-Let's just go through a couple of your characters.
-Okay, sure. Because I wrote a book.
That's why we're going through this.
-Yes. [ Laughter ]
-We're not just remin-- This is not what we do all the time.
Like, "Come on over, we'll show pictures of each other."
[ Laughter ] -This is Mr. Peepers.
This is you and Tom Hanks. -This is me and Tom Hanks.
-How did you create Mr. Peepers? -Mr. Peepers was, uh...
[ Laughter ] was based on a bad improvisation
at the Groundlings, where I was asked to enter stage.
And it was supposed to be a bad improv.
So I just ran out and jumped on this guy, Roy Jenkins,
and hang upside down on him. -Oh, yeah.
-And that's how it was born. -Really?
-Yeah. -This is the thing I didn't --
I got to tell you, I'm amazed by you.
-You didn't know this? -No, I didn't know that.
But, I mean, I'm amazed by your physicality.
You're one of the best physical comedians I've ever seen
in my life. You're fantastic.
-That's very sweet. -And you would do --
I think you would believe that you were a monkey.
-Yeah, I think -- I was one of those people.
Like, I believed I was an ant. Same thing.
-Yeah. [ Laughter ]
-So I believed I was a monkey. -Yeah.
-I was one of those people that believed I was
what I was doing at the time. -But you would jump
into people's arms and stuff like that.
But you would not even -- you would think
that you're, like, a 10-pound monkey.
But you're not. You're a human being.
-Exactly. -Yeah.
-Didn't you ever pretend you were --
-You would perch on things and balance on stuff.
I've never seen anyone do anything like that.
-Yeah, thank you. -It was insane.
-I don't do it that often anymore, but...
-Yeah. Hopefully not, yeah.
-And then, please, let's just discuss --
-Yeah, Mango. -Mango, I mean, come on.
-Come on, everybody. [ Applause ]
-How did -- Who inspired Mango? -Mango was based on two things.
One of them was a girlfriend. She was from Russia.
And when she got mad, she would say, "Kattan, I kill you."
[ Laughter ] Like that.
It was very endearing. -Yeah.
[ Laughter ] "Kattan, I kill you."
-"Kattan, I kill you!" Like that.
-And then pouty. -Pouty. Mm -- like that.
-But kind of cute. -"No, I don't.
Kattan, I talk to you later. Mm, I'm mad."
[ Laughter ] And then...
See, you know where this is coming already.
-Yeah. -And then the other character
that it's based on was my dog, who was a Dalmatian.
And she would do this kind of come-hither look.
She would, like -- like, if she was looking away...
-Yeah. -...and I was behind her --
I don't know what camera to use for this, but...
[ Laughter ] ....she'd be like...
Just call out "Lola." Her name was Lola.
-Gotcha, Ready? -Okay.
-Lola? [ Laughter ]
Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola. [ Laughter and applause ]
[ Laughter ]
-So, that was that part. She put...
So, basically, you go -- you go -- you go,
"Kattan, I kill you." -"I kill you."
-"No, you can't have the Mango."
-That's right. And then you add that.
-That's how it formed.
-And now how did you end up naming him Mango?
-Mango was based on a real stripper.
[ Laughter ]
The announcer, when the stripper came out, is a female.
He said, "Give it up for Mango."
I thought, "That's odd." [ Laughter ]
-That's not the best stripper name out there.
-But I thought, "That's a great idea
if I do a sketch based on my dog and my ex-girlfriend.
-There you go. [ Laughter ]
And then talk to me about "Roxbury."
-Right, "Roxbury Guys." That's the one.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-I mean, dude, so many hits. -Thank you, yeah.
That was -- That was like -- But that was pretty amazing.
That, like -- Will and I used to do,
just the two of us were the Roxbury Guys.
And then Fred Wolf the writer, he came on.
He said, "Why don't you --" Jim Carrey was the guest host.
He said, "Why don't you have Jim Carrey be the third guy?"
We never thought of having a third guy.
And that's when it just took off, you know?
And of course this song, "What is Love,"
that was added into there. -Yeah.
How did you come up with that song --
I mean, did you connect that song?
-I happen to have not very good taste in music.
-Oh, wow! [ Laughter ]
-And I love that song. -You just loved it?
-I'm not saying it's a bad song, but I like techno.
-But now you're always connected to that song.
-Sure. Yes, I am. -If irony is real.
-It is real. It's so real. -[ Laughs ]
-Every time that song comes on, I think of you.
-You do? -Of course, everyone does.
-Oh, that's nice. -♪ Baby, don't hurt me no more ♪
[ Cheers and applause ]
♪ Baby, don't hurt... ♪
And that's all you have to do for the rest of your life.
-That's it. That's all I have to do.
-It's amazing stories in here. If you guys --
-Thank you. -Anyone out there, look at this.
-There's a picture of you, by the way.
-Oh, that's baby -- Aww.
[ Audience aws ] Cutest dimples.
Wait, here's a picture of you and --
There's you and Tina in here somewhere.
That's going to take too long. -Yeah, that was --
There's a photo of Eddie Murphy. -Look a that.
-Oh, it is me.
-Isn't that pretty, or is that cute?
Isn't that a nice little picture?
-That's a pretty good-looking dude.
-Look at that, look at that. -I was stud there.
-You're still a stud. -Is that me laughing there?
-Who? Oh, that's you. -Yeah.
[ Laughter ] -That's you, like --
-We had so much fun, dude. -Who's that? "Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"
-We would just have -- -Yeah.
-We would have the best time. -We had a great time.
-And I got to tell you, thank you for always...
-Of course, man. -...being nice to me, you know.
-Of course, man. -I looked up to you.
And you always took care of me. -Thanks, brother.
