Orange is the new black and the h. B. O. Series crashing but this is what i just saw her and she killed me you know when when my wife and i would watch mike myers or anybody who truly could make us laugh or Ben Stiller Owen Wilson when theyre in zoom lens or together i said what makes you laugh the most i mean shes there when Somebody Just doesnt care how far out theyre going to push it and its as were watching the raw grizzly it was the same eerie i just thought this girl is going to push this as far as a can go made me loud uproariously thank you foam i had since then i think here it was so funny when they really let me they set me free so it was a good time and you know i was thinking about great show business gay eggs i mean as if its not enough fun to do that movie i assume i mean theyre still early hours and that being in hawaii seems like a bit of a gas right. And you got to or seasons and i mean it was it wasnt it was a fun time for sure. For those of you dont know the conceit well well why should i spoil it its a its a mixed identity thing i wanted to explain to the people who get to see it a little bit of what the premise of the film. Yes so the premise of the movie is that david spade plays a single man who is looking always looking for a new woman basically and he is he needs 2 women who are both named missy one is a beautiful supermodel played by molly sams and shes a Perfect Match for ham and the other one is me and im like an insane woman who says and does all the wrong things and he wants me to go away forever and he acts 9 text me to go on his corporate retrieve to be you know date for the weekend and i just show up and ruin everything. You know an old row romantic comedies like on t. C. M. And that the premise was always that they the couple met cute they would always say and that would be you guys met cute actually twice in this movie the initial role in a bar and then act 2 when he gets the texting thing confuse i i thought the director did a great job i really a many times to get 15 laugh out loud sort of over you know i mean thats what im looking for a comedy people talk about dark comedy or black comedy or the magic thoughtful comedy i just want to laugh my ass off but thats what this film is making me do thank you i feel like thats something that we dont get enough of these days and so its really its so fun just to get to do something that is just plain silly and a good time and i mean i just got to spend you know a few weeks trying to make david laugh which was a blast is a dream come true for me so it was truly just a great time. You know when adam does these and adam sandler i guess is has a deal at netflix and he makes these films and theyre always their most watched things because adam has branded himself at this point as somebody whos going to deliver laughs whether hes in it or whether hes behind it and when some of the regular team shows by the Rob Schneider was absolutely to stick it. In the film was the vote chart what a demented scene. Yeah hes great and he had to have that fake hand over his fingers or messing and it was just this like mound of fake slash that he was constantly struggling with all day very hes great hes a super funny guy. You know laura i know that a lot of people of your generation and youre youngish and schneider and spirit know old men but i was wondering who were you fans of theirs way back when when they were on s n l and is it weird to show up and see with 2 people that used to watch it but my gosh though im out there with them and breaking them up. Its so surreal i truly i loved s n l growing up in that era was my favorite and so to be able to work with them i mean david is someone ive been talking to my entire life as one of my favorite comedians so the reason admission for the movie was because he had signed on to do it already i truly was like oh i dont know this is but i want to meet david states so i auditioned and it was so surreal i mean it was very weird to be doing scenes with someone that youve been mired for a long time and hes so down to earth so i was really relieved because you really never know when youre meeting someone that you know youve watched for a long time and what theyre going to be like if theyre going to be as cool as they seem on t. V. Or what but yeah and meeting adam and getting to work with him i did like i did a really small role in a movie he did a few years ago called blended and that alone was super exciting for me i got to meet him and. I remember every minute of it and then getting to come back around and work with them again and see him again and work with his wife jackie who is so sweden wonderful and surely its like its so crazy yet shes awesome. I didnt even know ill be honest that adams life and to the end when i start tearing open those i said wow shes got killer child she was really going to ask yeah yeah i remember when i 1st met spade and schneider and they hung out with an actor named Charlie Schlosser who is on a medical drama with Dick Van Dyke they were all around 56 and i remember i was eating at jerrys famous deli in the valley and some of the comedian i think was rickover 10 but those 3 along and they come in theyre all like small theyre all diminutive theyre all wise as i said this is like a sardonic 3 musketeers before you. This is the funniest little choice of god so then what i was at s n l lorne sort of you heard many of these guys i said i cant speak to their actual are but i had breakfast with these guys one or. The hardest ive left at ages next thing i know theyre populating the office back there and like you said to find out that theyve had such a downed earth guy you know when i 1st met him i thought my god hes just hammering the i need it so i need to catch your breath here but hes going to ask harts was in a yeah he does he does hes just a really good guy him and so funny and just always i mean hes so funny even when hes not trying to be and i just love people like not just like i meet that humor all the time. Hes just really great yeah i would anyone like that for you that you got to work with who you had admired when you were coming up. Well i 1st met billy murray and i didnt get the oh i know as i was almost a weekend update all of a sudden it was oscar season and bill murray was sitting next to me at that was doing the oscar thing which one i was and you know just out there in that the ask for a watch you get i think thats the coolest funniest cat on the planet earth and it said best supporting actor and he just flipped them all off the magnetic board so who cares and the thing the next we are i dont remember a thing and a mother i must the somebody slipped me pay o. T. Or something. So the genic that im with this guy right. Now i happen to know that when people say to me whos who makes you laugh theres a lot of communities reg me laugh but im talking about right off your side in your ear under his breath with the low rumble spade can just wipe me out and im trying to think of the shoot you guys must just how. Did we really did and i im so grateful that this role was so you know open for me to comic in my own because i think i sometimes can feel like you know intimidated by people like him or im like oh i dont think to myself i can really like bring my seamer to this in the way that i you know when i have roles that are more buttoned up its harder for me to show what i do and who i am because my personality is a little more show and so being able to have a role like that i feel like i was able to show him right off the bat like this is my humor im im like this and i can be myself around you and so it was a really an easy camaraderie right off the bat you know we had a good report so i was really really happy for that because it can be a lot when youre working with someone for a long time and you feel like they dont get to know who you really are you know. And i can guarantee a spade he was always smart about like he split s s n l i remember theyd offer him a kid sitcoms id say you should take it hes on i want to be the guy in the middle the guy in the middle always gets killed off the bat so you goes over to the show or george to go and im not sorry im just blank you know yes to me and yeah there is should be is nibbling on the fringes it comes in like a tease to coming down from the hills in cuba to do a couple kill shots and then hes back off the screen again he was always smart about wanting to be with other players and the 1st day when you were kill it you mustve thought beautiful by next 2 months or maybe you know yeah we did have that conversation and he was relieved that i could you know be funny because you never know where youre going to get when you get cast in people and its true i mean i think ive had parts in the past where i just dont i dont get to have that moment you know you kind of have to just play along and have a little thing here and there and hope you know kind of just play in the background and its just so cool to get it out alongside damon and have a kind of tommy boy moment with from my childhood self its very cool were talking to lauren lapis in the film is on netflix folks its the its the the wrong missy and im telling you i know things are weird on there right now everybodys stuck in a Holding Pattern so that everything frees up but i said to my wife this is going to turn this girl into the spade in the next movie should be the person they tent pole the film off of because you know theres a lot of people who could act as an intermediary media area and comedy but a big movies some point need somebody to come in and bang the gong and hit it and boy you had some money money shot you know kill shots in this movie it was really. It was a star making performance a good for you you must be excited what a good spectator and you know yes i did so nice of us and that means a lot i truly very bizarre to have this happen during. Quarantined when can even go anywhere you know i got to be on a billboard and had to go out and see it in a mask and nobody saw it so super super weird to just have this kind of moment while you know not even being able to go out for a drink to celebrate so hopefully ill get some jobs after this i hope i hope there is work to. Believe me this is a hold over through the corner and if somebody really wanted to promote a film they would or would not the 1st day of corn to tour torn a hole in the back of a billboard put a mask on your very own the billboard had a friend in the world. Saying im trying to do my don draper. Tell me about orange is the new black is indeed in that you in more of a just shoot me ensemble but it must have given you competence right it was such a big hit yeah that was it was really really exciting that was you know 2000 maybe 13 that i got cast not show and it was really exciting because netflix didnt have any shows at that time so i was one of the 1st ones that was being made and i didnt really know what i was auditioning for but it ended up being such a huge hit and it was so it was such a wild experience to be a part of this amazingly you know stacked cast and theres like 70 main members in the cast so you know i kind of expected to blend into the crowd but people really binge that show and they got very invested in all the characters and right away just walking down the street in Different Countries people would recognize me from that and so i was that was really surreal. Its a weird feel like i remember when kanye came out for trump i said i betcha they do an episode called black is the new warrants but not the from the right thats a great story and. It would have been a nice efforts were talking to her and as i said i just glimpsed her in the wrong to see her unspayed like stare at rogers with with the laughs absolutely killed it and when we come back well talk about where she starts i think shes than indiana illinois girl and well find out how you go from there to netflix and all places in between with lauren lot since right after this on Dennis Miller plus one. The rest in charge. That youre free and. What about the trying to get into specific indictments what kind of things can be expected is a deal in the cards we just its fisa. So we were sisters in terms hes. Going to be no increase in the. Number you. Know him of those he just comes up with if theyre going to nuke you know that of. Antarctica is a very International Community it. Can be used to the track and leave it to. You this is the start of the. Resolution some of the. Mr newkirk of brazil so their Nuclear Cooperation in antarctica is everything because he was deluded live in front of t. V. With the above the. 5 ahead level the fact that all day father decided not to take his place. With my god and tell you that. The world is driven by a dream shaped by our own person. Who dares thinks. We dare to ask. Hey folks welcome back to Dennis Miller plus one and we are joined today by the delightful lauren let the film you want to see on netflix is called the wrong missy of course know her from orange is the new black 2 and you start in evanston illinois and im telling you with your within a stones throw that point of the tigris and euphrates of improv and 2nd city with del close and all those guys plus the poets there when did you get the bite early on the digital aspire to those guys or tell me your story i get it i did it when i was in high school i went on to sion for every single play and only get into the sketch show every year and my teacher at the time recommended that i speak improv classes that in problem pick and that was life changing for me that was really where it all started so i when i was a senior in high school i started taking the adult level classes with like people in their twentys which felt really crazy to me and i started learning how to do improv and ive been doing it ever since long time probably for the last 15 years or whatever so its been that was like that was the whole deal where i was so grateful that i grew up in evanston because i could take the train for 30 minutes in the city and be watching some of the most amazing performers any night of the week it was so cool. I remember when i 1st got hired at s n l lorne used to take us over to this rehearsal space in times square and hed ask us to improv and id say dont larn i write jokes and ill be the news guy i can improv but some of those cats fell into fury list behavior so easily that i got goose flesh i could see that they were never in trouble because they were never trying too much they fell into the reality of it and that vile shape that our early on in the improv lympics did you get that lightbulb moment where its not about trying to be funny its about staying real and pushing it forward oh man i think fairly early on because the way they teach really stress is that just listening and reacting and being honest and i think you know you you can really feel it when youre doing improv and you are forcing something or really going for a joke or trying to be trying too hard it comes across and it just falls flat and so feeling that on stage is really the only way to get to know that and so it was really that was what was so huge for me was like putting myself out there and taking the risk and getting on stage with these people i didnt know and trying to do something you just start to become fearless with it because you fail over and over again and its always fine so the more you fail the better you get and the more complete you get just taking those risks and being yourself and bringing you know you start to find your voice over the years and. That really i think i think the training really just stresses to not try too hard and with i later did you see be that racism for gay and their motto is dont think which really goes hand in hand with that of just the 2nd you start to think and kind of plant your gut and do it just going to. Its dead dead in that moment i used to watch lovetts and phil hartman and they would go up there and literally not know what it was about until youd make suggestions i dont want to turn it into a comedy club but lauren would Say Something and they have such an ease with each other that i was half laughing this to. How unthreatened i felt that they were going to try too hard it was going to go horribly or something liberating about. Rewards what accent all of it freed me up to just dig what was happening yeah i think thats so true i think people can feel there is there are some people who i think it nervous watching improv because theyre like theyre not going to know what to do when its going to be bad and but i think when you like when you want people who are really good at it you dont feel that that stress because theres just this comfort that emanates from the stage you know watching people like teach you to get out of ski and. I came in he was i say not t. J. And dave in chicago but theyre just amazing davis ways either like amazing performers who are just so effortless that you feel like its a play that was written years ago theyd be maybe im rehearsing it forever like it just feels so comfortable and its just fun. Now when youre in evanston like you say youre half an hour away from one of the bastions of improvisation the 2nd city and yet you end up in gotham what drew you there or just feeling approximate or you know or what took you to new york. I was really i was in a sketch group at the time with a friend of mine and we were going to move to l. A. Right after i graduated college and at the last 2nd she said she wanted to move to new york because her family was in upstate new york and i just said yeah so it really there was kind of no reason it was just a whim and i decided i would stay there for a year and i stayed a little over a year and it was it was great i loved it so much but i been so happy in l. A. Its the next its a surprise i dont know what to expect about l. A. And when you come from chicago i feel like theres these a lot of stereotypes about l. A. That its like so superficial and you know all that stuff that people say and some of thats true but its all about who you surround yourself with and i i think i didnt know what it was going to be like to live here at all in new york seemed more accessible to me than l. A. Yeah i always found when i 1st got to l. A. That all i had to do was actually drive to the court galaxy. Yeah i would have a screed to core with could be just used to give the split your apartment new york and walk to it. If you get on a freeway and get off. Later but then when i get them it was pretty much the sake or jelly plus i always i was felt that everybody out there the unspoken dialogue was listen im looking to make it good enough to be sheepish about it there are times when id be at other places id say oh i dont want to look like i want to go for this that or i dont want to be this what act i got everybody hears in place so you dont have to know its true its true i mean if theres something really comfortable about that but like you just know it we all have the same dream and its not embarrassing. When you were a kid with the jet chops then before college or to you know i try to think back i never thought i in my own head i would be started on it but i was one of those kids who was doing hells of pop and in the rec room when i was in puberty what were by you were you funny on the right out of the blocks i think i think i was to some extent i think people think of me that way from my childhood i think in turn lee i felt really shy and nervous a lot of times so its kind of interesting to think back that i was a bit of a class clown and and growing up the league felt comfortable to speak out and make jokes at school and. So theres like a in that internal thing you have going on where youre judging yourself but it doesnt come across that way so i think it was kind of built in and when i started doing childrens theatre that was where i found that i really liked being on stage and being funny but theres such a difference for me between how i am when im you know hanging out with my family versus how i am on stage and so that that was something that i had to really discover as a kid its like i can go in from these strangers and. Something really crazy and then at home i probably wouldnt do that but. Now i can see youre blending in the emblem on your t. Shirt in the light lie paint over your shoulder its very rest of 5. Things that really color experts and i can just see your comfy in your home you know were very rewarding lapis in the films the wrong was spotlessly supposedly david spade over on netflix given a lot of laps another good thing i found about l. A. Is i miss too whiny when i 1st started at l. I was so cut dry about the things youd get sent out for that i started unbelievably to me because i always thought i was like an emotional hemophiliac but i got right no skin pretty quickly where i thought i cant go out and get wrecked the bought the stuff if the do it or dont do it but dont get this vested in it that screws you up when somebody says no did you find out about yourself through yes and its it is such a learning curve because you go from you know just wanting opportunities to then getting a bunch of opportunities but getting rejected for all of them and its just it can really knock you down but i think you know you i developed this mentality with auditions that the 2nd its done i just dont ever think about it again because if i ask my agent got it the answer is no because i would know if i got it so i dont really need someone to directly tell me no i can just assume its a no until proven otherwise and that tends to make me feel better because i just can kind of like work hard on it go in the room do the audition and then let it go and and maybe in you know sometimes audition they dont they dont tell you for a few months that youve got a job so if youre thinking about it the whole time youre going to hate your life so theres just no point. I remember once i read for a movie called the dream team it was about a guy was like mike murphy in the guise of scaping for a day from the Mental Institution like cuckoos nest this 100 went to mets i read for the 1st part it was only played by the very great actor brad dora and hes very pil t. And sample the sikh and he plays somebody whos on the spectrum at that point i dont think the phrase exists i play that part and i remember the guy says 9 want you to read for said tino lets say the guy was he was a sadistic cop on the other side of the equilibrium in the movie and i said. I just have to preface this by telling you that the scent to you know reading is going to sound a lot like the guy. You know that every morning. It was good because id never be close and. Yet im going to go there and. Its sure ive definitely had a lot of beara saying moments like that were just like kicking yourself on the way home and you just have to like try to forget as soon as possible just forget your stuff yeah. We got some questions for you on social media when we said you were coming on lauren and Robert Gordon on facebook so as who are your comedy role models who did you dig on the way out oh man well i truly have always said david spade Adam Sandler Chris farley those were my favorites growing up and as i got older and he said harris the someone that i have always admired so many people but yeah those are my those are my tops iowa i still always think adam and chris farley and david are like the funniest i love all their old movies. Now to be a fly on the wall at the sadar says for dinner i always think that can you know nagell and. I dont know when rahm or something i really look at even if there is so much and i just eat it up whenever he writes about his family especially when he names who is you know talking about amy and technocrats and all the siblings like its just so fascinating i think theyre amazing yeah David Sedaris always surprise me it has twists and turns in the family trauma and it turns out being like running with pinking shears you know its like the opposite of the running with scissors guys and with so brutal i said could it have been this brutal but so there is that always rang morewood up badly would be like them to me and. Its sort of a clever functional family but with their own pitfalls well listen i cant wait till later there are a myriad of reasons why i cant wait for this quarantine to be over but one of the one of the reasons is i cant wait to see you fronting your next next flix film because you killed this what david spade and lauren lapis the wrong missy currently streaming on netflix so were all stuck in and this will make you feel im stuck for a night opprobrious really funny when you talk to your friends think you know its nice talking to you thank you so much. Nice to see. You soon Dennis Miller on a low. Lead. You know a french philosopher of altair said a lot of smart stuff like the value of all paper money eventually gets to its Intrinsic Value 0 smart guy right yet a lot of other smart things to say if.
