Full Episode
Hey there, Will Arnett here from SmartList. It's the podcast where Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and I interview somebody. Two of us don't know who that person is because one of us has brought on a surprise guest. That's the whole conceit. I wish I could describe it better, but I'm not that smart. So it's SmartList, and it's starting now. You never did a guest spot over on the Mork & Mindy, huh?
No, but I would have.
What was your best guest spot when you were a kid? Knight Rider. Yeah, of course. Knight Rider just made my year. I was 15, and so I couldn't drive yet. So this was an opportunity not only to guest on the best show in the world, but also drive a Trans Am. owned by the Hoff, and see how they do all the tricks over there.
They had a little guy sitting behind the seat that was looking through this mesh sort of headpiece in the seat. Sure. I loved all the movie magic.
I was going to say, you would have made a good...
computer if they already had you would have been a good I would have cast you as a computer I'd still cast you as a computer wait because because I know that about you it was on the other day not your episode but Knight Rider and Scotty and I turned it on and they did this like super fancy interior shot of the car And I'm telling you right now, it was disgusting in there.
It was like there was, like, dust and, like, wrappers all around it and, like, all the scratches on it. Like, it was not pristine at all.
Wow. The on-set dresser was not great on the show.
Look at this. 35 years later, you're taking shots at, you know, Transpo and picture cars. Great. Great. We'll have the local on your ass by Monday. Hey, guys, I'm so glad that we're here today because we have a guest on our show, and we say this a lot, you know, deserves no introduction, but this is just another example of that.
