I guess we're, this is like how I meet you and let's go. And they're like, all right, three, two, one. And they do the interview. And I kind of started playing in the interview and being like doing a little bit of bits. And he immediately jumped on and loved it. And the whole press tour, when we did interviews together, we would do bits and it would, and he was, he was, he just couldn't wait.
Of course. He's like, he was the best. We had the best time.
I know. It's crazy. I do. I did. It's amazing.
Dude, he's so funny in this thing. Eddie Murphy was in a movie like four months ago. Yeah, he came out with three movies. Oh, really? He's been in three movies in like three months. And a new Beverly Hills Cop. Yeah. All right. Well, shit, I missed it. That's true. But that's the London premiere.
Yeah, Jim Carrey, other than this, he hasn't done... I think this is the only movies he's done since...
covid maybe wow could be because our movie came out during covid i think he's semi he said he's semi-retired he takes power breaks yeah yeah but she's like i i just if something amazing happens and i want to jump in i'll jump in but like outside of that it's like i think he's pretty content and a pretty he's a very um spiritual guy he's pretty remarkable yeah he's a painter now he paints he does every he's he's amazing
We'll talk about it. He's very macro, very big universe type thing. You guys have no Shanley at all? Are you friends with Shanley at all? Love Shanley. We never met him. So I was very close to him. He was one of my guys. Wait, you knew him? I played in his basketball league every week for six years. Larry Sanders is like my... Larry Sanders, I think, is the best. Gotta get him on the wall.
Why is he not on the wall? There he is. Oh, there he is. Good. He's the best. Oh, and he was so close to Bob. So the fact that they're next to each other makes me so happy. He's probably really close to Norm too. But he was very spiritual also. So it's like that type of feel where he was like a Buddhist kind of. Yes. He would talk about spiritual stuff all the time. He was enlightened. Yes.
Jim has that. I think he was... He was the most famous person in the world, Jim, for so long, I think. Sure, I believe it. That I wonder. We could never relate to what it feels like to be him. Because even when we go to dinner or something, when he walks in, when we're with a famous comedian, some people look and they're excited. But he is. There's nobody that doesn't know who he is. Yeah.
So he can't. have a genuine normal experience, I bet. I don't know, I'm not asking, but it's like, when he walks, I remember when I was a page at Letterman, and Letterman's security guard would be like, Letterman can't even go get a pack of cigarettes. He can't, and like, he wants to, but he can't, and that drives him crazy or whatever. So for a gym, I wonder if it's like, He's amazing.
He says hello to everybody. He's incredible. You guys would love him.
Of course. I feel like also before you meet somebody that we've known in movies or TV or stand-up for a long time, before you meet them, they're the person you've seen. They're not a real person yet. They're like this fictional character. And then when they start talking like normal humans, like, oh, I can bond with you about real shit.
And then they become human beings and stuff like that.
yeah does that make sense yeah of course who who was a good hooper in the shanley league um in that who is it there's a bunch they by the way it was a thing where we were always supposed to he liked to keep it private nobody talked about it and nobody talked about it and then when he passed away like a big article about it came out and like a couple magazines and i was like oh the whole point was like to not whatever but like stand-ups that played there that were amazing uh kevin nealon and dude kevin nealon i think is one of the funniest people in the world yeah
And Adam McKay played in that too. And he's also one of the funniest people in the world. But Nealon would do these bits where he would be like, he's just so committed. He commits so hard to bits. He would be near, he was standing near a tree. And he goes, Ben, did I ever show you my Coach Giraffe character? And I go, Coach Giraffe? I go, no, let me see it, Kevin. And he literally did this.
So imagine, you know, he's six foot three, probably a four, something like that. He goes, I need you to get up there. I need you to play three, two defense. You know, make two, three difference. I need two guards up top, three in the bottom. And then he slowly eats a leaf. Just eats a leaf and never, and commits like a real monologue from a coach.
But slowly eats leaves throughout the whole thing. Wow. And it was, he's so good. Funny. That's great. And his delivery is so dry that it's like so good.
No, that's him respecting the joke. Absolutely, that's him respecting the joke.
It's so good.
He's amazing. He would work on stuff for a bit also, like Gary Fee. I don't know if we needed that part. I don't know if we needed the gun. But that's amazing. That's them playing with each other. Yeah, I love that scene. The whole episode's great. So funny. Larry Sanders, I think, is the best comedy ever made. I watch it so much. It's perfect. Any episode that starts with Hank. Oh, my God.
