-Dude, I -- I forgot to tell you how much I love that e-mail
I got from you during the Sandler show.
Adam Sandler hosted the show,
and I just happened to be there, and you were like,
"Dude, I'm watching the Sandler show.
I'm just getting, like, sentimental
thinking about the good old days
when we were always there together.
-Yeah. -Dude, I got so choked up.
I was so emotional. That whole night was --
-A few Jack Daniels may have been involved,
but certainly I did mean it with all my heart.
No, no, it was fun.
It's always fun seeing you guys
messing around and it make me go like, "Hey, what's up, man?
How are you doing?" And then I saw you in Beverly Hills.
We crossed like two ships in the night.
-Can you believe that happened, dude?
-No. It was very strange.
That was the oddest thing ever.
I went to L.A. for like two days
And I was driving, I go -- I see this car trying to
make a left in this street, and I go,
"I think that's Horatio."
[ Laughter ] Like, what?
I'm like, "That's Horatio Sanz."
I was like, my comedy team,
like we lived in the same office for five years together.
I'm like, "Yo!"
And you're like, "'Sup, man?" You thought I was a fan.
[ Laughter ]
You're like Mr. Cool. "Yeah, what's up, man?"
I go, "It's Jimmy!" And you're like,
"I love you, bro!" It was awesome.
[ Laughter ] It was great.
You just had a big birthday, man, 50?
-I did. Yeah. 50. -Holy moly. Happy birthday.
-Thank you.
♪♪
-That's big. We celebrated a lot of birthdays together.
-We had many, many good birthdays.
You had fun birthdays.
I remember we had a few parties for you.
-Yeah. Which one?
-One I remember in particular was we had it at McManus --
in the back room of McManus.
You know, McManus is one of our old hangs,
an old bar in Chelsea.
-Beautiful bar. Yeah, I love it. -Great place.
But we were hanging out with like --
At the time, Michael Stipe was asking out with us.
-Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We had, like, cool people hanging out with us.
[ Laughter ]
I said, "Let's just go to McManus and have the party."
and you know, there were other fancy places
we could have gone to. -Oh, yeah.
-Right. -I totally remember this.
-Yeah. -Oh, my gosh.
-So, it's Jimmy's birthday and all these great
beautiful people, funny people just stuck in this dive bar,
and then like right before we sing happy birthday,
I pretend to have a heart attack.
[ Laughter ]
-Dude, you did a great job. -Well, because --
-That might be one of the best acting jobs
I've ever seen you do.
[ Laughter ] It really was.
-i think for certain it is.
I don't know if you've seen my work lately.
[ Laughter ]
-No, no, no, no. [ Applause ]
-The thing was too is I was about 300 pounds,
and we were, like, partying a lot those days,
so it was very believable to the guests.
So, I was like [Groaning]
-You were on the ground and everything.
-I fell on the ground, "Aaaagh!"
And then you're like, "Oh, my God! Oh, my God!"
And everybody is, like, freaking out.
And then I'm like, "Hey! I'm just joking!"
[ Laughter ] -We laughed. We laughed.
We laughed. -We laughed very heartily,
and then, like, about six months later,
we went to a party and I was --
And I got the opportunity to sit outside
with Michael Stipe. -But he laughed.
Did he like the joke?
-No, no.
He was there, and he was very scared.
And he told me six months later, he goes,
[ As Stipe ] You know, when you did that fake heart attack
at Jimmy Fallon's birthday,
at the time, I thought it was the unfunniest thing
I've ever seen in my life. [ Laughter ]
But now that I think of it,
I think it's the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life."
[ Laughter ]
-Dude, no one's ever done a Michael Stipe impression
on the show. That's pretty good.
-Thank you. -He liked it?
-He did like it, finally. He's an awesome guy.
Then he brought around the "American Movie" guys.
Remember that? -Oh, yeah!
-And we hung out with those guys.
-"Coven." -It was really fun.
Yeah, the "Coven." -Yeah, "Coven."
I have "Coven." Dude, I never laughed so hard in my life
when I saw that with you in the theater, "American Movie."
We were laughing so hard, I couldn't see.
I was crying. -Yeah.
-We had so many good moments like that,
and just so many goof-off moments.
I was thinking about -- Do you remember when we played
whiffle ball in the hallways?
-Yeah, well, see, me and Jimmy would live in New York all year
a lot, so we'd be messing around,
like, "Let's just go to the office and do something."
Probably, "Let's write."
[ Laughter ]
-Let's write a sketch.
-Yeah, let's get ahead of everybody
and write a bunch of sketches in July.
-Yeah. [ Laughter ]
-So we go to our offices in this beautiful building,
so it's kind of awesome to be here and then we always had,
like, guitars, the backpacker guitar.
We always had little toys around,
the organ, and then we had a whiffle ball bat and so
we started playing whiffle ball bat through the hallways.
-Full-on pitching and everything,
hard-pitching, everything, yeah.
-And then we were jumping on couches.
Probably, probably, you know, tackling each other.
Who knows? Laughing. -We were wrestling or something.
-And then like, you know, it's mostly "SNL"
on the 17th floor, but they also have editing booths
a little farther.
So while we were in the hallway...
[ Laughter ]
-I think it was whiffle ball, where he was like,
[ As Tom Brokaw ] H-Hey, knock it off!
[ Laughter ] [ Normal voice ] What was it?
-Tom Brokaw was trying to edit something.
-You could see just him, like,
[ As Brokaw ] I put this one here.
Put me with the gun here. [ Laughter ]
Hey, knock it off!
[ Laughter ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
-We're like, "We just got yelled at by Tom Brokaw."
It made us laugh. -[ Normal voice ] Basically
the only guy at NBC who could yell at us was Tom Brokaw.
-But then somebody said, "Oh, it's just Jimmy and Horatio."
[ As Brokaw ] Oh, well, if it's just Jimmy and Horatio,
that's fine.
They're cool. I'm cool with those guys.
-[ As Brokaw ] I'm sorry, guys. -I'm sorry, guys, yeah.
-Knock it on! [ Laughter ]
-[ Normal voice ] He did not say knock it on.
-[ Normal voice ] He's like, "Knock it on!"
-He didn't say knock it on.
[ Laughter ] [ As Brokaw ] Knock it off.
[ Normal voice ] Now I'm doing Jimmy Stewart.
