Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger
Yes. It was an unhoused hobo. I got to hang out with Sir Anthony Hopkins or Tony. But the last day there, I just said, see you, Hoppy. But anyway, we're close. That was a thrill being with him. You know, just couldn't imagine anything more fun.

Bus boy waiter at the Holiday Inn, bringing Michael Jackson and all the Jackson family dinner. Fruit Loops. At a Holiday Inn? Holiday Inn, which was near a regional theater called the Circle Star Theater, 3,000 in the round. The Jackson 5 was playing there in 75. I was a bus boy waiter there. room service guy. And so I got to know him a little bit. I always brought him raw carrots.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger
Oh, really? Quotes follow forever. Have you ever been like, you read something and Eliza said this and it's completely made up? Obviously you have.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger
I gave him carrots and left. Also, Little Richard, I waited on him. He answered the door naked. That's true. What city is this? This is San Carlos, California.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger
Who would be the person you'd most want to meet right now? Like a famous person. Like Taylor Swift. You met her. I'm just throwing it out. Okay. Most famous person.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger
And that's very unique and kind of weird. Well put. Kind of sad.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger
For me, was it was it as him on SNL or him?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger
he did that character in a special, I think he did a special where he played all these characters at a house somewhere or something. And I remember it standing out. He's like really in the pocket with that character. And then he did the movie. Yeah.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger
It's very interesting when you get an out of the blue compliment because if you're just slumping around on a Sunday afternoon or something, and I think you totally forget that you're on TV kind of, at least intellectually. Yeah. And then all of a sudden somebody goes, I love you, man. And then walks away like, oh, thanks.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger
And that's kind of nice. They don't want anything.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger
What about the people that you have a professional photo? Let's take a photo like it's my idea. Let's take it.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade

Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger
I have a, I have a question about phones and no one's ever answered this to me. Like they make these giant, you know, library book size phones and you know, all that. Could I get a second phone that was tiny that I could just talk on that has the same number?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger
If you're just around town, you could have like this really light phone with the same number and still have this when you want to go show people videos. Come on, Tim Cook. Get your ass.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger
This is being recorded. This is me with Eliza.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger

Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger
Three performative flex is another possible special for you. Yeah, with three X's. So six specials. Oh, yeah. In a pretty short, well, I guess they would spread them out, but it's a lot of specials. It was in one year. It was in one year. We did two every, two a month. Do you know when you show up what you're going to wear? Because I never know until like 10 minutes before.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger
I guess I'll wear this shirt. Oh, on your special, you mean? Yeah, on your special.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger

Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger
I'm going to defend Encino right here. The first house I ever bought was Encino. And I would go over the Mulholland Hill into the hella Hollywood, Hollywood party. Who loves you? Go back to the country. I'm defending. I'm going on record defending Encino. I like Encino.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger
Well, I saw a clip of you. Well, you were wearing it was kind of black. And then there was sort of you were hip flexors were were exposed. Excuse me. Yeah. And it was it was kind of a cool look, you know, I mean. It's very cool. I don't, I just buy- Sounds a bit revealing. I'm trying to be invisible. You know, I have like- I'm a bit of a prude. I have 50 black t-shirts.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger
I didn't know what I was going to wear. What is the title of it, David?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger
It's on the flats, but you want to be south of Ventura. You don't want to be in the crime-ridden areas, although they have their advantages and fun, too.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger
Ms. Schellsinger. Schellsinger. There you go. Ms. Eliza Schellsinger.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger
I was introduced to Dana Garney a lot. Dana Garney. This next comedian is kind of funny. Dana Garney? It's just reading off a piece of paper. Dana, D-A-N-A, and then they just, the V became an N or something. Dana Garney, ladies and gentlemen.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger
Let us see if we can guess the title. What was the idea of the show?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger
A Different Animal, Amazon Prime, March 11th. We shot it in- Where?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger
Who does, what network was that on? How did I miss a 230 episode? It's like Friends.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger
I saw some of your stuff. I stopped.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger
I want to walk around with that attitude. You want to have sex with me. We both know it. We both want it.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger
But, yeah. Do women comedians who are photogenic, let's put it this way, attract the creep element more than the stud dudes, the men?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger
Oh, the one called Different Animal?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger
This is crazy. I totally get that. You know, the things that I saw, like if I had met John Cleese, uh, at a certain date, I still, Oh good. I want to wake up.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger
If you're in your form, I still, Say 6 to 12 or 13, 14, that time frame. Shows you watch, comedians you see. So we get it. But of course, you know now that we're just people who went to a club on a bet and then ended up on television. We get it. Can you kind of emotionally or mentally touch your fame and how much accolades and money you're making doing this? Or is it still a little bit surreal?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger
And we get to talk to her just about her process. And I love that word, her process. Tell me about your process. She's someone who went to her first open mic and then was a headliner in clubs within three years, which is not easy to do.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger
Where are you at on the disciplines? Because we've met different people on this podcast who really do workshop, like Nikki Glaser, Jim Gaffigan, It's an amazing thing. How effortless was or how hard was it for you to get a position on Stand Up Mountain? Did it come quickly or was it a grind?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger
Do you record always, or do you just go and do it? Do you remember it? It's hard to remember for me.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger
And so I've already started different animal.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger
You know, this is kind of, this is inside baseball. I love that phrase. But sometimes when you're trying to bid, your setup just happens to be perfect.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger
Took me a lot longer than that. Took me three years to learn how to hold the mic.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Iliza Shlesinger
No. So she had a killer hour and 36 months of standup. She has a cool name. We talk about how people just, you know, like I was always, instead of Dana Carvey, it was Dana Garney. Horrible introductions early on in your career. Yours was. Oh, I gave her, I gave her a bad introduction too.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
But yes, that sounds like classic buffoonery.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz

Ike Barinholtz
Thank you, buddy. Look at this. New sweater on trying to zhuzh it up for you.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
Well, if he doesn't have the oomph, we don't want him.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
You know, sometimes they take that out of when it's on TV and stuff. And I never knew that. And I'm like, oh, there's a couple of things they just pull out of movies where you're like, oh.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
Let's put in... I have been pitched Tommy Boy 2, and I'm telling you... I always go, you have heard the news about Farley? And they're like, yeah, but it would still, and I'm like, it would still be what?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
It would still be what? I mean, you don't think that was 99% of them. They're like, it's about, and I'm like, oh, just a good solid break pad movie?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
All right, go ahead. Running point. Now, I have heard it both ways, Ike. I think it's running point. And people say running point.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
Because there is something when people go, you're going to run point on this job or whatever on this client. Right. So I call it running point. And no one else does. I call it, what's the point?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
But you do some, you're part of putting it together or is this, You're executive producer with Mindy.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz

Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
Wally Cox from an old TV show, what?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
You know, Wally Cox was on... Wally Cox was on... What did you say?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
Eskabros. Eskimo Brothers. But Wally Cox was the bottom left square when I was a kid in Hollywood Squares. And I had no idea he was an Escobro with all these famous people. I just thought he and Paul Lynn were funny, you know, so.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
You're like, this was all a pizza hunt?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
And we couldn't find his pubes. Wow. So he couldn't go on that night.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
And you know he's loaded up with something. Every other comment is racist and he just stares at them. And he doesn't say anything.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
That's funny. Oh, by the way, Dana, on a side note, you don't have to listen. When I was golfing with Lovitz the other day, I burned him because we were on the green and he was blabbing away and I was walking the other side of the green. I go, oh, you're cutting out.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
And I've never used it in real life before, but it was good with Lovitz because he goes, I take offense to that and I'm sorry about your attitude. And then, but it was funny to say he's cutting out real life. Laughed at my own joke. Then laughed at his. All right, go ahead. Back to this guy.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
Basically the same thing. So you're doing sketches and you stayed there a long time though, right? Are you one of the longest?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
Even if he only got three Oscars, that would be good.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
Ignora is some disrespect, by the way.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
Wait a second, it sounds like it's all stacked over here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go ahead.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
Don't say Opportunity Knox. Josie and the Pussycats. All the classics. No, I don't... Dave's not a movie guy. When I get on a movie, when I get on a flight, I have to have a TV in the back of that chair. And it just kills time. It's so great. So when I'm on a flight... They have new release. They have old ones. I always buzz through. I can't tell you the last one I saw.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
But I will say, I don't think they can call Fern Gully a new release on Delta. Just shouting out. Legally, I don't think they can. And I do watch, I will watch almost anything on a plane because you're stuck. So, God, what did I watch last time? Maybe that Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
I have a serious question for Ike before we get rid of him. Please. You were shooting the movie Blockers, which I think I just met your director recently. Oh, Kay Cannon. Super cool guy. He's also friends with Theo.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
Maybe he wrote it. Or did you write it?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
He's friends with Theo, pretending to be part of the film blockers, and he was on the set. But it says, because I have a bad neck, and you fucking did a stunt. You hurt your neck.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
God, that's the worst. On a movie, too.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
What dick joke were you doing where you fell?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
Oh, that's good. That's more than I can do.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
I've seen those chiropractors on TikTok, but most of the time the people fart on the ones I get, but those are funny too.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
Oh, dogs are not used to getting cracked. It's so weird.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
He's like this. And the gerbil's like, I was fine. By the way, who's complaining?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
We haven't even had... Have we had Mindy on, Dana? We should have Mindy on. Love to have her on.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
Before they like the pranksters on TikTok, you have to give them some baseline.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
Or they hit him with a ball in the head and then they both look around like, what happened? I'm like, beat that guy's ass.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
I've seen when pranks go bad, I should send you one, Ike. It's Instagram where it goes wrong and they get the shit kicked out of them. It's great.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
Yeah, and he's like, it's a prank. It's a prank. Who cares?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
I've seen those too. Why would I be like, oh, you're not candid camera. You're some asshole.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
I'm going to stop punching you in the face. Don't get me going, Ike.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade

Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Ike Barinholtz
I'm such a colossal puss when, when I do movies and they're like, or SNL even, but you hear about these people that are in makeup chair for nine hours a day. I'm like, well, what are you shooting? Like you shoot one half a scene and then go home and undo it all. Like you're only legally allowed to shoot so long and you get all this shit on to look like the blob.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade

Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Susan Morrison - Author of LORNE: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live
Okay. I don't know when this airs, but it's February 18th. It's called Lorne, the man who invented SNL.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Susan Morrison - Author of LORNE: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live
After only eight episodes, we're going to do Best Ofs?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Susan Morrison - Author of LORNE: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live
By the way, I don't know what time we have. How did you end up writing this book?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Susan Morrison - Author of LORNE: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live
He had always told me, I would never write a book because I couldn't tell the truth. So in terms of like, you're writing this, and like, what do I include? You, Susan, what do I not include? Is this unflattering to Lauren, who I have affection for, and I think is seminal. And so when he was sharing with you, it was stories that you felt
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Susan Morrison - Author of LORNE: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live
We did a live podcast with him at David's house.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Susan Morrison - Author of LORNE: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live
Mm-hmm.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Susan Morrison - Author of LORNE: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live
Let's see. You know, you know, they didn't, they didn't know what to do with the lumber back in Canada in 1954. He has a lot of facts. The steel, the steel manufacturer didn't care for the lumber at all. Yeah. He is like this. And he made it one of his comedy films. Rhythms. He did it as Conehead. Conehead has a lot of that talk in it. Long, free consciousness kind of speeches.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Susan Morrison - Author of LORNE: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live
DQ. Oh boy. Don't even mention. Oh, skits gets him going. It's kind of interesting to me. I'm just thinking out loud to myself is that because of his hallowed place and his Mount Rushmore, you know, thing that's been going on for the 50th, um, He had left for five years, did a lot of things, left SNL in 1980. None of them really landed. Comes back in 85, has a rough season. And then I meet him.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Susan Morrison - Author of LORNE: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live
So it's part of his comedy.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Susan Morrison - Author of LORNE: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live
Or so tonight. At nine o'clock, Chevy will be there. Chevy Chase? No, no, no. Chevy Wilson. One of the Pauls. You'll find with Susan, she's that thing of like, you know, she wants to please and yet she has an eagle eye. And she sees what others don't. Bill Hader is funny too. Bill Hader. Yeah. Bill has a great, Lauren, you have different, you just are very much very quiet.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Susan Morrison - Author of LORNE: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live
You know, and... Come back with my show.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Susan Morrison - Author of LORNE: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live
All right. Telling. Telling. Right. It's that thing of like, I never met anyone who talked like that, you know, but I do believe that that's what I'm kind of curious about. And so you, you went on this journey and it's not so much just like what makes Lauren tick, but it's sort of like, where's the, where's the marshmallow inside this, this veneer, you know?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Susan Morrison - Author of LORNE: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live
Cause I think he wants to be one of the guys and he, I think he is very observant and wonders what people are thinking of him. and gets easily wounded in a way, but he's also so resilient. I mean, he's Trumpian in just that way, which we probably talked about. Just keeping the show consistent, now 50 years, we have data now, a fucking half century. Where did this guy come from? Who is he?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Susan Morrison - Author of LORNE: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live
Will that be answered when I buy the book?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Susan Morrison - Author of LORNE: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live
So probably in this whole 50 years, that was, would it be a Nate? I went to state school, his Nader or something.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Susan Morrison - Author of LORNE: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live
I always thought it was people who started out in comedy and just saw that it wasn't going to happen for them, and then they became a writer or a director or a producer. It's a more consistent job. I did not realize when I was on Saturday Night Live that every single writer essentially wanted to be in front of the camera. I didn't realize that.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Susan Morrison - Author of LORNE: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live
Robert Smigel, they all want to be, they all want to be, trust me. Conan. I love that kind of Lauren, you know, well, do you think Michael B here is visiting? It's not very far from the bleachers to where the cameras are. He has so many sayings. It's a little short walk. Yeah, that's funny. But when you do Lorne, you get to kind of inhabit Lorne.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Susan Morrison - Author of LORNE: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live
And I do think because the show is magnificent chaos, that's also part of his methodology. He'll be the calm. Was anybody angry?

I think in the end of the day, and there's been even current things that I won't mention with different people, that's important to Lauren. And maybe it's how he reacts to other people in his life. You show respect. You want to give Lauren the chance to say, I think you should do it without me. If you started with him and he gave you your break, then you do kind of have that feeling.

Did we talk about just, well, obviously you mentioned Lauren hacked life. That's the new phrase. Like you go to buttermilk and you ski, you know, and then you're in St. Barts and you go to Wimbledon and Paul and I would often go out and just buy socks. You go downtown. So, and he did pace himself. That's part of the half century is he does pace himself.

He knows when it's important for him to lock in. And that's especially this Saturday, that 30 minutes is where everything's made. And the whole show is based on ADD and procrastination. So at Lorne's core, does he have both those elements? Because I do.

He does his Lorne, and a lot of it is just good old-fashioned wisdom, well-crafted. We talk about the one that sort of took me by surprise, about this generation or whatever, snowflakes or anxiety or whatever. We were raised in the wilderness, and we got civilized.

I think Lauren has a classic characteristic of somebody who has power in a meeting, and that is if things are going around the room, and then Lauren will sort of sum up something or say something that's not exactly on topic but related to the topic in very few words. And it's like, I just think, I don't know, this is a hackneyed one, but it just needs to breathe or whatever.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Susan Morrison - Author of LORNE: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live
Make sure that the audience knows you're actually performing. Don't just do it to each other. So that's kind of one of his superpowers. And that's really important with the suits and universal and stuff. I add that. I was at parties with the suits and Lauren. He doesn't talk a lot, but when he does, it's usually, it's pretty hard or it's interesting, you know?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade

You're going to hear something that's a little shocking, a little surprising. How's that for a tease? But if we do a deep dive... The man, the moment, Lorne Michaels, based on the book and what she learned by interviewing. I got interviewed. My quotes are probably silly. I got interviewed, yeah. Got interviewed. Everyone got interviewed. Everyone talked.

Susan Morrison - Author of LORNE: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live
I know, because I said to Lauren just in the fall when I was there, I said, you're like an AI. Like you have downloaded the show in your brain. That's a good way to put it. So Lauren's blink is the best blink because he can't even... He's going back to, you know, Danny did that in my early days. Similar to a Chevy idea, you know. So that's why his blink is really good.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade

He kind of knows, he can't even fully describe what's wrong in a way. But his spider sense, because he's downloaded the show.

Susan Morrison - Author of LORNE: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live
Yeah. And he was really kind of right. It was just, you know, it was Joe Montana. Yeah. And Walter Payton. And I'm doing a church chat. And so it just became vaudevillian sexual innuendos. Like we're playing football. Squeeze between your legs. It was just a lot of that. And Lorne was like... you know, does it really, it was like, you know, and he didn't want Churchley for a while.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Susan Morrison - Author of LORNE: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live
I think she needs a name, you know, and stuff like that. And he didn't really like the superior dance. He wanted to be more grounded in reality, but like, he never told me yay or nay, but he, the, the, The Joe Montana one, because maybe it was lowbrow or something, it was later in the show, but it killed so hard that the old-timer sound man said, I've been here for 20 years.

Right, sure. Right. And Lorne is, he's, he's open to, if it works, it works. I mean, he just loves a laugh. So if, you know, that, that makes him so high, you know, and, and you see the, how he still just suffers. If the show's going a little flat, you see it in his body language, his attitude.

Susan Morrison - Author of LORNE: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live
The one thing people ask me today about the show that I don't have an answer for, just a basic answer, I guess, but how numerologically the cast has started to expand and then become an expansionist cast. So, like, 20 cast members. So people will ask me, why don't they have all those cast members? And I go, well, I guess a safety net or did he ever talk about that?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Susan Morrison - Author of LORNE: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live
It's very hard. I talked to some of the young cast members because if you're not in it a lot and then you get in there and then you maybe flub a line or don't totally score, then you go back again. Where I think I was part of the last small cast. And then when David and Sandler and Farley all, you know, we got some really great people to add to us and some left.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Susan Morrison - Author of LORNE: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live
But me and Phil and John, I think we're just the three major male sketch players. So I was in four things the first show or five things. Yeah. I have a lot of empathy for the cast members that are in the dugout. They're on the bench. They're not playing.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Susan Morrison - Author of LORNE: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live
In my age group, you remember that when George Carlin was on Ed Sullivan in a suit and tie and a short haircut. And then he was like so a symbol of this change in one lane of it when he became the hippie long hair and all that. So there was a whole, I don't want to call it counterculture, but Laugh-In maybe was the last water cooler sketch show that was so different, of course, than SNL.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade

Of course. Well, I did ask and I was I was sincere about it when they asked me to do Biden. I said, does Mikey still want to do it? Does anybody want to do it? And, you know, and they said no. Because Biden was sort of a thankless task. It was a difficult one. And there was the whole energy around, should you make fun of his mental acuity or not? And threading that needle.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Susan Morrison - Author of LORNE: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live
So I was totally aware of that. And they're all incredibly sweet. They seem sweeter than we were before. But they're very nice people. But we had Dan Aykroyd come in and do Bob Dole. That was it, once. And then it was all us playing it. So I don't know. I mean, Lorne has his thing. I don't think he likes when people leave. I think when Belushi and Aykroyd left, it kind of left him flat-footed.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade

Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Susan Morrison - Author of LORNE: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live
Kind of a stretcher. Well, there's an element. There's like a soft element of that now, you know? Yeah, a little bit. Because I would want an answer. It goes down. We'll let you know when Lorne gets here. It's 4 o'clock. That's right. Lorne knows how to pace himself and when to lock in. Yeah. So he's doing a soft version of that, you know?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade

Yeah, when he'll come in and what he might say.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade

I don't know when this podcast airs, but I bet you, Lorne, he is... He's only human. I mean, he will be kind of a little bit relieved when this whole hoopla is over because we can't, unless it was the mic drop, the show ends, he knows that pretty soon, okay, we have 10 more fucking shows to do.

Well, they didn't care. It was anti-slick and late, so right out of the bat. I'm just a little curious. Sorry, David, did you have something to say? Not at all. I don't like to interrupt him. Did you see the movie Saturday Night? And what was your reaction to it? I mean, obviously it's trying to get a feeling rather than a linear story. Yeah. But how did you feel about that?

Susan Morrison - Author of LORNE: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live
And it's just sort of a comprehensive look at Lorne Michaels through his childhood, all the way through his travails, seasons that were rougher than others, and on and on. So it's a very interesting conversation.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Susan Morrison - Author of LORNE: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live
Well, I went into it with kind eyes because I knew it was an impossible thing to really capture. So we interviewed Jason, the director. Yeah. And there were things that I really liked. You know, in real time that there probably wasn't a bulletin board on 8H with like 80 sketches on it right before air or that Lorne Michaels was the update guy until right before air.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Susan Morrison - Author of LORNE: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live
So you have to kind of give into it and see, did it capture the essence? Yes, you do. I wasn't there then. They weren't famous. The show wasn't famous because as it evolved, no one would go ice skating right before the show. Most of the show is disappointment, even in the best seasons and the best shows. I'd say maybe if you can get one out of five Great sketch, pretty good.

Susan Morrison - Author of LORNE: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live
It looked counterculture. And I did love when, was it J.K. Simmons? He played Milton Berle and he's doing a song and dance number. And that was a really interesting juxtaposition because the variety shows, everything was shiny and clean and 8-H still looks the same. It's kind of beat up. And if you walk in there without an audience, you're like, it's kind of a shithole. Everyone thinks it's tiny.

Well, funny story. I was born in... No, I'm kidding. Going too far back. I went with Schneider. It's funny because you were mentioning New York clubs. I've never played them. And they had us audition off a young comedian special. They brought us in to audition at probably Catch Rising Star. If that sounds familiar.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
And on a tough night and they all came in. From Downey to maybe Smigel to maybe Franken to not Lorne. I don't think Lorne is there. But I remember it was me, Schneider, Tom Kenny. I always say this like it's negative to Tom Kenny. It's not negative to Tom Kenny. He was a San Francisco act that was very just broader.

yeah but anyway he's so rich uh but dennis miller was there too and he was helping and you know before i went on he goes i tell dana he goes spud you know you don't want to kill too hard they don't want some polished fucking road hack and i go so don't do good he's like all right three two one i'm like wait dennis what so anyway i took his advice did not do well His advice was the right thing.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
It just, in the whole complexities of it all, I didn't really get it. They were just really looking at the writing of the jokes for me to be a writer, maybe a performer later. I thought it was to be a performer. So I'm like, yeah, I give them the whole JonBenet routine, really amping it up. And then afterwards I got off early because I said, I think I was supposed to do 20. I did 12.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
Maybe I think Schneider went off early. Yeah. But Tom Kenny did do very well, but Rob and I got the call to come in and write and perform.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
I just knew it was a tough night, but it was, it was pretty sparse, you know, and it was probably half, it's probably 15 from SNL and 15 people. So regular people. So they don't laugh a lot, but they're just looking at sort of, you know, it's the same way I am now. I can watch a comic and even if not killing, I almost don't hear it. I just go, Ooh, that was a good one. Ooh.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
You know, like I like it. Who cares if they like it? I was like, I think that's good and well-written or something about it. You can, You can tell, like, name that tune in two jokes. You go, I think this guy's got some game.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
And so you know how it is. So at a certain point, you know that. But at that point, I didn't. But luckily, some of the jokes, they kind of liked how I put them together. And that really got me in as a writer that was not ready to be a writer with my legal path.

Did you ever feel weird about taking a stand-up bit and putting it into a sketch? You feel like you're kind of wasting it and it's a selfish decision to go, do I try to get this on there and then I can never use it again, but it would help here?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade

that uh fear because as you boys know you know you gotta get stuff on yeah or it's a very bad feeling there you know that's a good way to put it i'm not getting things wrong and people start ignoring you and it's like oh no they go you're not even a formidable opponent here you're just yeah you want to get on so it of course goes into the show if it can

He was, I thought he did great. I thought for Conan, it was a little edgier than normal for him to say like it's halftime. Usually Kendrick would be calling Drake a pedophile. I'm like a pedophile joke is kind of a lot for the Oscars and Conan. I was fine with it, but I thought, Oh good. At least he's out of the box a little bit.

Sometimes they tamp down a few things at different shows. They go, I don't know if that's what we do here, that kind of thing.

He would have probably freaked out. He doesn't hear that every day.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
At Chase Stadium? Oh, Bowery Ball. No.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
Were you sitting or was it standing alone or was it sitting? You get to sit.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
There was no... Well, you stand every song anyway because it's a hit.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
I think Cheers was more considered just a great sitcom, and Seinfeld was a little off-kilter, not just a sitcom. It was like sort of a different... thing going on there.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
Does he say expand in the room? Like, like some ideas are a little more than that. Like he'll go, I like it so far. What else is on there? Or just go write it.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
You, you wrote on so many though. I've been looking at, you did Modern Family also Hacks, right?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
I think I saw Hannah at that party the other night. I don't know her, but I think I saw her walk by. Is she possibly taller than I would think? She seemed like, I thought she was tiny.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
Yeah. I didn't even put that together for so long.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
Love Lorraine. I saw Lorraine at the thing. Oh, yeah. 50th, yeah.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
I thought about the 100th, what I'm going to do.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
When people say ba-dum-bum, I literally, it's like cutting your balls off. It's such a weird move to say this is a bad joke, you're stupid, and then they look cool or something.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
I felt like a story that I when that's in the ether. Now, when I'm out and there's a situation. Mm hmm. I almost think of Curb. I was out somewhere and this might even be an episode, but I said bye to everyone. It took me forever to get out to the front and say bye, bye, bye. And then I forgot my keys inside and I go, I'm not going back in. I cannot go through there again.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
And just that awkwardness of like, I just left, but they think I'm coming in for, I ditched them or something. And so it just made me think that's one of those weird things that Makes you think of that show. You go, I could picture him in some awkward situation.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
But every episode I watch, I think, oh, this is such a good little weird curveball, like just everyday thing, but they make a whole meal out of it.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
Well, not really. I mean, it's funner with people that have been there because we talked a little bit about it. But what is your experience of it? You can say anything you want.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
I think everyone I talked to had shittier seats than they thought they were going to have. Yeah.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
I said, Lovitz, were you at the American Girl store for that too? He goes, no, I was at Banana Republic. That was very close to Radio City. Jealous. Yeah, no, the 50th was a blast to just goof around. But the weekly events of that was that night, what you went to, which was, I think, more fun than people thought. And then the next night, there was like a little toast thing.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
And then the next night was the show. So I did get a lot of it. That's why I wasn't at the party forever the night of the show. because I think it was a Sunday, and also I'd just done everything with everybody all week, and I thought, there's a three-story party. I don't think I could do it that long.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
Did you go to that thing, or did you skip it all?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
I mean, yeah, you should throw it right up there in that cabinet.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
Also, is it interesting? Go from, you go from SNL, you go to Seinfeld and you're like, Everywhere feels like it just couldn't be as good. Then you get on a show like Hacks, it's a great show. And you go, okay, that feels good. Modern Family's a great show.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
Just clown on everything going on. That was the same thing. I went to some Oscar thing the other night and zip right to the comedians and then just sort of make fun of the whole situation.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
It sounds preposterous, but it's true. Yeah. I've heard that. I've heard that. Yeah.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
The Pipsqueaks twinsies. Two little pixies with a dream. We just did a corporate together. It was pretty fun. We never done one. It was pretty fun.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
And we have, it's a little chaotic, but it, you know, cause we threw it at him late. If we could have had a microphone out there or something, but it's just fun because they just, they also want to see a picture of us together or something, you know, whatever it do out together. And it made it more fun for us too.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
Yeah. It was super fun. They'd never had comedy and they were like, Oh, this is great. So the sound was good.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
That's, that is important. You don't hear muffled jokes.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
You can't get laughs out there? We're like, I don't think they can hear me. Oh, is that why? Yeah, that is why. They can't hear me. People are yelling, I can't hear you.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
Well, that's the number one fear, right? It's public speaking. It's way up there. Yes.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer

Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
Danny goes, actually, I got a light. I'm going to run in the back row.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
God, there's guys at the comedy store, they get the light and it means now start your act. Because I'm like wrapping up and they're like, what else is going on? I'm like, no, there's no, what else is going on? You're doing your last bit and getting off. Not like, what else is going on?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
You're done. That should be a special. What else is going on? That's a good special.

It's such an omission at this point. It looks weird.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
It's all about the same now, but it was more differentiated.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
You know, can we talk? Elizabeth Taylor dog.

Huge writing career. Seinfeld. From Seinfeld to Hacks presently, where they're winning Emmys over. Hacks is always doing well. Yeah.

Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
Something like, how do you like New York?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
event you didn't want to go to in the first place by caroley for we laughed a lot during this one because she's a stand-up that you knew in the old days i've known her recently and i just saw her at the laugh factory actually so very funny uh great storyteller exactly what we want in this show
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
Me too. Me too. I say that all the time.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Carol Leifer
And it's a little stinky, but you bring it back.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
Okay. We've got, uh, Mark Marin, Dana, who I see a lot of the comedy store comedian, obviously a huge podcaster, one of the OG podcasters that had always, you could always hear he's still going with it, but you know, it was all the big names, all the interesting stuff. Um, and I see him do stand up all the time and I run into him a lot. He's a good dude.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
Yeah. You were like Bitcoin. Like no one cared.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
And it's always the manager is even older than the old guy.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
But... Wait, who had the country album? Ringo?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
Saw some pussy, wrote a song. Yeah. We know all about that.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
They just think. What about the guy that married his car? You know.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
Oh, that's good. Well, you know, I think Arnold Schwarzenegger would say that. He'd say, you'd ask him a question like, what happened with those maids? And he goes, this movie is unbelievable. He's like, because you can't use anything but what he says, and he doesn't even acknowledge your question.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
Does he ever talk about the maid? We love Arnold.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
Once everything came out and he finally goes, all right, let's go bench. In the kid, I was like trying to meet him in the middle. Like I work out.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
The whole time, he's not listening to our questions. He's just staring at our physique going, hmm. Look at that rib cage.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
I have another question for Mark. This is my second one. Mark, do you think... you don't remember this. You were in the movie Joker. Now, do you think that, did you, do you think what happened to the second Joker in your humble opinion?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
I heard about it. I couldn't get through the poster.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
I think that's one of those things as, as I backtrack, I think it's one of the things where great movie, Dana was about to say some comments, but the same thing, great movie. And then it's, it's just crazy if you can do literally anything you want. And he just goes, let me just try this will work or won't work.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
Those are hard by the way. They are kind of at home.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
Yeah. I can't believe you got him out there because I can't believe you got me out there. I can't believe you got Todd Glass out there. So Obama was a bigger one.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
Yeah. I had a girl say it to my face. she said it was just an I did an old movie and then I had to kiss a girl I won't say who I had to kiss her and I said hey before and I don't know I've never done this on camera like she goes just kiss me like I'm your girlfriend just anything I don't care and I said alright so I I just kiss her not Not crazily.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
I just kiss her, but I touch her cheek and kiss her. And they go, cut. And we're all like, okay. And the director comes up and she says, she's not even one foot away from my face. She goes, can you tell him not to touch my face? Wow. And him was me. She did the correct way. She told the director, but I just made me think of that because I was like, I was horrified.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
I'm like, oh, because, you know, kissing someone is so... It's so scary.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
And I wasn't like a super French-a-thon. I was just trying to like give her a little mega... You know, you just kiss a little bit. It's nothing crazy. It's a cute little movie. Nobody gets hurt.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
So you kissed Bob De Niro. I got like... I did.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
But were you scared? I did a quick scene in the old days with William Dafoe in my very, very old days in a part that Dana turned down. And...
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
during SNL and well Paul Schrader was the director and I was almost sick from nerves because I'm good and Willem Dafoe super cool did one scene same thing he wouldn't remember in a million years but of course you get your nerves just ramp up mine were it's De Niro it's still no matter what it's totally I felt okay about it because I don't know like I think I'm getting better at acting but the benefit I talked to Willem Dafoe not a great time not a great time
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
Not a great time. We've had some toughies on here, too. Some are toughies.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
Was it a ratings drop so much you pulled a muscle?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
That's what happens when you go, hey, Bob, if you ever want to buzz over to the Glendale, why don't you pop in?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
funny fucker that yeah i like him yeah oh my god so fucking funny but i was nervous about that but i i just did the best i could it's all you can do right does anybody call you after your podcast and who has asked for the most to be taken out don't people go take this out take that or do you say no
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
I see ones and now it's like full sex life. People just have nowhere else to go. So now it's like, here's everything in my life. Here's about my plastic surgery. Here, follow me and my camera into my plastic surgery and my kidney operation. What are we doing?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
Well, Rich, it's no offense to him. I was just laughing. Whoever has to follow Obama is just going to be a tough sled. That's right.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
But some people are like, it almost seems like they're making up horrible things because they're running out of content. I know. They have a big announcement and you're like, it happens to be your 100th episode. Yeah.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
You never really know what they pick up. Sometimes you do an interview and there's nothing.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
He's a guy that my dad used to tell me, now this is common. And he was funny. And then when Robin was like, oh, this guy. But I couldn't appreciate it growing up. I just thought he was funny. I didn't know how good. You can never really tell. I thought they were all those characters.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
It sounds like a joke, though. Johnny, Johnny, the show started, okay?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
And like that everyone was drunk was funny. They were like, he goes, oh, I had a few drinks backstage.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
What does he say? And look at the black guy over here.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
The Dean Martin, those are the coolest ones.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
So you roast Chevy. And I think back then I was thinking, wait, this is the first roast I'm seeing where not everyone is great friends with them. So it's a very odd vibe. I don't think they could have gotten. They couldn't get people. Yeah, we didn't know that back then. I mean, I just thought I used to see Dean Martin and they go, hey, there's my buddy over here. And here comes Red Butt. Yeah.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
And I think he had one early. He's a good friend of mine.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
How big a crowd? It's not a big crowd, is it?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
So, so that's, but you know, I think what happened with that was he put in all that work and was very forward thinking. And I think got out right before the money, maybe, or does he still do it?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
I did one. I wouldn't get roasted. It's actually good money.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
I said I'd host one. I don't even know why. Because all you have to do is be in the vicinity and you're fucked, you know?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
So, I mean, I remember that I found that out because I was watching one and they go, speaking of anal warts, Andy Dick's here tonight. And then they put in the crowd and they put a spotlight. He goes, wait, me? I came to watch. I'm not even on the fucking dais. Like, I didn't know it's fair game. They're like, no, we know where you're sitting. We got a camera ready for you.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
I got lucky because I was- I was the host, so I was going to get it, but who came in at the last minute? We had a fallout and Coulter. And so afterwards, Jeff Ross said, you know, you had probably the most jokes that you were going to get hammered with that you weren't ready for. And at the last second, everyone shifted those to Ann Coulter. And I was like, oh, thank God. I only got some.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
They all sting. I hated them all. I'm not good at getting roasted. I'm like, it's like a thousand stabs, you know, death cuts.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
That's it. And she was Teflon. She walked up with her book and just started plugging it. In fairness, I don't think she knew what she was getting into. She thought it was like some sort of promotion. She brought her book up the day. Everyone's basically saying, hey, fuck you. It was pretty rough.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
Yeah. But Jewel was there getting funny jokes by Jewel. Anyway, overall, it was a pretty fun roast. And we can talk about some of this. I can take a shot.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
No, I have a glass jaw. I can't. I was out there going, and then I wrote it down. I hate you now. I hate you now. I hate you now.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
Yeah, that's kind of... What's funny is I used to think a podcast, because he had it in my friend's car shop upstairs, which he just rented, which was perfect. It was perfect.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
Yeah, someone. I think I look to see if there's enough feedback
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
positive or negative sometimes you can try to have constructive criticism if they say yeah you're always doing this or you always do this or yeah i wish you would change it and then you go god enough people said that something's up you know i have but if it's just random i get a lot of snipers just randomly almost almost 100 of the time if i answer them or i dm them no no don't do that say we got a problem they always go oh my god i'm your biggest fan or they're nicer that's right that's right some might just come kill me so it's really a dangerous game to be honest
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
favored alien and didn't overwatch it it could probably be still pretty jarring whereas three days of the condor you're kind of like all right i know it's jarring well that's robin redford and who you know go maybe was it fade down away yeah condor where are you condor in the pocket i didn't know what that movie's about and i watched it honestly a year ago i i always heard about it oh it's a weird name i'm like why would i go to this fun fun cool movie
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
Did he get fired and said, okay, I'm just going to do it on here kind of thing? It wasn't a 97.1 maybe?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
I thought that was McConaughey. That's not McConaughey?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
His old names are so good. Gary Busey. Good.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
He's good in a lot. He does a lot of stuff.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
Busboys is a beating. We're doing it right now. It's tough. It's hard to do because it's small budget indie, but it's super fun because... Is it small budget indie? Yeah. Well, it's just us. We put it together. We put money in and we just said we just want to go try it and then decide what to do with it. That's scary. Like, don't go pitch it.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
He is a handyman. That's funny. He's good with a tool. Oh, yeah.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
We might do it straight to video. I mean, straight to consumer. Straight to video, yeah.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
But I was like, I got a little bit of a tsunami warning because I remember I thought Corolla's, I think I went on there a little early, where I was like, before the real podcast thing was sort of hitting, which it was sort of a slow, I could get a feel for it before most people because everyone else has just got their head doing their work and they do normal jobs, but
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
Maybe to the DiNunzio brothers at the Funny Bone? Isn't that somebody? Yeah, it is. I used to send my tape to the Funny Bone, my half-inch VHS, and they're like, they must have a pile of tapes. I'm like, it's been a whole day. Are they going to watch it or not? They don't give a fuck.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
Well, Mark, before you let you go, I got to ask you about one movie and then we'll ask Dane if he has any wrap ups, but, uh, You've been very nice to talk. I see Mark at the comedy store now and then we always have a little chat, a couple of laughs and then we get our $48. We get the fuck out of there. Yeah.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
And I, Oh, someone said today that to Leslie, you were very, very good and they loved you in it and they heard I was talking to you.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
I started to go, oh, no, is this something? And then I said, I'm going to wait until it's a little late, then we're going to try one.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
Marc Maron
Oh, okay. Thank you for the people that waited till the end. All right.

SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
Dana, I'm going to put on lipstick to start.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
He was in the audience.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
No, because I had such a juicy spot next to Bill Murray and then Bill Murray didn't come into the audience for his cutaway. And I was like, oh, I wanted to bullshit with him the whole God dang three and a half hours.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
Please. Okay. Gave him a snuggie.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
It was more nerve wracking because I woke up and then the room circus didn't give me my breakfast. It was a very nice hotel. I'm not really blaming them. It just gets chaotic. They go, oh, Mr. Spade, we'll do anything you want. What's your breakfast? Oh, make your eggs fluffy. Never came. They never picked up again. So I'm going there like eating it. filthy happy.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
No, how about this? So here I go after the Radio City concert thing and I'm supposed to meet Chris for dinner and he goes, Now we're going to the Mark Hotel. I go, or I thought we're going downtown. He goes, no, just come here. We got a seat for you. So I go in, naturally, Paul McCartney's there. So it makes me even more sick. Can't get away from the guy. Can't get away from the guy.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
Guy's around too much. So it's along my side is me and then Rock and then Larry, David, and Paul, right? So now there's like 12 people. So I can't really see him. So now it's the sickening, cranking my head. Yeah. He doesn't, I'm a plus one, obviously. So he's being very sweet, but it's hard to see him killing my neck.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
And then every time he starts telling a story, honestly, about yesterday or literally everything you want to hear from him, the waiter was over helping us. There's like a team of seven. And so- Huh?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade

Oh, here's a sketch because literally he goes, and the best thing about yesterday was the guy's like coconut shrimp. And he puts his arm in and I go, yes, thank you. That's for them.

Literally, it was like an assembly line of arms to block stories. And I'm like, guy, guy, I just want to hear this guy say literally anything. I'm a contest winner. And nope, nope, couldn't shut up, couldn't stop. They're all like this, starting gates. That guy's water's down a quarter inch. That's funny.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
No, but I did hear some bits and pieces and I couldn't have been, it was the funnest time of the whole thing, of the whole weekend.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
Well, it's like a whole history of your life and everyone's there. It's almost like a birthday party. And then everyone says, oh, it's going to be the 50th. No one says anything about after the 50th. So it's like, now what?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
Yeah.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
I don't go to the buffet, Dana. Don't you have little snacks backstage waiting for you? Oh, in my green room at the thing? Yeah. Yeah. There's a croissant sort of on a warmer with ham and stuff that you probably didn't eat when you did this same gig about four years ago, they said.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
Oh, it's crazy in there, yeah. They got a one window cracked open. It's getting hot. So... I will tell you, by the way, the stage, Sarah, at the Good Nights, Dana, was like a crowded subway. Once you got on there, you couldn't get off because everyone smashed.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
I was drowning. No, someone picked me up. I do not like to get picked up. I'll tell you that right now. And it cracked my neck.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
Don't pick me up. And I'm not going to say names. But you have to be a little more famous if you're going to pick me up at the good nights at the 15th. You cannot. If it's Paul, give me a ladder. I'll get on your shoulders. That's fine.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
I will tell you right after this. And I didn't like it. So I walked off the stage. And who did I run into? Kim K doesn't even go on stage. I go, go take my spot. She's like, I feel weird going up there. I'm like.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
Yeah, I said, Sarah's up there. I mean, I guess they're letting everybody go up there, so just go.

Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
By the way, we have a hot question for you. Where was Sydney Sweeney, your best friend from Hooters? Because Hooters closed, so we thought of you. Oh.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
What happened? Oh, look at you guys.

Were you at the game when it was Canada and they started beating the shit out of each other immediately? First time. Eight fights in, no, three fights in nine seconds. America versus Canada, right?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
Because they're just dudes and they all get in fights.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
Your shoes are knives. That's true. There's no kicking allowed. Let's talk more quickly before we dump you. What about your... The sketch we did together was fun.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
We did a New York musical, it was called. And Colin, Jost, and Mulaney wrote it.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
They told me, they go, why are you not at the singing at the end? I go, oh, I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I'm just sitting in the audience at that point. And they go, no, get back up there and grab a flag.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
No, I stood next to you and they go, stand right there and Sarah will tell you what to do. I go, she doesn't know anything.

And there's people behind you just up your ass. Like, we were stacked. They're right behind you in chairs. And then you're at the table like this. Oh, I can't move. It's...

Are you a drag racer?

Oh, she's leaving. By the way, I was going to say you and Marcello both go, here's my number and text me. And then you go, you both say, by the way, I don't really answer and I don't do it. I'm like, um, this is, this is your pitch to text you. Believe me, I'm vibrant, fun, and interesting. So if I text you, it's exciting for you.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
Yeah, I know. They literally like, because it's so easy. It's not a band. They're like... Yeah. We've got your water. Yeah. And your microphone. And I'm like, right. They're like, so are you good?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
Oh, you mean if I call, I don't think I ever call you though. That's a big step.

SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
All right, go.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
God, there's just no answers. Because it's so, it's such a pressure cooker. And every week they go, okay, you just finished a show. Shane Gillis, what do you got? And you're like, what do I got? I just got off the 50th. But at least you had a week off. But what about when they're back to back to back? New host, Ariana Grande. What do you got? You're like, I mean, starting from scratch?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
I don't know.

Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
America's on to that trick. They're like, yes, we know it's not memorized. Even in my New York one, I'm standing there fucking around so much in rehearsal, I forget to go, by the way, when we really do this, which card am I on? What am I doing? And Melania's like, ah.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
No, but Pete was texting and I'm like, because you know that military first AD or the stage manager from the Marines? He's like, yeah, hey, hey guys. And at the end I go, are there three dumber cast members than us three right now? He's like, no, you guys don't listen. And he explains how to get off. They're going to push this in. Nathan Lane runs out. You got it? And I'm like, yep.

SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
Do I say listen a lot? Yeah. Sickening. Do I really?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
And then we all do it wrong. And he goes, guys, You're not doing it." And I'm like, I know, it's not sinking in. And I go, Pete's got his phone and we didn't have phones. And I said, that must drive everyone extra crazy.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
By the way, just have a quick announcement before we get rid of Sarah.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
She's got a show to do. How many things are you in as of now? Yeah, Sarah.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
Oh, yuck.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
I was legit in the show this week and I was legit worried about it. And he's like, I don't even know what legit means anymore.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
Oh, I didn't see it.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade

We're looking at you, Ding Dong. We can cut it out.

SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
Oh, look at this quarter-inch tape of gray with no sound.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
No, it's a good haircut. So quickly, before Sarah stays longer. I don't care if you overstay your welcome. She's lied to the show. So my tour, they go, you have to have a name for your dumb next standup tour. Like Sarah, you probably have a name for yours, do you?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
Okay.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
So I thought it was Sarah Squirm, come catch some germs. But anyway, so mine was, I don't have one. I can't think of anything dopey enough.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
And then they go, we're extending you one week and then we got to put it out there. So it was the day I got home from SNL. And so they go, what is it? I can't think. And I go- I got a feel for this. I got a feel for it.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
Huh?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
Because people were like, oh, I like when you're in the audience and you go, I got a feel for it. And then I go, just say that.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
That's going to trend.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
That was a good idea to throw me in the audience. Because it was such a long sketch. Yeah. I'm like, this one's more about the singing. It's all good.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
First of all, they call me my real name. Where's Spade? And then he goes, he went in the audience. He went back to the audience. And then you just said what? Oh, I said, yeah, I got a feel for it. But you kind of went like that with your hand. Yeah, I go, I got a feel for it.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
Dismissive.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade

Oh, yeah. To our Fantasy Springs. It'll be fun to see us. Then we might do a little Q&A at the end. Just...

SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
You're like this. Yeah.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
All right, Sarah, we're going to let you go back to your rehearsal because you've been very sweet to hang out with us.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
Well, I said we'll steal you for 30 minutes because you're the most fun person, and then we get back to us, and the ratings plummet when you're gone.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
Who was your squad that you were talking to? I talked to you when I was leaving and you were waiting by the door. But you looked nice. You had your hair all pixied up.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
Get some Qs and As out of the way. There's so many hot takes. Really try to throw it. Hot takes. Hot takes. I didn't even get to the part about Diddy's lawyer quitting. Did his lawyer quit, Dan? I don't know if you've been keeping up with this.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
I didn't expect you to agree, but okay, go ahead. Who were you sitting at? Were you at the cool table? No, it was complicated. It was three stories. What? They're like, go to the fifth floor if you want to go to get some crab cakes. I'm like, I kept going higher and higher, going, where's the fun part? They're like, higher. I was like, God dang.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
I just saw everybody all week, though. If they didn't have three nights of stuff to do, at the 40th, that was the party to go to because we only had that night. And so everyone was like, we're going to milk it all out. But this one, we had a fun first night, a fun second night, and then rehearsal was fun all day. And so I had to get up and fly. And I was like, I got to feel for it.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
We were all about to pile in for the good nights, and he went into that. And once it was, I was like, oh, snap. He's bringing it.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
Yeah. You know, when he came on, when I was there and he did the Chris Farley show and he goes, and Chris goes, do you remember when you said the love you take is equal to the love you make? And he goes, yes, Chris. And he goes, is that true? And Paul goes, oh, that was so funny. I mean, I guess I would like to think.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
Yeah, you said something dumb.

There's a rumor Ryan Reynolds took two gift bags when he left.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
I don't know. Did he do a press conference? I just think it's odd that he's quitting because he also handled Osama bin Laden. So he's had some rough personalities, let's say.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
No, what about that speech Tina gave at that toast where she's like, Lauren, I'm going to give you a 50-year review of your performance here. She's like, you've missed five years out of 45. That's not horrible. You've had 19,000 tardies. She gave a great speech, David.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
Okay, here we go. This better be a good one. Let's see what it is. Oh, this is the fog I'm worried about. Have you heard about the fog? I've only seen the horror film about it. I like it.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
Is that true?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
Nuremberg?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
Yeah. I mean, they're saying they catch it in rainwater. You can turn that off. But they say they do these reports on some of the stuff. They keep finding stuff in this fog and the rain. I'm telling you, if it's like the chemtrails, all these things I read about, If there's any truth to them, people are going to flip out. I'm not even joking. Like, not even like, hey, we're mad.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
It's like, we're going to merc somebody. If those chemtrails are real, which I keep seeing stuff, which makes me, I kind of believe in them. There, I said it. I kind of believe I'm a crazy person. I believe also the earth is square. I'm not even a flat earther. I'm like a new one. Octagon.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
There's a lot of things about that that are iffy. There's 9-11 stuff. By the way, you can flip me on anything. You show me a 30-second TikTok. I'm like, oh, yeah, I'm sold. But some of it's pretty compelling on different things. Some of it I go, this is horseshit. But there's a couple things out there where I go – I want to ask questions. What's going on? It's a little too blurry.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
Like, Hey, this was this way moving along. And you go, yeah, all your life. Then you go, well, we don't have any way to look into that. We're just told one thing. So let's go back and look at some stuff. And you go, yeah, they were right. Or you go, I don't know.

Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
Yeah, you're right. Thanks. When girls, I tell them, they go, hey, they get to my room, they go, you said you were 5'11". I go, I am? They go, why do you have cat stairs to your bed? I go, don't worry about it. Okay. That's from the old, that's from the last guy lived here.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade

He's a real beaut. The dog that whispered to Son of Sam to kill people. He handled the dog for a while. Anyway, I wish them all the best. We have a due process in America. Why do I feel like Sarah Sherman will not be able to figure out how to do this? She's running late, which is so funny. She goes, I'm five away. I'm on the train.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
By the way, are we going to cut this part out and say that the Lorne thing, do you want to address it or do you just want to keep it the way it was?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
No, I mean, it's just keeping it alive, though. I think people are going to start to understand.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
That's what I don't listen to. I can't hear it. I can't hear myself.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
She was doing script tweaks on the movie. Yeah, everyone bit hard on that one. I thought you were kidding, obviously. And then when I kept seeing articles about it, I go, oh, all we do is talk about stupid things in the show. It's all...
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
It did sound kind of ridiculous, but it sounded kind of true also where you go, maybe, I don't know. But that was, I did like getting, because usually every week after the show airs, we get some articles about something that we talked about the show. We never know what. It's like, oh, that, that. And that one was, there was a couple of different things, but that one was the most I heard about.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
But it was still funny. All right, one more. Let's do two more.

School buses, bobbing, bobbing. He'd come in hungover, and even sometimes he'd say to them, There's no way I can make this, so see you at the hospital. But I got to do it. I signed up for it. They're giving me 20 grand or something. And then he does it, and it's like the slow-motion wipeout like at Caesar Palace. You're like, oh, my God. He breaks 100 bones.

Oh, we were going to tell everyone our first big gig together, Fantasy Springs in Palm Springs, right?
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
No, I just wanted to give a story that his lawyer quit. And I was like, it must be either he heard something that was a little too rough and just said, oh, I got to tap out. Because why does a lawyer quit? You already know he's a rascal when you get in there.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
SUPERFLY #57 - More SNL 50 with Sarah Sherman!
Is he going to sell them on Amazon? I just told her to jump on. Of course, she can't follow that at all. We have to keep all this. This is how hard it is to have a guest. She's like, can you move it earlier for me? So I said, of course. And then she goes, I'll be late. I go, Didn't we move it earlier? But honestly, I don't care. I don't care at all. I don't care at all. I don't even bring it up.
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade
