Speaker 1: Really now really.
Speaker 2: Really now really hello and welcome to Really Know Really
Speaker 2: with Jason Alexander and Peter Tilden. In this episode, you'll
Speaker 2: discover how one of our hosts was originally cast in
Speaker 2: Rob Reiner's Oscar nominated film A Few Good Men alongside
Speaker 2: Jack Nicholson and Tom Cruise, and then eventually became uncast.
Speaker 1: You learn about the relationship.
Speaker 3: Between misery and comedy, and you'll get a tutorial on
Speaker 3: how to impersonate Christopher Walking from a man who actually
Speaker 3: got that part in a Few Good Men but is
Speaker 3: also a comedian, impressionist, author, and director. Wow, this guy
Speaker 3: sounds great. He should do a podcast. Oh wait, he
Speaker 3: is also a celebrated podcast host. Yes, Kevin Pollock has
Speaker 3: truly done it all, But for now, here are two
Speaker 3: guys who've lived up to a mere fraction of their potential.
Speaker 1: Jason Alexander and Peter Tilden. Now really all right, Well
Speaker 1: you ready? I think we're gonna have fun. I think
Speaker 1: this is what I have to do to get ready.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, on the shirt, this is this really no really,
Speaker 4: my friends? Is well what we're about to use as
Speaker 4: a really no really to me is no big deal.
Speaker 1: But to you I left. You were gobsmacked.
Speaker 5: So you Kevin Pollack, I think before you love cover
Speaker 5: and he's a great guest.
Speaker 1: And but we only do really no, really, we don't
Speaker 1: just have people. We don't just have people.
Speaker 5: Are because one day you just said to me in passing,
Speaker 5: you know, I was supposed to get through all in
Speaker 5: a few good men.
Speaker 4: And I look at you and I go, and you went,
Speaker 4: what happened? I went, I couldn't do it. So Kevin
Speaker 4: Pollack did it? And I were like, how the hell
Speaker 4: worlds are colliding?
Speaker 1: How does that happen? That Kevin Pollack would replace you?
Speaker 1: Like like it was.
Speaker 5: It wasn't how it could replace you, it was how
Speaker 5: are you casting?
Speaker 1: Really?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 5: Really, because I can imagine you in the courtroom seen
Speaker 5: there but Cruz and Nicholson and all that. Not because her,
Speaker 5: because I'm I'm such a lot I have.
Speaker 1: I don't have the dramatize Kevin Pollack.
Speaker 5: Yes, no, the last three Yes, no, because just like
Speaker 5: I couldn't imagine Kevin as George Costanzo, there are once
Speaker 5: it's ingrained in your head.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's there. Kevin did such an amazing job.
Speaker 4: Anyway, That's what flabbergast did Peter, and so it was
Speaker 4: a good excuse to have my now very old and
Speaker 4: dear friend Kevin Pollack. You know him as an actor, comedian, impressionist.
Speaker 1: Uh. You know him from films like Oh Few Good Men,
Speaker 1: Grumpy Old Men at the Sequel, Grumpier Old Men, Casino,
Speaker 1: End of Days, or as Usual Suspects. He was a
Speaker 1: god on The Marvelous Missus Masel.
Speaker 4: He is one of the progenitors of the podcast.
Speaker 1: He had a podcast, you know, chat show. The one
Speaker 1: that made me laugh is and doing the research.
Speaker 5: You actually created a show called Talking Walking where you
Speaker 5: just did the whole podcast as Christopher Walker.
Speaker 1: Correct? Is that correct? What people do? Christopher Walker? What's
Speaker 1: the premise?
Speaker 6: No? No, I would have someone on as a guest
Speaker 6: and we would talk about the minutia of life for
Speaker 6: forty five minutes or so, and I spoke only as
Speaker 6: Christopher Walk. But we never we never referenced me or
Speaker 6: Christopher Walker at any point during the conversation.
Speaker 5: To me, it's so wonderful that you went for the
Speaker 5: It's like going for the joke and then sticking.
Speaker 1: With the joke.
Speaker 6: It's called committing.
Speaker 5: It's called committing and I got to tell you in
Speaker 5: starting this episode.
Speaker 6: You gotta tell me.
Speaker 5: I gotta tell you this because it's really important. There's
Speaker 5: a lot that we're going to talk about. But it's
Speaker 5: usually interesting for me that something bubbles to the surface
Speaker 5: that is important. And you had set a line in
Speaker 5: some interview you gave that said, if if you're not creating,
Speaker 5: you're waiting.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and that is a mantra.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that hit me really big.
Speaker 6: Well, I appreciate that very very much because it means
Speaker 6: a lot to me. So the fact that it would
Speaker 6: mean anything to anyone is always a pleasure to hear.
Speaker 6: It started around the same time as that first podcast,
Speaker 6: Kevin Pollock's Chat Show in two thousand and nine. It
Speaker 6: was sort of the chat show was sort of born
Speaker 6: of that because as actors or comedians or any quote
Speaker 6: unquote piece of talent, we're taught to wait for the
Speaker 6: phone to ring. And so instead of waiting for the
Speaker 6: phone to ring, the idea was, you're limited by your
Speaker 6: imagination only, so create whatever you want to do. And
Speaker 6: so many people have done it over many, many decades.
Speaker 6: So yeah, so if you're not creating, your waiting and
Speaker 6: what do you waiting?
Speaker 4: But you know, it's but the fact that you created keV.
Speaker 4: What I what I admire about the chat show was
Speaker 4: you were taking your episode well, yes that was a standout,
Speaker 4: but you you created in an area that wasn't really
Speaker 4: yet a thing. So the fact that you have created
Speaker 4: in areas that were not yet ripe for the picking
Speaker 4: were you I don't quite know what the rewards are
Speaker 4: going to be.
Speaker 1: Yeah? Are you drawn to that?
Speaker 4: Are you intrigued by these other things, these other areas.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's probably why I wrote a book, directed a
Speaker 6: couple of movies, because I wanted to keep diversifying and
Speaker 6: expanding my opportunities by creating them, you know, I mean,
Speaker 6: and yes, I did absolutely wait for the phone to
Speaker 6: ring for many years. Yeah, between being a stand up comedian,
Speaker 6: rising to the local scene in San Francisco where I'm from,
Speaker 6: moving to LA and then getting my first job in LA,
Speaker 6: there was at least at least two hundred auditions where
Speaker 6: at one point it wasn't they started to feel like,
Speaker 6: how about anyone but you was going to get right?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 6: So yeah, and in fact it was a few good men.
Speaker 6: That's what was the goal line of going from auditioning
Speaker 6: to getting offered, Yeah, and to be clear to the
Speaker 6: earlier up as we discussed on the chat show many
Speaker 6: years ago, and has you know made the circuit. But
Speaker 6: I'm glad Peter hadn't heard it before because it allowed
Speaker 6: me to come on your program here.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: So I was doing a summer series created by Rob
Speaker 6: Ryner Christopher Guest for CBS that nine people ultimately ended
Speaker 6: up watching, called Morton and Hayes. And I would have
Speaker 6: lunch every day with Rob Reiner, and he at one
Speaker 6: day at lunch pointed his sizable finger in my face
Speaker 6: and said, this next film I'm doing was a big
Speaker 6: Broadway success. I got Tom Cruise. I think we're going
Speaker 6: to get Jack Nicholson. And there's this part of Tom's
Speaker 6: co council that you're you're perfect for. I've got an
Speaker 6: offer out to Jason Alexander, but if Seinfeld gets picked
Speaker 6: up for a second season, he won't be available. And
Speaker 6: I'm just not realizing you you could do this, and
Speaker 6: you know a couple things. A. I went home, of course,
Speaker 6: and prayed for Jason's success more than intensely than I
Speaker 6: had prayed for anything ever. But also just the people
Speaker 6: talk about good luck, right. So the fact that I
Speaker 6: was having lunch on a daily basis of Rob while
Speaker 6: he was casting that movie is just completely utterly luck
Speaker 6: of the drug.
Speaker 1: Yeah, hell, you know, it's so funny.
Speaker 4: I mean, I know you for so long and we're pals,
Speaker 4: and there's so many things I don't know about you,
Speaker 4: and I don't want to drag you over old territory,
Speaker 4: but just I'm gonna ask. I heard you tell the
Speaker 4: story that when you were a kid, you'd come out
Speaker 4: of the movies and you would be doing, you know,
Speaker 4: a piece of the movie. You'd be imitating something for me.
Speaker 4: But I was a fan of theater and film and
Speaker 4: whatnot when I was a kid, But it took me
Speaker 4: until I was a teenager before I ever thought about
Speaker 4: being a part of it. And it happened by accident
Speaker 4: because we moved from one town to another and the
Speaker 4: theater kids picked me up and I wound up on stage.
Speaker 1: How did you actually decide this is what I'm gonna do?
Speaker 1: And was the family behind you?
Speaker 4: And I mean you went from being a cute, funny
Speaker 4: kid who imitated the movies that he saw to going
Speaker 4: I'm gonna do this.
Speaker 1: What was that journey?
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, my mom told me that as early as
Speaker 6: age four or five, when she took me to the movies,
Speaker 6: when we exited the theater most of the time at
Speaker 6: conclusion of the film, sometimes a little early. We didn't
Speaker 6: have patience for bad as a team that I would
Speaker 6: not necessarily be impersonating, but I almost in a zeleig way,
Speaker 6: had become someone in the film. So a little four
Speaker 6: and a half five year old pisser was Marlon Brando
Speaker 6: for no reason, and she just marveled at it and
Speaker 6: didn't really make anything of it. But secretly I was
Speaker 6: thinking as early as that age, how do you get
Speaker 6: to do that? And then I got sidetracted with stand
Speaker 6: up quite honestly, because I was also collecting stand up
Speaker 6: comedians on television the way my friends collected baseball cards,
Speaker 6: and you know, I was allowed to stay up and
Speaker 6: watch Carson Or but the comedians absolutely captivated me. And
Speaker 6: then my parents would bring home comedy albums and I
Speaker 6: would watch them laugh uncontrollably to the point of discomfort.
Speaker 6: On my party, it was as if they were crying uncontrollable.
Speaker 6: That's how awkward and out of character was to see
Speaker 6: them laugh. And then that certainly laid the groundwork for
Speaker 6: I'm going to learn how to do this?
Speaker 1: So was it acting that called to you first? And
Speaker 1: comedy just happened to be the road in? But your
Speaker 1: your eye was stand.
Speaker 6: Up hijacked it, really stand up high hijacked it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I.
Speaker 6: And then they sort of lived together when I started
Speaker 6: maybe doing a couple of plays in school high school.
Speaker 6: But yeah, that I was horrible in class in school.
Speaker 6: So the idea of when others would say you should
Speaker 6: go to an acting school, it sounded horrible to me.
Speaker 6: If someone had maybe surrounded me as your friends did
Speaker 6: from the theater world and so join us, that would
Speaker 6: have changed the course of things. But it didn't.
Speaker 4: So you've never formally studied right acting, No.
Speaker 6: No, just just at the feet of the greats.
Speaker 1: In front of the observation experience.
Speaker 5: And so how do you find yourself into impersonation if
Speaker 5: all the comedy things to do, that's like, not only
Speaker 5: you have to be funny and figure out jokes, but
Speaker 5: I also have to kind of commit to being this
Speaker 5: person and be accurate enough and close enough that the
Speaker 5: audience gets it without being the comedians.
Speaker 1: The old guys we used to always come out.
Speaker 5: And say, oh look, it's Jimmy Stewart. It's like announcing
Speaker 5: who they are. How did that's a weird thing to
Speaker 5: glom onto and say, I think I can do that.
Speaker 6: Well, Jason will tell you that it's just a you
Speaker 6: have a freak gear for it and a desire to
Speaker 6: pursue it, or you don't. Every child learns to speak
Speaker 6: from mimicking the parents or sounds around them, right, and
Speaker 6: some of us that that mimicking just doesn't go away,
Speaker 6: doesn't stop. So yeah, I would make my friends laugh
Speaker 6: in junior high into high school by impersonating whoever was
Speaker 6: interesting on the scene in TV or movies, and based
Speaker 6: on their laughter, I started to think, Oh, I guess
Speaker 6: I can do this, you know. I eventually would almost
Speaker 6: Penn and Teller break down the illusion in my standardback
Speaker 6: about doing impersonations and how it's a parlor trick. If
Speaker 6: I can think of someone you like and I can
Speaker 6: recreate them in front of you, I will basically steal
Speaker 6: the affection you have for the actual person. If I
Speaker 6: thought you liked Peter Falk as much as I did,
Speaker 6: and I said, oh geez, I'm sorry. I don't mean
Speaker 6: to be a pitched Can I ask you one question,
Speaker 6: why did you get those shoes? My wife, she's crazy
Speaker 6: about shoes. Her name is Amelda. So the feel there
Speaker 6: is I promise you, if you didn't know who Peter
Speaker 6: Falk was, or you didn't love Peter Falk, what I
Speaker 6: just did would would be maybe funny in a cartoony
Speaker 6: kind of way, but it wouldn't have any So once
Speaker 6: I tapped into that, it never made sense to me
Speaker 6: to say, you know what, if Jimmy Stewart were a
Speaker 6: busboy at might go something like this.
Speaker 1: He was more.
Speaker 2: He was.
Speaker 6: Even though my dear friend who I started out with, well,
Speaker 6: I was about to say I started out in San
Speaker 6: Francisco's stand up with Dana Carvey in the late seventies,
Speaker 6: and he actually did the funniest bit ever, which was
Speaker 6: Jimmy Stewart as a waiter. I don't know if you
Speaker 6: ever did it in any of his specialist but yeah,
Speaker 6: he just a very impatient waiter as Jimmy Stewart. I
Speaker 6: don't want to bastardize it, but it was something like that.
Speaker 6: I just I told you the Specials twenty minutes ago.
Speaker 6: What do you mean You're not right?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I mean I'm not going to make this all about
Speaker 4: the impressions. But do you do you have a methodology
Speaker 4: for getting one of those things or do you just
Speaker 4: you either have it or you hear it enough and
Speaker 4: you've got it.
Speaker 6: Or they're in my wheelhouse?
Speaker 1: Are they are?
Speaker 6: They're not there, you know. Dana and I would always say,
Speaker 6: we got our Johnny Carson from Rich Little, we got
Speaker 6: our Kirk Douglas from Frank Gorshen. You know, there's someone
Speaker 6: had to break the code, or you break the code yourself,
Speaker 6: the way Dana was forced to. Once he was on
Speaker 6: SNL one week. We were talking on the phone on
Speaker 6: a Tuesday and I said, who they got you doing
Speaker 6: this week? And he said, it looks like they're gonna
Speaker 6: want me to do Ross Perot And at that point
Speaker 6: Ross had just appeared on Larry King I think, just once,
Speaker 6: and we both sort of started playing on the phone
Speaker 6: call with the idea of what is a Ross Pro impression,
Speaker 6: And by the end of it, we both had a
Speaker 6: Ross Pro impression, just pat and I said him, well,
Speaker 6: wait a second, this sucks because come Saturday, you're gonna
Speaker 6: become famous for doing Ross and I just nailed Ross
Speaker 6: Pro and no one will ever care so his data's
Speaker 6: bit on Ross with his little catch thing or the
Speaker 6: key that opens the lock was can I finish Larry?
Speaker 6: Larry canna finish can Ah Finnick? Because Larry can't be
Speaker 6: interrupting it? And my thing was Ross pro had an
Speaker 6: analogy for everything, and never did they make sense. The economy,
Speaker 6: you see, it's like peanut butter. If you feed it
Speaker 6: to a horse and he chews on it, it'll look
Speaker 6: like he's talking. So so yeah, there's no I guess
Speaker 6: sometimes if you put your mind to it and they're
Speaker 6: in your wheelhouse, you can learn them. There's been many
Speaker 6: that I could never learn.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 4: I you know, I never ever wanted to be a comedian.
Speaker 4: But I was in college having not really focused much
Speaker 4: on comedy, and I had a professor who you know,
Speaker 4: to the to the outhouse and said, look, dude, you're
Speaker 4: you're you're five foot five, you're thirty pounds overweight, and
Speaker 4: you're already starting to lose your hair. You may want
Speaker 4: to think about some comedy. And so I started doing.
Speaker 4: I got very serious, and I had all the comedy
Speaker 4: albums that you had as a kid, but I wasn't
Speaker 4: I wasn't singing along with them until I started then
Speaker 4: in college going okay, why is what he allen?
Speaker 1: Funny?
Speaker 4: And that's when I started trying to learn the routines
Speaker 4: and do them with him, to get the rhythms and
Speaker 4: to get the sound and the musicality of it, you know.
Speaker 4: And and so there were a couple of people I
Speaker 4: could fall into, but I wanted.
Speaker 6: He would even later admit to ripping off Bob Hope
Speaker 6: with that one move that became a signature of his,
Speaker 6: which was yes, yeah, yeah, he just clearly ripped off
Speaker 6: I meant a much lodger Man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, exactly. But I could not.
Speaker 4: I did not like, for instance, I feel like I
Speaker 4: should be able to do Chris Walkin. I cannot get
Speaker 4: Chris Walkin. I can't get him.
Speaker 6: Well, so I was dabbling a little bit. Chris McCrory, who,
Speaker 6: after being a twenty six year old punk and winning
Speaker 6: an Oscar for the usual suspects, which I insist he'd
Speaker 6: leave it my mantle one week out of fifty two
Speaker 6: for all the lines I improvised in his Academy World screenplay,
Speaker 6: I mean literally every line that's quoted to me on
Speaker 6: the street by fans.
Speaker 1: Of course, it's something you came up with.
Speaker 6: Sure, the very first time my character speaks in the
Speaker 6: beginning to Move, when we're all individually round up before
Speaker 6: the police lineup. My character's in a garage. He's working
Speaker 6: on a car. The garage door behind him opens up
Speaker 6: and five cops pill in behind him, which he sees
Speaker 6: through the side mirror he's working on behind. There are
Speaker 6: no lines written, And I said in the on the day,
Speaker 6: are you sure you're brought enough guys in the movie?
Speaker 6: Leave the trophy on my mantle one week out of
Speaker 6: the year for so so so. Anyways, So Chris, Chris
Speaker 6: McCrory and I were he's now writing and directing the
Speaker 6: mission possible, what he was doing quite well. But we
Speaker 6: we were casting UH, a TV thing that we created
Speaker 6: UH less than a year after he won that Academy Award.
Speaker 6: And while we were casting, in between when the cast
Speaker 6: and director go out and get the next person to
Speaker 6: bring him in, and we started improvising Christopher Walking and
Speaker 6: Regis Philbin co hosting a morning talk show because because
Speaker 6: why not, Because we were quite bored and needed to
Speaker 6: make each other laugh. And then we were in on
Speaker 6: the warners lot in the golf cart going to lunch
Speaker 6: the way you do. And we see Jay Moore walking
Speaker 6: and we just about run him over as we corner
Speaker 6: him against a building and insist that he show us
Speaker 6: his secret for doing Christopher Walkin because he was the
Speaker 6: only one who had done it on television, which he
Speaker 6: did the famous Christopher Walkin's Psychic Friends Network a sketch
Speaker 6: on Saturday Night Live. And so he gave me the
Speaker 6: key that day, which I can give you, which is
Speaker 6: every single syllable word when doing Christopher Walkin becomes a
Speaker 6: two syllable word, So the word no, no becomes now. It
Speaker 6: begins there and then you just spread it out.
Speaker 1: It's Jay.
Speaker 4: I was doing a movie. I've directed two films that
Speaker 4: nobody has seen. Jay was in the first one, and
Speaker 4: he told me the story of that great time that
Speaker 4: he was in the cast and Walkin.
Speaker 1: Was the host the bear Suit, and well there's that.
Speaker 4: But also they're all in Lauren's office and Chris has
Speaker 4: his back to everybody as they're all pitching ideas for sketches,
Speaker 4: and he has no reaction until he out of nowhere
Speaker 4: goes dresses funny, oh that was the bearsuit, and everybody's gone, yeah, yeah, sure, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: the bearsuit.
Speaker 6: That story that exact same setup and delivery punch that
Speaker 6: you just gave has also been attributed to him in
Speaker 6: that moment saying bass suits are funny always make me laugh.
Speaker 6: I don't know which is funny or which he actually said.
Speaker 1: This is pretty good.
Speaker 6: Yeah, So the Talking Walking podcast, as I was talking
Speaker 6: about the reason I did it, what makes me laugh
Speaker 6: about the Christopher Walk impression and why I still do
Speaker 6: it even though it's become the most pedestrian impression do
Speaker 6: is that What I find most interesting is the conversational
Speaker 6: Christopher Walker, him talking about the minutia. So the you
Speaker 6: know there, if you google Christopher Walker impersonation, sometimes over
Speaker 6: thirty thousand search and answers will come up. That's how
Speaker 6: pedestrian it's become. There are five pages on YouTube dedicated
Speaker 6: to Asians doing Christopher Wall and they are hilarious. I
Speaker 6: won't do any of them because I'd rather not be canceled,
Speaker 6: but you do need.
Speaker 1: To see them.
Speaker 6: So so yeah, the conversational just talking about anything and
Speaker 6: nothing without having to push. For example, here's your opportunity
Speaker 6: to ask Christopher Walker and anything. Let's let's realize this.
Speaker 1: In real time.
Speaker 6: Anything you'd ever want to ask, And it doesn't have
Speaker 6: to be funny. It doesn't have to be at anything
Speaker 6: you're actually curious about.
Speaker 5: When exercising, what is the one exercise that could probably
Speaker 5: heal the best result?
Speaker 6: Damn good question, Peter Frankenstein never scared me. Marsupials do
Speaker 6: because they're fast. That's it doesn't really matter what you
Speaker 6: That's where we're going, Chris.
Speaker 1: Some people scared of elevators.
Speaker 6: It's simple. I probably the quick and easy answer, of course,
Speaker 6: is the up and down aspect. But what you really
Speaker 6: need to think about is the buttons. I know where
Speaker 6: I'm going, but I don't know which button.
Speaker 3: Is.
Speaker 1: That As much fun to do as it is, it's.
Speaker 6: More fun, by the way. Uh uh. This is the
Speaker 6: weird part about doing impersonations. When I am doing those people,
Speaker 6: it becomes like a possession.
Speaker 1: And also you light up when you do it.
Speaker 5: And I watched your loved Misery Loves Comedy, and I
Speaker 5: want to talk about that in a minute. But the thing,
Speaker 5: there were some really cool stuff that resonated there too.
Speaker 5: You got a lot of comedians to talk about not
Speaker 5: just misery, but the one thing that jumped out of me,
Speaker 5: And I think was Jim Gaffigan who said it. The
Speaker 5: mad think about being on stage and the Dwarfin release
Speaker 5: in the rush is I got a secret that I'm
Speaker 5: going to present to you in a minute, and only I.
Speaker 1: Know it, and wait and wait for wait for it.
Speaker 1: I got to come in.
Speaker 5: That's such a more powerful thing that I know this
Speaker 5: you's going to kill and every commute.
Speaker 6: Jason has felt that on stage doing a play.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember doing the Neil Simon play on Broadway and.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but but I also had a weird reaction to
Speaker 4: that too, because I did that. I did the play
Speaker 4: for uh ten months or eleven months, maybe even more,
Speaker 4: and the first four or five six months it was
Speaker 4: that rush of going, oh, I got something good, and
Speaker 4: I know they're going to do this thing. And then
Speaker 4: I started to get resentful of the fact that they
Speaker 4: were going to do it. Right Why I started to go, oh, yeah, sheep,
Speaker 4: here it comes, here, it come watch they're gonna.
Speaker 1: Les yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, because I got I
Speaker 1: got bored with it. I got bored with the material.
Speaker 4: And the nice thing about doing stand up is you
Speaker 4: get tired of your team, you switch it up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you do feel that Russia. I got something coming. Yeah,
Speaker 1: when you know you've got it, when you know you've
Speaker 1: got it, it's it's really good.
Speaker 6: It's a weird sensation. It's very powerful.
Speaker 5: Misery Loves Comedy. If you haven't seen the documentary, it's
Speaker 5: one of the best documentaries I've ever seen, with comedians
Speaker 5: being really candid. I guess because you knew them all.
Speaker 5: They were really comfortable with you. The one that jumped
Speaker 5: out at me was Martin Short walking with his wife,
Speaker 5: Why don't you tell that story? Because it was pretty like, whoa,
Speaker 5: this is revealing.
Speaker 6: So I was approached to direct a documentary with the
Speaker 6: thesis do you have to be miserable to be funny?
Speaker 6: And then I came up with the title Misery Loves Comedy,
Speaker 6: which wasn't too difficult as titles go. But then I
Speaker 6: reached out to sixty or so annoyingly famous funny people
Speaker 6: and asked them if I could just, you know, have
Speaker 6: them either meet somewhere convenient or many times, in the
Speaker 6: case of Marty Short, at my dining table.
Speaker 1: Because they were going to go to this party where
Speaker 1: that right where these people were.
Speaker 6: He and his wife were walking along and they saw
Speaker 6: a bench.
Speaker 5: And he said, I got to sit down, and she
Speaker 5: said why He said, because I'm devastated right now. I
Speaker 5: can't fake going in there and dealing with the fact
Speaker 5: that he's that there are a couple of people that
Speaker 5: have taken off that were my equals, there's that much
Speaker 5: more successful.
Speaker 1: I don't know how to deal with that.
Speaker 5: And it was really honest and just open and he
Speaker 5: had to really deal with that and kind of up
Speaker 5: to his game to even walk into that room because
Speaker 5: he was so devastated by their success.
Speaker 6: And yeah, it was one thing to share with his
Speaker 6: wife who he could trust with these private such a
Speaker 6: private moment and reveal of honesty that he was so
Speaker 6: jealous of this person or person forgetting a job. I
Speaker 6: think it was SNL, but he wanted that he didn't
Speaker 6: want to go to the party.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was then to share it with me in
Speaker 7: the camera for this documentary, that was really something that's
Speaker 7: a good pull.
Speaker 5: The other thing that got me was Christopher Guest did
Speaker 5: a thing and I've never seen Christopher Guest really talk
Speaker 5: that much, and he did the thing where he threw
Speaker 5: his You asked him about when he started being funny,
Speaker 5: and he said he started in school where he would
Speaker 5: throw the screeching noise mm hmm across the room and
Speaker 5: get other people in trouble. Oh, like a ventrilous like
Speaker 5: a ventriloquist, and they was, and he did.
Speaker 6: It, and then he does it and and it was
Speaker 6: when I was editing I realized I had to put
Speaker 6: a little chiron or lower third, which says he's he's
Speaker 6: really doing it, because it it sounds so dubbed in
Speaker 6: right after the fact, because in some cases he could
Speaker 6: move his mouth as if he were talking and that
Speaker 6: same sort of whatever the sound was. Uh yeah, it was.
Speaker 6: It's bizarre. Uh yeah, yeah. Chris, I guess is a
Speaker 6: tough interview. He was on the chat show. We'd known
Speaker 6: each other a while since that rob Ryn and Christopher
Speaker 6: guest thing. I mentioned it at the top. That led
Speaker 6: to a few good man, he's tough. In fact when
Speaker 6: he was on the chat so people would email or
Speaker 6: call and say, oh, buddy, that was tough. And my
Speaker 6: thought was that was that was Chris Guess having a blast.
Speaker 6: What you just saw was the most funn he's ever
Speaker 6: had in a conversation on camera. Sure, yeah, I don't
Speaker 6: think he ever really did talk trips he was.
Speaker 5: It was fascinating to hear him talk at all, because
Speaker 5: I never have a couple of quicks. Exactly, did Jack
Speaker 5: Nicholson really hit on your mom? Yes, oh, I don't
Speaker 5: know about that.
Speaker 6: Every story that's in the book and has consequently become
Speaker 6: a part of my stand up back happened.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what was your mom that hot?
Speaker 6: Because Jack, you find that a stretch looking at me now.
Speaker 1: Just think I'm just thinking age wise. He doesn't for
Speaker 1: the show, gal.
Speaker 6: So here's my mom comes to visit while we're shooting.
Speaker 6: She's you know, her nickname was the Sun because we
Speaker 6: were mere planets revolving around. And so when she came
Speaker 6: to visit in the courtroom Nicholson on the stand, that
Speaker 6: just happened to be the day we were shooting. Not
Speaker 6: only that, but we just happen to be shooting a
Speaker 6: POV over Jack's shoulder, his POV onto the courtroom, which
Speaker 6: means the camera angle now is so wide for this setup,
Speaker 6: there's no place to put my mom where she can
Speaker 6: stand and watch us shoot. Well, they end up having
Speaker 6: to put her over Nicholson's other shoulder, and so while
Speaker 6: we're shooting, she's waving at me and oblivious to the process,
Speaker 6: and Nicholson sees how truly unnerving. I mean, I'm aware
Speaker 6: while we're shooting the movie, this is easily the most
Speaker 6: important thing I have ever done and might ever do.
Speaker 6: And my mother one's ultimate judge is in my eye line.
Speaker 6: That's bad enough. And now she's waving and making faces
Speaker 6: about how excited she is while we're doing the scene.
Speaker 6: So I'm losing my Nicholson sees that, and in between
Speaker 6: lighting setups, he walks, gets off the stand and comes
Speaker 6: over to the table where I'm seated and.
Speaker 7: Says, Hey, keV, how'sn't hanging listen? I was hoping you
Speaker 7: might be able to do me your favor. I was
Speaker 7: hoping you might be able to get your mom.
Speaker 6: Off my edge. Huh.
Speaker 7: I think you might be able to handle that. I
Speaker 7: wouldn't mind so much. But she's hitting on me. What
Speaker 7: the hell am I supposed to do?
Speaker 1: keV?
Speaker 6: Am I supposed to take your mom back to my trailer?
Speaker 1: Is that what you want? So?
Speaker 6: Did my mom hit on him? I don't think so.
Speaker 6: Did Jack Nicholson say that to me?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 4: There, wonderful, Yes, you you have done so much stuff
Speaker 4: and most of the time, like me, and like our
Speaker 4: circle of friends, our character actor friends.
Speaker 1: We're never the guy. We're in the group, but we're
Speaker 1: not the guy. Yeah, how do you feel about that?
Speaker 4: Is there a thing you'd like to do where you
Speaker 4: are the guy? Is there a story that you haven't
Speaker 4: yet told that you're waiting to tell or.
Speaker 6: I tell you. It's a great question. I've only been
Speaker 6: number one on the call sheet a couple of times,
Speaker 6: and the first time the writer director Rod Lurry, who
Speaker 6: went his next movie was The Contender with Joan Allen
Speaker 6: and Jeff Bridges and yeah, several Academy Award nominations for
Speaker 6: those performers Gary Oldman. But the first movie he wrote
Speaker 6: directed was called Deterrence, where I play the first It's
Speaker 6: a political thriller, and we were in the same poker
Speaker 6: game and he said to me one night, well, Peter,
Speaker 6: you might know because he was.
Speaker 1: A Rod Laurie was my movie reviewer.
Speaker 6: Movie review.
Speaker 5: I actually had to call Rob after about the seventh
Speaker 5: review and say, Rod, you gotta like a movie. You
Speaker 5: can't pay every movie. Yeah, you're saying, is no good.
Speaker 5: And the fact that he was ready to be a
Speaker 5: director was amazing.
Speaker 6: So yeah, yeah, yeah, I thought you knew. So he said,
Speaker 6: I've written this movie in about forty pages in and
Speaker 6: it's about this president of the United States, and who
Speaker 6: have you know involved in this political thriller? And I realized,
Speaker 6: as I'm writing it, and I'm writing you as the character,
Speaker 6: are you? Are you cool to read this? Or should
Speaker 6: I start thinking about somebody else? And I said, well,
Speaker 6: do you want no one to see your film? I mean,
Speaker 6: why are you.
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 6: I'm very exceptionally proud of that film and that work.
Speaker 6: And I was right nobody saw it. Uh, it's damn
Speaker 6: good political.
Speaker 1: It was a good movie, very.
Speaker 6: Very uh maybe uh prevalent in today's world. But anyways, Uh,
Speaker 6: to answer your question, the reason the title of my
Speaker 6: book is How I Slept My Way to the Middle
Speaker 6: is because I've been afforded an extraordinary existence and happiness
Speaker 6: and opportunities. You know, standing on the set or at
Speaker 6: base camp while doing the usual suspects of my agent
Speaker 6: call saying you've you've been offered a part in Martin
Speaker 6: Scorsese's next film, set in Las Vegas, written by Nick Polegie,
Speaker 6: who wrote Good Fellas. I said, you can stop talking,
Speaker 6: just you know, go make it.
Speaker 1: Happen, yeah.
Speaker 6: On Casino, you know those kind of moments and various things,
Speaker 6: And then you know the marvelous Missus Mail where you
Speaker 6: get to be an ensemble of amazing actors with a
Speaker 6: female lead who comes pretty much out of nowhere. You know,
Speaker 6: did I mean? I mean nominated work on House of Cards,
Speaker 6: but no one really knew who right you was? But
Speaker 6: there I am suddenly with eight paid scenes. Were my
Speaker 6: character bloviates? So yes, I was used to. At the
Speaker 6: beginning of the eight paid scene, I say to Tom
Speaker 6: Cruise or fill in the big star here, Hey, what
Speaker 6: do you think we should do? And then that star
Speaker 6: talks for seven and a half pages, and then I say,
Speaker 6: all right, let's go. So I love this character actor
Speaker 6: career that has afforded me all these travel all over
Speaker 6: the world blah blah blah, And I've been in the
Speaker 6: airspace of the biggest stars in the world out in
Speaker 6: their social personal lives, and it's not to be envy.
Speaker 6: So I do think we've been afforded, Jason, the best
Speaker 6: of all versions of show business by being character actors
Speaker 6: who get work based on our own work. Directors showrunners
Speaker 6: at some point realized, well, this isn't the guy that's
Speaker 6: going to put butts in the seats, but I want
Speaker 6: him based on being a fan of his the word.
Speaker 1: Yeah. By the way, can you teach anybody to do impression? Yes?
Speaker 6: I can. I teach people how to do Jason Statham
Speaker 6: some of you, most of you know who that is
Speaker 6: a short little British bullet heead I can call him
Speaker 6: that because he's not here. So I had when my
Speaker 6: book came out, I was doing the morning talk show
Speaker 6: to promote the book tour, and I was following him
Speaker 6: on these shows because he had a new movie out,
Speaker 6: because he hadn't had a new movie out in the
Speaker 6: six weeks, so he would be the first guest, and
Speaker 6: I would follow him with my book. And it only
Speaker 6: takes a couple of those appearances before the host or
Speaker 6: hostess invariably says Kevin Jason Stathum was just here, do
Speaker 6: you do Jason Stathum? Well, the first couple of times
Speaker 6: that happens, you know, it's it's difficult. And then after
Speaker 6: that I realized I'm the jerk for not coming with
Speaker 6: the impression right, and I had to teach myself, which
Speaker 6: is why I can now teach you Peter and here
Speaker 6: we go.
Speaker 1: Go all right, everybody home, listen carefully, Here we go.
Speaker 6: Gee and anyone can learn this. Jason Statham says six
Speaker 6: words faster than any human being on the planet. These
Speaker 6: six were words are do you know what I mean?
Speaker 6: Which he says as Joe Maade. He reduces six words
Speaker 6: to two syllables.
Speaker 7: If I'll put you in that share, you'd be dead
Speaker 7: in thirty seconds.
Speaker 6: Joe me, do you not?
Speaker 7: What do I mean?
Speaker 6: But if you just say Joe Made, so the name Joe,
Speaker 6: the word mean because Joe's a little cranky, and then
Speaker 6: grap up your voice a little bit, Joe made that's it.
Speaker 6: You're done.
Speaker 1: You spot Joe, Spot Joe. Do you do anybody? Do
Speaker 1: you have any I cannot anybody. I don't have anybody.
Speaker 1: It's weird.
Speaker 5: I mean, I can play guitar, can here's something on
Speaker 5: radio and play guitar, But I can't pick up a voice.
Speaker 5: And it's horrible. How would Christopher Walken? Do?
Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 6: Okay, so I don't understand the lack of need or
Speaker 6: appreciation for syllables. I say us all six they're there
Speaker 6: for a reason. Do you no.
Speaker 1: What I mean, and there's seven all of you know.
Speaker 4: I I fancy that I do a fairly good Shatner,
Speaker 4: although Shatner says, I don't see.
Speaker 1: It, but but but you do have a way.
Speaker 4: It's not only the sound you you, there's a physical
Speaker 4: embody of it too that you get you Dana Carvey
Speaker 4: gets it. It's it's more than just a sound. It's
Speaker 4: it's a transformation, you know.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's why it feels like a possession.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because when you became f with it, Bill, because
Speaker 1: of your your personation. Correct.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Yeah, it was weird. I mean I was doing
Speaker 6: it on talk shows, so he was either shown it
Speaker 6: or saw it and eventually reached out about me. He
Speaker 6: wrote a book called ghet a Life, and there was
Speaker 6: a chapter about people impersonating him, and he wanted me
Speaker 6: to come by the office and explain to him for
Speaker 6: a chapter in the book, which is in the book
Speaker 6: wherein I will tutor or walk the reader through how
Speaker 6: to do and his words the consummate Captain Kirk. So
Speaker 6: I get that call and I'm as Jason will tell
Speaker 6: you the most absurd from a monkey who does voices.
Speaker 6: To get that phone call, you know, I race to
Speaker 6: the car. I'm halfway there and it dawns on me.
Speaker 6: Oh no, I'm going to have to say to William Shatner, Well,
Speaker 6: mister Shatner, you know you're a actor. I mean, that's
Speaker 6: why there's an impression, because you take ridiculous pauses. Now
Speaker 6: I was, I'm joking. He's an extraordinary actor, but he
Speaker 6: would you know the character. There's actually a moment in
Speaker 6: Twilight Zone where the character of Captain Kirk is born,
Speaker 6: not the one on the airplane, but the one in
Speaker 6: the diner where he's stuck with the the fortune telemachine
Speaker 6: and his wife says, are we just going to stay
Speaker 6: here all day? Is this thing in to rule our lives?
Speaker 6: And he turns through and he says, I don't know.
Speaker 6: And in that moment, Captain.
Speaker 1: Kirk was playing so oh my god.
Speaker 6: So halfway to Shatner's office at dawns on me, I
Speaker 6: have to say that to him, and I don't. I
Speaker 6: So I make nice and I'm in the book and yeah,
Speaker 6: it's a ridiculous thing that you're you meet the person
Speaker 6: your due, It's it's usually a no win because again,
Speaker 6: the the parlor trick is me thinking of someone you
Speaker 6: like and recreating them and stealing the love you. So
Speaker 6: if they're there, I am aboute fraud. Although when Alan
Speaker 6: Arkin rest his Soul came to see me in New York,
Speaker 6: do stand up? He came backstage afterwards and said, you
Speaker 6: know what, I've decided of just seeing this, I'm not
Speaker 6: gonna stammer so much. Do you hear me talking right now?
Speaker 6: There's no stammering. There's no stammering.
Speaker 1: I'm just talking.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna keep talking even though I have nothing more
Speaker 6: to say.
Speaker 1: Unbelievable. You know, here's what I want to ask you,
Speaker 1: and believe me.
Speaker 4: I'm not I don't mean this is set up. You
Speaker 4: do not have to do anything. I always think that
Speaker 4: people that we we tend to think of to do
Speaker 4: impressions of have something very unique about their sound or
Speaker 4: their presentation.
Speaker 1: Am I would I be an easy impression?
Speaker 6: Yeah? Well yes, because of the George Costanza of it all.
Speaker 6: I think I think George as a character his highs
Speaker 6: are pretty high and his lows are very intense, and
Speaker 6: so those are the wavelengths that people could easily it.
Speaker 4: Would be me a lah George for the most part.
Speaker 4: But it's not like our buddy Richard kind where you know,
Speaker 4: just sitting at the table.
Speaker 1: We don't do some version of Richard.
Speaker 6: No, no, you're not a caricature.
Speaker 4: High and by to you because I see you all
Speaker 4: the time. But a thank you for doing this, b
Speaker 4: thank you for inviting me into your world as often
Speaker 4: as you do, and I am very excited to see
Speaker 4: what comes next. We just just uh, people should know.
Speaker 4: I was just did an episode of Kevin's podcast on
Speaker 4: the MASL show.
Speaker 6: Rewatch called My Missus Maisel Pod.
Speaker 1: You had a lovely two hour conversation that you know,
Speaker 1: and we we chat all the time.

Speaker 5: in MASL and I left.
Speaker 1: Every time you come in. Every time you make an entrance,
Speaker 1: you made me.
Speaker 5: You made me laugh because there's always some crap that
Speaker 5: they threw it, you hid money, some kind of aggravation
Speaker 5: and you had to deal with it, and you play
Speaker 5: that funnier than just about anybody else.
Speaker 4: And also it was you, Caroline Dank Karen, we're just
Speaker 4: so well because it was always.
Speaker 1: Gonna make Yeah, you just notched up.
Speaker 6: Yeah, there was no there was no messing up that
Speaker 6: particular performance and were just about it.
Speaker 5: Was kind of really successful, and yet I have to
Speaker 5: solve everybody's bro So thank you.
Speaker 1: Can't wait to see your next thing. We'll see you
Speaker 1: at our next dinner.
Speaker 6: The maisl uh just plug why not is called my
Speaker 6: missus maisle pod. If you're interested in the rewatch, where
Speaker 6: I have Jason and other people who worked on the
Speaker 6: show as my guest each episode, then thank.
Speaker 1: You fellas for this time that Kevin.
Speaker 6: How to quote you on mine? When you quote when
Speaker 6: you plug thiscast however you find you?
Speaker 5: So that's my that's my buddy Pollock. What do you
Speaker 5: think he's always great? But he's always great. I think
Speaker 5: he's been in.
Speaker 1: About ninety moves. Oh he's you go to I m dB.
Speaker 5: He is one of the nicest much so much nice,
Speaker 5: yeah much God.
Speaker 1: Google before you go to Google.
Speaker 4: Hum, I have a little game David before we before
Speaker 4: we go well, actually know what go to you first?
Speaker 1: David? Let's tell you. Then you can play along in
Speaker 1: my game, and Laurie you can play. Okay, go ahead,
Speaker 1: what do you your first? Da?
Speaker 8: Well, first of all, I actually googled Christopher Walking impressions.
Speaker 8: There's one hundred and forty two thousand results that pop up.
Speaker 8: But this is wow, this is the interesting thing. The
Speaker 8: first six are compilations of different famous people doing it.
Speaker 1: But what do you think is the.
Speaker 8: First solo impression of Christopher walking that comes up?
Speaker 1: Under that? It's either it's either Kevin or j Moore
Speaker 1: because that they are noted for doing extraordinary goodness. It's Kevin.
Speaker 8: Yeah, so I thought that was because everything else before that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know why, because Google Google only gives you.
Speaker 4: The way it works is the ones that are the
Speaker 4: most viewed will move to the top of the list,
Speaker 4: and Kevin watches it incessantly.
Speaker 1: That's why it has start watching. Yes, exactly, sense are
Speaker 1: really no really? Today?
Speaker 8: Was that Jason was the original little person cast or
Speaker 8: the the uh yeh, the Lieutenant Sam Weinberg. Yeah, I
Speaker 8: thought that maybe i'd go through some famous roles that
Speaker 8: people know who they are, but who were some of
Speaker 8: the people that we were either originally cast.
Speaker 1: Or asked to do that? All right?
Speaker 8: So of course we all remember in the Harry Potter franchise,
Speaker 8: the original Headmaster the Dumbledore character was played by Richard Harris.
Speaker 9: That's the wonderful actor who then passed away, and then
Speaker 9: they had to find a replacement, of course, and they
Speaker 9: they eventually found the wonderful Michael Michael Gambung who just
Speaker 9: passed away very recently.
Speaker 1: But before they went to him.
Speaker 8: Guess which other British actor they approached I'm.
Speaker 1: Going to go with?
Speaker 4: And I may have heard this somewhere. If I'm wrong,
Speaker 4: I'm wrong. Peter o'toua.
Speaker 6: No did I?
Speaker 1: I don't know British and the British actor who they
Speaker 1: went to for Michael Kane very close, sir Ian McKellen.
Speaker 1: Oh sure makes sense. Yeah, but here this.
Speaker 8: Is the and this is the one I why I
Speaker 8: did at first, this is such an awesome thing. The
Speaker 8: reason why he turned it down is he said that
Speaker 8: Richard Harris was a critic of McKellen's acting skills. He
Speaker 8: actually called him passionless, and in an interview with Hard
Speaker 8: Talk magazine, McKellen explained he couldn't take over the park
Speaker 8: for an actor that he didn't appreciate his work for
Speaker 8: the No, well, I looked at it sort of disrespectful
Speaker 8: for the gentleman who originated. All right, here's here's another one.
Speaker 8: Jody Foster won the Oscar for her performance in the
Speaker 8: Silence of the Lambs. But she was not the first
Speaker 8: person that they wanted to fill that role.
Speaker 4: Okay, they wanted I'm trying to think of when it
Speaker 4: was made, who would have been big?
Speaker 1: They wanted, Uh, what you guess, Peter the Goldie hawn.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Meg.
Speaker 8: Ryan, excellent, guesses it was Michelle Meifer, Michelle the.
Speaker 5: Other Meg Ryan, the other Meg Ryan.
Speaker 1: Of course she was the girl.
Speaker 8: Yes, And and the reason she turned down the role
Speaker 8: because she felt that it was putting evil into the
Speaker 8: world and evil one in that picture and she did
Speaker 8: not want to That's interesting. There you go, here's an
Speaker 8: odd one. The last one run before he was John Wick.
Speaker 8: Keiana Reeves was just of course Neo in the Matrix. Yes,
Speaker 8: but he was not the first person they asked to
Speaker 8: be in that that part. They actually went to several
Speaker 8: people before they settled on him. But which former co
Speaker 8: star with Keanu Reeves was asked before Keanu Reeves to
Speaker 8: play Neo in the Matrix?
Speaker 1: Wenona Ryder, I was gonna say, pee Wee Herman. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, the run is actually a good one. It
Speaker 1: was Sandra Bullock. Oh yeah, look at that.
Speaker 4: All right, I'm gonna play a very quick game because
Speaker 4: I know Laurie wants me to go.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna name actors. That's all Laurie does is wrap us.
Speaker 4: Because we had Devin colleg This is an honor Kevin Pollack,
