25
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: my turn. Nailed it anyway, I'm having so much fun

26
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: here I almost forgot I have a job to do.

27
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: I have to interview today's guest. Not that he's a

28
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: forgettable guy. No, In fact, I would say today's interview

29
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: it is actually unforgettable. For better or worse, you decide that. Uh,

30
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,119
Speaker 1: it is with my good friend Oscar. Noon. Yes, Now

31
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: where do we get about Oscar Oscar? Well, first off,

32
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: Oscar is truly one of the funniest people I have

33
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: ever met. Truly, he makes me laugh harder than any

34
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: person on the planet, which is great, except it's a

35
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: problem when you're shooting a television show. Yes, he made

36
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: things very difficult for myself and for Angela to keep

37
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: it together back in the account. In his corner, he's

38
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: like a comedic communion, which is to say, he changes

39
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: shape and tone comedy styles for whatever fits the exact

40
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 1: moment you're in. He is hilarious. So when we're doing

41
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: these interviews, right, I was very well researched, and the

42
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: day that we're going to interview Oscar, I ripped up

43
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: the papers. I just said, this is not gonna do

44
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: us any good today, guys, because what we're gonna get

45
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: is what we're gonna get. It's gonna be funny, but

46
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if we're gonna get any astute observations

47
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: unless Mr Nunyez is in the mood, because he is

48
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: very difficult to pen down. But I have to tell

49
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: you of all of the interviews I did, this was

50
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: the most fun. I hope you have fun listening to it.

51
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: But either way, you can sit back now and listen

52
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: to me working my hardest to get a serious answer

53
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: out of Oscar. Noon. Yes, and now while you're I

54
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna go play some golf. Bubble and Squeak.

55
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: I love it, Bubble and Squeak on Bubble and Squeaker,

72
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: were you doing before the office started? First of all,

73
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: you have way too many notes in front of You've

74
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: got like reams of paper like sheets. I'm trying to

75
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 1: keep the paper business. I'm trying to keep papers. And

76
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 1: you're taking this seriously and good for you? Good for you?

77
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: Are your parents? Would you try would you try to

78
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: take it seriously? I think I would ask to extent

79
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: look at all this paper. I've never used as much

80
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: paper in my life. I know what's on it? What's

81
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: Here's the thing that you have. You have four pages?

82
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: Why was this? Was? This was Andy Buckley? Was like,

83
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: why he has a lot to offer? In what way?

84
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 1: He was? You know, he was the boss of the show,

85
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 1: right he was? He was in charge, which makes him,

86
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: which makes him important? Was he for the all seasons?

87
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: He wasn't? He came in later. It stands the reason

88
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: that I would have you would need more paper for me,

89
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: because that's the thing. You would think that, But that's

90
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: not the case. No, there's only four pages, and I

91

131
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: we'll mess it up us being America. I'm like, they're

132
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: not going to do it right. They're not going to

133
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,240

134
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: for the awkward as you know, the long It's just

135
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. So I was I was happy. I

136
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: was excited I got the pilot, but I was like,

137
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: I'm not going to quit my day job. Also at

138
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: that time, do you remember I'm sure that people know

139
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: by now because we've been off the air since sixty two,

140
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: so we've gone over this. When we were all cast,

141
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: the lead wasn't cast yet. They were looking at the

142
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: am I right, bet my buddy Damon Jones, Andy richter

143
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: In and who else. There's a fourth guy that I

144
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: always forget. But all these four men are lovely ladies

145
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: and gentlemen, and Damon's a personal friend of mine. From

146
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: the Groundlings, they're all lovely, and I still thought, Okay,

147
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: that's fine. But then Steve was working on something and

148
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: it fell through and he became available, and when they

149
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: said Steve Carrell is going to be the lead, I thought, wow,

150
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: this is now, this is special, this is like something's

151
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: happening here, because I was such a huge fan of

152
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: his from anchor mang and all that. But I really

153
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: thought I loved The Daily Show when John Stewart was on,

154
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: but I used to love Steve on The Daily Show.

155
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: And when we when he got on the office, I thought,

156
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 1: we've got a shot at this because I think he's great. Yeah,

157
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: And did you you knew Angela before the show? Right?

158
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: How did you know Angela? I believe from the Groundlings?

159
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: And I didn't know she got the job. I showed

160
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: up for work and she was there in her accountant's office,

161
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: and that's like an actor's dream come to I'm like,

162
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: what are you doing here? She's like, what are you

163
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: doing here. I'm like, oh my god, Angela, we're on

164
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: this show. We're on this bloody show. What did you

165
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: think of me? Because then it was just you and Angela?

166
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: And then I was like, the new guy, weren't you

167
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: there already? What are there for the pilot? It was

168
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: it was clearly you don't have any recollection about meeting me.

169
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,839
Speaker 1: It was Kay Flannery, who wasn't there. I knew you

170
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 1: were funny from the commercials. I knew who you were.

171
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: You had that the Deli commercial out, which was brilliant,

172
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: and I'm like, nicest thing you've ever said about me. Well, look,

173
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: I knew you were. I'm like, this guy's funny and talented.

174
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: But I know how funny Angela is. And I'm like, oh,

175
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: they don't know how funny. They're gonna find out. They

176
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: must have known from the audition, but her character doesn't

177
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 1: let her be your character. Let should be funny right

178
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: out of the gate, and Angela and I had to

179
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 1: hold back until the show got up and and then okay,

180
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 1: let's let them be a little crazy. Now. Do you

181
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: remember um, Nope, clearly, not really, but shooting the pilot,

182
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: do you remember us coming in every day on the

183
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: pilot and doing thirty minutes of busy work. Yes, I

184
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: do remember that. Yeah. Yeah. First of all, just to

185
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 1: go back a little bit, Ben and Greg were very

186
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: protective of the original show and that was really cool.

187
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: I remember him talking about, oh no, we're going to

188
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: have those there's not going to be a laugh track

189
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: and there's gonna be long, and I was like, whoa that.

190
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: Plus Steve, I'm like, okay, here we go. And I

191
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: remember people people are like, they're such good actors just

192
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: and I'm like, well, you're sing like, you're in the office,

193
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: you're on your computer, you're you're doing something on the computer,

194
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: and you don't want to be bothered by a camera.

195
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: That's pretty easy to do. See, that's the thing. People

196
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: are like, where does the thing take place? It takes

197
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: place on a satellite, or it's a station on a satellite,

198
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 1: or it's underwater and there's it's the future. It's like, no,

199
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: it's just it's a garage taxi. It's a garage with people.

200
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: That's it. It's a bar, that's it. It's an office.

201
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: What are your sell It doesn't matter. It's paper, it

202
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: could be anything. It's the characters it's not where it

203
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 1: is a laboratory in space in the future and whatever.

204
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 1: It's just it's character building. Yeah, what did you used

205
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: to do when we were supposed to be doing fake work? Gosh,

206
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I would doodle? Did I bring a

207
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: book in? I pretended to work and I don't know.

208
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: It was we used to pass We used to pass

209
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: notes back to each other. Angela still has some doodles

210
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: that I did back in the day. It was very

211
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: exciting to be there. So everyone has to just kind

212
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: of can you hear the card? The microphone picks up everything,

213
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. I was playing with a card and

214
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: Brian literally slapped it out of my hand because God forbid,

215
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: I see I go the other way. I wanted to hear.

216
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: I want them to hear like clinking of glass and

217
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: it's real, we're real people. You're build yes, but but yeah,

218
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: it had to be a boring workplace. And as a

219
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 1: matter of fact, like some thing's worked, and I remember

220
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: like some like the b roll the camera with scan

221
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: and some people knew they were being shot, and some

222
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 1: people would just act normal like nothing was happening, or

223
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 1: they didn't want to be shotting. Other people would try

224
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: to do bits and don't do the bit. Don't do

225
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: the bit right because it's it's still funny to see

226
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: someone just looking over and like rolling their eyes, like,

227
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: what what do you want from me? I'm kind of

228
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: do some work. We were boring before the cameras showed up.

229
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 1: It wasn't a pilot for us. We're office workers. It's

230
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: a documentary king. Did you bring anything you know, like

231
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: they asked us to bring in, like personal items and stuff.

232
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,719
Speaker 1: Did you bring anything in like like John had the

233
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: picture if he and his best friend. He didn't pay

234
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: me enough for that. I was just an extra when

235
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: I first got there, bringing something from my own life.

236
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: Make me a regular, then we'll talk there. Looky, I

237
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: was there. What am I gonna bringing? You know what

238
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: I bought? I brought in seriously a picture of me

239
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: and my dog, Yeah, boat, and I had it on

240
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: the thing. It was there the whole time. It was

241
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: there the whole time, So I did have my dog.

242
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: She passed away recently. Minister Schnauzer the best um Leela

243
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: was her name. She's a little black mini Schnauzer and

244
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: she was there in one of my pictures on the thing. Yeah,

245
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: that's what I bought in um. The second episode we

246
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: shot was Diversity Day. Yes, it was fantastic, fantastic, not good,

247
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: excellent script from a young seventeen year old. He used

248
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: to show up on his skateboard b J Noback. How

249
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: much did I hate him? And still do? He was

250
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: seventeen at the time. No, but he was young. I'm

251
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: saying that for comedic effect. He's so talented, is my point.

252
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: He's so talented. That was a really good script. It

253
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: was a very good, so good it has in it

254
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: for me, one of my favorite jokes in the entire show,

255
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: What was it Michael asking you what he could call

256
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: you that was less offensive than Mexican? Was that that episode? Something?

257
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: Something less offensive? God? Yeah, I guess so. Yeah, he's

258
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: like Oscar and he was so serious about his like

259
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: Oscar and trying to be gentle. Is there something that

260
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: I can call you? Oh man? And he would flip

261
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: the chair around when he turned a chair around that

262
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: knew and everyone just had a hold bite their tongues

263
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: so they wouldn't laugh because he would That would make

264
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: him extra serious. So was it offensive for you as

265
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: a Cuban to have to play in Mexican. What kind

266
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: of question is that he's giggling? Everyone? Oh, look at

267
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: me with any questions, Look at me. Let me try

268
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: to trip him up. What if I said yes? What

269
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: if I'm like no? I mean, like, why, you know,

270
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: what's wrong with being Cuban? That's my question. I don't know.

271
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: I think I think why why was Oscar Martinez? I

272
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: don't know why they made him Mexican? I would have

273
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: been fun if they would have made him Cuban. Here's

274
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: the thing. I think it was because of that joke.

275
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: Oh right, I guess he could have said Cuban. I

276
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: think he would have been Cuban because we're in Pennsylvania.

277
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: If the if the show shott in l A, there's

278
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: more Mexicans out here, but on the East coast that's

279
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: where all the Cubans were. But either way, the joke

280
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: is funny. It's it's ridiculous because Michael Scott got away

281
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: with so much stuff because he genuinely was coming from

282
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: a place of innocence. That's how a vapid. He's like, Oscar,

283
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: is there anything less offensive? And he's like, no, it's

284
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: not offensive. And he's like, well, he's still not convinced.

285
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I'm I'm telling you, I'm Mexican. I'm

286
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: telling you, Well, okay, if you say so, you know,

287
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: fe you and then and then you would hate him,

288
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: hate him, hate him, and then something horrible would happen

289
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: to him, and then you'd feel sorry for him. And

290
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: then he'd reel you wing and you're like, oh, he's

291
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: not such a bad guy, and then he does it again.

292
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: I think that was the circle of the show. That

293
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: was the circle of the show. It's a wonderful formula.

294
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 1: Were you at the time aware people now everyone's just

295
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: gonna have to go to the bathrow. Well, if they

296
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: have to go, they have to go, We'll still be here.

297
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 1: Put hit your pause button. Can they pause a podcast?

298
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: You don't know if you can pause a podcast. Yeah,

299
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: you can write on your phone. People are listening to

300
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: this driving around in their cars. Whatever, right, Please, somebody

301
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: make a note to not ever ever use that um.

302
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: Were you aware though at that time? Like, did it

303
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: feel taboo what we were doing? Did it feel like

304
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 1: we were doing something different talking about race in that way?

305
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: I love edgy stuff. I love not being condescending to

306
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 1: the audience. I like being an intelligent show. It's like

307
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 1: we didn't we didn't have to explain ourselves to the audience.

308
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 1: And I think, I think if it's genuinely funny, you

309
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: could pretty much make a joke about anything. But it's

310
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,719
Speaker 1: got to be funny. If it's not funny, I mean,

311
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: they'll let they'll let you know. The show was intelligent.

312
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: The show was very funny. It came from the right place.

313
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: His his character wasn't he wasn't mean, he wasn't a bully.

314
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: Everything was organic. He there was a reason if he

315
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: was upset, there was a genuine reason why he was upset.

316
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 1: He wasn't picking on you because he's a terrible person.

317
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 1: Something happened and he's like, I'm upset, and this is

318
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: how I'm going to act out. But there's a reason

319
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: why he's doing it. Right have you? Have you watched

320
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 1: Diversity Day recently? I I've never actually watched the show

321
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 1: per se, but I shot it. We were there, We

322
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 1: shot the show, Everyone went home, and people came back

323
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 1: and talked about and that's how I got my information

324
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: about the show. I don't like to see myself perform.

325
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: I'm kidding. I watched there's the actors who don't like

326
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: to see themselves performing. I don't watch a lot. Do

327
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: you watch everything you do your self indulgent? I don't.

328
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 1: I don't, sus I don't. I don't watch everything I do. Brian,

329
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 1: I watched this every Thursday went while we were shooting,

330
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: and then one time I went back and binge watched

331
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: the whole thing one time and maybe there were two

332
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 1: okay episodes there was. The rest were good or really good.

333
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: I was so impressed. See, I still feel like Diversity

334
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,719
Speaker 1: Day holds up like it holds up Oh that one,

335
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: yeah for sure. Yeah, but they all kind of do

336
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: a lot of Like I said, I think there was

337
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 1: two that I'm like, oh what happened there? But just

338
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 1: like one or two out of nine seasons, that's very good.

339
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: M You know, one of the signature episodes of the show,

340
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: and certainly for you, was gay witch Hunt. How and

341
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 1: when did you find out that Oscar Martinez was actually gay? Okay?

342
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: I will ask that, but before I ask answer that question,

343
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the people on the show

344
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: as people, not not our actors or whatever. Greg Daniels

345
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 1: is such a cool guy that I needed a way

346
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 1: out of the show so I can go shoot halfway

347
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: Home on Comedy Central because when it rains, it pours

348
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. And I was like in a dilemma,

349
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 1: and I remember asking Steve Correll. He was walking across

350
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: the park a lot and I ran up something like, Steve,

351
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 1: I love a show. I love being on it, meaning

352
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: the office, but I have a meeting with not meeting.

353
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: They wanted to do a show with Comedy Center. Were

354
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 1: past the meeting part Comedy Center wanted to do a show.

355
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: What what do I do? What can I an? He said, Oscar,

356
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: do everything. Don't say no to any work, do everything.

357
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: Figuring it out is not your problem. That's up to

358
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 1: your managers and agents. Say yes everything, They'll figure it out.

359
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh cool, okay. And Greg Daniels figured

360
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 1: it out. What a lovely man, what what a lovely

361
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: human being, Oscar. You get We'll figure a way to

362
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 1: get you out of the show. Go do your ten

363
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: shows or whatever and then come back and will fold

364
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: you back in. So Greg, let you leave for how

365
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: many episodes? I think a seasons. It feels like there's

366
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: a season where I'm not there. Yeah, you you were

367
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,320

371
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,360
Speaker 1: I don't know which came for. I think I think

372
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: they were going to make me gay anyway? Does that

373
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 1: make sense? I think so? And then they're like, oh,

374
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: let's make him get and get him out this way,

375
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: which is a great way to get him out. How

376
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: crazy that He's like, I can't work in this hostile

377
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,320

379
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,119

381
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,440

382
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. At the time that you were out

383
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: at on Gay witch Hunt, your character Oscar Martinez was

384
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 1: the only l g b T person of color to

385
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: be a regular on any sitcom at that time? Were

386
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: you aware of that? And why didn't they have a

387
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,479
Speaker 1: thing for me like a parade or an honorary something

388
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: I wasn't told or given anything. You were given nothing. No,

389
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: that's a big deal. That's a big deal. Yeah. Why

390
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: because it's the first one. I'm like, uh, like Barack Obama.

391
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: Not to say, like Barack Obama. I'm not saying your words,

392
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: not mine. I was the first GPT guy to be

393
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: out to being a serious person of color. Yeah, that

394
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 1: was both, not just one. But how do you feel

395
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: about the fact that you were that you're not really

396
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: gay or a person of color. I'm a person of color.

397
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: I'm a Latino, I'm you are. I don't see colors. Brother.

00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: cause this is fine by me. I think it's great. Yeah,

400
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 1: well you won awards, right, that's how I planned it. No, No,

401
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: I don't think I I was nominated for some gay

402
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: award and I took my two gay friends with me.

403
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 1: Maybe yes. And I went with my friends Michael and Joel,

404
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: who I have known forever, and they were gay, and

405
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: they were rolling their eyes. They're like, you asshole, you're

406
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,080

Speaker 1: than you, guys, you guys, you gotta get on board.

408
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: And they're like, oh my god, Joel wasn't act up

409
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: like fighting the fight for real, and he's like, good lord,

410
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: what is happening. I'm like, don't be jealous, it's funny.

411
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: Did you feel a responsibility? Did you feel the gay community? Yeah?

412
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: Or the Latino community they should be lucky to have me.

413
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: The gay and Latino community. No, I know, But did

414
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: you feel out they're lucky? Start? Do you feel a responsibility?

415
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 1: Did they feel a responsibility to me? Ask them turn

416
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: the tables around? Well? No, probably not. Now I didn't,

417
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: you'd probably be shunned from the LGBT community. I disagree.

418
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: I No. I think I'd be raised up high. The

419
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 1: kids would get it. They raised me up high. I'd

420
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: be invited to YouTube videos. All sorts of ship would

421
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: be happening. Here's the thing. I'd be invited to YouTube videos.

422
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 1: That's the kids. That's what they're doing now, Brian, that's

423
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,239
Speaker 1: the best thing that somebody who could offer you. It's

424
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: a YouTube video. That's what they're doing. Believe it or not,

425
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: they get millions of hits now, listen, this is the deal.

426
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: The I didn't. I never thought, oh, like the pressure

427
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: responsibility because I knew that the show was golden, that

428
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: we were a responsible show to begin with. So it's

429
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: lovingly taken care of all everything. I he came from

430
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: a place of he's compassionate, but he's a bit of

431
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: an asshole too, because he's a little bit of a snob,

432
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 1: just like me. That's where they got it from, you know.

433
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 1: For all for the show being people are like Michael Sony,

434
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: it's a very gentle, compassionate show. It really is. Yeah,

435
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: So I'm like, yeah, it's fine. Did finding out that

436
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: you were gay change your character? No? I couldn't. I couldn't.

437
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 1: It couldn't change my character because I was already gay, right,

438
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 1: But I think that's interesting that you realized, like, no,

439
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: I'm just a guy who works in an office, and

440
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: the fact that I'm Latino, or the fact that I'm

441
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 1: homosexual or like those those things don't define who I am.

442
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: That's right. But but this, this is happening now. It

443
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 1: wasn't happening while we were shooting, but now because of Netflix,

444
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 1: we're getting I'm getting a lot of people coming up

445

459
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: know that. It's crazy you think you're just doing a show.

460
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: I didn't think. I'm just I'm not even like a

461
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: like a like A. My character isn't particularly noble. He's

462
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: just a regular guy. And they see so much. No,

465
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: before that you're just like Obama when Obama better? Can

466
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: I say that? Is that? Do you know what I'm saying?

467
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: Do you remember, uh when Obama was elected? Yes? Do

468
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: you feel like there was any discussion on set or

469
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 1: did anything happen around set. When Obama was elected. It

470
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 1: was very traumatic because it was the first time in

471
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: my life where the President and First Lady were younger

472
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: than I am. And it's gonna happen that hasn't happened

473
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: to you. It's shocking. It is awful, and I'm like,

474
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 1: oh my god, I love them so and they're so young.

475
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: But do you know the two letters we have it

476
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: at the US remember you, even though what they are right.

477
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 1: The two letters that came in there was one letter,

478
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: a fan letter, one by catering somewhere backstage Aaron Sarkin,

479
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: and then Steve Carrell came in with a letter sent

480
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: to his house and he's like, you guys, don't want

481
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: to read you this letter. And it's like, oh, dear Steve,

482
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 1: I just want you to know that at the White

483
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: House the Office, Thursday is family Night and Michelle and

484
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 1: I and the girls get together and it was a

485
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: letter that the President sent Steve Carrell because the Obama's

486
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 1: are a fan of the show, and he said he

487
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 1: showed it to his children and they were little and

488
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 1: they're like, can we touch and he's like, nope, just

489
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: look just look, that's pretty cool. That's very cool. Yeah.

490
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: You and certainly over in accounting you were really the

491
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: straight man, like you had your idiosyncrasies, yes, I think so,

492
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: But in the office you were you were the barometer

493
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: of reason very often Jim and myself. Yes, which is

494
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: what they're talking about in the coalition of reason. Yeah,

495
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:26,239
Speaker 1: that's it. Yeah, are you you know if you're if

496
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: you're looking at sort of the history of comedy in

497
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: a way, how does what is it? Oh, come on,

498
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: you can do it, Brian, I believe, and you ask

499
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: you a question. The archetype of the straight man sort

500
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: of in the history of comedy. Can you talk about

501
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: that a little bit? Is that? Is that easier for

502
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: you to do or is that harder? Oh? They're both good.

503
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: It's apples and oranges. It's lovely. It was a lovely

504
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: character because he's he's a straight man, but he still

505
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: has a little bit delusions of grandeur, which you need

506
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: because that you need that right that Well, nobody's perfect

507
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: or nobody exactly, yeah, because Angela was a little off too.

508
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: She was almost there, but then she was a little off.

509
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: Everybody was a little off, right, Toby, every single even Jim.

510
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: He was too much of a prankster. He didn't take

511
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:22,719
Speaker 1: the job seriously. He was a little too right juvenile.

512
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: But you you know, I think so many of the

513
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: scenes between you and Steve were so special because you

514
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: know you had Yeah, yeah, did you just sit there

515
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: and stare at him, just stare at him? Well, and

516
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,239
Speaker 1: you would do that well, he said, things would get

517
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: the laugh because you did that. Yeah, that's all you

518
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: had to do, stare at him. And people at home go,

519
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: what is he thinking? He can't say anything, it's his job,

520
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: he's being good, and now he's excusing themself. Thank you

521
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: and just get up and leave right because he's like

522
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: Oscar and it's the build up, the fucking Correll build up, Oscar.

523
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,959
Speaker 1: Can I see you for a moment? Sit down? Um,

524
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: I ask you something. Um, I'm going to go in

525
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: for a colonoscope. And I was, what can I do

526
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: to make it more comfortable for him or me? And

527
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: he just trails it off and just leaves it like

528
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: it's like it's a solid, like a reasonable question to

529
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 1: ask me. And I'm supposed what am I supposed to

530
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: tell him? I think I think I just excused myself

531
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, Mike, I just got up and left.

532
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: You found out that Steve was leaving. How how did

533
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: you feel about that when on the show? Oh? For real, Yeah,

534
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: for real. It was very sad. It was very sad.

535
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I was very sad. And I try and

536
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: I didn't want to cry because I'm Cuban and I

537
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: was you can't, I just we don't. So everybody was

538
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: crying very freely, and I did cry when We're in

539
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: the warehouse and we gave him a stupid hockey short

540
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: or something that I did have to excuse myself and

541
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: went back behind and the boxes and cried and because

542
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: freaking and Paul Eberstein started crying, and then I'm like,

543
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: oh man, this is just crazy. What did you think

544
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: at the time or now the greater loss to the show?

545
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: Losing Steve or Michael? What do you mean Michael Scott,

546
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: the the character. Yeah, like, like Steve was a great

547
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: guy himself and was like our leader, Steve, Yes, Steve Carrell.

548
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: What was the greater loss to the show, Losing Steve

549
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: Carrell or losing Michael Scott? Are you asking this question

550
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: of everyone? I've asked it a couple of times. It's

551
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: a tricky question. Yeah, most of them have said that.

552
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: I don't don't think I had anyone else not understand

553
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: the question. But they're both Well, it's a no win situation,

554
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,719
Speaker 1: the questions. And though I can't be I always want

555
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: to be a hero at the end of the question.

556
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: I always wanted people to say, look at that kid,

557
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: look at that Oscar and just let him continue doing

558
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: what he's doing. He's wonderful. And now some people are

559
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: gonna say, what you picked the wrong one. All right,

560
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: here's the deal. Let's see, losing Steve was difficult. Yeah,

561
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: but that character, man, that's the whole show. Man, that's

562
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: the whole show. There's no show without Michael Scott. But

563
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: then there was Yeah, but it wasn't the same. That

564
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: character is just so, and it's it's it's a perfect character.

565
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 1: You know. Ever Devas did it. And then there's just

566
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: that smug he thinks he's better and smarter and everything. Uh,

567
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: non apologetic. Yeah, just crazy. Um after nine years, were

568
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: you happy with the resolution of Oscar running for state senator? Yeah?

569
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: I was fine. I think they put a lot of

570
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: thought into it. They asked us for ideas all the time.

571
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: And I'm like, you guys are fine. I don't. I

572
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: have some ideas, but they're not great. You guys are fine. Yeah,

573
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 1: you know, Yeah, I thought the show ended well. Did

574
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: you feel like when the show wrapped up where you

575
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: did you feel like it was time? Were you happy

576
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: with how it wrapped up? Though? I am. I could

577
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: not ask for more from Greg Daniels, and especially he's

578
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: such a gentleman. He checked in with us. He doesn't

579
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 1: have to do that. He's like, what do you guys

580
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: think I'm kind of done, and we're like, yeah, whatever

581
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:10,760
Speaker 1: you want, right, Yeah? Yeah, he's awesome. Well, it enabled

582
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 1: us to tell the full story to Yeah, and the

583
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: documentary being seen by the characters, no one, no, nothing

584
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 1: else to do. I get a big kick. I know

585
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: people want it back and they keep asking us, and

586
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, you guys, what and if we go back

587
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 1: we might ruin it? What are we gonna write? What

588
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: is there left to do? They love the characters. I

589
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,839
Speaker 1: get it, I get it. They love the characters. Well,

590
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: we've talked about this a lot that the show it

591
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 1: was the number one scripted show on NBC. Yet the

592
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 1: show now is more popular than it ever was. Why

593
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,240
Speaker 1: do you think that is? I don't know. The kids

594
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: love it. Before when we started doing these conferences that

595
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: we started doing this year, and people were coming in

596
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: with eleven year old and they're like, look, my kid

597
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 1: watched the show. And I'm like, okay, And now it's eight.

598
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 1: People are like this eight year old is a fan

599
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: of the show. I'm like, is that good? And they're like, yeah,

600
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 1: they love it. It's fine. Kids love it. High school

601
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 1: kids love it. College kids love it. You know, I

602
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: get it when I was when I was growing up.

603
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: For me, it was believe it or not. The Odd Couple.

604
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 1: I thought the Odd Couple was like so funny, even

605
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 1: even before you know, taxi or cheers. I would have

606
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: my head would have explored if I would have ran

607
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 1: into Tony Randall walking around, you know, the streets of

608
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: New York City. Is that where you learned to speak English?

609
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: The Odd Couple? Um? No, I think it was The

610
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 1: Flying Nun. Actually I did learn English from TV? Did you?

611
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: But but what show you The Flying Nun taught you English? No?

612
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: My first memories of TV are a black and white

613
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:46,240
Speaker 1: TV show called sing Along with Mitch. This is memories

614
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 1: of Massachusetts and the car Bonnet Show, and I thought

615
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:53,320
Speaker 1: Harvey Corman was the funniest thing in the world. I'm like,

616
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: I want to do what that guy does. I don't

617
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: know what it is he's doing, but I want to

618
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: do that. Yeah, Harvey Corman. And then Tony Randol was

619
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 1: the other influence. You are a lot like Harvey Corman.

620
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: He's the best. He's so funny. He would come out

621
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 1: and I loved like he would come and I was little,

622
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:12,879
Speaker 1: and he would come out and do this bit where

623
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: they were already on stage, like doing a Civil war

624
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: whatever they were doing, ken Berry and Calburnett in costume,

625
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 1: and then he would make an entrance. Harvey Korman would

626
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 1: make an entrance and the audience would clap, and instead

627
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 1: of going and joining them, he would pretend like he

628
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:29,919
Speaker 1: had no choice, like he would walk over and break

629
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,839
Speaker 1: the fourth wall and bow and like stay there two

630
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: minutes and carlburnets on stage waiting and my father would

631
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: lose ship and he's like, oh, star, he come do

632
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: what they are waiting for him. But no, he going, Hey,

633
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 1: bocome on Sodom. I'm bitch. He comes and I'm like, oh,

634
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 1: he's not really mad at him. He gets it. He

635
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,959
Speaker 1: gets it that he's that he's breaking the fourth wall,

636
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, Harry Corman, he knows what he's doing.

637
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 1: He knows that he's like, my dad's not mad at

638
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: and like all these ships happening. I'm like, this is

00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:01,919
Speaker 1: fine through your head because that's one of your favorite bits.

640
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: Now you've stolen it from Harvey. Stole it from Harvey Corman. Yeah,

646
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,280
Speaker 1: if we didn't get like two seasons. Three season pilot

647
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,000
