David Spade 0:00

Our guest is a good friend of yours.

Dana Carvey 0:02

Yes. John Phineas Corbett.

David Spade 0:07

John Zachariah Corbett.

Dana Carvey 0:09

Yes. He's a really good friend. This podcast is very interesting because I'd met with him before just to kind of get the lay of the land. And I would hear little bits of stories. I go, save it, save it, save it. Because his journey, if you haven't heard this one, is really, really interesting. Just a tease. It's like he was once a hairdresser, you know. And he interacts with John Lovitz, Phil Hartman. Anyway, so this was a very interesting one. And then he makes kind of a surprise analysis at the end. So if you haven't heard it, definitely listen to this one.

David Spade 0:46

Yeah, I love it. I didn't know him. I just knew him in passing. And he was as advertised. You told me he had a lot of interesting things to say, and he did. And he was really fun. Lighthearted, a lot of laughs, good looking, which I always...

Dana Carvey 0:59

great he's tall and good looking that's that's that's for sure uh i hid my jealousy for most of it and uh yeah anyway here he is john corbett john corbett uh what were you saying all i saw was john being really animated i click in and he goes and so in the end i got the girl i always get the girl in the end you know that I know, first time I met you, you just said, I always played the boyfriend.

John Corbett 1:30

I always chase the girl around the kitchen for 90 minutes and get her in the end in any movie.

David Spade 1:36

John and I have something in common. We're both the perfect boyfriend.

Dana Carvey 1:40

Here we are. You guys played a lot of boyfriends. We played a lot, yeah.

David Spade 1:46

John, we'll talk about you for the rest of this, but I have to say, in all my movies... And TV shows. I've only been married once. I've only been this guy flirting with girls. It just shows how limited I am in acting. But other than that, I guess I could do other stuff. They just have never wanted to.

Dana Carvey 2:10

You could act. Who?

2:13

Who?

Dana Carvey 2:13

David can act, but you're like, damn.

John Corbett 2:19

Listen, David's a fucking great actor.

David Spade 2:22

There you go.

John Corbett 2:22

Thank you. Here's the thing. I was thinking about you. I was thinking about both you guys because we're going to do this thing. So I started thinking about what's interesting in my life. It's not just about me, this thing. I've listened to a lot of your podcasts, so I love it when you guys talk about yourselves. But I I mean, I was watching you, we just for fun the other night, watched Tommy Boy again, because I hadn't seen it since it was in the theaters, and I've never seen it with Beau, right? So we watched it, and... Man, you know what you reminded me of in that, David, is one of my favorite movies is Moneyball, right?

David Spade 3:06

You guys see Moneyball?

John Corbett 3:08

Oh, yeah. Love it.

David Spade 3:09

Jonah Hill, right?

John Corbett 3:10

Yeah, yeah. Brad Pitt. Yeah, Jonah Hill, very funny guy also. But I could also so easily have seen you playing a role like that in Moneyball. Have people come to you for roles like that? Like, not just a big, broad comedy?

David Spade 3:28

No, I was sort of saying that because I was joking that in movies, I'm always single, and I don't know why, but once it started, it was every TV show, every sitcom, every movie, and I've only been married once in a movie. They're like, what if you're actually married to a girl? Would anyone believe or understand that? And so that was sort of my funny thing. But I do I do have a movie that we're doing in about a month where I sort of have a slightly different part. So that's that's rare. But I'm not here to talk about that. I'm just here to say you are known as like this perfect, cool guy. And every girl I know that I mentioned, you know, that's sort of your rap is like, oh, my God, you fall in love with that guy so easily.

David Spade 4:07

So we don't have to only talk about that, but that is a nice wrap to have.

Dana Carvey 4:11

Right. And just a complete John's thought about you, David, is I think that your attitude and your rhythm in a comedy and then put that in like no one will know this except old people. A movie like Fail Safe where he's advising the president. In other words, your attitude in a serious scenario. played very real would be fun. I've said, I said that two years ago. Now I would like that. Now let me, I'm going to control the interview today.
