[Applause]
who cares
now when you were uh uh I think maybe we chatted a little bit about this when you
were here the last time when you began show business or stand-up comedy is that
what kind of things did you do in your act like well I I did like a bunch of uh I had
a troll doll troll doll yeah it's like he's done with the hair the fuzzy hair
and I would do like a commercial for the doll so I would do like uh like Impressions I said
like you know welcome to the auditions for the commercials let's start let's uh first up Mr
John Travolta oh okay she's like swear to God I can't believe look at his hair right I mean
like you guys probably using like anti-free shampoo or something that's crazy [Applause]
or do uh all right do like uh this is I was 16 so I do like Cliff Clavin from cheers the mailman
from cheers wow rarified yeah 78 feeling yeah he actually admit your trolls first major late 1500s
wow or Gilbert I do Gilbert Godfrey Gilbert Godfrey wipe this dish what
kind of kid plays with something like this that's so weird looking
I don't want to hang out with the kid that plays with something like this very strong
there now you're doing the you're doing the Weekend Update do you enjoy that yeah that's
cool it's like I never thought I'd do the news part of the show I don't really read
papers and stuff you know I told that to Lauren I don't really know anything about
the news but now I'm starting to learn everything and I love the shower since
I was a kid like we me and my sister used to imitate you know the wild and crazy guys and
stuff and we never knew what it meant or any of the anything we would say like you know we got
to get the Statue of Liberty together birth control devices you know for five years old
my mother and dad were like oh that's okay and the grandparents like what yeah should we call
somebody and how did you how did you get on the the show it was just Madness it was like
just uh I I always I just kept working on my Impressions and stuff like that you know and
I figured uh I actually used to do Dana carvey's Impressions hoping that Lauren would call some
kid in Saugerties New York Jeremy can you do a church lady you know something like that
but that never happened so so you did his entire set of everything he did
like what do do something for us from uh David Harvey's act he'll enjoy this yeah
actually I could probably do a little Dana Carvey I mean I was like at that
[Laughter] [Applause]
that was my favorite was my favorite and I used to just imitate all the guys I just like that
was my that was my favorite thing to do is just just watch the show and I used to memorize the
monologues and all that now do you want to do you want to make more movies yeah I'd love to
make a movie but it's like that you know everyone wants to do the the comedies all
the time because you're a comedian yeah but I like to do the serious stuff really you'd like
to do some dramatic roles I like to learn how to do that yeah like what kind of stuff
Something's Gonna work I don't know I did this Band of Brothers sing that thing that Tom Hanks
is doing with Steven Spielberg is that right I had like four lines in that one yeah and so
this could be the beginning of a whole different brand she's like I don't know I just want to learn
that because then like I'm learning comedy on Saturday live and then if I learn dramatic stuff
with directors then I'm like a Unstoppable robot right but but the dramatic stuff in in film is not
that difficult just don't be funny yeah you see that's how that works yeah I try not to do that
yeah and and how many lines did you have in the Tom Hanks movie tell you about five lines yeah
we got ammo when will you hear from the director on this one do you think don't don't come to the
premiere yeah I didn't even get the invitation we don't make it again yeah I didn't even get
the imitation man so so now they've already taped the MTV Movie Awards was it yeah nuts
it was Madness like who are the big Winners the big Winners I think so I think it's at the point
where MTV just said yeah here you go yeah don't care we're giving you this yeah like but we got
you know it was a big thing was the Moulin Rouge girls these girls like Christina Aguilera and Maya
and Little Kim and uh and uh pink thank you and uh they're all man it was like they're on like
you know underwear and stuff like that oh my God underwear yeah oh wow foreign [Applause]
