What its about from the notes that. Tell the folks what the movies about well its about the 2007 to 2008 ish m. B. A gambling scandal tim dunn he was a ref was a ref because he did some inside gambling with a couple of his buddies that he sort of knew from way back when i play one of those guys was a bookie and basically its the behind the scenes of of their lives of them trying to pull this off thinking that they would get away with it theres a lot of snapping birder phones all of breaking bad so its that sort of thing in they did not get away with it whoops its not much of a spoiler because you can read about it but it was was done ahead. He went on he donaghy i think they called was he just trying to get fat and happy offer this or it had had he been leveraged by. The guys you play he well he tim will say that he was sick leveraged its a good word for it and. You know im. Look there was a lot of there was some involvement with organized crime and once you know the money starts getting big and they start running those numbers theres people who want their hands on it and certainly the guy that i play james but he is a bookie he knew this new thing inside now. You know its detailed in the film but he went out there and he has these connections and so done he was i believe i mean i believe it was equal parts him you know wanting to do it in there of course theres some greed involved when youre doing Something Like that but past a certain point it would have been unwise for him to back out im sure he felt so so horribly research that great jimmy caan film to ever see the gambler from years ago oh youve got to go watch it now that youve been in this place i think hes a columbia professor named axel freed and he gets in over his head and he starts getting leverage and its jimmy caan right at the peak of his powers hes so freakin good in this movie to give it a watch its called the gambler now this sounds like im trying to think is your is your guy. Strictly drama this is your guy have a funny side mr no no no but there is some like i mean you just kind of cant not laugh at some of the things but yeah i know its a drama its a drama but you had definitely actually scott wolf who doesnt amazing job as. You know hes the inbetween guy in the air but eric maybe is plays plays tim donaghy and scott actually playing Tommy Martino is a real guy whos been around us through all the push in the film and stuff its amazing to be around these real guys and. Scott wolf just cracked me up. Because the character its kind of like. I would say. Its a good thing. You know wrong so theres some stuff that would be now but its not dismemberment in the trunk goodfellas you know theres actually no no theres theres no trying to think theres any bloody appendages or anything you know and James Battista the fellow that i play we did have a conversation late in the making of this film so i was already done with my actor stuff like ok i think i think im sounding like him and watching all the things and im like marty doing it then he gets in touch with me because he hears its your its going all right so you want to talk to me and it was kind of like. I dont believe. I have to think as tim but i think youre going to screw that not youre not going to get in trouble say any of this stuff but there was a little bit of a concern that it wasnt too over the top but i think i found out from him that it was nice it was that on the level thing as far as the violence goes. Listen i know when i was on s n l early on i remember thinking i should just do than the because im in the sketches im going to be the 4th or 5th guy because phil is a killer dane is a killer mcguires is a killer im going to be the bartender pushing the gimlet in and i got to block it for 4 hours so i stayed out of it literally but as i watch their chops over the years. For you acting now think like mad t. V. Is just Perfect Place to incubus isnt a Perfect Place to grow yeah i mean its the most its so much fun and thats what i always dug growing up in the stuff that i watched and satellite live being one of those shows i was always blown away by how much i kind of feel like i was on the opposite side of like oh look they get to do a bunch a little different and that wasnt my thing but most of those guys feel used to say im a pig and slump this is perfect the enemy is a lot of fun although i should give credit where credits to i was literally and before this book so i want you to know that this was a natural thing i was just telling. I got to and i couldnt find it on you tube but i got to back and find it was a sketch that you were in where it was just part was the guest you were sitting around and still in a some wax story about like you know for the Black Mountains and blah blah blah and i was like Dennis Miller is the only guy who would like who would find moments in that everyone was just sort of playing off or its like well then we would just play guitar and entertain each other and youd like turn right and camera with yeah it occasionally give me that if somebody had to be like the pissy greek chorus i would play and i remember when we did aliens reshoot i played the lead cedrics and character who was ripped in half by the alias area and i had the white suit out of me and they had me in a box. And everybody else was acting there because and they would just pull the blocks man hey somebody in a gym and yeah it was like no matter where you put me im doing the same attitude that i did on the news and theyre not in a hurry to get you out of all that make up 2 more segment until update so. You know its funny when you we were just talking to cheryl hines from curb your enthusiasm she was on the guest before you you did curb did you i did i did man i did i did curb which was a gas of course Everyone Wants to go into it but i always say that the most fun thing for me was auditioning for 3 times and not getting it because that thats the real fun when youre like is that larry just larry or somebody you know and larry jeff garlin sitting there cheryl hines is sitting there theyre all producers and if theyre going to come in on a day and couple times they were theyre wonderful lovely audience and what were they looking at you for the 1st time i was already in and they didnt even know you obs i was too i remember i was auditioning for a bit it was an exterminator kevin farley ended up doing it i remember because i love the show and and he did a great job and basically hes overhearing that theres a High School Production of grease while hes exterminating in the house and he loves grease and he wants to go and then he stomps on a rat the show and you know but yeah i just remember doing it and doing it for larry and its just you and larry david and i had never met him and i was like a little. Terrible hes look at you know you do it and then lovely man im just saying and ive worked with him since some of these are images and scare and you know and he goes you do it and its going to stop you. You know you really want to go you really want to go to greece yes or you really want to go ok ok try to completely honestly like to know what i overheard grease and do it again on a level then you stop again. You really want to go and im like yeah yeah yeah and im like oh my god is he doing this on purpose and jeff garlin like hes doing it for my family dont want to write a sketch yet here we are in the show getting to your exit and youre aware of it youre like is he is this you know and then you dont get it and youre like ok well that was fun it wasnt a bit i really just suck. But yeah and you go there and then by the way the room the waiting room is a bunch of people who are like hello hello hello like i know i love you from that i love you from this or theres a friend and so murders wrote because everybody wants to be in that group with so yeah its almost more fun to just go there and get by larry. But its like meat recalls the 1st time i want to. Do that i need to go to. You as i go through here i see how many credits you have you must to master the auditioning process at some point but killing things for years i still suck at it i really dont like it you know i dont know i dont know of an actor who does i dont really exhibiting something in there because you get the hunger either and i dont write i appreciate it i prepare in the car on my way there and sometimes youre just the guy and thats what im hoping for because im just again preparing in the car theres a lot of good apps you can live with a player line an actors life is quite boring. But yet somehow they figured out that i had you know nobody has figured out that i dont have any. You know real long lasting talent but its fine you can just go and get around town for a few such as selfeffacing canadian bugs kick the can in thing you know well listen i married a canadian girl so you know im fond of the country you know what i love about it is i make so many comedic geniuses who come out of their i think of ackroyd right away and you know the lord and theyre all sort of selfeffacing in a weird way or marty short isnt just a brilliant i think that its they dont like it if you step beyond yourself like they like you to self humble yourself or something its a its a thing its a comedian thing you have to were just socialized to keep it yes keep it play close to the vest and just you know keep it its an interesting thing its interesting its and i have a i have a connection with the place and im from im there a lot and you know when youve got your old pals and the folks that its like a village doesnt matter where i go yeah they dont want to know that and theyre happy that you came back yeah i dont want you to come back change youre going to go what are you kidding yes your home we know they yeah and they dont want to hear a whole lot about whats going on down here unless they want to talk about. Which is that the president of the United States another they. Everybody wants to talk about if youre mad t. V. Im trying to think who was the guru over there we had lorna that sent out and im telling you at the beginning i was so intimidated by the lauren i often couldnt really isolate what his particular genius was and then i realized it was such a. It was such an literate recondite sense of salon that he had he was very good at putting together it was almost like cocktail parties that were being filmed on the area at great notes who was the guru over at med t. V. To just have one well i think its. Its a great thing about mad t. V. But one of the things that separates from s n l no guru really we dont need that well just kind of hang out on the air on fox because its cheaper than tales from the christening as a was everybody pulling their own or in the yeah yeah it was it was nice in a way and then theres theres things that theyre look we had great producers and im not saying you know but the but the producers were all people that there were incredible writers on the show and sort of rose up to to run the show of course at atom small in fact barr who were formerly writer producers at the old in living color they put the package together to do the show which was sort of a lot like it was ran the same way as in living color and they basically took Keenan Ivory Wayans blueprint and structure. You know they came back in 2016 i think celebrate 20 years they did they were they reboot the show at that point i cant imagine they must have felt like it might as well be a different planet just from the beginning of this century so right now comedically it is a minefield yeah you couldnt do it they and im saying this with love and respect to the show the new cast who were all home run hitters all of them were great a lot of the writers came back to new writers were fantastic i dont know how the hell they would do it 1st of all they were not on fox or on a Different Network during the week at around 10 pm she didnt get away with anything anything and then it happens to be 2016 no you cant i mean it was it was rough it was a rough summer they just did a few in the summer some of us came back but we were used to the ninetys in the early thousands or whatever when you could really they not only did they did the network let us play back then. You could do i mean she just i was trying to think of sam kennison walking off the ship. Like they would be looking through the sixes behind his ear for gods sakes and it was one of the bloodiest dunes ive ever met i often think. What in gods name would he make of it and what would they make of him today a different planet a after the break will sasso returns were going to answer some rapid fire questions its our rorschach test to get a glimpse of what makes him tick the delightful will set so stick with us right after this.

Hey welcome back to Dennis Miller plus one my guest is will sasso good cat funny guy mr sas so i was wondering who who are who are you digging at there comedically i know youre not a stand up yourself but as somebody who was somebody who you like. I mean yeah ill try to. I mean i kind of watch the stuff that. If someone makes enough noise ill go get a why are enough friends going oh no really watch this but then i dont really have anything i mean so i kind of feel like i watch john mcclane these new things i love that hes a great and hes fantastic. Killer do you know sebastian oh ive never seen any of this here lays well yeah stone killer ok i mean reagan and man a scallop. The then john johnson good but yeah those 2 sebastian minuscule possibly the killer comic on the planet yet yeah plus he put together 6 or 7 specials in the space 2 years and im telling a number 6 in never going to be as good as one or 2 but its in the ballpark is a comedian i just sit there go wow god bless your brother but youve got to watch it i know its a quirky name m a n i c a l c e o hes hes graduated to where hes just known by one name among comedians list so check him out without 4 nights at the guard 4 consecutive nights of medicine thats were very its 80000 seats for had its say lets look at the popes and sound. So i should say i love i love reagan and i work on a show with him that hes been able to do with you know whats going on a lot of what about lot of yeah and whats whats the play when people see what brian regan is doing you know the shows on Audience Network which now doesnt it doesnt want to have more than able to find out i dont know i think the show is going to have to find a new home but we just finished shooting the 3rd season in the summer hasnt aired yet when people who were brought in reagan is doing i mean of course hes hilarious and Pete Farrelly you know loved brian regan and wanted him in this show is that who the preamp and bob are disassembly of the directors no no pete pete strict oh you know and then and then bob bob fairly also but brian is so on real and and other people macassar like i dont even want to know where hes pulling this from because theyre. Some look ive course we could talk for 5 days about how you know comedians have something down there thats yeah but hes got some chops really something i want to ask of these russia in a 2nd but im doing a podcast though i find it cathartic i love the idea of a 10 minute podcast is yeah you do it for 6 years you mustve been in the ball well i would just like to bail out just grew tired of it well you know its interesting i did that i did that podcast with a couple of buddy buddies of mine who are comedians crystal ian bryan so its a cab its easy we had a blast and were buddies and we did it and then you know we all got busy we were i mean its like back when podcasting was where were just doing it at my house and then you know theyre busy guys and were still good buddies and were talking about doing another one again like that but yeah just then i ended up doing it with a couple of writer producer pals of mine Tommy Blodget and chad culture and we did that for like 3 years so the whole thing went for like 6 years and and now theres like a podcast thing happening now and im going to get 3 comics together you cant say hi and 10 minutes of them mustve been easiest lifting you did to some degree it was it was fun for that reason and also because the 3 of us are actually friends we could we know where each others line is so we could literally for hundreds of episodes just get ruthless when each other right up on it yeah and then right away you know theres 10 minutes is going to be about this and you know a lot of times im just which is the best yeah right were going to play the right shot quick glimpse quick answers quick question someone or something that inspires you. I mean its funny laughter itself yeah i think the further i go in show business or whatever youre doing comedy stuff its shocking to me that something that will still make me laugh can make me passionate and keep me going and really nothing else gets a good grade to chase and you know i always thought boy that i did i get blessed with the mother lode your comedy is the thing i can do ok yeah this is what a gift that is and its a great. And i think it feeds it feeds comedy how people like just laugh at what you laugh at and especially now where its like everyones looking around going can i say i kind of feel like its the responsibility of funny people to let it fly and to me when i hear something or you know come up with some or whatever thats really funny that just gets me excited yeah guilty pleasure. I grew up watching wrestling and love wrestling and now ive got to know whats going on with wrestling all the time even if i dont watch wrestling i might have to listen to a podcast about wrestling or read some crap online about what these guys are doing in wrestling and its nuts and thats why i was ringside at jerry jones a stadium 100000 people. Why am i blanking on the head guy Vince Mcmahon son came off the top of the kid and will remember the yes oh you are just the i was here and pokes im telling you i know its not real i know what it is its a bit like opera in a way as there is a villain and its not you have see its not a boxing but in a way it has its own charm and im telling you some of the things that jericho and those guys do you just look at he says this is like watching a violent. Big big top circus act or something there the pain is real now you know and its like Vince Mcmahon 4647 years old timers 30 think the onto a cough or. Like a poker table salute im just there to see if theyre not its their nuts and if they dont do it every day i would imagine theyre its like Football Players their bodies start to calcify and then they cant do it again so these guys are Shane Mcmahon whos basically should just be run the numbers and backing up in coupons made cable deals in china instead hes anyway yeah stranded on a Deserted Island what 3 things do you bring with you will sasso. Man. Im going to bring shovel and i was thinking clean water but ill dig a well yeah. What else would i like to bring and maybe. Cassette player so you have some music and nice to see that youre up on the latest technology. Spring a reel to reel now and then just a weird al tape may be good to. The other than that it looks like he was being interviewed on some show in black and white and he looked good he was always a sweet soul used to hang out with Victoria Jackson i knew him way of all that it was a lovely guy show your something still on your bucket list you got a place you are and i venture you want to do on the bucket list. Traveler you dig that and i suck at traveling and my my heritage is the tally and maybe i should go to italy not now because i just saw my my uncle vincenz oh make it a state talking in italian on facebook with a mask on of course they got you know things are happening there so things you dont need to see the pope in a scuba help.

Favorite show youre bingeing right now oh you were talking yeah a little wrestling well yeah but you know a show that we just started watching too which is fantastic and i missed it the 1st time around was in the light and laura dern in this mike white who created it is in the show man its really cool yes really give it a look favorite food you like to binge on while bingeing on enlighten. I have been into soups lately yeah it was flu season and ive been making turkey its the easiest thing in the world you guys just a few vegetables would you like and just dump it in there and let it cook that or also did some good split peas in the in the in the in the crockpot. Growed up and eat unhealthy beautiful i think you can say butter tarrants or something coming can and get yourself a smoked pork shank leave it in the in the in this little cooker with the peas i was in an improv troupe.

Luxury i cannot live well air conditioning on a big there thats moved beyond luxury out here to work out 6 and up like Alec Guinness and bridge on the river kwai in the sweat box something someone from history would like to take to lunch. Man i blank on that stuff but now that you mention it i would like to get into Lorne Michaels had to figure out a few things that would be good yeah be an interesting lunch lines a super smart guy that it would be great you know if it was only since i get to see lauren once in a while now since im out from under his tutelage i can have a normal adult with them but i like that hes like he freaked out its like the monolith in 2001 you know youre brought up in the elevator with him and you think. If you can put on that show for your. Sake i. See that would be the lunch too i wouldnt even say i dont know just sit there hope that hes super interesting stories split pea soup and leave and lastly well see those idea of a perfect day perfect day. What time it will once it start when we get up on a perfect day i think im getting up around 930 but i get up around 11. Go outside the air smell sweet beautiful happens in canada happens here in l. A. Sometimes. And then. Just watch wrestling until i can split the suit going to sleep. Lets look like. Its funny all right social Media Questions we put up that you were coming on in your fans came to the fore brian newton on facebook how much prep did he put into playing the legendary stooge curly oh a lot you know you look great in that cheers and tears it was its a lot of fun and its like you know. Again its speaking of a perfect day youre sitting around watching the stooges and thats your work for the day so the yeah there was a lot of there was once i knew i was doing it i was just watching a watch and watching it and then it did start to turn into preparation yeah but yeah should i use the law hammer of the ball peen hammer whats the best is it funnier if i go with the clock and then. Im sure and think you must of done so Much Research on them was mowen fact the despotic leader was a benevolent leader im trying to think who was the easy going on was it Larry Connelly i think i think larry was the easiest going yeah moe was essentially their manager handled all the money and stuff so i think he was a pretty sweet guy i also loved his brother curly yeah he was the most was most seems like he was a really really good guy larry seems extremely laid back and i would imagine. The table set to be laid back to on and off i remember that hurley versus joe besser sham powered was the twilight werewolf or vampire of its day you had to pick one of those 2 camps to be joe it a hue it on facebook who is his favorite mad t. V. Character that you did oh my favorite i remember he did something that was a corollary to balancing like i had made a couple good. Paul timmermans. That was just from that was just from speaking of accurate that was just basically a way for me to do the julia child where its like i remember watching that as a kid and what i always loved the batters oh i seem to have got the dickens out of my head. And they did also that rhythm stuck in your totally and the monte python did a sketch called salad days where its like anyone for tennis and he throws it. And then the guy on the piano is but just nonplussed that hes a failure now hes the extent of the python sketch it went through him like great gatsby law yeah its too yeah completely shattered so it was just everyone sitting around and stripes. And then one guy said everyone and a ball gets thrown hits like michael pale in the face he starts hemorrhaging blood like this old school with the and then everyone just gets taken apart and thats it and i go back if i have that thanks to my guests for joining me today check out his new film about the.
