"Michael Keaton"

Huh. Yeah. Well, he gave me this gig that was one of my favorite. I'll talk to you about that MTM thing. But one of my favorite things I ever did was this character I did on, Tony Randall had a show for a minute. He had a couple of shows, I guess. Many shows, probably. But he had a thing called the Tony Randall Show, and Gary Goldberg hired me because he had seen me do something.

I think he gave me the job. I may have auditioned. But a night school, it was called Ed's Night School, I think. And Tony Randall taught law at a night school. And I played this kind of dude, you know. And, you know, like kind of a little dense, which is always fun and hard to play. Like kind of stupid.

And as an aside, I learned as much about comedy from watching Tony Randall because he would kind of direct because he knew more than anybody anyway. And his precision was so โ€“ and I was about โ€“ like I thought, no, man, you know, freewheeling.

His precision was so impressive that I remember going, whoa. pay attention to that. You know, where, you know, where and the how and the, you know, it was just really an education. So, yeah, when I was, when I was doing that and I, I apparently have forgotten the question, but... Mary Tyler Moore, grantee girl. Mary Tyler Moore. So then that, that led to all that other stuff.

And I stuck around for the second iteration, which was so fun, man. I had a little, I could afford a Honda, a little Honda Civic. I remember driving to work down to MTM Studios thinking, there's no way this could get better. There's no way my life could get better than this. And I was making, you remember, I mean, you go, look what you're making, you know, and it wasn't much.
