WEBVTT 1 00:00:08.369 --> 00:00:12.130 Hi, I'm Bobby Moynihan, and I wanted to be a 2 00:00:12.189 --> 00:00:13.609 comedian when I grew up. 3 00:00:14.050 --> 00:00:18.730 Okay, well, that worked. I read that your interest in 4 00:00:18.929 --> 00:00:23.480 comedy began as like a way to get attention or 5 00:00:23.500 --> 00:00:24.980 an attention ploy. Is that true? 6 00:00:25.460 --> 00:00:27.859 I mean, yeah, I think that's true for most comedy. 7 00:00:28.260 --> 00:00:29.600 Yeah, yeah. 8 00:00:29.699 --> 00:00:33.740 But yes, very, very much so. Well, yeah, I've just, yeah. 9 00:00:34.219 --> 00:00:37.590 They call, I've said this before, they Called me watch 10 00:00:37.649 --> 00:00:41.729 me as a kid because I would just say watch 11 00:00:41.770 --> 00:00:43.570 me and just do dumb shit all the time. 12 00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:49.600 I also heard that you worked at your father's liquor 13 00:00:49.659 --> 00:00:52.579 store when you were eight years old. I'm guessing you 14 00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:55.159 saw a lot of different types of characters there. Has 15 00:00:55.659 --> 00:00:58.560 that played at all into your comedy as an adult? 16 00:00:59.340 --> 00:01:02.299 That's funny. No, not in the sense of like, I 17 00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:05.739 don't remember anything that like directly correlates, but like, yeah, 18 00:01:05.780 --> 00:01:10.560 my father owned a liquor store my entire childhood. And like, 19 00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:13.829 and for as long as I could remember as a child, 20 00:01:13.890 --> 00:01:15.790 I worked, I learned how to drive when I was 21 00:01:15.849 --> 00:01:20.689 like 13 and I was doing like deliveries. Wow. Highly illegal. 22 00:01:21.269 --> 00:01:25.609 Just making deliveries of, of alcohol to churches at 14 23 00:01:25.609 --> 00:01:26.620 years old. Yeah. Yeah. 24 00:01:28.689 --> 00:01:30.629 That's like a sitcom in and of itself. 25 00:01:31.709 --> 00:01:34.950 It's a lawsuit. Yeah. A lot of things. 26 00:01:36.810 --> 00:01:39.879 So you and I actually have shared the screen before 27 00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:41.700 I was an extra in Mr. Mayor. 28 00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:46.519 Oh, I remember. I remember. I remember every moment of 29 00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:49.359 that television show I was on during the pandemic with 30 00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:49.959 Holly Hunter. 31 00:01:51.870 --> 00:01:55.290 I interviewed her recently and she was like, yeah. And 32 00:01:55.329 --> 00:01:57.250 she was like, that was a great show. Wasn't it? 33 00:01:57.269 --> 00:01:58.769 I was like, I really liked it. 34 00:01:59.090 --> 00:02:00.909 I loved it. Holly was the best. I still talk 35 00:02:00.930 --> 00:02:02.750 to her all the time. I talked to that whole 36 00:02:02.769 --> 00:02:04.489 cast all the time. They're the greatest. 37 00:02:04.650 --> 00:02:04.870 Yeah. 38 00:02:04.890 --> 00:02:08.150 That was like, it was so weird. It's so weird 39 00:02:08.250 --> 00:02:11.349 to me that that happened. Also the timing of it 40 00:02:11.409 --> 00:02:15.409 was just awful. It was like, Yeah. Black Lives Matter, 41 00:02:15.509 --> 00:02:17.689 all this stuff with the world was changing. And then 42 00:02:17.729 --> 00:02:20.490 they were like this, this rich white mayor just can't 43 00:02:20.509 --> 00:02:21.349 get it together. 44 00:02:21.370 --> 00:02:24.590 I guess that is true. 45 00:02:24.629 --> 00:02:26.770 Yeah, it was a it was a little bit bad. 46 00:02:27.270 --> 00:02:32.129 No one really felt bad for. Well, rightfully so. 47 00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:35.439 I mean, yeah, we shot the episode I did was 48 00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:38.620 at Dodger Stadium and it was like two days before 49 00:02:38.699 --> 00:02:39.879 everything shut down. 50 00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:42.419 That's no, that was that's I was going to say 51 00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:45.500 I thought, oh, well, you were probably there earlier. I 52 00:02:45.620 --> 00:02:49.659 was on the pitcher's mound at Dodger Stadium with Ted 53 00:02:49.750 --> 00:02:52.930 Danson and someone walked up to us. And I remember 54 00:02:52.990 --> 00:02:57.030 thinking from the look on their face, this doesn't look 55 00:02:57.069 --> 00:02:59.610 very good. And that's when I found out we were 56 00:03:00.810 --> 00:03:03.699 all going home. And I was like, what? Like, I 57 00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:06.469 will be back in the morning, whatever. But I found 58 00:03:06.539 --> 00:03:09.909 out on the pitcher's mound, I found out about COVID 59 00:03:10.069 --> 00:03:12.770 on the pitcher's mound at Dodgers Stadium with Ted Danson. 60 00:03:12.789 --> 00:03:13.969 It's a mad lib. 61 00:03:15.530 --> 00:03:18.330 I am currently in New Jersey. I've got my Giants 62 00:03:18.389 --> 00:03:20.370 gear on. Reggie, your dad was such a big Giants 63 00:03:20.409 --> 00:03:24.360 fan that he wore a Phil Simms jersey to your graduation. 64 00:03:25.259 --> 00:03:28.770 Graduation for high school and college maybe yeah I think 65 00:03:28.789 --> 00:03:31.310 he wanted to be buried in it he wore it 66 00:03:31.349 --> 00:03:38.030 constantly I still have them he he loved it. 67 00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:42.439 You could do a sitcom about growing up I do 68 00:03:42.500 --> 00:03:45.400 think with the amount of lore that's just been dropped 69 00:03:45.460 --> 00:03:50.580 in the first five minutes of this conversation he's. 70 00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:50.750 A big Giants fan I just went to the Giants 71 00:03:50.780 --> 00:03:52.669 game the other day with Tracy it was a blast 72 00:03:53.310 --> 00:03:56.939 it was a tough game I went to the Cardinals game. 73 00:03:57.500 --> 00:04:00.340 Okay. That was, that was better when they didn't realize, 74 00:04:01.580 --> 00:04:03.990 they didn't realize that they had a timeout left and 75 00:04:04.030 --> 00:04:08.789 they like, that was, that was pretty, that was pretty funny. 76 00:04:09.210 --> 00:04:13.710 I'm wondering if your relationship to comedy has changed moving

77 00:04:13.930 --> 00:04:18.930 from SNL to a sitcom environment, or if you've, you 78 00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:20.439 found the approach similar. 79 00:04:20.449 --> 00:04:23.620 I mean, SNL is its own thing it's completely different 80 00:04:23.660 --> 00:04:27.139 than anything this is a blast this is easy especially 81 00:04:27.180 --> 00:04:30.220 when you're surrounded by daniel radcliffe and erica and tracy 82 00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:33.600 and everybody everyone is so good but i think honestly 83 00:04:33.660 --> 00:04:36.810 my favorite part about it is what i'm realizing is 84 00:04:36.870 --> 00:04:40.009 like if i if i could just be on fake 85 00:04:40.250 --> 00:04:43.410 tv shows or fake documentaries that's all i want to 86 00:04:43.430 --> 00:04:44.769 do for the rest of my life like i want 87 00:04:44.790 --> 00:04:45.829 to be on i don't want to be on a 88 00:04:45.850 --> 00:04:47.850 reality show i want to be on a fake reality 89 00:04:47.889 --> 00:04:51.810 show And I want to do fake documentaries just for 90 00:04:51.850 --> 00:04:53.910 the rest of my life. I think that's... I really 91 00:04:53.970 --> 00:04:57.310 enjoy it. I just also enjoy the idea of also 92 00:04:57.350 --> 00:04:58.470 looking into the camera. 93 00:04:59.189 --> 00:04:59.470 Yes. 94 00:04:59.990 --> 00:05:03.509 Because it's just such a free extra joke. 95 00:05:04.189 --> 00:05:07.000 Like a documentary now type situation? 96 00:05:07.019 --> 00:05:10.939 I mean, yeah. I would do documentary now and that 97 00:05:11.060 --> 00:05:13.379 only for the rest of my life. Yes. Or just 98 00:05:13.420 --> 00:05:15.300 like any kind of one of those fake shows. 99 00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:15.639 Yeah. 100 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:19.740 It's just so... That genre is... very i love it. 101 00:05:20.379 --> 00:05:22.689 What what do you find like the most appealing about. 102 00:05:22.529 --> 00:05:28.110 It many things uh it it's it seems more real 103 00:05:28.170 --> 00:05:30.129 it seems more fun it seems like you're doing it 104 00:05:30.430 --> 00:05:34.600 and also very selfishly when you're shooting it you shoot 105 00:05:34.660 --> 00:05:36.819 it and then you move on you if you're shooting 106 00:05:36.860 --> 00:05:38.800 something else you have to shoot this angle then you 107 00:05:38.819 --> 00:05:40.379 got to shoot a close-up then you got to shoot 108 00:05:40.420 --> 00:05:42.860 yeah the other thing turn it around you got to 109 00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:44.939 wait 45 minutes you know on the two hours like 110 00:05:45.019 --> 00:05:49.129 it like it's also like I think I just enjoy 111 00:05:49.149 --> 00:05:51.589 the pacing of it because you just shoot it and 112 00:05:51.829 --> 00:05:54.629 rehearse it, shoot it, and go. Just like SNL. I 113 00:05:54.829 --> 00:05:58.189 think that is appealing to me. 114 00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:02.279 How many cameras do they have rolling at one time? 115 00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:04.759 653,012, I heard. That's
a lot of footage. That's a 116 00:06:04.860 --> 00:06:07.000 great deal of footage. Usually like two or three. 117 00:06:07.019 --> 00:06:15.660 Okay. Okay. But are they, so are the cameras that 118 00:06:15.699 --> 00:06:17.620 are in the shot actually rolling? 119 00:06:17.699 --> 00:06:21.620 Are those? Oh yeah. Yeah. Sometimes Daniel shoots stuff like 120 00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:24.360 as at what he's pretending to be the director shooting stuff. 121 00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:28.199 He's actually shooting the, the cameraman, all the cameramen are 122 00:06:28.220 --> 00:06:31.240 like in it. They have lines like, like they, like 123 00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:33.980 they are now part of it. Uh, yeah. 124 00:06:34.019 --> 00:06:38.279 Okay. Because watching it, I wasn't sure if they were 125 00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:41.279 doing the office when they would bring the camera people 126 00:06:41.339 --> 00:06:43.720 in on the office and it was an actor as 127 00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:45.420 a camera person or if it was an actual. 128 00:06:45.540 --> 00:06:48.290 A couple of the camera guys play themselves. There is 129 00:06:48.610 --> 00:06:52.670 one general cameraman that we now call Marty, who is 130 00:06:52.769 --> 00:06:56.649 not a real cameraman on the show. But he also is. 131 00:06:56.870 --> 00:06:59.500 He is a cameraman. It's hard to explain. But yeah, 132 00:06:59.740 --> 00:07:02.220 Marty is kind of like the fake made up. He's 133 00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:06.740 all of the cameramen smashed into one. Gotcha. And it's 134 00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:08.740 voiced by Chris Gethard whenever they do it. 135 00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:15.240 So when this idea for this show comes your way, I, 136 00:07:15.579 --> 00:07:20.319 like many other people, I saw Dan in Harry Potter 137 00:07:20.540 --> 00:07:23.500 and was like, you know, I went to go see 138 00:07:23.540 --> 00:07:26.279 him on Broadway in How to Succeed in Business. 139 00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:27.199 Me too. 140 00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:30.870 Simply because it was him, like not for any other 141 00:07:30.899 --> 00:07:32.439 reason than I wanted to be in his presence and 142 00:07:32.490 --> 00:07:38.550 then was shocked when he was funny. And oh, so good. Yeah. 143 00:07:38.610 --> 00:07:42.009 So did you know that about him before? I did. 144 00:07:42.029 --> 00:07:43.370 I had seen I mean, I had seen him on 145 00:07:43.410 --> 00:07:45.490 Broadway a bunch. I saw I saw him in Equus. 146 00:07:45.529 --> 00:07:47.990 I saw I saw him with him and him and 147 00:07:48.709 --> 00:07:53.910 John Larroquette. Uh, I, uh, yeah, big fan. So yes, I, uh, yes. But, 148 00:07:54.009 --> 00:07:59.709 but also he had hosted SNL, uh, uh, and just like, 149 00:08:01.149 --> 00:08:03.360 I'm just a huge fan of all the choices he 150 00:08:03.420 --> 00:08:06.240 makes of like what, what he does. Like he just, 151 00:08:08.019 --> 00:08:10.800 I'm a fan. He just does good. He always does weird, 152 00:08:11.060 --> 00:08:13.980 fun stuff that he enjoys. And I think it's because 153 00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:17.870 like he, what he, he has, uh, he has that 154 00:08:18.250 --> 00:08:23.290 unfortunate gift, which is like, here's your first job ever. 155 00:08:23.410 --> 00:08:26.829 And you're never going to beat it. Like here's, you 156 00:08:26.850 --> 00:08:28.769 know what I mean? Like he's, he's somebody who like 157 00:08:28.829 --> 00:08:31.750 started as Harry Potter, like for the rest of his life, 158 00:08:32.070 --> 00:08:36.480 he is the boy wizard. So like now he can, I, I, I, 159 00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:38.580 I love the fact that he's like, you know what 160 00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:41.159 I'm going to do? I'm going to play a dead body. Like, 161 00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:44.159 you know, like he just makes, because he doesn't, he 162 00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:48.129 already started. He's like a 50 year old, 20-year-old, if 163 00:08:48.190 --> 00:08:52.289 that makes sense. He's been in this business forever. No, 164 00:08:52.350 --> 00:08:55.000 I'm just a huge fan of what he does. And yes, 165 00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:56.240 I knew he was very funny. 166 00:08:57.539 --> 00:08:59.860 Some people have a hard time, though, when they're saddled 167 00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:03.539 with the pressure of being a Harry Potter. And he 168 00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:06.100 seems to be like, I don't know if you ever 169 00:09:06.139 --> 00:09:07.440 watched Miracle Workers. 170 00:09:07.460 --> 00:09:10.639 I was on it. Oh, yes, you were. 171 00:09:10.659 --> 00:09:14.259 Oh, my God. Again, I was like, wait, what? And 172 00:09:14.299 --> 00:09:16.179 so I think that it was such a good example 173 00:09:16.220 --> 00:09:21.740 of kind of. Yeah, he's so good. And then Mr. 174 00:09:21.779 --> 00:09:24.769 Ricochet is like my one of my favorite characters in television. 175 00:09:24.970 --> 00:09:28.610 When when he dresses up as Mr. Ricochet a week 176 00:09:28.669 --> 00:09:32.330 ago on set, he came out of the trailer and 177 00:09:32.350 --> 00:09:36.110 he was dressed as Mr. Ricochet.

--> 00:10:06.679 and he was genuinely entertained by it i hope. 190 00:10:08.100 --> 00:10:10.779 Well you've worked with a lot of the same people 191 00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:14.620 do you enjoy that more than starting with a group 192 00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:17.000 of new people you have to find a rhythm. 193 00:10:17.500 --> 00:10:20.559 I had met Tracy before, I had met Daniel before, 194 00:10:20.659 --> 00:10:23.799 and I had never met Erica, but I was a fan. So, like, 195 00:10:23.860 --> 00:10:26.840 that was a blast. But, I mean, like, that's every job. 196 00:10:26.899 --> 00:10:30.490 It's like, well, that's not true. I don't know why. 197 00:10:30.509 --> 00:10:32.990 I don't know why. But if you get cast in 198 00:10:33.029 --> 00:10:36.330 a job and someone else from SNL gets cast in it, 199 00:10:36.590 --> 00:10:41.009 then there's six. It's never, like, one. It's either one 200 00:10:41.169 --> 00:10:45.529 or 12 people from SNL. It's never, like, two to three. 201 00:10:45.690 --> 00:10:49.799 There's always... So when it's just for some reason, it's 202 00:10:49.820 --> 00:10:52.620 like somebody knows somebody from SNL, so they'll put 12 203 00:10:52.620 --> 00:10:55.500 people in it. It just always happens. And I love 204 00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:58.799 that because I know them and it's fun and like whatever. 205 00:10:59.299 --> 00:11:01.500 It's just crazy to me that it always happens. If 206 00:11:01.539 --> 00:11:04.600 you see an animated movie and one SNL person is 207 00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:07.750 that you can guarantee that out of the next 20 208 00:11:07.750 --> 00:11:10.009 cast members, six of them are going to be from SNL. 209 00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:11.100 It's fascinating. 210 00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:13.039 Yeah, I do find a lot of times when you 211 00:11:13.059 --> 00:11:16.559 look at like movie trivia on IMDb, it'll start out 212 00:11:16.980 --> 00:11:20.379 sounding like a really rare fact. This is so-and-so's first 213 00:11:20.450 --> 00:11:23.169 time working with so-and-so, but then it'll be like since 214 00:11:23.269 --> 00:11:25.429 two years ago when they all worked with, and then 215 00:11:25.450 --> 00:11:28.009 you're like, oh, this is, everybody's traveling in a pack. 216 00:11:29.909 --> 00:11:32.289 Or you work with some, or I've met people that 217 00:11:32.330 --> 00:11:34.289 like I've been in three movies with and I've never 218 00:11:34.330 --> 00:11:35.330 met them before in my life. 219 00:11:35.610 --> 00:11:38.450 The amount of times I will interview people and I 220 00:11:38.490 --> 00:11:42.340 will talk to them about their scene with so-and-so, they'll 221 00:11:42.379 --> 00:11:44.759 be like, can I tell you, I've still never met them. 222 00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:45.480 Yeah. Yeah. 223 00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:50.700 I'm always like, oh, they're like, please don't tell anyone that. 224 00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:55.120 And I'm like, okay. How much of your time on 225 00:11:55.179 --> 00:11:58.870 the show filming is improv versus sticking to the scripts? 226 00:11:59.580 --> 00:12:02.460 I mean, not a lot. You would, I love improvising 227 00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:07.340 and they are very kind with letting me improvise, but it's, it's, it's, 228 00:12:08.220 --> 00:12:11.529 it's nice to be at a point in my career 229 00:12:12.330 --> 00:12:15.309 where I'm not like thirsty enough where I'm like, I 230 00:12:15.350 --> 00:12:17.970 got it. Improv. I got to get all my ideas 231 00:12:18.090 --> 00:12:20.399 out there. Cause like, I need to be a star. 232 00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:23.460 Like now it's very much like I trust Robert and Sam. 233 00:12:23.500 --> 00:12:26.029 And like, sometimes we get to the, third or fourth 234 00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:27.700 take and they're like, do you want to add anything? 235 00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:31.860 And I'm like, I'm good. Let's get out of here. But, but, 236 00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:36.480 but they are very generous about improvising and it's super 237 00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:41.059 fun because everyone like improvises wildly differently. Like I love, 238 00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:43.899 I kind of like go after Erica a lot, like 239 00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:47.440 because I'm trying to make her laugh, but Daniel is 240 00:12:47.559 --> 00:12:51.899 shockingly good at just everything. So like, that's fun. But like, there's, 241 00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:55.980 there's no one more fun. to improvise with than Tracy 242 00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:00.179 Morgan just because you it's when you're improvising you don't 243 00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:02.110 know what the person's gonna say but I don't think 244 00:13:02.139 --> 00:13:04.990 Tracy knows what he's gonna say sometimes so like it 245 00:13:05.070 --> 00:13:07.889 makes it even more insane and I love it and 246 00:13:08.049 --> 00:13:11.110 also every time we improvise we just end up hugging 247 00:13:11.129 --> 00:13:14.889 I don't know why we just always end up like 248 00:13:15.889 --> 00:13:17.529 embracing for some reason. 249 00:13:17.570 --> 00:13:21.629 You and tracy or you and whoever you're improv okay. 250 00:13:21.350 --> 00:13:24.110 We just get real excited start screaming and then start 251 00:13:24.129 --> 00:13:28.669 hugging i don't that's how it's that's. 252 00:13:27.429 --> 00:13:32.940 A terrific uh quote to take uh completely out of 253 00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:37.759 context yeah do you ever have something that you did 254 00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:40.419 that you improvised that you thought was really great and 255 00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:41.320 didn't make it. 256 00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:44.149 In Oh, every single day of my life. No, I'm 257 00:13:44.169 --> 00:13:49.129 just kidding. I mean, like, yeah, there's always stuff that, or, 258 00:13:49.289 --> 00:13:51.049 you know, but a lot of the times they're right, 259 00:13:51.070 --> 00:13:54.429 or you're like, I'll do stuff, there'll be 10 takes, 260 00:13:54.470 --> 00:13:57.009 and
I'll do it nine times my way, and then 261 00:13:57.190 --> 00:13:59.529 one time their way, and they'll use that one, and 262 00:13:59.570 --> 00:14:05.240 I go, oh, they were right. Like, you know, other jobs, yes. 263 00:14:05.299 --> 00:14:07.960 This one, I don't, they have, they're smarter. They know 264 00:14:07.980 --> 00:14:11.399 what they're doing. They have this figured out. I'm just there. 265 00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:13.970 I'm a puppet. I'm a very thankful puppet. 266 00:14:16.269 --> 00:14:21.220 That's another great quote. I was told that there's more 267 00:14:21.769 --> 00:14:26.159 of your character's background story in season two, but I'm 268 00:14:26.220 --> 00:14:30.700 wondering if prior to learning more information, if you had 269 00:14:30.740 --> 00:14:34.419 already come up with your own background. Always. 270 00:14:34.620 --> 00:14:37.659 They're, they're pretty good. Like I trust them pretty good. 271 00:14:37.700 --> 00:14:41.970 They're like, I know for a fact, I'm sure they 272 00:14:42.009 --> 00:14:45.490 won't care that I say this, that other cast members 273 00:14:45.649 --> 00:14:50.879 definitely go like, I think this should happen, or I 274 00:14:50.909 --> 00:14:54.480 would like to go in this direction with my character, 275 00:14:54.620 --> 00:14:58.120 or what if my character had a relationship with this 276 00:14:58.220 --> 00:15:01.860 kind of a person? There are very vocal cast members 277 00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:04.399 on this show about that, and I feel like I'm 278 00:15:04.440 --> 00:15:06.480 the opposite, where I just go like, I don't care, 279 00:15:06.500 --> 00:15:09.159 I can't wait to see what happens. But then like 280 00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:11.629 sometimes I'll get a piece like a tiny piece of 281 00:15:11.669 --> 00:15:13.730 like this is what's going to happen. And then I'm like, oh, no, 282 00:15:13.750 --> 00:15:16.529 can I do this? Or like I say weird stuff 283 00:15:16.690 --> 00:15:18.529 like Robert said, what do you want to do? And 284 00:15:18.549 --> 00:15:22.450 I said last season, I said it was like halfway 285 00:15:22.470 --> 00:15:24.570 through the pandemic. I was like, I want to shoot. Oh, no, 286 00:15:24.610 --> 00:15:26.889 my God. That was Mr. Mayor. It wasn't this show. 287 00:15:27.269 --> 00:15:29.590 I said, I want to shoot the empty amusement park. 288 00:15:29.690 --> 00:15:31.309 I was like, I want to. I was like, anytime 289 00:15:31.350 --> 00:15:34.470 we can shoot in the empty amusement park because we 290 00:15:34.490 --> 00:15:37.649 were shooting at Universal. Uh, so then they, all of 291 00:15:37.690 --> 00:15:40.350 a sudden, all of a sudden my character loved minions 292 00:15:40.429 --> 00:15:44.600 and I was always at the minions ride and in universal. 293 00:15:44.649 --> 00:15:46.860 And like, we shot at universal when it was closed 294 00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:49.419 all the time and it was the funnest. Like they 295 00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:52.299
gave me, like I, I cashed in my, like, what 296 00:15:52.340 --> 00:15:54.700 is it like to be in an amusement park by 297 00:15:54.740 --> 00:16:03.580 yourself card instead of, instead of choosing a good acting choice. But, uh, Yeah, no. 298 00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:07.059 And this season, there's a lot of fun, crazy Rusty stuff. 299 00:16:07.139 --> 00:16:11.120 I'm very happy. It's an amazing character. It's also just 300 00:16:11.179 --> 00:16:15.559 like the best role. I live in Tracy's basement. I'm 301 00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:18.129 the luckiest man in television. I just get to show up. 302 00:16:18.169 --> 00:16:19.870 I just have to have a stupid mustache for a 303 00:16:19.889 --> 00:16:21.629 couple of months. That's the hardest part about it. 304 00:16:22.190 --> 00:16:26.269 Does Rusty have anybody that he would want to make 305 00:16:26.950 --> 00:16:30.370 a cameo in a like a celebrity cameo in the future? 306 00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:33.899 Oh, my God. Catherine Hahn is like my favorite. I 307 00:16:33.940 --> 00:16:35.879 would love to work with her. I would have said 308 00:16:35.899 --> 00:16:37.639 Catherine O'Hara. God rest her soul. 309 00:16:37.779 --> 00:16:39.179 Yeah. 310 00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:48.409 Gosh. Any one of the old SNL people, that's always fun. Oh, dude, 311 00:16:48.450 --> 00:16:51.210 I wish Amy would do the show or Dratch. You 312 00:16:51.230 --> 00:16:55.600 know what I mean? Who else? Who would be great? 313 00:16:56.909 --> 00:16:58.629 I mean, Megan, the stallion was surprised. 314 00:16:58.830 --> 00:17:02.570 Oh, so good. So good. I keep pitching. Oh, shouldn't 315 00:17:02.629 --> 00:17:04.509 I shouldn't say this because I want them to use 316 00:17:04.589 --> 00:17:08.559 it so bad. But I keep pitching that Daniel finally 317 00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:11.940 breaks down and calls her and she he hears her 318 00:17:11.980 --> 00:17:14.480 phone ringing in the basement and she's she's with Rusty. 319 00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:20.319 But it'll never happen. But I pitch it all the time. 320 00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:26.880 Jim Carrey. I want Jim Carrey to come do something. Oh, yeah. 321 00:17:26.900 --> 00:17:29.269 That would be fun. What is the best part of 322 00:17:29.289 --> 00:17:31.869 being famous and the biggest downside of being famous? I 323 00:17:31.890 --> 00:17:34.230 got to say the crazy left turn of a question. 324 00:17:50.710 --> 00:17:55.690 I feel like I just immediately went into therapy. That 325 00:17:55.769 --> 00:18:01.599 is in, in, it is insane. It is insane. Um, 326 00:18:02.220 --> 00:18:03.500 the best part. 327 00:18:03.259 --> 00:18:06.460 About it on, I mean, like the empty theme park. 328 00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:10.220 The empty thing, like that, that stuff, like, yeah, like, 329 00:18:10.259 --> 00:18:13.390 like it's like recently a lot of people, I think 330 00:18:13.450 --> 00:18:16.210 even you did it earlier. A lot of people have 331 00:18:16.269 --> 00:18:19.230 been saying like, I'll just tell stories about my normal 332 00:18:19.289 --> 00:18:22.359 life and, And people go, wow, man, like your stories 333 00:18:22.420 --> 00:18:25.140 are insane or like the lore you have is crazy. 334 00:18:25.180 --> 00:18:28.660 And I go like, yeah, yeah, you're right. A lot 335 00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:32.569 of weird stuff has been through a lot of weird stuff. 336 00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:35.880 And like at SNL, especially like it just like it's 337 00:18:35.900 --> 00:18:40.130 like a mad lib. Like, yeah, it's a crazy literally, 338 00:18:40.289 --> 00:18:43.549 literally like you're standing in a hallway with Barack Obama, 339 00:18:43.670 --> 00:18:47.069 a llama and Mark Wahlberg. And you're like, what the 340 00:18:47.109 --> 00:18:53.589 hell is happening? But it's it's happening. So, yes. Yes 341 00:18:53.609 --> 00:18:56.869 to all of it. What is it like? The best 342 00:18:56.910 --> 00:19:00.599 part about being famous is, like, yeah, that stuff. It 343 00:19:00.650 --> 00:19:06.859 invites in crazy weird. It's never boring. And what's the 344 00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:10.099 worst side about it? I mean, like, I don't have 345 00:19:10.119 --> 00:19:12.299 it that bad that, like, I can leave my house. Like, 346 00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:14.089 I'm sure there's people. You know what I mean? Like, 347 00:19:14.130 --> 00:19:17.829 there's people who can't. Like, that stinks. And then, like, 348 00:19:17.849 --> 00:19:23.750 I don't know. The worst part about it. is people 349 00:19:23.809 --> 00:19:25.809 coming up to you and asking you like, do you 350 00:19:25.829 --> 00:19:27.390 wish you were more famous? And then you go like, 351 00:19:27.450 --> 00:19:30.630 Oh God, what is that? I don't know. Or like, 352 00:19:31.089 --> 00:19:33.329 like when people run up to you and assume they 353 00:19:33.369 --> 00:19:35.710 go like, Hey, you're great on SNL, but tell this 354 00:19:35.809 --> 00:19:38.569 person they suck. And you're like, Oh my God. Like, 355 00:19:39.009 --> 00:19:42.829 why would you think that's okay to do? But it's 356 00:19:42.869 --> 00:19:45.410 all fine. It's all pretty good. I really don't have 357 00:19:45.470 --> 00:19:47.309 any big problems. Could be much worse. 358 00:19:48.910 --> 00:19:53.359 The assumption of people knowing other people and levels of 359 00:19:53.420 --> 00:19:57.079 fame is actually a common answer. Because I also ask people, 360 00:19:57.359 --> 00:19:59.460 what kind of questions do you love being asked? And 361 00:19:59.500 --> 00:20:02.099 what kind of questions do you really not like being asked? 362 00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:12.890 Because press is such a Or they'll say someone asking 363 00:20:12.910 --> 00:20:15.849 them what it's like to be around someone who they 364 00:20:15.869 --> 00:20:17.089 know is more famous. 365 00:20:18.309 --> 00:20:20.309 You just saying that made me think of what was 366 00:20:20.369 --> 00:20:26.670 the worst experience. I can
pinpoint it. I can pinpoint 367 00:20:26.750 --> 00:20:32.930 the worst moment I've ever had of being a quote 368 00:20:33.289 --> 00:20:38.289 unquote famous person, which was somebody asked me to do 369 00:20:38.829 --> 00:20:40.849 comic-con and like i was like i love comic-con i 370 00:20:40.890 --> 00:20:43.740 go anyway they were like come to pittsburgh to do 371 00:20:43.819 --> 00:20:48.380 steel city comic-con and like sign autographs and i'd never 372 00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:52.720 done that before and i went and i could pinpoint 373 00:20:52.740 --> 00:20:56.980 the moment it is when a child from pittsburgh walks 374 00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:00.480 walks up to the line looks you dead in the 375 00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:03.529 eyes where he has cash in his hand and looks 376 00:21:03.650 --> 00:21:08.240 up and goes like nah And then walk and goes 377 00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:11.440 like not worth it and walks away. And then you 378 00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:13.720 go like, I want to take in a picture with 379 00:21:13.740 --> 00:21:16.680 you for free. Like, why did I do this to myself? 380 00:21:18.660 --> 00:21:20.789 I mean, you've just described what being on a press 381 00:21:20.829 --> 00:21:22.920 line is like, or at a red carpet where like, 382 00:21:23.420 --> 00:21:26.029 we're trying to get to talk to anybody and they're like, 383 00:21:26.069 --> 00:21:28.069 who are you with?

I think that he's in 542 00:29:57.779 --> 00:29:59.740 DC though, but I really want to play the blob. 543 00:29:59.779 --> 00:30:01.200 Oh my gosh. 544 00:30:01.319 --> 00:30:06.640 Yeah. Oh yeah. That's great. 545 00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:08.779 Do we, is there like a lot of backstory on 546 00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:09.240 the blob? 547 00:30:10.660 --> 00:30:12.619 I think, yeah. Didn't he like grow up in a circus? 548 00:30:12.660 --> 00:30:18.309 He was just fat. Yeah. I always, I always just 549 00:30:18.369 --> 00:30:21.690 enjoy it. I think his name is Fred Dukes. Oh 550 00:30:21.710 --> 00:30:22.109 my gosh. 551 00:30:22.130 --> 00:30:23.910 I have to do some research on the blob. 552 00:30:24.089 --> 00:30:26.130 Yeah, man. He's great as a fun character, but he's 553 00:30:26.170 --> 00:30:28.509 just like, that's it. It's just the funny. It's just 554 00:30:28.549 --> 00:30:33.150 that you can just take it. Great. 555 00:30:33.369 --> 00:30:38.299 Okay. Well, I'll put that out there. Um, yeah, I 556
00:30:38.359 --> 00:30:40.990 did a, I did something with, with Chris Pratt this 557 00:30:41.059 --> 00:30:42.940 week and he did the same thing where he like, 558 00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:47.240 there's a commercial he specifically wanted. And so he was like, yeah. 559 00:30:47.259 --> 00:30:48.849 And if they still want me to be on the, 560 00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:52.829 in the commercial, I was like, all right. Get somebody 561 00:30:52.849 --> 00:30:53.410 a job here. 562 00:30:53.430 --> 00:30:55.809 I love that he just can't call up and ask. 563 00:30:56.349 --> 00:30:58.809 He was wonderful when he hosted SNL. He was very funny. 564 00:30:59.349 --> 00:31:03.380 He was very nice. He said, unfortunately, like halfway through 565 00:31:03.390 --> 00:31:05.660 him saying this, the cameras cut off. But he was like, 566 00:31:05.779 --> 00:31:09.079 I only got five minutes at this junket in the 567 00:31:09.119 --> 00:31:11.059 city on Monday. And they were like, we should have 568 00:31:11.099 --> 00:31:14.480 given you a lot more than five minutes. And only 569 00:31:14.539 --> 00:31:18.160 half of that sentence got recorded. And it's going to 570 00:31:18.220 --> 00:31:20.579 haunt me forever. For the rest of my life. I 571 00:31:20.579 --> 00:31:22.579 was going to make it my email signature, but. 572 00:31:24.980 --> 00:31:27.119 Unfortunately, it's... Someday. 573 00:31:27.640 --> 00:31:28.079 Someday. 574 00:31:29.059 --> 00:31:33.259 I am wondering if you consider yourself to have made it. 575 00:31:36.759 --> 00:31:42.720 I mean... I mean... That's funny. When you say that, 576 00:31:42.799 --> 00:31:45.819 my first inclination is to say yes, but not for 577 00:31:45.859 --> 00:31:51.430 the reason... that I originally thought it was. Mm-hmm. Like, 578 00:31:52.069 --> 00:31:55.029 I think getting SNL, like, I think getting SNL, like, 579 00:31:55.089 --> 00:31:58.670 I went, like, holy shit. Like, I did it. Like, 580 00:31:58.690 --> 00:32:00.039 you know what I mean? Like, it was like, there's 581 00:32:00.099 --> 00:32:05.039 part of me that understands that there's only a hundred 582 00:32:05.079 --> 00:32:08.160 and something, 50 people that have ever been a cast 583 00:32:08.220 --> 00:32:10.660 member on SNL, and I'm one of them, and that 584 00:32:10.740 --> 00:32:13.759 sentence makes my brain hurt. 585 00:32:13.779 --> 00:32:16.559 Mm-hmm. And what is it now? 586 00:32:18.259 --> 00:32:21.099 But then like my parents passed away, I had kids 587 00:32:21.259 --> 00:32:24.849 and now I go like, now it's more like, even 588 00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:28.369 though I would be when my parents died. Now the 589 00:32:28.410 --> 00:32:31.970 thought is like, even though the most horrible thing I 590 00:32:32.009 --> 00:32:36.569 could think of is leaving my children. If, if God 591 00:32:36.650 --> 00:32:40.759 forbid something happens, I look up and I go like, 592 00:32:40.839 --> 00:32:45.359 I'm pretty happy. Like everything was great. Like everything's great. 593 00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:48.140 My kids are great. Like, like, like, that's great. Like 594 00:32:48.240 --> 00:32:52.220 I made it like that, that, that, that, that contentness is, 595 00:32:52.380 --> 00:32:57.200 is a nice, is, is a fun to, to, to 596 00:32:57.359 --> 00:32:59.920 go that way rather than anything else. 597 00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:03.789 Absolutely. And that's a great realization to have. 598 00:33:03.809 --> 00:33:07.349 Yeah. I think, I think I used to think like 599 00:33:07.410 --> 00:33:09.769 the most important thing was like, Hey, can you believe 600 00:33:09.809 --> 00:33:11.529 I got this part and I did this and I 601 00:33:11.569 --> 00:33:13.869 got that. And now it's much more like, Hey, can 602 00:33:13.910 --> 00:33:19.650 you believe I'm around still? And I made it. And like, Yeah, 603 00:33:19.769 --> 00:33:21.769 there's other people I love and I want to take 604 00:33:21.789 --> 00:33:24.349 them with me and like that. Yeah. Do you ever 605 00:33:24.369 --> 00:33:25.049 watch Lost? 606 00:33:25.410 --> 00:33:28.210 Part of it and then it lost me. 607 00:33:29.319 --> 00:33:33.180 Understandable. It did not for me and I feel very 608 00:33:33.279 --> 00:33:37.640 much that. I feel very much like Lost. You don't 609 00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:41.789 necessarily have to understand it. You just have to enjoy it. 610 00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:44.259 And that's where I'm at and I feel like I've 611 00:33:44.299 --> 00:33:46.119 enjoyed it. So yes, I'm good to go. 612 00:33:47.869 --> 00:33:53.250 That's lovely. My final question is, if your career was 613 00:33:53.289 --> 00:33:57.650 a book and this moment was a chapter, what would 614 00:33:57.690 --> 00:33:59.150 that chapter title be? 615 00:33:59.990 --> 00:34:04.490 Right now? Chapter 19. Love it. 616 00:34:04.990 --> 00:34:06.640 Any reason, particular reason? 617 00:34:07.240 --> 00:34:10.019 Chapter 19, The Reckoning. Oh, yes. 618 00:34:10.199 --> 00:34:12.980 Okay, great. Very dramatic. 619 00:34:13.260 --> 00:34:13.539 Yeah. 620 00:34:13.840 --> 00:34:15.210 Ominous, dramatic. 621 00:34:15.550 --> 00:34:15.829 Yeah. 622 00:34:16.030 --> 00:34:17.289 I don't know what's coming next. 623 00:34:17.610 --> 00:34:21.070 Much like COVID-19, I have no idea what I'm in for. No, 624 00:34:21.090 --> 00:34:25.610 I'm just kidding. I don't know why. Sorry. Terrible improv. No, 625 00:34:25.699 --> 00:34:28.079 everything's great. That's what it would be called. Everything's great. 626 00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:30.880 See, I was yes anding you. 627 00:34:30.940 --> 00:34:32.300 I appreciate it. I appreciate it. 628 00:34:33.199 --> 00:34:35.219 You know, I took one class at UCB. 629 00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:37.489 But that's all you need. That's all you really need. 630 00:34:38.619 --> 00:34:40.940 It was Zoom improv. It was a mess. 631 00:34:41.300 --> 00:34:42.340 The best kind of improv. 632 00:34:42.360 --> 00:34:44.860 It's just complete chaos.
