Yes, I have actually stayed at Airbnbs from time to time. And truth be told, I do really like them. I'm being totally honest right now that I've had great experiences with them. Yeah. I mean, you can have your look at you go get your own place, get your own pool, your own living room. You're not going to walk in an elevator. You're not going to see people when you're walking around in your undergarments. Yeah.

Yes. And if you don't understand what we're talking about, you should go online. What we're saying is you have a house with a kitchen and a bathroom and it's just for you, tailored for you. You liked your Airbnb over a hotel. Yes. And I do think I've had relatives stay nearby and sometimes it's very nice for them to do an Airbnb and have a little house and they're not underfoot. The last thing you want is your house guest to say, excuse me, um,

Where would I find a towel? That's a toughie when it's- Because they're naked? Well, it's like the 1800th time you say, on the towel rack. Yeah. Thank you. Oh, I was going to look there. People don't even think hotels sometimes just go, hey, I'll go there. I'll get an Airbnb. So you won't regret it. Hey, Dana. This is going to be Chris Kattan this week. And Chris was-

overlapping with me for a while, maybe you. I was just going to tell you that I got a lot of good feedback from the last couple of shows. Really? Which ones? We don't really talk about this. Paul Rudd was on. Will Ferrell obviously was a home run, you know, because he's so entrenched in SNL and he's one of the all-time greats. Super, super talented. You know, Paul Rudd. Yeah. I forgot that he was voted one of the, I forgot to tell him, I was voted one of the sexiest men in America.

But when I looked, it said one of the sixiest. I'm one of the hottest sixes out there. What? I don't get it. That I'm a six. Oh, you're a six? Yeah. On a one to ten? Yeah. I don't know. You know, different setup or something. I'm kind of lost in translation. I'm one of the sixiest men in America. Yeah, but you're not even a one to ten. I don't know. Yeah, I think people say your book should be called My Life is a Six. I'm like, I'm at least a 6.5.

Right, Dana? Well, the job of the woman who's going to land David Spade is to convince you you're a 10. There you go. Or an 11. Why can't you be? Women, look, here's David. We haven't talked about this before. You can shut the camera off. Okay, please. Women like other things than just raw handsomeness. I mean, my looks don't matter. Am I really good looking? Yeah. Is it a big deal? No, I don't lean into it. Women can like sense of humor and smarts.

And I put you at a 12 there. Okay. Thank you. See, I'm tearing up. Also. Evan just wiped his hair. Yeah, that was very sweet. I'm not even going to say the next thing. Let's talk about Chris Kattan. Thank you, Dan. I'm going to start crying. Is it my new sweater? No, I don't want to talk about it. It looks like old OP. Well, it looks kind of vintage. Yeah, isn't that cool? Well, look at this. Want to touch it? This is the one you showed me. I know. This is the one I wear every week. The fans love it.

Fans freak out. Fans freak out. I'm going to bring up my cool meter for a second here. Get your shades on. Kattan. Kattan is a brilliant comedian. He did a great job on that show. His physicality with Mr. Peepers, it sounds funny, but as good as it gets, his commitment, brilliant. Who did he play? Mango? I played Kiwi on one of the ones when I hosted. He played Mango and we had a fight.

It's pretty funny. Well, yeah, Mango is... You know Mango, he's... I know, it's such a quirky character, but we talk all about that. We talk about Mr. Peepers. And we do get into how he got injured with all this throwing himself around the set. A lot of people have gotten some pain from that. Did you ever hurt yourself, fall backwards or anything? Going to catering once, I slipped on a... Somebody puts a piece on your... Lauren had you catering even in your third season? No.

David, if you don't... All the hot dogs are on one tray. It's not rocket science. It's so simple. If you have time, I'm going to cut your update to give you a little more time. So, yeah, he also talks about Will Ferrell and all this stuff, they did together. And then he's on Dancing with the Stars. Yeah. Yeah, and just is a really nice guy. Packed full of action stuff. Yeah, enjoyed that interview a lot. So I hope you do too. I really do. All right, Chris Kattan. Chris Kattan.

Is that better? Yes. Yes. Great. You know what the bad news is? Sorry about that technology. We're out of time. No, it's fine. How would Mango have tolerated this? How would Mango deal with this? I don't know what the frick.

What the frick? Hey, Dana, you know, I did a mango. Chris, do you remember? I do remember that. Are we starting? No. Yeah. I do remember that. I was Kiwi, your arch enemy. Yeah, you're a Kiwi and you got your buddy Chris Rock to be in it too as well, which was very nice of you. Oh, did he? What did he do? Yeah, he did. He did a little cameo. He was just like, you know, at the door saying,

mango can i i want you or something i don't know that was his read mango i want something like that i want you you know it's funny i i saw him on the show with uh someone about two weeks ago and then about a month ago and i go rock you're actually on the show more now than when you were a cast member i know

And he hangs out a lot too, right? He just goes there. Why not? It's like a club. I know. It's kind of cool. That is cool. If I wasn't hosting and I was in New York, I've only been there once. I was actually, well, the 40th, but that doesn't count. Do you like going down the hallway and seeing pictures of yourself from 40 years ago doing a sketch? I have a difficult time trying to find them.

You're like, where's the Catan section? Is there any pictures of me on this wall? If you look at Anna Gasteyer's ones, you take them off and then we see you. I don't know. I have no idea. Get out of here. You're an all-star. I do remember that, though. Remember, I don't know if you ever felt this, but there was something about being on that show and being like,

Is there a picture of me outside of Lauren's office? Like as if that meant something like, Oh, look, there's a picture of me in this sketch and it's outside of Lauren's office. Like that's something special. Yes. You know what that right. When you go up the stairs to, to people listening, eighth floor is where you shoot the show. If you walk up the stairs, ninth floor, it's also the balcony of the audience. You can watch. And it's also Lauren's office. And that's where they pick the sketches and,

on the air night. And if you walk up those steps and you're walking Lauren's door, there's a secret door you can go in. That's right. But there's, there's frame photos. And I would always like to be on one of those because the host would see it. And then they would go, Oh, that guy's on the show. He must be something.

But there weren't any of me. We're all wounded little clowns. They were all of Dana. Everybody gets into that. Where's my photo? Where is it? Why not me, me, me? I would get very relaxed when I would see Lorne on a show day. He'd have a tall, foot-long glass. He'd take an Amstel Light. Right, Amstel Light. I remember that. Which is like 2% alcohol, whatever. That's how he, you know. And then he would do that long pour.

And you're like, God, we have a show today. He's pretty relaxed. I guess we're in good shape. Sometimes I'd have a drink with him watching the monitors underneath the bleachers because I had nothing to do in the show. You guys are so self-deprecating about this. Hey, Lauren, can I get an amp still? I don't think I sat with him in that.

Like in a way of being, you know, relaxed with him. I remember just being in there to get notes, but his notes were going through whomever was there at the time, like,

Someone like Lyle or I don't know. Some, someone was giving the notes to me through Lauren was telling her the notes and then she was telling me. And you were one foot away. Yeah. Yeah. You know what? I like that. I forgot about under the bleachers. There's a monitor and Lauren watches the show. And then he says what he's thinking during dress and the Lyle and someone write him down. Maybe Aaron. Yeah. And then Aaron, Aaron Maroney. And then they go, I remember he goes too much blue.

All right, what's he doing here? We don't need that entrance. Why do I see that trophy? Bring Keith in here. That's not a Chardonnay. It's more the color of a Pinot Noir. Yeah. Why are these shorts too tight? I can see Catan's balls. Why are the testicles so wide? Why is one lumpier than the other? How old is he? I forgot. How old is Catan? Yeah.

Can he be younger? Catan is Catan. Isn't that what he is? Isn't that what he is? Isn't he a full sentence, Chris Catan? Like a little boy. You know, Spade? Yeah. Do you remember when I first got on the show, I was, well, put in your office or shared an office with you.

And remember that you and I and Hugh Fink were... Oh, Fink was in the... Yeah, yeah, yeah. We were office mates. 96. I don't remember that that much because I thought they sequestered me and Hugh away from everyone because I didn't do many sketches. That was a year, Dana. I stayed one year, maybe too long. I mean, you weren't there too long. Lauren goes, if you stay...

Do five minutes a week. You can do whatever you want. I was so excited to be seeing you. Cause I was like a huge, I'm still a huge fan, but at that point I was like, I'm really a huge, like, I loved your Tom Petty. I loved your life. I was like, Oh my God, I was telling my mom, like I'm sharing an office estate. It's crazy. You know, I was so like, and you were totally relaxed. Of course, you know, you were so dry and like, uh, I feel David, you're too relaxed. No,

No, I, I, that was a way when I got there, you just see people that have been on. So it's fun to say, Oh, I'm with people that are actually on. They been through the fucking grind. It's like saving private Ryan and you're the new guy. And they're like already in the middle of their hike. And you're like, Hey, I'm new. And they're like, get in line. We're going in. You're like, we're already, I don't know anything yet. They're all grizzled vets. I didn't know what was happening, but I just, it's,

stuck with, but Lorne was helpful. He was just telling, well, he told Shoemaker to tell, you know, say that, why don't you try out the gibberish guy? So that's what I did the first week that I was on. Was that your first sketch? Yeah, it was the Schulf Forrester, the, you know, good afternoon, I'm somebody, somebody, I'm a guy, I'm a guy. Yeah. But they, you know, they asked me to do that thing because I had no idea what to do otherwise. I was like sitting in front of a computer and,

And I didn't know what to do. It was like six weeks before the end of the season. Putting diarrhea in your pants. Yeah, you know, oh, you came in mid-season? Actually, six weeks before the end of the season, which is after mid-season. Yeah, I came in four weeks before the end. I know that's definitely weird because it's already going. It's already happening and no one's got time for you. Yeah, but I was really excited to be in the same office with you. I was like freaking out. What did you bring from the...

The groundlings are like, you know, they'd say have some stuff in your back pocket. Was the gibberish guy one of those?

Sue Forrester, Mr. Peepers, and Mr. Peepers the monkey thing, which was made. Thank you very much. Please hold up. Well, I want to talk about Mr. Peepers because I go by like when I watch the show and something is kind of supernatural, like I've never seen before. It never gets out of my brain. And that one was like, wow, this is so different. It's so cool.

Yeah. Weird. Was that the eat the apple? That's where I ate the apple. And then I probably humped somebody.

Yeah. But to turn yourself in into a monkey, a human like animal. Yeah, I'm a, you know, half man, half monkey. So that's what he was in your show. He's literally a hybrid half man, half monkey. Basically, yeah. I was there for a read through the first time. Mr. Peepers, Catan walks out half man, half monkey.

wearing a diaper. Puses apple, takes a bite. And then I got on the table to like, I have to show that I can do this physically. Oh no, you got on the table? Oh no. In the read-through in front of 60 people. Yeah, people were not very happy about that. Because you're getting apple shillings on everyone? All over.

everybody. Oh, don't get juiced. Really? I got on there. I got like even jumped on the main table, the table. And then at one point I went to the window like behind Lauren and jumped off there. And I even remember Pete and Piedmont was like, Jesus. Was who was the host? You remember? Yeah.

Oh, I don't know. Probably like Charlize Theron. I think it's Charlize Theron. Do you remember, Dana? I wasn't there, but a story where...

Ben Stiller, Dolly Parton was the host. I was there. Yeah, what happened? He did U2 or something? Well, Ben stayed up all night working on a U2 sketch. I was the edge. He was Bono. And Ben decided we would all get up in the read-through room with the 60 people and put on like a sketch. But Ben had a loose vest on with no...

no shirt underneath. And Bennett stayed up all night and had not showered. And he put Dolly Parton right up against him. It was, it was interesting for Ben. Well, she has like double D. Well, I don't know. Why are we talking about that? Anyway,

Anyway, that must have been an interesting sight. I think everyone knows Dolly Parton has big boobs. When Dolly did the show where I'm on the soundstage with Phil and John and she goes, OK, boys, I'll look away so you can look at him. I'm going to look away now. Is that what you say? Look all you want. I remember seeing 9 to 5 as a kid and I was like, oh.

I love nine to five, nine to five. Yeah. Remember that movie with Lily Tomlin? Hell yes. Jane Fonda. Hell yes. I remember her. That was great. So, so how long were you at Groundlings anyway? How long of stay? And your dad was the beginning. He started it with people basically, which is amazing. One of the founders. Yeah. So he was in the, the, you know, the main, or it wasn't a Sunday show then. So yeah, he was one of the main, uh,

He was a cast member, original one with Paul Rubens and, you know. Oh, wow. The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. But he yeah, so he was there. He I'm trying to think who else. Laurie Newman and, you know, those. Oh, wow. That cast, I think. And that's what inspired me. And.

He's passed away, but he did all the sticky stuff. He was actually in a class that Jerry Lewis taught once in the 50s. Wow. So your dad is doing all this and then you're a little kid and so you're being exposed to comedy.

constantly as a little kid. He watched a lot of old movies. I mean, you guys probably had the same thing. You know, you were educated someplace somewhere of some sort of inspiration. And no, he was what inspired me. I don't know what, what inspired you, Dana. I mean, you must've like, were you in the doing to the mirror kind of thing alone in a jail cell? It was, you know what? There were five kids, four boys, five kids. And, uh,

Yeah, I kind of had a dream of it by the time I was eight, nine or ten of just being one of those guys on TV. I didn't think movies or even Saturday Night Live. It was just Danny Kaye or, you know, I don't know, Smothers Brothers.

So I had a secret dream, but I went into cross country and track. I never took theater. I was a bus boy, then a waiter. And I finally got on Courage and had years of stage fright, like little physical manifestations of trying to do stand up. So that's how I got into it. But my dad was a high school teacher and my mom was a preschool teacher. But it's interesting to have a dad who specifically, yes, is a comedy sketch guy.

Wonder kind. Well, it's probably high pressure because they judge. You think they're judging. Are you any good? And you're probably not that good. My dad was kind of funny, like dads are. And so I'm trying to make him laugh. And my

comedy sort of gets shaped by what he thinks is funny but he took me to young frankenstein he took me to some movies that he thought was funny and it kind of made me go oh is that you know you're gonna be a student of your dad's comedy in a weird way indirectly what he laughs at he watched mash that was kind of dry i like that and so that actually helped if he was a super cornball

it might've thrown me. Well, you taught me about, I mean, you kind of like introduced me to dry humor. I mean, there was other dry comedians, but you Spade were like the shit. I mean, wow. You just totally stamped sarcasm on television, like to the ultimate level. And it was like really cool to see. I remember that because I was like brought up like,

my dad would show me older things like old Hollywood, you know, like the Chaplin, the Keaton and the Marx Brothers. A lot of physicality. Yeah. But also banter like bits, you know, Marx Brothers. Yeah. Yeah. Well, but older Hollywood, too, like black and white, you know, stuff in the 40s and the 50s and

that stuff. And I love, yeah, I love the team stuff, stuff between one person and another. And I thought connection and that kind of thing was really cool to see. And that's what,

really inspired me too. Like you had that with Farley too. And, uh, you know, that was really cool to see. You know, it's funny. I was thinking of Farley today because one time I know you have sort of, we both have neck troubles sometimes. I think yours pretty bad too. Uh, yours is probably worse at this point.

Uh, to be honest, um, but I was doing a motivational speaker. Maybe yours is better. I don't know. I'm not saying that to be negative. I'm just saying, I know you've had some trouble. Oh no, I know. And, uh, I, I'm going to text you. I did a motivational speaker and I, uh, and he picked me up and he dropped me like backwards through a table and it's so, and it fucking hurt. And I rolled off and he goes, you acted like you were hurt at the end. It ruined it. I go, well, we already at commercial and it did hurt. I had a,

I had a thousand pound ox fall on me. You don't want Chris Farley throwing you around. That's not good. Can we do some jokes? Do I have to be?

Anyway, it was funny that then I got up and I was like, ow, but my neck had been bad the whole time. Yeah. I separated my shoulder. It's it's bothers me to this day, but it's very functional on SNL doing a practice. I really was stupid to do it. It was over an autumn and doing like a Dick Van Dyke type thing. But I was Dan Quayle just went over and crunched it. And because I don't know, my childhood was pretty rough. I went I did like two more.

Then I was walking around with my shoulder up and Mary Tyler Moore was the host and her husband was there. He's a doctor who goes, and I think you separated your shoulder. So, but it was non-surgical. And the next night I had to do all these quick changes. But anyway, you know, you get hurt in show business. Did they pop it in? No, they didn't pop it in. It's got, I got a bump, but I work it a lot. I keep it loose. I broke my ankle on a Sandler movie too, but that's fine.

We don't want Seller listening to this going, whoa, I can't do that. Were you, I got to a place where I was like, you know, used to the pain, but I like a trooper, like a, you know, a footballer.

you know, I was like, I just got to keep going. Got to go with it, you know, and rest the pain. And I tell somebody, you know, and like, I don't want to, I did tell somebody, but I was just still like embarrassed by it. Yeah. Well, it's also what you don't want instinctually. Cause I had the bypass when I was 42, you don't want,

Some people like to be pitied. I find it an uncomfortable emotion of this sort of like, oh, Chris. So I do understand the idea of like, let's just not make this become my trademark or how people see me. And so for years I had that. Yeah. Do you feel okay today? You know that. Well-intended people, by the way, but you know. I do that. When I'm on a movie and they go, Spade's got a bad neck. And then by the time

It gets around the crew. They're like, you have to go up on this, uh, this step of this ladder. It's about six inches up. Do you need help? Should we get your guy in here to do it? And I go, I can step up a step. Okay. You don't have to do anything. We'll bring your stunt man in. We'll bring him in for the day. My stunt man was literally in the wings at all times smoking going, I think I should do this one. I'm like, it's just shaking hands with someone. He's like, you know, we don't need you to throw your shoulder out because you're the biggest pussy in America.

Did you, did your stunt man look like you? He sort of does. I think I still have the same one. I think I'm starting to look older than them so much. We have to get a new one. Uh, it gets older and older with me, but we had a good one and they love doing stunts, man. It's so funny on movies. They just, I didn't realize so later they get paid per stunt. So,

If they look at the monitor and everyone goes, I liked it. You want to do it again? They go, yeah. And I go, oh, he wants to do it again. And the stuntman once said, the head of it goes, coordinator goes, he's never going to say no. He gets paid every time. So he'll break his neck. He doesn't care. He just has to keep doing it.

So I said, oh, let's not put them through it. But it's like bike wipeouts are falling off a cliff and you go, they love it. They're good at it. I don't know if they love it. Well, sometimes they love it. I was going to say, I don't know if they love it, but tough job. I had a guy tap out. I had a stunt guy had to go into a big barrel of ice cold goo, like submerged six feet under. So you couldn't see or hear every orifice was full. And he literally came up.

And he'd done other stunts. And then he kind of had a panic attack. So I was with Anthony Hopkins. So I had to go get in the goo. And that's where my childhood kicked in. I didn't like it, but fuck it. I'll just do it. You know, doesn't Anthony Hopkins do his own stunts? That's what I hear. Are you talking about Tony? Oh, gross. Anthony Hopkins and I. I call him Tone. Yeah.

Yeah, I called him Hoppy by the end, but it's not a competition. Listen, we bonded over our mutual crazy fathers. And then the last day of shooting, he goes, he kind of sounded like Rob Williams. He's so charismatic, just crazy.

bizarre in a chair. Oh, do you want to come in my trailer for lunch? So I'm like, yeah, that'd be great. But then a woman from entertainment tonight was there and says, well, you're scheduled to do this interview. And she started crying. So I cancel it. And then his assistant, it was the last day of shooting. She said,

That was the first time Tony ever invited someone into his trailer. And you fucked him over? But my Entertainment Tonight segment, apparently it was great. Oh, it was great. I'm going to look that up. Regrets, but... I loved Entertainment Tonight. I was such a... I remember when... Can you do the theme? Theme song? Jody Watley. Jody Watley. Oh, yeah. What's his name? Did the theme music do it? Tesh?

John Tesh. Yeah, John Tesh. That's right, John Tesh. He wrote the music. Hey, Chris Kattan, when you did Alien Gonzalez, would they let you do that again today, you think?

Whoops. Cancel. Well, ironically, I'm doing an Elian Gonzalez film. Are you doing a docu-series for Apple TV? Yes. Really? Can you even tell me a little bit of how he talked? We just want to see what the sensor... The algorithm will shut it down. The algorithm will shut it down. Well, picture some child talking softly.

Talking softly. That's it. And you did on the show. I think you did it right. Yeah, I did. And that's so funny. And then right now, I love that you brought that up. Well, I did Ching change. If they ever find that I'm done. No, because we were thinking that there's a lot of stuff where you do something in the show back then. Like I asked Timmy Meadows, could you play a woman now on the show? And he said, I don't know. So like, could you play a Mexican American on a show where,

And I don't know if they'd let you do that. Probably not. I did an Antonio Banderas and I don't think that was, I don't know if I could do Antonio Banderas now, but I,

I don't know. I do sometimes for fun if I'm doing stand-up. I love to do Al Pacino from Scarface. But the way I set it up, I go, I'm doing Al Pacino's really bizarre Cuban accent. Blame Al Pacino. Well, and I say it's one of my favorite performances, but it's so abstracted, you know? But still, I don't know.

I don't know when I might be cancelable, but, you know, I definitely am down to Western Europe, pretty much. Scandinavian accents. Right. But the rest of the world is off base. Australian, we can still do Australian. You could do a cowboy, can't you? Just a, what, I mean, just a cowboy? Like John Wayne or something? Yeah. Well, come on, Catan. Cowboy, I've limited...

I just love that you're still doing great impressions, even though you're not on SNL anymore. I mean, you know what I mean? Like, just like, you're so good at it, but you're still aware. And you're like, you're so good at impress. I used to like go out with this girl and she was like obsessed with you. And we were like, I then became obsessed with you because of your characters. It was like, what is he going to be in a cold opening? What's the cold opening? Is he going to be in a cold opening? You know, it was all like.

You know, and you had this, you know, you were doing cold openings for years, you know. I've seen him do standup. Actually, Dana, the guy that booked me at this thing this weekend, he goes, I booked Dana and Don Henley at that gig that I came to. Oh, yeah. And Dana kills. He does these private functions. Sometimes we all, I mean, Chris too, we all do these private things and no one sees him. Totally.

But Dana goes out there and does 18 different presidents and he does all these impressions and it fucking kills. And then I go up there and I go, hey, dogs are funny. And everyone's like, dogs? What is he talking about? They don't relate to me at all. Well, it's basically...

doing sketches as a standup. So when it works, it works, but in a big room. And if you have great jokes like Dennis Miller or you, they will carry over. I mean, Chris and I did one of the weirdest gigs in, in Laughlin, Nevada. And it was like breaking light in the afternoon with sun in your eyes. Oh, you guys, I love it. A giant 3000 seater with maybe a hundred people and wind. Yeah.

You know, and I'm going, this is just impossible. And I'm kind of doing these little characters, you know, and it's like, you know, but, but thank you, Chris. That's very nice. Yeah. Well, that's what was happening. It's not like me. It's like, that's what was going on in comedy. Hey, Chris, I have a question. It's not about your, that crummy gig you just did with Dana.

This is about, by the way, that's the gig I probably auditioned for and didn't get. You auditioned for standup? I auditioned for your guys' standup over there. David's new nickname is self-deprecate. It's a character. No, I did gigs this weekend. I don't know when this will air, probably in 2028, but I did a gig this weekend. And there's so many different types of corporate gigs that are so funny to do because most of them are hard.

most of them you do medium at best it's very hard to kill because you're usually going on in between the cordon bleu and oh yeah people are eating and clanking and they're almost you were you were they you feel like they were told right before do not connect eyes with the comedian always look away and talk about something else while he's on stage because you're on stage going out of your fucking mind they're like they're all chuffing in the background you go

It's so funny. But anyway, I did a gun. I did a gun show once. They all got these big stakes. It was in Reno. And now, ladies and gentlemen, the comedy shenanigans at Dana Florfo. And they just they just have the fork and knife. Their elbows are way out. Their backs are to me.

And they're just chowing down every once in a while. They would look over their neck and kind of nod a little bit. And you're like, why is this guy so noisy behind me? I did a show. It was like it was I don't know. He's in Colorado. And it was there was an elevation situation. So, you know, when people were drinking, that one drink is equivalent to like three drinks. So everybody was way. Oh, yeah. Awesome. They were just like there was one girl in the front row was like,

He's arguing with a boyfriend while I was on. Like, no, you don't. You tell him. I'm not going to say anything. How about you? No. Well, it was like, am I involved in something that I just how can I be involved in something that I'm not? I don't even know who you are. I was thinking that. But, you know, they're like, no, I'm not going to say you can't say anything.

And, um, but it gave me probably, you know, it gave me some material. By the way, did you do a commercial? Was it the what is love? Yeah. And that was a commercial with the Superbowl. It was a Superbowl. Those are nice. Yeah. That was fun. And it was other people doing it right to it. It was, yes, it was, uh,

Oh, God. What was her? Missy Elliott and somebody else. And then they said, oh, this is a really big budget. So they literally went to other countries to see people bop their head. Oh, that's good. Like that. Like people in Japan, you know, or penguins in Alaska were bopping their heads. It was like penguins are expensive. Like weeks to shoot. Did you can you still do it? Does it hurt your head?

No, I can do it. Where did that come from, Chris? That sketch and then movie with Will? We were in the Groundlings and Will worked at Butterfield and Butterfield. I remember that. I saw him there. And we were like joined at the hips like all the time. We would do like temp jobs. One time he was an elf. Oh, no, I was an elf and he was Santa. And we're like walking around. Really? All these things that seem like sketches. Yeah.

Pretty much. That's funny. We live like sketches. So this is the early 90s before you got on or late 80s, early 90s? No, it was like 94. So you guys were still not making a living being funny at that point. You had to do these... No, not at all. We were like making... It was like unemployment or whatever. Unemployment and whatever you got. But he met his wife at Butterfield and Butterfield actually, Vivica. So that's a good thing. So I met...

myself and whatever. Play with myself. I don't know. Anyway, so we went to a bar and we saw a guy at the bar alone and he was like just doing the thing to the... It was all... Like he's pointing at a girl, pointing back at himself, pointing at a girl. Yeah, he literally turned... He got a drink at the bar. He was like this and then he turned to...

you know, yes. To the dance floor. It was like, you know, do you want, you want me to dance? Yeah. Yeah. Do you want it? You don't, you don't. Okay. That's, that's fine. Whatever. So that was basically it. And we're like, God, that guy is so pathetic. You know what? It's very hard to take a funny scene like that, where, you know, it's funny and you got to figure out, I mean, you guys are sort of just doing that, but I've seen scenes in life that I go, that's so funny. And it's,

To transfer that into a sketch, you can fucking ruin it. You can do it wrong and you go, God, what did I do wrong here? Because I know it's good. I just am not adapting it perfectly for what it should be something. But you got the music right. You got the look right. It was a funny hook. The song was perfect. In the sketch, did they talk or no? On stage?

No, originally they weren't meant to talk. It was just music over it? Yeah. But they, just so how, how long were they, how long were those sketches then? You had no, no verbal comedy. It was all physical. Uh, well, we would go, when Jim Carrey came on and that was Fred Wolf's idea to add a third guy. Hey, David. Hey, Chris. Hey, Chris.

Fred Wolf. Fred just joined in. Hey, you're good. That's a good friend. You're good. That's good. You're not so good. No, that's funny. That's not so funny. He'd always walk around with a cigarette behind his ear, but he never smoked it. Hey, Chris, I don't smoke, but can I talk to you after? Chris, first of all, you're so good. It was so good. You're so fucking funny that

It's truly really funny. I'm not just saying this. I'm not just saying this. It's really funny. You were good. You're not so good. Anyway, no, it doesn't really matter. I tell Dana all the time. Dana's the funniest. I'm sorry. I told Dana he's the funniest. You're good. You're good.

Yeah, no, no, no. I'm not. Yeah, yeah. No, I got it. I got it. I got it. You would never do something in my movie. You would never. I mean, you're too busy. I would fucking. There's no way. And you don't know. Do you still know? It's like the greatest thing I've ever heard. It really is. It really is. I'm sorry. I just wanted to join in the party. I was thinking about the thing you said the other night. It's the funniest thing I've ever heard. Yeah.

That's funny. Do you care if I write that up? Can I write that up? It's the funniest thing I've ever seen. Funniest thing I've ever seen. All Fred will folks. No, I'm not just saying this. Lauren said it was the funniest thing he's ever seen. Not just saying that, you know, anyway, uh, Chris. So, so you, I remember one with Sherry or Terry getting smashed in the middle and what was Jim Carrey just doing it with you guys? That must've been a monster one. I think I remember that. I do remember that. Yeah. That was the kind of, that was the sketch that kind of, you know, took off. And I was listening to that kind of,

like techno music. I was, I don't know why I liked it, but Will was like, you take care of the songs because I don't know anything about that weird, strange kind of music. You're like, I just, all you need is one winner like that. That's one fucking song. It worked. Did you guys, so you did a commercial on it. Did you ever do, was there talk of a movie? Did you do a movie of that? You did Night at the Roxbury. No,

Night at the Roxbury. Absolutely. And that's why you decided how they would talk and how, how did they, I mean, just that we're kind of, we just sat in a, in a room in front of John Baldwin and we were like, he's like, so what do they sound like? Who, by the way, has a lot of energy. I think he still does. Probably. Probably. Yeah. And, uh, very sweet guy. And he's like, so what do they sound like? And we, well, and I were like, we don't, uh,

We're not ready for this. I know you're like, you could fuck it up because you could go, my guy sounds like this. And everyone's like, oh, yeah. Well, anyway, what are we doing? Yeah. No, I thought there would be sort of Eastern European for some reason. We know that that was later. We were like, do we decide? We have to decide because we're writing a script now. Like, where are they from? We don't know anything. And somebody said, like, they're from, you know, the Brooklyn or like, no, they're from Beverly Hills.

And now they're Eastern European, you know, and Steve Korn was the writer, too, as well. Will and I and Steve Korn would write it. But when we sat in front of Golden, we're like, what do we say? So we went.

what's up? And he, and Will went, what's up? And Bowen was like, I love it. So that was it. I love it. Print it. Lunch. So Korn wrote the movie with you and Will? Uh, yeah, we would be at the four seasons while we were doing, Lauren gave us a room at the four seasons to write after we wrote sketches at SNL. Oh. Uh, so we wrote the script while doing the show, which probably happened as well. And then you go to the four seasons in New York?

This was in New York. And then when we had a week off, we'd go to Paramount and we'd go in Lauren's office. And your old friend Erin was there and she'd like just say, okay, she'd open up the place and we'd go right to the film. And Lauren's like, I'm over here now. You saw me in New York, now I'm in LA.

Yeah, but he his office used to be it was like when he got that office at Paramount or got it again because he did Black Sheep with you and he did Tommy Boy and then Wayne's World with you, Dana. And then he would refer to those all the time, obviously, because that was his Paramount stuff. And they did so well. People loved it. But we got that office in.

He would, it used to be Crocodile Dundee's office. So they were taking off the Crocodile Dundee posters and putting up the Lorne movies, like Coneheads and Three Amigos. That's not a noise. Crocodile Dundee is down. Lorne's got some hits over there. Shit. Yeah. Oh, of course. This year, Dell Technologies' back-to-school event is delivering impressive tech with an inspiring purpose.

What was the great one with your brain when the dog was here? He smells my dog. Massive head wound, Harry. Yes, my God. What a great fucking head wound. I wish we'd show a clip of that. That was the dog. You know, I was just writing great writing. I was just walking through. But the dog.

they put, I guess it was like Gerber's baby food or something on this prosthetic skull. I had to make them lick it. Right. They put a little bit at dress. He went when he was pulling it. I know. And I had a, I had a Lucille ball moment where it's like, okay, do I hold the wig on or do I let the wig go off? But I just thought, ah, the sketch is going so good. I'll hold the wig on. So it won't become about that. Maybe it was the bad choice, but, but,

when a dog goes crazy, the audience goes crazy. And you go, he smells my dog or something. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, he says he smells my dog. And, but he was literally pulling the thing off. Yeah. And that's what was so genius about it. Like it was such a struggle. Yeah.

yeah that dog oh yeah no we fought it out he wanted that that that rubber head of mine so Dana you're saying a dress they put a little and then they fucking overdid on the air and it went chaos the dog went crazy dog went dog so funny that's a genius who put that on there did you guys ever have a sketch with an animal uh during your time there I I don't remember I don't remember I think I had a there was a real monkey in a

Mr. Peeper's thing, but we didn't touch it. Was that the same monkey that Mike used for Sprockets? They just had one monkey that they... Yeah, that was the one. It was under Lorne's desk, ready to go anytime. Oh, Sprockets monkey just waiting at the station for the call in his dressing room? Yeah, exactly. What about... Oh, you did Dancing with the Stars too. Was it too hard? I've thought about that show and I go, I would collapse so quickly. Yeah, that's a good thing to bring up.

Let's dance with the stars. Yeah. So I was on dance with the stars and yeah, it was, it's amazing how much those dancers are like, they were so trained. I mean, yeah. They're so good. They're so good. And they're so motivated and they give you like caveats. Like you get more money if you stay a week or you get,

Or they get more money. Something because, and they want you to have followers. You want people to call in. So those kinds of shows incorporate everything that helps them. And it's actually helps you too. But those shows seem so hard because just regular, I think the training they're so tough about, they do not want you. It's an all day event. They're just like, the more you train, the better you're going to win. You're like, I know, but I'm fucking lazy. I don't want to do this all day.

Yeah, I wasn't lazy. I was in it, but it was just hard. And they were like, make me do moves that I'm like, I don't know how to do that. And I was kind of like, can you maybe like a situation? So it's like more about not more about like easier for me. So I could just do a couple moves. Yeah, they trick it to where they look like you're doing a lot, but you're really not doing that much, hopefully.

Yeah. It's like, I can't spin like that. And like, there's like Simone Biles is like doing these incredible moves and she's like a gymnast. I'm like, I can't compete for that. You know, she was on your same one. I would, I would just quit. Yeah. Yeah. It's over. She was incredible. It was like the background had fire going on. I'm like, mine has like little, little snow. Sparklers. Yeah.

We should do a show sketch comedy with the dancers and bring them out and go, come on, hit that line. No, slow down. Yeah. You're mugging. You're mugging. Just a spray tan budget. I mean, it is fun to show to watch. Everyone gets to know everyone's good looking. All the guys, all the girls. It's.

but it's turned into such a biz over there. Everything about it. Yeah, it was very, I did learn a lot about followers. I remember cause I was with Whitney Carson. She's like, you gotta go, you gotta get these followers here. I'm like, Oh, is that what's going on? I did not know that was an important thing. I learned a lot about Vicodin. Yeah.

I mean, when you get sore, I get sore just going to the mailbox. So I go up time for a Vicodin. I wouldn't do it, but I just picked up a kettlebell. Oh, you just have a little Tito's neat and a Vicodin. It's 10 a.m. No one cares that it's a morning thing just to take the edge off. No, a little daiko. I was taking gabapentin was the thing that they gave me. Oh, yes. Never even heard of that one. Oh, Spade, you got it.

That's because it's not narcotic and that's the stuff that loosens. Oh, forget it then. Technical or scientific, but that helps. Yeah. Text me off the air with the pill emoticon. Put that all the way across. That'll get my attention.

I'll take a photograph of a pill and text you. I go to pill identifier. It's like my number one Google thing. I'm like, Hey, I just found this on the carpet. Um, should I take it? It says one, one, nine. Yeah. They're like, that's a tick tack. It's got like a little horse on it. Yeah. It seems like it's within the last couple of years. It should be fine. Yeah.

What do you mean it's acid? Just take it. How about you take it and we figure out what it is. All right. Yeah, that's a good, Oh, I love being a guinea pig. That'd be so fun. Oh yeah. It's great to be the guinea pig. Yeah. Dana, where are you? Are you up North? Southern California. You are. Oh, I did a thing, a comedy thing. And the guy was like, I got to go to this club because your son is running it. Three wheel. Yeah.

He's a part owner and it's like a 70s cedar. I'm actually going to play it. Yeah. That's really cool. Can you fill 70? I don't know if I could fill 70 because it's, you know, it's the younger audience and you go up and you're kind of the Craigie old guy, you know. Everybody.

What's going on, TikTok? I remember when Milton Berle visited San Francisco, I was doing stand-up. And Milton is here. You know, he's like 82, but he wants to be one of the fellas. I'm like 24. But I always loved older comedians. I always, you know, thought they were the coolest. Don Rickles. You do stand-up around local clubs and stuff?

I, you know, sometimes I'll go do like, I did the improv last week or I'll do the comedy store or something, but I haven't done that in a little while, but I'll, I'll do that. I like going out. Like I, I was out with the last weekend or two days ago with Lovitz and Tim Meadows. And we did a show. Yeah. And, uh, that's fun to do that kind of a thing, you know? And what's your first laugh when you go on stage, ladies and gentlemen, Chris Kattan. Oh, good question. Uh, when I say what everybody says, good night, everybody. Yeah.

You just, you just have to do something. Everybody does that job. No. Good night, everybody. Well, thank you. Katan. It's good to chat with you, bud. Yeah, man. It's great talking to you too. And Dan, it's a pleasure. Really nice. Nice to see you, Chris. You're so, you're so lovely, likable and friendly. I, I, is this show good? Like, this will never air. No, it won't be on anything. It'll never air. It'll be out at a certain time soon. We're just, you know, and, uh,

You know, we're just, I'm just in my room and I'm getting to see people that I've had different kinds of interactions with throughout the year. Yeah. Well, I think it's a great idea. When I heard that you guys were doing a show together, I was like, oh shit, that's amazing. So thank you so much for having me on. I can't tell you how excited I am. It's fun. And thank you for...

being a sport. Thanks, guys. And Dana, I guess I'll run into you down the line. Yeah, you're still doing stand-up and stuff? Yeah, yeah. I'll see you. Go stretch yourself out. We'll go to Koi. All right, bye, guys. Koi. Yeah, Koi. Blue ribbon. Have a good day, Chris. Enjoyed it. Bye, guys. Bye.
