My guest tonight is a comedian
who's been seen in Jordan Peele's
psychological thriller, Get Out,
as well as starred in his own Fox sitcom.
Now you can see him starring
in the much talked about Netflix movie.
Everyone's discussing this movie, Bad Trip.
Take a look.
("Thank You For Being A Friend" by Andrew Gold)
This is good.
(stomach rumbling)
Right here, or?
(groaning)
Oh geez (Bud farting)
Oh, it's starting.
(Bud farting)
(crashing) (Bud screaming)
What happened? (censor bleep)
What's wrong?
I'm stuck.
I'm sinking, shit.
Oh my god!
(both groaning)
Wait a minute. Go get some butter.
Butter me out this thing!
(crashing) (screaming)
Shit!
Oh, my god.
Please welcome Lil Rel Howery. (laughing)
First of all, Andy looks disgusting.
(both laughing)
Andy! I actually couldn't see
what the clip was. Oh, oh my god.
The monitor's not pointed towards you guys.
First of all, I have so many questions,
which is clearly those women are not in on it.
No. Which is great.
They don't know what's happening.
I have to give it to them.
That first woman, she opens the port-a-potty,
and then she's actively trying to help you,
never questioning how is it you're sinking
well below the floor level of a port-a-potty.
(all laughing)
That made me, that reaffirmed,
that moment in the movie reaffirms my faith in humanity.
Like these women are just being so nice.
Well, that's the thing about it which y'all don't realize
is the way it's edited,
it just looks like I run into the port-a-potty from the car.
Those are actually prank dates.
So Bud Malone was on dates with these women.
He was on dates--
No, but even given that,
yes, you're on dates with these women,
and you don't see that.
But what happens is then
you go to use the port-a-potty.
Now still, even if you're on a date,
my wife wouldn't open the port-a-potty,
and if I was in that situation,
she wouldn't try and pull me out.
That was impressive.
I'm still, yes, you're on a date,
and you have some relationship with them,
but I think that shows
a lot of class on their part and bravery.
I think they were really classy for that.
And also too, I was really disgusted in it.
Like I remember when they yell cut,
and we were done with the prank, and everybody like,
"Oh, those throw up sounds
"you was doing was great acting."
I'm like, "those wasn't sounds, I was really..."
It felt so disgusting.
I don't care how much they clean that port-a-potty.
It's still a port-a-potty.
Yes, it has probably previously been used.
And they're like, "No, no we cleaned it.
"It hasn't been used in 20 minutes.
"You're good to go in there."
Even if they tell you it's a brand new one
straight out of the factory,
that's the prop guy telling you
who might've just been like,
"Yeah just tell him that."
Yeah, yeah. Just tell him that.
I mean, that's the other thing is
you were asked to do a lot.
I'm told that you almost quit after the first scene.
It's not an almost.
The first prank, first scene we shot, I quit.
I walked off set, I still had, 'cause that's when we had
the, you know-- Let's describe what happened
for anyone who hasn't seen the film yet.
(both laughing)
It's just so stupid and so wrong.
Why don't you set it up?
Why don't you tell us?
Well, I don't even know how we can say it over here,
but our male...
It's the penis. The penises was attached
through a Chinese finger trap, me and Eric's penis.
Yes, okay, here we go.
What you did is you and Eric Andre,
you pretended that you were guys
who somehow got your penises caught
in what's known as a Chinese finger trap, I believe.
And then you ask strangers for help.
And here you guys are
and this guy on the golf course.
Now those ladies that we saw earlier
reaffirmed my faith in humanity.
No one here wanted to help you.
And people were mad.
People were so,
like that's the one prank that made everybody so mad.
I mean, we was walking down the street
'cause we did a couple of that we're just
literally just walking down the street
with our penis trap.
These two homeless dudes walk past,
like, "yeah they better not say nothing to me,
"with they penises attached.
"Say something to me, nasty mother.
"There's children on the street!
"It's disgusting, how y'all do that?
"'Cause I know they better not say nothing to me!"
I'm like, "What?" (both laughing)
So, okay.
So you shoot that scene.
They yell cut, and you said, I quit.
I'm not gonna do this anymore. Well, it was when,
the first one, we went into a barber shop.
And they let us into the wrong barbershop.
Our security wasn't in there,
wasn't any cameras in there.
I don't know what this brother was talking about.
It felt like this man was
having a conversation with somebody, like
"Let somebody walk in here with their penises attached
and see what I do."
'Cause he was so angry.
We walked in there very humble, "excuse me, sir."
He's like, "hey, man, what y'all doing, man?"
He started looking for a gun.
Oh my god okay. He couldn't find it,
that's what he told us.
And then he grabbed a knife, chased us out the shop
like this, with rage on his face.
I break out the trap, you know,
I fall under a car.
We got the Wesley Snipes security guard we had
did some crazy whatever he did to unarm him.
And man, I quit.
I literally kept my costume on and walked to the hotel.
So I still had the trap on,
which was even more weird. That's great,
so you said I quit.
Then you started walking back to your hotel
with your penis stuck in a finger trap,
headed back to the hotel.
Yeah, yeah, I was,
It was even crazier.
I remember walking in, it was like
everybody in the lobby was like,
(whispering) "oh my god that's, is his thing out?
"And is that a finger trap?
"Should we call the police?" (laughing)
But no, I did.
And I called Tiffany to vent. Tiffany Haddish.
Tiffany Haddish, I was like,
"Man, Eric almost got me killed."
I called my agents and everybody.
I was like, "I'm done with this.
"I'm not doing this movie.
"I am an actor."
I've never called myself an actor before.
I'm like, "No, I'm an actor, man.
"I'm not Johnny Knoxville."
This is insane to me. Right.
And I called Tiffany.
And Tiffany really kind of convinced me not to quit.
But then she thought it was really funny,
and that irritated me too.
So I'm like, "I'll talk to you later."
And then she called Eric and said,
"Eric, yo, did you almost get Lil Rel real killed?"
And he was like, "Oh yeah, I feel so bad."
She's like, "Please, I need to be in this movie.
"I love that type of stuff."
And that's actually how she got
in the movie. That's great.
(Lil Rel laughing) So you called Tiffany Haddish
for compassion as a friend. Yes, that's my friend!
To say, "I want to quit this movie."
She thought it was so funny that she said,
"I want in on this movie." Yeah.
Okay that didn't go the way you wanted it to.
Oh, I was so mad, you ever like,
cause she was laughing.
I was dead serious,
and she just cracking up like, "you know something,
"how about I get off this phone with you?"
You know, cause I was still angry,
but I wanted somebody to be like,
"He was wrong for that,"
but she didn't say he was wrong.
She was excited about it.
She's like, "this is going to be great."
I'm like, "all right."
There's tons of funny stuff in the film.
There's some stuff that got cut
because it didn't quite go the way you wanted it to.
There's a hitchhiking scene.
You and Eric are driving around in this car.
Is that right?
Yes, yes. Is this correct?
I feel like this is a trial, that's what it
feels like right now. Yeah, it does.
Sir, is this correct?
You were riding around in this--
Crown Vic. What's that?
It's a Crown Vic. Crown Victoria.
And it's pink,
and it says bad bitch on the back.
And sir, tell us what you and Mr. Andre
were doing in this car.
The prank was to pick up a hitchhiker,
and Chris Rock played the police officer
that will pull us over and question everything, but.
Now here's the problem.
Chris Rock is one of the most famous comedians in the world.
So the person who was not in on it
immediately recognized Chris Rock?
Right away, I mean, once again,
Chris Rock didn't change his voice.
He didn't want to put a mustache on or do none of that.
He just Chris Rocked it, like
It was like, okay.
I don't know how the people
are not gonna know that's not Chris rock,
but he was like, I mean he did
"How you doing," he did the,
I'm like, bro, they know it's you, fam.
Yeah and you know what,
that's what Chris Rock does in all his movies too.
He's Chris Rocking it, you know?
If Chris Rock is in Hamlet, he's not doing Hamlet.
He's doing Chris Rock, you know, so. (laughing)
So the person right away was like, "you're Chris Rock,"
and the whole thing is done.
But what made it funny, outside the prank
is that people did know it was Chris Rock
and they were just entertained
by watching Chris Rock do crazy stuff.
Chris Rock is shooting at the police car.
Chris Rock is beating up Eric.
And these people like, "man, Chris Rock is crazy."
It just looked like we was a bunch of lunatics,
and Chris rock is crazy.
