Yeah. Still Parks and Rec. Oh, sure. Parks and Rec is number one, I think. And now... Baby Shark's Big Show. Blizzard Wizard. Now it's... That's big money right there. Sonic is a big one, too. Of course. I got to do a scene with Animal and the Muppets. Whoa. Which by the way is so funny. I bet you guys would be the same way as that.
We just started going and you just know, I just know the rhythm how to make Animal funny because I've watched the Muppets my whole life. Sure. So I know exactly what to do to set him up. Yeah. So it's so easy. So it's like I know the cadence to make a Muppet funny because I know the Muppets so well as a kid.
It's a lot of voiceover.
I mean, usually all these jobs that you're looking at are probably SAG scale. What?
Oh, my God. And it doesn't exist anymore because now there's not even residuals. Exactly. So it's like even like in the beginning when I did DuckTales, we would get a bunch of residuals because they played over and over again in Disney. But now they give it a Disney Plus and you don't really get residuals.
I know.
This is very weird to look at this. Sorry. Blue Iguana was with Sam Rockwell, and I just sold a movie with him. That's going to be fun. He's a beast. Dude, he's the best. Great actor. He's the fucking best. And I wrote a really fun movie for us that Yorma's going to direct.
Yorma from Lonely Island. Oh, yeah. He's going to direct it.
They haven't announced what it is yet. Oh, yeah, I did the voice of BB-8 from Force Awakens. Wow, BB-8.
my man uh and then i think they i think jj just found a fucking app on his ipad and that was what he used oh wow it was me i did lines as bb8 and then they transformed them into beeps and boops and then um and you made it on the simpsons your dream that was it i had three goals when i first started one was to be because i was a page at letterman showing people the bathroom was so one was to be a guest on letterman i did it two weeks before he stopped okay simpsons to be voicing simpsons the third one was to host snl which i have not wow
That's enormous.
Do you realize how insane this is?
Oh, I love that. And he was like, if I'm talking to anyone, you know, but no, you know what this means though, by the way, this means that he had to have seen you do comedy. He was very cool. And think you're funny enough. Cause he would not have you on the show unless he personally thought you were funny.
It's not real. That's not real anymore.
He is the best. I was a page at that place. I watched him do it. I watched him my whole life. My parents would be lying down on their bed like this. I'm perpendicular to them. And we would all watch Letterman every single night. Wow. It was such a big deal in our house. And then when I was a page there, And I hustled my way to get that job. We didn't know anybody.
So it's like I got so lucky in getting that job. And when I was a pager, I saw him every night. And then when I started freelancing for the monologue, whenever he ended all of his monologues, he would point to Paul Schaefer and say, ladies and gentlemen, Paul Schaefer and the CBS Orchestra. And that's how you know no more jokes are going to be said.
And so me as a page, I'm there helping people in the audience. How cute. Oh, yeah. I just posted that yesterday because I did Colbert yesterday. Oh, cool. That's me as a page on the bottom. Wow. So 20 years ago. That's me 20 years ago. That's amazing. And so then anytime you'd point, you know, it's over, I know I didn't get a joke on.
So I started to say like, fuck, and you could hear it in the show. And I started to get yelled at by the audience person being like, Ben, you can't be on the floor anymore because you're cursing when you don't get your jokes on. And I was like, I'm so sorry. I had no idea you could hear that. That's amazing.
He's a very talented guy.
Oh, my God.
