Well, that's one of those news stories because we're shooting two days in Los Angeles that it's mistaken for. They're moving to the entire season, you know. No, it's like a location shoot.
That was my, you know, when I had the idea for the show, I pitched it to them, to the producers, Dan Fogelman and Jess Rosenthal, based on, I wasn't even in it. I said, I think this is a good idea. And we liked it. And then they called me and said, would you do it? And I said, well, I can't. I could only do it if it's shot in New York. Right. And then that's what, you know, that's why it was shot.
And also it's a New York show, which makes it kind of great.
You've had great cast people on that show. So fantastic. Yeah. And that's what, when we get somebody that we can, you know, like, we worked with Matthew Broderick, and it was like so easy, and the comedy is so good. It's like you've worked together all, you know, your whole lives.
It came about after the fact because I had originally pitched it as three older people who have a lot of time on their hands. And we were busy. And then I think the studio suggested, what about Selena, actually? What about Selena? and we met her on Zoom, and they actually cast her, and we met her on Zoom, and Marty and I, after the Zoom, we call each other and go, she's perfect. Wow.
She's so sweet.
You've always been a champion of her. You pull out names from an old hat. Yeah.
yes morgan neville so glad what's it called it's called steve exclamation point okay yeah steve exclamation point and um it i got a call from morgan neville about this documentary and and i you know his credits are won't you be my neighbor and 20 feet from stardom yeah so many you know he did a thing called cool school yeah and uh And I met him when we got along.
And, you know, when you do a documentary, you have to open up, first of all, your archives, which I happen to have. They told me, they said, you have a lot of archives. And I didn't realize I had a lot of archives. So they went, prowled through my archives for months and months and months and found things. They found. Like an old sock. A photo. Pardon me.
It was a cherished sock. Anyway, they found a photo of my father in Germany in 1943 doing a USO show. Oh, thank God.
That could have gone a different direction.
I did not archive. I saved things. And I realized later, you know, I would take things like, oh, I'm on a magazine cover. I'll save it. And I'd throw it in a thing. Yeah. I was saving all the wrong stuff. I should have saved photos, which, you know, photos were hard to come by then. You just didn't snap it. You had to photo this and then, you know, change film, the whole thing.
So, but when I wrote my autobiography, I did have one little plastic box where I just threw things in and that had things like a receipt. from a hotel in Salt Lake City in 1971. So you knew where you were at that date and you could research. Do you remember her name though? It was like archaeological because as it went down, you would go past time, go through time.
Very good. By the way, you can buy Marty's book on Amazon. I mean, you won't. Right. If you needed it, it's there.
They're making the final decision on who it's about.
It's about four months, and I actually love it. You know, the studio's 20 minutes from my house, and also you're working with two other co-stars, and so you're not shooting every day, and when we work together, it's really fun.
I love your show. I love when you're joking around. It just feels like you're with three friends, you know? Not you guys, but...
Thank you for having us. Thank you, guys. We've loved it.
And I'll get the address, give you the address for the check.
It can't. No, it can't.
