RE-RELEASE - Chevy Chase

27:49Billy came a little later. He did like three years. I think he's from, he was in Chicago killing people. Oh, right. Billy, because you're both six foot four. Lord, we'd like someone as tall as Chevy and then they brought in Bill. You're both giants. Yeah. Now, Gilda Radner, she's just a magic person on camera. I know. Is she still around? that's all right it's okay come on it's pretty bad that's pretty pretty bad no no i love to i've said things privately that would make your hair apparently i'm not being private exactly this is going where the microphone this is our first live podcast it's all over europe everything's out there no anything can be cut so you can say anything yeah who do you who are your favorite snl people do you over the years i know you probably don't want this one gilda for For sure.

28:37Danny, John, even. And he's dead. Phil, it happens to the best of us. Yeah, that's what I mean. Yeah. God. Who would you put in that? Wasn't that the worst thing in the world, John dying? Yeah. That was a tough one. Janie and I were in our house out here. Yes. An earlier house. Mm-hmm. It was on the door. and you know you're not supposed to really actually get into the area because other people live here anyway I opened the door and there's like eight journalists Jimmy what do you think about John dying I mean it was hideous that's how you found out I said great it literally just blew our minds to hear it On the other hand, it wasn't that surprising given its proclivities and may I say propensities.

29:38And now, pigtail. And peculiar picadillos. Picadillo. Picadillos. Picadillos, yes. Yes. Well, we're a family on Saturday Night Live. We're all connected. Don't you wish.

29:58not that I was looking but what is your what is your what is your rank on the all time are you on the top five like Rolling Stone did something did you check your number I think I was nine I think I was ten ten right behind me I think you no fucking way this little prick I'm gonna write that down wait a minute was I ten Janie do we remember seeing this we don't read there were lots of polls that was just I remember Steve Martin saying they just throw it up against a wall I think Jan Winter was two. They also do polls with some people out of order so people argue about it. That's what I've found in my travels.

30:33Oh, yeah, I got a question for Chetty. You do this, both of you, right? We do. I keep thinking I have hair. You keep rubbing it? Wait a minute. It's starting to come in. I dropped my – you. No, this morning I was in the bathroom doing this. I'm showing J.D., this is what I do. Just balance it That's not a bad idea I had hair once But now Dude you're a movie star Well that's what Jerry Seinfeld said to Lauren He goes I had hair when I needed it Like during the sitcom And then he lost it all Not lost it Basically at 50 But when he was on the sitcom I had it when he needed it When you were You had it when you needed it I got it I got it But what's he doing now Jerry Seinfeld Counting his money Yeah No He likes to do stand up He worked on a Pop-Tart bit for five years, and now he's making an animated.

31:28I'm not kidding. I believe you. He is the most scientific. And if you're around him and he hasn't done his hour alone in a room with his comedy notes, he starts getting anxious. Really? I've got to get to my notes. I hope he's not listening. It took him a while to crack that pop-tart. He's one of the best stand-ups. He cracked the code in that bit. Oh, sure. Now he's one of the best. No, Jerry's one of the best. I saw him two weeks ago. We were at the improv and he came into the set. Great. Wall to wall. He goes, I'm trying new stuff and didn't seem new. It was so good. He's, you know. Yeah. Well said.

32:04Yeah. Chevy, we can take, don't worry. My parts will be cut out later. Sounds like Julian Lennon. No, this is a compliment. You were on The Tonight Show, huge star, and then you were, maybe you guest hosted. Would you ever want to have been the host of The Tonight Show after Johnny left or no? Oh, no. Because they said that you were one of their favorite. No, I think people wrote that. Let me just think of who wrote it. And then people like me read it. Truman Capote. I'm fucked. I can't remember. It was Truman Capote. Oh, NBC executives referred to you as the first potential successor. But it seems like you were doing so many movies, you wouldn't want to do that.

32:40Like, of course. But that was a huge compliment to say you'd be the best to take over. I guess so. Who said it? I don't know. I'm just making shit up at this point. Thank you. Thank you very much, Ed. You are correct. Can you do Ed, too? No. No, sir. Not really. Phil Hartman, our Dan Aykroyd, did the best Ed he did. He did a good Ed. He did a great Ed, and every time he spoke, it was funny. And Johnny just set him up. Oh, God. Because Johnny's references were not very current. Reminds me of the old Palmel Singaret. Old reference. Lost on Young of them. Uh-oh, uh-oh, Palmel. Palmel. It reminds me of the old Pell-Mell cigarettes.

33:21I don't know where that came from. Did you just make that up now? Yeah. Do you like them? I like David. I like David. Let's move on. I like you, Chevy, more than I like David at this point. We're trying to win you over, but we're running out of time. No, he's won me over. You hosted the Academy Awards twice. Yeah. A lot of work or fun? You all right? Oh, sorry. I just heard your sciatica pop. The honest thing is – the honest thing is – Go ahead. It's fun. You know, you don't have to do shit really. You just come out – everybody who has to like announce what the next – and the screenplay and all that shit.

34:02They're all fucking crazy scared that they won't get their lines right that are right there, fucking right. And for me, I don't have to have that. I just have to be me as it were. I think the very first one they hosted, Jack Nicholson was sitting in the front row. He was always there, yeah. And first... What did you say? Uh-oh. As I came back, the first thing I said was, quiet down, Jack.

34:34Just mindless. Then the camera said, you know, it's... Right. Well, I think if you were having fun, it's going to translate. Yeah. Pryor and I did it together. Together. Oh, that's great. Yeah. And he went out before me. He said, this was the first thing he said, no black man has ever won anything.

35:03Anything. No, they had that famous sketch. Well, it was first year, famous sketch with you and Pryor. Oh, that one. The job interview. That was, yeah, very adult. We all know the sketch. We don't have to say anything else. Thanks a lot, Tickface. Well, I said it was great. I think we can't talk about that. I'll go for it because we have editing capabilities at all times. Ticks on his face. No. Don't look at your watch, Chevy. I thought he was coming around to say. No, you have three and a half more. I could tell the Richard Pryor story, but I don't know if I want to take Chevy. It's from moving.

35:37Do, do. Okay, I'll say it as fast as I can. I read from moving, by the way. No, I, yeah, before that, I was a waiter at the Holiday Inn, and I waited on Richard Pryor, because he was playing this theater. And I brought him a Denver omelet, and when I took it away, I was very nervous. He looked at me and said, whoever made that omelet can suck my dick. And I never knew if that was a positive or a negative. You know, it could have gone either way. Ten years later, I'm in a movie with Richard moving, and I had to know. So at lunchtime, I'm sitting next to Richard. I took a bite of a cheeseburger and I said, whoever made this cheeseburger can suck my dick.

36:14And he goes, you must like that cheeseburger. Oh, boy. That was the Richard Pryor bit. I like it. Yeah. There's a little math to it. I mean, I'm sorry, but you should work on the voice of Richard. Well, I haven't done it in a while. It's a substitute voice for now. Hi, I'm Richard Pryor. I remember Richard doing the show, hosting, first time. like the second host maybe second show thank you anyway applause for accurate facts what did you think when you first saw him wait I'm trying to remember why I started that now I have a little pain in my heart that's alright it's okay he's on the phone no No, Richard and me.

37:06Oh, Janie, please. Okay, do you have it? Yeah. Are you going to remember? Okay. Yeah. Just to, I should have told you guys this ahead of time. February last year, Chevy had heart failure. Cool. And was on. Cool. Well, I'm just, I'm channeling you now. I never noticed it. Basically, he was rather out of it for a while. Oh. So he lost some memories. They're kind of coming back. Okay. Why don't you share this with them And the radio world It seems like your memory Has pretty come back at this point To me Sorry about Heart failure I'm here with David Spade and Dana Andrews Dana Andrews I was named after him Oh god Oh so Richard He's trying to You got us back on track Yeah, he's trying to compare white people and black people.

38:09You know, it's like a stand-up. And he says, you know, white people get all like that if they see a snake. They get all frightened and jump away. Black people just go, snake.

38:23It was great. Well, it's just his timing. Snake. Yeah. I love him. He's the best stand-up. Yeah. I think his Long Beach special was just phenomenal. Anyway, David, any favorite? You were friends with Norm? You were friends with Norm MacDonald? Yeah. He's a good up-date guy. He was great, right? Oh, he's just great, yeah. Yeah, he does great shit. I thought he did it. Yeah. I didn't think anybody else did it very well, but I thought he did brilliant. Yeah, he pushed it pretty far. He just went right for the dirt. Yeah, he went for the jugular every time, which – No, there weren't any. It's like I did it because I was interested in politics.

39:03I read the New York Times. Not him. He just goes and just throws up like a dirty word in there or something. Wow. This is a very dangerous studio. Goddamn nail. Yeah. He did a lot of that OJ stuff. You have a classic Norm. Oh. It was always some turn by Norm. But he probably was influenced by you as far as being dangerous or being edgy. I don't think so. I don't know. Well, after you doing Update, that's not the one to beat, but it's like, that's so good. You go, how do I do it where I don't look so pale in comparison? Well, it was the first one. So people do compare that. Yeah. Yeah. But, you know, really, it was the best by far.

39:47Thank you. Yeah. Was that our best question? I'll tell you a quick joke I heard from Norm on that. Norm is always fun. This Norm joke where he goes, my wife, first of all, he's not married. My wife was in a coma. I'm waiting in the waiting room. Was it a coma? This is Norm's fake joke. I like your good audience in a coma. Oh, you did say coma, didn't you? Yeah. So the wife's in a coma. The doctor says, Norm goes, anything I can do? And he goes, well, we found an unorthodox way, some way to get her awake. Oral sex might help. And he goes, oh, yeah? And he goes, well, if you want to. And he goes, yeah, I'll do it.

40:26So he goes in there and he comes in and he goes, Doc it's been five minutes and she's choking

40:37That's a good norm I think he told that to like Conan Everyone's like oh Jesus Conan just Okay next Is that the red headed guy? He's very ginger and he's very tall Yeah he is tall You're right Hi Conan how are you? Oh he's shorter than you? I have no idea. Look at Dana and I are fighting it out down here at five. Divorce me. She's like, I did, you forgot. Flying the wall has taken a turn for... This is very interesting. She's taken a turn. Janie has wife and now he are engaging in friendly romantic banter.

41:33Answer. Wow, that means everything is safe? Yes, exactly. WiesoSteuer is the App that understands you. Because Steuer affects your whole life. Work, children, partner. You can't do anything wrong. Right, nice. It doesn't feel like Steuern. Steuern completed? Safe. With WiesoSteuer. Now test it free.

42:04I wrote many beginnings and stuff, you know, and thoughts. I wrote every day, but I just couldn't bring myself to writing a whole script. You probably punch up a lot on the set, though, or add jokes. That's probably... What did you say? I said you probably punch up when you're on the set. When you're filming on the set, you probably improvise a lot, punch up stuff a lot. They probably give you the script ahead of time, like Fletch, and you go, not that. I'll do this. That's what I'm assuming. Okay, good assumption. You might be a genius. I'm not... I don't think so. It's possible, though. I know I'm not.

42:42How long of a shoot was... How long was Caddyshack? Everyone's favorite movie from growing up. How long was it? How long take you guys? Was it a short shoot? How long was Caddyshack? Three or four weeks? When you shot it. Yeah, when you shot it. Oh, oh. Because I was going to say about an hour. Yeah. You know what's funny? How long was Caddyshack? Thank you, Dave. Now, what is the running time of Fletch? These are my questions. He was a chess champion. He's into numbers. Oh, yeah. He was an actual state chess champion. Is that true? He's into math. I was, but the smartness has gone away. King to pawns, knight four, whatever it is.

43:20What do the pawns do? The pawns, that's a great question. That's like David and I here right now. Okay, excellent. Can I give you a compliment as a question? Are you kidding? Yes. I can't wait. I cannot wait. I always tell people about, because I was watching Caddyshack. And so you and Billy Murray are doing a thing where you're golfing. I think going through the thing. Bill Murray is in his gopher guy. He's got the funny mouth. He's got the overtly funny character, right? You play it so Buster Keaton. Your face is so straight that you more than hold your own in that scene. and I always go, because I'm always out there dancing and mugging and pushing.

44:03You just went nothing and created this incredible comedic dance with Bill Murray. Now you talk. Who? Chevy is wiping a tear. No, but do people mention that scene and your style of silent film comedy when you want to do it? Well, we did wing it. By the way, it was in Bill's caddy shack. Yeah. Oh, that one. Yeah. When we first shot it, when we were ready to go, Bill had put on the wall there like eight pictures of naked women, like their legs spread, you know, from Hustler or something. And, you know, Landis said, I don't know. I don't think so. And so Bill just collected them all, just one underneath.

44:56I don't know, a girl like this or something. Maybe like this. Anyway, so we start going and he's just trying to get me the whole time to crack me up. And he goes, you have a pool, don't you? You know. You know. We have a pool and a pond. A pond would be good for you. and if you look at this film he never cracks right in that one he went just a little bit just a teeny bit I'm gonna look at that it's a beauty you'll see it was that kind of a tracking shot how long would they let you guys go before they'd yell cut did they just follow you it seemed very spontaneous I think the it couldn't have been just one shot they had to cover so it was cut but they're smart to keep that because that's probably maybe on a wide shot or maybe your side and then they just go that we got to keep that one in there yeah yeah that's great wow because what's your name again I'm DS David Spade SNL 90 to 96 on Instagram what's your handle okay give him one more we won't beat him up too bad well I'll just do what about dream roll I've got your dream role did you ever aspire to do something dramatic and try to get an academy award oh absolutely I don't read the papers you know they don't give them for comedy they do not and apparently I'm not going to do any more movies so my chance it's fucked I'd like to get an academy award because I can put it there with my Emmys yes do you have Emmys all awards are good oh yeah you got Emmys first year I have three Emmys one for writing and another one for writing oh and an acting one yes is that all SNL first year yeah by the way the only year I was on yeah what are you and Janie do you and Janie because my wife and I you know so much television I know But we watch these live streaming shows together at night.

47:19Chevy has got something in his ear. Do you guys, what do you guys, did you watch The Crown? What do you watch? Well, you did. Did you watch Dahmer on Netflix? No, I'm kidding. No, but what do you watch? No, I went with him. What do you mean that I watched it? I have two older brothers. My oldest brother has been staying with us. And he and Chevy just watched Breaking Bad all the time. Oh, what a treat. And then they listened to the new Thriller album by Michael.

47:50What a dork. Finally. Hey, got one. But Breaking Bad was brilliant. That's cool. My wife can't watch. She didn't like, she likes kind of more gentle ones. He and I don't always like the same things. Right. So it's great to have my brother there. to bridge the gap. Because I can have sex with him, too.

48:20He's just warming up. That's the funny part. You're getting funnier as this podcast goes on. Come in. Hello, operator. Is Chevy Sissler? Oh, here we go. Oh, no, I'm not. You've got me sillier than I've ever been. So, okay, you watch Breaking Bad, but Janie, I just, Chevy, can I talk to her for a second? Yes. What was your favorite streaming show the last few years? Did you watch Ozarks? Did you watch Ozarks? Is that really a show? Yeah, it's a show. Yes. Oh, boy. Jason Bateman. I started all the streaming stuff with True Blood. Oh, yeah. True Blood. And he didn't get into it. Early binging. Yeah, it's a vampire thing.

48:56I heard it way back then. Oh, yeah. She loves that vampire shit. And then he did Jones and Downton Abbey. But then he didn't watch all of Downton Abbey. I did like that. It was very good. I thought it was very funny. Yes. Wasn't there a character in Downton Abbey? This is very Chevy. a character called Masturbates? There was, right? Yes. And then she'd go, Masturbates. There was? I'm sorry. Masturbates. Oh, that's so funny. He disappears in his room. That is fucking hilarious. It's all I got. I don't deal in puns. That's my best pun. I don't deal in puns. No, but his character was Masturbates, right?

49:32Yeah. Is that true? Can't make that up. Yeah. Fine. Well, it was Mr. Mr. Bates. But they said like... Oh, there you are. He masturbates, goes into his room, and makes the most unusual sounds. This is how the wiener's shrinking. He's making. What's this one? I don't know. I'm just trying to make you fun. Anything. Whoop. All right. Any what we've learned today, Dana? We've learned that Chevy Chase is still the funniest guy in the world. Very funny. You have more questions, don't you? Well, I have. Yeah. Let's do a few more. sometimes I like to put people when they're young like 10 years old movie or TV show that blew your mind around that age you know that like kind of maybe I could be on TV someday do you mind if I shit on your chair okay that wasn't that's how good the question was top five answers on the board Tom Hanks answered it how about did you have a bicycle in Tom Hanks he's got two Oscars and Chevy's older I know that's what I mean Sure, tell them that.

50:35Chabby, you might have been watching Roy Rogers or Rin Tin Tin. No, no. The actual answer is Shane. Do you remember that? The movie Shane? No, the comic book Shane. Well, I thought it was a TV show question, but go ahead. Oh, it was a TV show question? Shane blew your mind then as a kid. You see it in the theater? I did. I went with my dad. Okay. And you were like six, seven. That's all right. We all do. Passed away. During the previews? Kaylee! Kaylee, finally. Is the cat okay? This is my daughter. I know. She goes, hey, Kaylee. Hi, guys. Hi. We've been having a really good time with your dad.

51:12He's hysterical. Are you here to save us? Yeah, I'm here to save you. We've asked him about his favorite movie when he was a kid. Basically, he said Shane in 1953. It was an intense movie. Good find. Yeah. Yeah. Jack Palance was the bad guy. Mm-hmm. Who was the star? The... He was vertically challenged, broad shoulders like a gymnast, famous movie star. Look him up. I can't believe I'm spacing on him. Heather, look him up. No, he's so famous. He was the star of Shane. S-H-A-I-N. Kidding, honey. Jack Palance. Jack Palance, by the way, is the way he pronounces it.

The funniest person you ever just met. Like, whoa. Jonathan Winters. Wow. That's a great answer. I like it. Like it. He is kind of supernaturally whatever. Doesn't get enough attention, Jonathan Winters, and he was great. I'll say. My dad used to talk about him all the time and made me watch it.

52:42I had a hematoma in my leg from hitting it on a table, and I was in a lot of pain. This will come around. It's coming around. I'm waiting. So I'm playing at theater in Santa Barbara, and I'm really in pain. It's a thousand-seat theater, and the stagehand goes, Hey, kid, Jonathan Winters is out there tonight. so the whole time it was in my head like this is not as good as Jonathan Winters yeah and then he did an hour backstage it was just hysterical he did? yeah he was like you know all the voices and everything what the hell was that? you know he would you know your impression John? yeah

53:20well we're going in deep he did one of the he did one of these kind of things we're going to get you crushed the wall you know he did all his little voices like Rob Williams I should be interviewing you Well, I do podcast this for myself as well. Do you mind if I lick those? It's called Chevy Times. Did you ever meet Farley in the old days? Chris Farley? Yes, sir. I did, and Lorne had asked me to talk to him about the drug issue. Chevy, if you could talk to Chris. Might help. Might not, but might. I like your Lorne. It's kind of quiet. Will you do a little Orn first? Yes. It's that thing of like if you could talk to Chris, you know, about drugs, it might be like a really good thing.

54:09I love his rhythm. So I did talk to him. And? How'd it go? Well, he didn't have enough drugs for both of us, so. See, that's a classic. He's been landing all day for me. They're hitting for me. They're hitting. Once you get into his comic frequency, it's like, it's just fun.

54:34Greg is laughing very hard. You wished you'd stayed longer at SNL. I kind of wish I did a couple more seasons. Oh, Christ, I feel like I'm here longer than SNL. You never said it again. We can adjourn any time. Actually, I do. Thank you. Yes. were now man and wife? Yeah, I do. That's funny too. You did like 40 shows, huh? How tall are you? Thank you.

Oh, you know, I would have loved to have stayed. And I really mean that.

55:20I mean, I left because of a girl. I had a picture of the girl and I kept saying, I'm going to marry this guy. Look, she's beautiful. And Lauren kept saying, no, she isn't.

Vacation. right thank you vacation yeah yeah yeah you have to rewrite him Hughes oh I see because he's not really he was not comedic like you guys he's not Jewish oh well if he gives you a blueprint of a great movie you can fix it Chevy during the podcast puts his hands up like he's holding a loaf of bread and looks at it show it his that's quite a loaf I know it's quite a loaf Ed wants a slice oh boy oh boy what is the mic drop question that will blow Chevy's mind I have a not that well I was going to say in seems like old times Grodin was an unsung hero he's so good Chuck Grodin He doesn't get enough attention.

You mean like movies or TV shows? I've never watched sitcoms ever. I've just. Not my favorite. They're still pretty straight down the middle. Seinfeld is pretty great. Yeah. Mostly I don't. I like dramas. I thought Seinfeld was good. Yeah. Right. But it's unfortunate that he's nowhere. He's got no syndication. Once he walked off, there was no money. No backhand. They said you could. You got to get a picture of that so they know what we're seeing.

1:02:16By the way, I just made it up here. I love it. I like it. Finish this sentence. What people don't know about Chevy is. That's a good one. He has... Something's happening. I'm thinking. What people don't know about Chevy is... Greg, come on down. Why not ruin it? Greg is helpless. What was the question again? What people don't know about Chevy is... He's an amazing jazz pianist. That's right. You're a musician and you're a great pianist. Thank you, sweetie. That's so nice of you. Do you still practice and play? You have perfect pitch. You have perfect pitch. I do. You play the drums, too. I wonder if you and I...

1:03:03I was a drummer for Steely Dan. Really? Did you know that? Why did you go into comedy? In college we started. Damn. It came out. Yeah. So you really can drum. I'm kind of a pretend drummer. Well, if you're holding down Steely Dan. We were jazz-oriented. Okay. So that always was a help. Yeah. You know, you've got to have independent coordination, which apparently you've never had. My father just came into the room. I won. No, but you, who's your favorite jazz drummer? Your father's awful. My God. Daddy? No, Daddy, come home. No, no, no, no. We had our childhoods. Us fun folk. Tough dads. We usually have some little bit of trauma.

1:03:51Poke the bear. Do you want me? Is there anybody you want me to do or sign off on? Yeah. Any person? I'll try. Okay, okay. Can you do him? No, I'm boring. Hey, buddy. There's not much there. That's all I am. Movement tonight. It's a thing he does as a queen. I have one last question. Is Christy Brinkley that ugly in person? Yeah. How about that? She's unreal. This is crazy, isn't it? Harold made that up where I go, Beverly says, is that what you want, honey? She's in the bed. No, she's ugly. She's gross. I know. No, honey, she's ugly. She was in that movie probably five minutes. Everyone remembers it forever.

1:04:42Great. All those movies have so fun. Great, great, great. Anyway. Yeah, Chevy, you're the greatest. I'm going to compliment you. One of my favorite guests on this podcast. Thank you for coming to my humble mansion. You made our podcast shinier and brighter by gracing us with your presence today. That's it. No, honestly, this is more fun than I've had. Since this morning? That's it. Since you were at 7-Eleven? It's fun to be sincere and put a comedian and watch him squirm. I love you, Chevy, because you're funny. Now squirm. You guys are very funny, too. Thank you. You made us. Dana. No, we don't get hurt.

1:05:27We're comedians. I got hurt. We've been attacked on stage. I've been attacked on stage in clubs. Yes. I bombed worse than you could possibly imagine. Do you still play the comedy store? Sometimes. Oh, boy. I'm playing. Are you guys going back east? Do you really? Have you really played there? In the comedy store? Yes, and I can get you in. If you can come with me. Well, our daughter. I'm one of the house pianists. Oh, you are? Oh, yeah. We're in the OR? Yeah, she is. Oh, that's great. That's actually a big job. That's great. I was working in the booth previously. Did your dad teach you? Did you pick it up because you saw your dad playing?

1:06:10Yeah, definitely. So Chevy's daughter, Kaylee, is a pianist at the comedy store. Very good, yeah. That's great. The first woman to do it. Breaking barriers. There's still barriers. Like I said that to David a few months ago. There's no woman playing the piano at the store. What is the problem? Why don't you shut up? You little fairy. You're not going. Fairy? Where are you? What are you from? The 40s? I'm sorry. I am. I'm telling you. He's lighting the loafers. I'm telling you. You little loafer. Tinkerbell. You little fairy. All right. My daddy said. Are we done? Thank you, Chevy. Once the families come in, that's going to be the highlight of the podcast.

1:06:45Heather will give you your check. A check? Yes, you'll get a W-2 form that you can fill out. We'd like your... She already gave me a check. Sir. Damn! All right. This has been Chevy Chase. Take care.
