‘Wayne’s World’ With Bill Simmons and Kyle Brandt

The backstory for him is everyone tells their audition story. Mike Myers did not audition for SNL.

He was doing a display at the Second City in Toronto. Martin Short saw him and called Lorne Michaels and said, you have to hire this guy. Did not audition, was hired. That's unheard of, no audition. And he came on in the middle of a season, mid-season replacement. And by the end of the season, he was already doing these characters and then became a star really fast.

That's the weirdest niche, dude. That is the guys where you're like, oh, that person. Jay Moore, Downey Jr., Stiller. Those really talented people who just didn't fit or something.

I care now. And it goes back deep. Myers would do Wayne for years before SNL. It would be part of his Second City stuff. You have this character named Wayne. Gets to SNL and he's like, all right, I want to do Wayne. He's this guy who likes heavy metal and is funny. And they're like, no, you got to have a wingman. You got to have somebody else.

He tells the story that he said, all right, I picked Dana Carvey because he was the best person in the cast. But then I also hear he doesn't want him in the movie, even though he's in the sketch. And I've heard you guys talk about the Dr. Evil stuff, which is, Carvey has said it. I mean, I think he was on Howard Stern saying, it's not just the voice.

I love it. It bothers me to hear it, but then when I watch the movie, I instantly forget it. And you know how he must have been a really, really strong personality to have to deal with? Wayne's World is his first ever movie. He has never appeared in any movie scene of any kind. He's the lead in this movie, and he's still not happy to be there at all. Not like, wow, great, I get to make a movie.
