Hey, I hope you guys enjoyed today's episode.

Murdles got her little B and she's sitting here, you know, upset that I'm

podcasting.

My dog is upset that my attention isn't on her.

Awesome episode today with Bobby Moyan, who I've been a fan of for a long

time. And I'm a bigger fan of after hanging out with him on my couch.

The guy fucking rules and he's hilarious.

I am on the road.

We'll see you on the road and enjoy the episode.

I try not to talk over him too much.

I really did try not to talk over him.

I get excited.

I just get really excited, dude.

30 rocks, one of my favorite shows of all time.

Amazing.

I think I've probably watched it nine or 10 times front to back.

Yeah.

And the thing I've learned about being a standup comedian in New York City and bumping

into Tracy Morgan is that they nailed, however they tracey Jordan.

There's no difference.

Yeah.

And then the new show coming out, I was like, it was the same crew as 30 rock and you.

And I was like, this is got to be awesome.

Very lucky boy.

Yeah, it's nuts.

It's it's up and Daniel Radcliffe.

Yeah.

And Daniel Radcliffe.

Was there ever a moment where he was Tracy Morgan and you guys did like the look

to each other like, oh, I have a file on my phone, a notes file on my phone

with like 1500 different things.

Tracy has just said, yeah, that's incredible.

Yeah, me and Daniel, me and Daniel just like, he'll say something.

And I'll just see like a crowd of people.

And I'll just see Daniel going, he's just looking for me to see.

If I, if I am typing, yeah, because we, yeah, we have a vast, we have a vast,

vast, uh, he's doesn't stop a sound bites.

No, I think one thing that Tracy knows about himself is that he, if he says

something insane, it will get a laugh.

And that is like a superpower of his like one of like, he just like, people

want to see him say, create the very first thing when I saw him in person was, he

hosted SNL and Lauren's door opened, I'll know because it was like a cartoon.

Lauren's door opened and he was just standing in the middle of the room with his

arms like this.

And he went, the dark horse has returned.

Like it's just that.

Like it's just like no one in the, no one in the world gets away with that

besides Tracy Morgan, like that kind of an entrance as a human.

Yeah.

And, uh, there's, I don't, I don't think there is a person on earth who makes a

crazier first impression with anybody.

Well, you just, you just go like talking to Tracy, you immediately understand the

sentence of like Lauren saw something and that's something works.

And it absolutely works.

It's hilarious.

One of the, one of the first times I ever saw him in person was right when I moved

to New York, uh, there used to be a laugh factory in Times Square.

And I was doing check spots.

So I was like doing the shittiest spot on the show, not doing well.

Wanted to go outside and smoke a cigarette on eighth avenue because I just

bombed and I swear to God, this is 100% true.

I'm standing eighth avenue right by Port Authority.

It's one of the busiest avenues in New York City.

Smoking a cigarette net is here.

It's a yellow Lamborghini and it pulls up and all I hear is y'all type of

picture with you and it's Tracy Morgan and eighth avenue gets out of the

giant.

But he gets out and takes, he's, he's still had his low jack on.

So he wasn't driving and he goes, I can't drive because of the low jack.

But I'll take a picture with you and he's standing there on eighth avenue

and people are coming up just taking photos and then he just, he, and they went,

are you doing a show up here?

You didn't even realize he pulled over in front of a comedy club.

I, he looked up and now in the left, you'd be surprised how many people have

stories about him hanging out of a car and screaming something at it.

It's, it's truly like everyone is like I was in a car.

I was on the street and he was hanging out of a car and it's always the same thing.

It's always, he was always like in a vehicle hanging out of it.

But also the best thing, like the only way to explain knowing Tracy Morgan is

this shooting in Westchester County.

My hometown, we're really, we're really my hometown.

We're shooting in my hometown where I grew up and a woman comes running over

as we're shooting and goes, Tracy, Tracy, we're in the middle of a take.

We're outside.

We're at like a, like a deli in white planes.

And I used to work at white planes.

I worked at the Pizzeria Uno on Central Avenue.

Go check it out.

Yeah, go pick up a pizza and say, you know, Bobbi, really miss them all.

And a woman comes running over in the middle of a take and goes, Tracy, Tracy,

and everyone's mad and goes, like, cut and he goes, it's okay.

This is Jerry Seinfeld's wife.

It was not Jerry Seinfeld's wife.

He just makes up credits for being a woman from Westchester.

No, that's dumb.

That's Jerry Seinfeld's wife.

He gave her a hug.

She was like, Tracy, he was like, it's so good to see you.

She was like, it's, I don't know.

Like she was trying to explain to him that it wasn't,

it wasn't her, it was, it's just perfect.

That might be the most brilliant move of all time, which is to out crazy.

Someone who's crazy.

So they come at you and you just go, she tried to explain to him that she was not

in fact, Jerry Seinfeld's wife.

She was just a fan, but she even she bailed halfway through and was just like,

everything's great.

I'm just happy to meet you.

He's leaving.

Say hi to George Costanza.

That's not a real, it's not a real person, Tracy.

He came in with it.

He might want another great one was just standing there and he goes,

you know, I just date Michelle Obama back in high school.

And this is why you guys are doing a test.

Or like, Tracy, do you know Morgan Freeman?

He's like, yeah, no Morgan Freeman.

And then his assistant goes, he doesn't.

Do you, is that the most overworked assistant in Hollywood?

Is that guy going around going, he actually devastated Michelle Obama?

I often ask him, I'm like, so what was your last night?

Like, yeah, like just out of curiosity, but he's the best.

Tracy's insane, but in the best way, it's so fun, possible.

He's like a gigantic beating heart, who's just throwing out fun.

It's never been, it's the way to live.

I've never witnessed his crazy and it hasn't been funny.

I correct.

And just, I saw this sentence this morning, it was either Robert or Tina.

Somebody asked Robert or Tina what, what, what, what it was about Tracy.

Yeah.

And it was the best sentence I went like, that's it.

It was a, he's just so happy to be alive.

And it's just, it's true.

Everybody completely true.

He's just like every moment is, he, he just, everything goes through the filter

of like, but what if I was also playing a boom box right now?

He came in to the comedy seller on a Sunday night, probably around his Sunday nights.

What's dead? It's like 10 p.m.

Yeah.

And he just comes in the olive tree cafe, takes his shirt off and goes, I'm born.

Everybody drinks.

I just found out Roberto Clement takes my biological father.

And then he slapped his belly.

He just came of the 1,500 things and with the things is my biologic.

It was great.

There were a lot of people, a lot of people are his biological father.

Barack Obama was his brought biological father, mathematically, impossible.

Tracy, I couldn't have been your father, I was, we're the same age.

He often says, Flip Wilson is his biological father.

You do a fantastic flip.

Well, I never know my flip.

You queued me up for a flip.

I always do, I always do, but because when you, when that happened, when I was,

but he also claims he goes, Flip Wilson died with no money.

And I don't know if that's true to Wilson.

The family's like, he was, he was a, he was a grossly, a good investor.

He actually invested in a boy, a terrible, he's got a library.

Can you look on Thomas money enough?

I'll have cash.

He was, no, no, no, he's also not dead.

They bays, they base Scrooge McDuck on Flip Wilson, swimming through his money.

Yeah.

He, the biological father thing is just like, uh, it's like a set up.

He knows if he said it's, it's, it's, he, he's great at being Tracy Morgan.

Because the belly slapped him.

He was what sold it for me because he said it.

But then he did like no one was listening.

Like he just set it for the room and then he just went like that on his belly.

Because that's, because like, you know, because like that's what made his mom laugh when he was a kid.

Yeah, just a belly slap and that's it.

Like that's it.

And he just knows it.

And he just still does it because he's the best.

The, um, that's why I always one of my favorite 30 rock episodes is where they're doing the boys and girls club commercial.

And they have to do the skateboarding and everything.

And then they got, they're like filming it all day.

Cause Tracy's like, oh, I'm supposed to go now.

And the guy's like, ah, this is so perfect.

I shouldn't admit this in a podcast.

Like I kill people.

No, I don't know what this man will do smelling.

I go out there, I'm like, Bobby said some stuff that I don't know what it was.

No, I ever since the show came has come out online like the last couple days.

I have watched it a couple times.

Yeah.

But mostly because like Tracy's just line readings are so like insane.

Like it's like, there's only one person that can read them that way.

Or like, he'll just add, he, he does this thing with Daniel.

It's not in the script.

I don't think it's in the script.

I should Robert Tina or brilliant.

I don't think it's in the script.

He does this thing with Daniel where like Daniel will say something.

He'll just like, he'll, instead of saying like calm down, he'll calm down, dude.

And he'll just call him dude.

But like every dude gets like a little bit longer and more.

So you'll be like, dude, and it's just, it's killing me.

It's just even the way he speaks.

He just throws so much Tracy into it.

I mean, to put together that team for the, for the rise and fall of, and in what I love

the ball and rise, okay, I have to remind myself, the fall and rise.

It's the fallen rise of Reggie Dinkins.

I have to keep reminding myself to because when I heard they were making it, I think

every 30 rock fan was like, what, what, and then adding you and Daniel Radcliffe.

And we're like, what, it was great.

It's just like, it's nuts.

I haven't watched for a step.

So because I want to watch the full season 30 rock style.

Interesting.

Yeah, I'll take that.

I'm, I'm a huge, I'm telling you, like the way that I, because 30 rock, I think,

I can't just play them in the leave of the room right now.

I'm gonna do that six times.

Okay. Oh, I'm gonna stream it on my phone.

You're gonna, if you came in here and be like a boiler room, there's no furniture.

It's just a bunch of phones set up.

I have a, I have a Reggie Dinkins farm in my, going on.

And I have a bot farm, imagine setting that up and being like, go.

All right, season two.

Here we come.

God, we're getting green lit.

We're in a green lit for six.

You're not going to believe this.

We had 33 billion viewers.

We're getting like a Lucasfilm deal.

And they're buying a whole universe.

There's a Reggie Dinkins universe.

The figures coming out, we have a video game.

Was that like a, was that a cool moment where you're like, I get to play like his,

you're playing essentially his best friend from the NFL?

Yes, I, we were team, I was, I was the kicker.

Uh, uh, uh, we've been best friends since childhood.

We, or no, no, no, since, uh, since we were on the team together and, uh,

I live in his basement now, yeah, as he, and I run his social media.

Did Tracy ever call Daniel Radcliffe Harry Potter?

Yeah.

I mean, like, I wonder, the reason I asked that question is, how do you curve that?

How do you go, Tracy, in this world, it's not Harry Potter.

It's so weird, because like I come from a world where it's like SN, we talk about SNL a lot,

no matter what.

I mean, it always comes back to SNL, but with him, it comes back to Harry Potter.

Like, what I do is I like to count how much time I'm with Daniel before it comes up.

Oh, yeah.

Like, because like, sometimes it's a, like, 10 seconds, sometimes it's a day,

but it's like, it always comes up.

Yeah, it's almost like a condition.

Really? Like, like Harry Potter's flaring up.

Well, like, yeah, there's like three people in the world.

I feel like that have to deal what he has to deal with.

It's like him, Mark Hamill.

Yes.

Like, there's a couple of people that are real life wizard superheroes.

Yeah, I would also probably, and there's, but like Mark Hamill's face is not,

I went to the mall recently with my daughter, and every single store we went into,

I saw his face on something.

Yeah.

Daniel Radcliffe.

Yes.

Yeah, because Mark Hamill.

Mark Hamill.

Mark, yeah.

You go, Hamill is everywhere.

Well, I mean, like, it kind of is, it kind of is, but like Harry Potter more so,

like we, well, well, Harry Potter is our, it is a younger generation Star Wars.

Correct.

Basically, Harry Potter, the entire franchise, took the page from Star Wars,

and it was like, oh, we'll just do this with wizards.

I've never known a stuff before.

And they just go like, oh, yeah, put the merch, but there were no stock.

There's a Harry Potter store.

There was never like a store.

There's a Harry Potter land.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

There's like an amusement park.

It's so much bigger.

You immediately realize how amazing his parents are, or must be, because he is just such a,

I go like, I go home like, man, he's just deals with everything.

Wonderful.

Everything.

It really is amazing.

It's almost like when you see these World War II veterans that you're like, and you're

just a normal guy and they go, yep, came back, fought the Nazis, and then I started a family.

And you know, nope, nope, he has the, yeah, like none, you're in the, I want to, I want

to grab him by the shoulders sometimes and go also like, relax and be a kid and have

some fun.

Like just go do something silly, please.

Let's go run around, stop producing amazing things from one second and go around the

grass.

Can you be kind of an asshole for a little bit?

Like spill a bottle of shampoo.

Can you do one thing off, could you, I mean, with you with the SNL stuff, when you left

was there a feeling of like, I don't want to talk about it all the time, where people

like, bringing it up to you in a way that you're like comfortable, they're still, you always

want to navigate this amazingly cool thing that you wanted to be in your whole life,

then you got to go there, you were, it's like going to space camp and then when you get

done, you're like, okay, do I never talk about it?

And be cool.

You don't want me to talk about every second of it, you know what I mean, like, it's

one of those food tastes like a thing, it tastes so different, it tastes so different.

But I really, I mean, I think you did, I think you're a guy who, it like came on, which,

I mean, I knew about you at UCB when I would go like, see you do like, ask cat and stuff

and you were phenomenal.

Katie was like, one of the, she was sure as interviews I ever did.

She was very mad that she was not here.

She's at work right now.

You're on garbage time.

Yeah.

And she was like, tell Bobby that he was the greatest interview I ever had.

But that was also like, and I think about that, that was also like one of the first ones

I ever did.

Like it was like, I remember like, she was brand new and I remember going like me too.

Like, and she was great.

Yeah, absolutely.

And she says that to this day, she was like, one of my favorite interviews I've ever

done.

Yeah, it was a blast.

And she brings that up.

She was like, garbage time was new.

He didn't need to do it.

But I don't think she was as you were new at SNL, so there was like this brand new.

Yeah, I remember going home and being like, that ain't so bad when you got to do those

things.

You know what's funny is she was, she said it like an old friend.

She had her keys in her hand today.

She was living with her person.

And she goes, ask him if his head still gets hot for meeting Sour Candy.

She knows me well.

I went, okay, almost this has her fiancee.

You go.

What?

She said that.

And she's like shuffling her keys in her hands.

She goes, ask him if Sour Candy still makes his head hot.

Here you go.

What is this?

I can't see the leaves.

I'm going to work.

I'm going to work.

I'm going to work.

I say things.

I shouldn't say immediately.

Yeah.

Meet people.

Say, if I eat anything, like if I have Sour Patch Kids, love Sour Patch Kids.

They're great.

Blueberry Sour Patch Kids, specifically.

Very good.

But if I eat them, you sweat.

The top of my head, down, starts here, just starts to like, I can feel it.

Like I get hot.

I start to get a little sweaty.

Whenever I have Sour Candy, do you have to like, eat it at home.

My temperature rises from the top, starting down.

I can't explain it.

I can make it happen if you give me Sour Candy.

You can just go.

Here we go.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

It's probably some kind of medical condition.

There's a doctor right now that's like, this is on in their office.

Don't eat that.

Well, it's probably like, I'm allergic to some sort of red dye, number blank or something.

Oh, so it's the blueberry ones that specifically.

No.

It's Sour Candy.

Just in general.

It's Sour.

I love Sour Candy.

But you do love it.

Yeah.

What a curse.

Yeah, it's like people who are lactose intolerant, but still drink milk anyway, because dessert's

great.

It's great.

My friend, Daniel K. Isaac, who I did billions with.

Not a real person.

He's a real person.

No, I'm just kidding.

He's a real person.

I don't know.

I'm just kidding.

He's a real person.

He's a real person.

He's a real person.

I don't know.

He's a real person.

He's a real person.

He's a real person.

He's a real person.

He's a real person.

He's a real person.

Like, hey, I got a van Lüwen's truck to come by, and like, like a cyanide capsule.

You would always have a lact-Aid bag, and you'd be like, I'm ready for him.

And drop it and you'd be like, bring on the dairy.

And you're like, I get that, loving something, but it gives you.

Yeah.

Have you ever done Sour Patch Kids in popcorn at the movies?

I'm not an animal.

I'm just kidding.

I have done Sour Patch and popcorn.

I'm just kidding.

I have done Sour Patch and popcorn.

I saw this.

I saw Sour Patch kid ice cream and Target once, first of all, at Target, buying any food

at Target.

Yeah, I don't care that you're a grocery store now.

That's where I had to buy my knock-off jankos in middle school.

I saw Sour Patch kid ice cream and I got it just to see what it was.

It was lemon-flavored ice cream with Sour Patch kid, like the only way I can explain it is

like Sour Patch kid gel, like a jelly swirl that felt like as if they had melted Sour Patch

kids and then squeezed them out.

Which does sound fun.

It was delicious.

It was delicious.

But the gel was delicious, but the ice cream, I didn't love it.

But the whole thing and the box and the fork.

I'm just kidding.

Yep.

I wouldn't be a scientist unless I asked you this.

Did the ice cream make you?

Did the ice cream make me sweat this much?

No.

No, not as much.

Now come to think of it.

No, but it might have been because the ice cream was cooling me down at the same time.

I might have found the- I might have found my-

This is it.

This is your Hureka moment.

This is where you look.

That's how I got to intake sour stuff through ice cream.

You don't know.

Cool it.

Cool it at the greatest temperature we can.

I just have to enjoy my desserts and I will walk in freezer.

Yeah.

Where's Bobby go?

Well, the right-

He's the real Udo he used to work at in the closet.

The fallen rise of vegetables was so successful.

He bought his own walk-in cooler.

Strickly for sour stuff.

He just eats it in there.

Yes and else stuff.

I feel like that-

I also have to mention hoppers too.

Oh, hoppers looks great.

That's it.

Go check out the new movie hoppers.

If you put my mind inside of a beaver, I wouldn't build the dam.

I wouldn't build the dam at all.

But Bobby voices the character King George.

So go check out hoppers in theaters now.

Thank you for saying that.

And watch the fallen rise of Regidincans on Peacock or NBC.

Is it on both?

It's on both.

It's on both.

You know how it is, everything.

Watch it on a phone computer.

Watch it right there on a plain no headphones.

Everybody listen to it.

When you left SNL, because I think everybody who's ever been in comedy,

whether you've done SNL or not, SNL gets brought up.

Like when you started doing improv, did you have family that just went like,

do you ever think about doing SNL?

I think I talked about it so much they already knew.

I mean, I used to make my mom make videos.

I've like, I'm in a suit coming out of my bathroom going,

Bobby, I'm running out.

And like turning around and doing my SNL opening.

Was that?

I was, I was a lot.

What was that moment?

Because you still had Don Parna.

Yeah.

You did.

I mean, Darryl Hamilton.

I think this year, if I'm a big nerd, I think this year was the last one with Don.

Got some.

When he was getting shaky, when he was going,

please, I can't do this anymore.

Lauren, haven't I given you enough?

I have told this story before in interviews,

but it's one of my favorite things in the world.

He just passed me one day and he went,

that's all he went.

Like really quietly to himself and he went,

that's a good one.

Another good nightmare in the seam, Patron.

It's just like saying the seam's name.

Yeah, sorry.

Don is in.

He's sundowning right now.

There he goes.

I don't.

Man, one day.

FDR ruined the economy.

A lot of hot takes.

You go, you know what's funny?

The studio times are about 17 hours.

Because you can't get to the names without opinions.

You know who I don't like?

The Polish.

The Polish.

What a fucking weird thing to eat.

There another great one was we were rehearsing a sketch called

Ruff Rugged and Roker,

which was the whole premise of this sketch was

Keenan Thompson goes straight from like,

as Al Roker goes straight from the club

because he's so cool from part of you

to like doing the news in the world.

But like right before he's the coolest dude in the world

because he's been up all night partying.

And it was absolutely hilarious,

but there were a lot of dancers.

Never saw Don Bardo on the floor before of the studio.

Like he was just, he was doing his booth.

Sure.

He was just standing there and I was like,

what are you doing, Don?

And he's like, the dancers.

Like he was just there to see the dancers.

Oh my God.

There ain't so much glitter here.

But he would speak that way.

He's like, the dancers.

Like, you know what it's like.

He's like, he was just like, remember the,

it was as if they were musical guests.

He said.

Featured.

Yes.

That's the dancer.

I'm here to look at women.

I'm gonna Hugo.

You remember the homeless guy with the golden voice?

Do you remember there was like a homeless guy on the thing?

Oh, yes.

And it was a big, it was like one of the first viral things

where he went like really viral and they got him a job.

Craft of macaroni and cheese.

Right?

And then he'd be like, this is coming in.

And they'd be like, give him like,

you get a dollar and they'd be like, do it.

And he'd be like, coming up on the, and it was like.

Wait.

And then he got too much money when you go.

Oh.

Yeah.

He was, I believe homeless again shortly after.

Yeah.

He made a lot of money and then he made a lot of bad decisions.

But I do wonder if Lauren just found Don Parto like that,

like just walking around.

And he's like, I don't think he was in the building when Lauren got

when they built it and he just said, I can't leave.

He's like with him and Tuscanyne's music stand,

which was in a case right next to it.

He would be like, I was here when they built it.

Like no joke.

Seriously?

Yeah.

Not doing a bit.

I do my show of shows.

He's the Phantom of the Opera.

Yeah.

He's like, I'm there playing the organ.

He really was.

It's crazy.

Yeah.

Because he did it until he was in his 90, like, late 90s.

He was 6,700.

Yeah.

I'm an Oracle.

Yeah.

No, he felt magical.

He's Merlin.

Yeah.

We find out that's who Merlin's based off of.

I did get locked.

It almost missed a queue on live television while I was dressed

as Cogsworth from the clock, from Beauty and the Beast,

because Dom Parto fell asleep in the booth

and I couldn't get the door open, because I was a clock.

And he was in the way, and I didn't want to wake him up.

Yeah, it was an only SNL moment.

That's what a fantastic audience is.

If I move my clock too fast, I'm going to wake up Dom Parto

and miss my live television line,

and then Jane Lynch is going to be upset.

It also sounds like a staphon line.

We've got everything from sleeping Dom Parto.

But you know who my new Dom Parto that I don't want to see go yet

is Johnny Gilbert from Jeopardy.

Johnny Gilbert's the guy that goes, this is Jeopardy!

You're very good at voices.

And you go, Johnny, don't move Johnny.

He's like couching your grandma's living room with plastic on it.

I just did Kelly and her husband.

Yeah, Mark, Jesus Christ.

Kelly and Mark.

Yes, Kelly, Rip on Mark.

Of course we lost.

Yes.

And Gellman was there.

And you're like Gellman.

Gellman, what are you still doing here?

What's up, dog?

I remember they're like, oh my gosh.

We're going back, we just can't believe this.

Gellman was like, how are you doing Gellman?

Oh, gee.

He's here.

I pretty much did that.

He was like, all right.

No, no, no.

That's enough.

I get it.

Like, when Katie did celebrity Jeopardy, I obviously,

we're huge Jepeads.

And I really wanted to meet Ken Jennings,

the greatest player of all time.

And the only, who would you argue?

Brother.

I'm just kidding.

I hate to tell you this.

Go back and watch.

I watch YouTube highlights of him just absolutely bodying nerds.

Jenny stayed on that thing.

I did.

He kept the blicky on him.

But I was super excited to meet him.

And then I was like a little kid at Disney World,

where they're like, I want to meet Mickey.

And they're like, Mickey's not here today.

And I was like, is Johnny Gilbert here?

No.

Ken was like me all the time.

Yeah.

Also with this, I'm on the tour for Hoppers right now.

And I'm like, is Meryl Streep going to be?

No, she's not.

Okay.

Did you do a lot of that?

Because I don't think people know this.

Overwork.

Sometimes you're in a booth with other people if it's a scene.

Yeah.

But sometimes you just have to hear how they read it.

And then you point it out.

And sometimes you don't.

So what sometimes?

I mean, Hoppers was different.

I mean, like Hoppers has been years.

This has been like a couple years of my life.

So it's like, I've had different versions.

I didn't record with anyone.

The girl who plays the main lead Piper Curtis,

who plays Mable the main beaver.

Yeah.

The girl who goes into the beaver.

Yeah.

I didn't meet her till after we finished recording.

And we now have like spent more time with each other

than other people I have worked with for many years

because of just from promoting the movie.

Sure.

But yeah, we never, but like I did inside out

and inside out two.

Yeah.

Both great.

Me and Paula Poundstone are like a forget her Bobby

and forget her Paula.

Yeah.

And we record it together for all of those.

Like we got to improvise.

They blew it.

They blew us up to Emoryville, Pixar.

And like we, they recorded, you know, it was like this.

Like, you know, they put us in a room with cameras.

They recorded us.

Like, you know, like we got to do some stuff together.

But this one, we didn't.

But I would get to hear Piper throughout.

When you go to a place like Pixar,

are you kind of like lost in it of like, oh wow.

Because you forget that Pixar is like God.

Well, yes.

The Toy Story.

I was in, I was on SNL.

Yeah.

And I got just got an email.

I think that was like from Dan Scanlon.

That was like, uh, saw this sketch on SNL.

It was the, um, the jammy shuffle.

Uh, the, uh, Andy's, uh, it was an SNL digital short.

Sure.

Where we were all kids playing like on a kid show.

And I'm just like a little kid.

But like it ended up with like all of us murdering each other.

Yeah.

In comedy.

And, uh, um, it was just like, saw you in this.

We have this character in Monsters University.

And I thought you would be great for it.

Like, do you want to do it?

And I was like, what?

Like, are you kidding me?

Like a Pixar movie?

Like, of course.

And then they were like, great.

We're going to fly out to Pixar.

And I was like, what?

Like, and went there and like was definitely that boy.

Yeah.

Was like, they gave me a tour of Pixar.

Like, and like, that place is nuts.

Like, it's, it's built for creativity.

There's like a person walking.

It's like a college campus.

There's a guy walking around with a gelato cart just like around.

Sick.

And then they have rooms where you can get massages.

And like, like, all this stuff.

And everyone gets to decorate their own space.

And they have like a plot of land, not an office,

that they can do whatever they want.

So someone has, uh, someone's desk is the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon.

And the person next to them is a Jurassic Park theme thing

with working, uh, uh, uh, waterfalls.

And like, they have like, that's someone has the Batman thing.

And they move it.

And there's a speakeasy behind their office.

And like, everything is, it like that.

And then they go, you want to see something really cool.

And they, uh, open up a vent, an actual vent in the wall.

And you crawl in it.

And it is the vent they had.

It's like just this gap in the wall that when Bill Gates and them were working there,

they would like go in there and hang out.

And it's, it's like just like a vent with like,

it's like air conditioning ducks.

And you hang out in there and it's, but now it is signed by everyone

that has, they have shown it to.

So it's like Barack Obama next to Anthony Daniels, C3PO.

And then like, they're like, you want to sign it?

And I signed in between Barack Obama and Anthony Daniels.

And I remember thinking like, that's a good spot.

Like in the Pixar building.

Barack Obama, but like, yeah, they just show you like all this crazy stuff

and this Pixar history.

It's a beautiful, uh, I, and now like, this is my fourth Pixar movie.

And I go like, I can't believe it.

It's, it's one of those things where thank God I don't work in that field

because if they were like, you could have your own desk.

It's like, well, I just want to back float all day.

Yeah.

And they go, I don't think we can do that.

But I need the temperature.

Yeah.

And I want to chlorine.

I don't want salt water.

I want to float chlorine.

And like, I wonder if they would like figure that out.

If you were good enough at your job.

I, I go like, I wonder like if they could,

it seems like the place where they would be like,

because the first guy in tech that tried real fast.

You know, he's pretty good.

I've seen him eat leaves today.

He made it.

You see me sing and dance.

We're letting him go.

Guy, 46 hairs an hour.

Yes, guy.

Watch him work.

Yeah.

And also look at his desk.

He recreated the Titanic.

Yeah.

Where it's to scale.

It's like,

oh,

it's a giant freighter.

Is it there?

Yeah.

I always, uh,

Every day at two, his desk splits in half.

I was like that when I went to, I did like with the WWE network

that they had me up there.

And I was like walking around.

And then they did a thing where they're like,

at cool and you're like,

oh, no.

I don't want to act cool.

Oh, uh, don't take away from,

I did a movie with John Cena.

There's not many sisters.

Yeah.

Uh, with John Cena.

I wrestled John Cena in that movie.

And, and like the coolest.

And he was like, you want to come to WrestleMania?

I don't think much is that.

Yeah.

Do I want to go with one of the greatest wrestlers all the time?

Yeah, I did.

To your worst.

So me and Taran Killam from SNL.

Yeah.

One of my favorite cast members of all time.

It was all time.

And I would argue one of the most criminally underrated SNL cast members of all time.

Easily.

He was, uh, he was one of those guys where you watched and you went,

what the fuck?

He's like a Dan Aggroitor of Phil Hartman.

Yes.

You go.

You go.

Yes.

You go.

He did a Taco Bell commercial was Brad Pitt that people forget that makes me like,

whoa.

There you go.

Like his impression is Rita.

Come on, man.

And like the way he does it.

Like J. Farrow's a mimic.

J. Farrow.

J. Farrow's the best voice guy.

So looks at you up and down and then goes like, all right.

I'll do these four things.

His Stephen A Smiths run on a weekend update was one of my favorites.

Taran is like the opposite.

Taran's like a painter.

Like he goes, these are the four things that person does.

But I noticed that he also goes like, boo.

And like he'll do that.

And you just go like, yeah, yeah, you're right.

Yeah.

That thing that he would do is the best.

I don't do impressions, but Taran makes it easy for me to do impressions.

Because he can find this like, it's the sound.

Like that is that's always what it is.

He's great.

He's great at that.

It's once J. Farrow.

Not.

I would say J. Farrow is the greatest impersonator alive.

Like a life.

I would agree, man.

There are.

Also like, I'm so glad that they are both getting high praise now.

Yeah.

Well, they deserve it.

A great deal.

Because people go like, oh, you do voices and I go, I do sentences.

These guys do like full impression.

J. Would do this thing that like, I've never seen with anyone else like it.

I don't understand it.

It was like a super power.

He would do it.

Like if he start like so like, J. Would write sketches that were crazy.

Like J. Would write sketches.

I'm the Pillsbury Doe boy, but I'm, I was burnt to a crisp.

So now my name is Pillsy and I'm a gang banger.

And Lauren would be like, okay, like, that was a real one that I think he did that was

crazy.

Like, you know, like he, he would be like, ah, this guy, Uncle bear, you know, guy with

a stick had a bear on the end of it named Uncle something.

That's all I remember.

He had a lot of crazy characters.

We all did.

But, but J had crazier characters.

But then J. Would come into the room, like the pitch room and like, do his pitch as Hannibal

Burris.

That's so far.

And I don't understand how to explain this correctly.

But he would like access Hannibal Burns, Hannibal Burris' comedy brain for 10 minutes.

So he would be able to like improvise as Hannibal, if that makes sense.

It's the thing I'm the most, I know exactly what you're talking about and I think that's

the point I'm making with J. Ferrell.

Like, it's almost like he walks that side for five minutes and he just becomes Hannibal

and goes like, this is everything Hannibal's about.

And then goes like, wasn't that nuts and you're like, how did you do that, man?

Like what?

Like you just.

It's my favorite thing about him.

And his concepts of comedy and executed them perfectly, like, there's clips of him.

There's a clip of him on a morning show while he's promoting a stand up gig.

And he does Kevin Hart doing his New Year's resolutions and it's Kevin Hart.

It's like the way he does it where he goes, bam, here's what I'll do.

I get me implants.

Seem fee tall.

Bam.

Now I'm in the NBA.

And he does it.

He does it in a way with the hands and stuff and he goes, this is Kevin Hart.

That's just Kevin Hart.

It's, it's, it's crazy.

It's like there's someone on the X-Men, like, if they touch, like, if they touch you,

yeah, they touch you, they can go rogue.

They absorb your powers.

That's what he has.

That's funny.

Lawrence, like, shake hands with Jay.

We're going to need him.

We gave him velvet gloves.

Be gentle.

No.

Jay has a white streak in his hair from that one.

He takes his gloves on.

And Lawrence.

And James's head.

Lawrence professor actually is kidding.

Yeah.

100% his billion percent makes me beast or blob.

No.

I think, I would think your beast or Wolverine.

Interesting.

I'll take it.

I would make a fantastic Wolverine.

You would be great.

It's like Wolverine.

I'll say it.

I'll say it.

I'll say it.

I'll say it.

If Wolverine was like, I don't like violence.

Can you imagine what would happen?

I just want to see, oh, there are so many people's face.

I want to see where they go.

Bobby.

Hey, hey, honey.

Bobby Moynihan just got cast as Wolverine.

Why would I, I would pay billion for that?

Someone's doing, someone's doing dishes and they're like,

oh, you mean it in a new cartoon?

No, no, no, no, no, no, a lot of action.

Why have action?

Oh, no way.

And you're going to, you're going to play Wolverine.

What universe?

I mean, Comic Con.

There would just be the line to see you being like,

what the hell?

But what it really is, he really is Professor X.

He just shows up in a small Indiana town and he's like,

I heard you can do a perfect impression.

Show me your powers.

I see promise.

The only, I will say that he's completely uncontrollable,

but I know how to do it.

I, I understand.

He's going to turn dark and then he'll go to Magneto.

That's Mag TV.

Sorry, that's the Magneto and the Dark Forces and Mag TV.

But he is, he's like, I mean,

we call them the new mute.

They work with the government to eradicate.

Why, I mean, if you want to look with Mr. Siddist,

I guess if you think that Juggernaut is good at physical comedy.

So I see what you're about to do.

Juggernaut is cool.

Yeah.

Oh, this is my new favorite bit.

Lord, Lord is Professor X.

I, I read your mind.

You've got a lot of dad stuff.

You're going to fit in perfect.

We're thinking about pairing you with Nightcrawl

for a movie.

I don't know if it'll work, but you know what?

It's a summer.

A lot of people, you know, a lot of people

thought Tina was my Jubilee.

And I proved their morale.

I really proved their morale.

I have no idea she was my store.

She could change the weather, make it very icy in here

if she wanted to.

Oh, she could.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'll tell you what's funny is sitting here,

talking to you, how much I reference or quote

the kings of catchphrase comedy is just jump to beat.

Me and Big J used to think that was the sloppy papi weight

what is slapping papi of Dracula's chasing you turn

around and trip the bitch, which is a real sinbed thing.

Do you know Charlie Sanders?

Charlie Sanders introduced me to this.

I can't, I credit where credit is due.

I think it was sinbed who said of a Dracula is chasing you

turn around and trip the bitch.

And we just thought that was the funniest thing in the world.

And I just, I did so more than that.

Oh, yeah.

That's such a fun story wasn't it?

Charlie had a tape of like a VHS tape of stand up.

And like, you know, when you would tape stuff.

Yeah.

And like, then like, there would be like something in the middle

and then you would tape something.

So there was just like one clip in between

and it was just a clip of sinbed going,

if a Dracula is chasing you turn around and trip the bitch.

And then like the next thing started

and he told me about it and that always stuck with me.

It's great.

That shoe horned that in there.

I just think Brian Tucker was one of the best.

I wrote a show with him.

He was the one that would tell me J. Ferro stories

because he would write the Stephen A Smith things.

Yeah.

Yeah.

We were writing the show while they were doing it

and he goes, he just turns in the Stephen A Smith

on the weekend update because there's one

where he goes, I know Dwayne Wade.

He feeds me seedless fruits.

And I asked Tucker.

I said, who came up with that?

He goes, Jay.

Yeah.

Yes.

Jay will say things while doing impressions

that he would not say as Jay in real life.

Yeah.

Does that make?

Does he like accesses a part of his brain?

It's true.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's like, I know there's, it's like when the matrix

when he's like, I need to know Kung Fu real quick

and like, he downloads it.

Like, that's what it feels like.

It's like, he just goes like, okay, I have every,

I can now be as equally funny as Hannibal Burris.

And then all of a sudden, he's back to Jay going,

like, what did I just say?

Like, it's amazing.

Yeah.

Brian Tucker is the man.

Brian Tucker is the best.

Brian helped me write those in Christine Nangle.

And I love Christine Nangle.

Jason Mansky.

Yeah.

Christine Nangle and I worked on a pilot together

and then I've been in writing hers with her

and she does Philly Girl, which is one

of the funniest characters.

I think I was in one of those Philly Girl videos.

But she, when she was the first person to get

her something or something like that.

She was the first person I watched in person

because she would do it in the writers room jokingly

as Philly Girl.

And it was like, oh my God, this is everyone's woman

I've ever met from Philadelphia.

She's hilarious.

She can get down here.

She runs with her like Simpsons now.

Does she?

That makes so much sense.

Yes, it does.

You get into a writers room with her

and you go like, oh, you're the funniest person

I think I've ever met.

She's a genius.

She's one of those, she's one of those people,

like James Anderson and Paula Pell at SNL

where you're just like Brian Tucker.

Brian Tucker, Chris Rochow.

Colin Jochow.

Yeah, Colin Jochow.

But Tucker, you look back.

She's a Pell show, Chris Rochow.

Like all this stuff.

Crazy.

They just step in and they go like,

we understand how to do this.

It's like Harvey Kitell and Paul Fitch.

Yeah, they're just really good at structure of comedy

and like she's a genius.

But Tucker told me about hamburger.

Or you ever see it?

How he ends jokes just going, hey, I'm burger.

Well, that's why beef jelly.

Well, that's what that was.

Immediately.

And he is a black dude that wears a cowboy.

And you know, Shucky Ducky.

Yeah, Shucky Ducky what was?

That's what Slapy Papi was.

He told me about Shucky Ducky.

Shucky Ducky.

What?

People wanted to be Symbad my whole life.

So now that was where that came from.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone kill harder

than Symbad at Carolins.

I like you walked in the room and you go,

you walked in and you're like,

he hurt this entire room with laughter.

No cussing.

Well, just went in and was like, you ever go on a date?

How many hours do you think Symbad did comedy

before we knew who Symbad was?

You know what I mean?

It's like that man probably just,

how many hours of standout comedy

has Symbad done in his life?

Yeah, it is the 10,000 hours that we go.

He's perfected it.

It's just so good at it.

He's more comfortable doing it than not.

Yeah, but the, but that's like Keenan.

That blows my mind that Keenan is just a, I mean,

if he's not on camera doing sketch comedy,

he's relaxing and that is his entire life.

Would you put him as, I think that's, I hope he is.

With, with you worked with him

and we've seen his body of work on SNL,

is he, I think he's a top three cast member of all time.

If not the best cast member.

I think, I think, I think like,

if you're not being romantic about SNL

and you're going like,

Gilda and John, like, you know,

which like they have their spot and, you know what I mean?

Like, also Lorraine Newman too.

Lorraine Newman should be much higher up there.

Yeah.

And then everybody puts her.

Keenan is number one cast member of all time.

Yeah, I would put that out.

There's no other, there's no, that he is Saturday Night Live.

I mean, you think about Eddie Murphy, obviously,

saved the show from 80 to 85.

I don't know the, Edward.

Is he Murphy?

Yeah.

He was in shrunk.

When you do the SNL reunion shows,

all the time.

All the time.

But like 40 and 50 were big deals.

I was at both.

Yeah.

On the show for 40th came back for the 50th.

When you go back for the 40th anniversary

and you're on the show,

is it like homecoming week where you're like,

hey, we got to give our spots.

Like we're going to be kind of the kids.

I mean, that's the show.

Yeah.

I got on the show and they were like,

you cast members aren't in it anymore.

Alec Baldwin's doing everything.

And it was like, what's this down like?

Excuse me.

I thought someone could do it.

I tried real hard to get here.

I didn't get my whole life.

Alec Baldwin got the Emmy nomination.

Great.

Wait.

Never mind before him.

No, no, no.

Is this one punchable?

Yeah.

He's been here a whole bunch this week.

Oh man, he was up for 97 hours too.

Yeah.

That's all just like a sweet sleep.

I love you Alec.

I'm glad you got it.

Yeah.

Good job, Alec.

Man, I'll tell you what, I did a scene in a movie

with Alec Baldwin.

And I was going through a breakup.

And it was the honest moment of my life

because he was talking me through a break.

He's a singular human, then.

And he's always Alec Baldwin.

I get 30 Rock with him.

And doesn't know.

Yeah, the best.

But we sat down at a diner and he went,

we're going to do my coverage first.

And you went, yeah, absolutely.

And so, because Fred Wolf was drunk parents.

Fred Wolf was directing.

And they do, he does the coverage.

And then they're turning around.

So we have a break.

And I'm like depressed because I'm going through this breakup.

And Alec goes, we start talking.

And he stops and he goes, can I get a plate of fries?

And they bring us a plate of fries.

He's like, catch up.

And they bring the catch up.

And he was sitting there and he's like, what happened?

And we're sitting there eating french fries

with him, perfect.

And I'm telling him about the breakup.

And I just remember, I was like, you know,

she was real into it.

And then she went on vacation.

And she completely like changed.

And he tips him frying the catch up.

And he goes, someone got in her ear.

And took a bite of the french fry.

And I was like, this is, in that moment, I went,

this is the weirdest shit I've ever been through

in my life.

It's Alec Baldwin coaching me through a break.

That's so funny to hear.

Like it's just like, I know the answer.

Yeah, and he goes, you know, I went through a divorce

in 2000.

And I was, yeah, with Kim Basiny.

I heard about it now.

My favorite thing he ever said,

he did monologues at Asquat one time.

The Mimproff Show at UCB.

A legendary one about being like when he first started,

like being a male on a soap opera and in Hollywood.

Like how he, like these men would come after him.

Essentially.

Yeah.

And he just said this phrase one night,

he talked about like some Italian man

that approached him at a restaurant.

And he went, he approached me.

He had a wallet, thick his hippo skin.

You know, who thinks that?

What are you?

Who are you?

He had a wallet, thick his hippo skin.

I'll never forget that.

I'll never forget it.

You get the confidence of that man.

Yes.

As most comedians, we can all agree or insecure.

It's why we go after laughs.

That's why we are so desperate for laughs.

That's why we just want to make people laugh.

And having a man that confident around

who's also very funny is.

I feel comfortable telling this story.

Yeah.

Yeah.

We were rehearsing at SNL.

And we were, I passed him in the hallway.

He had his dinner.

His dinner had just gotten there.

And we had, we were just done with dinner.

We were about to start rehearsing again.

And I noticed, I was like, I noticed his dinner.

He was, he had it in his hand, like it just got there.

And I remember thinking like me, it's starting on time.

And he goes to Jenna, the stage manager.

He's like, hey, I just need my dinner.

Or she said like, hey, Alec, five minutes.

And he's like, my dinner just got here.

And he's like, five minutes were starting to rehearse.

And I just saw him kind of like look down and go like, okay.

And he just walked into the studio.

And he was like, is this rehearsing next?

Yeah.

And I was like, the hotel scene, yeah.

I've never seen a hotel with this kind of television before.

Can we get one with like the doors that open up?

And he was like, I don't think we have that,

but sure I'll go, I'll go look for one.

And he was like, great, how long will that take?

And the guy was like 20 minutes, he was like, perfect.

Oh my God, I'm a genius, I'm not a genius.

Wow, what a genius, been in this business for a while.

I was like, that lighting scaffolding.

I don't think that's a problem.

He just bought himself the 20 minutes he needed.

Not his problem.

And then like took his bag and like winked at me as he,

he did not wink at me, but he might as well have

as he walked by with fingers like this.

Yes, he was, it was a perfect move.

That is so cool.

It was a perfect move.

To watch him change the diary.

It was like, he's been at SNL longer than I have, man.

He's been here for a hundred years.

He knew how to get six minutes.

That is so cool.

If you're a small business owner,

damn, you got Hutzpah, that's crazy.

Because it scares me.

Another time we were there,

so when someone asked where the bathroom was

and Tom Hanks was like, it's right down there.

And I remember he was like, yeah.

Of course he'd just been here forever.

He knows where, like he knows where everything comes like that.

He could probably tell him what the rent is.

The quickness, the quickness where Tom Hanks is like,

it's right that way.

And like just went on, like it was a very,

like you forget that there's like four or five famous people

that like are essentially cast members.

See Martin can just walk in and you just

have a Timber Lake was like that.

Timber Lake's I have an apartment built on to this to eight

H. I can go to sleep.

Do you guys want to go there?

I still have under the bleachers.

Yeah.

Um, can you look at the bargains down there?

Yeah.

Hey, you're moving brown.

Can you be where you been?

My, uh, my friend who I worked with on billions

and she still cuts my hair, but she was your Katie.

She did your hair.

And she was like, yeah, is now my next or neighbor, I think.

Oh, I know where you live.

Oh, you live.

Let's tell him.

Yeah.

No, no.

Go to this neighborhood.

But um, she, I'll go to, I'll go to a 30 rock to get my

haircut when, when it's a show.

We, because she's like, hey, it's in the city.

You don't have to come up all the way up there.

Just come get my haircut or whatever.

And I will like stop when they were doing SNL 50 that had,

because it's in the wig shop.

That's where I get my haircut.

So you walk through and you see, yeah, uh, floor is eight H.

Yeah, it's like costumes.

And SNL 50, I stole everything.

Dude, they had two boxes out and I took pictures on my phone.

It was next to each other.

And I like stopped and how, and it was, uh, Dana's church lady.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And, uh, in a box, I have a lot of those pictures, but I also, yeah,

was Matt Foley, was the Matt Foley, Chris Farley, Matt Foley suit.

And they said when they pull them out, they're all like kind of

together. So they, and I was like, this is what Farley wore.

And they were like, yeah, and I was like, and this is the Dana

Carvy church lady.

That was the one of the coolest parts as being a Vanessa

Nell fan was like being in the middle of a show in a quick change,

throwing on a suit and seeing Farley or Balushi, like written in the

pants, because it's the same pants or the same costumes or like me and

Chris Parnell have the same shoe size.

So a lot of my shoes were Parnell or Farley.

Like it's like, oh my God, like, or like you're seeing a picture.

You're, you're waiting to do a sketch and you're looking at a picture of

low-throw of the hill people and you're like, oh my God, I used to

watch this sketch and then you're like, wait a minute, I'm wearing Chris

Farley's, I'm wearing those boots.

That's like, and you would just be like, I'm wearing those, that

happened with a suit.

I had a peach tuxedo on and I was like, this has to be like the coolest

thing I've ever wore.

And then you walk my picture and there's John Balushi and a peach

tuxedo and you're like, oh my God, and you look inside and it says

Jay Balushi and you're like, oh my God, maybe Jim Balushi wore this.

No, no, no, no.

But like he's from the movie K9?

No, that happened with two euros.

Like Balushi wore this.

Yeah, that might be Jim.

That is funny, calm down, Bobby.

Calm down, you got to sketch to the old.

Oh, that's Jim.

You're breathing?

Get him to panic bag.

He's going to, he's wearing a hero's clothing.

Put me in, put me in cerebral.

We need to calm him down.

Yes, I'm going to go to his thoughts.

I'm going to make him think he's two.

Moira has getting too great, little kids.

Yeah.

We can't have him happy.

I'm making him think he was a fan of according to Jim.

But it is, you know, a lot of the times where I fucked up was, I was too much of a fan

when I auditioned and when they called me in, that's a fantastic sentence for people auditioning

for SNL's.

Too much of a fan, I let it because I was writing a cartoon with Tucker and we were writing

it.

Wow.

Yeah.

And Tucker was like, we got put together and we were writing this thing and I was a big

fan of him.

The first two weeks of us writing, it was just me asking questions about Chris Rockshow,

Chappelle Show, and SNL.

But we're writing it and then my agent was like, hey, do you want an audition for SNL?

And I was such a fan that I was like, no, because I know.

I did the same thing because I would go watch you guys at UCB and I was like, I need to

wait.

I'm not ready yet.

I'd also be like, no.

I'm not that funny.

These guys are unbelievable and Tucker and I were writing the show and Tucker was, I was

like, hey, I think I'm going to put myself on tape for SNL and he was like, you should,

you know, how he is.

He's like, yeah, do it.

And so I did it and keep why he's great is because he's, he can be emotionless.

Yeah.

He can go like, your emotions don't matter.

So like, maybe don't.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay.

I did it and they liked the tape and they came back and they watched me.

You stand up and then I did the live audition at UCB and I saw Frank Garcia Helds who I

was.

Oh, amazing.

I was like, well, he's, he's SNL.

He was born to be on that show.

I literally watched him.

I'm not joking.

I watched him at that UCB showcase and I went to my agent and I went, well, it's that guy.

He just did a perfect Dan Acroid and he did a perfect Jimmy Kimmel.

I've never seen anybody do that.

Give him SNL.

Helped me because then I went out there and I went, fucking, who cares?

I saw the guy was going to get SNL and then Tucker was like, hey, they liked you.

We're going to bring you in to 8H to screen test and that's what fucked me up because I

went in and I was like doing the thing in the hallway of like, oh, oh, oh, oh.

And then Dave the director, you know, tells me, brings me in and he goes, they don't think

too much or whatever and I'm just waiting to go up on home base and I'm a fucking idiot

and I went like Dana Carvey, like Myers, Chris Farley, all my Phil Hartman, my one of

my favorites of all time, and it fucked me up.

And I was like too tight.

I wasn't like funny.

I wasn't loose.

Interesting.

And I was like, I got off stage and I remember walking out of 30 rock and like just walking

around that area and just sitting in front of a chase bank and being like, I fucked

up.

I fucked up.

And I was like, everyone, that chase bank, you know, it's a cost of serious.

That chase bank has so many sad comedians.

I did a show across the street from my mom from that vestibule of that chase bank going

like, I think I got it.

What's funny is that ended up being, because for me it was a place that I called my agent

I was like, I was too into it, I was too tired, I didn't do well.

And then I ended up doing a serious XM show for eight years, the bonfire, which I loved

to death.

But we would smoke a joint before every show.

And I would stare at that chase bank and I'd be like, I remember failing and standing

in front of that chase bank being like, I fucked up.

And then they brought me back to next year, but they brought me back in a way where they

were like, I think it was shook as it was like.

I got brought back too.

You know, I had the same exact thing.

Well, I auditioned, uh, uh, was told, like, was brought in, yeah, it was like me, Donald

Glover and Jordan Peel went in together and literally sitting on the three of us sitting

on the couch talking to Lauren.

And I had known both of them, you know, I had known Donald since he was 15.

Yeah, doing Derek.

Yeah.

And, uh, the three of us sat on that couch and he went like, well, I have decisions to make

and you're just like, why are you toying with us and like, and then the writer's strike

happened.

Oh.

So it was like nine months of like, I think I, I think me and a couple of my friends are

getting it.

But I'm not sure.

Like, it was like, it was, it was crazy.

And then like the second the strike ended, I saw it, like, it was like the strike ended,

like on the news.

Yeah.

And then it was like, SNL, like literally, like on my phone and I was like, no way, fucking

it.

And it was like, uh, we can't hire you.

Well, my Rudolph left, uh, during the strike and we, we're gonna hire a woman instead.

And I was just like, what?

And then it was gone.

Yeah.

And it was gone.

So I mean, people don't realize a couple months later, it was like coming on Monday and

by the next Monday, I was, I was in a sketch with Michael Phelps.

That's crazy.

Yeah.

Because people don't realize it really is the moment.

You know, you're going to get it if you meet Lorne.

And I was, I was writing that thing with Tucker and he was like, I think you're the last

guy to not meet Lorne.

He's like, I think you're the guy that gets cut off.

And that was the year that I didn't think I did well.

The last guy to not meet you.

So they were like, I see.

He's like, he's going to talk to three people and I think it was, I see what you mean.

I see what you mean.

I see what you mean.

It was Davidson, uh, Frank and Andrew Santino were the three guys.

Wow.

That's good to hear.

Yeah.

That went and talked and I was like, Oh, I'm not getting it.

And then the next year they were like, they called me up and they were like, Hey, probably

not going to get it, but we want to screen test them again.

And this time I went in and I, I was way more loose and it really helped.

I made Lorne crack during my audition and that was the thing where I was like, I'm

not going to get it.

That's all you got.

Yeah.

And I got him to laugh at Winnie the Pooh addicted to honey.

There's a thing where he would like, like that, which you would have written and I would

have got casted.

I would have loved it.

I would have loved it.

I just wanted to get Peter Dinklage, who I believe played Winnie the Pooh and I was

in.

I might have been more in that.

That was the same year.

I, that was the year I auditioned.

Oh, wait.

I think I know this story.

Yeah.

I think I've heard you talk about that.

Well, the, the first one was Jason, I think I was in that sketch.

Jason Statham's Jason Statham's.

And I auditioned.

I did Jason Statham edible arrangements and I went, oh, you sick of getting a Simo fruit,

send your love, a candle out, shape like a fist.

And then they did Jason Statham, Jason Statham, and I went, that's much better.

I see that.

Yeah.

That's way tighter.

It's so crazy, like being on both sides, like being a fan of SNL for many, many years

and still so since after and being there, that whole thing, like I've seen it a couple

times where someone's like, that's my idea.

And it's like seeing comedy like minds, like write the same thing very close to each other

has happened.

And how many times did you go like, but I'm not one, I'm not one of those people that

goes like, I'm not one of those people that was angry about it because what I, what I've

said before and I've told the story is that when you audition, they go, hey, you're giving

us all this.

You ever read Jay Moore's book?

That's why I was just going to bring up.

Jay Moore.

I mean, he's cause of that.

You want to talk about one of the best voice guys of all time.

Yeah.

Jay Moore is one of the greatest impressions.

A brother like Jay Farrell, where he's called.

He's a Jay Farrell, like doesn't get the respect that he deserves.

My favorite clip of Opian Anthony, one of my favorite clips is he calls in and he's

doing voices and then he does reservoir dogs with Bobby Kelly and Colin Quinn.

And it's to this day, he goes, I don't know, this guy's getting blood all over the back

of my back.

I can't like it's on my LA sneakers and you're like, it's a perfect Colin Quinn.

Yeah.

He's insane.

He's the best.

His Harvey Kitell is like, I could listen to him do Colin Quinn like all day long.

Do you know James Adomean?

Yes.

James Adomean is, it's, I would say it's criminal.

He never got to be honest and I don't know if I've ever said this out loud.

James Adomean, I don't know if you're going to hear me say this now on a podcast.

Sometimes when I'm sad, yeah.

I listen to James Adomean doing, oh my God, I'm blanking on his name.

The LA radio host that was really mean to women.

Oh, God.

Wait, he's not doing Don I miss?

No, not Don I miss.

Oh my God.

There was like a guy, he had like rules and he would blow Tom like us, blow him up Tom.

He would go, he would go like, you're going to go to school at top, top like us, blow it

up Tom.

Tom don't like us.

Tom.

And he's just like, you know, like if a woman is married, she wants your money.

Like you know, like it is just like, and, and, and he's a piece of garbage this guy.

But James Adomean is improvising as him is like something like, when I, when I need to relax,

it's like Zach Alvinhack is live at the purple onion.

Um, James Adomean doing doing that, doing Tom like us or, or like, um, uh, uh, uh,

Jimmie Glick.

See my favorite Jimmy Glick is phenomenal.

Like that's what I listen to.

My favorite thing of James Adomean that I bring up all the time on YouTube that I showed

to people on my phone, like a proud parent, I sit and I watch them watch it right now.

I agree with that.

Is him doing Lewis Black reading out of a girl's diary where he goes, today was the best

day of my life.

And he, I'm not even doing it justice where he goes, Timmy said I was cute, heart thing.

And he's like, does the finger thing in a way that you're like, please watch.

If you're watching this at home, pause this.

Go watch James Adomean doing Lewis Black reading out of a 13 year old girl's diary.

Um, I was in inside out and inside out to, yeah, I got to see a screening with Lewis

Black of inside out.

Oh, yeah, Zanger.

Never met him before my life.

I don't, I don't, I still don't know if he knows who I am.

I don't care.

I walked past him and I said, great movie.

And he went, for a cartoon, you go, yeah, the guy from Pixar is like, oh, shit.

Yeah.

He's the, he's in for a cartoon for a cartoon inside out too.

What are, what are we going to, what do you think I've ever heard?

He goes, uh, talking.

That's just cartoons.

That's a talkie that's drawing to say that about up to be, yeah, that is great.

He, um, Adomean was one of the first person to do a perfect Jesse Ventura and he would

do those things.

Wow.

He does Mark Marin perfect.

He does Jesse Ventura perfect, you know, you want to know how good I am at impressions.

I played Jesse Ventura on SNL in what up with that?

And I never said a word, but I tap dance to the hold.

I tap dance across the age with a cobra with a giant snake on my neck.

Yeah.

That's a Tucker sketch.

Yeah.

What's up with that?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I was just hitting the running man every time I love how silly Tucker is.

I love how silly.

Yeah.

Uh, one of my favorite characters I ever got on I wrote with Brian Tucker and John Solomon

is this character called Janet Peck and Paul, the dumbest thing in the world.

It was just this lady who was just begging celebrities to have sex with her.

I would say, just please just throw what it may please.

And I would, it was just, it was Brian Tucker in Brian Tucker as a woman and, and that

should never happen.

And I hope Tucker doesn't get mad that I'm saying this on a podcast, but, um, when we

were writing that thing, I, I was at the seller and Amy Schumer was filming a train wreck

with Bill Hader, who had just left, doesn't know.

And Hader was like at the seller and he's like hanging out and I, uh, he was in that too,

right?

Yeah.

He debuted.

He was in that too, right?

Yeah.

He debuted.

He was in that too, right?

Yeah.

He debuted.

He was in that too, right?

Yeah.

He debuted.

That's where Bill Hader saw it.

Yeah.

He got an SNL.

But, uh, Hader was like at the seller and I was like, Hey, I'm writing a, uh, a pilot with Brian

Tucker.

I'm absolutely going to ask him about that.

And then we're in Tucker's apartment and I go, can you do the impression of the guy

getting fucked?

And he has a laptop and he goes, yeah, that's a, that is a, wow, yeah, they shut it and

did it.

And it was, oh my god, I don't, it's here like my, my wife, like, there are people that

just like, like, they, when they talk about people, they just, like, you just became Brian

Tucker for a second.

That was crazy.

My wife is like that.

I can't do that.

Brian Tucker did an amazing thing to me was telling me about like, uh, what it was like

to work on the Chris Rock show.

Yeah.

And, uh, you have to understand, I'm telling this story out of order.

I'm going to tell what happened after first.

Yeah.

He told me this story after he did this to me.

He said when he was on the Chris Rock show, uh, his first night on the Chris Rock show,

he was writing a sketch and Chris Rock walked in the room, said, what are you working

on?

Like nice to meet you.

What are you working on?

He said he showed him the sketch and that Chris Rock took it, opened the window, threw

it out the window, closed the window and went like, I'm just kidding, man.

And like, you did like a bit, sure.

He told me this after my first night at us now, yeah, I'm writing Tucker walks in.

He says, what are you writing?

I hand him my sketch and he looks at it and he opens up the window and he throws it

out the window.

I see it flutter across Radio City music hall and I look at him like, why, why are you

so cruel?

Why on earth?

I'm like, I'm a grown man.

Like, why would you do that?

And he laughs and he's like, and he tells me the Chris Rock show, he's like, they did

that to me on my first day.

You go, so print me up another one and then hand it to me and I went, I don't have a

computer yet.

I wrote it on paper.

And you just threw it out the window.

Oh no, he's like, he was like, I'll be right back and like literally like ran outside

to like go try and find it.

I was like, Tucker, don't worry about it, man.

But like, that is that really happens, and I was like, oh my god, why are you so, they're

so cruel here.

You know, it's funny, is New York stand up, the throwing the paper out the window is when

you're a young comic and you walk up with a drink and someone just slaps it out of your

hand on the sidewalk and you go, why would you do that to me?

That's Bobby got me like that.

Jim Norton did it to me once, we went shut up.

That's territorial.

When it's time coming from another comedian in a comedy club, I feel like I had the lighting

designer for SNL Phil Himes, God rest his soul, he was, he was another Dom Parto.

He had been like in the building for ever.

He was 6,000 years old.

I love him with all my heart.

No, he's like, there's an amulet that will release him.

He has 700 Emmys, meanest man in television, the best way possible.

He was the one that walked up to Jennifer Lopez and be like, shut your mouth, move it,

you know what I mean?

He was that guy.

Well, you need a person like that in those shows.

He was old school.

Yeah.

We'll leave it at that because I was, it was my first week on the show.

I'm in the hallway.

There were famous people around.

I'm standing there.

I have a cookie on a plate and he just smacked it out of my hand and went, think didn't

mind a hand.

I was like, wow.

What a moment.

I really wanted that cookie.

Yeah.

I'm really glad Bo Bridges heard that.

Oh, you know, the lesser known Bridges of the Bridges boys, that you would be standing

in the hallway and we'll walk down the hallway and it would just be like insane or you would

be waiting to be like dressed as a pirate waiting to go in a sketch.

I was watching the monitor one night waiting to go on and the sketch ended and there was

like a plastic dinosaur that walked at the end of the sketch and did something stupid.

And Steven Spielberg just leaned over my shoulder and went, mine were better.

And I was just like, that's crazy.

This place is the best.

That's crazy.

Yeah.

That is crazy.

Yeah.

And that.

But there is those people that like, you know, for anyone that's ever pursued a dream

and then there's a moment where you get to do the thing you've dreamed about, but you're

in this stage where you're like, what the fuck?

The first time I saw Chris Rock in person, I was like, that's stand up New York and he came

in to do a set and I was like, he came up to me at a jet game.

Yeah.

Once, like just like felt a hand on my shoulder and he was just like, Hey man, you're doing

good.

You want to treat me right?

Like we had been through a war together.

Yeah.

That's the general.

Never spoke to him.

Like he was just like, I said, like, you know, like it was just like that.

Yeah.

And then when he hosted us and now, uh, not as kind.

That's crazy.

Very much like, not meeting he was mean was very much like, how long you been on the

show?

You got to get out of here.

Yeah.

Like he went into like pop a mode.

Well, he does that.

I mean, he did that.

He's done it at the seller for 15 years.

Yeah.

So if you walk in and you're not famous, he's like, yeah, it's like this guy and you're

like, all right, we're co-workers though.

The best advice I never listened to.

I got from Chris Rock.

If I could go back, if I had a time, a comedy time machine to go back in time and take

something back, uh, standing on stage, backstage at the benefit count, the sandy, the,

the 20, 20, the sandy hurricane benefit, 2012, yeah, with like Kanye West and all those

people.

Kanye West is on stage.

Me and Seth Meyers are backstage.

I'm dressed as drunk uncle and Chris Rock comes up to me.

He goes, you're not going out there.

Are you dressed like that?

And I was like, yeah, he goes, don't go out there, man.

Don't go out there.

Like he was like concerned for me.

Wow.

I was like, what are you talking about, man?

Like relax.

I'm going out to do this bit.

We walked out on stage to complete silence, just like silence.

Kanye West had just finished.

He was in a guilt, screaming the N word and like dropping like, like, like, like, you know,

and then out comes drunk uncle in our seven of this concert where they're waiting for

Bruce Springsteen, Chris Christie's in the audience.

And drunk uncle comes out and it was just Madison Square Garden as a whole turned to

each other and went like, beers, we're all getting beers here.

And like the entire Madison Square Garden just stood up and left.

And we just and Chris Rock was 100% right.

He was like, don't go out there and you're defense and I'm never so hard in my life.

But you had Madison Square Garden.

You can't.

And no offense.

I walked.

You can't change that lineup.

No.

You can't go.

I'm not going out.

Chris Rock.

Also, he was supposed to be Stefan in the height of Stefan and Bill was like, I'm not

doing it.

And I was like, okay.

They were like, send my hand out there.

Like I was an idiot and was like, I'll do it like thinking like it was going to benefit

me somehow.

Like the garden was going to be like, didn't think I would be walking home crying dressed

as drunk uncle because I just walked down the stairs of Madison Square Garden and out

the front door.

I didn't even go to my car that was waiting for me.

I just went the way I knew how to get out of Madison Square Garden and walked home.

And SNL was like, where's the costume?

I was like, it's on my bathroom floor.

It looks like you got evaporated.

There is not a, people don't understand bombing until you've walked out of the room

in stage makeup.

Until you've called your mom and go like, do I just come home?

Did I make a mistake?

I did that.

That's the story I told about bombing on Mom's Night Out.

When they filmed this stand-up show for Mom's and I needed the money, it's like 2011.

And they're like, hey, you kind of do some jokes, it's about my mom dating a bunch

of dudes.

And they were like, hey, you should do those jokes.

And I went and I did it and I bombed, I bombed bad.

And then they called, I was still a waiter and they called me while I was waiting tables

and they went, why don't you come back tonight, we'll do it again, why don't you try softening

the jokes.

It was at 1515 Broadway, TRL Studios.

So Times Square was out the window.

I used to work there.

And I bombed so bad that I get off stage, grab my backpack out of the green room full stage

makeup, went downstairs, went to a bar, got a beer called my mom and it was like, am I wrong?

Yeah.

Oh yeah.

Am I wrong in doing this?

And she was like, I don't think so, but I wasn't there and I was like, yeah, yeah,

bombing, drunk, someone in New York City saw you sad as drunk uncle near the garden

and was like, is that couldn't be?

Then what do you think you walk around the costume?

I'm pretty sure, someone, I hope someone saw that, yeah, I always, that's the one.

You know what, someone gave me recently, which is crazy, which it's crazy, is someone

gave me a photo, it's like they took a, I used to work at Pizzeria Uno in Central Avenue

on in Yonkers and someone has, there's a photo of them at Pizzeria Uno and I'm in the

background cleaning the bar, watching Saturday Night Live.

No way.

I would watch it every Saturday.

I would like lost customers because they were like, can we watch the game?

And I was like, no.

Yeah.

You know what I'm saying?

Saturday.

And they're like, Bob, you have tables.

And I'm like, I don't care.

But you know what?

But you know what?

TV.
