winning natural selection now you can catch them in the yahoo web series we need to help in which they star is over the top version of themselves who hire a struggling actor to be their very own personal assistant do you have personal assistants in real life yes it sure does i don't i'm going to start up with one in two weeks how did this come how do we need help come about well. we were personal assistants i was a i was a personal assistant seraph ryan or when i got curb your enthusiasm really and delver although the sister world is so crazy and you have to do terrible things you know it's not just being an assistant to what somebody in a dot of at person do you know i mean like you got you guys i mean like i can't speak for you but but when you're in somebodies home you're kind of a part of their it's a weird thing because you're part of their life but you're also you also work for them correct so i was a nanny for a shouter a guy. we can. yes so the writers of the show is the purpose is to i

mean to sign a light on this dark underbelly world but i have a lot of fun with it and so we have in the show we need help we share a personal assistant a guy named max who's played by max lowe who actually was my assistant for a while so max is a struggling young actor and in real life he was my assistant and then on the you know also studying the groundlings to yes which we both that's how we met was the ground anyway so there's a blurred line and you were does the who brought it to yeah yeah yeah yeah vaughn with that we had so so much time because also it's loosely based on our real life dynamic to life with cheryl and i both being actresses and both this idea that we had to share an assistant set us up in a way that they could she would get more like the sister would have to do more important things for cheryl than for me but because i didn't have mike my career

isn't in the same place as cheryl on the show odd the show and then in the show but and so they can i so it the dynamic for us is that cheryl like gets has to go do a talk show let's say she has to go speak with you and then i have to go do a ribbon cutting ceremony of a food court opening. the personal assistant has to do with have to deal with making sure that she feels like her the language that was. the assistant attempts to place a merkin on you i need to know what that means ok or you don't know what americanus really i had american as a tiny little wig that you put over your private area for what purpose she was in because for instance us a game of thrones take is a period piece so and now if there is an annuity and you see a woman nude. a lot of times women these days are doing a lot of grooming waxing going to. keep it clean it was so if they needed more of

a natural more of a natural look like you want to like they want to keep things that look like oh you need a merkin is that yes i even make it more than i did she did in real life yeah well no but when i was a producer on a sure thing to keep it full and natural i outlay it's just it's so gigantic it does it does it stand on its own what's the worst thing you there's the issue seem to do the worst thing i've ever asked an assistant to do i think the worst thing you could do is just the worst feeling i've ever had is telling them like tell them who i am. make reservations and tell them who are remarkably like who don't i believe i would tell them who i am and they're like we still don't know we still don't know is that you know i think but i'm trying to think with the worst thing that you've ever had an assistant do a running lines but but i mean really lines up to you. are saying i have had my assistant run lines with me while i was on a treadmill with my size cellophane not kidding it's sad but it's true

because it hoping to sort of is this show in bravo's proof that. it's both good to both improbable formers we are it's scripted we have a great writer truly welsh i really wanted to say that and i are very proud of our and then there's a little room for improv and we have improv of what's the secret of not laughing but on curb your enthusiasm how did you not laugh i you know what he did a lot that the inside of my cheek that hurts it hurts and it keeps you from laughing because because on curb we had two cameras there is always one on larry and the person he was speaking to. it's not correct grammar but you know what i'm saying so. that's ok but if i had been he was terrible about breaking and laughing but then if i laughed during his take he would get upset so i learned to by my cheek and you have

a bridge that oh constantly the groundlings they would i was famous for breaking and i we had a director once that said rachel every time you start to break onstage i want you to think to yourself what would meryl streep do. and i was like well now i'm going to laugh every single time and i did and i continued to laugh and it and it really actually really did make some of the performers angry they're like this isn't the carol burnett show and i do a personal assistant sign confidentiality agreements you know what i feel like i need to i should have i need out now you should i think because they have all your secrets j. i have all my secrets and good stuff it's kind of a lot of secrets but it is kind of scary because they are ina isn't she doesn't have to know your personal they know everything so you call you call is we need help yeah you know you need help. you need the help of the person which is what makes your great personal assistant thing somebody who is. genuinely enthusiastic

and interested in in helping you lay that they're really great with multitasking and they know how to speak to the people that they can represent you well like when ever they're calling on your behalf they have to say yes no matter what the question it that's what i learned being in a system myself no matter what someone asks you you say yes and then you figure it out. oh well tough i would be but i'm just saying that i had to ask my assistant to clean. hedgehog two my daughter has a pet hedgehog. it is you in her house there as she is out of the pets but. not going to clean out the cages let's be honest so i had asked my sister to clean and it's hard because you know don't you have a maid i don't she is a housekeeper. this is a little because i'm not sure my housekeeper going to handle a hedgehog honest with you are all this is going around here and secondly put shut

up you stop everyone stop talking so you thought hollywood was glamorous didn't you but how did this part of the should begin to begin with the groundlings we met at the groundlings yes yeah and fifty years ago. if you come here and right away. we did i know we the thing was that our friend who was directing us at the time you had like a buddy like that would take you there was some of the show it sure was like the old the old person and that she would give it she'd already been in the in the senate committee which is like the farm team of the yankees it's like the you know the senate companies what you do before you get into the big show and cheryl was like she was assigned to be my buddy unwillingly like unwittingly like she didn't know i mean i didn't she was forced to do as i did her great work but my first my i do it the way i remember rachel because i lack yes i had met her before and then we were a fair concert right and there was a long line to get water and drinks were sitting in line and rachel comes up i feel

like she's like this far from my face and i'm close talker he's like remember me up . to the ground and i said oh that's that's great and she said you have no idea what my name is do you. and i could feel my face k. hot like now that i know her that's like the worst possible thing that i can i and i i didn't remember her name ever and she said but she said i've met you at least three times and you don't remember my name i didn't really say that i don't think i really say that because i was like i guess i can't go on site. it was opposed to much of the in the road with you was lucius the group was with a lot of fun well yeah it was. i don't think it was it never had it if it was really supportive and it's one of those things that you want to be with great people because they make you better when you get so associated with comedy is both of you do do you do desire to do. would you like to offer miller play would you

like to do yet you know i did i really wanted that's i mean my intention never was to go into comedy i remember i was in college thinking i was going to go to new york and do a lake in india a night mother checa and and then i had a college professor they said you really should do comedy. out of college and then i mean he said you know you really should do comedy and i was like oh ed you know that's crazy and then years later when i wasn't working at all in new york or los angeles i went to the ground and i saw shown i was like oh my gosh i want to do this so bad you're all over you i don't. i do like drama i don't feel like i need to do drama for the sake of doing drama just so the world can see my other sad but. you want people to see your range. but i do what i say i like the. i like of i like a drama with a comedic feel to it you know the because i think it's reflective of true life so

even in the even in the most dramatic situation there's usually moments of comedy and i like that you get involved in these shows personally i like do you care about her dating robert kennedy oh my god yes he's awesome you know and i love him and i am so in love with the person that i'm with right now also with i'm with a really great guy named christian hable he's a violinist he plays with josh groban and really he's in a violin artist's he's great you have a violinist in it and you have a political inspired mentalists environmental we like it or you both serious with these people so serious so it's instead serious shows as i was that way too serious but i'm just in interviews now with people but yes for dead serious is it more interesting being involved or want to go on as i was a candidate needs to be on it. there is never a dull moment. here you know it's that he has an amazing family and they're all.

intelligent and warm. people giving coming just so much and they get there really and that being the case to it they're you know it's this the family that a lot of that most people know of and feel like they have some sort of connection with and and they're always out in the spotlight whether they want to be or not so it's it double edge sword and tragedy. but you know that may also be true for a lot of families if you looked at them in the yeah it's not as it does that doesn't make the headlines of someone's. family member dies what do what does your bio in this thing do they show he loves it he loves it he's also very. he but he really what he always is pitching ideas for it oh yeah i but he's also saying like you know you really are at some episode where you need

a violinist. i think he's just like trying to get at is robert the solution he loves it he said he just watched all of them at once and he makes his friends watch it he makes them sit down why is he it's great yeah i think he i think he would do the show to oh for sure we need to write in an environment where they got really mad because we didn't do something that he suggested he didn't really he had an episode he was like i can't believe you wouldn't do this yeah he pitched an idea the second season but he started using music we didn't use it wasn't it was too late it is don't always get their way. we do a bit of digging a ditch cheryl and rachel's professional pass and all in the roles they may have regretted it allowed. but. it was a. very hard to get. to get on here like that or how exactly would that hurt their feelings.

it was. going to be. a bit of a political. that was a new alert animation scripts scare me a little bit. leaving. there is breaking news tonight and we are continuing to

follow the breaking news meaning. alexander's family cry tears of the war and it is great things rather that. regard a court of war is around a line there's a story made sort of movies playing out in real life. we'll back with cheryl hines and rachel as they costar and we need help on yahoo great idea great concept that they are both a lot of fun and which stream really talented will you in your career when you got the part in curb your rubber on his assistant i was rob reiner's assistant at the time but you were also in the groundlings i was in the groundlings i was performing at the groundlings and every edition and she came back and i was she sat down next to us in the theater and you were like you guessed it on curb right i did one of the catch us they cast me as

their i'm going to the golden globes that's so weird and grateful you were married it was that gave about we were married when my fairy would have. to bob to get back with you but because you leave the. leaving the room and they let you know and i respect would tell you about your appearance in hardcopy oh my gosh my hair it's in hardcopy was the first thing i ever did in new york i literally got a cost and they want people to look like brigitte bardot types because back then i was like i was so they super skinny and. it wasn't that healthiest time i left it at any rate so i go down there and i have to do a. react minute. cards all the time and it was in black and white was it a girl's shoulder oh it was way girl she was so it was so grow every knack might have been or is it they did this thing about huntington hartford losing his fortune and that he was in squalor and that but they do went back and they talked about how he

kind of women that he liked when he was young and i remember having to do like this in slow motion with a girl like a girl faith and i had to snort cocaine i didn't end it with a kid to cut it and then i had to go down really slow wearing a failure to act in slow motion they could just do it in. i can't remember i mean or any hard copy and i was like the first i don't want to be confined in i'll give them ten thousand dollars louise brennan and swamp thing. what was slums thing ok so i want i think it was a t.v. show that was shot in orlando florida where there was an evil scientist big budget and huge budget and somehow the swamp thing. monster would have thought of the farm and teach everybody a lesson in the internet that's for our own son strolling it was great you knew you were doing marches in star trek voyager that's one of my favorite roles ever

because i had to get to give birth to as to what an alien on my back there's a birthing bar and i had to hold on to a birthing bar and they pushed it out and it looked like i was. in the heavy career credits about sure it was unsolved mystery it certainly it's funnier when it's where it had oh no i don't solve mysteries and i tell you something and you know this story's her hair was like curly my unsolved mysteries lead to a solved mystery which is there is something about a nanny there or there are the nanny or would lead to a natural love and i said yes thank you very broder so i'm thrilled about it and i feel very proud very proud so all is time you were going on to she was right doing a lot of comedy well the things that i'm think it's good for you right what was it like like for you when curb it was she couldn't sell a telephones at a garage sale and try to get people to buy telephones at like five ten dollars and

that was an embarrassing moment i don't have a garage curb was on the air at. the yard sale and it was a brand new wallet but in the fridge there is never anything this guy came up to a garage sale there i mean i'm not out there for my health your store on television you know who exactly exactly well though it's the problem larry jagan seeing herself as like a star no i mean i was still in a room you know ring controlled one bedroom apartment in west hollywood it did you know it did not change my life in a monetary way was that significant at the time the bottom line is that she tried to haggle somebody for that wallet in her garage and he said no and then he walked off and he said oh by the way i like your show and i said all you can have the wallet because none of that's ok they want to tell larry david the story he said. next time you want to have a garage sale will you just tell me and i will give you fifty dollars so you. yourself maged up we thought this would be a marvelous opportunity to introduce

a new segment on our show called how to impress your so every boss starring the staff of larry king now this is basically hollywood want to one rachel and cheryl if you could please provide some a by employees with your sound advice first up one of our hard work the internes devon mcdaniel devon has two questions ok so i often find myself in the same room with larry and it's a little bit hard to start casual conversation with him unless you want to talk about the dodgers or international politics and i don't know how far you can go without invading his personal privacy so it's a good conversation starter to use with your celebrity boss. celebrities like to talk about themselves so any time you can say every day like to hear that they are out of it you back right and also you can say well those suspenders look great ok with that tie and he will go on for the next ten minutes without how great he looks in the suspenders and in your eyes is broken yeah and then the second question is as you may or may not know larry's thirtieth birthday is coming up you haven't and

i don't know if i should give him a gift and if it's appropriate and if i should give him a gift what do you give the man who has an emmy sitting on his coffee table it's a good question. he should make a gesture if he let's say he likes prose in yogurt. i do that's how it is a perfect thing it's in your price range you don't get him a scarf the second aware it he's got better scarf than you can buy him so him but he can't he's not going to go get frozen yogurt farm self so that's a perfect get him for yogurt with a candle on it and good to get up to try too hard i mean i'll go right on for me because if you're not serious you're not going to. fall river on the name for rules has two questions for you guys so i'm the new guy in the office and i have two questions oh nice to meet you by the way larry thank you. jay with a. bit of shyness and then also being your grands new environment what's your sense

you have to break the ice and fit in well i think. the best thing you can do is not try too hard just know that take you know take your time getting in but then also don't be afraid to just be honest you know like you could say to larry like a amnio and i'm going to shy but i would love to have to talk with you and then i'll be an awkward pause this is then then you just say yeah but then i think but i think honesty is the best policy and you can say i just you know where to go out just yeah that's right come on gravel ok you are should. have been a regular coming up on a future show and little bit of a harry potter fan give me suggestions of how i can avoid being starstruck. security approach i would say i would say don't ever not don't ever try to let go of being starstruck because cheryl and i when we went to the vanity fair party a couple years and all we know is that people like it when you come up to them and

say you know larry i'm such a huge fan given on like that when people say oh it was it is it is always nice but you but the trick is to get out gracefully because he's not going to want you to sit down and hang out no offense because i'm sure you're a great person. but you have to do your thing and then act like you want i wanted to when i acted out we're going to show you me i'm your head ok i'm here i'm daniel radcliffe it's so great to see you i'm adamant like i'm the biggest fan and q. so much. gosh i would love to talk to you but larry needs me on the set great thank you this lovely thing i hope i'm writing to you again would love to i got it this is the way to deal with it is that you think about you and i believe. you that you're fired ok. you know and getting the right to the security of his kid and last but not least alex logan a star editor in our firmly in the job. good ol it's

a larry long time editor first time question dr. so larry just had a big barbecue for the whole staff and with the holidays coming up i wanted to know exactly how drunk can i get to work function in if i do get over served can i crush on my boss's couch is that cool not cool i would say yes you what i would say because i honestly let's say let's say you get really drunk you you pass out on the couch he fires you but you have such a good story for the rest of your life you know every thought out party you go to you go that's what happened to me two thousand and thirteen i was fired by larry king because i threw out on his but you know earn and then i pass out that i want to say first of all ok usually i would yes and you and be like yes but first take kudos on your stash it's amazing to hear that and i mean that's that hats off to that and i would say if again i think honesty is the best policy you can say

i'm mortified you known really drunk right now and that's when all your friends are called. leave your kids go lower than fourteen and they're to leave your leave your kit leave your car at larry's go if you want even you know. if you want to know you want to know know him you would know and then that take you there is a question also about cars ok so if larry invites me to the oscars this year where's a good place that i can park my ford focus stationwagon prefer or is this like is really going to valet event or should we run a limo like chrome no do not get a limo i think it will show a lot of class of personality if you drive your car you drive larry i think if you guys you know show up in your him o.b.l. i'm sorry he's going to have a parking pass that's that's what you really need to focus on oh yeah eve got to put your parking pass and you're on your dashboard and honestly you can drive anywhere through and people will really respects sunrise. oh else thank you very
