(audience applauds)
- Every time you say something nice about me I tear up.
I'm not used to hearing stuff like that.
- (laughs) Yes!
That is what I'm trying to do!
- The show's, it's happening.
Remember when this was just you talking about it?
- Yeah, but you showed up for me when I was trying to do,
we were calling a pilot.
But straight up, it was a full blown audition.
It was a full sales tape
and we had to wait months to find out if we were really
gonna get the job.
And then of course the pandemic broke out
and you know we had to keep going,
not knowing if we were really gonna do it or not.
But I just thank you, 'cause I just don't really do
any endeavors in this world that are meaningful
and important to me without doing it with you.
So thank you for doing that.
- We are a team.
On movies we're a team, the show that was not a problem
at all ever ever.
And then you calling me up and saying you want to give me
16 points of the show.
(Drew laughs)
That's too much, Drew.
- You can have 16 points of anything in my life.
You can have infinite points.
But by the way when I came to like get my pretend
to be Barbara Walters with you in Boston,
you were on the set of "Hubie Halloween".
- Growing up and even now whenever a sitcom was on
and it happened to be the Halloween special that year
I get more excited than anything.
Even if they mentioned Hanukah.
I was like yeah that's great, but let's get back
to the Halloween of it all, right?
- We haven't had a comedy, a Halloween comedy like this.
I mean I thought about like "Hocus Pocus"
and someone was like, "Goosebumps."
And I was like yeah, but that's really kids.
That skews very young.
- This was a little more,
we hope the kids can like it, but it is a little ruckus
at times, yes, yes.
It gets a little disgusting at times.
- I think this is huge.
- That was the intention.
The intention was let's make something huge.
Let's have me look very goofy in it
and I handled that with grace.
(audience laughs)
- I love Hubie Dubie so much.
It reminded me of like "Waterboy" and you know,
it felt like such a strong character.
- Very goofy kid.
He lives with his mama, just like Bobby Boucher did
in "The Waterboy."
"The Waterboy" by the way came right after a movie
called "The Wedding Singer."
Did you ever see "The Wedding Singer", Drew?
(audience laughs)
- Lucy doesn't remember "The Wedding Singer" but Julia does.
(audience laughs)
- Julia Gulia and we couldn't let that happen.
You had to get over to the better guy.
- (laughs) Oh my God.
I'm serious though I really think
that you have done something here
that people, this is epic.
We can't think of a Halloween comedy
and there are so many amazing comedians in it.
You've got Stiller opening it
and you know Kevin James and Julie Bowen and Tim Meadows.
And Ray Liotta and Buscemi.
- Maya's in it and all the youngsters are in it.
All these young funny kids.
I watched those shows with my daughters.
Like all the Disney and Nickelodeon and all the stuff
on Netflix and we were writing parts for people
like 17, 18, 19 years old.
So I was like oh that kid from that show,
that kid's great let's see if they'll do it.
And so there's a lot of youth in the movie also.
- Including Sunny and Sadie and Jackie.
It's a total family affair.
- Yes, they had some stuff to do.
Drew you would think that the kids would excited,
an entire movie to be in a movie.
By around, I'd say if they're in a movie
and they get to set at 8:00.
I'd say around 9:20 I'm hearing, how much more?
Please let me leave?
They make it look like I'm forcing them to do it.
Meanwhile they were asking me the whole damn year,
can I be in your next movie daddy?
(audience laughs)
- Because movies take a long time.
The days are long and by the way are they working like
special hours because of their age
or are they like, no working full-time?
- I think I hide them out in my trailer.
They hang out, they got their friends anyways.
And then I knock the door.
They go, they're ready let's go.
And they're like, they ready?
They always play crazy like they didn't know they
were shooting a movie.
I go, you don't have your makeup on?
They're like, yeah, I'll do it now.
(audience laughs)
Disgusting Drew, you know that.
(upbeat music)
