- A mystery buyer's purchased a $93 million penthouse
in New York City's most expensive tower.
No one knows who it could be.
(audience laughs)
- Thank you.
- [David] Was he wearing a Knicks' hoodie
and pictures of himself on his socks?
(audience laughs)
- Nothing wrong with that.
(audience laughs and cheers)
(upbeat music)
- [David] Adam and I met, we'll start at the beginning.
We met years and years ago at, do you remember how we met?
- [Adam] Improv, right?
- Improv, I think.
- I don't know who introduced us
but I remember seeing you come in.
You had a little leather jacket,
that was me when I was young.
My God.
- Cute.
- What a sweetheart.
(audience laughs)
- But Davey was cool.
When you first came in the club,
I heard about you a little bit. You were in a movie.
- I was in Police Academy. Yeah, yeah.
- So it was like big deal. David had a lot of heat
and he had a leather jacket on.
And I don't know if you were carrying a skateboard,
but it felt like you were. Am I right?
(Dave laughs)
(audience laughs)
- Probably.
You know that coat, I remember this coat because I thought,
I had extra money on me,
like 1000 bucks from the whole movie.
So, I thought I was rich so I went and bought a cool jacket,
but it was so heavy leather,
and it had like 50 zippers on it, like a motorcycle jacket.
But it was worth getting spina bifida,
because I would walk around,
(Adam laughs)
(audience laughs)
but I don't know.
And when I went back to Arizona, they go,
they go, "You've changed."
I was like, no everyone's changed,
but actually in that case, I had changed
and I was trying to be super cool.
- Right, yeah, yeah, yeah. I did that too.
- But I remember seeing at the Improv and you were,
just 'cause you were funny, and you had such a different...
- We were both young, so it was a big deal.
That's why right away, we like,
well I think we wanted to meet each other.
Or like maybe we were threatened by each other,
or whatever the hell we were.
But we were both like 22, 23 years old.
- [David] Yeah, and everyone there was like,
back then it was like Seinfeld and Leno
and all those great guys.
But we were like newer and so we'd find each other
cause we were younger.
- Right.
- Apatow was there too. There's a lot of good guys.
- Schneider. You and Schneider were tight.
You guys were friends first.
- [David] And you were friends with Apatow.
- Yes.
- Tells you why mine went this way and you. (Adam laughs)
(audience laughs and claps)
- I'm killing it.
- The Schneid man.
- I remember some of your jokes.
I'm gonna tell you one and you tell me
if this is how it goes.
You said Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points in one game,
which is true.
And he goes, here is my impression
of his team in the time out in the huddle.
Hey Wilt I'm (bleep) open dude.
(audience laughs)
Toss me the ball sometime, because you're already at 90,
you're getting greedy.
My parents flew in, all right?
Can I get two?
And then you go, here's the coach
on the other team during the huddle.
Who's covering Wilt?
(audience laughs)
Stay on him, I believe he's hot.
- That's right.
I believe he's hot.
I know I used to get so excited to say that joke,
because it was one of the few that worked.
When we were young, it wasn't a guarantee.
We would do our 10 minutes on stage, or 15 minutes,
and like we'd have probably
three good minutes, out of the 15, right?
- [David] Some padding, yeah.
- Yeah, so you got excited to do the ones
that you knew you were going to get a reaction,
and the other stuff you were terrified.
- [David] I had like an audition set.
So I finally...
Everyone says like,
I meet guys who been doing it six months,
they go, I got about an hour of material.
I go bull (bleep).
(audience laughs)
There's no way.
Like an hour that sucks.
Just to get six minutes, they'd go,
we have a showcase, everyone's doing 10
everyone's doing eight for Star Search, or for Tonight Show.
So I had a six that I thought was really good.
But it was hard just to get that.
- [Adam] Yes, I did six for the Tonight Show and I ate it.
You got Johnny Carson.
- Yeah, barely at the last...
- You killed it.
I went to that show, do you remember?
I was in the crowd watching you.
You had a, he had a brand new sweater when he came out.
(Dave laughs)
(audience laughs)
And when he came on the show,
he squeezed his sweater and he goes,
"Somebody went to the Gap today."
(audience laughs)
- In the middle of my set, yeah.
- It was in the middle. - Yeah.
- It was incredible man.
- That was good as a weird joke. I look back.
That was a good weird joke.
- That was the best one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was cool.
(audience laughs)
- That (bleep) funny.
- I definitely, I ate it. I wanted that so bad.
Just because that would have been the one
that everyone in my home town talked about.
He met Johnny. That was the biggest one for you, right?
- (bleep) I have a picture of that, why we didn't show,
but I'll post it, don't you worry.
(upbeat music)
So when we were on Saturday Night Live,
some will remember, we were on the old days,
but I got on, we both got on pretty much
because the standup.
- Right.
- Right, so.
- You got on first.
- We auditioned. I think I got on with Rob Schneider first.
We just did the end of the season, like four shows.
And it was summer.
Farley and Chris Rock came in at the beginning.
- [Adam] Right, right, right.
- [David] And I think you didn't come in until maybe like,
November, December, right?
- [Adam] Yeah, yeah, maybe eight shows in
or something like that.
- [David] Yeah, yeah. You came in.
- You and Schneider told those guys I was good.
- Yeah, we were trying to help you out.
And I go, "Hey, he's good."
Then I go, "Medium good. Don't be like..."
(Adam laughs)
It was too late, he took off.
That was the first sketch I wrote,
which was of Michael J. Fox.
- Unbelievable.
- And that was the first one that got on the air,
and it was a bunch of guys.
- [Adam] Who was everybody in there?
I remember you did Michael J. Fox.
- Oh, yeah and I ate it.
- He loved it.
- "Hey, Sarge." Yeah.
(audience laughs)
We were just doing, like,
guys that never got laid yet.
- Oh, is that right?
- [David] We were explaining how we're not getting laid.
- Aw, that's funny, man.
- [David] Different ways that happened.
(Adam laughs)
But you got on, I remember,
I think the first one up there you did,
update's the easiest way to get on, on the show.
- [Adam] Right. - Quickest way, if you're new.
- [Adam] Yeah.
- And the Halloween one was one of my favorites, early.
- The Halloween one was...
(audience cheers and claps)
Yeah, if you remember.
- [David] They can look it up. That was cool because
very unique,
all personality driven, no one was doing anything like it.
- It was, yes. I think, I think I came up with that,
but Apatow always tells me that he came up with it
and told me to do it. - [David] Oh.
- I don't know who did, maybe he did.
He usually doesn't lie about that stuff.
But, but I remember I did it.
I remember, I got a, did you remember,
I think I did better at dress rehearsal with that.
- Oh, you always remember that shit.
- That hurt. That hurt.
When you do Saturday Night Live, you do the show before,
like I said.
- With a full crowd, like this.
- Full crowd like this, yeah.
It's like two hours worth of material
instead of the hour and a half.
So you're fighting and getting your stuff on,
and then,
I did better at dress rehearsal.
I used to do better at dress a lot.
- Yeah, I don't know why that is.
- It breaks your heart. You kill before the show.
You hear the crowd going, "ah!"
You're like, "Oh my god, this is gonna be incredible."
Then you do the live show, you do it and
they're kind of like, "Heh."
(audience laughs)
- Because you compare it to what you just did.
They don't know that.
- Right, right, right.
- But in your head, you're like, even one joke,
you're like, "(bleep) they're not as good as the last one."
- [Adam] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- But you did crazy spoon man, ay.
All that shit. So funny.
Did opera man.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Cajun man is great.
- You, but you, what was it called, Davey?
- Hollywood minute.
- Ah, Hollywood minute.
- Awee!
- Yeah, yeah.
(audience laughs)
Aw, that was always the goodbye.
- Ah, that's goodbye.
(audience cheers)
- [Adam] Yeah.
- You give it a big, hard goodbye.
- Always wanted to hit 'em at the end.
The roses thrown, and Nealon was always great.
Remember how great Nealon was to us?
- [David] Nealon was great on there,
I had a little bit of Dennis Miller,
then we had Nealon in there more.
- Yes.
I had Dennis, like, I think I had my first year was Dennis
and then old Neal, and then...
- Yeah. Sandu.
- Yeah, Sandman.
- Yeah, he used to make fun of us all the time.
- Oh, yeah, yeah.
- You guys. We did Gap Girl, Gap Girls was funnest for me--
- [Adam] For sure.
(audience cheers)
That was amazing.
- Look at me. Farley's really choking me.
I'm about to die.
- [Adam] Oh, yes. - [David] I wrote this most,
(David giggles)
look at your face.
I wrote that mostly, I went to the Gap in Arizona
on Christmas break, and I was just standing there,
and they were talking like,
"You weren't in the folding meeting."
(audience laughs)
I was supposed to be in every folding meeting.
I'm like, "There's a folding meeting?" She's like, "Yeah."
And then they'd put a piece of cardboard in and fold it,
and I was like, "Oh my god, you guys do that?"
And they're like, "Cable crews go up front."
So I just basically was gathering whatever they
really said and made us do it.
But I put us in it because that was a big chunk
of the week that we rehearsed.
- [Adam] No kidding.
- So it was more fun when you're new in it.
- [Adam] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You hooked us up. You hooked me up in that.
You hooked everybody up. It was the best when we were all,
all the young guys, when we were together
we were so relaxed.
- [David] That was fun. Because you weren't worried about
the other guy.
- [Adam] Yeah.
- We're just trying to stay on the show.
- [Adam] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
(audience laughs)
- Farley, when he says, "Lay off me, I'm starving."
- Yeah.
- It's one of my proudest moments
of a line I've written because
he did it so great, and I was so scared
he was gonna blow it.
- [Adam] Yeah.
- Because he comes in and I was
mouthing the words, because at rehearsal
he would sort of ad lib or screw around, I'm like,
all right. So I said it with him,
and then he got it right. I'm like, thank god.
- Dude, there is so many things when I would watch back.
Like we would tape it, we had the video whatever,
you tape your show, video cassette,
and I would watch it on Sunday
and literally half my skits,
I was mouthing along with it.
(David laughs)
- [David] It's hard to do.
Because we were (bleep) amateur hour.
(audience laughing and cheering)
This is from our Twitter account,
and some of these audience people here.
- Got it, got it.
(audience whoops)
- First question. Here we go.
- Let's do it.
- Did you like playing a Jewish person in Uncut Gems?
(Adam laughs)
(audience laughs)
- It was, you know, yeah, I had an acting coach.
(audience laughs)
Got me in, took me to a few temples.
I watched the behavior of the Jewish person.
- [David] This is how it is. Okay.
- Yes. So it was fun.
I think most of the characters in my life
I land on the Jewish person, and there are times when
I think I've been a character who was not Jewish
maybe one or two movies, but it always
midway through the shoot they go,
"You know what, let's make him Jewish." (David laughs)
(audience laughs)
It's not working out.
- But do you see, like for Uncut Gems,
which I saw, I thought it was great.
(audience claps)
- I love that you came to that.
You were the funniest because David
came to the premiere.
- Yeah.
- And I get a text like halfway into the movie.
"What time's it start?"
(audience laughs)
He didn't show. You got me, I thought,
you didn't show up.
- I know, almost there.
- Almost there, yeah.
- First of all, I just heard today
that it's setting records in like limited theaters.
- [Adam] Right, right, right.
- You know, it's only in a couple.
Then it blows big on Christmas day.
- [Adam] Yes, yes.
- Definitely worth it. Great to see.
(audience cheers)
- It's cool.
- [David] Very intense.
You know, I didn't really watch the preview
because I didn't want to know anything.
And so, I didn't know anything.
And then I went in, and I, still, didn't know much.
(Adam laughs)
Because I'm not that smart, so I'm like,
"I think that guy's Adam."
Everyone's like, "Shut up,"
(Adam laughs)
But it was cool.
- Davey, you should do a...
It's a funny movie, Uncut Gems,
but it's like kind of hardcore.
- [David] Yeah.
- You'd be so awesome in a movie like that. You would be.
(audience cheers)
He's a badass, David.
You don't have time, now that you have the show.
- No, I know, or we would do it.
I think.
I think it was you, where it was drama,
but it was even funnier because it wasn't really set,
you weren't expecting comedy,
but you're doing stuff that's funny.
- There's some funny stuff. My character's nuts, yeah.
- All right, well here we go. Here's another question.
- Hit me.
- Adam, did you work as a sky cap at JFK in 1989?
I think you called me a (bleep) bitch for not tipping you.
(Adam roars with laughter)
- Aw man.
- That wasn't you, was it?
- Wasn't me, but I certainly have that in me.
- [David] Yeah.
(audience laughs)
All right. Do you like when people do impressions of you?
- Yes. Yes. You do a good one.
(David stammers)
(audience laughs)
I get that. Davey, every time I talk to David on the phone,
I'll say something and I'll hear, "Oh, yo."
(David laughs)
- [David] Still works.
Another question,
I saw your kids singing on the news,
they have great voices. Actually, I was at that.
- [Adam] You were there, yeah.
- They were great. Do you think they'll
do it professionally?
- You know what, I don't know. I know they love to sing.
They like having fun. We just like to do, you know,
goof around, sing, jam, they play piano,
they play guitar. That's it.
You never know what the hell's gonna happen in life,
but they love it.
- They were great singers that night they did
a Taylor Swift song.
- How about the fact that they go on,
you know, sometimes when we do standup,
there's giant crowds and the kids come
and they go onstage and sing
just for fun, because they're like on the road with us.
And they're like, "Can we do some?"
And yeah, go ahead. Sing a tune.
And they, maybe like five seconds before you see them,
they go, "Oh my god."
But once they get out there they're kind of cool.
- They didn't really practice or anything.
- They don't practice, they do it, it's nice,
and then they leave, forget about it 1000 percent,
they don't even know what happened.
- Are you worried they won't go into
your profession of buffoonery?
(Adam laughs)
(audience laughs)
- They both can do the --
(David laughs)
I swear to god.
I ask my kids before I go to sleep.
You mind hitting me one?
They just go --
(David laughs)
- [David] Up down, down up.
(upbeat music)
