to weight watchers and stuff like how much did you weigh in sixth grade do you mind i was a pretty
hefty kid i was on the uh on the highest level uh football team when i was in sixth grade and that's
usually for the eighth graders but yeah i did it mostly because of my bulk
but uh but so she tried to make me lose weight and so
she put me on weight watchers and had weight watchers all up and down the
refrigerator and she had the ice cream in there and i'd come home after school watch me run to
gilligan's island take that gallon of weight watch your ice cream and eat it and my mom would go
christopher i know it's weight watchers but it doesn't work when you eat the whole gallon
so she's excellent you want me to get a towel for your hair it looks

bring back hey hey academy award winner bring that card back son

story about buddy the cross-country dog do you like animals yeah this is a great story the dog
from from long island and somehow ends up in colorado went out skiing or something
four days gone from home and then they get a call and they fly him back and he's like a hero
we have the dog on tonight and doc severson sitting in with the band all night what uh what up
that's awesome you i love this show dan you and i worked together at nbc for a while i think you
how long have you been over there yourself uh this is my fifth year fifth year and so uh we
knew each other i guess briefly before i came over here to cbs what was that like for you all of a
sudden you're working there at nbc that must have been a huge thrill for you god it was so awesome
i remember you probably did see me all the time because i was always going back and forth down
onto your show yeah we would see in the hallway if we'd have a band or a guest on you would like you
would have been yeah because they beat it tubby like the beverages aren't free he didn't say no
but uh then um ah dang i love this show though i've been watching it for 12 years
except for here's how we used to watch it in college
oh letterman man how did you check out letterman check it out
so i always used to go down there and watch out from eight and then your studio at six and then
but first time i i got hired at saturday night live i was uh kind of paranoid and and scared i
had that id card oh yeah you gotta have the nbc id nbc id and i lost it oh no and i thought oh my god
security's been breached they're gonna have to redo everyone's security code i thought it was
a huge deal and my paranoid fantasy was that like it would get to you and you're like who
is this jackass they hired up on saturday night he can't hold on to an id card get a model here
i was like no i'll find it i pretty much called the shots over there yeah that's how that works

yeah he's my buddy we had a lot of fun i i love this shot in toronto yeah i sat in toronto we had
to go back and forth a lot from toronto to uh new york because we were doing the show at the
same time so we'd like break up the monotony and stuff like that and spade said that uh
he kept trying to bug me by my weight and said i kept eating when i got nervous i have a little
bit of a weight problem i'm not sure if anyone but then this jacket used to fit me during the shoot
but uh so he says he'd exaggerate it to like don't give me that excuse about nerves exaggerated to
like oh my god there's a red stoplight no wrong one not another blue car one time on
the plane he'd always check the candy bar drawer and make sure that there's uh they're all full but
the second time he checked it it was all wrappers there's chocolate all around my mouth like oh i
don't know where they went then to break up the monotony one time everyone was really tired and i
couldn't sleep for some reason so they all woke up and i was bare naked on the plane the pilot said
get your clothes on it reeks in here no oh god that was a bad one i shouldn't have gone that area
no chris you're being too hard on yourself that's a lovely story
let's talk a little bit about the movie tommy boy it's about a kid
