Who is today's guest and what is his background?
Hello there, everybody. This is Dana Solo. It's a little scary. My partner in crime, David Spade, is flying right now. He's flying to Singapore today to do a corporate date. No, I made that up. But anyway, I'll give you a little taste of him if you miss him. Everybody's like... Anyway, that's my David Spade. Our guest today, where David is on the interview, was really a blast. We put him in one of our favorites, Ike Barinholtz, who was on MADtv for like seven years, I think, did all these characters. He's got a big... A big resume, The Mindy Project, and currently Running Point on Netflix with Cade Hudson. Chet Hanks, that's pretty cool. Justin Theroux. So we go through all those shows. We go through his career. He has a nepo dad. You'll find out about that.
And he is sort of a brainiac. He's one... Celebrity Jeopardy and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and raised literally babillions, millions for charity. So very fun. A hard laugher came to play. So I think this one will cheer you up for sure. Ike Barinholtz, everybody.
I can't wait for the 50th anniversary of this podcast.
i skipped the snl 50th man had something to do wait were you i was wondering you must have had like you must have had the flu or something yeah i had the flu that was lingering so i was kind of by the day of the show i felt great but i was 3 000 miles away yeah no but i but yeah when i had to make the call i was like i don't have the oomph and you know yeah no
Well, if he doesn't have the oomph, we don't want him.
Marcy, look up oomph. No, it's a Scandinavian word for laissez-faire, I believe. For lazy fare. Did you audition for SNL? We don't have any now line. You have a lot to talk about.
I did not audition for SNL. In like 1998, I remember... people from NBC came to improv Olympic to watch, you know, to scout. And I remember, Oh my God. And it was the worst too. Cause the owner, God bless her Sharna. She like invited like 50 of us to go on stage at once. So like everyone was like, put your pushing people aside to like do a character.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was, it was just irreprehensible. But so then I, I, I moved to Amsterdam for a couple of years. And then when I came back, I was like, I want to do SNL. But before SNL, I even auditioned, I got cast on mad TV. And so I was kind of there.
Basically the same thing. So you're doing sketches and you stayed there a long time though, right? Are you one of the longest?
No.
There's different versions online, by the way. The last one I got before this was 2002 to 2007.
That's right. There's others, 2009 to, I mean, there's... I mean, it's a very important information, so it's natural there's going to be discrepancies online about it. Mine says 1886, too. It's got to be wrong. Oh, man, I did an amazing impression of Rutherford B. Hayes that really got me cast on it.
That guy gets literally no press.
I do them, too, by the way. I've done them. You did Rutherford Hayes? Give me a second. Now we need a Rothschilds. I'm Ruthie. Hey, Ruthie. Who's the PA president of this United States? I don't say it's accurate, but it's the stab. I'm Ruthie. Ruthie. So were you like, did that disappoint you at all that you weren't on SNL or you were just glad to be on a sketch show every week and pay?
My dream was to always be on SNL. We grew up in a very SNL heavy home and, Uh, like we, we, some of my earliest memories are watching like, uh, like Eddie Murphy, uh, the 83 year, uh, with like, uh, Billy Crystal and stuff. So we were obsessed with it in our house. And when you're in the comedy scene, especially the improv scene in Chicago in the nineties, that's your goal. Um, but I, you know, listen, man, I, I, I was busing tables at Morton's on La Cienega, uh, and i know the rest of them you know it's it's no longer there sadly uh bus boy i was a bus boy bus boy we've all been bus boys the hardest job in the world bus bussing tables it's so hard i'm especially there because there's like so many famous people you know and you you're like kind of like starstruck like one time i saw pete rose there and i was so excited you know then i walked past him and he grabbed my arm he goes hey give my wife a diet coke get out of here
