Largo Theater. And uh I remember. saying farewell on the last late night. show, leaving uh there was a little rap. party, but it was this 28-year run and. then leaving and I flew back east and.

when I'm I think I landed and I think. the next day or something, you called. me. >> Yeah. >> And said that uh I used to call them rub. and tug when they were in utero and you. said rub and tug have arrived. >> Yeah. And um that is now four years. >> It's been four years. >> That's unbelievable. >> Yeah. And we, you know, we have a lot of. family. We have a lot of uh people in. our lives and we have a birthday party. for them every year. And they. >> The first thing Tac did is he found.

>> I just want to. >> My husband, >> your husband, Tac? Yeah. >> He found a clown. >> and he has hired that clown every single. year we've had a birthday. His name is. Gilly the Clown and he's awesome. >> Okay. What makes a good party clown? Seriously, >> first of all, to get the attention of. all these kids and then to hold the. attention is. >> How many kids would you say? >> Uh, yesterday we invited their class, too. I would say there were like 30 35. kids.

>> And what is it that Gilly does that's so. great? And by the way, a shout out to. Gilly the Clown. Uh, where does he what. area does he come from? >> He's a Los Angeles clown. I think his. company is called the Los Angeles Clown. Company. And I think. Don't. >> formerly William Morris Endeavor. >> Sorry guys, I had to do it. >> Oh my god. I think. >> Sorry. Oh, that made me happy. >> I think Tac is like kind of living.

vicariously through The Boys cuz I don't. think they had clowns in the Soviet. Union. So, he's like. >> they did. They were just all in the. pilot bureau. >> Listen, that's a very funny joke if it. were 1986. >> Okay. um that would kill you know around. a bottle of vodka uh in Minsk. >> Um so tell me tell me about what Gilly. does that's so great. >> So he comes he does a whole thing that's. actually funny for parents and funny for. the kids. He does a whole magic thing.

and then at the end he made swords for. all the kids with balloons and then they. went into the bounce house and just. started fighting each other with these. balloon swords, right? And it's he comes. and every year it's always something a. little different. And I think we're. going to just have Gilly until like the. boys are 18. >> I'm thinking about Tac when he was a kid. in the Soviet Union having to wait in a. really long line and his birthday. >> just to get one second with a clown and. it was a cut rate clown. >> The clown was just had a cardboard belt,

some Soviet issued cardboard shoes. >> Jesus. >> And the clown would just bend a balloon. that he had to keep remending. Yeah. And. >> reinflating when it would pop. Former. World War II sniper. >> Yeah, exactly. He's bitter now. Yeah. He. He's like, "I defended Stalingrad. Now. I'm here with these kids.". >> Yeah. Frostbitten toes. They're black.

Coco Podcasts on Instagram to see. >> Yeah. And check out Gilly the Clown. And. it looks like he's throwing a club at. the viewer, >> doesn't it? He is. >> He can do it all. He can juggle. He does. magic. He does like he It's very funny. He does balloon. >> Does he do political stuff? >> What? Like what? I don't know. It' be.

really funny if he was like other clowns. under him. Like sometimes you get like a. a second rate Gilly or something. >> I don't know. You know what? If I hired. Gilly and I didn't get Gilly, I'd be. pissed. >> You got for I agree. I agree. No, he's. the best. And we're probably. >> custom.

We're. using them as. >> What's your problem? >> We're using them as like you got to be. good or else we're not going to open. your present. >> Sorry, I have never heard of that. before. days past their birthday. >> Well, they got their birthday presents. yesterday. And then they came home and.

they were all jacked up on like sugar. and stuff that we were like, "You got to. calm down. We're going to open your. presents tomorrow.". >> Okay, so wait a minute. Wait a minute. On your birthday, the thing that makes. it special is you get all these presents. and you open them up. >> For the fun of it, you don't say, "Okay, these are your presents now. They're. going into storage. They're going into a. storage facility." And uh. >> you're off to boarding school. >> Yeah. We use anything we can to use as. like a like a carrot for the boys. Like.

don't know. It Sometimes it works, but. it didn't work yesterday. >> Of course, it doesn't work. >> No, >> it doesn't work. Happy birthday to the. boys. >> Hey, happy birthday to the boys. That's. the important thing. And Gilly the. Clown, wherever you are, uh you're very. apparently very good at what you do and. I I hope to meet him because he and I. have something in common. We're both. entertainers. And I was a clown at a. birthday party once. >> with my good friend who has since passed. away, a guy that I did a lot of improv. with back uh back in the olden times. Mike Castigola, someone saw us perform. together at a grounding show and said,

"We want to hire you." And they hired us. to play a birthday party. >> Maybe you could team up with Gillian. >> Oh, let me tell you what happened. >> What? >> We didn't know what it was. They they. said, "We want to hire you." And we. said, "We're in." And then it turned out. it was in the park like in Santa Monica. and it was a kid's birthday and these. were little kids and we showed up and we. bombed. We we brought our guitars. We. were trying to like. >> we we I don't remember us even we. weren't dressed as clowns.

>> Um. >> big mistake. >> Yeah, I know. That's the first mistake. But we I don't think we appreciated oh. these are little kids. I think we we. thought oh we can improvise our way out. of anything. No, these were little kids. We didn't know what we were doing. Mike. Cassign and I bombed. And if he were. still with us on this earth, Mike would. would share the story of how we got. nothing. And we walked away gutted. We. walked away gutted. And I. >> I This is your origin story. This is my. origin story. >> Years later, you did a late night show.

with an all children audience. Do you. think that was to make up for this clown. party? >> Possibly. It was another masochistic. need to return to my old feral pain. But. no, so I know how hard Gilly's job is. >> And uh so I'd like to meet the man. >> Yeah, he's awesome. >> He did not bomb. Crushed it. >> Okay. Well, now you're just rubbing it. in. >> Yeah, he crushed it. Kids, >> good for Gilly. Good for Gilly. >> Crushed it. >> Okay. >> I bet he'd be even better at podcasting. >> Oh, yeah. What if Billy then gets a.

podcast and destroys eats our lunch and. then he's on Sirius and his channel is. is the next channel over and destroys. us. >> Just has a podcast called Gilly doesn't. need a friend cuz I have a ton of. friends. >> Yeah, she Gilly is over to my Donny. >> Just totally No one's heard of me again. afterwards. Just disappear. All right, my guest today was a cast member on. Saturday Night Live and starred in the. hit series Brooklyn 999. Now you can see. him in the new movie The Roses and in.

the Comedy Central animated series Dig. Man. Very excited he's here today. Andy. Samberg, welcome. [Music]. >> You're a laid-back dude. Oh man, >> that's what I love about you. >> By the way, sorry I didn't shave, fellas. >> I'm I'm preparing for a roll. >> Oh yeah. >> Yeah. Lazy guy. >> That's lazy guy. >> All right. And then after that I'm doing. beard dude. So I walk in to uh the.

dressing room. We'll call it the. dressing room. It's not really a fair. >> It's just an office. But anyway, I walk. in and you greet me and uh you're. wearing like a nice shirt, >> a button-up shirt, but down below you've. got the sloppiest. uh sweatpants I've seen in a long time. Wow. >> And you were like, "I'm sorry. This is. the harshest I've ever been to anybody.". But and I said, "Hey, man. Come on.". Yeah. You gotta dress up for I think you.

called him the conemeister. >> Yeah. >> And I said, "You gotta, you know, put a. little effort in." You said, "Hey, they. don't shoot from the waist down.". >> I did say it in that exact voice. >> Yeah. You went, "Hey, hey, man. >> Hey, man.". >> And you And then you said, "When's 420?". >> I said, "Yeah, >> but you're obsessive, compulsive about. it." You like, "Let me know when it's. 419.". >> Yeah. Cuz I got to have my tokenage. ready. >> Yeah. And then when I tooke, I got to have. easy rider plan. Yeah,

>> I love an obsessive compulsive 420 guy. But. I got to have everything. All my stuff. has to be lined up. All my has to. be lined up. And the right song has to. be playing. Set the alarm for 48. >> Oh god. I used to do a bit about a Rasta. who um who's like, you know, smoke the. marijuana. Smoke the none for me though. My wife's pregnant. She could go into labor at any moment, but everyone else don't be. But. obviously, I must refrain tonight. She.

could go into labor at any moment. >> I got to be totally focused if that. happens. I got to be with her. We're on. this journey together. I was thinking. about this today. This is totally. random, which means I'm I'm as. comfortable with with this chap as I am. with anyone. This incredible Andy. Samberg. I was thinking about this this. morning on a run. Yeah, you got to get. this uh got to work out to get this bod. I exercised this morning also. So. >> not like me. Any who, um I hired nine. guys to attack me with hammers. That's. what I did. Yeah. Throughout the day. And and my doctor has said this is not.

contributing at all to. >> I hired nine guys to attack you with. hammers, too. >> That's funny. Today 18 guys attack me. with hammers. Mine were for a different. reason. >> Oh, okay. Okay. >> But guys, this is just hard math. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> I was running and it started to occur to. me that the Roxy music song, Let's Stick. Together. Yeah. >> Is the craziest rock song ever because. it's it's one of the coolest, sexiest, you know, Brian Ferry.

vocalist of all time. >> Wow, that was quick. What the hell was. that? What the did you just do? >> What did you just do? Let's call out. Eduardo. Eduardo, what's going on? Maybe. someone else's 420 started. I was. getting ready to queue up the song just. in case somebody here hasn't heard it. before and I accidentally press play on. the last song that I had going on. >> and it was Harry Bellfonte. >> It was I Quebec. It was some jazz. >> Okay. Oh, nice. I like it when I come in. here and you got a little jazz club. going. Always puts me in a bad mood. right away. >> Didn't mean to interrupt your story, >> but I'm running and I'm thinking about I.

liked it. >> It's rock and it's rock and roll. And it. reminded me of a bit I used to do for. Odenkirk uh which is it's a rock and. roll song that uh is all about being. responsible. >> Yes. >> And I it cracks me up because it's the. song is all by you know we've been we. should stick together. It would be good. for the children. You know for tax. reasons it makes sense to expect too. much excitement. This part of our life. is overreaching. Let's stick together.

And it's it's crazy to me and it. reminded me of this thing I used to do. for Oden Kirk which was uh Robert Plant. singer and he's singing about 8 hours. asleep. [Laughter]. >> Don't don't cheat yourself with six. get. your protein in many forms and uh all. the songs have like sick uh you know. leads and stuff like that and it sounds. very crunchy but it's incredibly. responsible and I realized oh it's Brian.

Ferry did that with let's stick together. hit it. >> you prick. hey. so you got this great thing going and. then he's. In the long run, it makes sense. I've. talked to my accountant, you know what I. mean? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Uh anyway, >> tax breaks and whatnot. >> Yeah. Uh let's talk about you and then. more about stuff I thought about on my. run today. >> Okay.

>> You run through the neighborhood. Do you. go to a place? >> No, I run through my neighborhood often. screaming. >> I was going to say I imagine immediately. imagine it like the beginning of the. movie about your life where everyone's. like, "How you doing, Cody? Hey, Conen. Hi, pal. I do this when I see people when I'm. driving around LA and I see people. jogging. I always pretend they're. fleeing. It makes it much really fun. >> I do. I always imagine.

>> What are they running from? >> Yeah. I just imagine them running really. hard and they've been running really. hard for hours from like a monster. Yeah. >> Well, I want to talk about you because. >> Andy Samberg Oh, yeah. I've been. thinking about you today. Is that on. your run? No, >> I think about important stuff on the. run. >> Oh, sorry. >> Um, I was thinking about you because I. think you are. this comedic lynch pin between one era. and another in comedy. That's crucial.

>> I think you were doing. uh YouTube internet comedy before such a. thing really existed. And I think you. and your uh lonely island chums. had and I'm going to call you're chums. We're unequivocally chums. No one's ever. said chums with unequivocally. Um but you guys.

were working on this thing and. perfecting it and before there was the. delivery system and then the delivery. system so comes along. You said you I. think you formed Lonely Island in 2001. >> Yeah. 20201. We moved to LA from. Berkeley where we grew up together. >> Okay. All grown up in Berkeley. Laid-back dude. >> Oh yeah. >> Uh. you were a skateboarder. >> Yeah. I was terrible though. They were. both pretty good skaters, though. >> You were a '9s kid who was obsessed with. 70s music. Yes.

>> Which is really interesting to me cuz I. was a, you know, '8s. guy who was obsessed with 60s music. Yes. >> I went back 20 years. So I was not. listening to whenever people say, "Oh my. god, you so you graduate high school the. early 80s and you head off to college, you must be listening to and they come. up with all these amazing earlym and all. that." I'm like, "No, I wasn't listening. to that. I was listening to all British. invasion stuff.". >> Yes. >> And then I went be and then I drifted. before that and I went into uh.

Sunsession Elvis and all that. And but. you were out of time a little bit. I. mean, I think for kids that are into. music, you go back, >> right? I mean, you you know what's going. on at present, but like now kids are. listening to the 90s. It's all 90s. >> Yeah. >> I I've had a couple depressing moments. with this recently. Like I have Apple. Music, and there's a section in it. called Dad Rock. Uh. >> oh. >> Yeah. >> And it's like bands where I'm like, "They just came out.". >> Yeah.

>> I know those guys. And I'm like, "Oh, right. I'm in my 40s and a dad.". But it hurts. No, they're the. coolest. >> You got to check them out. >> Oh man. What? Dad rock. Not this dad. You, Yorma, Aka, you guys know each. other from Berkeley. Yeah. And you put.

together this thing. I'm going to say. 2001. You say 20201. No. you. 2001. you guys put this start working on this. comedy and it's fascinating to me. because I don't know when YouTube came. along officially. >> um but it's a huge event because I. remember it immediately when the day. someone came into my office. I think it. was Frank Smiley who's a producer. Uh he. came into my office and I'm sure he. produced all your segments on when you.

came on the show over the years, >> but he came in and he said, "It's. insane. Whatever you want, just type it. into this site.". >> Yeah. Yeah. >> And so you would you'd say, I don't. know, I remember seeing a thing on Green. Acres once. >> where suddenly he's in Par. It's like. this he's upside down and he's in Paris. for no reason and there it is. >> and it broke my brain. >> Yeah. But you were crafting this comedy. that I believe kind of changed. many things. And I'm I'm I'm not a.

scholar, so I can't say you alone did. this, but you you guys had a huge impact. because. um Lazy Sunday, Dick in a Box, uh I'm on. a boat, the stuff that you guys were. churning out, I think was the essential. DNA of what everybody's been chasing. >> I mean, >> does that feel to you fair? >> I mean, it feels great to hear. >> Yeah. I I've always thought of it this. way, which is.

like I heard of YouTube the morning. after Lazy Sunday aired. I didn't know. that it even existed yet. And then there. was this big wave of like press. Also, it was the Christmas show, so it like. took it into the holidays, >> which is great because it marinates. >> Yes. And everyone's like, "We're all at. home watching your video over the. holidays over and over again, and. there's no like new SNL episode to wipe. it clean or whatever." Right. Right. >> Uh but it became this wave of press not.

about us but about the existence of. YouTube and about streaming video and. how it was here. It's been this thing. everyone had been talking about. Like. before when we lived in LA, we were. making videos. We were just like trying. to get people that had bandwidth and. websites to upload our stuff, right? >> Like oh man, we might get like posted on. heavy.com or you know like stuff like. that. And you like have to submit it. You send like a VHS tape in and they're. like maybe we'll upload it. Uh, and then. all of a sudden it was like, "Here's. YouTube. Anyone can do it immediately.

It's easy. It's free. And here's the. video that's like the the crest of the. waves.". >> Well, I think the first time I heard. it's gone viral. >> Yeah. >> Was Lazy Sunday. >> Yeah. >> Me. I mean, I'm sure other people had. heard the term, but people were telling. me, "This thing's a monster." And I. watched it. Uh, and I was like, "What? I. don't get it." No, I I. and I was like, I'm going to have him on. what's called a podcast someday and I'm. going to tell him I don't get it. Yeah,

fair enough. >> Yeah, I could always see the future very. well. Couldn't see the present. Couldn't see that. That was really. funny. I say that to myself all the time. when I watch new things. I'm like, I. don't like this, but eventually I will. In time, I'll love it. But uh those. things were those those videos were. events and made so many of them. And. that felt to me as a person at that time.

I had uh was doing my own show but had. written for SNL. And I remember what. when I was at SNL always thinking short. films are the way to go. And SNL had. always done them a little bit, >> but I was always a little frustrated by. live in some ways. And I thought, why. don't we just get it? >> I mean, because all my heroes were it's. Monty Python. It's all this amazing. sketch comedy that has been it's SCTV.

>> where they've got it just right. And. there was part of me that really wanted. to do that. And yes, there had been. short films on SNL, but when you guys. started putting those out, it felt like. you were doing the thing that I had been. kind of daydreaming about in some weird. way. Why doesn't someone do that? >> Yeah. >> Oh, well, I'll go back to bed. >> I mean, it was also. it was also because digital video at. that moment, I just think about how. lucky we were on so many fronts. Like, it was right when YouTube was becoming a.

thing that people are talking about. It. was right when digital video could be. made. Y. >> affordably and look good. >> It also like looked different from the. live show. So it was a nice way to step. out and be like, "Hey, this is our thing. that looks different and feels. different." The same way like the very. first episode had an Albert Brooks film. or something. We were like, "Whoa, what. was that?" That was on film. >> Um so like in the beginning we just. Shoemaker and Higgins who you know. Higgins is still a producer there and. now Shoemaker runs Seth's show. Y.

>> uh. >> they knew we had made videos. Keven. Norman made a video while we were. working there just for fun and they were. like if you guys could do more of these. for basically nothing which is what we. had been doing uh and used the cast like. we're always looking for things to. change over sets basically. >> Yeah. Uh, so it kind of happened very. fortuitously and kind of under the radar. and we did a we did one with Forte. called lettuce where we're eating heads. of lettuce and then we tried another one. that didn't air till later and then the. third one we shot for SNL was lazy.

Sunday and then it was like oh that went. better than we were expecting. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> It's the Oenheimer white flash, you. know, kind of. But I mean uh I think. that specific kind of comedy to me. anyway starts with you guys. >> Uh well that certainly on SNL I think. the pace that we kept in our editing and. stuff you can see that now influencing. the the stuff being done which makes me. so happy because. >> I'm very antsy about my my comedy. I.

want it to just be like. um so but we're all children of Monty. Python. Yes. That's what you're saying. like. >> and Mel Brooks like when I was a kid's. big adventure like. >> those things turned into Spongebob and. they turned into us and they turned into. you know Mr. show and Stella and all the. things that influenced us. >> of like what if it was real life but. really it's just a cartoon and anything. can happen and the world is spongy and. that's what when I was a kid made my.

brain go crazy like Billy Madison, Tommy. Boy, things like that where you're just. like I can't feel happier about watching. something because it just allows me to. disappear into it. >> Right. And there's a I mean music also. an important part. Yeah. Huge music guy. And so. >> obviously Dick in the Box. >> Yes. >> Uh there's a there's a strong musical. component to this stuff. >> Yes. And we also again got really lucky. where it was like Timberlake. like hottest thing in the game being.

like I want to do one with you guys. And. us being like use all of your powers, Justin. You know what I mean? And him. literally being like, "All right, here's. how we're going to do it. I'm going to. stack all my vocals. These are all. harmonies. These are split to the left. These are split to the right." And we. were just like, "Oh my god." like, oh my. god, this is like how he's making the. biggest songs in the world right now. He's applying it to our song we're. writing about sticking your dick in a. box at Christmas. You know what I mean? >> It's like you're in a room with Mozart. >> and he's like, "What do you gentlemen. have?". >> Yeah. Yeah. All right. You ever see the.

movie Diner? >> You're like, "I love it.". >> Oh, so we do this. on the box. >> Yes. Yes. Like, and I'm also here. When you were in college, you did. standup, I think, for seven years, >> which I didn't know. >> Yeah. >> And I'm trying to imagine you doing. standup because. I was in I never thought about doing. standup. I always thought, "No, that's.

not me.". >> I was wondering if you did cuz I think. you would destroy. >> Well, I later on went and did it in. different ways. And of course you you. build that muscle doing a late night. show every night where you're standing. in front of an audience. And. >> yeah, the thing that got me into it was. I wanted to do very silly things. Yes. >> Uh in a late night show and I wanted to. create. an insane world um that was sort of in. the spirit of what Dave had done but. very different which was cartoons. Very.

cartoony like you were saying. And I've. always thought of myself as I'm a. cartoon character. the hair, the name. I. like to be thrown around like a cartoon. character. Yeah, I like to throw people. around like they're cartoon characters. So, um I don't know. You can attest to. that. >> Yeah. No, it's very true. >> Okay, that's enough out of you. >> Okay. Happy to be here. >> You signed a you signed a waiver. >> So many NDAs terms and conditions. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Whatever. >> You own a time share. So, >> Oh, yay. >> Um.

>> it's not a good one. We're way behind in Vegas. >> Yeah. It's a lot of bad news here. >> It's like a time share in Baltimore. >> It's in Baltimore. Yeah. But it's built. >> No shade. No shade. >> We love Baltimore. >> Shout out to Baltimore. >> Hey, Baltimore. >> And you have to stay there 50 weeks out. of the year. >> So behind. >> Yeah. But it's also built as a. Mediterranean bungalow. >> Wow. >> So it's very cold in the winter, but. it's in the middle of the road. Yeah.

>> Come through all the time. Open the door. again. Why? [Laughter]. Stop your suck. It is a scam. So, you find your people first, which. you did. I think I did. I found my. people and then like a Robin Hood. I was. like, "Okay, I got my gang together. Now, we're going to head off on this on. this adventure." Then you find you're. you're you know I'm going to go on my. trip now with my gang and we're going to.

try and accomplish this goal. Yeah. Go. through Sherwood Forest and do. something. And but you got to get the. people first. And that was crucial. And. I think that kind of has to happen in. your early 20s. >> a lot of times if you're lucky. But. >> if you're lucky. Yeah. I mean and before. you have kids cuz it gets way more. complicated obviously. >> or kids that you're willing to. acknowledge legally. >> Yeah. Well, I had all kinds of kids in. the 80s and like what are they up to. now? >> So, David is watching. >> I'm right here. >> Oh.

>> Yeah, he's. >> That's Hello. >> She contacted me and said you do. something with him. >> Yeah. >> Um, >> so he's been here and we fired Sona and. put him on mic. >> Yeah. But then after this after I leave, you're going to like hug him like too. tight and be like, "I love you. so. reminding me.". >> You been creaking. No, >> maybe I've mentioned this, but it's one. of my favorite things for the wrong. reasons, but the Green Lantern movie.

that Ryan Reynolds made. >> Yeah. >> There's a moment where uh the scientist. who ends up being the the bad guy in. that Green Lantern movie. >> Spoiler. Thank you. He uh he has the ability to read minds. and his father's a tough general and the. father comes over to him at one point. and he praises Ryan Reynolds. you're a. great guy. And then you can hear his. voice thinking like, yeah, he's really. great. And then whatever. And he says. goodbye to him. Then he turns to his son.

and he the son says, "Father, well, I've. been working on these experiments." And. he gives him a hug or shakes his hand. and goes, "Good job, son." And then you. hear him, he hears him think, "What a. disappointment.". >> It's literally the like the Joe Montana. sketch. >> Yeah. But it was for real. It will. bother me. >> It's not supposed to be a laugh line. I. laughed. I laughed. I saw it in the. theater. I think some someone was coming.

on from the late night show and I saw it. in the theater and the and the general. hugs um son played by a famous actor. Anyway, Brad Pitt. >> No. Ryan Reynolds. Clark Cable. Um the. little himself, Charlie Chap. Well, I was going to say no, but because. you said the little himself, Charlie Chaplan, it was Charlie Chaplan. Anyway, the idea that that I would hug. my son and go, "Good to see you, son.

What a disappointment.". >> So, I told my son this and I do it with. him all the time. I hug him and I go, "I. love you. What a disappointment." Like. in his ear. >> Um, anyh who, you'll Eduardo, why don't. you just miscue another track? Oh. >> Um, shot. >> She I'm sorry. Shots fired. Yeah. Left and right. Peter Scarsgard. >> Peter Scarsgard. >> No. >> Damn it. >> That's why I didn't say. >> Anywh who, doesn't matter. Okay.

>> Doesn't matter. We'll edit this out. We'll be chopped together. You'll do a. nice little. >> You know who it could have been? Blake. Lively. She was in that. Oh, >> that's right. That's where they got. together or met. Something like that. >> I don't speak on things like that. >> Wow. You're principal. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's their private. life. >> Whoa. And I think you're a little gassy, too. >> You know, you zip your lip, but then. immediately you got to fart. >> Yeah. Yeah. Cuz it's trapped.

>> Nowhere to go but out. >> Yeah. That's That's a good character. The mime who keeps zipping his lips and. then. like, "Oh.". >> All right. So, >> I love mimes. You're on SNL and you. worked very hard for seven years I. think. >> And um and it took a toll because. >> the kind of work you were doing is very. labor intensive. >> The shorts. >> the shorts were really labor intensive.

and then I imagine there's all kinds of. pressure. >> Give us another one of those. It becomes. viral the next day. I mean there be just. be that here. I mean, yes, for the first. five years, we couldn't believe our. luck, you know, they're like, they're. just asking for him now. We have like a. spot on the show every week. >> Uh, but not coincidentally, after five. seasons, Kev and Yor both kind of left. and we're half half working there, half. not. Kev went and made a movie. Yor went. and made a movie, >> and it started getting a lot more.

difficult physically and creatively. >> Yeah. >> And so, by the end of the seventh. season, I was like, I don't think I can. do it anymore, basically. So, I went. back for the 50th and I was in the. audience and really enjoying the show. and then uh I think the three of you did. a short. >> about anxiety. >> Yes. Yes. And I did it with Mike D.Va, too, who's a director there now. >> And it it is it is about. how many people talk about the anxiety. of working on SNL.

>> Yes. Yes. And it's funny because you're. kind of taking a piss out of that old. saw that you know it's like going into. battle doing SNL and the anxiety. involved, but also at the same time. you're honoring that that's it is true. and it was really funny. I loved it. Thank you. Uh. >> yeah, there's a whole section of it. where I start singing if these pipes. could talk because talking about how. everyone who ever worked there gets IBS. basically from stress. Uh, and you know it that video that.

night. >> Yeah. >> Everyone that worked there at some point. was went out of their way to be like. >> that was that was really like. >> that nailed how it feels basically in a. fun hopefully way but also at a great. moment because. >> the 50th. >> it came out beautifully I thought. But. of course, part of the process was a mad. scramble because things have to be I. think there might be some part of Lauren. that likes that. Of course. Also, it's. stressful to be at the 50th. Make no.

mistake. Like, you love it. You wouldn't. miss it. But you're like, it's. everyone who's ever worked here is all. here. And like, who's going to say hi to. me? Who's not going to say hi to me? Who. do I say hi to? This am I going to be in. the show? If I'm in the show too much, do I like what I'm doing? Am I pissed. about that? If I'm not in the show, are. they ignoring me? like there's no. winning when you go back into that cuz. it's such a vortex of everything that's. ever happened there. Uh so I was kind of. hoping it would sort of be in the spirit. of that also. >> Yeah. I think you touched on something. that anyone who's worked there has felt.

and it's it's so strange because people. that so many people enjoy SNL as they. should. They should enjoy it without. knowing what goes into the sausage. >> Of course. >> So they're not supposed to know. No. one's supposed to know. um that that uh. the the level of anxiety that some. people some people manage to do it and. not feel that. >> Yeah. >> Um that's not how I'm built. I always. felt and I was a writer. I was not a.

performer, but just as a writer, I I. felt like there was a gun against my. head all the time. >> It's designed that way. Yeah. It's it's. a pressure cooker. But also like I. personally went through that process and. I still love it the same as when I. before I worked there. >> Yeah. >> Because it gave me everything I had. hoped it would ever give me and I loved. doing it. And so. >> you have to recognize when it's time for. you to leave because you can't. physically do it anymore. >> Uh and if you can do that, I think it's.

fine. I mean, every job is hard. >> Yeah. Like you go to your doctor and. they're all cheery hopefully, but like. they went to med school for like 70. years or something. So like it's. >> it's a job and it's work and you do that. work and your job is to make it seem. like it's fun and just let the fun part. filter through onto the show. >> Yes. I I disagree. No, I disagree. But. >> you disagree and then but say more about. that. >> I just think you're wrong. >> Then you think I'm stupid and ugly.

>> Stupid and ugly. Yes. But I hope that. was implied. Yeah. [Music]. >> It's interesting cuz when you went on to. do the very funny uh longunning Brooklyn. 999, you're working in this format that. I think you and I are similar. You. mentioned it earlier. You kind of want. to make something and have it be out. there pretty soon. And if you're making. a short film or if you're in a sketch or.

I've always loved the world of think of. it and then it happens pretty soon after. you think of it. >> And I struggle in the format of. um I mean I don't even know how people. make movies. I what little I've seen of. it, >> the idea that you would spend years of. your life and not know, you would drop a. nickel and not into a well and not hear. it splash for seven years and then get a. critique and it splashes when you're. busy doing six other things. Yes.

>> That feels very strange to me. And even. the rhythm of doing a Brooklyn 999 would. be very different. >> Yes. >> Than what you got? What you got, kid? What you got? What you got? >> Yes. We got to a point, I mean, in our. first five or six seasons or something, we had like over 20 episodes a season. It's like that old school. >> series order. So, we would reach a point. where we were they were being written. and we were shooting them after the. season had started airing.

>> And when you get into that rhythm, it's. a little more stressful. But you can be. like, "Hey, if I if if I think of this. joke today, it'll be on the air in like. a month, two months, which for a TV show. is pretty good.". >> Yeah. >> The thing about making Brooklyn that I. loved, I mean, there were a million. things I loved about it, but to your. point earlier about doing the digital. shorts at SNL is controlling the edit. >> Yeah. >> And just being like, if a joke is a dud, it's gone. Like the freedom of that. feeling of knowing we're not going to.

expose anyone in our cast. we're not. going to embarrass ourselves and we're. going to make it as tight as it needs to. be or as slow as it needs to be for that. thing. But, uh, something I was really. proud of about Brooklyn 999 is that it. flies. It really just goes and goes and. goes and that's something I really love. personally. >> Yeah. Pacing. And I think of all the. great clips that I watch over and over. and over again from some of my favorite. comedy movies. Whether it's the Marx. Brothers or WC Fields or whether it's.

Peter Cers's Cluso. >> Dude, who's on first? >> I showed my daughter who's on first cuz. I was like, you should know what this. is. >> They are flying. >> Yeah. Abbott and Castello's famous who's. on first routine. And the other thing. you realize about that to be a total. comedy nerd for a second is. what a great straight man means. You. always think of Aban Castello. It's. Castello who's the big, you know, clown. >> And you sometimes think, what's this. straight man really doing? He's just.

saying, now wait a minute. >> Oh, it's the whole thing. >> But he's fantastic. His job is to keep the line tight. >> Yep. >> You know, so that the other person. hanging on doesn't sag. And he What are. you doing? what are you what are you. talking about? You know, it's just that. it's so fast. >> The ball is just in the air the whole. time. It's incredible. And you know, they you can tell they've done it a. million times and that's. >> back then it was much more like you work. your act across the country and then you. put it on tape, you know, which. >> maybe we should be doing more of. It's. pretty incredible when you see those.

performances. It's just a whole. different skill set. >> Yeah. It was a different era when people. would have an act for a lifetime, >> right? Yeah. So you would have your act. and you think about what's happened. because of technology is you can work on. an act for 25 years and then they say. congratulations you've got an you've got. a HBO Max standup special and you do it. and they go great you know you were. nominated for an Emmy but you didn't get. it but anyway uh.

>> who are you talking about? >> No not me not me. No, I know. >> But um but no, what I'm saying is that. it's a quick hit. >> The rush is over. It's a very noisy. world out there. And you just did. something you've been thinking about for. whatever 15 years that you've tested and. tested and tested. And now what else you. got? >> Yeah, it's tonnage now. It really is. I. mean, comedy has always been that a. little bit. >> You're only as funny as the last thing. you did. >> What if we had that principle on this. podcast, but it was about the last thing. you just said, >> right? Well, the last thing I said was.

pretty serious. >> I know. That's what I'm saying. You're. not funny right now. >> Ironically, not funny. >> Yeah. So, in this second, you're not. funny until you say the last thing, >> tomatoes. Now I'm funny. >> Now you're really funny. >> Yeah. >> I'm almost like scared by how funny you. just got. >> Yeah. You're now still not funny. And if. I'm still speaking seriously, >> if I'm being serious and it's not funny, trigger warning. I have to kill myself. >> That's the rule of your podcast. There's. a little room we have in the back where. >> Well, yeah, like.

>> a glass room. >> Glass room so that we can watch you do. it, >> right? And there's like a samurai sword. in there. >> No, it's autoeronic situation. >> Oh, damn. >> Yeah. >> See, now this I could get into. >> Are you a happy chap now? You seem like. a very happy fellow. >> I'm pretty happy. >> Were you always pretty happy? >> Always pretty happy. >> Damn it. >> I know it's annoying. It's a struggle to. work in comedy as a happy chap, which I. will now only refer to myself as that.

>> You're a real happy chappie. >> I feel like your SNL generation was the. last one that was kind of like it was. still kind of intense and gritty. Am I. wrong? >> It's possible. I don't know. the stories. I hear both firsthand from people and. like on things like podcasts and stuff, documentaries, which I have watched all. uh it seems like it was a little more. like competitive and kind of grindy. >> Yeah. Yeah, it was definitely that when. I was there and then I have I have to.

credit Sandler for I'll never forget we. were, you know, I got to think of. something. It's got is this good enough? Uh I had something last week but I don't. know if I have anything this week. It's. it's late. I don't think I'm can write. comedy. I don't think I have I used to I. used to call my girlfriend at the time. and say, I think I can't do this. And. she'd be like, well, you know, quit. then. Um, that was fun. Anyway, I was like, >> I was dating the Tasmanian Devil. >> I was like, where'd you go, Cody?

>> Sorry. Passed out for a second. You're a. terrible lover. What. does it ever get erect? What? Please, those are just made up quips. Um, but I was in that state of mind and I. think, you know, Smiggle and Odin Kirk. and Greg Daniels were like, "It's life. or death." And it feels like that's kind. of how everyone feels. And then this guy. named Adam Sandler showed up one day and. he's like, "Gabby," and he kept talking.

about, "Let's go get a milkshake. Oh, milkshakes are good." And he, "Oh, I had. strawberry. It was very good." And I. just thought, "What?" And he was like, "This is so much fun to be at SNL. Oh, I. love it. I love it. I love it. I love. it. Yippee." And he had that, "I'm going. to do Opera Man. I'm going to do this. I'm going to do that. This is great, guys." And um and then I remember he. came out with a movie and when it was. the movie was uh premiering, he got he. rented a big bus with all of his friends. that made the movie and they drove.

around and they got little shakes out. and then they went to the premiere and. people recognized Adam and he was very. happy. And you just this is how it this. is a possibility. You can like this. >> I mean it's. >> why not? >> It's just your childhood, right? Like I. guess so. >> I think he's just came out that way. And. by the way, obviously he's a huge. inspiration to me. And when I saw him on. SNL, >> it was him on SNL and Jim Carry on. Living Color were the first times when I. was younger where I was like, "Oh, maybe. I could do comedy.".

>> Oh, yeah. >> Not to take away from how incredible. they both are. like I'm not talented. specifically how they are at all. But it. felt so like for me your show as well. frankly where I was like oh it's coming. now that what I really specifically like. is successful. >> Yeah. >> And perhaps now there's a path for me. Like I think it is that one to one. I. think sometimes real silliness used to. be discounted somewhat, >> but then I've always had that theory.

that no, no, it's I just love things. that are incredibly silly. >> Yeah. >> Uh I'll use the word stupid, but then if. it's really good, it's because there's. some little piece of intelligence in. there somewhere that I can't explain. >> I mean, or maybe not. >> Imagine me explaining to my parents why. like I'm under the table guy is like. >> genius, right? Because it is. cuz he's. off the whole Enterprise. >> Like it's he's he's continuing like. Steve Martin and like and Monty Python.

we keep talking about, but like. >> the whole feeling of like I think. certain people who love comedy are born. into this world and we were like. >> I have a question. None of it makes. sense though, right? Like it's all a. weird cosmic joke cartoon, right? And. I'm not like alone in that, right? And. then when you find other people that. share that feeling and funnel it into. laughing and enjoying themselves Yeah. >> it feels like a gift from God. You're. like, "You made it to Hogwarts." Yes. You know. >> Yes. That is exactly how it feels. Um, by the way, the most irresponsible.

school to send your children to was. Hogwarts. Say more. >> Well, thank you. If only I had a mic and a podcast. Could you imagine sending your kids to. Hogwarts and they're killed in a massive. battle? >> Also, like. >> that happens all the time. like I think we should send him back. next year. >> Yeah. Did you know that 11 kids died. playing Quidditch this year? People are. constantly imperiled and dying and and.

and I think and the school has to. publish these facts. They do have to put. it out there. >> I'm just saying I watch that all the. time. >> This is standup. You imagine getting an. email from Hogwarts in the summertime. >> We promise Voldemort's not going to be. there next year. I know some of the parents were. concerned. Voldemort showed up, killed. hell of kids. We have taken care of it. We assure you our school counselor has. talked to them.

>> You're just like, "Oh man.". >> Yeah. Yeah. Okay. He did come back. this time. He's like a squishy little. like widget underneath. 400 kids died in. a great battle that destroyed most of. the school. and puts any mass shooting to shame. by its sheer scale. But anyway, we could. use money this year for our library. We. heard there was a dementor in your. child's dorm room. That's a we're going.

to give you a 20% discount on that, >> right? That's a Should we do a. standup special? >> I think you and I should do a standup. special. >> Um, we'll talk about the money. >> Okay. I assume 9010 split. You take the. 90. >> I get the 90. >> Yeah, cuz seniority. >> Well, not just seniority. >> Height. >> Height. But also. >> quality. >> Quality. I'm Catholic. >> More famous. >> No, I don't think that.

>> I do. Um, but anyway, I feel like now. you're working because of everything. you've done and this is how I what I'm. happy for you about is that I did all. these things that I'm very happy about. and then I find these things that I. don't even know what they mean to people. anymore, but I enjoy doing them. It's. fun. >> and I love that. And um, as long as the. rent's paid, I'll do the fun stuff now. Yes. And I really do look at these. younger generation of comedians and I'm.

just delighted this stuff when I see. good stuff it makes me very happy. I. don't feel God damn it. >> Agreed. >> Well, they were sucking the lifeblood. from me. But you get to do these things. now like uh this animated series Digman. >> Yes. >> Um which is a really funny idea because. you grew up on. >> Indiana Jones. Indiana Jones. >> and the Mummy and you know. >> this notion that archaeologists are like. the. >> national treasure. >> Yeah. Like. >> the coolest people.

>> in the world and it's just a universe. where you're just you are told to accept. that. Yes. >> Where you're like archaeologists? Whoa. >> Yeah. >> So yeah, me and my friend Neil Campbell. wrote a whole show where that's. basically the world where like. archaeologists are the biggest. celebrities. >> And you know what I love is that uh we. all accepted it. I mean when you know. I'm quite a bit older than you. I got. two decades on you. And I remember when. Indiana Jones came out and and never for. a second thought, not for a split second.

did they think, wait a minute, archaeologist, they would show him. teaching at school and then um going out. around the world and it was the most. exciting thing in the world. And. when I knew that you were coming on, I. thought and we were going to talk about. Digman. I thought it's just so funny to. me the idea of you could take footage of. real archaeologists doing what they. really do, but put the Indiana Jones. theme to it. And it's people just looking at. geological maps.

>> Oh yeah. for years to try and look where. maybe the fault came together and there. used to be a river cuz that and then. slowly digging but being very careful. >> Little brushes. >> Yeah, little brushes. But then. >> the local government has asked you to do. a stay because they want to examine what. you're doing more carefully. So they. shut down the site. You respond with legal letters. Now the site's been reopened. Just more. slow dusting.

[Music]. and then lifetime over. Never really. found anything. Roll credits. Credits. Really long credits. Like there. were tons of stunts. >> Just lots of stunt men that you never. saw proof of in any way. >> And he died. It's real. It's real. I. mean, some of them, I'm sure, are. swashbuckling and adventury. Your. character? >> Yes. The voice.

>> Rip Dman. The voice. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. It might sound familiar to some. I'd like to hear a little. >> Well, it sounds a little like this. >> Yay. I'm happy. >> Mine are my favorite impressions of all. time. >> Oh, you're the best. >> No, no. Seriously, you're the First of. all, I love him. I adore him. >> Oh, he's the coolest. >> I And I say this, if this gets back to. uh Nicholas Cage, I adore him. I my eyes. are never off him when he does anything. which I think is proof that he's doing.

something right. >> Yes. >> But that voice. >> your impression is fantastic. >> Thank you. He came on SNL and did it. with me which I know is like an SNL move. but if I really had to think about one. moment that I had live during that show. it that was my favorite moment of the. whole time. It was probably when he came. and did that with me. And were you at. all self-conscious about doing it with. him or did it immediately just turn into. I'm we're playing together. It's fun. >> Kind of the latter. I mean, I obviously. didn't want him to hate me cuz I respect. his work so much. And like the reason I.

have an impression is cuz I've watched a. thousand hours of Nick Cage, you know? It's like embedded in me somewhere, but. I didn't even think to do it. It was. like uh I think like Emily Spivey or. someone wrote me into a sketch as Nick. Cage and she's like, you know, Sam Bear, can you do Nick Cage? I was like, I. don't think so. But then I tried it and. I was like, I guess I can kind of do it. And then I kept doing it on update and. it was just so fun. And he was the. nicest when he came and he went so. ham live. Like. >> of course. >> we did it addressed and he was like good.

and we were like this is going to work. and then on air he just like went all in. and like did the nice thing of like I'm. going to do. >> how you do the impression, you know, so. it like feels crackly and fun like that. It was just a joy. >> He did uh we used to do a horse on our. late night show called Kloppy. Mhm. >> And Kloppy was a horse. The conceit was I'd go like, "Hey, it's. time to visit our friend Kloppy." And. then there was like a children's theme. and this horse would with a big fake. head would look through the window and.

go, "Hi, I'm Kloppy." And I would talk. to Kloppy and um Kloppy would always say. very depressing things and then wander. off and you hear a gunshot. >> Yeah. And a and a fall. And I go, "Oh. no, Kloppy killed himself." And Clappy. would come back and no, I didn't. And. then there was always a very tortured. explanation for what the gunshot and the. fall was all about. And he kept doing. that and um that was and we would go out. with the song too. >> And then I had Nick Cage on once. completely unrelated. We had him on as a.

guest and he's talking and he just said. at one point I like Kloppy and with his. Nick I mean you can do it better than I. can but he said I like you. I like. Kloppy. You can do it for me. I I really. like Kloppy. >> And he did it with a big smile. And I. became obsessed when the interview was. over. I said, "The next time we do. Kloppy, I want this the when we play the. song, it's Clappy. I want a little. circle wipe to come up of Nick Cage's.

head going ha Clappy for no reason and. then go away." And that was the magic of. doing that kind of comedy was they went, "Okay." And then the next time we did. Kloppy, it it had a Nicholas Cage. endorsement. So, right just as a little. head, >> but of course he got it immediately cuz. he liked Kloppy cuz he's the best. >> Yes. >> I like the horse that comes in with the. happy song and then you think maybe he. killed himself. cuz that's funny. You know, he's.

like, "Yeah, man. It is tough.". >> Uh, I also want to give a shout out to. The Roses, which is I mean, talk about. this cast. in this movie with Benedict. Cumberbatch and Olivia Coleman. This is. one of those things that you have to. have a moment of. >> I'm sorry I was doing really weird. on the internet. >> 25 years ago and now I'm with two of the. best actors in the world. >> Truly. >> in a film. >> Yeah, in a movie. Jay Roach directed it. Uh me and Kate McKinnon play a married. couple who are friends with them. It's a.

a remake of War of the Roses but really. more of a reimagining. Yep. >> Um, and it's written by Tony McNamera, who wrote like The Great and The. Favorite and Poor Things and stuff. So, >> uh, is there an intimidation factor. there? And it's okay if there isn't. You. don't have to say there is. >> Um, I'll say this, SNL breaks you out a. little cuz you deal with everyone and. you realize like, all right, everyone's. just people. It's just, are you that. crazy of a fan that you get a little. nervous? Which I did. Um, I did a movie.

a couple years ago with Kate Winslett. and it was a straight drama and after. going through that I was like well at. least this the roses is comedic and I'm. supposed to be funny in it. So I was. relaxing in that way. I was also paired. with Kate and that was very comfortable. for me. >> but I'm not unaware that I'm like in I'm. in a scene at one point with. Cumberbatch, Olivia, and Alice and. Janney and it's just the four of us and. it's like a big scene. It's like. >> and the ghost of Lawrence Olivia. >> Yeah. here. Like seriously,

>> yeah. Yeah. Like Yes. Honestly, like. Daniel D. Lewis is like, "Mind if I pop. in, get the out of here. I'm trying to memorize my lines. Get the. out of here.". But it's you start and you're nervous. and you're like, "Oh, here comes that. day. I know that day." And then you do. it and as soon as you do a couple of. takes and it's working and it's really. funny, too, which I just know is what I. do.

nine lines or something. >> Oh yeah. I mean, she was banging around. doing stuff and being really funny.

Um, >> and Cumberbatch was funny because I used. I played a detective on Brooklyn 999, obviously co-created by Dan Gore. And. uh, Dan Gore, a former writer of mine.

>> Well, it never happened for you, did it, Dan? Conan, uh, Brooklyn 999 was a huge hit. People love that show. Shut up. Sorry, I'll do all the voices if I have. to. >> That's fine. It's like a radio play. It's good. Uh, but anyway, when I would. have like a big case solve monologue on. Brooklyn 999, I would often say, "Everybody stand back. I'm about to. start cumber batching. >> because of uh Sherlock." Yeah. And no.

one speaking of speed which is my fave. thing I keep telling doing like fast. dialogue perfect diction tons of thought. in going into every line taking you. through this journey of like Sherlock. Holmes is solving this crazy intricate. thing. He was like when it came to the. detective stuff that was my northstar. >> Yeah. >> Where I was like the look and feel. should be McNelte from The Wire and the. speed of the solves should be Sherlock. >> Yes.

Uh, and he and I got an email. being like, "Dress code, this and that.". I was there shooting the roses and I. didn't have any like nice pants with me. So I was like, "I got black jeans.

khakis on the table. And they're like, "Yeah, whichever one's fit." And then. left. And I was like, "I guess I'll get. into my underwear.". So, I change out of my jeans into the. Wimbledon khakis. They're not a nice. fit. No, not a flattering fit. >> Not flattering. I'm not a khaki guy at. this point.
