"Smoke coming out of his lungs from lane. He took a drag during the commercial break. 30 seconds later, he laughs, and I see this just Brown kind of a haze coming out of spa. Johnny Carson. It's Letterman's birthday, so I'm going to mention Letterman because he had a huge role in saving the Conan O'Brien late night show. And we got to meet him. He came like he had left and competed against Leno and then he came back to do to be a guest on Conan's show like 5 months into the show and everybody critics were all shitting on our show and the network was panicking and looking for potential replacements and Letterman came on and he met us and he was so incredibly generous and said this is state of the art comedy and he said it on the air to Conan and I'm not sure the show would have survived if he hadn't done that. So God bless that man. That's a nice story. That's a nice let's go back to the Johnny with the brown cloud. Just for a moment. It's the last one. Do you have a sketch that you try to do on the show that you thought was really, really funny, it either aired in air, but it did not work, but you'll go to your grave being like, I was right there wrong. That was funny. I wouldn't go that far about thinking it was great, but Kevin and I again in our madness somehow thought of two guys who were porn actors and they were in a chair and they were going to get grooming on their genitals. Yeah. And it was all, yeah, make it nice, you know, put a little fence around. I don't know what got Kevin. That was so funny. It was funny. It was like, but make a real nice, make it nice. Nice and simple. It was always for the people. It's for the people. Put some pinstripes on there. So anyway, what I was talking about, you know, I went down to the bowling alley last night. Yeah, that's nice. Shining it up a little bit. Just a little fence down there if you're here for the people. For the people, that's right. It was for the people for the people fluff it up, you know, paint it, do what you want. And we were looking down and we had our shirts off. That was did you get to do it on? It was on dress at least, right? I think so. It didn't land. It was like it would have needed to be, you know, 5 shows in. They would have got what the hell we were talking about. I don't know. I think it probably just needed another chance. Maybe more to camera. I don't know. That was hysterical. I remember that. Yeah. For me, I was I had some success with a sketch called the mister no depth perception. And I thought that could be kind of a recurring thing, but it didn't go anywhere after that one. I wrote one up at one. I wrote a sketch, yeah, good. That was funny. That was a song. It had a song. Mister no depth perception. Yeah, yeah. It did. That was brilliant. Bunny and Terry wrote a song for it. That was the plague that I had cast upon the show. I wrote the mister short term memory song. That's right. And then after that, he has before that, it was always done part of saying, no, another episode of. And I remember even when we wrote mister short term memory and we wrote that song Lorne was like, can't we just have it be now another director, so go with mister shortman? Michael also wrote, came up with the idea of my weekend update where my head was spinning around. That was your idea. That was your idea. No. That was my idea. News from news from ten feet away. All right, right, right. Which was a pretty funny one. But shit, there was something. Oh, I wrote a band for Sandler to front called dogs. Where it was just songs that it was like a parody of Nirvana and Pearl Jam just really earnest songs written from a dog's perspective and Sandler had 8 nipples. And he could really play guitar and I thought it was going to be a thing, but everybody just got their hands on it and it's like, okay, no, we want Mike up front. Like everybody was treating it like it was going to be a big deal. And it ended up putting too much. Like I didn't want to do it again. I didn't want to try it again after that. It was just too much stress. But I watched it. It's so funny. I did one that I think I did it once. It pretty much bombed. It was doing bud Friedman at the improv that used to say, take it outside, take it outside. If you were talking and chatting near the stage store. You did that a couple of times. I can't believe it. Really landed. It was kind of it did pretty well. I think the two Sammy's was the one that I think if we done differently, it might have caught on. But I mean, it was kind of the same job atmosphere as Wayne's world, you know? They're down in the basement. Yeah. On the couch, you know. But it was like, I didn't, you know, I had kind of flowing blond hair. I didn't even think to put a wig on to make myself look like sort of a blue collar guy. And give me a bit of Sammy and I had time. It was very, it was very sweet. It was very slice of life. It didn't have like a hard hook in terms of. Well, the hook was yeah. That's another thing I'm never gonna do. That's another thing. I love doing it. I love that. It was a little melancholy. I'm gonna do this. Oh my goodness, there's another thing I'm never gonna do. Give me some of that dim squad over there, Sammy, you know? I'm gonna cop a squirt. We was just early days for us, you know.

"Yeah. Yeah, okay. He's pretty apolitical. So now it's time for the final segment of the show. It's called the laughing round. It's like a lightning round, but because it's a comedy podcast, it's called the laughing route. I like it. Danny, if you have a favorite joke joke, like a street joke? Well, I have a joke that is, I think it's just a generic joke. I don't think I wrote it, but I've used it for years and it never fails. Did you hear about the mom and the dad who found out their ten year old boy was visiting S&M site? And the mom said, what are we going to do? And the dad said, well, we can't spank him. He's not a street joke, Kevin, or did you know what? That is. That's just one that we don't know where it came from. But I don't know where these jokes come from. Yeah. The one I've always liked. I know a couple dirty ones, but this one is, you know, this guy is a gambler, actually he's in Vegas. I haven't told this for a while. But this guy comes out of a casino because let's say this guy goes, hey buddy, you got $500. I got borrow. My wife's got it going for emergency surgery. I need the $500. And the other guy goes, you know, how do I know if I give you these $500? You're not going to spend it on gambling. He goes, oh, I got gambling money. Okay, I have one that's done as George W. Bush. An outsized laugh that I actually have contempt for the audience, how big the laugh is for how stupid the joke is. He's George W. Bush. Two Irish men walk out of a bar. It could happen. Frankie laugh. Every time it's like, I don't even know what's wrong with the audience. That is a thing when the audience laughs at something that you think is kind of hacky. You go, okay, anything they laugh at now, they're disqualified. The whole show is disqualified. Robert, did you have one? Oh man, I'm trying to think of one that's short. Not long, filthy ones. 5 Jewish women are eating lunch at a busy. Restaurant. The waiter approaches the table and nervously and says to them. Good afternoon, ladies. Is anything okay? You see because they're gonna complain. That's a Jewish stereotype that only I can do. Well, I did my Irish drunk. Yeah, I figured I would do it. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Is there a joke or sketch or impression that you wish you could steal? Like something someone else did, you were like, I wish that was in my set, I wish I did that on the show, anything in the I wish that was mine. I've already stolen everything I need. I do most of Kevin's act, but we're not in the same city. I remember, I remember when I first started off doing stand up, I would see all these great comics go on. One after another at the improv of the comedy store. And I was just starting out. I really had no material. And they had a lot of material, and I thought, if they would each give me one joke. One joke. It's not gonna hurt them. Then I'd have like 20 minutes and I could make a living. But no. No, they wouldn't do it. No. No. So I had to take their jokes. Yeah, yeah. Change him a little bit. Every now and then I'll see jiminy glick and I'll he's so quick and funny and I'll be like, why couldn't I think of that for triumph? Do any of you have a short story of an interaction of a legendary comedian living or dead that you're willing to share? Well, I've always been a fan of Amy Kaufman. Oh, you have to meet Andy? Yeah, I used to work at the improv as a bartender and stand up there. That's where I started. But any coffin would hang out there. And I loved everything he did because he was so unique. And so absurd. And I always want to talk to him, but I was afraid that one day he was standing out in front of the improv, and he was leaning against the wall. And I knew he was into TM, meditation. And so I went up to him and I said, Andy, what can you tell me about TM? I'm really thinking about getting into it. And he talked for like a half an hour, but really didn't look at me. He was looking at the traffic going by. And I was not really even listening to him. I was just looking at the moles on his face. I was trying to connect them and thinking, wow, I wonder where that mole, which mole came up first, I wonder. You know, it's a whole thing about malls. And I just want to look at his face, you know? I didn't care about meditation. That's amazing. Every now and then I meet some celebrity that I have so much reverence for that I can't wait for it to be over because I'm afraid of saying something stupid. It's like this part of me that like, okay, okay, this is going fine. Okay, okay. How do we stop? A lot of tension. I read for spinal tap, very nervous, young. I was going to be the drummer. And I came in and it was Christopher Guest, Rob Reiner, who are the other two. Are you sure? With blond hair. Michael. Well, they're sitting there. And I go, I just feel nervous 'cause you guys are all in here and know each other, and I'm coming in like this. And they just, it seemed like they did it like the Marx brothers immediately. All right. And so they all left the room. Just quickly walked out. I'm sitting there, and then they wait a little bit, and then they came in, feel better now. But they like me well enough to put me in the film and Billy Crystal played mine waiters in that room. That's right. That's amazing. Yeah. So that's where I know you from. Here the whole time thing. We're now I know this guy from. Hey, hey. You're getting a box getting the box. I'm Billy Crystal. This is a bad Billy Crystal. I'd say meeting Steve Martin. Yeah, that was like Robert's story. Like just too much, you know, and that he maybe my fourth season, I was doing Regis or at some point I was doing Regis and he walked up to me during the week. He was hosting. And kind of expressed this admiration for what I was doing on the show and that character in specific. And I think it was Mark Twain that said, I can dine out on a good compliment for two months. I could just die now. Knowing that, yeah, that happened to me with Steve Martin. I wrote this holiday wish sketch for him. My second year at the show when he hosted, they keep playing it on. They play it on the Christmas episodes every year, but that was just in any set. It's very rare I get a monologue written for me like that. Was that the one we're not going to phone it in tonight? No. That's like my favorite thing ever that I got involved in, but now this was like, if I had one wish to make this holiday season, that one that gets sillier and sillier. It's really good. But that was, yeah, that was, I guess, meeting Don Rickles, you guys have all probably had an encounter with Don Rickles. What's the first insult he did to you? Like for me, it was hello rabbi. Which I found that later is what he uses on a lot of Johnson. He looked at me. Of a gorilla. First thing he said to me. Don't impress him a gorilla. And you start laughing, you want to be insulted more and more or whatever, not even. He's near a famous one he did to Farley when Farley was in the audience. Do you remember this? I don't know. There's so many. I'm sorry. We all worship rickles. Johnny Carson was another one for me, because if you did the Johnny Carson show The Tonight Show, that kind of validated you as a stand up. I remember the first time I did it, I came out there, and then I went over to the new panel, the invited me to panel. And we're coming back to the commercial and about 30 seconds later, he's laughing. I can still see the cigarette smoke coming out of his lungs from lane. He took a drag during the commercial break. 30 seconds later, he laughs, and I see this just Brown kind of

"Lord. The only one was 5000. I lost $5000. Come on. I got to work on this impression. That is amazing. I remember him when he hosted the espys. That's where when he hosts the espys, and that was off the charts. I mean, his famous joke about the Heisman Trophy. What was it? The joke was about the Heisman Trophy that Charles Woodson. Charles Woodson, right? He's like, Charles Woodson is here. Never take away from you. You know, unless you kill your wife in a waiter. That's right. He won the Heisman Trophy. They can never take it away from you unless you kill your wife in a waiter. And the whole room was just like, oh my gosh. And he's just like, was that the one two where Will Ferrell did Harry carry and made fun of Elway's teeth? And it was, oh boy. It's off the charts. Yeah, that must have been a great night. People would say how brave and courageous norms comedy was. But I just call it poor judgment. I love it said they got banned, they got banned from a biloxi casino once. And I thought because norm like was counting cards or something, he said, no, because he totally torched the room of all the whales, like he made fun of them in a way that he didn't read the room and he absolutely did that poor judgment thing and that's why they got banned from a biloxi. So even that is memorial ten people walked out. Yeah, but you know, I got to give him a little slack because the last 9 years of his life he had cancer that he wasn't telling anybody and he's taken a lot of different prescription medicine and that kind of make you a little loopy. Sure, yeah. But not that much more. But I remember I do remember him jumping out of like a stage door at Radio City Music Hall when we were all getting ready for the night and he was asking about a score of a game. Yeah, I thought like I would be like his own personal sports phone like you. Do you ever follow him on Twitter, his golf? Of course. Commentary. Oh, my God. It was so great. Hilarious. Yeah, I mean, he did it just like an announcer. It was just great. Tiger dancing on the green with he was just the all time best then. No question about it. I exaggerate my brushes with fame.

And then go visit Kevin nealon dot com for upcoming shows and I saw you do stand up at the Bob Saget affair that occurred in his memory. Hot comedy cool cuisine. And you were telling some terrific stories that makes it seem like you're coming from my best dad ever title. Right here. What was that story you were telling about what happened? I tell the audience I said, I bet I'd be a really good dad. If I was home more with my kid. Right. But I'm at that point now where my son recognizes that I'm an older father. Compared to his friends, fathers. And it's not sitting well with him. And I came into his bedroom about a week ago. I could tell he had been crying. So I had to roll puffy. Here's saint cheeks. I said, what's the matter, buddy? Because I don't know his name. I've never home. What is his name? He said, I just been thinking, I'm ten now, when you're 63, when I'm 20, you're going to be 73. One 30 are going to be 83. You're not going to be around for a lot of my life, are you? I said, body, body, body. So I'm going to be around for a long time. I'll be your own. When you graduate, I'll be around when you get married, when you have kids, I'll be around for all that stuff, don't you worry about that, but you got to make that happen in the next four years. Otherwise, yeah, you're right. I probably won't be around. Wow. Buttery, everybody. Buddy, buddy, buddy. Best dad ever. Best dad when he's home. Best day. Every time I figure that when you walk out the door, I think of Harry Chapin. I think of cats in the cradle. Not feeling great, you know? Yeah. But I used to think about that a lot too. And then I was reminded how much money I'd be making on this game. And then I would think the money's in the cradle now. Oh my gosh. How many Sandler movies have you done? I've done about 13, 13 rooms. It's been a while though. I mean, he's kind of smartened up and used other people. He's smart enough. Come on now. You know, it seems like all the roles are kind of a little bit embarrassing. Like I did little Nicki where I played the hell. And I had two brush on my head. And they look so real. I mean, the makeup department did an amazing job and water balloons in each one and they just blended it in when my scalp and they felt like they were real breasts that would imagine. And. Everybody wanted to feel my breasts on my head and sometimes I'd be talking to somebody and this happened more often than not I have to excuse me my eyes are down here down here. And at the end of the day, when they took them off, I was like I was invisible. Nobody cared about me all of a sudden. It's amazing. I mean, I get it now. I get it. Right. So that was just one of the 13 roles. It was one of the 13 roles. Then I played, you know, happy Gilmore, I played the guru on the green harness the good, blocked the bat.

He was so peculiar, too. Norm was very needy in a way. And I'm not speaking out of I mean, everybody knew that he was needy. He always needed a handler. Yes. Because he just, I don't know if he didn't know how to do things or he just didn't feel like doing it. Going tour with him. He couldn't find his passport. He couldn't find his shoes. He couldn't find this. Are you serious? He didn't drive. He didn't have no driver's license. You had to point him in the right direction where to go. And this is what I was doing drugs or anything. And he loved to gamble. And again, I'm not speaking out of school on that one either. He loved the gamble. And I learned not to loan nor money, because he wouldn't pay it back. And we were in Vegas once, and he has to borrow $500. So I gave him a $500, think he'd pay it back. He went off to gamble. He came back the next morning at some for breakfast. I said, no, you get the 500 bucks. I do last night. He goes, oh, you'll get it, you'll get it the next day. Don't forget the $500. You got it.

I listened to his book and the first thing that came to my mind was this guy has had a stroke or something. No sounded really old. Because i always were predators. Do they start like trying to see it soon as allegations come in there like i'm so feeble i even played it for my doctor. Sounds like he's had a stroke and my doctor says sounds like he's had some neurological falem telling everybody. Would he had a stroke. Would he had a stroke spreading that around.

Alan i have really hot takes. That have nothing to do with all these out like. I don't think hall is a progressive female character. This is my hot take. People think she's like super back then because she was in a blazer. It's because she's wearing a blazer. She's she's still dressed. Wouldn't totally but the character was like flaky and insecure lost and like character and by the way confuse. But i'm just saying everyone was like he's such a feminist anti like. She was a very like week person. That was dating was dating a malignant narcissist and. She was wildly out of his league. She was an insecure like airhead. That was like minimizing herself for this guy. That didn't deserve her. I don't like. I never thought that was like the movie. The progressive movie ever thought it was i was like. She's wearing khakis and unflattering close. That doesn't make this. I'm just saying. I'd like to come for him for a couple of while. We're on the topic. I'd like to attack the work as well. I just feel like there's another documentary about how he molested my time. I just i. Just don't i don't i don't like when men hide behind being like weaken like impotent and like i'm a nerd and i'm sure it and like increase can be short and insecure too but that is the root of a lot of stand up isn't it like self deprecating.
