0:00Oh my god, my brother would go, took my mom's dildo, he must have been like five, and he would go up the street, put it to his neck in front of all his friends and go, if I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the morning and it would make his voice. And he was doing dildo bits at school. They didn't know what it was. And then I got to do Just Shoot Me with George. Yeah. And I said that to him. And I said, me. And you. Jesus Christ. And then I remember they're going, Mr. Turi, what do you want in your eggs? I go, what's your angle?

0:42Dana Carvey:David, what's up next? This is one of our favorites. Back by popular to me. It is the way it is. I mean, we do these. We get comments on YouTube. Even if it's an audio, people watch it on YouTube. and then they tell us what they think. And I just here out in the world have Sherry Oteri back on. She was really fun when she was on the show. And she's the kind that just goes all out on everything and she tells funny stories. And so we were like, well, she has to be on video so people can see what we see. And so we just had her on. Yeah, we wanted her back because we saw all the visual and she was funny just hearing the audio, but she also does these impressions of her mom and little characters.

1:28Dana Carvey:So it was great to have her back on video. So that's why this is sort of a cool one. So you can see what we saw with the audio only one. So here she is, friend of the show. Friend of the show. One of the funniest people we've had on this fly on the wall. The one and only Sherry O'Terry. Sherry and I, for the last half hour, we're talking about she called a nail salon and they say, happy nail, how I help.

2:00I've been nailed. How I help.

2:06Dana Carvey:Oh, yeah. I've gone in to those places. I love it because she always has an attitude. How I help. Is she mad that you're calling already? Oh, she's pissed. She got, she was just waking up. I hear so much about nail salons. I've never been in one, but it sounds like you haven't. They're slightly irritated. You're there. You can tell by your hands. Here, Here's my point. David, do you take baths? Baths? Do you take a bath? David, why don't you try saying hi to Jean? Who's Jean? Hi, Jean. Hi, Jean. God damn it. Because the reason I go in there once in a while with my wife is because my feet are gnarly.

2:49Dana Carvey:Because I don't take baths and I can't really see. Anyway. Do you have a loofah? I'm Dana Garvey. Our guest today is Sherry. No, I want to hear about the loofah because I have a loofah and I, I heard you're only supposed to keep them for two to six years before they get bacteria. Yeah, you got it right. I had a loofah all through college and it was so grimy, but didn't slow me down. I think that's how I got crab six times. It was that or a pay phone. Our guest is Sherry Oteri. We're back from break. Back from break. And Sherry Oteri is here. By popular demand. Really? Oh, you were very popular.

3:32Oh, man. I'm so scared now. They're going to be like, wow, she was funnier when I couldn't see her. Yeah. That's definitely a danger. But what it is is you tell stories and then we can't see them. And then they were like, we want to see her. And I'm like, I know. So next time. By the way, I know this is not related for sure, but you gave your little pillow there, a nice little karate chop in the background.

3:58Dana Carvey:Isn't that a rabbit pillow or some kind of animal? Yeah, what is that? No, it's not a rabbit. No, no. Is that a rabbit? I can't see too good. Sherry, come on. Let's go out. I'm going on fly on the wall. You guys, congratulations. The show's doing so well. Is it? Comedy podcast of the year, whatever. Yeah. Oh, that I heart thing? Yeah, that little I heart thing. That was political, but thank you. Pretty soon, David's going to be practicing hygiene. No, I'm not that gross, Sherry. Sherry saw me pass out at Fiorello's. Oh, my God. Your friend's in the bathroom. He's fainted. And I'm like, is he okay?

4:46Can you check? And then he comes walking out like hair, because he passed out. He's like, I need orange juice. I'm like, no, you need to pay the check. It's your turn this time. Stop fainting. Crowbar in my wallet. Oh, yeah. Oh, Sherry, here comes a check. I go, oh, I know what I'm allergic to, the check. And he's out. Dana, I was stressed.

5:14Dana Carvey:I know. Well, it was a thing. We've talked about it before. Before you handled your hypoglycemic nature, you have candy bars everywhere. even in the elevator that's another story but um spade went down you know there'd be uh but he's okay that would be in a read-through normally which is a fainable situation it was so it was so such it was so funny in new york uh real casual your friends on the ground in the in the bathroom and i'm like could you check for a pulse i mean could you yeah oh okay well yeah you don't mean international superstar David Spade, dude. But they go, yeah, even the waiter was like, you guys are going to be late for read-through.

5:55You know what I think happened, Sherry? I try to time it out without letting everyone know that I'm falling apart at the seams. So I said, okay, if she comes over at 11, we get down there, I'll have food by 11.20 or something. Like, it was a little too close. I don't have anything on me, which now I do usually. So she picks me up and she's like, here's her dumb bad idea. Let's walk. I go, walk 30 blocks, Sherry? I walked all the time. It was the only time we were outside. I know it was a good idea because I wanted to get that six minutes of sunshine when it's above the buildings and it's like noon.

6:29And then it goes back to shade and shadows. But I said, Oh my God, this is going to tack on to, I got to eat, but I can't tell her. So I started, I got about two blocks away. I started hearing hello. She's like, you're not listening to my story. I'm like, I'm trying to survive.

6:50Dana Carvey:I can't believe I'm going to say. You were at my house once in Encino, and you didn't say anything. Your eyes went back in your head, and you jumped in your truck. Like, okay, he's got to go. There was not like, you all right? Gotta go and go to Burger King. Now, I want to put this in my head because the audience may not know this story. This is sort of mid-90s, and you guys are walking in Manhattan down 6th Avenue or something. Upper West Side, possibly. And you don't really know each other, but you're having lunch. No, we do. Kind of. You did? No, we know each other in the show. You overlapped.

7:23Yeah, I said, let's eat. I think we overlapped one year. One year, okay. And we walked to work, Sherry's idea, obviously. And then we got there, and then I blanked out and then drenched in sweat on the floor because I hadn't eaten. And then she was like, oh, this guy's a real puss. But, you know, this is what the show does to you. At least you saw. and then we got to work and I we forgot about it and then he would say you would tell me the funniest stories you go uh sure I go I go up to this really pretty girl at the bar and say hey no excuse me um aren't you aren't you on tv aren't you like really famous and uh like you're a real a bonafide celebrity.

8:08You're like, you're amazing. You're really talented. And oh my God, I'm so sorry. That's me. Hi.

8:19Dana Carvey:That's a good line. I mean, I'd never heard that. David has game. No, I have to say that's partially true because I would try not to milk it that long when I go, oh my God, wait, are you on TV? Oh no, no, wait, that's me. Hi, I'm Dave.

8:38David's thing is don't call me I'll call you That's you David Whenever you called me I was picked up and everything I called you nothing Like flat line Nothing Sherry I want to jump ahead a few years You were in Europe recently Was it yesterday? No it was like two weeks ago Oh because I keep watching your Instagram And all your ridiculous You kind of do what I do where you just go do these stupid little things I like when people tell me that they go, I like your stupid shit. You do your pointless, unfunny stuff. I like it. That's nice. I like when I get to, I have to turn the air conditioning on.

9:19I love when I get to do it. Um, when I think of something last minute, anything I never, you know, um, do anything that's, uh, thought of, you know, as you can tell, um,

9:33Dana Carvey:right. Like thought out ahead. Yeah. That's why it's funny. I saw a couple of hysterical. Yeah. And then wait, but wait a second. I don't know what's going to happen, but guess who, guess who calls me? Who? Oh, I thought in my head when I saw that, I thought, did she, is she doing an ad? I thought, no, because I did that because I always crack up at those commercials that start with, um, I like to live an active lifestyle, you know, and it's hard with poop in my diapers. And then they go on. And so that's what I was doing. I didn't hashtag Dulcolax or anything like that. I just was, because I did it in Portugal too.

10:14I was doing a bike tour in Portugal. Of course. And I go, I like to live an active lifestyle. And with Dulcolax, I can. Hard seat, soft stool. Thanks, Dulcolax.

10:31Dana Carvey:My mind's blown. First of all, they were tidy and perfect. And you're right. Duck, who called you? And are you going to do a commercial? I just need to cut to the chase. I don't know. I mean, they're going back and forth and talking. And they also represent Colace and Metamucil. Nice. Whoa. You're going to be busy. I'm going to have my own shit show.

10:59Oh, dude. Welcome to my shit show. What do you have to do? Just say you poop your pants sometimes? That's fine. No, you can't. You can't poop. When I was going to do on New Year's Eve with Anderson and Andy on CNN's New Year's Eve, and I had written this thing where Barbara Walters was promoting her own podcast, of course. Right? Yeah. It was Barbara Walters' podcast from Stature to the Streets, brought to you by Dolkalax. Hot interview, soft stool. and here i had it all i i was so proud of this sketch and i i rehearsed it the night before new year's eve and then i went downstairs to meet my friend for dinner and i get a call sherry barbara just passed oh no yeah and ruined your bit jeez yeah but that's the first thing you thought no i i actually thought i i don't think i should do it that's what i thought like you know um you can't do it you know uh but um i ended up after you cried about barbara walters for a while well i stayed up i stayed up all night and i just started writing down things you know and and then they said sherry we want you to say something you know about her on the show Yeah.

12:27Instead of me doing my bit. And then, and so, yeah. So it was good that I started writing something and I, and I wrote something, I go, listen, this is what I wrote, but you know, I'll say whatever you want me to say. And they go, no, every, what we're going to say is what everybody is saying. But what you just are saying is something more personal, you know? And it was really weird because so many people reached out to me as if I was her daughter or something, you know and i felt like i was glad that i said something i you know what did you say and where

13:01Dana Carvey:was it at home base and you came out i'm sure no anders and cooper is like outside yeah they were they were both outside and then they showed me interviewing her as her because on the last day of the view i interviewed her as her and i remember them saying sherry she's never going to go for that she's never going to go for that i'm like that you asked me what i want to do i want it so So they had, I wrote it with Frank Santopietro. I wrote something. They fly me and we are dressed exactly alike. We look exactly like we're sitting across from each other. And she says, you know, the cameras are setting up.

13:39And then she looks at the monitor. She goes, my hair, my hair. And her hair guy comes in. He walks off. And then she's making small talk with me. And then she goes, my hair. Why does my hair look like this? and then her hair guy comes in and judges her and then goes back and then we're right about to to about shoot and then she looks and she goes what the hell is going on with my hair and then he whispers to her he whispers barbara you're looking at sherry's monitor oh my god is that real oh fuck i thought she's gonna go my hair meaning your hair no no no and The greatest thing was she laughed so hard.

14:25And, you know, she's so controlled that to see her laugh, like, you know, really laugh. I mean, it made me feel so good. Still, no one fixed my hair. But no one cared about you. You're the comedian. She's the comedian. Do your jokes, clown. But that was like a highlight of my career in viewing her as her. I will say, Sherry, this is nothing to do with you, and we'll cut it. But one time I got to get interviewed by Barbara Walters, and then just a quick one. And then afterwards we took a picture, and then my mom loved her.

15:07Dana Carvey:So she goes, what's your mom's name? That's not a good one, but you could say it. But I said, oh, Judy. And then she took a piece of paper off my desk and just wrote a note to her. And then I put it in the picture and sent it to my mom. And that's sweet. That's really nice. That was nice of her. She was very sweet. It was just one of these, like, I was part of a seven people, you know, like she'd do an hour of like interesting people. I would think I was watered down, like marginally interesting people. That was like one of her. She had so many specials for top 10 most interesting people. Yeah.

15:43You know? It was something like that. It's funny because my cousin Mary called me in Jersey, and she goes, Sherry, you know, Barbara's leaving. You should do something. And I go, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Two weeks go by, she goes, hey, I called the gang at The View. I said, excuse me? Yeah. I called them at The View, and I told them that I think you should do something. And I go, you did what? And she goes, yeah. I talked to the producer. and um i told him i thought you should just he said it was a good idea and that um he he'd get back to you when it was closer to and i was like all right at least they were really nice to her that's sweet and then like two months later i get a call from the producer gerry your cousin mary called us with a good idea i swear to you it was because of my cousin mary otiri that i got that interview to interview her as her oh that's good she was i my only story is that she wanted

16:39Dana Carvey:to interview me. I was at the Beverly's hotel. I'd had some health issue and I'd gotten the tabloids and people were after me for kind of that, you know, type of interview. Gotta get her to talk. Break silence. So, so I would say that she left 25 voicemails all night long. I want Sherry to do the voice. This is what she would say. Hi Dan, this is Barbara Walters. If we could just talk for a moment, I would appreciate it so much if you would call me back. And it was just all night long, More, more, more voicemails. Are you serious? Yeah. Yeah. She really was. I mean, I saw why she's so successful.

17:16Dana Carvey:I mean, she was like relentless. Yeah. She wanted me to host the show because I remember Meredith Vieira was stuck in Buffalo and it was a big snowstorm. And then I said, oh, you guys, I got a call that morning and I go, you, I'm not good at that. Like, I, I'm not a standup. I'm, I'm very, I'm not good off the cuff. you mean you want a bit to do that you write yes yes yes because sometimes when you go on stern he goes hey do donald trump if he just heard about this and then you have to riff and riff and it's very hard you guys do stand up you know what i mean you have the you know you have that muscle and so and they go oh sherry um look out your window and i looked out my window and there's a car with a driver standing goes uh she wants you in that car get in get in the car wow and Then I went and I did the show and they were like, wow, she was right.

18:10This is not. She doesn't know how to do it. This is not what we thought. I was quiet. I had, I was so nervous. I was, yeah, I was pretty quiet. They didn't ask. Dana, your last four messages from her at 3 a.m. were like, you up, you up. And you're like, these are getting more like a booty call.

18:27Dana Carvey:Well, what would, I would assume that. I want to interview. Yeah, I want to interview. I'm going to throw you one because I think you can talk as Barbara Walters Just like, okay, she's at Baskin Robbins But she can't decide which ice cream she wants And she's really torturing the employees there What is in the Malka Roka?

18:52Didn't take you too long Are they nuts? Are they nuts? Because apparently everyone is dying from them

19:04Dana Carvey:angry aggressive that's funny because I assume you were on SNL that when you had one of your characters and there was a couple of writers around basically you would just riff you know and get things started they'd laugh they write for the hooks or there was a lot of that I'll bet well I started writing um Lorne really wanted me to do her on 2020 so I did and then uh, Carol did Hugh Downs and, um, Hugh, yeah, and probably did it. It was amazing. He was amazing. And one guy told me, he goes, you think you're the biggest star in Arizona? You know, it's Hugh Downs. I go, okay, no argument. I hope he, I hope he's out of the way now.

19:50And then that led to interviewing, you know, she was everywhere. She was, you know, and then once I got comfortable doing her, it was a blast. yeah yeah what about what is what was the lady what was she talking about dana when she was on and she kept acting out her mom coming in the room or something what was that story oh when

20:10Dana Carvey:you're on before there was we were dying because it was just all about your childhood and your fantasy life coming home oh yeah you were like think you're in a soap opera washing so fantasy life and then your mother sometimes would be disappointed and come in the room and say stuff Would you just give us a taste? No, when I was growing up, it was dog eat dog. It was chaos. I mean, things were thrown. There was no semblance of any kind of civility. And so I was really hooked on soap operas because of the civility. And I thought, I want our home life to be like that, where the TV isn't on 24 hours a day.

20:54and then she would come home and I would set up on our radiator and mock bar because in the 70s they always came home and so far I went straight to the bar and opened the carafe and I would put Kool-Aid in a see-through vase and have the ice cubes in my jelly glass you know all those jellies that turned into a glass with the cartoon characters on it and I'd have a scarf around my neck

21:24Dana Carvey:You're by yourself? How old are you? No, she's waiting for mom to get home. You're 10? No, no, no. It was truly, it was like in my mind, she's walking up the outside, the front porch steps, and I'm like, action. And then she walks in, and I said, oh, mother, you startled me. I wasn't expecting you. And I said, I've got my test results back today. and you know how I would always stare at the camera in my mind because in soap operas the person stood in back of them and they kept looking front you know because I'm thinking the camera's right here and I would say I got my test results back and then she still wouldn't answer me and I go would you like to know and she goes who the fuck are you talking to turn around and I'm like cut and let's set this up again you know she can't curse she can't curse and uh and then I would do it um do it again and I would just I would pretend we were like in a in a soap opera and I would be the only one speaking that way but you know um I like it it was just really um me living in a fantasy world and always pretending like I, we had a normal home, you know, I used to do.

22:49Dana Carvey:Did you ever have therapy and talk about this? It's pretty heady stuff. Or is this it with us? We had really, this is pretty much it. I mean, I, I am a licensed therapist. So I, um, we are, we do this to see which one's the least crazy, but we're also crazy. No, but that was, that was the good that came out of it you know what i mean that wasn't that wasn't what i talked about you know it was maybe what made me do that but that was me waking up and okay how can i make my world cope yeah yeah yeah and didn't you do a biblical one too with a ladle or something oh i remember watching i loved uh the ten commandments yes me too and uh i would go into the kitchen and she'd be talking to her friend and she always said, what do you want?

23:42When you'd walk in and interrupt them. Yeah. What do you want? Mother, I thought I'd get maybe a beverage, a glass of Kool-Aid. Hi, Adele. It's nice to see you again. You know, and I was always talking as if we were civilized. And then she said, one more time, what do you want? And then I go, mom, will you? and I would get a ladle and I would fill it with water and I'd go, will you just hand this to me? And she's like, what the fuck, Sherry? And then my mom's friend would say, I'll hand it to you, honey. And then my mom would go, I'll hand it to her. And so she would hand it to me and I would drink it.

24:27And then I would say to her friend, I would say to her friend, you are strong. You stood up to the Malachi. and you are strong like bull you stood up to the malachite i will dwell in this land i will partake of your bounty and she goes dwell in the other room it's like go watch killigan's island i'm constantly having to yell in my mind cut

24:55it was going so good too and then you have to cut her who hired her who did she sleep with to get this job who was there a lady that said um remember this one Dana when she goes I'm keeping this when you say I'm keeping it's funny that's a normal thing with neighbors when you throw shit in their yard that was from when I was a little girl my grandmom before the this was before the the uh in Atlantic City before the casinos and everybody from South Philly was on. Everybody from South Philly was in this area and everybody's grandmother lived with them. And they all policed the street in their house coats and slippers and knee highs.

25:40And I just remember we would all be playing ball in the street and whenever anything would land on like my grandmom's porch or anybody's porch, the grandmother would come up. I keep it now. have your mother come get it. You happy? Yeah. I see that finger. I'll break it. You know, somebody gave her the finger. And, and, but really they just wanted the person's mother to come over so they could, you know, shoot the shit and send your mother.

26:10Dana Carvey:Yeah. Some things are so funny that I can't, I can't laugh at the moment, but I just wanted for a second to go back where the friend says they'll hand you the ladle and you take a drink. And what did you say to the friend after you took the drink? I said, yeah, you are strong. You stood up to the Malachite. I will dwell in this land. I will partake of your bounty. It's all from the Ten Commandments. I know, but it's just so. So how often did this happen? Yeah, it's great. I mean, was it every day? Was it twice a week? Did you have siblings? Yeah, but nobody truly knew what I was doing. nobody cared it was almost like I was truly in my own world and you guys I have to say I wrote a movie about it oh you did?

27:04did we talk about this?

27:06Dana Carvey:yes I think you were starting to write it or something tell us about that Our Lady of Perpetual Sorrow it's the name of the Catholic school she goes to Our Lady of Perpetual Sorrow is playing Tears of St. Joseph's this weekend. Are you going? It's like, the Catholic school names were horrendous. We had OLPH. Is that a normal one? Our Lady of Perpetual Health? Oh, yeah, I think that is. So is Our Lady of Perpetual Sorrow. Oh, it is. Oh, sorrow sounds like more of a bummer. You're right. I know, but I just think it's so funny that that's the name of this book. So you wrote this movie? Yeah. And it's really about this, this part of your childhood.

28:00Dana Carvey:This popped to my head. I don't want to talk about it before. Was she around for your smashing fame blast success? Yeah, she was living. She's in Philly. Was she in disbelief? I mean, because then did it all connect for her? This kid is always acting out. I truly don't think so. I'm imagining her saying she was alone a lot.

28:31Some parents are jealous.

28:33Dana Carvey:Some parents are jealous when they're kids. If they had aspirations, especially sometimes you read that they're kind of actually a little bit jealous of their own child's success in show business if they didn't get to pursue it. I don't think she could have imagined that that would have happened, you know, at all, at all. And then I saw her in an interview once. Somebody interviewed her in Philadelphia and she's like, oh, I always knew like what?

29:05Like what? I mean, my brother and I did make her laugh a lot, But I grew up, I was very influenced by my mom. You know, she wasn't very happy. And so I did whatever I could to make her happy. So she listened. Whenever she laughed, I paid attention. Whenever she laughed. And she listened to comedy albums all the time. She listened to George Carlin, Cheech and Chong. She listened to Bill Cosby. She listened to Woody Allen. And I and I swear it's all that stuff stuck in my head. And even if I didn't understand something, I would understand it in the context of what they said, you know, and that probably.

29:58I think that's what made my sense of humor maybe a little bit more advanced, you know, than my age was listening and memorizing these albums. And I remember when I was in school, I was like second grade and they said, you know, who has it has a joke they'd like to tell? And, you know, a kid is like, why'd the guy throw butter out the window? I don't know. Timmy, why? He went to see a butterfly. Oh, that was very, very good. And I'm like, I went to the doctor the other day and he told me I was schizophrenic. I said, no, I'm not. Neither am I. And this is like second grade. The nun goes, switch your head down, Miss O 'Terry.

30:37And I'm like, oh, rough crowd, rough crowd. You're just doing an album of comedy. I'm eight years old. Killed it in my living room. that's funny because you you probably yeah it's a little more sophisticated when you're seeing what makes her laugh then you go what about that joke if if i don't get it what's the funny part there what does she like about that and you have to break it down a little bit i just heard hearing her laugh was music to my ears sure you know especially in a stressful house and then i remember i never saw her laugh so hard and she she watched this movie where's papa with george Siegel and Ruth Gordon.

31:20And she was crying, laughing so hard. And then I got to do Just Shoot Me with George. And I said that to him. And I said, and you. Jesus Christ.

31:31Dana Carvey:He's easy. He's great. I mean, David was the Fonz of that. No, I don't know if you remember, I was on the set too. If you look at the call sheet, if you haven't won. No, I love George. He was so funny. God damn. And he got such a kick. I go, I never saw my mother as a kid laugh so hard. is when she watched you and Ruth Gordon in Where's Papa. And he's like, really? Really? He was very sweet. It was so fun to do that show, Just Shoot Me. For sure. What was it? You were an assistant that obsessed with Maya or something? No, like I was kind of like, they were treating me as if I were kind of like a dog that they rescued.

32:13Did you do an arc? Yeah. they brought me back again and then I got nominated for an Emmy and I'm thinking to myself this was me sure you got nominated for an Emmy I was like oh my god for SNL and they go no just shoot me and I go that was a cakewalk oh yeah I mean how like I'm writing and I'm like you know working my ass with all night long writing and you know for SNL

32:42Dana Carvey:and I get nominated for like a big going on a vacation doing your show was like the first sitcom i ever did and i was like my god this is amazing no matter what you're going to be written for god that's exactly how i felt getting on it and i had all these great writers and i'm like they'll put you 90 % there though if you think of an ending just or if you think of something you just put in i'm like so wait you're writing for me every week i know and then i just say it and it's funny and i'm like this is a miracle and david what was so wonderful is they got your voice and so that was interesting to watch like you saw the beginning of the show and everything and then it was just like they knew how to write for you because your voice was so um was so strong you know and uh i was just and then i remember they're going miss uh mr turi what do you want in your in your eggs I go, what's your angle?

33:39What do I want in my eggs? What do you mean? What, you're bringing me breakfast? What do you want? Yeah. It's such a gift. Those things are good. You get on a sitcom that's good and it's just so much fun. So, Terry, could you hand me this ladle? Okay. No. It was just, I couldn't believe what a great atmosphere it was. I remember when you pitched, what if my character recites the whole 10 commandments movie? And we were like, well, it feels like it would be too long. It's funny when you're a kid, those movies are on like three times a month. And then when you're an adult, you never see it. I know, I know.

34:15We waited all year. And then I remember moving to California and I was going to Ralph's in my car and I had my turn signal on and this guy just right in front of me and got right. And I put my car in park. I didn't park it. I put it in park, got out, went over to the guy and he gets out. It was Charlton Heston. No. Yes. Wow.

34:40Dana Carvey:And I was like. Dana, what would he say? I've never seen you before. No, I'm doing Phil Hartman. Charlton Heston was, was, um, the host when I was there. And, uh, Lauren's dream would church lady would be with, you know, Moses. Yes, yes, yes. And then there was a meeting in the office and just not my cup of tea. And then Lauren kept pushing. And I was like, no, no, no, it's all right. You don't have to do it. You don't have to do it. But that was Lauren's dream. And Billy Crystal, his album, I cracked up. My mom loved Billy Crystal and I loved him. And he did. Do you ever think of the worst casting ever?

35:22And he said, how about Edward G. Robinson in The Ten Commandments? Where's your messiah now, Moses? Where's your messiah now? i remember that i listened to billy crystal it was funny even when i was eight years old yeah

35:36Dana Carvey:yeah yeah

35:41Dana Carvey:fancy saying you found yourself some kind of god person yeah i was the same way i saw it when i was seven or something and then i came home and there was a bible and i started reading it i was like completely converted i know i know it made me feel you know because i went to catholic school and it just like you know reinforced everything and i was such a big jesus fan um growing up when i used to sherry when i was younger i'd be watched like the rock block of like happy days and the morning shirley and whatever else then mash and shit i'd always want my mom to watch it with me i don't know why i wanted her to laugh yeah and then she'd just be kind of half paying attention luckily we didn't have phones she'd be on her phone but she'd stare at it and then she kind of drift off and i'm like oh this is a shitty one you know because i want her so badly left but you know it just wasn't her cup of tea you could tell but she would be excited that i liked it but i i was the same way you wanted her to crack up oh i wanted because she was always stressed oh my god it was like she was not happy and that was before you know like antidepressants and and you know what i mean yeah they were raw dogging it yeah they were raw dogging it yeah she I don't think.

36:53Yeah. Yeah. She wasn't even a drinker. I'm like, mom, go ahead and drink. I'll give you this. It's the dad left. You got three asshole kids. I mean. I know. I remember smelling pot one time. And, but here's a funny thing. I used to like clean her room, make her bed. And, you know, so she'd come home and be really happy, you know, and I'll never forget lifting her mattress up. And I was a kid and I'm like, there was a gun, a dildo and a bag of something. a satchel and this was me a go bag this was me i'm like the fuck i was a kid and i just thought i don't know what's in that satchel but i'm not gonna look no that was heartbreaking more dildos no no no i'm thinking it's gotta be it's it might be bullets or drugs or or whatever but i'm like you know a little girl innocent making my mom's bed and it's five grand a go bag she just goes Sorry, guys.

37:52Got to go passport.

37:53Dana Carvey:Every kid at some point rifles through their parents. Oh, my God. My brother took my mom's dildo. He must have been like five. And he would go up the street, put it to his neck in front of all his friends. He goes, if I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the morning. And it would make his voice.

38:13He was doing dildo bits at school. They didn't know what it was. And he would just turn it on and put it to his neck. and uh well the folk music

38:24Dana Carvey:mashup was pretty mashup and I can see all his friends let me try let me try and uh this dildo is your dildo this dildo is my dildos seem fun if you don't know what they're for right and my mom of course is not going to say where's my dildo we're like what's a dildo yeah but that's in the movie she's like did you see my squirt gun it's kind of like a squirt gun it's kind of how do I describe it you see my rocket You know, my Judd Apatow does a bit where he says, the guy had this growing up in high school. And he says, it's hard to whisper. He's like at a party going, that girl had an abortion.

39:02He's like, okay, shh. She said, you need a volume on that.

39:09Dana Carvey:See that girl by the punch.

39:16Everyone just thought about Judd Apatow and they're like, that's a rough joke. out at his joke uh yeah that was funny

39:27so sherry buddy sherry buddy now you never caught up with pudgy wudgy pudgy wudgy pudgy wudgy was in france france you were screaming at some pudgy wudgy yeah that was when i was on the beach in new jersey and when we were kids there was you're keeping up with

39:48Dana Carvey:the Kardashians. I'm keeping up with the fudgy wudgy man at the Jersey Shore. Fudgy wudgy! Fudgy wudgy! What's up? Dude, you hit that? Are you blogging your day? Well, I'm actually watching my weight. I shouldn't have a fudgy wudgy. I'm watching my weight. He says it twice. Just you. Improv is listening. That got like a million or something. and i'm like i'm sure screaming you know because we were kids it was a fudgy wedgie guy and these guys when we were kids were all like like old vietnam vets and they were carrying this freezer on their back they didn't have the wheels and they were miserable and dripping and just miserable guys but we would you know scream fudgy wedgie because i said to my friend in marriage i go what if we screamed as adults like we did when we were kids for the fudgy wedgie guys so that's what But I did that.

40:48But then when I caught up to him and I saw how good looking he was, I was like, who was that asshole screaming? Because I'm just a lady. I think she ran off.

40:59Dana Carvey:I saw that little attitude at the end. Yeah. I know. He was hot. He got all up in your shot. Very hot. But he was a kid, too. And then a friend of a friend called me and she goes, that's my friend's son. And I'm like, yeah, that's right. That's right. and then the next day or two days later I did it that guy was even better looking than that guy and I went up and screamed and I was like holy these fudgy wudgy guys are not my fudgy wudgy guys anymore did you do your fudgy wudgy bit again? yeah I did but now everybody's like oh fudgy wudgy and I'm like they were doing a fudgy wudgy calendar because these guys are so hot so I think I pretty much gave her the idea The one who owns the Fudgy Wudgy Kind of franchise And then they wanted me to come out And do the calendar And scream their names Or just be in the calendar And I'm like okay I go out and She was supposed to pay for the air Didn't pay for it Look at how far this story got Didn't pay for it She told me where she was putting me up She didn't put me up there It was like a dive motel And she just like kind of got me under the out there under false pretenses and it never happened.

42:17And she kind of fudged the truth. Yeah. She, yeah. She fudged the truth, but yeah. Yeah. It's so funny. Like what people like it's, it's crazy.

42:28Dana Carvey:Yeah. I would say immediately when I heard it is that it wasn't so much enthusiastic. There was an aggression to it. And then saying fudgy wudgy, super innocent, silly ice cream, but a real aggressive I mean so that's a lady doing instead of a kid I just thought I'll just say that and I just wanted to make her laugh you know and I was like uh my friend left because that's what we did when the when the ice cream man came down the street my brother would scream at the top of his lungs wait a minute and then you have to go get the dollar from your mom and And then, you know, make sure it stopped, the truck stopped.

43:10Yeah. You also do stuff. Sometimes I do like a museum. Like when I'm on the road, you go to do something you never do. And then you just do bits inside because like you're in a museum, right? Oh, yeah. I was at the Palace of Versailles. Oh. And then you're filming shenanigans. Yeah. You know, you just can't. It's fun. You know, because I was looking at everything. and I was just, you know, getting, I was interested and then a little bored. Interested? A little bored. So whenever I got bored, I was just, I would just like film what I saw. Of course. On the thing. It's funny. It's always funny to do that shit.

43:51It kills time. We're on the road. We go, let's go to the zoo. Let's go to a museum. Whatever's in the town. And I never think of that when I'm home. It's always when I'm away, something will make me say, oh, let me shoot this. Let me, let me get this, you know? Well, you're out of your element, I think. You're out of what you do every day. Yeah. And so suddenly you have to have new adventures to think of new bits and stuff. Yeah. I mean, yeah, I guess so. You know, you have to be, you know, inspired. And I'm not inspired when I'm home. Right. Wow, this is amazing.

44:24Dana Carvey:Well, with the Ducalux, what is it? Ducalux? With that one that you say to your friend, I'll be there. I'm going to drive past frame and you're going to hit it like in turn. Yeah.

It was like a movie, basically. Yeah. Just him there, 50 years, you know, and just, what can you say about it? Because Lauren's kind of shy about his feelings, you know? Really?

That's how you know if they were there?

50:31Yeah. Yeah, Jack. I think Jack came out mainly for Adam's song. And then I think he went out because I think he was in not 100 % health. I don't know for sure, but when I walked by my course, graced him with my presence. Are you doing grown-ups? Easy. New grown-ups. Grown-ups three or four? Easy Liza Gibbons.

50:58Wait, you were Adam's ex in grown-ups. I'm called Liza Gibbons. Easy Nancy O'Dell. Wait, you were in grown-ups two, was it? Or first, or what? yeah too that was that was oh and you you fucking wear your barrette that adam gave you and i's so hilarious um and i love steve buscemi played my husband oh that's right that's cool that's right oh my god how many times people go i saw you in grown-ups because it's on every single day oh my gosh you know the people say you know this new gen then new generation they say um aren't you the girl from uh from grown-ups you know because yeah they never watched the snl but um no but yeah uh that was that was really fun i think i get grown-ups more than anything now because it's on

51:46Dana Carvey:yeah for sure i don't know young people the big dumb comedy the of the of the 90s and in era are you know they kind of stand out you know because they're just trying to be balls out funny physically and they're silly i don't know i think that some of the young people there's so much they like you know what i would love seeing it on instagram i love when they show um outtakes of tommy boy oh my god i crack up so hard yeah i love it because when i first saw it i never saw it i didn't know you and him together were just i mean on and off your friendship was just so adorable but i could not i cracked up at you two like just playing like brothers right just fucking up lines and and he would try to screw up every line and he'd laugh so hard or yell at the crew and half the time i don't even react because i'm like oh my god we're on hour 15 you can't keep doing this he would be like mayor of the set we'd walk in and he goes hey steve how are you is did little jimmy play this weekend okay is he first base i'm like are you running for mayor let's go do the scene okay then and then um but the the one thing he did that i didn't do that i think i admitted that was so rude is when i went to his trailer to leave and it was after about a month of shooting and i went in there and he got his shit and shockingly all his wardrobe was folded on the bed and then i go you fold all your wardrobe when you leave he goes yeah don't you and i go he goes where is it i go i don't know all over the room i just take it off and put my clothes on leave he's like what a dick i go i know right i didn't know you did that i swear to god that's how stupid i am so he would fold his little outfits on and put them on the bed with the shoes so when wardrobe came he didn't have to do that because they're gonna throw him in a big bag and wash them but that was like a nice thing of growing up like he learned yes I didn't learn that part.

53:53So that's admittedly me being wrong in that situation. But overall, I remember the Tommy boy one that I laughed. The hardest that was when he's on the bed with me and he goes, I go, he goes, Zelinsky's going to come and he'll save us. I go, yeah, you're like, he seems like a nice guy. And I said it weird. And he goes, oh, my God, what a dick. He just starts laughing so hard. But I don't even know if it ruined that take. Wasn't that in? Wasn't that in? It was in the movie. and I think they used that tape because it was a pause. That's so funny. And then he started laughing. That was funny. And his laugh was so hilarious when I saw him.

54:28No wonder that is so. Yeah. It's not even like he's working. You know what I mean? It's not even like you guys are working. You're just like goofing and getting to say funny lines and crack up at each other. Yeah, 100%. All right, we'll let you go.

56:19What I'm so excited about is I'm known for doing great charcuterie boards. And so I went to Philly and my cousin works for this gourmet grocery store called De Bruno Brothers. They have six stores in Philadelphia, all over the area. And so they asked me if I would design my own charcuterie board for their site. And it's called the charcuterie board. Now, you're asking, fellas, Sherry, what will I get in my charcuterie box? I'll tell you what you'll get. Fellas, you're going to get a Maestri prosciutto Italiano. You are going to get De Bruno Brothers Italian Market pepperoni. You are going to get Colton Bassett Stilton and you are going to get Parmesan Reggiano and a cheese called a Comte Essex Reservation.

57:18This cheese is so delicious. And then you're also going to get Olive Tomponade. You are going to get Dried Asian Pears. That's going to go with the Stilton cheese beautifully. And then a Sea Salt Crostini. Oh, you're going to get Mike's hot honey and also a bottle of truffle oil. There's truffle cheese, but I didn't want to put anything in just in case you didn't want truffle. You didn't like truffle. So you get a beautiful bottle of truffle oil so you can put on whatever you want. And for dessert, you're going to get a De Bruno Brothers toffee and pretzel milk chocolate bar. These are so great for any occasion.

From the publisher

The guys welcome comedy legend Cheri Oteri for a laugh-filled conversation about her Barbara on Barbara Walters interview (it makes sense...) and why she once wished her life was a soap opera. She also shares tales of doing “stupid little things” across Europe—and impersonates the women at her nail salon. Plus: behind-the-scenes SNL stories and why Tommy Boy is cinematic gold.
