Bradley Cooper

I don't feel like there's like a male archetype now that fits him.

He's like Robert Mitchum.

He reminds me like a young Robert Mitchum, Will Arnett.

And he's telling me that, I'm like, his voice and that face, stand-up comedy, I just couldn't get it out of my head, Joe.

And I was like, hey man, can I read it?

How far along are you guys?

And I read it and I was like, I didn't quite, because like you, I had never seen a movie that I thought nailed it, and I love stand-up comedy so much.

I was like, and I have no desire to try to redo it.

And also comedy is so massive right now.

And the specials are so great and cinematic right now that there's no reason to try to make a fictional movie about something that we can watch as a documentary or a docu-series or a show that is authentic.

I was like, so, but I still would really love to capture it cinematically.

So what if it's a foil and the movie's about the two of them?

Because that's interesting.

Yes.

And you suck.

That was one of the great scenes where Jordan was like, you're bad.

Yeah, she's like, no, you're bad.

You're really bad.

And it's much more about just what stand-up comedy, anything, and you talk about this on your show, doing anything that puts you out of your comfort zone, anything that pushes you, you're going to improve as a human being.

That was really what that whole thing is about.
