Speaker 1: of Amy and TJ. Rose.

8
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 2: That was I thought it was the other thing you

9
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 2: did before when he caught us getting ready to get

10
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 2: ready and you turned it on like Daryl Hammond.

11
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: He thought I was faking it. I wasn't faking I'm excited.

Speaker 1: Who can't be excited to talk to Daryl Hammond? Now,

13
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: you gotta be kidding. If you go through and ask

14
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: anybody of a certain age, at least your favorite SNL

15
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: characters of all time or cast members, you cannot go

00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: too far without his name coming up. Oh my god.

17
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 2: No. And the likeness he could have of your favorite

18
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 2: or least favorite politician. He nailed it in a way

19
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 2: that most people could not even dream of. And so yes,

20
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 2: if you closed your eyes, it was as if you

21
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: were hearing Bill Clinton. It was as if you were

22
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 2: hearing Ted Copple. That was one of my favorite ones

23
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: was Sean Connery. Oh, Sean Connery and Jeffardy because you know,

24
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 2: I'm a huge double O seven fan, and Sean Connery

25
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 2: is not.

26
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: There's nothing he does in those movies that make you

27
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: feel like he's a dweep, that he's a moron, right,

28
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: He's always in charge, he gets The ladies said, why

29
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: why did I just go into an impression just then?

30
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: But he give that was bold, okay.

31
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: And maybe maybe not smart, but we're so excited and

32
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: I did.

33
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: I made an ass out of myself because I was

34
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: that excited to have him here. So can you please

35
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: pick it up from here so I can make a

36
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: fool O.

37
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 2: Darryl Hammond is on the podcast today, and yes, you

38
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: can tell we are very excited. I actually was listening

39
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 2: to Cray this morning and was blown away by the

40
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: full story. I mean, we've you know, I know you

41
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 2: have been very vocal about your We always love to

42
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 2: make fun of people who call their lives.

43
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: Journeys, but truly you have been on one and we

44
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: all are on.

45
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: One, and so you've been very vulnerable and very open

46
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: over the last decade or so talking about getting to

47
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,399
Speaker 2: where you are today. So my first question is for you,

48
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: how are you today, Darryl Hammond? How you doing?

49
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm pretty good. I have to work it,

50
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 3: be healthy. I have to do cognitive therapy exercises. I

51
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 3: go to therapy, I go to twelve Step meetings, do

52
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 3: volunteer work. I do lots, and I do a lot

53
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 3: of yoga and a lot of meditation. So after all

54
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 3: that stuff I'm doing, okay.

55
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: Just okay, all that then, just okay.

56
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, I don't know the days of joy

57
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 3: jumps and you know, jumping up in the air and

58
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 3: clicking your heels together and shouting eureka, maybe behind it.

59
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 2: Wait, but you had those days?

60
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 3: I did? I did? You know? Back when I was

61
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 3: in SNL, it was a real up and down thing

62
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 3: for me because most of the time I left that

63
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 3: show thinking that that I'm going to say fifty percent

64
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 3: of the time when I left that show, I thought

65
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 3: I had disgraced to myself. You know, someone sent me

66
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 3: a picture recently of me a read through with Tracy Morgan,

67
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 3: and the memories sort of came flooding back. How dissatisfied

68
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 3: it was with what it was I was doing in it.

69
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 3: I think because of the degree of difficulty. I mean,

70
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 3: you go to see a Vegas tribute app someone doing

71
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 3: an impression. It's brilliant and we love them, but they've

72
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 3: worked years on it. Now try doing it on Wednesday

73
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 3: before Saturday. Never done this before, never done this one before.

74
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 3: And you think you're gonna have forty eight hours before Saturday,

75
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 3: you're not. You might have five or six because there's

76
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 3: a whole bunch of other things you got to do.

77
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 3: So taking that out there, there are times where my

78
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 3: nerve would get so nerves would get so bad. Will

79
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 3: I'd say, why am I doing this? Damn? And I

80
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 3: know why I'm doing it because I'm addicted to it.

81
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 3: I'm a junkie for the high wire, right or I

82
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 3: wasn't you were?

83
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,799
Speaker 1: Would you say? You talk about all the work you've

84
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: you've done and the therapy and are you at the

85
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: healthiest you've ever been in your life right now?

86
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 3: Oddly enough, so it may be so. I mean, last

87
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 3: week I was in a two weeks agousin Spokane. There

88
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 3: was a club that I wanted to play and I

89
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 3: did five one hour sets and I have to say

90
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 3: I was pleased. And you tried doing a one hour set.

91
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 3: It's not just the physicality of walking around. It's you

92
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 3: got to be on point for an out, do you

93
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 3: know what I mean? And this as went well, So

94
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 3: I worked really hard at it. But I don't know

95
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 3: if it's the healthiest I've ever been. There's probably a

96
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 3: time when I was, you know, when I was when

97
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 3: I was a teenager, I was a pretty strong kid,

98
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 3: a good baseball player, but out of my mum. So

99
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 3: this is the whole I got the whole package here.

100
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 3: Now I can't do as many chut ups as I

101
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 3: used to, but you.

102
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 2: Know, yeah, physicality is one thing, but mental health mentally mentally,

103
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 2: are you are you the strongest you've been? I mean,

104
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: you put in so much work, You've put so much

105
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 2: out there. You've you've you've You've gone from being institutionalized

106
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 2: to being on I think at one time thirteen different

107
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 2: medications and all on a path to try and find

108
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 2: the whys and then figure out the how tos. So

109
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 2: where are you on your mental health right now? Would

110
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 2: you say you're the healthiest mentally that you've been?

111
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 3: I think so absolutely. I mean you were talking about

112
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 3: for most of my life, certainly the times that I

113
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 3: described in the play crame it just wasn't a way

114
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 3: to self suit. You know. You would drink and that

115
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 3: didn't really do it, you know, and you could smoke

116
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 3: weed and that didn't really quite do it. You know,

117
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 3: I needed help. I needed a doctor with doctor K

118
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 3: in this play, who could come in and break inside

119
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 3: my head without injuring me and find out what was

120
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 3: going on in there. You know, trauma therapy is kind

121
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 3: of in a semptancy, and you know, he could just

122
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 3: as easy have killed mhm. You know people that trauma

123
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 3: doctors that don't know what to do when they get

124
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 3: inside there can really guide that person off off the path.

125
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 3: And you know, it said, I don't know what it's

126
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 3: like today, but back then, you know it was said,

127
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 3: you know, in order to save your life, sometimes have

128
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 3: to risk it, you know. And I don't know. I

129
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 3: ended up with this guy who's one hundred years ahead

130
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 3: of his times. I'm I have stathesia, I color code

131
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 3: all my characters, and he used that to break into

132
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 3: my head and figure out what was going on in there.

133
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 3: He used colors. I mean, talk about a freak shot, right,

134
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 3: I mean, that's freaky, you know what I mean? So

135
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 3: I people have said this is the King's speech meets

136
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 3: one flow of the cucus nests at SNL. Oh, that's

137
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 3: pretty close.

138
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: That's close. How many times, Daryl, can you list or

139
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: maybe have a number. How many times will you misdiagnosed?

140
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: How many things that they going to doctors and talking

141
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,559
Speaker 1: to folks that they list all these things they thought

142
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: were wrong with you. How long of a list was that.

143
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 3: Well, let's let me get boring here for a second,

144
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:53,119
Speaker 3: because in the play we say thirty nine, and that's

145
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 3: pretty accurate because each time you go to a treatment

146
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 3: center you have three Okay, so three. I had been

147
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 3: to six treatment centers or something like that. That's at

148
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 3: least eighteen. But the figure we use is thirty nine,

149
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 3: and that's just about right. I mean, people who had

150
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 3: the faintest idea what was wrong with me, you know,

151
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 3: could not figure it out. And here we meet this guy,

152
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 3: doctor K who said, you're this way because of something

153
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 3: that happened to you. Well, that was the Hall Elijah

154
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 3: chorus moment of my life because no one knew what

155
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 3: the hell was wrong with me. And I was like young,

156
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 3: you know, I had been in SNL for a while.

157
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 3: It was in my forties. I've been waiting for that

158
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 3: kind of my whole life. Something happened and then you know,

159
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 3: of course you got to be a genius like this

160
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 3: guy and break into this person's brain and pull out

161
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 3: what's in there, you know, And he did that. I

162
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 3: don't know how much of the Cray you've listened to,

163
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 3: but he did that with a series of dramatic exercise.

164
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, it's remarkable to hear the process and

165
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 2: what you went through. I was also surprised to learn.

166
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 2: I didn't realize this. You were thirty nine before you

167
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 2: first even auditioned for SNL.

168
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 3: Well, I auditioned in my late twenties and early thirties

169
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 3: and was turned down twice, and then I couldn't get

170
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 3: another audition until I was thirty nine. Way too old

171
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 3: for the show by then. But I had started practicing

172
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 3: for SNL when I was twenty seven years old, so

173
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 3: that's twelve year period. And I had this whole thing

174
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 3: that I would do where I'd try to make one

175
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 3: improvement per week, you know, and those sort of things

176
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 3: snowball and add up and you become this exponentially better

177
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 3: player than you were, you know. I mean I would

178
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 3: work on vowel sounds. I would work on centery, you

179
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 3: know it, where's the voices at the head, mouthed, chest, stomach.

180
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 3: I would work on all of those sounds and practice them.

181
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 3: And by the time I was thirty nine, I walked in.

182
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 3: It was the perfect time because Phil Hartman had just

183
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 3: retired and he was the older SNL cast, right, and

184
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 3: he played clip and they need someone to play clip.

185
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 3: So based on that they saw me. Marcy Klein saw

186
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 3: me at Caroline's and brought me into Laura Michaels based

187
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 3: just because she saw me do Clinton at Carolines and

188
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 3: it was good enough to bring me in, And her

189
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 3: hope was that I had additional impression. I ended up

190
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 3: doing probably I don't know. I want to say twenty

191
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 3: and three auditions. Well, you know how.

192
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: Much of that for you to hear that you had

193
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: a you practiced for twelve years for an audition at

194
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: SNL sounds wild Like people that are familiar with you,

195
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: we look at you and say, obviously he was he

196
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: has this talent, but we don't understand the work that

197
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: put in that you put into it. How much do

198
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: you think you were just born with something and had

199
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 1: a natural ability or talent or how much of it

200
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: was you worked your ass off and practiced for years

201
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: to get in certain places.

202
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 3: I wouldn't dare compare myself to Steph Curry in any way,

203
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 3: but here it comes no, no, no, no, I didn't

204
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 3: mean that. But what I meant was his prep is stagnant.

205
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 3: Other players ain't doing that. That'sure. I mean, you just

206
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 3: gotta say. I mean, I don't know what the percentage is.

207
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 3: I had some ability. My mother could talk like other people.

208
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 3: She talked like the people in the neighborhood. She talked

209
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 3: like the coaches and did the teachers at school. And

210
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 3: I inherit some of that from her, you know, and

211
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 3: then later on, I mean I knew from a pretty

212
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 3: early age that's what I liked, do you know. I mean,

213
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 3: it's a weird, nerdy thing to do in the Deep South,

214
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 3: or the slightest wrinkle of individualism can get you branded.

215
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 3: You know.

216
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 2: That is so interesting because it's so changed now with

217
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 2: kids today. I think it's almost flipped, you know, you

218
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 2: almost strive to be an individual or to be something

219
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 2: different or to not fit in, like that's the cool

220
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 2: thing to do now. But yes, we all remember it

221
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 2: was quite the opposite coming up. We both went to

222
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 2: school down south as well, so we totally get what

223
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 2: you're saying. How do you take a talent like that?

224
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 2: You said you got addicted to it. It was the

225
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 2: reaction that you got from being great at it.

226
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 3: Well, listen, you know, if you're from the age of

227
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 3: like seven until the age of thirty nine, if you're

228
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 3: social ail at ease and you can pop out a

229
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 3: puorky big impression and now you're non ill at ease,

230
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 3: you've got to get hooked though. Yeah. You know, if

231
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 3: you know you can use that nothing thing else works,

232
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 3: you know you're gonna stick with it a little bit,

233
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 3: you know, And you know down there, I just was

234
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 3: a kid that just didn't fit in necessarily later on

235
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 3: when I played baseball as a teenager, but in the beginning,

236
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 3: when I was really young, for instance, when I tried

237
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 3: to play football, I remember the coach took me aside

238
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 3: one day and said, you know this, He said, there

239
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 3: seemed to be some kind of suitable war going on

240
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 3: and he and I said, what he said, They're seeing

241
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 3: to be some kind of suitable war going on. And

242
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 3: I was like, what was that mean, coach? And he

243
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 3: looks at me and says something about you just getting right.

244
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: That's what they used to say to us in the

245
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 1: sound of the kid was a little different. You just

246
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: ain't right. Oh he just a little crazy. So I'm

247
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: wrong with him. And that was it. We're not going

248
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: to a doctor, We're not getting diagnosed. Somebody right with him?

249
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's he's touched. He's touched, he's touched.

250
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 3: My father used to say, my name's Max Hammon, was

251
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 3: myself Caroyland. He's extra.

252
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 2: Just warning everyone you get came with the warning label

253
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 2: was porky pig. Your first solid impression, would you say?

254
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 3: I think the first one was Popeye scat singing. You

255
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 3: can imagine being a child with nothing to do but

256
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 3: pretend everything that's going on around you is not going

257
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 3: on around you. And my one way of doing that

258
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 3: was the way he would scats sing on the way

259
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 3: to olive oil. You know. That was I was seven

260
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 3: eight years old, doing a vowel consonant substitute. You know,

261
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 3: I'm writing all that down. I wrote every single one

262
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 3: of those silks, you know. Yeah, So that was the

263
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 3: first one, and then porcupaid was the next one. Of

264
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 3: the vowel consonant substitutions AB, you know, we'll be, we'll be,

265
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 3: you know. And then it became doing the coach at school,

266
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 3: doing some I never really did celebrities back then, but

267
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 3: I would do the coach and the teachers and stuff

268
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 3: like that. It's easy to get addicted.

269
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: Do you remember your first celebrity one that you kind

270
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: of nailed and that you got comfortable with and really

271
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: good at.

272
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 4: Oh boy, no, I I don't. I never really thought

273
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 4: they were. I didn't really think they were.

274
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 3: That good, you know. And maybe that's because I knew

275
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 3: all the nuts and bolts behind it and everything that

276
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 3: I had to go through to get it. You know.

277
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 3: I did Jesse Jackson at the Apollo Theater, only white

278
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 3: person in the theater, and they had said that was

279
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 3: such a horrible crowd. If they don't like you, they'll

280
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 3: turn on you, and they really will, let you know.

281
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 3: And I went out there and I said to myself,

282
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 3: I have studied him for five years. I know him.

283
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 3: I don't insult him, and I know him and that's

284
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 3: my and that's what I'm taking out. And they can see,

285
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 3: oh wait, he's not around. This is a serious kid

286
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 3: like And also because you know, the thing is really

287
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 3: very complimentary. I talked about how powerful he was personally,

288
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 3: does he ever have actual conversation? So I just did

289
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 3: Jesse Jackson having casual conversation, and that resonates with everyone

290
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 3: because it compliments the person before, before the fact, you know,

291
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 3: which is one reason h there there. There came a

292
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 3: time in history when that approach to giving politicians the

293
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 3: benefit of the doubt like that, you know, just didn't

294
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 3: work anymore. It just didn't play well anymore. You know.

295
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 3: I got my style from Richard Pryor. Richard Pryor would

296
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 3: compliment a person beforehand, insaulted it. It's I mean, look,

297
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 3: he's a genius, and I knew I'd never be as

298
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 3: good as Richard Pryor, but boy, I want ahead in

299
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 3: that direction, you see what I mean. That's where I'm

300
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 3: trying to I'm trying to get there, you.

301
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 2: Know, And yeah, it does because think about it, like

302
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 2: you were friendly with Bill Clinton. You we're friendly, well,

303
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 2: at least Dick Cheney wanted to hear you do, Dick Cheney.

304
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 2: So regardless of where you fell politically, they appreciated what

305
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 2: you did and how you portrayed them, even if it

306
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 2: was for comedic relief, and that speaks volumes to exactly

307
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 2: what you just pointed to.

308
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: But is that right there? You're you can make you

309
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: can make the audience laugh, but you're not making fun

310
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: of the person you're impersonating. Is that you're doing an impersonation,

311
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 1: but you're not necessarily trying to take a dig at

312
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: all of these folks.

313
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 3: Well, I'm trying to do. I'm trying to get both

314
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 3: sides of the aisle to laugh. So what's the angle?

315
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 3: You know, you don't want to get too deeply personal,

316
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 3: you know with Shaney, and we don't want to go

317
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 3: in certain areas where people are going to take sides.

318
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 3: So I just came up with a wise, cracking, tough guy,

319
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 3: you know, and with Clinton charming row they were willing

320
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 3: to admit to that. Everyone, Yeah, we can play. We

321
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 3: can work with that. Both sides of the outcome work

322
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 3: with that. And you know with Trump, you know, the

323
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 3: the just bullhorned salesman touting his own his own narrative

324
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 3: and selling it like it ain't never been sold. But

325
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 3: you know, because you know people want to make fun

326
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 3: of him all that, but you the guy can.

327
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: Sell, oh god.

328
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 3: No question. But he's thinking about thinking about I remember,

329
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 3: you know, years ago, when I was still doing Trump

330
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 3: on S and L, I went to Politicoon and Pasadena,

331
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 3: and you know, I said to some people out there,

332
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 3: I mean, there were the biggest journalists in the world

333
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 3: out there, and I remember saying to that, you know,

334
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 3: you should you shouldn't think that because you can get

335
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 3: a laugh about Trump's hair every time you go to

336
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 3: a cocktail park, that this is a guy to not

337
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 3: take serious. I mean, I said, in his office, and

338
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 3: trust me, that dude can look through I mean, he

339
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 3: can look right in there and see what's going on. Otherwise,

340
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 3: you know, how would he know how to take out

341
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 3: nineteen seas Republican candidates by finding it, by branding each

342
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 3: one of them in a way that just got them

343
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 3: a little off balance. Little Marco Rubio, low energy cheb,

344
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 3: those things, they were just a little off their game

345
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 3: when he would just swoop in and sell that giant

346
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 3: version of his narrative and sell it and then it's

347
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 3: open injure them, cripple them. They're not getting out their

348
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 3: best message. You put out your best message to the debates.

349
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 3: That's the way I stuck. Does that make sense?

350
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 2: Yes, it totally does. What did Trump ever tell you

351
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 2: what he thought of your impersonation of him?

352
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 3: He's tweeted about me twice while while president. All right,

353
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 3: so he seems he likes it. Okay, but I mean

354
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 3: with me, he seems to like it. But again I'm

355
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 3: giving him the benefit of the doubt. You know, I'm

356
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 3: saying up front. You know, he's figured out that it's

357
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 3: more important to make people feel than to make them think.

358
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 3: You don't want them thinking too much. Man, They can

359
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 3: feel feel something, and what matter? What is this making sense?

360
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: It makes We're laughing because it all makes perfect sense

361
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: to us because we I think to your point early on,

362
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: you talking about Trump and we're not trying to get

363
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: into a political discussion, but you are. You make such

364
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: a good point about how we view our politicians, meaning

365
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: we didn't take a lot of people didn't take him

366
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: seriously the first time around. It was joke, joke, joke,

367
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 1: and this is not serious. And next thing you know, oh,

368
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: he's president. So do you find over the past? I

369
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: guess since twenty sixteen it would have been how have

370
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: you seen us or have we changed changed how we

371
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: view a Donald Trump? Or do you see us just

372
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: doing the same thing as always, And he's doing the

373
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: same thing as always, which is able to counter that,

374
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: and it might propel him back to the White House.

375
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 3: But he isn't doing the same thing as always. He

376
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 3: has very I don't know, in a bizarre way. He

377
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:24,719
Speaker 3: has hopscotched his way through the corridors of power and

378
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,479
Speaker 3: up the wrongs of the ladder of political success to

379
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 3: the point where there's dopey God. Has the Supreme Court

380
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 3: doing his bidding?

381
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's it's.

382
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 3: Giving him immunity already, they're doing Supreme courts doing that

383
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 3: stuff him again. Take him seriously, man, I mean, he's

384
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 3: on he's he's telling you what he's gonna do, and we.

385
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: For some reason, some people don't want to listen.

386
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:58,959
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't want to be boring about this,

387
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 3: but I mean he's a fascinating dude.

388
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure you like the rest of us. I mean, well,

389
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,959
Speaker 2: I should ask you, with as much as you've had

390
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 2: to study these politicians when you are doing impersonations of them,

391
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 2: did you watch the last debate? And I noticed that

392
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 2: you've got a show right on the same date, September

393
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 2: tenth in la As the next debate between Kamala Harris

394
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 2: and Donald Trump. I believe you go on at seven

395
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 2: thirty Pacific time, right when the debate ends.

396
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: Do you still watch these debates?

397
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 3: Do you still.

398
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 1: Observe it?

399
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,959
Speaker 3: Study? I'm going to watch this one. And yeah, I watched.

400
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 3: I watched the Trump Byen debate. But he did the

401
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 3: same thing in that bit. He realized because he is

402
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 3: a canny, wary, streaked mentality. God, he understood that. All

403
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 3: he had to do was I don't know what you're doing.

404
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 3: I don't know what you're talking and I don't think

405
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 3: you know what you're talking about. That's all I had

406
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 3: to saidee and Biden came undone. He didn't want to

407
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 3: be seen as piling on and and and he didn't

408
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 3: want to be seeing his elder abuse and pilot on

409
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 3: the old guy because the man was a pair. And

410
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 3: now he was suspended. Yeah, by that one line. So

411
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 3: he's done this every time he's ever done a debate.

412
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 3: I mean remember when he did told her old company's

413
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 3: gonna put her.

414
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 2: In jail yep, and then became the mantra.

415
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he understood that in her entire lifetime,

416
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 3: no one has ever walked up to her and spoke

417
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 3: to her like that and just got her a little

418
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 3: off her game, and then he settled it. I hope

419
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 3: this is this is all nerd talk, so I hope

420
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 3: it's not too boring.

421
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 2: Oh no, I'm actually I was interested to see if

422
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 2: you're gonna, like, I'm imagining you backstage prepping for your

423
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 2: show and watching the debate and then will you Are

424
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 2: you somebody who can watch the debate between those two

425
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 2: and then bring it into the the live audience just

426
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 2: moments later?

427
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: Are you?

428
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 2: Is that even a plan or a thought?

429
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that that happens sometimes, but you know,

430
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 3: but what we can be sure of is that during

431
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 3: the evening is that there will be Trumps speak well,

432
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 3: he would fail or interpretation class in college. He'll be talking.

433
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 3: He'll be doing stuff that other people don't do, and

434
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 3: talking about stuff that other people don't talk about right

435
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 3: in the middle of it, you know, because most politicians

436
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 3: are like, uh, well those who yeah, I'm in the

437
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 3: Madisonian right right right, yeah, And Trump's like dougs. A

438
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 3: lot of people like dogs like dogs. Cats are not nice.

439
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 3: Cats are not nice.

440
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: And the next thing, you know, I'm feeling like, wow,

441
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about Yes, I'm thinking about the cats and

442
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 1: dogs because they make me feel something emotionally.

443
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 3: And there you go, he's figured it out. And people

444
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 3: don't want to admit that he figured out something brilliant.

445
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 3: But honestly, if you look back in history, Clinton knew it,

446
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 3: Reagan knew it, Winston Churchill knew it. Right, they knew

447
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 3: this stuff. All Reagan had to say was mister garbighow up,

448
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 3: tear down that tear boom boom. He made us all

449
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 3: feel something. He made us feel like we're under threat

450
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 3: about the whoop ass and he put that wholesome, that

451
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 3: wholesome you know that that wholesome Nancy and I and

452
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 3: that that it was. It was brilliant.

453
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 1: You know, there were two things that we have that

454
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: how many do you have? How many impressions do you

455
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: have that you could just I'm okay, I know you'd

456
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 1: want to maybe go prepare if you have a little

457
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: time whatever, but just on the spot, how many impressions

458
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: do you have at the ready?

459
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 3: If you gave me material, you know, I might be

460
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 3: able to work something out. I mean, sometimes we do

461
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 3: this show at the improv. We take requests from the audience,

462
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 3: and people try this's me and Jay Moore, and people

463
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:27,359

Speaker 2: someone who who actually is a brilliant savant on sounding

479

Speaker 3: We all, I'm a little weird, but I'm a little

482
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 3: wonder That's what I used to think about when I

483
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 3: lived at the French Court of New Orleans, Like it's

484
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 3: weird and wonderful.

485
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: That's about right for the French Court in New Orleans

486
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: is weird and wonderful.

00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's wonderful in it. That's weird, man, weirdo.

488
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 3: You're gonna see some crazy stuff.

489
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: Do people still come up to you on the street

490
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: or whatever it may be and just say, hey, do

491
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: Clinton or do Connery? Or do they just come up

492
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: and do that? And how do you react when people

493
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: say that? Is that annoying at all? Or you welcome it?

494
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 3: I always say you do it. Chances are really good

495
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 3: they have an impression that they just want to they

496
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 3: just want to do it for oh it makes sense.

497

Speaker 3: someone will come up to me and go, I'm not proposal.

499
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 3: You know, you don't have to think about it.

500
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: Just no, who is your darl?

501
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 3: I hate?

502
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: And again, you're not insulting anybody by this, I would say,

503
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: but I don't want anybody take it that way. But

504
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: what is your mount rushmore? For SNL, Like what's the

505
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: cast at SNL, that would be the Mount Rushmore. Again,

506
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: you're not by leaving somebody off of it, You're not

507
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 1: an insult anybody else there. But just who are the

508
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: all time just can't be touched greats in your mind

509
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: that have been a part of that SNL cast.

510
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, ask yourself if it's possible to

511
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 3: even answer that question right for Mount Rushmore before people,

512
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 3: I mean the people I saw over there were freaky

513
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 3: man like you think it's someone like Kate McKennon or

514
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 3: Maya Rudolph. Let's say, Maya can do impressions, great impressions.

515
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 3: She can act, she's a great actress. She can sing,

516
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:52,239
Speaker 3: she's a great singer. And she can dance. I mean

517
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 3: she can really dance. When you look at that sort

518
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 3: of because I'm Broadway, there's all go about triple threats,

519
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 3: this is she's the Quinn tuple quintuple threat, you know,

520
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 3: and you see that in there. It's it's it would

521
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 3: be hard as hell to write down what you're even

522
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 3: looking at. Sometimes. You know, there are times when I

523
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 3: would be out there with Molly Shannon when she would

524
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 3: get hot. You know, there was the scene we did

525
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 3: where she played the fifty year old stripper, and I

526
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 3: was Sony soprano. We were at a lot of ban

527
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 3: and and how once she got her mark, she got

528
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 3: remarks where she was gonna be and what the camera's

529
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 3: urn managed to be funny during dress. But once she

530
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 3: had all that down, she could really let it all

531
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 3: out of the gate. And sometimes you sit in there watching.

532
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 2: Damn, damn.

533
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 3: You know when they did that sketch cow bell. I

534
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 3: remember I was standing watching, you know the SNL that

535
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 3: makes a peculiar sound when everyone laughs at the same time.

536
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 3: You know it's two hundred and seventy five, three hundred seats,

537
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 3: it sounds like three hundreds break. I remember watching that sometimes,

538
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 3: like with Molly Shannon, just looking up there seeing the

539
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 3: Heads movie. I mean, that's magic. To me, it sounds

540
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 3: like magic.

541
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, I mean SNL has always been such a

542
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 2: big part of even my family, like we would just

543
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 2: watch it from this I remember Land Shark with Chevy

544
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 2: Chase and all of that. But and I've been able

545
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 2: to actually go and watch a dress rehearsal or two,

546
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 2: and it is magic and the level of talent is

547
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 2: mind blowing. But I have to admit one of my

548
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 2: favorite things to watch is when you all break character,

549
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 2: when you all are laughing so hard, either at each

550
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 2: other or at yourselves, that you can't help but join

551
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 2: in on it.

552
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: Did that ever happen to you? I don't remember you

553
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: doing it that often, But did that ever happen to you?

554
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 3: Yeah? Amy Koehler with could make me laugh if I

555
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 3: was sitting next door, if she really wanted to bear down,

556
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 3: you know, when we did Regis and Kelly, you know,

557
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 3: and she's sitting right there next to me. She's gonna

558
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 3: do something on air that she didn't do in terest

559
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 3: and it's gonna be brilliant. It's gonna take me by surprise,

560
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 3: and I would laugh. It happened a few times. And

561
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 3: that's the kind of thing where I mean, I never

562
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 3: got any flag or anything like that. They say that

563
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 3: Lauren didn't like you never said anything about them, because

564
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 3: I mean, the audience loved seeing Amy. I'm proud man, right.

565
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 3: They love seeing it, love seeing her do that.

566
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: Those moments are cool every once in a while to

567
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: see that you all are cracking each other up. But

568
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 1: it's good to hear that. You know, they don't get

569
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: flag for it. It happens every once in a while.

570
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:43,959
Speaker 1: It's not that bad. We were talking we started here

571
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: talking about we were talking about mental health, and I

572
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: think a lot of I mean, you could tell is

573
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: better than anybody else. But so many folks, entertainers in

574
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: particular comedians have a story, have a backstory, have a story.

575
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 1: Something comes from pain, a mental health health experience or

576
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 1: mental mental illness, mental health difficulty. Do you do comedians

577
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: end up being comedians because of some trauma or because

578
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: of something which comes first? Is this got like the

579
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,320
Speaker 1: chicken or the egg thing? Do you become these brilliant

580
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,879
Speaker 1: comedians because of what you Oh, go ahead, go ahead.

581
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 3: Well, if that were true, every trauma patient would be.

582
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 1: I didn't want to go that far. But what I'm

583
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 1: saying are the comedians often time? I guess, I guess.

584
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: Neil Brennan, are you probably familiar with it? We listened

585
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: to his stand up not too long ago. He went

586
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 1: through this whole list like this is why, like the

587
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 1: does the comedy create in some way the trauma or

588
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 1: the the the issues that so many the mental health

589
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 1: issues that so many comedians talk about them having.

590
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 5: It is?

591
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 3: What is it is?

592
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 1: Because you're you went through something early on and then

593
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: you go into comedy or the comedy. Now you want

594
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 1: to be a comedian and to do that and to

595
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: be great, you suffer in other ways. You get what

596
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like, which which is you know, in.

597
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 3: Order for something good to have something bad as to happen,

598
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 3: that sort of thing. I don't. I don't have the answer.

599
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 3: I wish I did. It's all. It's all when you

600
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 3: really think about making a group of people you've never

601
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 3: met before, You've never met them, but in just a

602
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,919
Speaker 3: few seconds you're going to make them laugh as hard

603
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:38,439
Speaker 3: as they can. And if you think that not a rush,

604
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 3: then you're not like me. I feel like that's a rush.

605
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 3: And I don't know. I will be doing the improv

606
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 3: of the night of the debated Sexual Lessenal reunion show

00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 3: bar man. I'll go up there and see if anything happened.

609
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know. That's a you know what,

610
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,320
Speaker 3: I think, you're in the land of I don't know.

00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 3: a cabinet there. For some reason, I was sitting in

618
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 3: the hallway because I knew that if I if I

619
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:31,040

Speaker 3: Saturday night, left just sat there, that lots of riders

622
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:43,320
Speaker 3: got to walk by, and they and that might trigger

623
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 3: a thought, M like I wonder if he can do

624
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:48,280

00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 2: right hallway at the right time, just.

632
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 3: Waiting for folks to come by. Hey everyone, how's that?

633
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 3: How's that lobster sketch coming good?

00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: That lobster sketch?

635
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 3: Dear.

636
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 2: I know people often say when we ask musicians, like

637
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 2: what's your favorite song? O White, It's like choosing your

638
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 2: favorite child, YadA, YadA, YadA. But did you have an

639
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 2: impression that you enjoyed more than the others.

640
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 3: No, I don't. I don't really think so. I don't know.

641
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 3: I think it varies from time to time. But you know,

642
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 3: by the end, we did Clinton like so many different ways.

643
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,800
Speaker 3: He was almost like we could do drawing, comedy, we

644
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 3: could do slapstick, we could do oscar while, we could

645
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 3: do Shakespeare, we could do you know, a road house,

646
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:59,720
Speaker 3: how old repute. I mean, he was such a multi

647
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 3: fan to the human being and be able to play

648
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 3: him that many times. You know, you got to say

649
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 3: that was the one that did you know where I

650
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 3: felt pretty good when I was out there most of

651
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 3: the time. I think the thing that I wanted to

652
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 3: say that is that the play is that pray is

653
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 3: about mental health. Uh, mental illness is not an airborne virus.

654
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 3: That's what I want to impart. That's my That's all

655
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 3: I got, and that's what this doctor k and the

656
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 3: play sets. You know, minel Els is not an airborne buvirus.

657
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 3: Virus as a story, and it has a beginning for

658
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 3: me that worked. I ain't saying that works for it.

659
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 3: I'm just telling my story, you know what I'm saying.

660
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 3: I don't want to be out there acting like I'm

661
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 3: a doctor. So I'm just telling my story and what

662
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 3: worked in my world.

663
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 2: And it came after a lot of discovery and a

664
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 2: lot of doctors, and a lot of false diagnoses and

665
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 2: a lot of drugs, and and I think.

666
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 3: Listen, listen, he can't. He practically brought my my psychicad

667
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 3: filing on the front low. Yeah. I mean there were

668
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 3: boxes and boxes and boxes, and he had a synopsis

669
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 3: in front of him, you know, and he's he's saying,

670
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 3: let me see your schizophrenic. You are psychotic, you are

671
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 3: borderline personality you you know, polar you, bipolar you, we

672
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 3: roll over the pope. Let's face it, use on a knut.

673
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:44,359
Speaker 1: And how much was he getting an hour per hour

674
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 1: for that?

675
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 3: Well, the guy had a way of disarming me. I

676
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,280
Speaker 3: don't know he got he's got that ability.

677
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 2: And so I was like, yeah, probably, Yeah, Well I

678
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 2: think it's it's a very digestible way to talk about

679
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 2: something really really hard that so many people deal with

680
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 2: and don't know how to deal with it as a whole.

681
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 2: So to give people at least the idea or the

682
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 2: option to think about it in a holistic way where

683
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 2: you're saying it comes from a source, and discovering that

684
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,399
Speaker 2: source is going to help you, you know, figure out

685
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 2: how to treat yourself and acknowledge the pain and then

686
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 2: hopefully one day live with it and then and then

687
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 2: makes with it. And that's Listen.

688
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 3: Even if you're if a person says I have a

689
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 3: chemical imbalance, are what Even if if it's a beta

690
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 3: blocker that's needed. I mean, even if it's just that

691
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 3: it's there's always an ant se mhm. It comes from somewhere.

692
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 3: Find out where it comes from.

693
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 2: You know.

694
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 3: There used to be a behavior's named John Bradshaw who

695
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 3: used to say, if you can name it, you can

696
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 3: tame you know, believe me, it's a lot harder than that.

697
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 2: Yes, but to do it, you know, laughter is the

698
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 2: best medicine, they say, So to do it with humor,

699
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 2: but to impart actual wisdom to the audience is a

700
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,800
Speaker 2: beautiful thing to do. And so we applaud you and

701
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 2: thank you for doing that and finding a way to mirror.

702

703
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:19,800
