1 00:00:13,140 --> 00:00:17,560 This guitar here is the one that my daddy got me when I was 12. This is a 2 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,740 Fender. It's a Stratocaster. Before this, I had a Radio Shack guitar. It was 3 00:00:21,740 --> 00:00:25,040 red one. And I played with that, and I was fine with that. But I was taking 4 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,240 lessons at a place called Ted Herbert's in Manchester, New Hampshire. 5 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:33,840 And I walked by the window, and I saw this one. I was like, holy shit, I would 6 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,240 love a guitar like that. So I told my dad about it. 7 00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:40,860 He said, if I learn Malaguena note for note, he'll get it for me. 8 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,120 I learned it, showed it to him like a year later. He said, okay, you got it. 9 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:46,520 the guitar. Let me tell you something. 10 00:00:46,980 --> 00:00:52,320 You've done us all kind of a good thing and a sad thing. We don't need any more 11 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:57,480 from you than that story about your dad buying you that guitar and you working 12 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:02,040 with it every night. So you and your dad are still on stage. That's true. That's 13 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:02,999 fantastic. 14 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,080 So we're done here. All right, that's a wrap. 15 00:01:05,300 --> 00:01:07,860 We're done with the Adam Sandler thing. Good night, everybody. 16 00:01:08,340 --> 00:01:09,340 Drive safely. 17 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,080 Thank you very much. 18 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:30,620 How are you and hello? 19 00:01:31,020 --> 00:01:32,020 Okay. 20 00:01:34,180 --> 00:01:39,900 Thank you.

I was like, I have to make David happy. I have to make sure he laughs at 44 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:25,860 least once. That's so kind of you to say. 45 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:31,160 So NYU, you went to NYU here. Tell us about, first of all, what did you do 46 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,760 before NYU? What kind of a kid were you? You've got to be smart to get into NYU. 47 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,120 Well, I was in the acting program, so not as smart. 48 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:40,480 Now what does that say about actors? 49 00:03:41,740 --> 00:03:46,660 And well, back then, I really, you want to know the truth about NYU and my 50 00:03:46,660 --> 00:03:48,640 auditioning? I auditioned for NYU. 51 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,120 I knew nothing about, I didn't know what I was going to major in. And I didn't, 52 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,160 I never even thought about it. And then I said, I was filling out applications 53 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:58,280 for like six schools. 54 00:03:58,700 --> 00:04:02,880 And I kept saying major. And I was like, what should I major in? I don't know. 55 00:04:02,940 --> 00:04:06,920 And I asked my brother, what should I major in? He said, maybe you should be 56 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,900 actor. And I said, there's an acting. 57 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,100 Major? He goes, yeah, yeah, some schools have that. It wasn't gigantic like it 58 00:04:13,100 --> 00:04:13,659 is now. 59 00:04:13,660 --> 00:04:17,079 It was just kind of just starting to be. But becoming an actor had not crossed 60 00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:19,360 your mind prior to the suggestion from your brother? 61 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:25,460 I was in a couple of plays as a kid, and I was in West Side Story in the town, 62 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,080 and I kind of enjoyed it. And then, oh, I sang at my sister's wedding. 63 00:04:29,380 --> 00:04:31,900 I sang at my sister's wedding, and I liked that feeling. 64 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,980 Like, I went on stage, I sang, you're 16. 65 00:04:36,090 --> 00:04:37,090 Ringo Starr. 66 00:04:37,130 --> 00:04:40,750 My father, when I got home, was like, hey, that was terrific. 67 00:04:41,010 --> 00:04:41,869 Good job. 68 00:04:41,870 --> 00:04:44,950 And I was like, oh, Daddy liked that. Okay, let me do some more of that. 69 00:04:45,950 --> 00:04:47,370 Oh, Daddy liked that. 70 00:04:48,910 --> 00:04:52,970 What were you like as a college kid in New York City? I mean, that, to me, is 71 00:04:52,970 --> 00:04:58,270 far from the typical college experience as one might get. What was it like for 72 00:04:58,270 --> 00:05:01,430 you? Were you a good student? Were you always funny? Were you late? Were you 73 00:05:01,430 --> 00:05:02,430 drunk? What did you do? 74 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,820 I was pretty good. I wanted to do well. You took acting classes right away? I 75 00:05:07,820 --> 00:05:13,440 studied at Strasburg School here at NYU. Yes, it was awesome, man, and I made a 76 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:14,640 lot of good friends there. 77 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,360 Lee Strasburg, who is a god in the world of lesbian activity? 78 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:24,260 Absolutely, and his whole staff up at the school. I used to walk up to Union 79 00:05:24,260 --> 00:05:28,700 Square Park and go to class, and all the other students, we'd all get to do 80 00:05:28,700 --> 00:05:30,380 scene work together and sense memory. 81 00:05:31,150 --> 00:05:34,090 Stuff like that. And I was learning from scratch. I knew nothing about it. I 82 00:05:34,090 --> 00:05:36,770 probably didn't know who Lee Strasberg was when I was a kid. 83 00:05:37,190 --> 00:05:39,350 This wasn't a thing where I was like... 84 00:05:39,980 --> 00:05:44,900 Like a lot of, I'm sure, students here knew exactly what they were getting 85 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,380 I was kind of like, I guess I'll do that. I guess I'll learn about this. And 86 00:05:48,380 --> 00:05:51,460 then the more I learned, the more excited I got and stuff like that. Did 87 00:05:51,460 --> 00:05:54,280 come before you were a stand -up or the same time? 88 00:05:54,540 --> 00:05:55,540 Stand -up first. 89 00:05:55,620 --> 00:05:58,780 I was a high school kid. I did stand -up. My brother brought me. He was going 90 00:05:58,780 --> 00:05:59,780 Boston University. 91 00:06:00,140 --> 00:06:03,760 And he said there's a comedy night at... 92 00:06:04,110 --> 00:06:08,970 clubs in town you should do that and i said i said yeah yeah yeah good and then 93 00:06:08,970 --> 00:06:13,430 one night we're eating dinner with my family and he says are you ready to do 94 00:06:13,430 --> 00:06:17,570 that stand -up comedy thing and i said yeah when is that he goes tonight i told 95 00:06:17,570 --> 00:06:21,110 you and i said okay he goes do you know what you're going to say i said no no no 96 00:06:21,110 --> 00:06:25,430 i don't and he goes all right well it's five minutes and i said all right i can 97 00:06:25,430 --> 00:06:26,630 do that i'll talk about grandma 98 00:06:27,679 --> 00:06:30,120 And what does that mean? I'll talk about grandma. 99 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,760 Around my house, I would try to sound like my grandmother and make my father 100 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,640 laugh. And so I was like, let me bring that on to the stage. Can we hear a 101 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:39,619 little grandma now? 102 00:06:39,620 --> 00:06:40,620 Oh, yeah. 103 00:06:40,660 --> 00:06:44,960 Truth was, one time my grandma, this is a big story in my house. I was in 104 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:50,380 Florida visiting and I took a shower in the morning and I did my day. And then 105 00:06:50,380 --> 00:06:52,980 that night I was taking another shower. My grandmother said. 106 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:54,980 You take a lot of showers. 107 00:06:55,260 --> 00:06:59,860 And I said, yes, yes. She goes, I think you're masturbating in there. 108 00:07:00,380 --> 00:07:05,160 I swear to God. So I told my... Well, there's your five minutes right there. 109 00:07:05,380 --> 00:07:10,100 I didn't use that, but I should have. But that was a big famous story in my 110 00:07:10,100 --> 00:07:13,020 house. So your grandmother and your parents and your family were all very 111 00:07:13,020 --> 00:07:17,640 supportive of whatever it was that lay ahead of you, lie ahead of you. My 112 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,680 was very supportive. My father was always kind of looking at me like... 113 00:07:20,940 --> 00:07:25,080 You sure about this? But everybody else was just like, yeah, Adam's terrific. 114 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,080 Anyway, getting back to the five minutes of the Boston Comedy Club, do you 115 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:30,080 remember the five minutes? 116 00:07:30,700 --> 00:07:35,420 No, but I do remember I was devastatingly bad, and nobody laughed. 117 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:40,540 And I was five minutes of just silence, and at the very end, I heard a man say, 118 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,920 he's wearing a retainer. 119 00:07:43,780 --> 00:07:49,620 And that was it. I didn't do well, and I went home that night. But when I drove 120 00:07:49,620 --> 00:07:51,880 home that night with my brother, I was like... 121 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:53,280 That was awesome. 122 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,300 He was like, you like that? I said, that was incredible. He goes, you have to 123 00:07:56,300 --> 00:07:57,300 write jokes. 124 00:07:57,380 --> 00:08:01,620 I said, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. Because I saw the other comedians before 125 00:08:01,620 --> 00:08:06,660 were incredible. They were so funny. And Steve Sweeney, I remember, was the 126 00:08:06,660 --> 00:08:09,060 emcee. And he was just crushing. 127 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:14,100 And the audience loved him. By the time I got up there, there were no laughs to 128 00:08:14,100 --> 00:08:14,779 be had. 129 00:08:14,780 --> 00:08:19,500 So now I have this image of you as anybody in this area. 130 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:25,060 goes through, where it's just not coming together. But shortly thereafter, was 131 00:08:25,060 --> 00:08:28,260 it a short period of time when it was starting to be reinforced? 132 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,360 You know what I did, which I recommend to everybody? 133 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,960 I told my friends in my hometown I was going to be huge. 134 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,020 So I put this crazy pressure on myself. 135 00:08:38,380 --> 00:08:40,799 They were all like, what are you doing? I said, I'm going to be a standout. I'm 136 00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:41,799 going to be bigger than Eddie Murphy. 137 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,059 They were like, you are? 138 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,920 I said, I promise you. Were you joking about that? 139 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:53,080 I was just some weirdo. I was just being cocky. I don't know why I did that. I 140 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:57,860 put this thing, and every time I'd call my buddies in New Hampshire, they'd be 141 00:08:57,860 --> 00:09:00,960 like, how's that going? I'd be like, great, great. Even though I was doing 142 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,200 complete shit up there, nobody was laughing. I still wasn't getting my 143 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,480 yet, but I couldn't tell my buddies I sucked yet. So, now, did this motivate 144 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,800 in any way, or is this just a way to shut your pals up? 145 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:17,400 I think it motivated me to not want to fail in front of them and my family and 146 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,880 all that stuff. And I was just, I was determined. I don't even know what I was 147 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:25,480 determined to do. I was just like, got to get this done. I want to get on. I 148 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:30,200 think I even said I got to get on Saturday Night Live when I was like 17. 149 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:31,820 started talking about that to my friend. 150 00:09:32,140 --> 00:09:35,140 So my roommate at NYU was... 151 00:09:35,740 --> 00:09:37,300 great kid, Tim Herlihy. 152 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,460 He was a business major. 153 00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:41,540 Had nothing to do with what I was doing. 154 00:09:41,740 --> 00:09:44,560 He said, what are you majoring in? I said, I'm going to be an actor. I said, 155 00:09:44,580 --> 00:09:46,080 what are you going to do? He goes, I'm going to be rich. 156 00:09:46,620 --> 00:09:50,320 And I go, okay, cool, man.

Good. 178 00:10:52,570 --> 00:10:55,710 And then I read them. I go, okay, I'll do this. I didn't know if they were good 179 00:10:55,710 --> 00:10:57,630 or bad, but I was kind of giggling at it. 180 00:10:57,850 --> 00:10:59,270 And I said, all right, I'll say this. 181 00:10:59,510 --> 00:11:01,950 And I go, you want to be my writer? He goes, yeah, I could do that. 182 00:11:02,270 --> 00:11:04,610 And then that was it. And I said, how do I pay you? 183 00:11:05,050 --> 00:11:09,290 And he said there used to be a place called Astor Riviera down here. They 184 00:11:09,290 --> 00:11:13,390 to have Cozy's and Astor Riviera were like great hamburger places. He goes, if 185 00:11:13,390 --> 00:11:16,930 you get me a hamburger after every show, we'll be even. That's how we did it. 186 00:11:17,030 --> 00:11:21,690 Wow. And that's still his remuneration today, isn't it? He wants more now. 187 00:11:30,010 --> 00:11:31,010 Okay, 188 00:11:32,090 --> 00:11:33,230 I guess I don't know where I'm going. 189 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,800 Hi. I was looking for the green room. Is that right? Right this way. 190 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:45,900 David, I heard that the show last night was fantastic. It was solid. People are 191 00:11:45,900 --> 00:11:48,980 talking about it. I did good. We went into Uncasville. That's all they're 192 00:11:48,980 --> 00:11:49,980 talking about. That's right. 193 00:11:50,300 --> 00:11:51,300 What a spot. 194 00:11:51,370 --> 00:11:54,070 I didn't say Uncasville on stage last night because I was afraid I was going 195 00:11:54,070 --> 00:11:55,250 say it wrong, so I kept saying Connecticut. 196 00:11:55,590 --> 00:11:59,470 How could you say Uncasville incorrectly? I just get, I panic on 197 00:11:59,550 --> 00:12:02,790 I did say Connecticut, and I said Mohegan Sun, and then I was right about 198 00:12:02,790 --> 00:12:05,110 Uncasville, and I was like, I'm going to say it wrong. You got scared. Yeah, 199 00:12:05,130 --> 00:12:08,790 because God forbid you mispronounce Uncasville. Yeah, that could turn the 200 00:12:08,790 --> 00:12:09,790 show. Exactly. 201 00:12:10,050 --> 00:12:11,890 There he is. Get him. Oh, there. 202 00:12:13,930 --> 00:12:17,050 Last time I did a show with Noor. 203 00:12:17,700 --> 00:12:18,820 at the Mohegan. 204 00:12:19,140 --> 00:12:20,580 All of us together. 205 00:12:20,860 --> 00:12:25,280 I'm with Spade tonight, but last night Schneider was here, and we were like, we 206 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,380 were just pointing at different spots where Norm did insane, funny shit. 207 00:12:28,580 --> 00:12:33,660 And this was a big gambling night here at the Mohegan. He woke up the next day 208 00:12:33,660 --> 00:12:37,640 little, what the hell happened? I had a bad night. We were all like, that was 209 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:38,780 funny. He's like, it was? 210 00:12:39,460 --> 00:12:42,180 He had a bad night here at the Mohegan, man. 211 00:12:42,420 --> 00:12:43,860 Yeah. What do you do now? 212 00:12:44,560 --> 00:12:49,220 Usually on a day like this, I go play basketball, which I already did because 213 00:12:49,220 --> 00:12:51,820 didn't want to. Where did you go? I went to some high school around here. What 214 00:12:51,820 --> 00:12:57,120 happens is I take a couple of my buddies here, and then whatever town I'm in, a 215 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,080 couple of either dudes or great women. 216 00:13:00,300 --> 00:13:05,360 A couple of dudes or great women. Great. Like Division I ladies show up and 217 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,140 dominate me. Half court, full court. 218 00:13:07,689 --> 00:13:11,590 Most of the time, three on three. Three on three. Try to get a sweat. Try not to 219 00:13:11,590 --> 00:13:12,429 get hurt. 220 00:13:12,430 --> 00:13:15,850 That's the only instruction to some of the people we play with. Try not to hurt 221 00:13:15,850 --> 00:13:18,470 the fan, man, they say. And then they play light. 222 00:13:18,710 --> 00:13:22,250 And then I say, no, you can do more than that. See, I have so many things I want 223 00:13:22,250 --> 00:13:27,630 to talk to you about. But here's my problem. I thought I knew you because we 224 00:13:27,630 --> 00:13:28,990 have known each other forever. 225 00:13:29,670 --> 00:13:34,250 Yes. My first time on your show, I was 22, I believe. 226 00:13:34,630 --> 00:13:36,250 22, just got out of NYU. 227 00:13:37,290 --> 00:13:41,510 Got to do your show. Will Chamberlain scored 100 points in one basketball 228 00:13:41,670 --> 00:13:45,510 That's a lot of points for one game, isn't it? 100 points for one game. 229 00:13:45,710 --> 00:13:50,930 I'd like to do an impression for you. This is the four other fellows on the 230 00:13:50,930 --> 00:13:52,810 with Wilt during a timeout. 231 00:13:54,690 --> 00:13:57,110 Hey, I'm open, man. 232 00:14:00,610 --> 00:14:01,610 What are you doing? 233 00:14:03,810 --> 00:14:04,810 Pass the ball. 234 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:06,820 I got my family here. 235 00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:10,780 You got like 94 points already. 236 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,440 Ed has two. That's because you bounced it off his head. 237 00:14:15,260 --> 00:14:16,820 Just share the wealth a little. 238 00:14:18,140 --> 00:14:20,560 Here's my impression of the coach on the other team. 239 00:14:21,860 --> 00:14:23,060 Who's covering wealth? 240 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,700 I was going to Philadelphia that night. It was a... 241 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:32,100 Colin Quinn, Judd Apatow, a couple other comedians, we were doing this benefit 242 00:14:32,100 --> 00:14:35,880 in Philly. And I said, I'm doing David Letterman. Everybody couldn't believe 243 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:40,460 I did your show, and it went reasonably well. And I'd never forget. 244 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,220 on the train to Philly that night. I was just sitting there smiling the whole 245 00:14:44,220 --> 00:14:48,240 trip. And then I saw those other comedians. They were like, how did it 246 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,200 like, I think I did good. I think I did. It was like the biggest, biggest thing. 247 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,680 Good for you. Thank you for that. And good for me because I'm flattered by 248 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,840 because it's meaningful to me. Yes. But regardless of your impression, our 249 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,080 impression was a star is born. 250 00:15:01,540 --> 00:15:06,500 Yeah. An unusual star. Well, yes. You always made fun of me in the best way. 251 00:15:06,500 --> 00:15:08,740 no. I'm not making fun of you. That was my honest impression. When you brought 252 00:15:08,740 --> 00:15:11,800 me out there, you'd always say, Something's wrong with his brain. 253 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,400 He's getting brain damage. 254 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,280 I never said that. You can never be certain as to what makes a person tick. 255 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,060 with our first guest, I think it might be discount medication. 256 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,620 Quite frankly, it may not be hooked up right. Albeit a rather odd man. The 257 00:15:25,620 --> 00:15:28,920 talented, the odd, Adam Sandler. Adam? 258 00:15:30,500 --> 00:15:33,820 And my parents would talk about that, and all my friends were like, Letterman 259 00:15:33,820 --> 00:15:36,500 likes you. He likes you because he's making money. It was like the greatest. 260 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:40,320 Yeah. Now, here's my version of this. Yeah. Because we've known each other for 261 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:44,560 so long, and I don't know how many years ago that was, I feel like in show 262 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,060 business, that represents an actual friendship. 263 00:15:47,740 --> 00:15:50,380 To me? Yeah. To me as well, because... 264 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:55,180 periodically when we see one another yes it's a lot of this i love it i love it 265 00:15:55,180 --> 00:15:59,140 yeah absolutely and i think well this cements our actual relationship oh yes 266 00:15:59,140 --> 00:16:02,440 yes imagine when we do this without cameras one day it's gonna be 267 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:07,220 wouldn't even recognize you we don't need to but but guys i was thinking 268 00:16:07,220 --> 00:16:09,720 you know what when you asked if you can show some of my shit 269 00:16:10,430 --> 00:16:13,390 I play that grow old with you at the very end. 270 00:16:13,630 --> 00:16:17,130 Maybe you can shoot that, that kind of shit. Okay. You know, instead of my 271 00:16:17,130 --> 00:16:22,870 my jokes, I curse so much, I don't think you know. I want a counter for this on 272 00:16:22,870 --> 00:16:24,790 screen, the amount of times you say fuck. 273 00:16:25,090 --> 00:16:26,370 Yes. Let's see if we can bust 100. 274 00:16:26,930 --> 00:16:28,010 It's too much, David. 275 00:16:28,610 --> 00:16:31,810 You know your mother wouldn't like it, my mother either. My mother was nothing 276 00:16:31,810 --> 00:16:33,730 but fuck you. Hey, kids, fuck you. 277 00:16:34,590 --> 00:16:36,630 Love you, David. Thank you, Adam. Talk to you in a bit? 278 00:16:37,050 --> 00:16:38,130 Maybe. Okay. 279 00:16:39,580 --> 00:16:45,500 So now, how did the SNL, was that your first regular TV gig, SNL? No, I did a 280 00:16:45,500 --> 00:16:49,320 few things. I did a few little things. I was on the Cosby Show. As what? 281 00:16:50,500 --> 00:16:55,460 While I was going to NYU, I got on the Cosby Show from doing stand -up. He 282 00:16:55,460 --> 00:16:58,820 didn't see me, but his casting agent came down, Barry Moss. 283 00:16:59,550 --> 00:17:03,570 And he thought I was funny, and they snuck me on the show. I played CEO's 284 00:17:03,570 --> 00:17:07,930 friend. My name was Smitty. And by the way, I was at NYU when it happened. 285 00:17:08,170 --> 00:17:14,150 So the Cosby show, when that happened, was the biggest show on air. So it was a 286 00:17:14,150 --> 00:17:15,470 massive thing. 287 00:17:15,710 --> 00:17:19,569 And all the kids came in my dorm room. I lived at Brittany Dorm. 288 00:17:20,069 --> 00:17:21,069 Yeah? 289 00:17:21,210 --> 00:17:22,210 Right on. 290 00:17:22,650 --> 00:17:26,430 Yeah, that was a great one. Great place. I think I was on the sixth floor then, 291 00:17:26,530 --> 00:17:30,250 and everybody came in the room and watched, and they were like, this guy's 292 00:17:30,250 --> 00:17:31,870 the Cosby show. How the hell did that happen? 293 00:17:32,130 --> 00:17:33,130 It was awesome. Yeah. 294 00:17:33,230 --> 00:17:38,830 So where were you when you decided or got the call to go audition for SNL?

So 323 00:19:55,570 --> 00:19:58,610 they said they'd hire me to write for the show. Wow. 324 00:19:59,230 --> 00:20:03,010 And then I was kind of like, I don't know, man. I want to be on the show. And 325 00:20:03,010 --> 00:20:04,910 they were like, shut the fuck up. 326 00:20:05,630 --> 00:20:06,850 Really?

Was this a writer, or 329 00:20:13,690 --> 00:20:17,290 did you start getting on the show writer? I started doing what me, Spade, 330 00:20:17,290 --> 00:20:19,030 Schneider were a little... 331 00:20:19,630 --> 00:20:20,630 writer performance. 332 00:20:20,910 --> 00:20:25,490 So you would write for everybody else and there were so many great guys on the 333 00:20:25,490 --> 00:20:29,670 show. Dana Carvey, Phil Hartman, just... 334 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:34,760 Jan Hooks. So you felt dumb not writing for them. So you'd write skits for them 335 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,780 and then you'd say, okay, there's a delivery guy in the skit, maybe I can be 336 00:20:38,780 --> 00:20:45,340 that guy.

By the way, when you would do Saturday Night Live with Farley, and 364 00:22:12,330 --> 00:22:18,990 you'd hear the stage manager, Joe Dixo, or Bobby Van Ryde, they would be like, 365 00:22:19,210 --> 00:22:23,510 five seconds, meaning, like, in five seconds, you're on the air. 366 00:22:24,060 --> 00:22:28,720 Farley would always be like, oh, let's get him, or something really cool. He'd 367 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,440 be, like, so excited to crush, man. 368 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:38,000 I, oh, baby, you know I'm in love with 369 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,120 you. 370 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:42,920 Yeah. 371 00:22:44,220 --> 00:22:48,300 What about a song like that for the elevator? 372 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,640 That could be funny. We'll figure it out. 373 00:22:56,490 --> 00:22:57,490 Oh, my God. 374 00:22:57,930 --> 00:23:01,350 Don't look behind you. David. Look at that. That's horrible. 375 00:23:01,630 --> 00:23:04,590 It is the worst part of the show, looking back and seeing yourself up 376 00:23:04,590 --> 00:23:05,089 go, no. 377 00:23:05,090 --> 00:23:06,710 Yeah, but you look good. You sure? 378 00:23:06,950 --> 00:23:10,350 Yeah, I just look like you're delivering organs. 379 00:23:11,310 --> 00:23:13,170 What are you doing? This is your sound check? 380 00:23:13,450 --> 00:23:18,110 I get the sound. Yeah, write down the list of jokies, tunes. 381 00:23:19,039 --> 00:23:22,880 We reorganized it. It's my second night here, so we try to swap it up just in 382 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,900 case there's a repeat. Oh, good idea. Yeah, I never had two shows. I barely 383 00:23:26,900 --> 00:23:27,839 one show. 384 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,180 But you got a show to do in hours, a couple hours. Yeah. 385 00:23:31,660 --> 00:23:36,960 Whenever I would do it, certainly not on this scale, at 2 in the afternoon, like 386 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:41,120 clockwork, I would be full of apprehension. My stomach would start 387 00:23:41,360 --> 00:23:44,640 That doesn't happen to you? No, that doesn't happen right now. 388 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,460 I still can get, if I'm not ready. 389 00:23:48,220 --> 00:23:53,280 And I'm not prepared. I still go up shook up. And I have Dan here. He's my 390 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:54,279 player. Hi, Dan. 391 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:55,280 Heard good things. 392 00:23:56,260 --> 00:24:00,420 I have him on stage, so it's kind of a nice thing if I eat it that I can at 393 00:24:00,420 --> 00:24:02,940 least look back at somebody and be like, like you and Paul. 394 00:24:03,180 --> 00:24:06,000 Yeah. You and Paul had a secret. Paul was the best for me. Wasn't that the 395 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,560 greatest? He was absolutely the best. Yeah. Like knowing somebody at a wedding 396 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:10,560 you don't belong at. 397 00:24:10,660 --> 00:24:12,180 That's right. Oh, it's Larry. 398 00:24:12,380 --> 00:24:16,080 Larry. No, I don't know him either. He and I had the same sensory system. 399 00:24:16,500 --> 00:24:17,500 If it ain't working. 400 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:18,980 Paul knows it ain't working. 401 00:24:19,180 --> 00:24:23,040 I remember when I would watch you when the show first started, me and my 402 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,860 used to watch you. We would love when you didn't get a laugh. You would mock 403 00:24:26,860 --> 00:24:28,640 audience or mock yourself. 404 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:30,020 That was our favorite. 405 00:24:30,260 --> 00:24:36,460 I know, but if you're like me, and I pray to God you're not, it kills you. I 406 00:24:36,460 --> 00:24:39,300 would be so mortified and embarrassed. 407 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,960 Honestly, I couldn't leave the building until it was dark outside. 408 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:43,779 Oh, yeah. 409 00:24:43,780 --> 00:24:46,000 But you're not like that. When I was young. 410 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,720 I was so insane, David. I started when I was 17. 411 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:55,120 I literally ate it every night. Every comedian I know would go, oh, man, I saw 412 00:24:55,120 --> 00:24:55,839 you eat. 413 00:24:55,840 --> 00:25:00,440 He did so hard at such and such. And I didn't give a shit. I was just going, I 414 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:04,480 had this weird cocky, I was just like, Jesus, these people. They're not 415 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,800 understanding what I'm giving them. What's the matter with these guys? But 416 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,160 need that perspective. 417 00:25:09,460 --> 00:25:15,280 Because if you got beaten down by them, if they win each and every night, you go 418 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:19,980 home. But the fact that, no, no, it's not me. It's you. And now, look at you. 419 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:21,960 You've won this. You have proven. 420 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:27,140 It is them, and now they've come around. They've come around, most of them. 421 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,660 There's still some that leave going, what the fuck was that? 422 00:25:30,220 --> 00:25:35,980 I remember my dad, oh my God. 423 00:25:36,360 --> 00:25:42,200 I did this one show in Boston, and my dad and brother came to see it, and I 424 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,340 it so hard in front of my dad, and I hated that. 425 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,200 And the emcee, I don't know who it was, I don't remember. 426 00:25:50,010 --> 00:25:55,410 Came on after, and I walked off into the humiliation of eating it. And I was 427 00:25:55,410 --> 00:25:57,570 halfway out, and he says, Adam, Adam. 428 00:25:57,910 --> 00:25:59,250 I'm like, Adam, is that me? 429 00:25:59,470 --> 00:26:04,990 I turn around, the emcee goes, and I was 17. He says, were you the class clown 430 00:26:04,990 --> 00:26:08,570 in school? And I go, yeah. And he goes, stick with that. 431 00:26:08,850 --> 00:26:09,990 And the place goes, oh. 432 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,960 And I was like, oh, shit, man, that hurt in front of Pop. There's no more period 433 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,260 of vulnerability than those few moments. 434 00:26:18,500 --> 00:26:22,540 Either you've killed or you've not killed, but you are just raw. 435 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,520 Yeah, yeah, yeah, man, it's a toughie. You don't even know. Like, I do this, 436 00:26:26,580 --> 00:26:30,620 David. I drive in my car, and I'll be feeling good, listening to a good song. 437 00:26:31,020 --> 00:26:36,540 As I'm driving, maybe 6 o 'clock, the show's at 8 o 'clock that night, I go, 438 00:26:36,540 --> 00:26:37,540 to keep this feeling. 439 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,060 What are you feeling right now? Can you do that? And then literally 7 o 'clock 440 00:26:41,060 --> 00:26:42,280 comes on, and I'm like, you fuck. 441 00:26:42,540 --> 00:26:44,160 I just can't keep it up. 442 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:50,940 Exactly. But again, any endeavor, a person in any field goes through that. 443 00:26:50,940 --> 00:26:53,620 just not you, and to a lesser extent, not me, certainly. 444 00:26:53,820 --> 00:26:54,820 But God Almighty. 445 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,140 So the Happy Gilmore 2. 446 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:07,500 comes blowing into Netflix, and it's the most successful streaming premiere 447 00:27:07,500 --> 00:27:11,180 of anything in the history of streaming anything. 448 00:27:35,090 --> 00:27:41,330 And again, 30 years apart, nobody does that. That was a good one. Nobody does 449 00:27:41,330 --> 00:27:46,110 that. If they were going to make a Gone with the Wind again, it would not come 450 00:27:46,110 --> 00:27:50,230 close to Happy Gilmore 2. Can I tell you a quick thought? I know this is off. 451 00:27:50,610 --> 00:27:54,590 Gone with the Wind, I saw with my mother when I was a little kid. 452 00:27:54,850 --> 00:27:57,770 And she said, ooh, that Clark Gable is handsome. 453 00:27:58,250 --> 00:28:01,550 And I swear to God, I went home that night and told my dad. I was like, you 454 00:28:01,550 --> 00:28:02,550 to watch out for this. 455 00:28:03,210 --> 00:28:07,690 Clark Gable guy, man. I don't trust mom. I'm telling you, he's got a mustache. 456 00:28:07,770 --> 00:28:08,810 There's something going on. 457 00:28:10,170 --> 00:28:15,110 You are a global feature in the world of film, for God's sake. Somehow that 458 00:28:15,110 --> 00:28:16,250 happens. 62 films. 459 00:28:16,890 --> 00:28:21,610 Pretty much the number I heard. That's a lot. Yeah. Did I mention the gross that 460 00:28:21,610 --> 00:28:22,610 these films represent? 461 00:28:22,770 --> 00:28:27,350 I remember on the old show many years ago, introducing you, having produced 462 00:28:27,350 --> 00:28:29,770 revenue from these films at over a billion. 463 00:28:29,970 --> 00:28:33,370 Yes, yes, yes. So now I would think it's multiple billion. Is that fair? 464 00:28:34,210 --> 00:28:35,450 People have made cash. 465 00:28:35,670 --> 00:28:40,650 Yes. But now it seems like movies are all about, we're living in outer space, 466 00:28:40,710 --> 00:28:41,710 saving the galaxy. 467 00:28:42,090 --> 00:28:45,390 Yes. But your films, you don't do films like that. 468 00:28:45,710 --> 00:28:50,150 Well, now I've been doing so many with Netflix, and when I was making movies 469 00:28:50,150 --> 00:28:54,210 companies that put it in the theaters, and then you would judge how much money 470 00:28:54,210 --> 00:28:54,949 you made. 471 00:28:54,950 --> 00:28:55,950 Netflix, 472 00:28:56,250 --> 00:29:00,190 a little more relaxing. You don't have to hear about the numbers quite as much. 473 00:29:00,330 --> 00:29:05,850 You just try to make... But the thing with Happy Gilmore 2, you still can't 474 00:29:05,850 --> 00:29:10,070 explain that. That's remarkable, because you've spanned in the success when the 475 00:29:10,070 --> 00:29:11,650 first one came out. Yeah. 476 00:29:11,980 --> 00:29:18,160 So we expect that. But now 30 years later, the 2 comes out, and it 477 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:19,480 blows everything apart. 478 00:29:19,700 --> 00:29:22,480 It was. So that can only speak to your popularity. 479 00:29:22,900 --> 00:29:26,620 I don't know. Maybe it made people remember back in the day when we were 480 00:29:26,620 --> 00:29:32,080 young, and a lot of parents tell me they would show their kids Happy Gilmore, 481 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,980 and somehow it all connected nice, and it was awesome. 482 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,960 But let's talk about Punch Drunk Love. Yes. 483 00:29:39,220 --> 00:29:43,260 Was that the first of the more, how do you want to characterize that movie? 484 00:29:43,260 --> 00:29:44,680 Yeah, the different style movie. 485 00:29:45,140 --> 00:29:48,640 Yes, that was Paul Thomas Anderson. 486 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,840 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's one of the sweetest guys and the funniest guys. And 487 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,620 got a call from Tom Cruise. 488 00:29:55,640 --> 00:30:00,360 I pick up the phone and I met Tom before. And he goes, hey, hey, my 489 00:30:01,460 --> 00:30:05,060 writing a movie for you. I said, oh, that's cool. He goes, you want to talk 490 00:30:05,060 --> 00:30:06,780 him? I said, when? 491 00:30:07,300 --> 00:30:09,040 He goes, right now. Let me put him on. 492 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,740 And then I go, okay. Because they were doing a movie together. 493 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,740 And I got on the phone and Paul was like, talking to... 494 00:30:17,239 --> 00:30:20,140 about Billy Madison and all my other stuff. 495 00:30:20,420 --> 00:30:24,500 And he said, I'm writing a movie right now for you. Do you have any interest in 496 00:30:24,500 --> 00:30:25,960 doing it? And I didn't know Paul. 497 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,940 I didn't know his work. And I said, well, yeah, well, you send me that 498 00:30:29,940 --> 00:30:34,200 and we'll go from there. And then he came to my house and he handed me the 499 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:38,520 script. And he had it like, it was like a present. 500 00:30:38,860 --> 00:30:40,520 And I said, all right, man. 501 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,120 Okay, well, you read that and tell me how you feel. 502 00:30:44,340 --> 00:30:48,940 And then I read it, and I remember going, holy shit, this guy's cool. 503 00:30:49,140 --> 00:30:50,900 He gave me a doozy. 504 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,180 I have a love in my life. 505 00:30:54,180 --> 00:30:57,280 It makes me stronger than anything you can imagine. 506 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,960 I would say that's that mattress man. 507 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,400 And then, you folks seen a movie called Uncut Gems? 508 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:07,680 Yes. 509 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:09,520 Thank you. 510 00:31:10,060 --> 00:31:11,800 That was those tafty boys. 511 00:31:13,020 --> 00:31:17,580 Wow. I don't understand how you could do that. I mean, I loved it that the 512 00:31:17,580 --> 00:31:20,520 character leaves with his teeth. I thought that was fantastic. Oh, yeah, 513 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,680 was cool. So what are those? Those aren't your teeth, are they? No, no, no, 514 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,260 no, no, no. That was cool, man, the tafty. 515 00:31:26,620 --> 00:31:32,160 brothers the safety brothers yeah they they josh and benny they just and and uh 516 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:37,220 the ronnie who writes with them uh and and edits with them they just had an 517 00:31:37,220 --> 00:31:41,420 of what i should look like and they they sprung the teeth on me kind of late in 518 00:31:41,420 --> 00:31:45,960 the in the game and they were like Stuffed him in my mouth. Right. But how 519 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,700 you do this? I mean, you came to NYU here and studied acting. 520 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:54,160 Yeah. But I'm under the impression what you did in that film can't be taught. 521 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:59,360 Here's the character. Can you do this? And not only could you do it, wow. 522 00:31:59,580 --> 00:32:00,820 I mean, really wow. 523 00:32:01,140 --> 00:32:04,340 They think on game seven you're not going to get fucking 18 points. 524 00:32:04,890 --> 00:32:07,590 They don't think you're going to get eight rebounds? These guys don't know 525 00:32:07,590 --> 00:32:10,350 about ball. What the fuck are they doing? Doesn't that make you want to 526 00:32:10,350 --> 00:32:13,690 kill them? Doesn't that make you want to say, fuck you for doubting me? 527 00:32:14,050 --> 00:32:17,730 Doesn't that make you want to step on fucking Elton Brand's fucking neck? 528 00:32:18,610 --> 00:32:22,410 Come on, KG. This is no different than that. This is me. 529 00:32:22,870 --> 00:32:27,610 All right? I'm not a fucking athlete. This is my fucking way. This is how I 530 00:32:27,910 --> 00:32:31,770 I felt like when I was going to NYU, I learned a lot. 531 00:32:32,090 --> 00:32:37,630 I watched other people. And did it apply to roles like Uncut Gems and Punch 532 00:32:37,630 --> 00:32:38,389 Drunk Love? 533 00:32:38,390 --> 00:32:43,490 Yes, yes, yes. I think of that stuff. I think of the old days and the training, 534 00:32:43,570 --> 00:32:48,210 and do I still go and tune it up? No, I don't. It probably would be smart. 535 00:32:48,510 --> 00:32:55,290 But I go off of what I learn. It becomes part of you, you know, the Stanislavski 536 00:32:55,290 --> 00:32:56,290 stuff. 537 00:32:56,390 --> 00:33:01,150 Do I sit in my trailer and think, okay, let me just... 538 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:06,240 do exactly what my teacher told me to do. It probably doesn't happen, but it 539 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,420 get deep in my brain. 540 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:14,100 When they came to you with this script, you said, oh boy, let me edit? No! 541 00:33:14,700 --> 00:33:16,280 It had to be intimidating. 542 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:21,520 By the way, my wife, Jackie, I read it and I was like, oh shit, this thing's 543 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,740 cool. I don't know, man. I don't know if people want to see me like this, blah, 544 00:33:24,860 --> 00:33:26,880 blah, blah. And then Jackie was like... 545 00:33:27,390 --> 00:33:28,850 it's time to do something cool. 546 00:33:29,130 --> 00:33:33,090 Just do something different, man, and you'll have fun, and I think you'd be 547 00:33:33,090 --> 00:33:38,210 at this. And when I was at NYU, what I was thinking was, this is the truth, I 548 00:33:38,210 --> 00:33:42,590 didn't just want to be a comedian. I was like, I would go on stage, we'd do 549 00:33:42,590 --> 00:33:46,910 scene work, I would do stuff that Pacino did, I would do stuff that James Caan 550 00:33:46,910 --> 00:33:50,690 did, and I would be like, I kind of want to be like that. I want to get to do it 551 00:33:50,690 --> 00:33:52,370 all. So here's what I'm thinking. 552 00:33:54,390 --> 00:33:55,390 Uncut Gems. 553 00:33:55,530 --> 00:33:57,290 No Academy Award nomination. 554 00:33:57,610 --> 00:33:59,450 That, my friend, is bullshit. 555 00:34:00,270 --> 00:34:05,190 Thank you. Thank you. You guys, I appreciate it. 556 00:34:05,970 --> 00:34:09,550 You know how every year at the Academy Awards they have that thing where all of 557 00:34:09,550 --> 00:34:12,510 the people who have died in the year, they have a big memorial and everybody 558 00:34:12,510 --> 00:34:14,330 looks forward to it and it's a loving tribute. 559 00:34:14,550 --> 00:34:17,270 They ought to include a category of mistakes. 560 00:34:18,330 --> 00:34:19,690 They just say, you know what? 561 00:34:19,909 --> 00:34:23,190 We didn't nominate him. He should have won. He should have been nominated. So 562 00:34:23,190 --> 00:34:24,389 we're presenting you... 563 00:34:24,590 --> 00:34:31,150 Not posthumously, but... I would take that. You know, to give them a chance to 564 00:34:31,150 --> 00:34:36,870 correct mistakes in their... I mean, that says to me that nobody watched the 565 00:34:36,870 --> 00:34:40,610 movie, because you watched that movie, clean sweep, we're not even having a 566 00:34:40,610 --> 00:34:45,370 show. That's, I mean, thank you, thank you, thank you. I got more than enough 567 00:34:45,370 --> 00:34:49,840 love. For that movie, I had no... Would you do another something like that? Yes, 568 00:34:49,860 --> 00:34:54,000 yes, yes. We're talking to those boys. We talk about doing stuff all the time. 569 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:54,498 The Daffy Brothers? 570 00:34:54,500 --> 00:34:55,299 Yes, yes. 571 00:34:55,300 --> 00:34:56,300 Everybody did. 572 00:34:56,460 --> 00:35:02,160 Look, Noah Baumbach wrote J. Kelly, directed. I was in the Meyerowitz story 573 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,260 Noah. He's one of the greatest of all time, this kid. 574 00:35:05,540 --> 00:35:10,660 He's an amazing writer, amazing director. I'm getting to be around 575 00:35:10,660 --> 00:35:11,660 cool stuff. 576 00:35:11,820 --> 00:35:13,240 Now let's talk about J. Kelly. 577 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:17,210 You're in there with Pretty Boy. What's his name? george the clune dog a nice 578 00:35:17,210 --> 00:35:22,650 man very smart very nice very giving handsome he's good looking so handsome 579 00:35:22,650 --> 00:35:27,070 knockout a knockout well what was it like working with cluny that must have 580 00:35:27,070 --> 00:35:33,790 weird right fun as hell really a very i mean we shot in england and we were in 581 00:35:33,790 --> 00:35:37,050 italy yeah in europe cluny's just 582 00:35:37,770 --> 00:35:41,210 knows everything. He's such a giving guy. He took care of my family. 583 00:35:41,990 --> 00:35:45,170 What does that mean, took care of your family? He's just so nice. His birthday 584 00:35:45,170 --> 00:35:47,730 is the same birthday as my daughter, Sadie. Oh, that's nice. 585 00:35:48,310 --> 00:35:53,510 That day, everybody wanted to make it about George, and George was like... 586 00:35:53,980 --> 00:35:56,940 The whole day was about 80, and we had the best dinner together. 587 00:35:57,740 --> 00:36:01,320 But he gets quite a lot of close -ups, and I know for a fact looking at those 588 00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,180 close -ups that he's at work. He's at work. 589 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:04,299 No, no. 590 00:36:04,300 --> 00:36:07,240 No, no. You can tell looking at the guy. He's not as handsome as he used to be. 591 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:09,560 Up close, he's not that handsome. 592 00:36:09,980 --> 00:36:12,320 I'm telling you, he's better in the afternoon. 593 00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:13,600 No, I'm just kidding. 594 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:18,700 I'm just kidding. No, he was phenomenal. He's an amazing, giving guy, great 595 00:36:18,700 --> 00:36:19,700 athlete. 596 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,200 I think he's awesome in J. Kelly. 597 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,620 Can't wait for you to see the movie. I think he's heartbreaking in the movie. I 598 00:36:25,620 --> 00:36:26,158 love it. 599 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:27,620 I'm suddenly remembering things. 600 00:36:28,100 --> 00:36:29,100 What is that? 601 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:30,520 Memory? Well, yes. 602 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:36,120 Maybe your memory is trying to tell you something about your present. 603 00:36:36,420 --> 00:36:37,319 Like what? 604 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:38,680 I don't know. I'm tired. 605 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,580 I just had a fight with Daisy. I wish I was there to help you. 606 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:43,100 What? What? 607 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,160 Nothing. I'm just tired. 608 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:51,040 I just wish I had more time with her. It's always at work. Well, I always 609 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:54,880 negotiated flights on the weekend for you to go home and see the kids. It's 610 00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:59,060 difficult. What are you getting at? I'm just saying Ben, for instance, flies 611 00:36:59,060 --> 00:37:02,700 home every weekend from the show to see his family. Ben. Ben Alcott. 612 00:37:03,180 --> 00:37:06,440 It's hard not to feel like you. I'm just saying these are the decisions we make. 613 00:37:06,620 --> 00:37:11,480 You play his agent, his manager or something, and you're tremendous in the 614 00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:12,680 Thank you. 615 00:37:12,970 --> 00:37:17,410 So now we hear about, oh, there could be award conversation. 616 00:37:17,970 --> 00:37:21,710 There could be Academy Award nomination consideration. 617 00:37:21,930 --> 00:37:26,570 And so I just think, okay, how does that make you feel? 618 00:37:28,100 --> 00:37:32,280 Similar to what you're saying. You just go, okay. You hear stuff like that and 619 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,780 you say, okay, what am I supposed to do? 620 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,340 I'm aware of the fact that when you were making a lot of films that you would 621 00:37:38,340 --> 00:37:40,540 take your family with you. Is that true? Yes. 622 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:45,060 So it would become a family activity so you're not away from home for three 623 00:37:45,060 --> 00:37:46,460 months, four months, whatever. Exactly. 624 00:37:46,740 --> 00:37:49,060 You had a bunch of other little kids around. 625 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,940 My friends all had kids around at the same time. 626 00:37:52,910 --> 00:37:58,030 they kind of grew up together on set and stuff, and now my kids, they know a lot 627 00:37:58,030 --> 00:37:59,670 about making movies and stuff. It's great. 628 00:37:59,990 --> 00:38:03,670 And I think I saw one of them in the Jay Kelly film. Yes, that's my daughter 629 00:38:03,670 --> 00:38:06,650 Sadie. Is she the older of the two? She's the older. 630 00:38:07,430 --> 00:38:11,190 No, but they've been in other films. They've been in a bunch, and now they're 631 00:38:11,190 --> 00:38:12,270 doing stuff they just didn't. 632 00:38:12,570 --> 00:38:16,870 They did two different movies this summer. I would just say that, and maybe 633 00:38:16,870 --> 00:38:20,490 have this in common, I didn't know anything about having a child. No one 634 00:38:20,810 --> 00:38:23,850 It doesn't make any difference how much you read, how much you tell the classes. 635 00:38:23,970 --> 00:38:26,010 It doesn't make any difference. You still don't know anything. 636 00:38:26,410 --> 00:38:32,530 So the paramount gesture for me was to try and make my son laugh. From the time 637 00:38:32,530 --> 00:38:34,710 they start smiling, which is... 638 00:38:35,020 --> 00:38:36,080 three months or so, I don't know. 639 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:41,520 Today, I try to make him laugh. And if I can't make him laugh, I'm wracked with 640 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:42,980 failure and I stay in the basement. 641 00:38:43,340 --> 00:38:47,160 So I don't think that's good parenting. But did you have any of that in you? 642 00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:53,240 Sure. You're happy when they're happy. So to get them to laugh, it's the 643 00:38:53,240 --> 00:38:57,620 greatest feeling. And when they got older, they used to laugh easier. Now 644 00:38:57,620 --> 00:38:58,720 get judged a little bit. 645 00:38:59,580 --> 00:39:03,420 I do hear this, ooh, don't say that. Yeah, no, that's not good. Don't say 646 00:39:04,010 --> 00:39:06,330 Your wife, I didn't realize this is an actress. 647 00:39:06,590 --> 00:39:10,910 Yes. Where did this happen? I mean, where did you meet? We met, me and 648 00:39:10,910 --> 00:39:14,110 were at a party, a friend of ours party. I was sitting down. 649 00:39:14,770 --> 00:39:19,270 Jackie and some of her friends were introduced. We all met each other, my 650 00:39:19,270 --> 00:39:20,410 friends and Jackie's friends. 651 00:39:20,630 --> 00:39:25,150 And somehow we sat next to each other. And like you get when you immediately 652 00:39:25,150 --> 00:39:28,350 fall in love, we did that thing where we were staring at each other. Wow. 653 00:39:28,550 --> 00:39:31,970 And stopped staring at each other and we were being sweet with each other. And 654 00:39:31,970 --> 00:39:32,970 then Jackie... 655 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:37,620 told me she's going the next day to visit her grandma in Florida, and I was 656 00:39:37,620 --> 00:39:39,260 like, ooh, that made me fall in love even more. 657 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:43,000 That's when you slipped in the grandma story about masturbating in the shower. 658 00:39:43,300 --> 00:39:44,700 I said, my grandmother. 659 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,280 I know, but grandmothers are grandmothers. 660 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:50,780 I hope she doesn't say this. 661 00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:56,580 But, no, so anyways, we kind of, we continued our flirting on the phone, and 662 00:39:56,580 --> 00:40:02,020 then she came back, and honestly, we just jumped right in, right? Maybe 28 663 00:40:02,020 --> 00:40:03,020 ago. 664 00:40:07,279 --> 00:40:11,320 So why did you want to do stand -up again? Because when I was doing grown 665 00:40:11,380 --> 00:40:16,460 Chris Rock, Kevin James, David Spade, Rob Shiner, they kept coming back after 666 00:40:16,460 --> 00:40:20,820 the weekend talking about their gigs. I was like... Wow, you still do that, huh, 667 00:40:20,860 --> 00:40:22,480 man? And I quit for like 20 years. 668 00:40:22,740 --> 00:40:26,420 And missed it. And missed it. But very busy. It's not like you were in the 669 00:40:26,420 --> 00:40:30,780 in the dark room. By the way, when I would do your show, I felt like a stand 670 00:40:30,780 --> 00:40:33,480 because I would try to write jokes and I'd write them with my buddies and I'd 671 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:38,860 try to get anything that would get a laugh or get you to laugh. And so that 672 00:40:38,860 --> 00:40:40,680 kind of how I stayed a little. 673 00:40:41,260 --> 00:40:46,000 like a joke writer and did you work small clubs ever when you were a kid oh 674 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:52,140 back when i was 17 i didn't know what i was yet i would watch so many great 675 00:40:52,140 --> 00:40:55,240 comedians go i guess i'm gonna be like that guy and you can name like 20 676 00:40:55,240 --> 00:40:59,360 comedians when my first two years and i was like let me be more like him let me 677 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:04,240 be like steve martin let me be like whoever i could uh kind of get a formula 678 00:41:04,240 --> 00:41:09,360 like and then colin quinn who was just He's a great comedian.

And he used to 681 00:41:15,540 --> 00:41:18,940 go, you know, you make me laugh a little bit more offstage. 682 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:21,960 And I was like, oh, I got hurt, of course. 683 00:41:22,180 --> 00:41:26,240 And he goes, what I'm saying is maybe, you know, when you tell me stories about 684 00:41:26,240 --> 00:41:27,880 New Hampshire and you. 685 00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,660 Being Jewish in New Hampshire, that stuff makes me laugh. Maybe we should 686 00:41:31,660 --> 00:41:35,520 about that a little more and try not to. It took me a while to just become 687 00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:40,140 myself on stage. So you still, in getting ready for a show like this, how 688 00:41:40,140 --> 00:41:43,920 did it get you to get this show in this condition? 689 00:41:44,260 --> 00:41:46,560 Oh, shit, like two months. Two months. 690 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:50,160 And I did, this is probably the 15th show of the tour. 691 00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,960 We're starting to get cooking now. The last time you and I saw one another, it 692 00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:58,300 was also in a theater. It was at the Kennedy Center. It was Conan. O 'Brien's 693 00:41:58,300 --> 00:42:04,560 induction with the Mark Twain Award. And I was very jumpy that night. Yes. 694 00:42:05,130 --> 00:42:11,410 And I saw you in the wings. Yeah. You looked like you were like a guy running 695 00:42:11,410 --> 00:42:13,390 not a very successful mortuary. 696 00:42:14,250 --> 00:42:17,990 You had a big black suit that was like. Oh, it was too big for me. Something. 697 00:42:18,210 --> 00:42:21,210 Something's wrong. I shouldn't wear that. And we hugged. Oh, man. And you 698 00:42:21,210 --> 00:42:26,010 consoled me. Yeah. And you made me feel better. So then you go out. And it's 699 00:42:26,010 --> 00:42:30,370 like a drunk guy throwing grenades in the audience. It was like, kaboom, the 700 00:42:30,370 --> 00:42:33,590 laughter just exploding. And then kaboom, and then kaboom. 701 00:42:34,410 --> 00:42:36,230 that makes his dick look like Pennywise. 702 00:42:36,910 --> 00:42:41,010 In the summer, has so many freckles on his dick that it looks like Ron Howard 703 00:42:41,010 --> 00:42:42,970 hugging Tom Sawyer Mark Twain reference. 704 00:42:44,110 --> 00:42:47,570 Has 12 Kids' Choice Awards and 15 MTV Awards. 705 00:42:48,430 --> 00:42:50,350 Nope, that's actually the Sandman. 706 00:42:51,490 --> 00:42:55,830 Now I'm just backstage, just beginning to wither. And the energy... 707 00:42:56,250 --> 00:43:00,570 That you propelled off that stage, and I just thought, I'm a dead man. No. I am 708 00:43:00,570 --> 00:43:04,650 a dead man. You came on, and you were the night man. No. Yes. No, no, no. 709 00:43:04,650 --> 00:43:08,630 Conan's favorite. You're all us. No, no, no, no. Anyway, enough of that. 710 00:43:09,190 --> 00:43:10,190 That's forever. 711 00:43:10,690 --> 00:43:12,490 I've been watching a lot of your work. 712 00:43:12,910 --> 00:43:18,310 Music is such an essential part of your act, if not the act. Yes, it's a big, 713 00:43:18,310 --> 00:43:21,130 big part of being. You're doing jokes. Yes. But it's songs. 714 00:43:21,510 --> 00:43:23,740 Yes. And jokes. Songs that are protection. 715 00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:25,400 I do the goofy jokes. 716 00:43:25,620 --> 00:43:29,720 If I feel them nosedive, then I go, let's go, quick. Take out that guitar. 717 00:43:29,980 --> 00:43:32,100 At least hit them with some noise, man. 718 00:43:34,500 --> 00:43:41,000 Who's gonna be the hero to get you through the night? 719 00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:49,260 Who's gonna wrap their arms around you and make everything all right? 720 00:44:02,919 --> 00:44:06,180 I saw you. 721 00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:23,660 Friday night at the Mohegan Sun Casino Theater. One of the many impressive 722 00:44:23,660 --> 00:44:27,640 things about this experience of seeing Adam live was the audience. 723 00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:32,780 is with you first breath, right through like an hour and a half. And the thing 724 00:44:32,780 --> 00:44:38,840 builds to this unholy crescendo of joy, if joy can be unholy. 725 00:44:39,820 --> 00:44:43,840 But, you know, if I were to do that, I would get heckled. You don't get heckled 726 00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:44,840 at all. 727 00:44:44,940 --> 00:44:49,700 Sometimes they scream stuff out, and I run out of things to say, and then all 728 00:44:49,700 --> 00:44:53,020 a sudden it gets awkward for a minute. But, man. Not what I think. 729 00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:58,360 I sing one more tune for my wife because she's so nice to me and lets me talk 730 00:44:58,360 --> 00:44:59,620 about all this fucking dumb shit. 731 00:45:00,380 --> 00:45:01,380 Here we go. 732 00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:05,820 I met you 28 years ago and we talked all night. 733 00:45:06,220 --> 00:45:11,880 You drank me under the table.
