00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 2: every Friday night and with two hundred and fifty strangers, fans,

82
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:05,880

86
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 5: sure they're like ready to laugh.

87
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 3: Right, that's like the big hype guy.

88
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 4: That's a misconception. If you do that, you start off

89
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 4: here and there's no place to go but here.

90
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 3: Oh that's true.

91
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,000

00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,799
Speaker 4: show going to be? Oh, Michelle has a has three

93

Speaker 4: not cranking?

95
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 5: Right?

96
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 4: And I had to figure that in. So if I started, oh,

97
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 4: this is funny, always funny, and then three hours later

98
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 4: he's not only not funny, I hate him.

99
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 5: He's keeping Yeah, that's not talking at me, and you

100
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 5: want yeah, well, it's part of the game because they

101
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 5: don't know they're going to be there.

102
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 4: For three to five hours.

103
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 3: True, right, they get.

104
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 4: Tickets, Oh, we've got full house tickets. It's thirty five minutes.

105
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 4: It's thirty minutes when we're watch it on TV. So

106
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 4: if they make a mistake or tube yeah yeah, right,

107
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 4: the reservations for seven you may want to bring a sandwich.

108
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah.

109
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 4: Yeah.

110
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 2: We had to start feeding them because their blood, their

111
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 2: blood sugar would be as feed You.

112
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 4: And Friends, which was just down the street from you guys.

113
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 4: That took eight hours. Yeah, with the audience with the.

114
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 5: Audience audiences halfway through. Sometimes you know, they kept the

115
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 5: same one, yeah.

116
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 4: At the beginning for the first two years, because the

117
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 4: producers of that show did a showtime show called dream

118
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 4: On right, which was no audience and it was a hit,

119
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 4: so they thought this is how you do it.

120
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 5: You can't sitcom like a single camp.

121
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 2: Right, God, no eight hours and they don't even have

122
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 2: kids or dogs on that show.

123
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 3: That makes us look really super.

124
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 5: Yah don't Yeah, they say, don't work with dogs or

125
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 5: kids or apparently on a taping of.

126
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 4: Friends, Yeah, it was funny and then you guys know this,

127
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 4: but I'm Friends. After the first scene, right, it is

128
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 4: over here and in front of the audience, they were

129
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 4: believe they're making stuff up, and you and I know

130
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 4: that what they're saying is, what's that joke we had

131
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 4: on Monday that we threw away? Right, right, So I'm

132
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:46,799
Speaker 4: making up that they're reconstituting, yeah, right right the scene

133
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 4: what joke works?

134
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: Got to joke work, and sometimes you got to change.

135
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 4: The house was an unusual warm up because of the

136
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 4: amount of kids in the audience, so I had to modulate,

137
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 4: but I did, and and Garrett toward a younger audience,

138
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 4: So no swearing, no family friendly, right.

139
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 5: I think didn't we had a did we have an

140
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 5: age limit on kids? It was like ten or twelve

141
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 5: or something because they had to sit there for a while,

142
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 5: I think.

143
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 4: In less weeks old.

144
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was like twelve.

145
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, wow, But yeah we had I mean, our

146
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 5: audience has definitely had a lot of kids and a

147
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 5: lot of families, So I'm yeah, I'm sure you it's

148
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 5: you got to sort of get rid of a few

149
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 5: jokes here and there.

150
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 4: Oh got you totally.

151
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 3: I mean, Reggie was it was.

152
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 5: That was full house, the first like family show you'd

153
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 5: ever done.

154
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 4: Warm up for No, most of the shows family shows

155
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 4: because because if you recall after ninety five and when

156
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 4: you guys were off the air is when the not

157
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 4: to bring HBO into it, but the breaking baths and

158
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 4: stuff and the swearing came in.

159
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 5: I read more of the sort of premiere television, like

160
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 5: more adult skewing.

161
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, but family shows, that's what I did mostly.

297
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 2: Was it like our three? Was it the beginning when

298
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,680

299
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:31,040

302
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,640

303
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 4: they don't like you me in the first five minutes,

304
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 4: they're not going to like me. After five hours, they're

305
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 4: going to hate me. I mean, even if they love

306
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 4: me at the beginning, they dislike me.

307
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 5: I mean, it's true. I love my family and after

308
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 5: five hours I sort.

309
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 3: Of feel enough.

310
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: Were some of the tricks you is? Like, did you

311
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,320

00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 3: What?

313
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,280

00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 4: No? Trivia, I tried. I never saw another warm up

315
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 4: guy work because what I was doing worked and did

316
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 4: a lot of the music. I made my own music.

317
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,680

Speaker 4: lot of dancing. Those little girls loved to come up

320
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 4: and dance.

321
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 3: Yep.

322
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 4: And then you guys were great. You'd come out and

323
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 4: talk to the audience. Friends. Eight hours in, not one

324
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 4: of them came out and said thank you for coming,

325
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 4: or any questions. It was inconceivable. But that was from

326
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 4: day one because I did the pilot, and even at

327
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 4: the pilot, they were that's going to be good. Yeah.

328
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 5: Oh I remember Bob Saggett would get the mic and

329
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 5: then we were like, Bob, we've got all we got

330
00:16:58,160 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 5: to go.

331
00:16:58,840 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 3: I got it.

332
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 5: And he's like, well anyway, and like running with the

333
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 5: microphone away from Keith Richmond art stagement.

334
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 4: Yep, yeah, that was that was his. Uh, he was

335
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 4: a warm up for a while.

336
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 3: That's right, that's right. He missed it.

337
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 5: I mean but anytime there was a microphone within arms distance.

338
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 3: Of box flights, he would get on the intercom.

339
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 4: It's funny, didn't.

340
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, yeah, it was so good, so glib, so

341
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 5: so great. Yeah, now did you it's like for doing

342
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 5: warm up stuff, is there like do you have like

343
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 5: a warm up agent or is it just that you know,

344
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 5: writers and producers and people kind of connect that way.

345
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 4: I was really lucky in that I hit. But I

346
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 4: think they say the golden age of television was normal layer,

347
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 4: but I think it was at our time, and luckily

348
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 4: I had a good reputation so they would call me.

349
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 4: So there was no agent. I would negotiate the terms.

350
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 2: Great, represent yourself, you know, no commit involved, just just do.

351
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 3: It all on your own.

352
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 4: Yeah. And like I said earlier, the guys I know

353
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 4: that are still doing in that having a rough time.

354
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 3: I bet are and Fuller Ron that's right.

355
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 4: Do you know him Ron Pearson?

356
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 3: Yeah?

357
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, but I know the name. Like I said,

358
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 4: I never saw these guys.

359
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, Ron does. Yeah, he was. He did all kinds

360
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 3: of tricks. He was great.

361
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,719
Speaker 5: The audience always really loved him. He was super funny.

362
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 5: And I just remember the trick he did was the

363
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 5: latter that that terrified me. Every time he did that,

364
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 5: I'm like, what if it falls?

365
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 3: Like every time?

366
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have a had of time with the chainsaw

367
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 4: apple and ping pong bowl hugglers and they would take

368
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 4: a bite of the apple and still keep juggling. He

369
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:53,959
Speaker 4: just Galley did that.

370
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 3: That's yes. Yeah.

371
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 4: Do you remember the shows I worked on a show

372
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 4: called Good Time Girls? Uh huh, where he was on it.

373
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 4: I did a few Boos and Buddies, but mostly New Heart.

374
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, I remember watching New Heart with my mom.

375
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 2: And I'm assuming each show had its own feel Like

376
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 2: you mentioned, Full House had a lot of kids in

377
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 2: the audience, so each show would have its own demographic represented.

378
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: Was it easier with kids?

379
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 3: Many of you said that something harder with kids and audience.

380
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 4: There was no subtlety, There was no you couldn't be zeck.

381
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 4: They don't get that yet. It was a base level.

382
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,719
Speaker 4: But you said, what audience is are different? Made your

383
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 4: dad remember that? Yeah, they had every audience bust in

384
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 4: from from camps. So there were soldiers and little by

385
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 4: little he thought he was a soldier. Gerald mclaney, he

386
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 4: come on as men and not kidding, so you know,

387
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 4: but by the second he was a colonel.

388
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,719
Speaker 2: I guess, just really just leaning right out to the

389
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 2: to the theme.

390
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's amazing.

391
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, what was that like? Was that a good Were

392
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 5: they a good audience? Were they like happy to laugh

393
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:17,360
Speaker 5: and be yeah.

394
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 4: Very straight, but they weren't very joy.

395
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 5: Lastured they sat up very straight and we're incredibly attentive.

396
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I know sitcoms get a bad rap about

397
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 2: having canned laughter, and I'm like, but it's not canned,

398
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 2: it's real, and you you order.

399
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: The audience to do that.

400
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 2: You're just like, make sure you have the same enthusiasm

401
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 2: every teak.

402
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 4: It's funny you mentioned that last night. I had dinner

403
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 4: with with this girl and I don't watch those shows

404
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 4: because I hate canned laugh. Echo, It's not canned, it's

405
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 4: it's real. It's sweetened, right, yeah, but.

406
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 5: Sweet sweetened sweetening is what they do to sound for

407
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 5: shows and movies and stuff for those rights.

408
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 3: Are like, what are you talking about?

409
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 4: Uh?

410
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 5: And they it just like they fill it out a

411
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 5: little bit more so. It's like, you know, a laugh

412
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 5: is kind of has some little gaps on.

413
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 3: It or whatever.

414
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 5: They'll just fill in those holes so that it sounds

415
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 5: more consistent. But yeah, they know the laughs are real.

416
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 5: The laughs are real, they just sound a little prettier.

417
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 4: My My whole thing was, Okay, we're going to do

418
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 4: this again. It's it's a very similar similar joke. It

419
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 4: was exactly. It was at similar right, And we need

420
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 4: to you to remember where you laughed and how you

421
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 4: laugh so we can match it up, which is stupid.

422
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 4: How you laugh that.

423
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, you have a weird, awkward laugh. Continue doing that.

424
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 2: My mother's laugh in the audience because she had a

425
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 2: very loud and distinctive laugh, and so it would throw

426
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 2: me during the tape beans.

427
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: Because I was like, oh, mom's laughing again.

428
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 4: One thing I was going to say, I wrote it down.

429
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 4: Full House is if not one one of three shows

430
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 4: that I worked on hundreds of shows. I mean there

431
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 4: were hundreds of shows, thousands of times, and uh, full

432
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 4: House this day is one of the few casts to

433
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 4: stick together, which makes my heart failed good because you know,

434
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 4: you go, oh, uncle Jesse, and oh that's sehn Stanwillson.

435
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,719
Speaker 4: He's having dinner with somebody. You guys start together to

436
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 4: this day, which is unusual because usually a sitcom gets

437
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 4: together that one to five years and then great and

438
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 4: then maybe they make one friend. But Full House, to

439
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 4: your credit, yeah, was incredible.

440
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 5: We really stayed connected. And I will say a big

441
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 5: piece of that was Saggot.

442
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 3: Bob was.

443
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 5: Really and John two would plan dinners and stuff, but

444
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 5: Bob was kind of the nucleus, the lynchpin, and you know,

445
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 5: and Jeff too, you know, always having parties and stuff

446
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 5: in his house. But yeah, it really like it's crazy.

447
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 5: I mean how close everybody is, you know, and we

448
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 5: talk about it all the time on the show, but everybody,

449
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 5: every guest that comes on.

450
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 3: Right, You guys are a family like family.

451
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 4: It's a real family and new Heart as close as

452
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 4: they were, and I love them, I love doing the

453
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 4: show as close as they were on set and maybe

454
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 4: a little bit after they would all go their separate ways.

455
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, because, yeah, we haven't been able to get rid

456
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 5: of each other for nearly forty damn years.

457
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, really.

458
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 3: Almost forty years.

459
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 2: If you've been a family like wild because I don't

460
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 2: feel forty years old.

461
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 3: So how have you been?

462
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 4: Friend? Every day? I feel I'm dying, Yeah, I'm dying. Yeah.

463
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: Tell us what was it like in the writer's room?

464
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 3: You wrote?

465
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 2: You wrote an episode of season one the Big Three. Oh,

466
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 2: that's right when Danner turned thirty.

467
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 4: Years life too.

468
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 3: It was thirty yeah, yeah, yeah, a baby.

469
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 4: The uh. The writer's room was intimidating because you have

470
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 4: to get your idea in there. I had a very

471
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 4: bad experience on my first job on Lavernon Shirley. One

472
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 4: of the producers thought I was funny, so he hired me.

473
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 4: The rest of the writers were upset because well, this

474
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 4: guy didn't pay his dues, mister funny man. So it

475
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 4: was and there were twenty writers in the room at

476
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 4: laverneon Shirley. It was so intimidating. Oh, Mark's friend, where's

Speaker 3: No, I've heard.

485
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 5: I've heard that writer's rooms can be really intimidating and brutal.

486
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 5: I mean, and maybe you were in one, but of

487
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 5: course you were among they were friends, and you were

488
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 5: it was you know, fuller house.

489
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,360
Speaker 3: They weren't going to be like, you'll be funny soon.

490
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: Right right, Yeah, they were on their best.

491
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 3: No, I've heard.

492
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 5: I mean, I've heard it's really intimidating. You know, you've

493
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 5: got to be willing to throw your joke out there

494
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,959
Speaker 5: and talk over other people and let it, you know,

495
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 5: land hopefully, and if it doesn't, you're like, all right, hell,

496
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 5: I'll be gonna go person.

497
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 4: To be honest, even though it makes the show better

498
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 4: to be funny. Other writers are so competitive that if

499
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 4: you fail, they go up and.

500
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 5: Go, yeah it's that's yeah. It's kind of a dog

501
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 5: eat dog, you know, bully people.

502
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's rough.

503
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 4: Yeah.

504
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,199
Speaker 2: So I don't know if I could do it, Like

505
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 2: I just being in the same room with the same

506
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 2: twenty people for.

507
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: Hours and hours and hours.

508
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 2: That would drive me nuts, Like, especially if you clash

509
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:35,120
Speaker 2: with some of the personality.

510
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 3: I don't wait that.

511
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 4: The worst thing the Yin and the Yang was after

512
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 4: a run through, you go back to the office and

513
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 4: they pass out menus. The good part is you can

514
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 4: order anything off the menu. The bad part is if

515
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 4: it's a menu that means we're stay late, right exactly.

516
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,719
Speaker 3: This is a snap prepared to eat your dinner. You're

517
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 3: here a while.

518
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 4: At two am. Yeah.

519
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's brutal. It's a brutal scale.

520
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 4: I don't know how you guys. I'm not going to

521
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 4: mention any shows, but the landscape of Citcum is so bad.

522
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 4: I look at it and I get angry. But that's

523
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 4: lazy writing, that's lazy acting. All the whole bowl of

524
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 4: wax is like them trying to save money for sure.

525
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 5: Yeah that's that's I mean, you and I could talk

526
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 5: for hours about that, but yeah, it is.

527
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 3: It's a very different.

528
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 5: You know, they keep saying like sitcoms are dying and no,

529
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 5: but people love them, that people really enjoy watching sitcoms,

530
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 5: And I think they have been dying because nobody wants

531
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 5: to write, like you said, right, good ones or funny

532
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 5: ones or you know, and they're cheap to make.

533
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 3: If we're trying to save money, sitcoms are.

534
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 5: A lot less expensive than a single cam and locations

535
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 5: and you know, shooting on a stage.

536
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah right.

537
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 5: Basically Netflix, Hulu if you're listening, yeahs are listening. We're

00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 5: just saying we would be happy to be fully booked

00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 4: was a Michael Jackson video of a Beatles cover song.

554
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 4: At the time, there were two warring gangs in La

555
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 4: Crips in the Bloods. They invited half Crips and half Bloods.

556
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 4: I go, you know what, I don't think I'm right

557
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 4: for this audience. There was an urban audience. You know,

558
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 4: it was all black. And because I'm a little white guy,

559
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 4: what am I going to do? Listen, it's going to

560
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 4: be five to ten minutes before Michael comes out. Because

561
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 4: at at one o'clock you go on at ten to one,

562
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 4: get the wild up and it'll be great. So okay,

563
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 4: ten to one, So I did. They were going nuts

564
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 4: to crib music and giving away stuff. Cut to ten

565
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 4: minutes before and he still hadn't been He's still in

566
00:29:58,200 --> 00:29:58,800

00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: Wow, So was making everybody wait.

568
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 4: I had given out money from my walletparation right. The

569
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 4: other one. Yeah, in thirty seven years, there was fired

570
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 4: one time and it was on home improvement. And if

571
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 4: I couldn't do my job, if I was doing it wrong,

572
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 4: I would have had a career instead. I had a

573
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 4: very long career, so I knew how to do. And

574
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 4: the job was not to be funnier than the show,

575
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 4: that that that's crazy, and that to be so morose

576
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 4: that they're going to fall asleep. So I kind of

577
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 4: had it. So I hit most of the time, you know,

578
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 4: I was. I was good. Oh yeah, a few times

579
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 4: I was awful, because it's just whatever the circumstances.

580
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 5: Sometimes you get a vibe of an audience and you're

581
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 5: just like, oh, okay, you do this tonight, you just

582
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 5: have off day.

583
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, And a lot of times I was really good.

584
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 4: This one night on Home Improvement, I was really good.

585
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 4: The audience was hyped up, the show was good. I

586
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 4: was good. Everything matched because when when they'll cut and

587
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 4: you guys had to go ahead touch your makeup on

588
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 4: or do a clothes change. Tim Allen was in the

589
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:33,479
Speaker 4: makeup room and he heard me getting huge laughs. And

590
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 4: I wasn't afraid of being funny than the show. My

591
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 4: job was to integrate both the show and the warm up,

592
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 4: so it was seamless. But he told the makeup girly coone,

593
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 4: the warm up guy trying is act. He came out,

594
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 4: as you know, I faced the audience and the set

595
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 4: is to my back, and I hear hey, which is

596
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 4: hey is a funny word. It could be construed and

597
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 4: a lot of different ways, like hey, how you doing Hey, Hey, Hey,

598
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 4: Hey wants to get your attention. Hey. The third one

599
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 4: that he used was hey, which I knew was bad.

600
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 4: It was him, So turn around, hey, Tim Allen right here.

601
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 4: You know there's a show going on down here too.

602
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 4: Oh sorry, Tim, Well, he was just jealous that I

603
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 4: was getting laughs from the audience. Meanwhile I was doing

604
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 4: okay because they were loving the show and loving yeah,

605
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 4: So that was right. Luckily, most went well.

606
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 5: It's yeahs are also an interesting breath, like I want

607
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:47,959

Speaker 5: a delicate mountains.

609
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 4: And I don't consider myself a comedian. Had a tough

610
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 4: time doing warm ups because they would do their act,

611
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 4: which was twenty five to fifty minutes, and then still

612
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 4: have three hours waiting. Right. I didn't have any materials,

613
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 4: so it didn't bother me. It was just schmoozz.

614
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, you did such a great job at that.

Speaker 5: You like you were talking about with the music and stuff,

618
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 5: and you would hand us the microphones and we would

619
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 5: get to sing.

620
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,440

636
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 4: the first show, liver In and Shirley, the studio would

637
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 4: go dark and then one by one each castman but

638
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 4: came out and did a thing. Lenny and Squeaky played

639
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:25,720
Speaker 4: music in a song. Phil Forster would tell jokes. John

640
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 4: John would be John and Bob Wood would be on

641
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 4: the guitar. Right A flashed in my mind last night,

642

Speaker 5: Fascinating though, like sort of the the art quote unquote

762
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 5: of warm well, no, not quote unquote, but the art

763
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:09,839
Speaker 5: of warm up.

00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 3: That it's art of warm up.

765
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 5: So I kind of assumed that it would be more

766
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 5: like stand up that if you you know, but but no,

767
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 5: you got it's you have to be require strategy.

768
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's you need to strategize the night. You need

769
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,439
Speaker 2: to think ahead five hours like okay and.

770
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 3: Be like what do I do? How do I keep

771
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 3: them going? How do Yeah?

772
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:34,319
Speaker 5: No, that was that's really impressive because I mean, if

773
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 5: anyone thinks about standing up in front of a group

774
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 5: of people and holding their attention and keeping them excited.

775
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,840
Speaker 5: It is not an easy task, particularly when they're just

776
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 5: sitting there for hours, you know. But but you can't

777
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 5: get the shows a medium about that?

778
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 2: What a balance like that is a hard balance, funny

779
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 2: enough to keep.

780
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 3: But not funny enough to press off and start the show.

781
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

782
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's a hard job. I couldn't do it.

783
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 3: That would be really really hard, really hard.

787
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,800
Speaker 5: day and how far back they go, Like you know, again,

788
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,760
Speaker 5: we all have such a great family in this business

789
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 5: through this show, and yeah, that's great.

790
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,879
