Speaker 1: The Nanny from Hell and Jeff is not with us
Speaker 1: on Psusiasm and Jeff is not here today. He had
Speaker 1: a little thing he had to take care of. But
Speaker 1: we don't need him because we have the Nanny from
Speaker 1: Hell herself. Cherry.
Speaker 3: Oh, Terry is here with us today.
Speaker 2: Oh, everybody, it's so good to be here. How many
Speaker 2: people are here? Three? Four, five?
Speaker 1: All of us, big audience. And Cherry, let's talk first
Speaker 1: about how did you get the part? Did you audition?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: Actually, Larry called me at home. And the funny thing
Speaker 2: is I was so excited. I couldn't believe that he
Speaker 2: was calling me at home. It's like, you know, Jerry,
Speaker 2: Larry David. And he started to tell me about the character, right,
Speaker 2: But I was so excited or really wasn't listening, right,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? I thought to myself I'm
Speaker 2: gonna get it later when I get my script, right right, right,
Speaker 2: and yeah, and study it. And he was going on,
Speaker 2: and had you.
Speaker 1: Been I mean, this was just the third season, So
Speaker 1: had you been watching the first two seas? You had,
Speaker 1: because the first two seasons were really under the radar
Speaker 1: for us, I mean, you know, but people in the
Speaker 1: business were watching, but the general public I just noticed anecdotally.
Speaker 1: I wasn't really stopped in the street or anything till
Speaker 1: after season three.
Speaker 2: But you had been watching it?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought it was great, but I truly did
Speaker 2: not think it was all improvised. Right.
Speaker 3: Nobody believes us when we tell them that.
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you. I went in and I kept
Speaker 2: waiting for paper, you know, and I said to you,
Speaker 2: my agent at the time, I go, I still haven't
Speaker 2: gotten a script. Yeah, And then I'm just thinking, why
Speaker 2: haven't I gotten anything? And then I get in and
Speaker 2: I knew, if I knew anyone, it was Jeff. But
Speaker 2: I could never get alone with Jeff. And you guys
Speaker 2: are all on automatic. You're not even thinking about what
Speaker 2: the guest is thinking about, right, you know, you know,
Speaker 2: it was kind of like guest one SNL. Once they're
Speaker 2: there and they realize that it truly is live. You know,
Speaker 2: those who would never experience that are scared shitless.
Speaker 1: Right, I just had a flash of my favorite year
Speaker 1: when Peter O'Toole is doing that and he doesn't know
Speaker 1: it's live and he just freaks out.
Speaker 3: Did you ever see that movie?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: Oh, it's a great movie.
Speaker 1: It's a bat a live show and it was kind
Speaker 1: of based on your show of shows watch that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: And Peter O'Toole comes on as like, you know, what
Speaker 1: was his name, Alan Swan I think or something like that,
Speaker 1: and he's playing a Peter O'Toole character, like an Errol
Speaker 1: Flynn character, and he thinks he's doing the show, and
Speaker 1: then that night he realizes it's live and he gets
Speaker 1: completely sloshed and just fucks everything off. And but yeah,
Speaker 1: so same thing with us. Don't know, don't they know
Speaker 1: it's Saturday Night Live? But they go, what do your
Speaker 1: tape on Saturday Night Live?
Speaker 3: And so how many seasons did you do?
Speaker 2: Five? But I went straight from the groundings to there,
Speaker 2: so you know, you go live, you know live, and
Speaker 2: you don't even pay attention to the cameras. And he
Speaker 2: used to get in trouble. He's like, Sherry, do you
Speaker 2: know where your camera is? And I go, yeah, no
Speaker 2: you don't. Yeah, And he was right. I never paid
Speaker 2: attention to the cameras.
Speaker 3: Because you were alive, literal, live performers.
Speaker 2: The people at home like to see you too.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I get like, like, coming from stand up all those years,
Speaker 1: I don't even think about where the camera is. I'm
Speaker 1: just not camera savvy like that. I'm just I'm used
Speaker 1: to live performing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of like, wow, I never even thought
Speaker 2: you have to play to your camera.
Speaker 3: We're not Marlena Dietrich. Well, we know where our key
Speaker 3: light is.
Speaker 2: I never knew about lighting. I never even thought to say, wow,
Speaker 2: that's bad light. You know, even today I still don't
Speaker 2: think about but yet I know how important it is
Speaker 2: after the fact.
Speaker 1: But you don't think about it when you're performing. Neither
Speaker 1: do I need to know.
Speaker 2: So when I got there, I still no paper, know nothing.
Speaker 2: And so you were.
Speaker 1: You didn't see an outline nothing. Yeah, and I believe
Speaker 1: in that in those years, nobody saw outlines. No guests
Speaker 1: saw outlines in those years, So nobody ever showed you
Speaker 1: an outline.
Speaker 2: No, nothing, And I couldn't say to David. Hey, listen,
Speaker 2: when you called me and you explained what I was
Speaker 2: going to be doing, I wasn't listening because I was excited.
Speaker 2: You can't say that, yeah, yeah, you know, and Jeff
Speaker 2: was running around. I couldn't say, Jeff, could you tell
Speaker 2: me what I'm doing?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: So you were just lost. I was so lost and
Speaker 2: so scared that the first scene that I did, and
Speaker 2: he's like, all right, you're gonna try We were by
Speaker 2: the pool, Oh that one, okay, And I said you're
Speaker 2: going to try and stop me from using the bathroom.
Speaker 2: And I go, do I succeed?
Speaker 3: Action?
Speaker 2: You know? And I said I'm doing Do I succeed?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: So I didn't know when to stop, how long to
Speaker 2: keep going. And he's like, you know, going to use
Speaker 2: the bathroom and I just was like, you can't use
Speaker 2: the bathroom whatever? And then I didn't know how long
Speaker 2: to go on for right, And I just said when
Speaker 2: he was really pushing me, I think I said, is
Speaker 2: it one or two? Right?
Speaker 3: But it all worked.
Speaker 1: It all, Well, let's hold off on that because we're
Speaker 1: going to get to that scene and we could talk
Speaker 1: about it. It all worked beautifully. Even though you say
Speaker 1: you had no idea what you were doing. None of
Speaker 1: us ever know.
Speaker 2: And you know what, he didn't come off like the
Speaker 2: kind of guy I could say, Hey, Larry, could you
Speaker 2: you know?
Speaker 1: He wasn't approachable, right, Yeah he is, but people are
Speaker 1: scared of him.
Speaker 3: But he's not scary. But I understand, I understand.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: So we start off the episode and we're at Bobo's,
Speaker 1: which is the restaurant that Jeff and Larry are investing
Speaker 1: in with Michael Yorke and Blue DiMaggio and Ted Danson,
Speaker 1: and Larry walks over to the bar and he says
Speaker 1: to the bartender.
Speaker 4: I'll take a seven and seven.
Speaker 2: What are you doing?
Speaker 6: A little plumbing?
Speaker 4: A little plumbing, got the plumb plumb the depths the
Speaker 4: depths of Hell.
Speaker 1: And the bartender is actually Richard Tibbitts, who is our
Speaker 1: electrician and he has been on the show. I think
Speaker 1: he started in season two and he's still now season twelve,
Speaker 1: and he's he's doing a little plumbing behind the bar,
Speaker 1: and Larry goes off into a whole thing about schlepping marble,
Speaker 1: you know, another complete non sequitor, and Timbets is ignoring him,
Speaker 1: and then Hugh Mellon comes in. Who is Tim what's
Speaker 1: the name Tim Kazarinsky? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: remember Tim. Yeah, Tim really great a brov was at
Speaker 1: Second City?
Speaker 2: Was he Brownling? Also?
Speaker 1: He wasn't a groundling? And he invites Larry to a
Speaker 1: pool party. And it turns out that Hugh Mellon, the character,
Speaker 1: who's also an investor I think, is head of a
Speaker 1: publishing company and they publish Bartlet's quotations and Richard Lewis
Speaker 1: wants to get into Bartlett's quotations for the blank from Hell,
Speaker 1: like the Nanny from Hell, the Dinner from Hell, the
Speaker 1: Girl from Hell, because he claims he made that up.
Speaker 2: Do we believe that?
Speaker 1: Do we believe that Richard Lewis came up with from Hell?
Speaker 1: Or was that an old.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, if he claimed it, it must be true.
Speaker 2: I mean I think he thinks it. That's all that matters,
Speaker 2: That's all that mattens.
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny because you know, there's all these
Speaker 1: jokes that always go around and like somebody wrote those
Speaker 1: jokes nine tenths of the time Rodney wrote those jokes.
Speaker 2: Are you saying, Rodney Dangerfield.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like when old jokes used to be going around
Speaker 1: then I would find out Rodney wrote it like originally
Speaker 1: because he was such a great joke writer. So we
Speaker 1: don't know if Lewis actually coined the phrase, but for
Speaker 1: the purposes of this episode, yes, from hell, we'll get
Speaker 1: it to him.
Speaker 3: It's his and a fairy.
Speaker 1: Well maybe it's like it sounds like something he would
Speaker 1: come up with, so he wants Lewis wants to get
Speaker 1: into Bartlet's quotations, and You says he'll see what he
Speaker 1: can do, Hugh mellon, and then he runs into Jeff
Speaker 1: and it turns out Jeff and Susie are back together.
Speaker 1: They were previously split up. Now they're back together, and
Speaker 1: he's bringing Susie to the pool party. And the reason
Speaker 1: they're back together is because Susie's pregnant.
Speaker 3: I have more to say about that later on.
Speaker 1: He's moving back in, but of course Susie got a
Speaker 1: German shepherd, Oscar while Jeff moved out because she wanted
Speaker 1: some protection. And it turns out Jeff is allergic to
Speaker 1: the dog, so he's moving back in. He's allergic to
Speaker 1: the dog. And Larry goes into a whole thing where
Speaker 1: he says to Cheryl, you should let me date. I'd
Speaker 1: come home and I tell her about her, but the
Speaker 1: dates that I had, and we would laugh about it,
Speaker 1: some crazy Larry thing. And Jeff says, what if you're
Speaker 1: going to have sex with the date? And Larry says,
Speaker 1: he'd tells Cheryl and it's just ridiculous.
Speaker 3: Cut to Larry and Cheryl.
Speaker 1: They're at a bakery and it turns out the bakery's
Speaker 1: going out of business, Butterman's Bakery. They lost their lease
Speaker 1: and they buy a sponge cake for the pool party. Now,
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, Sherry, I'm not a fan
Speaker 1: of sponge cake.
Speaker 2: I don't mind it with berries.
Speaker 3: With berries and maybe a little vanilla ice cream.
Speaker 2: Nobody gets hurt. I love it.
Speaker 3: I like a pound cake.
Speaker 2: Yeah, not a sponge That's that's good. But sponge is
Speaker 2: a lot lighter.
Speaker 1: It is a lot lighter. And apparently Buttermans has the
Speaker 1: best sponge cake in town. It's like eating a sponge
Speaker 1: he the larryer. Jeff says that, and then they how
Speaker 1: much is it twelve ninety five? And he says, no,
Speaker 1: wonderre you going out of business? I mean twelve ninety five,
Speaker 1: this is two thousand and two. That's a lot even
Speaker 1: back then. You know, yeah, what's the other sweet lady
Speaker 1: Jeane prices? Yeah, really craziness. So then they're at the
Speaker 1: pool party and Jeff is just shoving the sponge cake
Speaker 1: in his face, just eating it like a delicious sponge
Speaker 1: cake that it is. He asked where you got it,
Speaker 1: and they go into a whole thing. It's a moot
Speaker 1: point because they're going out of business and it's a
Speaker 1: Butterman's and then Larry says, where's the bathroom? And Cheryl says,
Speaker 1: you got to go to the cabana, which I assume
Speaker 1: was like a porta potty.
Speaker 2: No, it was like it's a pool house.
Speaker 1: Oh, it was a pool house. Okay, So why didn't
Speaker 1: he want to use the poolhouse it was? It wasn't
Speaker 1: a porter potty, it was a pool house.
Speaker 2: I think when you know that everybody there is using
Speaker 2: using it. And Larry is very particular about bathroom. He
Speaker 2: had a sense of p entitlement. Yes, he did, absolutely
Speaker 2: p entitlement. And he's not going to the cabana. He's
Speaker 2: going to go into the house.
Speaker 1: And I say, as he's walking away, he thinks the
Speaker 1: rules don't apply to him, which he does, and there
Speaker 1: you are guarding the house. And this is where you're
Speaker 1: saying you had no idea what you were doing, none
Speaker 1: whatsoever the whole show. I you directed this show. I
Speaker 1: didn't notice Larry Charleston. Yeah, and he didn't tell you. No,
Speaker 1: nobody came over to you.
Speaker 3: And explained what we were doing.
Speaker 1: Wow me, Wow, Yeah, that's unusual usually, Well maybe it's
Speaker 1: changed over the years, but I know now if you
Speaker 1: came on the show, you would be pulled aside by
Speaker 1: Jeff Schaeffer, our director and our EP and told exactly
Speaker 1: what he had to tell you.
Speaker 2: Like, I truly was like a babe in the woods,
Speaker 2: and no, everybody was on you know, you guys know
Speaker 2: what you're doing right right, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: You're barely even looking at each other. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: you just know where your mark is and everything. And
Speaker 2: you guys are so used to it and go. And
Speaker 2: I am telling you when I say a flying blind
Speaker 2: you know, and I'm nervous too.
Speaker 1: It kind of works for the character though, didn't it,
Speaker 1: Because the character's crazy.
Speaker 2: Yes, she's not nervous. No, she's too oblivious to be nervous.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's very secure. Actually, she was in her craziness.
Speaker 1: So Larry comes over to you and he's like, you know,
Speaker 1: you're guarding the house, and you say outside sandbox only,
Speaker 1: so like, you know, your improv. You just went into
Speaker 1: improv mode. As far as I could tell from watching it.
Speaker 1: I watched it last night. You were just totally in
Speaker 1: improv mode.
Speaker 2: I say sandbox.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you said outside sandbox only. You're not allowed in here, okay.
Speaker 1: And then Larry starts to beg He starts to beg you,
Speaker 1: and then you say to him, you would love to,
Speaker 1: but you'll get in trouble. So you must have been
Speaker 1: fed that information in some form.
Speaker 2: Let me see. I don't know that I.
Speaker 3: Was okay, but you picked up on it.
Speaker 2: But it was kind of like, what am I going
Speaker 2: to say back to him? I was told not to
Speaker 2: let you learn let him and that's what I went
Speaker 2: off of, you know, And I knew that I would
Speaker 2: get in trouble, right, So that's what I said. But
Speaker 2: he wasn't begging, he was pressuring.
Speaker 1: He was pressuring, yeah, which he could do very very well. Yes,
Speaker 1: And then you say to him just number one, you
Speaker 1: say you got to let him in, but just number.
Speaker 2: One, Yeah, renegotiated.
Speaker 1: Renegotiating, and he goes, noo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what does that mean? I think Boo Boo said,
Speaker 2: I always say poo poo seta, but I think it's
Speaker 2: Spanish for laundry, because you know when you drive by
Speaker 2: and there's a laundromat and it says poop serta.
Speaker 3: I never noticed that. Yeah, I live in New York,
Speaker 3: so I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 3: So you let him in?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: And were you told to finally let him in or
Speaker 3: you just went with the scene.
Speaker 2: I just kind of went with the scene. It's so
Speaker 2: funny because I couldn't because that's what I said to
Speaker 2: him right before he yelled to action. I said, do
Speaker 2: I succeed like in not letting you go in? Like?
Speaker 2: Do I win? Or do you?
Speaker 1: And I just kind of gave it up right so
Speaker 1: instinctively you knew what to do. I guess that's because
Speaker 1: you're damn good. We'll be right back.
Speaker 3: Stay tuned. Okay, we're back.
Speaker 1: So Larry goes to the bathroom and then he comes
Speaker 1: back out and he's talked his way in and then
Speaker 1: they're looking around Larry, Cheryl, Jeff and Susie, and they're
Speaker 1: all looking around and where's everyone else from the restaurant?
Speaker 1: He thought all the other investors were coming, and there's
Speaker 1: nobody there. And then all of a sudden he sees
Speaker 1: Hugh Mellon's kid got out of the pool and the
Speaker 1: nanny or somebody is changing him, or somebody's changing it
Speaker 1: wasn't you, and and he sees the kid has a
Speaker 1: huge penis, and Larry says.
Speaker 4: It's a circus freak show.
Speaker 2: Its circus freak.
Speaker 6: Let's go where are you going?
Speaker 1: It's not funny now, it's interesting because I get asked
Speaker 1: this question a lot in interviews. Is ever a time
Speaker 1: when you look at the outlines and you think he's
Speaker 1: gone too far? And I have to say this was
Speaker 1: one of those times. When I read the outline, I
Speaker 1: was like, okay, talking about what is it four years
Speaker 1: old or something? A four year old's penis size I
Speaker 1: thought was too much, you know, And having watched the
Speaker 1: episode again last night, I think it was fine. But
Speaker 1: at the moment, I remember feeling uncomfortable that he was
Speaker 1: talking about a little boy's penis and the size of it.
Speaker 1: I remember feeling uncomfortable about that, And it's very rare
Speaker 1: that I feel uncomfortable.
Speaker 2: In his show.
Speaker 3: Very rare, but this was one of those moments.
Speaker 2: I really did. I thought it was cute. It's a baby,
Speaker 2: and that's something like, I know my dog has a
Speaker 2: huge penis. What kind of dog? What kind of dog?
Speaker 2: He is just a rescue He's like Scooby Doo.
Speaker 3: Okay, big dog.
Speaker 1: Because I have a dog, and I swear he has
Speaker 1: no penis, right, Jimmy, my husband's here.
Speaker 3: He's got no penis whatsoever?
Speaker 1: I mean, he peeve he's a person else got so okay,
Speaker 1: So we have stepped and I I guess because the
Speaker 1: kid comes up later, I guess he was more like five,
Speaker 1: maybe four or five.
Speaker 3: The kid not two. He was more like four or five.
Speaker 2: I'm thinking like four.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because Larry has that fight with him later on,
Speaker 1: which we'll get to. So we cut to Jeff and
Speaker 1: Richard Lewis walk into a crowded restaurant.
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable stuff. Heeling like soundin's here. Guy deserves to
Speaker 2: make a good living here.
Speaker 4: He's gonna be a great lunch here. I can't even
Speaker 4: talk about you can't say anything.
Speaker 2: Then directed right to me.
Speaker 4: I have a whole whispered lunch.
Speaker 2: It's a whispering It's like the mafia. Thats like, yeah yeah,
Speaker 2: having a general appointment tomorrow.
Speaker 1: And Larry tells Richard Lewis that he spoke to Hugh
Speaker 1: Mellon about the blank from Hell and that Youugh Mellon
Speaker 1: seemed very interested and menable to looking into it, and
Speaker 1: Richard starts to talk about how he's really pissed off
Speaker 1: that he doesn't get the credit for it because it's
Speaker 1: become a phrase in our lexicon, and Larry also says
Speaker 1: that he invited you Mellon to come to Richard's screening
Speaker 1: of his HBO special coming up very shortly, and then
Speaker 1: Larry says to the guy next to.
Speaker 2: Him, ever been getting all this?
Speaker 6: I'm meeting my lunch.
Speaker 2: It's the lunch from hell? What what did you say
Speaker 2: saying this is the lunch from hell?
Speaker 1: Wan?
Speaker 4: Did you hear that expression?
Speaker 2: Girlfriend? You see what I'm there?
Speaker 1: It kills me and Larry just Richard Lewis is like,
Speaker 1: it kills me. It kills me every time everybody's using
Speaker 1: my phrase and I'm not getting credit for it. I
Speaker 1: think he's being a little over said sitive. You know
Speaker 1: if people use phrases. We've all said on TV everybody
Speaker 1: calls somebody a fat fuck? Well that was my phrase. Okay,
Speaker 1: Then we're back at Bobo's. The rest of yes, exactly.
Speaker 1: I mean, I would never even think that I coined
Speaker 1: that phrase. It's a phrase the people you whatever, Treven Vin,
Speaker 1: do you now?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 3: It is?
Speaker 2: Then they're mad a fat fuck. They're back at what
Speaker 2: does it who you say?
Speaker 1: It's as with all things, it's all about content and context.
Speaker 1: Then they're back at Bobo's and they talk about Larry's
Speaker 1: fucking up one chef after the other and they need
Speaker 1: to find a chef, and Larry's like just totally focused.
Speaker 1: They open in two weeks. He's totally focused on my Nutsha.
Speaker 1: You know you have arms on your chair. I want arms.
Speaker 1: And they're all kind of coming down on him, especially Ted,
Speaker 1: and he's like, at least I went to the pool
Speaker 1: party yesterday. Everybody makes excuses why they didn't go to
Speaker 1: the pool party, and then Larry brings up that he
Speaker 1: really thinks that they should have apple sauce as a
Speaker 1: side dish.
Speaker 3: So just again clueless, clueless, clueless.
Speaker 1: They're opening in two weeks and he's focused on Apple
Speaker 1: sauce as a very underrated side dish typical, and he
Speaker 1: wants to encourage people to order apple sauce. And then
Speaker 1: they break up, and Jeff says to lud DiMaggio, did
Speaker 1: you sign Sarah Jessica Parker to a recording contract? It's
Speaker 1: just silliness, just silliness. And Larry goes over to you melon,
Speaker 1: and he very insensitively brings up his son's penis.
Speaker 4: So it is at the polia, I said your son.
Speaker 4: I saw your son at the hole.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, kid's got.
Speaker 4: Some penis on him. It's pretty good. What are you saying,
Speaker 4: your son?
Speaker 2: It's what penis? Wait? What do you say that before?
Speaker 4: Hey, it's a compliment. What's the big deal?
Speaker 2: What's the compliment? I?
Speaker 4: Well, how's it bad?
Speaker 2: How's it bad?
Speaker 4: He's got he's got a nice big penis.
Speaker 2: So what we I'm not talking about your wife's tits.
Speaker 4: I I this is rude. You can say. You can
Speaker 4: say my wife has nice hits as long as it's complimentary.
Speaker 5: Come on, you shew not you ShW okay, phew.
Speaker 1: Shoe. Cut to Larry goes home and there sitting in
Speaker 1: the living room is Cheryl with Martine than Nanny. Now
Speaker 1: were you at this point? Did you know more of
Speaker 1: what was going on?
Speaker 2: I mean I knew from I got fired, that's it, right, Oh,
Speaker 2: and that I got a job at the Looney Tunes.
Speaker 2: I worked at the Looney Tunes. Right.
Speaker 1: You were informed of that that you write previously worked
Speaker 1: at the Looney Tunes, and that was all you knew.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I was so grateful for that little bit
Speaker 2: of an information.
Speaker 1: And imagine our surprise as the audience when we walk
Speaker 1: in and we see you sitting there with Cheryl. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, and you've already established that you're a little nutty,
Speaker 1: not as nutty as you're going to get.
Speaker 2: I bring attention to because I didn't know really what
Speaker 2: to say, something like I brought my suitcase.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it did no wheels, no wheels, right, meaning
Speaker 1: it was a shitty suitcase.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 1: And we find out your name is Martine and that
Speaker 1: you fired you because you let somebody use the bathroom
Speaker 1: and Mark Rita rat it on you, right, And you
Speaker 1: say to Larry, well, of.
Speaker 2: Course I remember what you said about you know that
Speaker 2: you would be responsible if anything happened. So did you.
Speaker 4: Tell him that it was me?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: I don't die. I didn't die. So I remember when
Speaker 2: I let you in, you said there's any problem, I
Speaker 2: think I'll take care of it. So here I am.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to hold you to that because I
Speaker 2: don't have another job.
Speaker 1: No, So when you had the interaction at the bathroom
Speaker 1: you were regarding, he did say to you, Yeah, and
Speaker 1: whatever happens, I'm responsible.
Speaker 3: I'll take full responsibility.
Speaker 2: Right, It's like he got me pregnant exactly, and now
Speaker 2: he's responsible. If I let you something happened, you'll take responsibility.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what is this? I have a note I don't
Speaker 3: dine dime, oh dime.
Speaker 2: Do you know? I can't believe that came back from
Speaker 2: my childhood. I remember hearing my mother say to somebody
Speaker 2: Stevie dimed.
Speaker 3: On dion that what does that mean? Like he told
Speaker 3: on a rat is.
Speaker 2: It's like an old term.
Speaker 1: And I never heard it, really, yeah, it never heard.
Speaker 1: I don't write down what is that.
Speaker 2: In my head, but it just came up from my
Speaker 2: child because I'll never forget my mother's saying, you know,
Speaker 2: And I thought of the context of the sentence, and
Speaker 2: that's when I realized what that meant, and it really
Speaker 2: is an old fashioned kind of a term, and it
Speaker 2: just came out.
Speaker 1: Aren't you continually surprised when you're improving the stuff that
Speaker 1: just comes out of nowhere of your head?
Speaker 2: Yeah, like, what a weird I've never said that before
Speaker 2: in my life, and it just came out. No, I
Speaker 2: don't dime like Dion did to Stevie, you know. I mean,
Speaker 2: but I just said dime and you thought it was
Speaker 2: dying all this time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't.
Speaker 1: I wrote it down. I didn't know what it meant.
Speaker 1: I still didn't know when you said dime. I still didn't.
Speaker 1: But now I know what it means.
Speaker 2: Oh my god. And I don't die either. That's the
Speaker 2: word on the street, Susie, Yeah, Susie, don't die. Susie,
Speaker 2: don't die.
Speaker 1: So basically, you say that you're homeless now you're kicked out.
Speaker 3: You were living there, you were living nanny.
Speaker 1: And you ask Larry if you talk to mister Mellon,
Speaker 1: and of course Larry can't talk to mister Mellan because
Speaker 1: he just had a falling out with mister Mellon about
Speaker 1: the size of his son's penis. And that's when and
Speaker 1: then you say, how about that thing? You say how
Speaker 1: about that thing.
Speaker 2: I said, it's the size of a baby's arm. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because I remember my friend was talking about a crab
Speaker 2: leg and he goes, these crabs were so big. I
Speaker 2: swear one was the size of a baby's arm.
Speaker 3: And that's a reference.
Speaker 2: And then and then it just stuck in my head
Speaker 2: and I go, yeah, it's a size.
Speaker 3: A baby's arm. Oh God, that's such a gross imo.
Speaker 1: I know, so, Larry, you cannot so you're talking about
Speaker 1: the kid's penis, and you'll need a reference from mister Mellon.
Speaker 1: Now you can't get a reference. And he says, where
Speaker 1: did you work before? And that's when you tell him
Speaker 1: you worked at the Looney Tune Lodge. Is that such
Speaker 1: a thing?
Speaker 2: It sounds like it would be. Yeah. But then I
Speaker 2: you know, growing up watching you know the theme song,
Speaker 2: you know the do you sing the theme over and
Speaker 2: over again, and then you're like, it was fun, it
Speaker 2: was fun.
Speaker 1: You're so fucking crazy that it's it's so hilarious, Sherry,
Speaker 1: it's so hilarious.
Speaker 2: And then what's the theme song again?
Speaker 1: And you know what I remember after shooting that episode
Speaker 1: that was in my head weeks annoyingly, so was in
Speaker 1: my head for weeks. And then Larry takes Cheryl aside
Speaker 1: and wants to talk privately, or Cheryl takes Larry's side
Speaker 1: wants to talk privately, and Cheryl says to him, I
Speaker 1: don't want the nanny from Hell staying at my house.
Speaker 1: And Larry says, where'd you hear that? And Cheryl says,
Speaker 1: my dad used it all the time, from Hell for years.
Speaker 2: He used it.
Speaker 3: And she says, well, you got that from Richard Luis.
Speaker 1: She's like, no, we didn't get her father in Tallahassee,
Speaker 1: Florida did not know from Richard Lewis, trust me. So
Speaker 1: we're a little suspicious about the whole from Hell thing
Speaker 1: at this point. And then Cheryl starts talking about how
Speaker 1: crazy you were, Like you were talking about you like
Speaker 1: to pet horses, how will you enjoy a good corn dog?
Speaker 1: How you like to take a bath with your socks on,
Speaker 1: like a total fucking nut. And then you're in the
Speaker 1: background singing the theme Oh my God. And then Jeff says,
Speaker 1: Susie's pregnant, Jeff needs a nanny. It's a win win,
Speaker 1: and we're doing them a favor. He says, he's doing
Speaker 1: us Jeff and Susie a favor by bringing you over
Speaker 1: there and recommending you for the job.
Speaker 3: So next he's in a car with you.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that scene.
Speaker 4: Stop off and get some sponge cake. It's my friend's birthday. Yeah,
Speaker 4: buying him some sponge cake.
Speaker 2: Here. You you like sponge cake? He doesn't. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think. We were in that car for
Speaker 2: a while. Yeah, and I'm really trying to think of,
Speaker 2: you know, like what to talk to him about. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And I could not have been more awkward awkward, And
Speaker 2: I was just like, I think I said something like, so, yeah,
Speaker 2: you have fun, and he looked at me like, yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, and then we just didn't talk the whole
Speaker 2: time in the car. We didn't say two words to
Speaker 2: each other. And I'm thinking, I was just silent. Why
Speaker 2: can't you think of something to say? Yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: I just felt like I didn't.
Speaker 1: Larry is very comfortable in himself in that way that
Speaker 1: he doesn't feel the need to make conversation or make
Speaker 1: small talk, and until you really know that, you could
Speaker 1: feel awkward and uncomfortable with it exactly.
Speaker 2: And I didn't know him. I was so excited. It's
Speaker 2: just like it was when he called me, I really
Speaker 2: was very excited, so bit intimidated, so it just like
Speaker 2: squashed my personality. I couldn't think of anything interesting to say.
Speaker 2: And but once action, once they said action, you were fine. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but I'd like to get to know one to have
Speaker 2: a moment. I wanted to have a moment with him
Speaker 2: and understand. And so, uh, I could see why I
Speaker 2: wasn't asked back.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no, you were terrific.
Speaker 2: I couldn't think of a goddamn thing to say.
Speaker 1: You were not asked back because your character was over.
Speaker 1: You were fantastic in the episodo.
Speaker 2: I know, I just I mean, I'm just joking, but yeah,
Speaker 2: I was intimidated.
Speaker 1: I understand you were intimidated, but luckily it did not
Speaker 1: show through in your performance.
Speaker 3: We'll be right back, Stay tuned, and we're back.
Speaker 1: So then you're in Butterman's and you're taking all the
Speaker 1: free samples and stuffing them into your face.
Speaker 2: That was fun, because that's how I am in real life.
Speaker 3: If there's a free sample, why not, Why would you not?
Speaker 2: I'm in line at Costco for the free sample when
Speaker 2: I know that it's something good and I love. Sometimes
Speaker 2: in my Starbucks down the street. I love a free sample.
Speaker 2: So here I'm truly eating them and swallowing all of
Speaker 2: them all the buttermans something, Oh my god, I'm just
Speaker 2: being committing to my acting.
Speaker 3: No, I just wanted to and who does like a
Speaker 3: free sample?
Speaker 2: That's what I said.
Speaker 3: That's the whole point.
Speaker 2: And then Larry then, oh yeah. He looked at me
Speaker 2: like what are you doing? And I got.
Speaker 1: Three, which is what I would say in real life. Yes,
Speaker 1: And then Larry then purchases they're going out of business.
Speaker 1: They have twelve sponge cakes left, and he purchases them
Speaker 1: all and they don't have boxes, so they wrap them
Speaker 1: up and you know, ran wrap cellphane.
Speaker 3: Thank you cellophane. That's the word I was looking for.
Speaker 1: And then you come to our house so that I
Speaker 1: could meet you and answers the door and I'm like,
Speaker 1: what the fuck is this?
Speaker 2: Hi?
Speaker 4: This is Martine, the nanny I was telling you about
Speaker 4: on the phone.
Speaker 2: Hi.
Speaker 5: Hy, I'm Susie green By. What the fuck is this?
Speaker 5: What are these?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 4: Sponge cakes?
Speaker 2: What do you mean sponge cakes?
Speaker 4: It's a birthday present for Jeff.
Speaker 1: Larry and he's like, you don't understand. They're going out
Speaker 1: of business. It was like, I understand, I don't give
Speaker 1: a shit. I don't care, you know. And I was like,
Speaker 1: he doesn't need to eat. He's a fat fuck, as
Speaker 1: if he's going to explode. And then you say to me,
Speaker 1: congratulations about the baby.
Speaker 3: How did you know?
Speaker 1: Apparently Larry told you because Jeff told him. It's bad luck.
Speaker 1: I'm not even in the first trimester, etc.
Speaker 3: And I'm all flummixed and upset about it.
Speaker 2: And then I'm just like, you know what, come in, darling,
Speaker 2: we'll have a little I'll interview you.
Speaker 3: And I'm a little condescending to you.
Speaker 1: I think, oh, yeah, yeah, but of course I'm happy pants.
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly. I think I'm getting a new job exactly.
Speaker 1: And I'm like telling, like, put the sponge cake in
Speaker 1: the kitchen, and then we cut to I'm walking down
Speaker 1: the outside stairs and I throw all the sponge cakes
Speaker 1: into the garbage, just into the garbage area.
Speaker 3: I just throw them down.
Speaker 2: On the ground, into the garbage area.
Speaker 1: I throw them out, and then we're in the screening
Speaker 1: room for Richard Lewis's taping, and nobody from HBO came,
Speaker 1: and Louis says something like that they want to be
Speaker 1: in their private homes and Larry corrects him.
Speaker 2: He said, you mean the privacy of their homes.
Speaker 1: And Louis is like, you're like the English language cop
Speaker 1: to him, you know, and he really loves to correct
Speaker 1: Lewis by the way, you know their friends for like yeah, yeah, forever.
Speaker 1: And Louis says, Tom, maybe you can intro me to
Speaker 1: the Bartlet's guy, meaning Hugh Mellan, and Larry says, well,
Speaker 1: that's the problem with that, And just at that moment,
Speaker 1: Jeff gets a phone call and he has to leave emergency.
Speaker 1: Your nanny attacked Susie, and Larry says, should I go?
Speaker 1: And Richard says, if you leave me, I'll collapse, and
Speaker 1: they go through a whole thing that how he says
Speaker 1: collapse because he says that the Brooklyn Way collapse instead
Speaker 1: of collapse, and I say collapse too, And then Hugh
Speaker 1: is there with as Lewis calls him the porn baby.
Speaker 1: Lewis refers to Hugh's son as the porn baby, and
Speaker 1: Larry says, what, it's a good sign for the quote
Speaker 1: he came even though he was mad at me. And
Speaker 1: then they're in the screening and the kid is just
Speaker 1: acting out like crazy. He's just the brattiest little fucking kid.
Speaker 1: I hate the show. I want popcorn and Braddy Braddy,
Speaker 1: and Larry starts shushing him and arguing with him.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. But i still feel like
Speaker 2: a wreck of broaders. I'm still screwed.
Speaker 3: Up, you know.
Speaker 1: And then you jumps in and says to Larry, don't
Speaker 1: talk to my kid, and Larry says, get Uncle Milty
Speaker 1: out of here. A lot of people, a lot of
Speaker 1: people might not know what that reference was, Milton Sherry.
Speaker 2: It was. It's very uh, well known, well known that
Speaker 2: Milton Burle has a huge.
Speaker 3: Hat he's had. I assume his penis is dead as well.
Speaker 2: But if that didn't die, everything else, you know, just
Speaker 2: that's still.
Speaker 3: His penis is in the Smithson Um.
Speaker 1: It's been mummified, but it was always you know, it's
Speaker 1: like Milton Burrow, a little waste of a big penis.
Speaker 2: Don't say that to missus Berl shunting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Milton Burle. You know when he did his show,
Speaker 1: was that in the fifties. Yeah, his maiden thing was
Speaker 1: dressing up in drag. Yeah, he was always dressed in
Speaker 1: women's clothes. I actually went to a birthday party. Oh
Speaker 1: tell my friend Camery Man, she goes do Milton Burle's
Speaker 1: birthday party.
Speaker 2: I'm like, who doesn't.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we go how old?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 2: I mean nineties and yeah. And he was sitting at
Speaker 2: a table, and everybody that I grew up with, all
Speaker 2: the comedians that I grew up with, were there, like
Speaker 2: Jan Murray, Oh really, Phyllis Diller and and King Alan
Speaker 2: Alan King and.
Speaker 3: Whoa Jack Carter, Jack Carter, Red Buttons.
Speaker 2: I'm just thinking to myself, Oh my gosh, this is
Speaker 2: everybody that was in my living room in the.
Speaker 3: Seventh everybody we watched Password with.
Speaker 2: So lucky. It was like I just wanted to talk
Speaker 2: to any of them. Red Buttons was really really nice.
Speaker 2: But I made my way over to Milton Burrell and
Speaker 2: he was flanked by men standing up and they're all smiling.
Speaker 2: Not his penis, no, no, no, okay. And they were
Speaker 2: also and what they were were they kept people away
Speaker 2: from him?
Speaker 3: Oh really? They were bodyguards.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know it's like, who do you think
Speaker 2: is gonna.
Speaker 3: At his house? But with all his almost had about people.
Speaker 2: Didn't want they didn't want people to know how bad
Speaker 2: off he was at that point, h So what was
Speaker 2: he senile or I don't think he had all of
Speaker 2: his wits together. You know, I did approach him, and
Speaker 2: you know, I felt like he was there, his heart
Speaker 2: was beating. But I think, you know, sometimes you could
Speaker 2: have doctors around the clock. You sometimes live longer than yeah,
Speaker 2: than want to, you know what I mean. And I
Speaker 2: felt like, all right, uh, he's been around a little
Speaker 2: longer than he'd probably even like.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so but he was still stealing people's jokes.
Speaker 1: Wasn't he known for stealing people's materials?
Speaker 2: I heard that he was a material Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the big schlang and the stealing material and the
Speaker 1: dressing up as a woman.
Speaker 2: Yeah. But I'll tell you something, I'll never forget that
Speaker 2: that was such a form for me. That's like, you
Speaker 2: know everybody that that you as a kid. As a kid,
Speaker 2: did you always want to be a comedian? No? I mean,
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess I was funny, but I never
Speaker 2: saw myself doing stand up, like.
Speaker 3: Be a comedic address.
Speaker 2: I never really thought about that. I mean, it wasn't
Speaker 2: until like I found the groundlings and hiding behind characters
Speaker 2: to me, but to be myself what very very.
Speaker 3: What what inspired you to join the ground Links?
Speaker 2: Uh. I was working at A and M Records and
Speaker 2: someone from the legal department said to me, because everybody said, oh,
Speaker 2: you should just stand up, you should just stand up,
Speaker 2: and I just always was like, yeah, standing us a
Speaker 2: different beast. I know, it's completely different beasts. And then
Speaker 2: a woman came up to me one time I'll never forget.
Speaker 2: Her name was Susan Linner and she said, you show
Speaker 2: the Groundlings and I said, what's the Groundlings? She said,
Speaker 2: it's improv and I swear I said, what's improv? Yeah?
Speaker 2: She goes, it's it's coming. You make up kind of
Speaker 2: as you go along. And I was like, what who
Speaker 2: is this god you speak of? Yeah? So I went
Speaker 2: into the phone book and I went down to the
Speaker 2: Groundlings and I went in and I saw everybody who
Speaker 2: had been there before, and I was like, what is this?
Speaker 2: What is this? You know, I didn't do theater before
Speaker 2: that or anything. So I went and I saw a
Speaker 2: show and I thought to myself, Oh my god, and
Speaker 2: then I immediately signed up for classes.
Speaker 1: So you took classes first? And how long did you
Speaker 1: take classes before she got the company?
Speaker 3: Two years?
Speaker 2: I took classes and you know, a lot of people
Speaker 2: get dropped along the way.
Speaker 3: There's four so there's levels of classes.
Speaker 2: Yes, there's four levels.
Speaker 3: And I just the charel there at the time.
Speaker 2: She was after me and the clouds parted. It was like, oh,
Speaker 2: my gosh, if I could do this, if I ever
Speaker 2: became a groundling. To me, being a grounding was.
Speaker 1: So you had no acting training. No, just this was
Speaker 1: the first thing you ever did.
Speaker 2: I worked at Atium Records, you know, during the day,
Speaker 2: and so when we got into lab, which was writing,
Speaker 2: I didn't have the same schedule as other people because
Speaker 2: I worked during the day a lot of people were
Speaker 2: doing so I wrote it at my job a lot.
Speaker 2: That's where I had a computer, and so I really
Speaker 2: kind of learned to write on my own. And yeah,
Speaker 2: it was the best training, and it was just something
Speaker 2: I just.
Speaker 3: Thought, you just took to it.
Speaker 2: I took to it, and I just loved it so much.
Speaker 2: And it was so funny because everybody had headshots. I
Speaker 2: didn't have a head shot or anything. And yeah, that's
Speaker 2: how I got into it. And then it was like,
Speaker 2: told Sherry, you need to quit your job. Then I
Speaker 2: became a I was in the Sunday company for two years.
Speaker 2: What does that mean. That's where you perform every Sunday
Speaker 2: night and you either get moved up or you get dropped,
Speaker 2: and the decks.
Speaker 3: Kind of brutal. It's very brutal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a really good kind of training ground for SNL. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, which is also pretty bruf. And that's what
Speaker 2: it is. And how long were you in the Groundlings
Speaker 2: before you got SNL? A year and a half. Oh,
Speaker 2: not long at all.
Speaker 1: No, I mean it probably felt like long to you,
Speaker 1: but in the reality it didn't.
Speaker 2: Because I loved it every minute. I would have never
Speaker 2: dreamt that big, Susie. I would have never dreamt that big.
Speaker 2: And when they came and saw me, it was really
Speaker 2: a showcase for Chris Catan, so I only had one
Speaker 2: sketch in and so I thought, well, maybe they'll remember
Speaker 2: me for next time. And then I remember I was
Speaker 2: tempting at Disney Legal because I quit A and M
Speaker 2: right so I could go on auditions. And Lee calls
Speaker 2: me and he's like, hey, Lee.
Speaker 3: Was your manager at the time. Who's my manager now?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 2: Yes? He said, what are you doing next Monday? And
Speaker 2: I'm like, very funny, I'll be at Disney Legal, and
Speaker 2: he goes, no, you're going to be auditioning for Saturday Live.
Speaker 3: We'll be right back. Stay tuned, and we're back.
Speaker 2: So four of us were flown out from the Groundlings. Oh,
Speaker 2: you flew to New York. They flew us to New York. Wow,
Speaker 2: and you got it? Well? Yeah, then then they how
Speaker 2: did they audition?
Speaker 3: What was the audition process?
Speaker 2: It was like, do four or five characters in like
Speaker 2: seven to ten minutes.
Speaker 3: Uh huh so, and you would just do monologues of
Speaker 3: the characters.
Speaker 2: You do a little bit of it, yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: and then some characters you have with other people, right,
Speaker 2: and you have to kind of almost pretend that they're there, right,
Speaker 2: you know. I really didn't know very much, you know.
Speaker 2: But then I went I got the call back. I
Speaker 2: think there was thirty some people that were flown in
Speaker 2: HU and then I think twelve got called back.
Speaker 3: What year is this.
Speaker 2: Ninety five? Nineteen ninety five? Okay? And then after that,
Speaker 2: I remember I didn't hear anything, and then I heard
Speaker 2: Lorne Michaels and Bernie Brilstein are coming to.
Speaker 3: The show to the Groundling.
Speaker 2: Shit, yes, yeah, And so Mindy Sterling, who was a groundling.
Speaker 2: She's amazing. She was a teacher as well. She said
Speaker 2: to me. She goes, I heard Bernie Brilstein. He lean
Speaker 2: over to Lauren and goes, she pops like Gilda. She
Speaker 2: pops like what Gilda? Oh Gilda, uh huh, Well that's
Speaker 2: a cod and I'll never ever forget that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and.
Speaker 2: Meaning Gilda rat dark yes for our listeners. And then
Speaker 2: a few weeks later and I just thought, you know,
Speaker 2: nothing's it's been so much time has gone by. And
Speaker 2: then when I found out I got it, Oh, Lauren
Speaker 2: wants you to meet him? And it was will and
Speaker 2: I and will who peral? Yeah? And so I went.
Speaker 2: We were both in the waiting room and I went
Speaker 2: in and I remember buying address that I really couldn't afford.
Speaker 2: But I'm like, how about look my best And he's like, Harry, hmmm,
Speaker 2: we want to fly to New York. He never said
Speaker 2: you got the job? And I'm like to shop? Yeah,
Speaker 2: what fore?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 2: But then afterwards and I said to Willie goes, what
Speaker 2: did he say? And I go, he just wanted to
Speaker 2: talk more because I didn't want to ruin it for him, right,
Speaker 2: you know, I wanted him to have that you both
Speaker 2: got it at the same time. Yeah, And then we
Speaker 2: went into the parking lot holding hands. And then we
Speaker 2: just screamed in the parking lot and we both went
Speaker 2: to a phone booth. He called his mother. I called
Speaker 2: my father. Yeah, well they can't do that anymore, I know.
Speaker 2: He like, pulled over, supposed to do Yeah, we pulled
Speaker 2: over and went into the phone booth and it was.
Speaker 3: Just so I miss phone booths.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're petri dishes, those two booths. Yeah, I know,
Speaker 2: I don't remember that. I went off on the long tangent.
Speaker 2: It was like, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It was fine, It was all interesting, So we'll probably
Speaker 1: just keep it all in, yes, Lee.
Speaker 6: So I got Cherry an apartment in my old building
Speaker 6: on seventy sixth Street, and she was across the hall
Speaker 6: from my neighbor when I was living then, and I
Speaker 6: said to her, he's the greatest guy you'll ever meet.
Speaker 6: He's a wholesale wine.
Speaker 2: Salesman, Willie Gluxtern, and he was the nicest, nicest.
Speaker 6: Guy in front of me.
Speaker 3: All right, but what why are we having?
Speaker 2: Can I help? Can I help you? He said? I
Speaker 2: remember whenever this guy had sex, everybody in the building
Speaker 2: heard it and told him to shut the hell up,
Speaker 2: and he was screaming. He would scream and this was
Speaker 2: like a very dapper, you know, sophisticated older man. And
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, okay.
Speaker 3: Got Cherry got a little annoyed.
Speaker 6: She's like, wee, that's such a guy thing to say.
Speaker 2: I said, Okay. A few weeks go by and then
Speaker 2: I am literally calling nine one one because someone was screaming,
Speaker 2: scream and here, and then I remember Lee and I'm like, no,
Speaker 2: that can't be him. I mean it was I was
Speaker 2: on the phone and I put the phone down and
Speaker 2: he's right across on it and it was him. And
Speaker 2: I was just kind of like, god, this is like
Speaker 2: a Larry David episode. Yeah, And I called him and
Speaker 2: I go, you're right. He was screaming bloody murder like
Speaker 2: that woman must have been like holy, he.
Speaker 3: Needs to have sex in the woods.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 3: So wait, I'm gonna go back a little bit.
Speaker 1: So yeah, so Larry says to him, get Uncle Milty
Speaker 1: out of here. That's where we ended about the episode.
Speaker 1: And then they're back and forth, You're stupid, No, you're stupid. No,
Speaker 1: you're stupid. And here's Larry fighting with the four year old,
Speaker 1: you know, poopy head and Dodo brain and stupid, stupid, stupid,
Speaker 1: And Larry says he wouldn't be here if you didn't
Speaker 1: fire the nanny. So it all comes back to you,
Speaker 1: and then we go back with fuck you, fuck you,
Speaker 1: fuck you, back and forth, cut to our house. Larry
Speaker 1: comes into our house and he asks how Susie is,
Speaker 1: and Jeff says, gulp and ask her and I'm in
Speaker 1: bed and I'm very this is the demure sweet Susie Green.
Speaker 3: And Larry asked how I am? And I said that
Speaker 3: nanny was a sick. Oh, she was a mental case.
Speaker 3: She was sick.
Speaker 1: And Larry Fane's innocence, like he had no idea you
Speaker 1: were crazy, but of course he knew that nanny was crazy.
Speaker 3: And then I retell the story of what happened.
Speaker 2: And it shot very film noir, film.
Speaker 1: War, and I'll tell the story and then we'll just
Speaker 1: talk about Sammy's watching Looney Tunes and they're playing and
Speaker 1: Martine is freaking out. She hears that music and she
Speaker 1: starts to freak out.

Speaker 5: on my arms.
Speaker 2: You did, because didn't we have these stunt pursuits.
Speaker 1: Yes, there was a stunt double that did the fall
Speaker 1: for me over the rail. And I remember that I
Speaker 1: was upset because she had a much bigger ass than
Speaker 1: I did.
Speaker 3: And I remember.
Speaker 1: Thinking, Oh, everybody's gonna think that's me, and she has
Speaker 1: a bigger ass than me. And also I remember when
Speaker 1: I fell on the sponge cakes. There was Kelly and
Speaker 1: I believe it was Mike. There were two crew guys,
Speaker 1: huge guys, and one had my two legs and one
Speaker 1: had my two arms, and the sponge cakes were on
Speaker 1: like a like a mat or something, and they lifted
Speaker 1: me up and dropped me and we had to do
Speaker 1: it several times.
Speaker 3: They didn't lift me up more than a couple.
Speaker 1: Of feet, but my back got all fucked up from them,
Speaker 1: like the things that we people don't realize how injured
Speaker 1: we get all the time from oh my.
Speaker 2: Gosh, oh my god, even with like a stunt person, right,
Speaker 2: you know. But I remember, I'm thinking, you know, you
Speaker 2: just push and you you pull and push, push, push
Speaker 2: and pull, So you don't know that's what I was doing.
Speaker 2: And I'm so sorry that I hurt your arm. You
Speaker 2: didn't hurt.
Speaker 1: It was afterwards that I saw there was like deep,
Speaker 1: deep fingerprint.
Speaker 3: Marks someone we were finally committed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you were committed, but so was I.
Speaker 1: You know, we were in an altercation and it's like
Speaker 1: it's not something I usually do.
Speaker 3: So it was kind of fun. Yeah, it was kind
Speaker 3: of fun.
Speaker 1: And then the episode ends with my fall broken by
Speaker 1: the sponge cakes. And the funny thing is is that
Speaker 1: apparently I did not lose the baby because the sponge
Speaker 1: cakes saved the baby. But then the baby was never
Speaker 1: mentioned again. I never had the baby, I never gave
Speaker 1: birth to the baby, and the baby was never mentioned again.
Speaker 1: I think we mentioned it once later on in that
Speaker 1: season or the next season where there was some reference
Speaker 1: to the baby because we said, wait a minute, didn't
Speaker 1: I have a baby? And we never mentioned it, But
Speaker 1: then the baby just disappeared.
Speaker 2: She was never there. What late?
Speaker 6: But you had a daughter, Sammy.
Speaker 3: I already had the daughter.
Speaker 1: Oh, you already had, yes, Sammy, who was by the way,
Speaker 1: a son in the first season, but then became a
Speaker 1: daughter because of the doll episode in the second season,
Speaker 1: and was Sammy in the first season, but Sammy could
Speaker 1: be you know, then then she became Samantha. So yes,
Speaker 1: So Sammy was a boy. Now Sammy's a girl. And
Speaker 1: then I was pregnant and then I don't know what you.
Speaker 2: Should have had a boy with a really small penis,
Speaker 2: but big bulls. That's right, that's right, Sherry. What do
Speaker 2: you got going on now? I'm developing a show?
Speaker 3: Oh good?
Speaker 2: Right now? Yeah good, because I never talked about anything until,
Speaker 2: like I know.
Speaker 1: You know her a pooh pooh pooh, as we say
Speaker 1: in the Yiddish. Well, we would all love to see
Speaker 1: you back on the air in your full glory.
Speaker 2: Oh, thank you, Susie.
Speaker 1: And you were fantastic on this episode and it was
Speaker 1: the episode from hell, and you know, sounds like it
Speaker 1: was the episode from hell for you.
Speaker 2: Well, it ended up being wonderful, you know, and I'm
Speaker 2: so grateful because I love the show and to you know,
Speaker 2: be working with all you guys and to be asked
Speaker 2: by Larry it was a big deal for me.
Speaker 1: And sure, and you didn't have to audition, and you know,
Speaker 1: it was a lot of people, well known people who
Speaker 1: still have to audition, and he didn't audition you, which
Speaker 1: is a testament to how.
Speaker 2: See he doesn't he auditions people because it's so much
Speaker 2: of it is improvised.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, and you know this. I mean obviously you
Speaker 3: were groundling.
Speaker 1: You know how to improvise, but there's a lot of
Speaker 1: terrific actors who don't know how to you know, it's
Speaker 1: a completely different That's.
Speaker 2: Why when I would watch the show, I'm thinking, damn,
Speaker 2: everybody's good at this. Like I would see all the
Speaker 2: guests that would come on it.
Speaker 1: I think the reason why a lot of the guests
Speaker 1: are really good is, you know, not for somebody like
Speaker 1: you who's such a proficient improviser. But I think a
Speaker 1: lot of the reasons why so many guests are good
Speaker 1: is because it's the way he lays out the storyline,
Speaker 1: and it's so clear what each scene is about that
Speaker 1: there's not room really to go outside the story. And
Speaker 1: if people come on and they start doing jokey kind
Speaker 1: of stuff, cut immediately, Kyley. He does not want jokey stuff.
Speaker 2: No, no, yeah, because I'm wondering, how long do you
Speaker 2: go on for? Like there's no I didn't know when
Speaker 2: to stop, when to end it. So well, a lot
Speaker 2: of times we don't end it because a lot of
Speaker 2: gold comes after when we just keep on going, going, going,
Speaker 2: and then they edit it. But you don't want to
Speaker 2: annoy him, Like that's what I felt. I thought to myself,
Speaker 2: I have no problem with that. Right. If I did
Speaker 2: it more often, I would have been you know probably,
Speaker 2: But we're on the year twenty three, season twelve, right, yeah, right,
Speaker 2: you know we kind of got a rhythm going. I
Speaker 2: was God, you guys like are just so awesome at it,
Speaker 2: and then it is good because you can overdo and
Speaker 2: then you get the gems.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know, And you know I always tried
Speaker 1: it in different takes because sometimes in certain takes I
Speaker 1: could be so big, you know, I always try to
Speaker 1: do a big take, then a smaller take than a
Speaker 1: medium take and just so they have an editing like
Speaker 1: a lot of different choices because you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: we can all have a tendency to go big because
Speaker 1: it's funny, but sometimes it doesn't work in the scheme
Speaker 1: of the whole exactly, and then.
Speaker 2: You don't have a place to go if you start big, right,
Speaker 2: Like I always thought about that. It's kind of like
Speaker 2: just you know, lay the groundwork right, and then if
Speaker 2: it calls for it, you have a place to go.
Speaker 3: Are you still involved with the Groundlings at all?
Speaker 2: I'm actually doing a show on the twenty third. They're
Speaker 2: having their big anniversary coming up. I forget which one
Speaker 2: it is, but they're bringing Oh, we had Lorain Newman
Speaker 2: on and Lorraine was the founder. It was one of
Speaker 2: the founders. Yeah, I love her so much. Do you
Speaker 2: know When I was in classes, I was in classes
Speaker 2: with her boyfriend all the time, and he said to me, Hey,
Speaker 2: do you want to write together? And I'm like, uh, yeah,
Speaker 2: because I knew he lived with Lorraine and I'd never
Speaker 2: met her. So I went over and she had just
Speaker 2: had Lena, and it's like, do you want to meet Lorraine?
Speaker 2: And I'm like yeah, But I was trying to really
Speaker 2: play cool. And I went up and he brought me
Speaker 2: into the bedroom and she was breastfeeding Lena, and I
Speaker 2: was like, Hi, Hi, And she started coming to the shows.
Speaker 2: She was coming to the shows and she would take
Speaker 2: me aside and she goes, you're gonna make it. Oh,
Speaker 2: that's so sweet. I never forgot that. And when I
Speaker 2: did get s andl she called me and she was
Speaker 2: always very sweet and so supportive. And it was just
Speaker 2: her birthday. She just was I think it was yesterday.
Speaker 2: She's just awesome. Yeah, she really is. She really is. Yeah,
Speaker 2: she's she's a love.
Speaker 3: Well, so are you, Sherry.
