[laughter] Well, I st Yeah, I stuck around for another what, 16 years? You know, >> we were just talking about this. What is it about marriage that just starts the death process of a relationship?
>> I Yeah, you talked about that with Kevin Nean and I don't What is that?
>> I don't think it I mean, I was married for 25 years.
>> Jesus Christ.
>> You know, I was married for 25 years in my first marriage. So, but I'm also like I don't know that I I don't think I don't I don't think you can generalize in that sense. I think it is.
>> First of all, I can do whatever I want.
>> Well, right. Exactly. [laughter] These are your chairs. Um I uh >> Time for Sorry, time for a Lucy break.
What? The whole show is just me doing ads. [laughter] >> Hold on a second. Speaking of divorce, Morgan and >> Legal Zoo, not only Yeah. Yeah. Um >> Morgan [laughter] is very nice. Way better than mine, >> but I um I just think it's hard to stay together with somebody. It's just really hard to stay together with somebody >> so long. How do you how 20 >> how many >> 25 years and then we were we were together like two years before that.
>> So >> So what happens? You just there was no big fights for I heard you on Neil Brennan's podcast. You did a good job talking about >> Oh, thank you. Um >> I really enjoyed it.
>> No, thank you. No, >> this is going better. [laughter] >> [ __ ] Neil Brennan. [snorts] Um >> he used to be my roommate.
>> No, I love Neil Brandon. Um I you know what happened was is the you change you know and also there's like and also um you neglect the relationship.
>> Yeah.
>> And we were still like pretty good friends and pretty like pretty good parents, you know, like nobody's perfect, but like we did a good job raising kids. We ran a household pretty well together. Like just in terms of division of labor, there wasn't a lot of like you don't do this and you don't do that. But we just stopped being married.
I think we stopped upkeeping the relationship and then and then it just kind of it and then we didn't we didn't fix it in time.
>> I mean and I don't know I don't know >> Springsteen song. I don't know that if that like if that if there was a fixing it. I think that just over time, you know, like the change like us becoming different people and us changing in different ways, it w it, you know, it might not have worked no matter how much work we threw at it. But there certainly was a point where it was just like this this is I had a moment where I was just like because it isn't like having a a a spouse a partner is very it's I I've come to realize it's about the most important thing in the world to me >> and I and I do not do well without it.
Like I could like when I was single after I got divorced, I did have this thought of like, okay, I could do this, but I don't want to do that. Like I could be single. It could just be me and my dog and my kids come over and, you know, but I don't want to do that. And um and I I I I just [clears throat] had a I had one moment where I just was like, I can't live the rest of my life. And I was very aware, too, like I think your life is in three chunks. There's like your childhood, there's your kind of adulthood where you're raising kids, and then there's like, you know, >> I'm around mid mid50s into however long it lasts. Yeah.
>> And I realize I'm getting into the third act here and I can't >> I can't have the best that it is is just getting along and tolerating each other.
Like that cannot be the best that it gets. And I just and I made the ultimately good, I think, decision, but horrible decision to blow it all up and and and move out. And it was it was [ __ ] >> Was it a horrible decision or were you just the one brave enough to say it out loud? Uh [sighs] well, I mean >> I was the one brave enough to say it out loud, but it it was there was wreckage that I if I you know, we could have possibly muddled through for a while, you know, years longer and not, you know, upset things as much as as we're upset.
>> That's so sad.
>> Of course. And that's why I didn't, you know, that's why >> are you guys still friends now?
>> Not really. Uh, being remarried, it was getting there and then when I got remarried, it was kind of like, oh, okay. You know, >> you know what I said? It's like a Springsteen song specifically, Stolen Car. There's a great line. He goes, she asked if I remember those letters I wrote. She said, last night I read all those letters. They made me feel a hundred years old.
>> Oh, wow.
>> I listen to that. I'm like, [ __ ] Jesus Christ, Bruce, take it easy. It's like right after a hungry heart.
>> Yeah.
>> Like how do you like what? It's literally [laughter] like right on the same side as I'm like this guy's schizophrenic.
>> And how long between So I was married 6 years then I was married 9 years 11 months and like n Yeah. Like right up in that 10 year window.
>> And then like all both times the next person came kind of oddly quickly. And it wasn't like oh you're on the rebound.
And it was like, "No, obviously we're married 10 years. Obviously, it was meant to be, right?"
>> Yeah.
>> How long between the divorce and >> um we met uh four years.
>> Oh, so you did all your [ __ ] >> Oh, [laughter] yeah. No. Oh, no. I You know, I really I'm really clean. Just out there with those clean legs.
>> Yeah. With these clean legs. [laughter] Once these ladies see this these sleek swimmers gams. Uh >> those are gams. Yeah, thank you.
>> Those are gam [laughter] >> I should have worn long pants.
>> It's cold out here by the by the beach.
Uh >> it is freezing.

I've been single three years and then we got married in 2023. But we got engaged really fast and I and and it was we got engaged really fast to the point where I was kind of like is this too fast? But no, >> I've never thought that.

And uh so we're both grown-ups. She'd never been married before. She, you know, >> had her own business for years. She lived in London for you know she's like a fullon grown-up woman and one of the things like one of the moments that I had in falling in love with her was like this realization cuz she had a child that she'd had you know our daughter she already had and she had had her on her own and I had this moment this realization once where was like she does not need me at all. I am just like added value to her life and so and I had not encountered that, you know.
>> How old was the daughter when you met the mom?
>> She was uh year and three/4er something like that.
>> Perfect.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> So you're you're in on the ground floor of that investment. She and when she started calling, I mean, we got engaged and and I never, you know, I was going to, you know, let her come to me basically, but like Jen started to encourage her to call me daddy and she started calling me daddy and I was I was a little bit like, "Oh, okay.

>> So the lockdown happened 2 weeks after she's born. And so the world shut down.
So this child was raised by my wife and then her sister moved in with her. uh cuz my wife's from here. Her sister moved in with her and she just had her mom and her aunt for the longest time and there was like some kid didn't they, you know, they got their bubble or their circle or whatever we were calling it.
And she did have one little kid she played with. But when I showed up, [laughter] she did run that [ __ ] house. And she was like a negotiator.
Like everything was Cornelia was >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Just all these negotiations. And I mean I'm not like I'm a I'm a You know, I I I realize like I'm going to have to be the hammer here. Like there has to be a hammer.
>> That's my least favorite role.
>> And and I'm not like big into that, but I certainly can do it because >> I also too having older kids, I realize >> that when you when a child knows that they're not like a child running a house, like that's not good for the kid.
mainly because no child wants to feel like there isn't someone holding, you know, like they're they're not being, you know, like they need a container and the parents have to be the container of their life that's like, "No, no, you're not in charge. I'm in charge." And that allows the child to feel safe because if the child's in charge of a household, that's not a feeling of safety. You know, >> I got my 14-year-old's kind of in charge of this house.
>> Yeah.
>> He he really runs the goddamn show. He's the master negotiator. child of divorce back at he's here Monday to Friday. He goes to his mom's on the weekends. Yeah.
>> Only because the school's right around the corner.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> So, he's one of these guys like, "Okay, I'm going to I'm going to pick you up from school at 10:00 a.m. to bring you to your doctor's appointment." Okay, great. So, hold on a second. Why do I have to go to school then? Because that's, you know, from 8:30 to 10. He goes, "But that's ridiculous. Like, that's an hour. I'm not going to be able to focus." But, okay, stay home. I'll take you to doctor's office. It goes and then you bring him back to school.
Great.
>> Why? And then but everything's like perfect like four hours after the fact.
But why am I going back to school though? Like what I mean I'm only going to be going back for two hours.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> And then it just be it really comes down to like what hill do you want to die on?
>> Yeah.
>> And I just I'm such a lousy hammer. I am such a pushover. I think it's cuz when I was on drugs I was a big yeller.
>> Like my you guys shut up and [ __ ] pipe down. And now I'm just like, I don't [ __ ] know. Do whatever you got to do. I used to snort aderall off my toilet seat. Like obviously I don't make So when you and Charlotte get divorced, how long do you think it'll be before you see another woman?
>> Uh, I'll probably It'll probably be pretty quick. I I hope I'm old at that point. And >> if you divorce Charlotte, Yeah.

No, she'll divorce me >> to be a ring girl just walking around here with like how many the 10-minute increments just >> I remember my sister my sister uh who was divorced once told me at one point like when I was right in the middle of leaving she told me uh she's like it'll be it'll be a while before you really I think you're comfortable dating and I was like oh really and she said yeah like a couple of three years and I was like what the [ __ ] are you talking about? But she wasn't wrong in terms of like uh emotionally ready and kind of like actually sort of uh not a mess. You know, it took me a couple years to not be a mess still.
>> Yeah. You know, even when you know the relationship's over, you really are broken. And it took me about four, five years to get completely out of the spiderweb.
>> Yeah.
>> Like it affected every part of my being.
when you And by the way, dating as a 55year-old guy, terrifying.
>> Yeah.
>> Like I gotta meet a stranger, they always want to meet for coffee.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Like if you're ever on a dating app, they're like, "That's great. Let's meet for coffee." I'm like, "I don't know how to say this, but when I have coffee, I got to take a shit."
>> So you're just telling me, [laughter] >> you're just going for [ __ ] >> You're just sitting there telling me about your family and I'm just gripping the table like this.
>> And maybe she was like, "Yes, I know."
>> Oh, freaky deicky. [laughter] >> So yeah. And then like when do I lean into kiss and this am I like everything is so terrifying. I can see me getting into way more transactional relationships.
>> Yeah.
>> If I was single.

Like it's too much. Uh I no see that I wasn't that I'm not worried about but at dating dating I did find I did find like there was sort of a level like from when I was younger like there is this you were all just like well we're going to [ __ ] right because I mean it is like why would we do this if there wasn't like some possibility of [ __ ] I mean we're going to [ __ ] and I did find that that was like much more like it was and I didn't know going into it but it did seem like there was like well yeah we're all up for that that's what we're here for.

And every time I'm like, >> "You just did >> like we're driving to Barstow. Just [ __ ] talk." You know what I mean?

And I [laughter] and it'll be like, "Dad, and I, you know, and it's just But after that happens for 30 days in a row, three times a day, it's like, you just ask your [ __ ] question. What do you want?" You know, >> do you have two boys or a boy and a girl?

>> Hey, [clears throat] I'm going to take a shower now. [laughter] >> Okay.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Like, should I pause the TV? My my 25-year-old will call me and and he'll he lives with us now and he he'll call me and he'll just be like, "Okay, uh I'm coming back from West Hollywood. I might stop and uh pick up some groceries, but I shouldn't be home and you like I'll be home in like an hour and a half." And I and I always am just like, you 25, you do whatever. [laughter] Show up whenever you want, you know?
>> I love that he found love. I heard you talking about that with Neil, >> with >> your oldest son.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Yeah. It's wonderful. Yeah.
>> And I used to do that with my wife when I got sober and it like, okay, I'm here and now I'm going here and then I'm going to go here. And it wasn't until we did we did couples counseling before we got married just everything was fine.
It's like let's just make sure >> that's there's nothing wrong with that.
>> Let's sweep the room before we move in.
Right. That's another one of my pet peeves is people who are like co couples counseling is when things go wrong like no second that's like that's like you know saying like well I didn't have cancer before I went to the hospital like yeah you had cancer and you went to the [laughter] hospital and they told you you got cancer you know >> there's a great aa joke where a guy goes uh there's an alcoholic he dies a horrible alcoholic death and all his drinking buddies are at his casket and they go I can't believe he died from drinking I know and the one guy goes did he ever try AA he goes it was no it wasn't that bad. [laughter] I love that joke. I love all alcoholic jokes. But when I got sober, I would tell her everywhere I was going. And then in couples counseling, she just goes, "He's always telling me where he is." Like, what is that? Like for her, I was the old me was like needling her, but it was it was actually maybe this with your son. I'm actually where I say I'm going to be >> all the time now. It's like a whole I don't think your son's like that, but I'm just like, "No, I'm actually a man of my word. Maybe I think I got a reward from it, too." So maybe your son's just keeping the [ __ ] at you, like being >> Yeah. I don't know. He Well, he's always been a worrier. He's been a worrier since he was a little kid, you know. So I think he just >> is always like nervous that he's doing something wrong, you know? So >> Oh, I hate that.
>> I know. I know.
>> How do you deal with that as a dad? Your kids >> I tell him I tell him relax.
>> How old was he when he when he was like just so you know, I'm I'm gay and I'm I'm >> Oh. Uh he was 11. That's great. Yeah.
When he he was 11 and as I like to say, >> he came out to me when he was 11 and then we didn't speak of it for eight or nine years. [laughter] It was just like, you know, they're just because he's he's a he's real he's a tough nut to crack. Like you can't when you want to talk to him about, you know, something's going on in his life and you know something's going on in his life, he will even say something's going on with X, Y, and Z. and you'll go, "Okay, let's talk about it." I don't want to talk about it. And you know, and then and now he's at the point, he's old enough, too, where it's I can say, you know, it's good to talk about it. I know. I still don't want to talk about it.
>> The balls on an 11year-old.
>> Yeah.
>> Like ab more than you and I have. I mean, we're in show business and we don't know that kind of balls. Go. By the way, I'm 11 and I'm gay.
>> I don't I think it just like it wasn't even a it it was I think he just grew up. I think part of it was growing up in Los Angeles. They're just It's not the same as growing up other places with a bunch of homophobic little shits.
>> It really is different.
>> It's very different. I think it's a lot easier.
>> My son doesn't know racism, homophob, but he just does not. There's a girl in his school that's a furry.
>> Really?
>> She wears like ears and tails every day.
I go >> I go, "Is that kid trans?" He goes, "Nah, she's a furry. I think she's a fox or something."
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Just doesn't give a [ __ ] >> No. Well, they I mean when they started to get into >> beating that child to death when >> Well, it's just like [laughter] the teen years of like of the teen years of like when they were like there were lots of gender fluid kids that my kids grew up with who may maybe are now or maybe aren't, but it's they were so it was so easy to them. There was no question like oh yeah, okay, they're they them that just not even >> I got a problem with the they them.
>> Nothing sticking, you know. I got a problem with they then.
>> Robbie Hoffman does a funny bit about like >> what happened to that? Nobody's that anymore.
>> So if we really blew it, she says, right?
>> She's like, boy, did we blow it.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> We We should get Robbie Hoffman on.
>> I don't think it's going to be this interesting, but certainly we'll get a Jew, a gay, and a woman in one shot. And that's We're really checking boxes.
>> You sure are. If she can bring a Domin if she can bring a [laughter] tax if she can bring a Dominican friend, we're in the clear.

>> Well and also too to have your name so prominently displayed is like child abductor catnip.
>> But we were different then you know >> more child abductors couldn't do [ __ ] with us because we would have tortured them. [laughter] I remember riding our bikes to like other towns cuz girls in our town wouldn't talk to us. We were probably seventh eighth grade. First of all, the idea of my son taking his bike here and going to like Sherman Oaks, horrifying. Absolutely.
>> But we just did it all the time on the highway, crossing highways.
>> Yeah.
>> And there was a guy, we're coming back, we're going through Caldwell, New Jersey, and we're going through a Dunkin Donuts parking lot, and there's a guy in a pacer car, and he's just jacking off, watching us, right? We're just doing jumps and [ __ ] and he's just sitting in his car jacking off. We circled his car and pointed at him like, "Ah, he's [ __ ] jacking off." Like you would think your kid would go, I got to get out of here.
>> Oh my god. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's in there like, I usually have to pay for this. [laughter] >> And when he left, we followed him. We just followed him. And now in hindsight, he didn't drive very fast.
>> Like, don't lose [laughter] him.
>> Don't lose him. I got eight little sweaty towhead blondes following me on this stupid butt. You've always You've kept your blonde hair into adulthood.
That's kind of a rare hot guy thing.
>> I Well, you know what? you and Robert Redford.
>> It's It's turning gray and so it's kind of looking more blonde like as it it's it's kind of turned gray and uh uh >> so negative, Andy.
>> I know. It's just true. No, because my kids when I would my older kids when I would say that I was blonde, they'd be like, "Your hair's not blonde. It's brown."
>> It's blonde, dude. Well, >> it's always been blonde.
>> Yeah.
>> You were always such a nice guy to me.
And but I wanted to go back to when you were talking about sixth floor. I'm gonna get through this whole hour without ever mentioning that part of your life. But I will say this.
>> Yeah.
>> Uh you know, working on SNL, it's so dreary.
>> Yeah.
>> It's the it's it's like um >> it's dreary.
>> It's real and it's crushing [snorts] weight. And I think and you were there at a time when it seemed to be very fractured, like they're very like different different factions working in different darkened corners wondering what the other ones would.
>> I think it was Fred Wolf who told me it's either performance-based or it's writer based. When it's writerbased, it sucks. When it's performance-based, the writers are always pissed off, but the show goes skyh high. Like Martin Short doing Ed Grimley is not exactly a guy from Harvard.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Banging out a perfect sketch. like and then I'll dance like this and mention Pat Sjack and bang bang boom.
>> So, >> but it was just oppressive and you're right it was cuz it was like half performer cuz you had Farley and you had Phil.
>> Yeah.
>> So, and Sandler and like nonsense over here and then you had all these Harvard and Brown guys over here. So, I I never really got that until you just said it.
Like that makes a lot of sense. But the point I was going to make is 17th floor just [ __ ] gray oppressive stress panic snowstorm outside. We're just stuck here. Not. But then when you go to the sixth floor NBC, it's it's like Gatka. It's like the most bright.
>> Hey, every everything on the wall, everyone's got a cup of coffee and they're smiling like the morning show.
They're like, "Everything's great here.
You should live here with us."
>> Yeah. And I remember like any time I was able to see you on the sixth floor just come it literally when you get off the elevator it's like the sun comes out >> they really went out of the way. I guess that's all morning things like when you hit the road and you're like good morning Pikipsy like everything's great here in Pipsy.
>> Well I mean we were part of across the hall to was you know uh Good Day LA.
>> Yeah. So, it was there was like a magazine news show, but I do think that like we did have it because our our offices were on the ninth floor on the 6th Avenue and it was and in the beginning it was a it was grinding. It was it was it was rough and it was like long but because we just didn't >> rough because you didn't know what how >> cuz we we had we worked hours and hours and hours and the show when the show started we were 5 days a week 47 weeks a year >> which is a lot of television. It's a lot of television. And um and there were times when I was doing it too, especially when I started to go out cuz initially Robert Smeiggel, who was the head writer of the show, didn't want Conan to do remotes because that had been such a Letterman thing, going out of the studio with the camera.
>> Um and and one of the things we were very aware of in the beginning was and we would come up with ideas and go, it's very Letterman. We should it's a good idea, but it sounds too letter. I don't know how we would make it without making it just seem like a Letterman idea. So, there was this like weird sort of, you know, judgment call we'd have to make.
And for some reason, the judgment call was made. Conan shouldn't go out and do remotes. Andy, you can go do remotes.
So, I went and did a bunch of remotes before Conan ever did a remote. And um there would be some like I I remember there just was because I'd go on the weekends and shoot the remotes and then come home and edit the remotes because we were the things I that I wrote I had to produce, you know, and the the the remotes that I shot. I had to come back.
There wasn't like some writer that was just going to edit it. I'd have to come home come back and be there till 2 o'clock in the morning editing it for the next day. And it was like one stretch where I realized it it was something like 34 days in a row like I that I was working like either I was out shooting something or or actually doing the show and just >> you know it just stacked up. But if you can space that, >> I don't know there's a time in my life where I'm happier.
>> Like if I just have a remote and I have to edit and I got another guy there where I'm like >> cuz I'm not a good A to Z guy, but if you show me your alphabet, I can go >> I I think you want the M to go.
>> Yeah, I know what you mean.
>> Yeah. Like that's really like my happiest.
>> Yeah.
>> And like creating something like that.
But 34 days in a row was bonk. It was it was rough and it was very stressful and uh >> like I get euphoric when I'm I'm realizing now in real time like I get like tears in my eyes happy.
>> Yeah. Really?
>> Yeah.
>> When you just got to knuckle down and do nothing but work. You mean >> like that's just like a thing that I get to create.
>> Oh yeah.
>> Because you I like that you mentioned this on the Were you finished with what you're saying by the way?
>> Yeah. I don't know. [clears throat] >> I'm used to it with you Jay. More as Doug Benson says they should call this more digressions.
[laughter] the um the the thing with uh and of course I forgot what I was going to say. Oh, when you said on Neil Brennan about thinking of something on the subway, >> bringing it to the writers and it just being on TV that night. I I got to think that's where I was going with this. I got to think that filled you with that feeling, too.
>> That was that was >> complete euphoria.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And that was And when I went back to work for Conan on the Tonight Show, that was an easy call because I had been out here. I'd done three sitcoms that, you know, I was the the star of >> That's fun, too.
>> Uh, no, that was really fun. It was really fun. And, you know, >> to rub your fingers together like this when you get a six, [laughter] >> but well, but it it is there you you get presented with things like Andy Richtor Controls the Universe was the first one and everybody, you know, it was like everybody loved it. It was before this is before its time and all this stuff.
>> But we you know we we had two mid seasons. So it was like I you know it was like and I couldn't do anything else really. So it was like I was making my year was six episodes of TV and you know you get paid peace meal you you know >> and and then the next show that I did was a show called Quintuplets which was just like this kind of runchy box family comedy where I was father of it it wasn't that >> you're going Andy Barker PI >> no Andy Barker PI was the >> right I'm saying like these two I know very well but like somehow Quintupletup was I don't know what you're talking about it was on one se it was like you know my pattern was to try and pitch a show on my own and then when that fell apart then take a job in another TV show and that was I had a after Andy Richtor Controls the universe got canned I had a show that I was developing and that I was and then it it faded away and then it was like well here here's the lead on this on this show that somebody else wrote and that you know you're not a producer on I just was an actor on it.
>> Great.
>> And um >> Oh >> and uh you didn't let me finish.
>> And it was uh 2, you know, and that was 22 episodes. And that was like the most television money I'd made, like the highest concentration, but it was like the least satisfying and in fact kind of >> like frustrating at a certain >> What was frustrating about it?
>> Because >> because I have the opposite experience.
>> There was I like there was a moment and I also too I'm I was used to I was used to starting out with Conan in New York.
It was a very very sort of direct line from doing improv like and doing improv in Chicago with a group of people or putting together comedy shows with people where you all pitch in. It's a group activity.
You know, there's no big stars. There's no sort of divisions of labor. You're all putting together the [ __ ] show and everybody, you know, everybody has their strengths and weaknesses. So, you're going to do, you know, like this guy sings or whatever.
>> And then you I got to New York, same thing. Writers are performers. And uh, you know, Conan is in the room with us writing the thing. He's a writer. He understands writing. We put the thing together. And, and also too, I had a very the big the best gift he ever gave me was that he sort of I was the guy like everybody needs a because I write things and I'm like, is this funny? and I need somebody I trust to go, "Yes, it is." Or, "It's not that great." I was that to him. Like I was his the guy where he just go, "Yeah, yeah, we're monologue jokes. We'd sit in a monologue meeting and he'd say a joke and he'd look at me and I'd go, "Yeah, that's good." You know, or or, "Oh, that's great." Or, you know, whatever. Or I also got I also got good at triage on a on the set there's a bit something's not working with it. Let's try fixing the ending, you know? So that was like he >> that that's euphoria too.
>> He entered me. He gave me that that gift to let me be that and let me gain a sense of poise uh in doing that. So I come out here and it there's this division of labor. The the writers say, you know, the writers put the words in the performer's mouth.
And if a performer says this line isn't funny, it's like [ __ ] you. Just say it.
And I and my feeling like with all these writer rooms because I would get and I would get a pat on the head from some of these [ __ ] and I'd be like if you want to have a funny off let's [ __ ] go man because >> [ __ ] you. Don't you dare condescend to me about like about comedy about putting [ __ ] comedy on television because at that point I'd already made a gazillion hours of television comedy.
>> Yeah. And um the thing about this quintuplet show was basically I got there and I'm I'm my attitude with with these shows was always like I don't need a big credit. You know like even the shows that I produced on that I was a writer on I never wrote a an episode because that's taking episode money out of somebody's pocket. You know there's an episode fee that the writers are paid. So, if there's 12 episodes and I write one of them, that's a that's a an episode fee that one of the other writers isn't getting, I don't need the episode fee. I'm getting paid because I'm on the show.
>> So, I I um but I my attitude was always if this is a comedy, it if we're mo like if we're moving heavy things, I have muscles.
>> I have I have comedy muscles that I was born with and also ones that I have trained. So if we're doing funny stuff, let me help. And there was a moment in that show where we were shooting in quintuplets, we were shooting uh we were shooting scenes and but without the audience, you know, like >> five kids, Joe, >> you know, >> I know we were lost.
>> What else as an aside to the the previous u pilot season I was told I was too young to have [clears throat] uh teenagers and then the next season I had five, >> of course. Okay.
>> Uh but TV, but I we were shooting scenes uh without an audience, you know, like because some just to save time, they started to have like some scenes be pre-shot and they just show them to the audience. And it's one of those days the writers are sitting on the the living room set on the sort of the home base set and it it's kind of half dark uh because they're not shooting on that set >> and they're pitching they're pitching on something on a rewrite on the next scene. I have a cup of coffee in my hand and I just walk up to the circle and I I'm hearing them actively pitching. I walk up to the circle and I just sort of stand there, you know, like to observe comes to a screeching [ __ ] halt. And the guy that uh runs the show goes, "C, can we help you with something? Is there something that you need?"
>> [ __ ] that guy.
>> And I went, "That's unbelievable.
>> No, no, no, no. I'm right. I'm all right." and and I just went out to my trailer and it was such a [ __ ] bummer. It was so >> that is a bummer. I'm bummed out now.
>> So [ __ ] frustrating and like, you know, infuriating to me.
>> And then another few >> They never saw that golf video that you made.
>> No, they certainly didn't. They didn't respect your muscles. But they uh another few episodes in I'm talking to the guy and I pitch an episode because mainly because I it was three boys and two girls and I told him I've never had a scene alone with my two daughters.
Like I've you know like if there was a scene with the daughters it was the mom and if it was a scene with the boys it was it was the dad and just dumb gender [ __ ] And I was like, I And also I loved the actresses that were played my daughters. They were [ __ ] hilarious and great. And I was like I was like, let me have a scene with my daughters.
And he's kind of like, oh, that's interesting. Yeah. Well, what what what could we do? And I was like, this and this and this. And it worked. And the they based, you know, that plot. It was like the Aplot. They that became the Aplot and it worked. And I was just like, yep. And then after a as we're shooting that episode and it's working and they bring in Phyllis Diller to play a role in it, which I was so [ __ ] thrilled with, he says to me, "Hey, this was really great. Uh, do you have any other ideas? You know, just let me know." And I was like, "Oh yeah, I will."
>> Yeah, you were already.
>> [ __ ] you. You get nothing.
>> Hey, look. There's a dog.
>> Oh my goodness.
>> I just had my dinner. Who are you? Well, girl, >> what kind of dog do you have now?
>> I have two dogs. I have a 125 lb dog and a 7B dog. Does this one Oh, no.
>> She's She's a little dodgy. I got a Pomeranian that's too chunky to come down the stairs. [laughter] >> That's the one you'd fall in love. I'll show it to you when we're done. That triage, >> that's another time where I go, "Oh, wow. Everything about SNL that almost broke me in half, >> I never would have gotten that education anywhere else." when you're on a stage of a sitcom with an audience getting restless and they're like but I it just doesn't work and you go no this goes here give her my line >> and you don't need this whole page >> and they just look at you like >> oh >> and then it's like I don't care what happens after like I've never felt that satisfaction before in my life.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> That's incredible.
>> Yeah. And also and also you do you Conan and I understood the show more in a way that nobody else could really understand because we stood there in front of the people and writers would would pitch things and I'd be just like no you don't know what it's like to stand in front of the people and try this particular thing [laughter] that you're talking about. This will not work or this is no fun or the audience will not like that. You know who was in the masturbating bear suit?
>> Uh, Michael Gordon. A writer named Michael Gordon. Usually >> you guys were usually.
>> No, I think I think I think you know if he was busy or doing something I think we could once in a while he was lefty.
[laughter] >> Son of a [ __ ] >> That's the other guy.
>> There's an understudy. He's just backstage.
>> One day.
>> Well, they were very specific. They were very specific in what sort of gesture that he could do. I bet. Yeah. Yeah, because it just ended up being like this, >> which is funny to me.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Just like paddling his own nuts.
>> It's like It's actually It's almost like >> as if it was like a giant clitoris and he was just [laughter] slapping it.
>> Now I'm hungry again.
>> I know what I'm having for dinner.
>> But you [laughter] clitoris.
>> Not here. You ain't.
>> You um you you just had good guys on that staff, too. Like I saw Brian Kylie at the Comedy Magic Club.
>> Yeah.
>> Haven't seen him since then.
>> Yeah. Yeah. And it was just like bath water. Just easy. And he's exactly the same. Just same exact I think maybe he's all fully shaved. But this in my mind he's still got that holding on for dear life hair in the back. And it Jack uh co Jack >> Oh no, it's Leno. Never mind. But uh Brian Kylie like these guys.
>> Mike Sweeney.
>> Mike Sweeney. I remember Mike Sweeney just being nice to an 18-year-old me at the comedy seller. I've watched him being a dick to other people, but then for some reason he'd be like, "So how you know you're funny, like don't quit."
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Yeah. Sweenie is Sweenie is so funny too because he is like such a nice kind person and he you know and he's been Conan's head writer or right-hand person for years and years and years and and you you forget but Conan got the Mark Twain Prize and there was a banquity sort of thing the night before and Sweeney got up and he was the [snorts] MC of it and different people came up and talked. It was like really just kind of friends and like I said something and and his assistant said something and his college friend uh said something but Mike because it's all corporate sponsor things and there was a table of Goldman Sachs bankers and he [ __ ] roasted them every time and I was just like >> oh you forget that he is a knife like he is a [ __ ] knife. I remember at the seller once he went on stage and I guess I pieced this together on my drive home back to my parents house in Jersey.
Whatever girl he was seeing broke up with him for another guy and his entire set was ladies this what you got to watch out for in a guy. If the guy's sweater has little uh on the shoulders it kind of sticks up. That means he puts his sweaters on his hanger and he's a [ __ ] loser. And he just went through the and in my mind I'm like, >> "Oh my god, he just itemized everything about the guy that he hated and presented it as his set." [laughter] >> As a set, every time I go to put my sweater on a hanger, I think of [ __ ] Mike Sweeney. And he had braces [clears throat] at like 40. He was way He was cool.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> I love it. I love you. I'm so glad you're here. Thank you, Jeff. You want to promote anything? Um, >> you got a podcast?

>> Hey, now WNBC.
>> Uh, no, it's the the notion of the three questions was I when I started I I'm in therapy. I like therapy. And like, you know, like Neil's Neil's podcast, Neil Brandon's blocks, it's that's therapy.
It's basically >> Watch this.
>> If there's a Oh, thank you. if there's a sport, you know, if like a podcast is about sports, his is about therapy. And mine kind of is too. And the three questions because I wanted to people I the most interesting conversations and we're kind of having one here which is and these are the three questions. Where do you come from? Where are you going?
And what have you learned? And those that kind of introspection based on your history to me is the most interesting conversation that there is. And the people that are willing to have that conversation, it's [ __ ] great. There are some people where and I mean people that I love and super admire who have been on my podcast and I'm kind of like, >> you know, well, let's talk about why you're or or just like why you are the way you are and you realize, oh no, they there's no interest in that whatso like nope. They're just like, no, I'm not doing that for you.
>> Oh, my favorite subject me. I'm all in.
>> What have you learned >> uh in life? you oh um uh little things uh I that I actually have boiled down to slogans and I'm not even really like a big slogan guy uh but they are work for peace like no matter what you're doing you got to think like is this is this peace or is this war uh especially when it comes to dealing with people um the other one is get better that's that's the directive it's never like you never get you're never finished. So just get better. Just keep getting better and just trying to keep you know you know more mentally healthy, more happy, better adjusted to just you know life and uh >> get better. You say >> and uh [laughter] and then and another big one that I think about a lot all the time is how much of my life I spent being scared about [ __ ] And then it like now I'm like what the [ __ ] was I scared about?
What was I what was I afraid of? What was I nervous about? You know, like so many things that just >> You think that's where your son got it?
Like somehow through the >> I don't I don't know because I tell you he used to when he like was three and four years old used to tell people out of the blue, do not walk on the railroad tracks.

>> I did.
>> Take it easy, Ron.
>> Yeah. Come on. And I also wrote letters.
I sent my third, fourth, and fifth grade. The address to like uh the networks would be in the back of the Almanac in the library.

>> Wow.
>> I was like, "These guys are the best."
>> What did you What were you writing to What were you writing to teams about?

>> No. Not that I can think Do you have a favorite role?
>> Um, that was a pretty good one. That that was pretty good.
>> That wasn't actually my first role. My f I had a small part in a in a what we at the time called a cable movie uh for HBO that was [laughter] uh it was actually directed by Michael Richie who directed Smile. You know, he was kind of like a Robert Almanesque kind of director. And um it was called the I think allegedly true adventures of the Texas cheerleader murdering mom.
Like do you remember?
>> I saw it.
>> Did you see that? Yeah. Holly Hunter's in it. She's [ __ ] amazing in it. But I had I had one role as like a sheriff's deputy in that. And that was like the first my first movie role. And I felt like I won a contest or something because it just like >> But plus you get to dress as a sheriff.
You want to wear it home?
>> I know. I went Well, >> can I go to 7-Eleven like this? I drove out. It was like in Tarzana or something at a high school >> and uh [laughter] but like I drove out there and uh and you know I had like a 10 a.m. call time or something. got there, got in my sheriff's gear, got handed a rubber gun, and the the props guy gave me such a dressing down of like, if I see you pulling this thing out, I know it's a fake gun, but if I see you pulling it out or touching it in any way, I'm going to have make sure you get sent home right away. Like, you know, like the real stuff.

And then I I went and sat down with a bunch of other cop extra background and uh when Holly Hunter came in because I'd seen her at the table read, she stopped and talked. She's like, "Hey, how are you? How are you doing?" And it was such a like a like all of the other guys like she's ridiculous. Oh, who are you? You know, >> she really is ridiculously great.
>> She's fantastic. She's >> I met her on Jerry Magcguire. She was married to the DP Yannish Kamiski.
>> Yeah.

>> Hunter. He actually he and I went to the same uh film school in Chicago really.
And he's Yeah. And I didn't know him very well, but he was a >> a notoriously like goofball of a guy, like a very funny weirdo.
>> He said one of the best things. I'll never forget it and it helped me trust directors and DPS for the rest of my life. He's like, "When you do this, when you go from the A to B, I need you to walk like this." I forget what it was specifically, but I I looked at him. I go, "I've done it twice. It feels ridiculous." He goes, "Yes, but it looks fantastic."
>> Yeah.
>> And I was like, "Okay."
>> Yep. Yep.
>> It's one of the things I've learned.
Very little things in this world need my input. And >> yeah, >> it's [laughter] amazing. If I just [ __ ] have no input, everyone lives a great life.
>> Yeah. No, I I just worked on something recently and there was like somebody that was asking lots of questions about why this and why that, you know, like for their character and stuff and I just was like just cuz [laughter] just just cuz. Just do it, you know.
