In today’s funny news, he is going to talk about sideburns. He told me that it was paid when I was in college. I was doing a play in the theater and around Minneapolis. There was a piece of paper on the court, which was for an audition for an Alfred Hitchcock-like thriller. It was not an Alfred Hitchcock-like Driller, it was a slasher film, and my abs looked great, so it was filmed somewhere in northeast Wisconsin. I had to drive back. I left after the shoot, it was really late. Actually, I actually fell asleep behind the wheel, and the car I was in went into a ditch. I woke up to the sound of an air horn from a semi that looked at me, and I woke up. He also told the funny things of his life that when that car popped back on the road at that time, I was driving. It was a lecturer. I had installed a cassette deck. That is enough by itself because it had an old Philco radio in it anyway. It had one tape in it, and it was Bachman Turner Overdrive. You have not seen anything, yet that was on that thing, but anyway, I had a scary experience. I get something from that movie. Which is really terrifying to me.
Hi mom, being tucked in, Oh my god, who is that guy? I could not have asked for a better first boss. You know, starting on TV with Carol Burnett and getting out of graduate school, I actually got three jobs immediately. I went under study for a Moliere player in New York, and then I got some film and shooting in like the Czech Republic or something, and it was a script. Which was kind of a soft porn, then there was a job with Carol Burnett on TV. It was very clear to my parents in Minnesota that I was being interviewed by Carol Burnett right. Decisions at all or no, what was it like in Italy. In every episode, there are different cultures, like would you ever want to host SNL?
Not only would I want to host SNL, but I would also love to be on our show. I may be a little old, but Lorne Michaels would never tell someone older to go on SNL. I would, I love playing, I love doing this, and it is funny because a lot of people know me from Six Feet Under. I realized that I started doing sketch comedy. I have a job, and I was determined to show that at the time. The interesting thing for me was that I came from working with Carol Burnett, who is very humble. A lot of these actors were young, and so their egos were incredibly inflated. Not all of them were out there. I would say Jason Priestly, the late Luke Perry, we are very nice guys. Also, great, really nice guys. Also, Welles Parker in Prospect was needed to close out The Truman Show. I would love to meet again with Jim Peter. We are the director of this movie. The brilliant director hired me, called me and said I think I will have to take your place. Because you look too much.
So I got hired, got fired, not really, and then they called me back and said are you willing to do something special with your hair so you look remarkably different from Jim, so I have hair like your Beaumont. Have you ever done Beaumont and left it to Beaver? He had hair like that. You better know how he could go to a bar and find some guys. I can beat everybody up. Sports Night was one that I think was in a lot of people’s hearts. To come here and give me a pep talk, just hoping that the people out there will love it as much as we love doing it. The cast was fantastic. You know it is funny because now with the more politically correct attitude of things, I get that it was not liking that. It was fun behind the scenes; we saw the poker game going on in the viewing room.
