Ike Barinholtz

0:00Hello there, everybody. This is Dana Solo. It's a little scary. My partner in crime, David Spade, is flying right now. He's flying to Singapore today to do a corporate date. No, I made that up. But anyway, I'll give you a little taste of him if you miss him. Everybody's like, anyway, that's my David Spade. Our guest today, where David is on the interview, was really a blast. We put him in one of our favorites, Ike Barinholtz, who was on MADtv for like seven years, I think, did all these characters. He's got a big resume, The Mindy Project, and currently Running Point on Netflix with Cade Hudson.

0:48Chet Hanks, that's pretty cool. Justin Theroux. So we go through all those shows. We go through his career. He has a Nepo dad. You'll find out about that. And he is sort of a brainiac. He's one celebrity Jeopardy and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? And raised literally billions, millions for charity. So very fun. A hard laugher came to play. So I think this one will cheer you up for sure. Ike Barinholtz, everybody.

1:26I can't wait for the 50th anniversary of this five days. I skipped the SNL 50th, man. Had something to do. Wait, were you? I was wondering, you must have had the flu or something. Yeah, I had the flu that was lingering. So I was kind of, by the day of the show, I felt great. But I was 3 ,000 miles away. Yeah. But yeah, when I had to make the call, I was like, I don't have the oomph. Yeah, no. Well, if he doesn't have the oomph, we don't want him. um marcy look up oh no it's a scandinavian word for laissez-faire i believe for lazy fair did you audition for snl we don't have any now line but we we asked that we have you have a lot to talk about so i did i did not audition for snl when i in like 1998 i remember people from nbc came to improv olympic to watch you know to scout and i remember that oh my god and it was the worst too because the owner god bless her sharna she like invited like 50 of us to go on stage at once so like everyone was like put you're pushing people aside to like subway character yeah yeah yeah oh my god how sickening yeah it was it was just irreprehensible but uh so then i i i I moved to Amsterdam for a couple of years.

2:53And then when I came back, I was like, I want to do SNL, but before SNL, I even auditioned, I got cast on mad TV. And so I was kind of there. Basically the same thing. So you're on doing sketches and you stayed there a long time though. Right. Are you one of the longest? No, there's different versions online, by the way, the last one I got before this was 2002 to 2007. That's, that's right. There's 2009 to two. I mean, there's, I mean, it's, it's a very important information. So it's natural. There's going to be discrepancies online about it. Mine says 1886. It's gotta be wrong. Oh man. I did an amazing impression of Rutherford B.

3:41Hayes. That really got me passed on it. That guy gets literally no press. I do him too, by the way, I've done them. Just, just give me a second. Not now. I'm Ruth of P. Hayes. Ruth of P. President of this here United States. I don't say it's accurate, but it's the stab. I'm Ruth of P. Ruth of P. So were you like, did that disappoint you at all that you weren't on SNL or you were just glad to be on a sketch show every week and paid? My dream was to always be on SNL. We grew up in a very SNL heavy home. Like we, some of my earliest memories are watching like, like Eddie Murphy, the 83 year with like Billy Crystal and stuff.

4:32So we were obsessed with it in our house. And when you're in the comedy scene, especially the improv scene in Chicago in the nineties, that's your goal. But, you know, listen, man, I, I, I was bussing tables at Morton. on la cienega and i know the rest of them there's you know the rest of them it's it's no longer there sadly uh bus boy i was a bus boy we've all been bus boys the hardest job in the world bus busing tables it's so hard um especially there because there's like so many famous people you know and you're like kind of like starstruck like one time i saw pete rose there and i was so excited you know and i walked past him and he grabbed my arm he goes hey give my wife a diet coke get out of here and i was like okay get out of here that fast jesus and you said hey pete i just won 20 bucks i i promise that guy you would say get my wife a diet coke i bet you can't finish that ribeye charlie oh boy um uh but so but it was it was it was you know to get an offer to be on on a tv show especially a sketch comedy show was was just a dream so i was just kind of like great let's do it and there was really great writers there great some great a lot of great people came out you're with bobby lee around then too he's funny i see oh my friend i know i know you're friends with bob you've been friends with bobby for a very long time which i love business acquaintances yes and josh myers that's the great josh myers yeah josh myers and uh michael mcdonald was still there jordan jordan peele and keegan michael key came while we were there uh nicole parker You did have a big fat cast at that time.

6:14Yeah, we had a big fat cast. Dude, I like that when I look at your impressions. When does Bo Bice impression come up these days? Not as much as before. Yeah, you have some quirky impressions. Can we get the off-label obscure Carrie Underwood, right? Is that him? Rutherford B. Hayes. Bo Bice. Oh, my God. I mean, I'm still doing it a lot, obviously. uh uh i i i shouldn't say this but i feel like bobeis if you told me he stormed the capital i'd be like yeah bobeis is um typecast uh but yeah we you know mad tv definitely did a lot of impressions of the moment of course we got stuck with that too it's like whoever that week like go around the room can you cover this one can you and you just have to work on some something close was there ever one that you guys were like bummed that you're like this is obviously this is a bad impression i don't want to do it oh it's there's someone super hard you know usually during the primary seasons politically they'd say you know you're john lickwick from uh pennsylvania circuit four and then you look at the impression like hi i'm john liquid and you know there's no hook you know and then lorman say are you ever going to get representative john lichnick and i said no i said i said lord no it's not gonna happen it's not gonna happen but the key to impressions if you can't do it just say the name of who you're doing right at the get-go oh yeah that's it i'm john lichnick and they don't know but did you what was your best one i'm just curious that you thought was the most accurate because i saw you did arnold uh but my arnold was not great especially that was a huge bummer because will sasso was on the show i really kind of like replaced him and he did the funniest arnold so then i had to come in and do my kind of half-baked one that wasn't that great and it wasn't funny and it wasn't well it's already good but wills but wills was like like a tour de force yeah um you know i kind of look like like mark walberg so you know i sometimes do mark walberg come in come on sit down maybe i'll give you a knuckle sandwich if you're lucky yeah that's it that was kind of you know um but there was a lot of times too where i would just get i remember one time i got assigned they were doing a fraser parody and the writer's like you're gonna play john mahoney who was the father on fraser who's a great actor yeah and i was like i can't play he's like a older man and i remember sitting in we did a lot of uh prosthetic makeup yeah yeah yeah like i think more than us and i remember sitting in makeup for like two hours as they're aging me and i was complaining so much and i was on set i only had like three lines and one of them was i'm john mahoney and uh i complained so much that they cut down my lines where i only said that in the sketch five hours of prosthetic oh my makeup six hours to get it off getting it off when i put that like alcohol directly in your eyeball and they're like oh don't worry 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.

9:28I'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, look like the blob. And then you, for the penguin, I would just say, I'm going to sleep as a penguin guys. We'll do this. Give me a head start tomorrow. Who's the guy who plays the penguin now? Nice looking movie star Yeah and it's like he's Some agent somewhere's going You're throwing away your good looks You got good looks You're behind rubber I can't monetize this kid He got enough good looking parts Now he just won something for the Penguin I want to actually come up with a lit cigar At some point It's a magic trick Well I know you're I know you're from your Raphael Palmero i like they bother putting that in your wikipedia what the hell is a rafael pomaro he was a baseball player for the texas rangers and he was he was like a big steroid guy and he kind of famously went in front of congress and was like i did not take steroids right so we did like a parody called like oops i just took steroids or something i can't remember what it was but yeah that was another uh impression that i still am getting a lot of love for people are constantly asking me to do.

10:50Oh, really? A baseball player who retired in 1996. What did they do the thing like, because I noticed when Mark McGuire and those went up to Congress that they were so roided up. By the time they got to Congress, they didn't bother to buy fitted suits. So like they got little pencil necks and giant suits, and it was so hot. Gigantic suits. I'm totally natural. Look like David Byrne. I'm wearing a 52 large And now I weigh 160 pounds But I'm telling you I did nothing That 290 I put on I know my head is three times the size of a normal man's I know that Senator Lucknick I have a huge jaw and forearms for no reason I love the callbacks It was representative Well it was your character I loved it He became a senator You know he became a senator I'm going to run with it.

11:47So you did a lot of work before you got on Mad TV, and you went to Amsterdam for two. Who went with you to Amsterdam? So I was there. So there was a theater that a bunch of dudes in Chicago started. Because, like, Dutch comedy back in the day was very. Josh Myers, right? They loved. Yeah, Josh Myers was there. Seth Myers was there, and I kind of came in right after him. But I was there with Brendan Hunt, who I don't know if you guys watched Ted Lasso. He's coach. Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh yeah. I love that guy. Yeah. And then, well, I was there for about, just about two years and we had great people come through.

12:22Sudeikis came through there for a year. Suda Cakes. Jordan Peele. Suda Cakes was there. Jordan Peele. Okay. Kowski. Kay Cannon, who directed me in Blackers. Amber Ruffin. Just all these really, really funny people. And it was a really fun time too. Cause it was like before, like it was like before nine 11, you know what I mean? Like it wasn't the Euro yet. it was it was uh the gilder yeah so it was really uh uh nice and uh i still talk to a lot of the sex workers i befriended while i was there we still keep in touch sex workers okay it does a dutch accent is tricky but the myers brothers josh and zeth didn't they live there in high school or something they have a big affinity for it well they just they just really like josh kind of went native for a while and uh dated like a dutch woman for a long time and yeah the dutch people as a people they're very like reserved they're very but they're very honest like they're they would come up to you after the show and be like uh i did not think you were the funniest one i thought your black friend was funnier but um the woman the song about sex was uh very good as well.

13:36So congratulations and goodbye. And you're like, thank you. If I had a dollar for every time my wife said that, because she's half Dutch, her dad was Dutch. And she says, yeah, I listened to the podcast and Ike was a terrific guest. You were not at a 10. You were a little bit late there. I don't know why you were late. The representative Lutnak comeback was very entertaining. I'll see you at dinnertime, bitch. I go, bitch, why do you? Why do you have to say bitch? That's not, that's unacceptable.

15:14So when did you start feeling like just either as a kid or high school, like, I think I should do this. I'm good at this. Because on your Wikipedia page, it said considered to be a lawyer or a politician. Okay. Yeah, growing up in Chicago. I mean, my goal was Representative Lucknick when I was a child. But as I got older, I went to college and I knew I didn't want to be in politics. I was a terrible student in college. And I kind of eventually got kicked out of college because I stopped going to class. And I was drawn to acting and I didn't, and I was drawn to comedy, but I didn't know where to start.

15:55And my dad took us to see the improv Olympics. I think like their, maybe their 15 year anniversary or their 10 year anniversary. And I saw improv for the first time. And I saw Adam McKay and I saw Amy Poehler. And specifically the person who made me laugh so hard that I was like, I need to do this was Tim Meadows. Oh, great. Like, he is, to me, like, one of just the funniest people in the world. Absolutely. And watching him on stage just kind of enter a scene and make a random joke, it got such a big laugh. I was like, oh, I'm signing up for improv classes. I got to do this. So I was like 18 at the time, and I really kind of jumped all in.

16:41It was so much fun. And you're 18 at that point, and how old were you when you got Mad TV? Was that kind of your biggest break, and then you went from there. Oh, that was my first break. Yeah, I got mad TV. I was probably 25-ish. Yeah, okay. Wow. And it was great. I was making that late night money, which when you're broke, you're like, I'm basically Steve Jobs. And then as you learn, you're like, oh, late night money is terrible. It's not in the grand scheme of Joe. Yes. You know, acting. Yeah, but you're on a job. You worked with Del Close. That was Farley's guy. He used to talk a little bit.

17:16Yeah, man. oh yeah i hung out with farley a couple oh good i gotta i gotta meet him a couple times um uh and uh he was like my idol you know like i loved him so much and i remember one time he came i was a busboy at second city um and i remember he would come in once in a while and he was always so nice he was midwest nice in midwest wisconsin nice wisconsin nice and one night he came up to me He was like, hey, you know where Johnny is? You know, his brother, Johnny. And I was like, oh, yeah. He was actually, he's at this party on Lincoln. And he's like, you want to go? Can you take me there? And I'll never forget.

18:00Like, I turned to my. Really? So he says that. Go ahead. Go ahead. Finish this story. I turned to my friend, my buddy Brian from high school. It's like, hey, do you. I quit. Can you take me and Chris Farley to this party? He was like, what? What? And we went there. and we were i remember we parked and we're walking right under the l tracks train tracks and chris is like i gotta pee i gotta pee and i was like i gotta pee too and we started peeing and i remember he turns to me he goes want to play swords you know and i was like yeah yeah yeah and i i kind of turn we're kind of you know mixing our urine right and he just kind of turns and just sees He's kind of on my foot.

18:39He goes, I cut your foot off.

18:47I remember laughing so hard. I couldn't metabolize. David, you knew Chris well. Did you ever sword fight with him? Story checks out. Did you guys sword fight? But yes, that sounds like classic buffoonery. I think I'm not just saying this because I'm on this podcast right now. I think this weekend we're going to show, I have three daughters from six to 12. And I think we're going to show them Tommy boy. Okay. It's a 30th anniversary I heard. Uh, maybe 20. That's a bummer when you, I heard it's the 15th actually. It just came out. Y 'all I would never say anything higher than 15. That sounds sickening.

19:27I don't know. I can't believe I've been around 30 years, do anything like, Oh, gross. You look, you look really good though, man. Like you're really hanging on. Like it's a lot of people like they get smashed by the wall, but you're looking good. Unbelievable. Thank you, buddy. Look at this new sweater on. I'm trying to zhuzh it up for you. It's good. It's the beard. It's very good. It's working. Oh yeah. Tommy boy is pretty much surefire. I think for your kids. Yeah, it is. I'll probably just hit a quick fast forward on the scene where you're. Oh, that's right. You know, sometimes they take that out of, when it's on TV and stuff.

20:04And 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. Yeah. So some people never see that part. Yeah. If you're watching it on TBS, that's not in there. But we're going to go ahead and pay the Apple TV. You'll probably be getting a little check in the mail. You're welcome. It's not a competition. But if something doesn't work out or it doesn't quite fly, you pop in. Wings World 1. One or two. But it's not a competition. I'm just saying I love Tommy Boy. I think it's a classic, but if it doesn't work out, you're like, what do we do?

20:39Well, let's not surf the web or go on Instagram. 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? Can't do it without Chris. 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, it's just a good solid break pad movie. Do they push back at the co-star who knew Chris better than anybody? I said, well, I can't do it. You can get someone else. Yeah, psych. I think it's a prequel where you go back to the founding of Callahan Autophones.

21:21Oh, okay. And you have basically someone playing like young Brian Dennehy. Oh, you go way back. And you go way back. Yeah. So this is way before Chris. So really what you're looking for. A hundred years before that. Instead of looking for a modern day Chris Farley, which is impossible, you find a modern day Brian Denny. A young Brian Denny. Which I think is doable. I think that is doable. That's interesting because looking at all your stuff, you're a writer. Right. A real writer, not a comedian. Not some bullshit. And you're a co-producer, co-writer of your current project. Now, how do you say it, Dana?

22:01Now, I'd say that's the best pitch for a Farley, that I've heard for a Tommy Boy sequel. You slap on an executive producer, you do a cameo like Stallone in Staying Alive with Travolta, and you do that little turn, and it's David Spade. Boom. And then you walk, yeah, boom, boom. So much booms coming. That's all I mean. Do you like money? Do you like money? Do you like dollar bills? You like money? We ask that a lot by our agents and managers. I don't think I want to fly to Malaysia for a one-nighter. Guess you don't like money. Guess you don't like money. Well, do you want to go with me? Spade likes money.

22:35Ah, Spade. Do you want to do impressions of Joe Biden for the Saudi royal family? I don't. Well, that, because they don't care what they pay. No tax. We pay the tax. We paid the shitbox golfer$400 million. He can't make a putt. My friend, you are going to go home with this lion. Yes. It will fly with you on the plane. We kill you when we're back to the airport. So we get it all back. The key to that is my friend. That's it. My friend. My friend. My friend. Listen to me, my friend. We are going to make you so rich if you want to be rich. And I'm from Denver. I just adopted this accent by watching too much a la Barsi television.

23:15Too much. All right, go ahead. Running point. Now, I have heard it both ways. I think it's running point. And people say running point. I thought it was the Mediocre Rascals. Wasn't that the name of it? That was the name we tried to get. The Mediocre Rascals. I just thought it would be... The little rascals own any rascal. And Eddie Murphy would have a bone to pick. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Luckily we'd get involved. It's whatever you want it to be. You could say running point. You could say running point. You could say running point. 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 and i'm i call it what's the point no no no i was just gonna say okay i gotta put this in i'm gonna watch it on netflix i watch I think it's a VCR.

24:19All right. I'm from the eighties. I, I mime it even if I'm clicking on digital and you guys, you guys nailed it. It's very, there's a genre of that kind of workplace, fun, single camera. And I honestly was thinking to myself last night, I don't feel like these people are acting. They're having fun. So whatever you, you, I mean, you, you kind of, you're renewed for a second season. We got, my, my sources told me we were picked up for another season. but you do something you're part of putting it together or is this you're an executive producer with mindy yeah mindy mindy uh came to my partner dave fast and i was like you guys love basketball we work together the mindy project we have this show that i think could be a funny kind of family business show at a basketball club and and we were we loved her we had such a fun time working with her it had been a while and we had just finished up a thing and so we we kind of spent a long time kind of breaking the show and what it could be and and uh we kind of it became very very real when kate hudson was like i want to play this part because that was like wow that's a real that's a real no fool and movie star yeah um yeah she's fantastic in it and you got justin theroux too who's just too cool for school of the show He's so cool.

25:41Friend of the show. He's my best dressed friend. He does dress cool. Yeah. And it's just like, I think he has clothes that are like all bespoke, like little leather jackets that are only made for him. Can I throw something? Speakeasy. Can I throw something about, this has been a thing that I've talked, we talked to Justin about it. I just have a thing that like he would be the perfect guide in a Rod Serling biopic. Oh my God. He looks so much like him. And he really does vibe, but I don't, it doesn't have to happen, but I just, yeah. Picture. If you will, if you like picture, if you will, a tiny leather jacket, picture, if you will, um, Dracker Cologne.

26:32Well, I love that. He's so polite. I can't think of the other stuff. Instead of think of this was the first thing. Think of this. Then he said, picture, if you will. I watched two episodes of Twilight Zone yesterday. Which one? Wally Cox with the first AI woman that falls in love with him. Wally Cox from an old TV show, what? Hollywood Squares? Marlon Brando's best friend, by the way. They would have sex with the same woman. At the same time, they were like very famously like Coxman together. He was on that show. I'm not mistaken. You know, Wally Cox was on. Eskimos.

27:20Wally Cox was on. What did you say? Because I want to laugh. Eskimos. Eskimos. Eskimos. Eskimos brothers. But Wally Cox was the bottom left square when I was a kid on 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 Oh that's tremendous Smells like pussy in here I think Yeah Smells like that's a That was repeated But anyway Back to your show Scared straight What But so you get you get Goldie Hawn's daughter, Katie and Katie Hudson, who I think is tremendous. Amazing. And it's so much like so fun, like stories of like her stories are so crazy, you know, like, oh, yeah.

28:22You know, it's my birthday and it's crazy. Like Paul McCartney, you know, was there. And at one point he looked over to Barack Obama and told him this. Jesus. And when people tell you those stories, I'm like, what do I have? I'm like, oh, really? You're like, this was all a pizza hunt? One time Bobby Lee and I went to Las Vegas together. That's your story. And we couldn't find his pubes. Wow. So he couldn't go on that night. I've seen Bobby Lee naked more often than I've seen my own wife naked. So I've seen him naked three times. Plot thickening. Bobby is hilarious. He is one of the all time funniest.

29:04He's got a very funny thing about him. He's got a great burn. He acts real serious and just looks over. I like when he stops. And he does the death stare. In his podcast. 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. I think I'm going to take off. That's funny.

29:29by the way Dana on a side note you don't have to listen like when I was when I was golfing 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 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 uh 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 some people say you're cutting out on me you're cutting out on me i have a brother who says that to me you're cutting out on me well i'm not doing it intentionally bitch oh yeah they're mad at you affection you're cutting out you're cutting out on me it's not what uh so the show's a smash show is picked up which is i thought you you're in it a little bit or where where are you as an actor no i i'm not in it i i just kind of wrote it and and was there while we were shooting it my dad is in it my dad is an actor he plays the family attorney i saw him um so maybe you saw him the attorney on jury duty yeah the judge he the judge on jury duty.

30:46And he always wanted to be in show business. You get in show business. Now he's in show business. I got a Nepo dad. And he has a good, good spot. That's cool. A reverse. I've never heard of that. A Nepo, cause a Nepo, I understand people get mad at Nepo babies. I don't, by the way, I think they're good a lot of the time. They're fine. But, but Nepo. Unnecessary evil. Everyone can get, yeah, everyone can get behind a Nepo dad. Yeah. Let them have fun. Yeah. What are you, what are you going to, and by the way, who I think has a shit ton of charisma is Chet Hanks. Oh my God. That's something else.

31:20Someone says to me, it's like, I can't believe Chet Hanks is such a good actor. I'm like, his dad is Tom Hanks. That's top 10 of all time. The apple ain't going to fall that far from the tree. If he's half as good, he's going to get a couple Oscars. Come on. Even if he only got three Oscars, that would be good. Yeah, yeah. I only have two. Best original, score for the Brutalist. Did you do that peppy tune? I did it. I did all of my little Casio keyboard. I saw Ignora last night because I had not seen it. Again with Ignora. I loved Ignora. What was the real name of it? What's it called? Anora. Anora.

32:04Okay. Pardon me. No disrespect. Ignora is some disrespect, by the way. No, I only saw Dune 2 and Conclave of the nominees? How many have you seen? I loved Conclave. I loved Dune 2. I loved Enora, and I loved The Brutalist, and I think that's all I thought. Will you watch The Brutalist again? Never. Never. It's very long. It's the feel-bad movie this summer. Yeah, it's really brutal, but I really did think it was cool. Was Dune 2 with the popes? No, the popes were They had to get a new pope So they sequester him Not unlike a jury They put them all in this big room in the Vatican And then it's a Game of Thrones He can't be pope You need to be a little heavier You can't have a stick figure as a pope No anorexia popes They need to be round Marcy
