It's 2020.
And I'm like context goes, what do you think
the 19 probably stands for?
The 2019 version of the virus.
I think that was all I had.
But oh, my God.
He does say words like old-fashioned words like terrific
and fantastic.
Things like your dad says, your grandma,
that aren't the vernacular as much anymore,
but he keeps throwing them in there.
It reminds you that he's 75.
Do you want to do?
Oh yeah, he's 75, and it's the mix of the old timing language
and the old timing way of thinking and speaking about people,
but he's obsessed with something rude
that Lady Gaga said about him on a radio show or something.
Lady Gaga was very, very rude.
Not nice. And Gaga was very, very rude.
Not nice.
And she was not nice.
It was also the kindergarten or thing.
They're just like breaking down what would have been a more elegant phrase with another
presidential candidate and just breaking it down to like the caveman fragment.
Not nice, very big.
Stone Cold Loser. Stone big. Stone Cold Loser.
Stone is a stone Cold Loser.
I mean, that's the, that's where you get the,
who talks like, the 80s wrestler thing.
Oh, okay.
Cause there's a little bit of 80s wrestler to it too.
Yeah, WWE.
Now you do something, a little birdie told me,
you do something, well, where someone could give you
a famous TV show and you could talk about it as Trump.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah, I can do that.
Well, since they don't think this is not print pre-planed,
you guys yell out at any kind of famous TV show.
Yeah.
Okay, there's 200.
What did you hear?
I can't.
The 18.
The 18?
The wonder you heard.
Anything you've heard of.
You know what?
With Winnie Cooper, she was...she was very beautiful.
But I don't think that Mr. Savage, you know, Mr. Savage just needed to wait his turn.
I think that he needed to wait his turn with Winnie because Winnie wasn't ready for what
they were doing with Winnie.
And Joe Cocker is such an awful person when you meet him with Joe Cocker.
That is someone who needs a little bit more help from his friends.
I think he probably had to, you know what they said that he got high with the help of his
friends.
I said, what kind of friends are that if they're helping you with drugs and they're helping
you and you look at China, you look at what they're doing with Russia, what they're doing
with.
Honestly, what they're doing in Austin, Texas is absolutely awful.
I think it's such a terrible thing with the segues and the river and the bats.
You know those bats shit everywhere.
Those bats are shitting on all of it.
And I said, I was looking around, they show me the bridge and I said,
are we going to do something about this bad problem?
You got to do something about the bats because,
and you know what they call it? Guano.
Do you ever hear that? They call it Guano. Do you ever hear that?
They call it Guano, have you ever heard that?
I said, what the hell is Guano?
And they said, it's what they call the poop and they poop straight down the front of their
breast.
You know, they poop and you see the poop on their legs.
What is it go with their mouths?
So we've been talking to Dracula, we're talking to Frank Einstein.
We're going to do something about the bats because the bats frankly should be sleeping horizontally
And this whole thing that you know Joe Biden and Kamala they want the bats to be hanging upside down
They want you to be eating backs of a night
There needs to be a brazen claim about what the democ, something the Democrats aren't doing
But but there's like a there's like a cut a I mean come on.
That was all from the Wonder Years.
Yeah.
I always had my China on the Wonder Years I remember.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know what was savage?
Savage was very involved with everything that was going on with China in terms of
China.
Walling with regard to microchips and supply chain.
I mean, it's really awful with Steve Jobs and all of it.
I think it's terrible.
I think it's terrible.
It's like you don't really need like joke jokes.
It's just the rhythm and the references are so funny.
Yeah, I mean, I don't like, you know, I just listen to this for hours.
I mean, I just...
You love...
That's how he blow of it. That's how he led us for four years. It's because it is fun to this for hours. I mean, I just love. That's how he blow of it.
That's how he led us for four years.
Because it is fun to hear him talk.
It's fun to hear whether you like him
or not like whatever politics are.
You're right.
You will probably be hypnotized by the weird rhythmic way
that he speaks.
I mean, it works.
It does.
Yeah, like how he'll just repeat,
you're gonna be winning, winning, like you won't be.
It's gonna be so good.
Like, you just believe it because he said it 20 times in a row.
Within within one minute.
Within one minute. It's gonna be so you're not gonna be so good.
It's gonna be incredible. Frankly, it's gonna be very, very good.
Like yeah, so I understand why my grandpa who was like hardcore conservative,
you know, who would never have voted for a Trump in his life.
But the minute that Trump was on TV 24-7,
if you just hear, I'm going to be amazing at this,
over and over and over again.
And like, and the people that hated him
gave him the most airtime.
They're like, can you believe that he's saying this?
I'm like, you probably-
Well, like, they call it the Trump bump on CNN.
They got a minute, a bit of that per year.
I mean, it's just fun to hear him talk
and it's not as marising and it works.
You're gonna like this one.
You didn't really lean on it much,
but in the beginning, I remember in the classic comic sense
of the idiot, so like there's Jerry Lewis,
like the king, and then I remember you would do the hunched over guy
and he would do that sound.
Oh, like where did that guy come from?
Because that instantly made me laugh so hard,
because you were so committed, was that what was I?
Oh, you take it.
I don't even know, man.
It's very musical.
Can you do more?
I was spelled good in a microphone.
Oh. Yeah. Ooh. No, man. It's very musical. Can you do more? We spell good in a microphone.
I don't even remember that ever got on the air if I ever did that. I just remember seeing that and really loving it, you know, but there's one character I want to break down unless David has a question because I'm
Sure, go ahead
We're really close friends. The opera man, the evolution of opera
man that then became the indestructible killer bit of all time. By the time you
got it on the update desk with the pictures and you were missing. So good way.
I don't want to let you fit.
But talk about the origins of that and the way you did it and then the way you ended up
doing it.
You've all got to.
Yes, that's my question.
Thank you.
Yeah, that's a good question.
And I remember you, you knew the guy.
So there was a man on the street who used to sing opera on the street.
He used to hold the can up and you'd be walking down a street
and he'd kind of come back and go, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey I met that guy today at McDonald's. He wasn't singing though, he's in between sets.
And what would a guy like that be ordering like a McDonald's?
I wouldn't even.
Hey, Bob McEuchoss.
The thing that you can sound exactly opera is one more gift on SNL.
If you can't have a voice.
If they'd write a singing sketch, obviously Adam wrote a lot of his own, but if they'd write
somewhere you're singing, you can get in, if you can play an instrument, you can get in.
There's so many things if you can do dance.
So if you don't do a lot of those things, which was kind of a drag, but Adam can sing so
well and actually write songs and actually write songs that are catchy because a lot of
those things you don't update were actually really catchy on top of just being funny.
And so that combo is big.
And that op-a-man was a fucking cruncher. That always. I was a gift from the Ternars.
Didn't you do it off on the stage next update initially?
No, I first time I did it. It was just gibberish. It was like it was a Peter thing. And I think maybe you
or was it Phil? That's what I remember. I don't remember this one. Maybe you, maybe you.
But I was in my office.
Yeah, that's it.
I don't use to go around the office.
On all fours. Oh, oh you're asking me to do something introduce
Opperman.
Right?
So I did remember that.
So you were like a theater guy would say,
like the Opperman something like,
goes from the emotion of trying to catch the bus.
But unfortunately, he misses the bus.
But then he sees his mother is behind the bus and picks him up.
Let's watch the opera man.
That was kind of like that. I'm you know, Salar, it's good.
But if you a trick on us now is if Adam was probably slightly newer then, but if you anchor
it with Dana who they love.
Oh right.
And then he brings John and they go, and Dana seems to like it.
And then they start to like the new guy.
And then he'll pull.
When you're new it helps.
No, it was a Dana's the best at it. You can do it. Help. When you're new at home. When you're new at home. No, it was a day and it's the best at it.
So that's what it was.
But anyways, it did fine.
It was up at the table.
It did well.
Everybody, remember after a while,
they started liking us at the table.
When David and I first were on SNM,
and at the table, when we try to get on
and we do full skits for ourselves,
everybody else was kind of like calm down.
That's enough guys, yeah, that's enough.
Not yet, not yet.
But then by this time they were like, alright, give me a shot.
And then we did that and it didn't do great so Lauren didn't put it on.
But then the turners had a nowhere, Bonnie and Terry Turner.
Great writers, great writers.
Right over the show for eight, nine years.
Wayne's world.
Wayne's world.
You were like, yeah, they were.
They wrote the first Tommy Boy draft soon.
What's that?
They wrote the first draft of Tommy Boy.
They wrote the next draft.
Tommy Boy, that's right.
They were monsters.
I don't even know why we don't hear about
talk about them more.
They had some huge sketches.
You guys should have them on this show.
They'll get along.
We're in love too.
Yeah, they're great.
Hi, Bonnie, hi, Terry. Hello, guys. Listening to They'll get it off. We're in love too. Hi Bonnie, hi Terry.
Hello guys.
Listening to this when it's released.
But they wrote what?
What we said?
And Lindsay and Lindsay, their daughter.
Their daughter, Lindsay.
Yes.
But anyways, they wrote this thing.
And they talked to me.
I was in my office.
They're like, so remember that I'm from
anything you did.
We came up with an idea for the news.
And they showed it to me.
And I was just so dumb and young. thing he did, we came up with an idea for the news and they showed it to me and I'm so
I was just so dumb and young and whatever I was and I was like, hey, I guess I
guess we could try it that was it was opera man the news that he's an opera man on the
show showing current
I didn't really I was like, no, I'm from him.
Speak gibberish.
That doesn't make any sense.
You don't understand I'm from him.
So then it became a divorceo.
How about it?
You would get in under the fence with Trump and...
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
And it just crumbled.
That was all those guys wrote it.
I got to be it.
They would give me the melodies.
And Cheryl would write a song on it.
But yeah, and they would just give me all the goods
and I mean, it was the greatest gift ever.
That was all wrong.
Got to wear the,
Did you do with Eddie Vetter or not?
You see, sing like Eddie Vetter once, you heard?
I sang like Eddie Vetter.
Was it as a opera man or was something else?
A opera man singing about Pearl Jam, yeah.
And then, yeah, yeah.
And remember when, I think they were even on the show,
Pearl Jam that night.
Yeah, that's right.
But what would he say?
A better, what do you mean, man?
I mean, you got the pipes, kid.
No, you were going, hey, man,
I'm saying we're not sound of an icon, great.
No, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But he's sound exactly like a reaper.
I can't do it now.
I know any better.
It's a certain. What a piece. He's not exactly like him. Hee-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e- Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, because he's got pipes and he's just a funny, so that was a kill. That was amazing. He played your brother or something.
It was Glenn Close and love us,
and maybe they were my parents, I don't remember.
Yeah, yeah.
Remember that, take my kids,
it's all me.
Only on Saturday nights.
Yeah.
That's great.
I could go anywhere, there's so much fun.
I want to ask about when he does bits,
when you get to bring in one of the musical stars.
I think McCartney did read his sweatshirt with you. Oh, that was great. Oh, much fun. I want to ask about when he does bits, when you get to bring in one of the musical stars. I think McCartney did Red Hood's sweatshirt with you.
Oh, that was a great, god damn farly jealous.
I'm so jealous.
You did something with him.
Yes.
I love McCartney.
I just like to perform McCartney hosted.
You weren't there then?
I missed it.
I missed it.
I was a fool.
He was upset, because we'd met at 86 at Lawrence House.
He called me up.
I don't know why you didn't stick around and you know
We could have had a plunk of
Looking looking at each other. I go who is this nobody
I miss that but you got to do a thing. What did you do with Paul McCartney? It was red notice watch shirt. I wrote it
Would Ian Maxson Graham and I forget who else somebody else and we had
you know I had dip dip dip dip and you dip dip dip.
Oh my God.
I said I said it and then as it progressed Kevin maybe Kevin Eeland did it with me and
then I said let's call out Paul and Linda and Paul and Linda McCartney. We wrote a form and then Lauren said, I said, will they do it?
He goes, well, you have to talk to them.
And so I went to Lauren's office, they were eating.
I think they were on the show or they were just visiting.
They were, Paul was the guest.
Okay. And Linda was with him.
You walk in and you have to convince them.
I just like had to come and with the dopey guitar and be like,
I have my heart's pounded through my chest. Did you crawl?
I entered. Did you walk?
The
little skip.
That was when you were going to pitch it. Remember you'd skip across.
No, I'm making that up. So go ahead. So you walk in there. I mean,
I was at Lauren's eating shun Lee,
shun Lee and Paul and Linda.
And Linda's amazingly nice and Paul's amazing nice
and I sing them the little thing.
And they laughed and then I left
and then I was like, I don't know if that worked or not,
but then they said yes and they forever.
I got that saying with them.
Hung out with them after the show.
Hung out Stella was there.
Remember Stella was a kid.
She came to the show.
I thought it was kind of like a party that fashioned design. Yes. there. Emma Stella was a kid. She came to the show. I was telling my carton that fashion design was.
Yes.
And she was such a nice kid.
She was like our age then.
Like whatever we were.
And I, yeah, let's keep the numbers out of it.
I said, I am disciplined as kids.
A long island went over to his house.
And I think James had a little toy sword.
A plastic sword.
He dropped it down in his sister and Paul goes you do that one
more time we're gonna have a problem
oh
yeah
yeah
yeah
I remember some comics that he had a bill he was the first one with a billion
dollars and they go you know if he lost his wallet and a cab and there was
500 million and he'd
still have 500 million dollars.
That was some kind of joke.
But do you remember when Farley's brothers came to the show and McCartney's on that stupid
story where Paul, Paul looked the same as Paul McCartney growing up but he had a little
bit of gray here.
And so Farley's brothers were standing there with red cups.
There was no security.
So, the music comes out of their dress room walks by the
eight-age page desk. You know that and they walk right into the show and they go,
Paul McCartney, one minute till you're on live. And so you see he comes out with a bodyguard
on the front and back and he walks out with his guitar. It's fucking Paul McCartney. I'm
there with Farley's idiot brothers and they're all drunk. And he comes around and they go and one of them goes hey Paul and he looks over and he goes get a little gray and he goes and
he walks out and I go are you an idiot he goes man he looked and then he goes
on the monitor and they're like 15 seconds and he looks in the monitor and he
goes like this he got his head right before he went out and monitor and he goes like this. He got his head right before he went out.
Oh, no.
And you know, he's like, is mine?
And then anyway, so I will say one of my proudest moments,
because sometimes Adam and I would try to write together,
or we would all try to think of excuses
to all be in the same sketch or whatever.
And the one I like the best is the gap girls
when we were in the
that was all David in the mall and then Farley says lay off me. I'm starting the best.
That is one of the funnest ones we ever did and Schneider was in it and Sarah Gilbert was a host
Oh yeah. And we were all that was just the fun for me because we would all just rehearse.
So you know you write it if it gets in,
you laugh, it reads, you laugh, you know,
when we talk about who plays what parts and what we say.
And then you really wrote all that stuff though.
I know, but then everyone adds jokes, whatever you want.
And then we got to do it on,
so you have to rehearse all week or once twice.
Yeah, it gets to be the other rehearsal.
And that's a good reason to hang out is to rehearse.
Yeah, that was amazing.
Does everyone know about the gap girls?
Because there's a young, right? Okay. Is it? Yeah, that was amazing. Does everyone know about the gap girls? Because there's a young man in there.
OK.
Because there's some younger people here.
It was just a sketch where we all worked at the gap.
We played girls, and it was infuriating that.
And how did you talk?
Whatever.
That's right.
Yeah.
I was like, hey, weren't you at the folding meeting?
Yeah, and I went to the gap and studied it.
And they showed up. They put a clipboard in the sweaters
and pulled them out and folded them out.
Yeah.
Mesmerized.
And then they would actually,
this is when you feel kind of like a big deal,
because if you get a sketch on and you're just some
doofus from Arizona, and it's like a dumb sketch
about the gap, and then when they bring the sketches
written and is put up on its feet,
they bring in, they talk to the gap and brought a whole section of the gap over.
So, they had a security guard, because it would cost so much,
it was real pants, real sweaters,
and it was just a chunk of the gap they moved in,
the gap liked it because it was free advertising,
even though we made them all look like morons.
But it was still really fun, and then we all hung out there and would
practice in their rehearse, whatever it's called.
And it was great.
So we did a couple of those.
We did Gaperti, we did Gaperti.
It was just a fun way for me and Farley to be in sketches.
Yeah.
