But Larry just 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:39.719 came over the house and or kid just called me 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:42.200 and told me. I mean, Jerry's not that type of guy. 0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:44.719 He's very good in giving, but he was like focused, 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:48.240 like he didn't even talk to me doing the whole thing. Really, 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:52.920 Jason Alexander's like having a bagel and doing his side, 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:58.040 you know. But it was fun. Who done the biggest 0:12:58.040 --> 0:12:59.080 sitcom ever? You know? 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:00.640 Yeah, I'm believable. 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:03.400 You know, being a guest star is not easy, Like 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:05.840 that's a difficult task and you were so good at it, 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:08.600 but you're always walking onto a new set with people 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:12.400 who were have well established relationships and and dropping in. 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:13.559 Did you enjoy it? 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:17.480 If I liked this, you know? I mean, yeah, I 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:19.960 did enjoy it because I was I was always doing 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:22.840 stand up comedy, so for me to do when that, 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:25.560 especially at that time, I had to really like it 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:27.800 because I did have a choice. You know. I was 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:32.040 on the road with Share and when I knew you guys, 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:33.600 what year was a. 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:36.920 It's like ninety six. 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:40.760 I was on the show was for some you know something. 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:42.199 I didn't go around the world with them. I just 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:44.480 in the States. But so I had a really good 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:49.000 job anyway, you know. And then but I loved the 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:52.040 idea of him and the kids together. And I had 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:54.720 seen your show and I thought it was funny, very funny, 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:57.560 and just like it looked like fun I had now 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:00.760 because I remember you as kids. It was so was 0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:03.640 so bizarre, you know, remember the time I was getting 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:08.080 mega and the girls bushed me up and you come in, hey, Dom, 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:10.800 and they looked at me and go, who are you 0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:13.599 but modern? And people have been doing the makeup that 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:15.560 you made such a fuss fuss of them?

And then you were in Big Lebowski. 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:27.520 You have another scene stealing role as the Limos chauffeur. 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:30.280 How do you end up working with the Cohen Brothers 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:32.520 on a movie that would basically go on to define 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:33.080 a generation? 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:36.440 Stand up? I was doing the Carolines in New York 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:43.640 and the younger, kind of geekier guy forget his first name, 0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:46.840 but he saw me do stand up and they just 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:49.760 put him in the script. And the guy said you 0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:51.320 want to do it? I said, yeah, it's great, and 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:53.720 then he goes, but you think it's great? I said, yeah, 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:58.720 I wrote it. I wrote the jokes that they put. 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:01.800 I forget the and about four or five lines. But 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:04.120 they asked me to do you want to drive? They 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:06.320 were going to stunt driver. I take, I'll drive. What 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:09.520 is it five miles in an hour? You know? I 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:12.640 go about ten minutes, they go boom. I hit this 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:15.920 thing that they didn't tell me. I had the Colin brothers. 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:18.320 I said, well, if I killed one of them, I'd 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:20.600 be in trouble. But I killed two of them. I'm done. 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:24.400 Oh my gosh, what did you hit? 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:27.440 I don't know. It's something that decided, you know, the 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:29.760 sound people put and they didn't tell me they put 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:33.600 it and then they put it back. I mean we 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:34.480 really went flying. 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:36.040 Oh my gosh. 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:38.880 So then after that, did you still keep driving or 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:40.120 did they put a stunt driver in? 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:41.080 No? 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:42.080 I was done by then. 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:45.920 Yeah, yeah, you were done. 0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:59.640 You obviously started in stand up. When did your When 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:01.480 did you start your stand up journey? I mean you've 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:02.840 been around for a while. 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:03.840 Yeah. 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:06.200 Well I was in Fiddler on the Roof you probably 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:10.800 remember that in Barry College nineteen two. I just started 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:16.000 with plays in college, and I liked them, you know, 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:18.640 like I said, sometimes when you get to when you 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:21.920 like it's really kind of like a fantasy. I got 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:24.920 this one articon old Lace, remember the play? Oh yeah, 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:28.240 not shiny, No, do we do it the quick way, 0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:31.280 not the Melbourne Way? And I love that character. And 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:35.120 I'm driving to basketball and I heard and it was Bill, 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:38.760 Bill Murray's sister who was a nun at Barry College 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:42.240 in Miami. And I said, Nancy, I got I gotta 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:45.640 have this this part. I love this guy. No, not 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:48.280 to mean that that that voice I never even heard. 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:50.280 It was Peter Laurie was a guy's name. But I 0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:54.080 only saw the Warner Brothers cartoons or something but you know, 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:56.640 so it can come in handy if you enjoy it, 0:16:56.680 --> 0:17:01.280 you know, but I had that advantage. And opening for 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:05.000 the Share, yeah, that was that's a challenge. I mean, 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:08.679 twenty five thousand people and she she put me on 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:10.840 the she put me on the marquee and everything. So 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:13.960 maybe it made it look more professional, you know, because 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:15.840 that was that was a strange joy into. 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:19.760 Great and they're there for music predominantly so and you're 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:22.359 opening with comedy? Are you the only opening act? 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:25.600 Yeah? I did twenty five and then then she did 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:29.399 she an hour. She cheated because she brought it Sonny 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:31.840 and shared videos. 0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:33.199 Smart listen as people who have a live show that 0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:34.160 include some videos. 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:36.160 Piller great. 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:42.720 One time I got Heckler a Heckler, and then I 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:46.440 could listen. You had dumb little she's not here, leave 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:49.160 me alone. I got ten more minutes. I'm not bothering you. 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:51.040 And I said to the girl, do you know what 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:52.960 it's like doing stand up? And you don't know what 0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:55.920 it's like, you don't ignorant it, And they got really 0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:58.600 pissed in me. The next time, I went to Cleveland 0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:04.359 from Akron and they came there like about thirty or 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:06.920 forty people came just to boom me. I loved it. 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:10.120 It was so controversial and she didn't care. She didn't 0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:13.639 even bother with it. There was one joke that she 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:14.119 didn't like. 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:15.400 What was the joke? 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:18.440 Tell us, Okay, you know you don't want to go 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:21.359 see Born with your girlfriend because you never want to 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:23.560 hear the words. Now, that's a cock. 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:27.760 She didn't like that joke. 0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:30.280 She said, what is that's the cock? You can't put 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:31.960 that on the show. I said, I'm sorry, you never 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:35.280 did what I did before. By the way, your grandfather 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:38.840 liked the way your ass was. I was the grandparents 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:45.119 were there. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. 0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:49.200 Don't you ask me to be on this. I really 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:52.239 loved this show. I really did. It was another well 0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:55.000 that was bright spots in my career, my career, my 0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:56.680 career said. 0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:01.439 Well, as I mentioned above all else, you are a 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:04.919 very popular stand up comedian and you were right in 0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:08.239 the mix during an incredible time for comedy. So I 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:10.080 was wondering if you could talk to us a little 0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:13.920 bit about how important being on Carson was for stand 0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:15.200 ups during that time. 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:19.159 It was the Imperor Monitor, it was imagine it's so 0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:22.320 different today.
