thank you ducktails is coming back after twenty five years you're innit. did you watch it i did as a kid it was one of my favorite shows he's a come out i grew up in riverdale in the bronx and i used to come home with david friend as an aussie friends we still watch it every single day there's some of the disney afternoon which was i'm having to explain this stuff to you this makes me glad i never saw ducktails i didn't assume you had but i want you to watch the revival it was it was a bunch of different cartoon shown zero and for me it was like a thing i most connected with as a kid it was what i didn't read as much as a child or a calvin and hobbes and this is the stuff i connect with it's me and mine and you know all about ducks it's all about ducks tunnel dark and donald duck is in the new one by the way yeah donna was what we were more famous duck if you could do this one more famous talking to me donald give me one more in the world they could get a guy like that degree today i'm really proud of you this is just the beginning of an incredible thirty minutes they said if i do well enough they spread it to ninety minutes to get into the mind of a dark. right you put on some barry white i mean to really play

someone well brando told me it as i hate to drop names how many names are you going to drop kangaroos or that's why we don't have a mark it's hard to give in to the this is herbie brando or marlon said. he was that the basement which team not only professional minor league but are a little rock a little play good not well good for a long run i'll tell you what to get into a character to get into a character you have to have to be able to observe characters and the problem is when you get well known characters are observing you well that's interesting so knows you can't sit in a restaurant when everyone is looking at you and you observe them are you observe ducks. you start was such ordinary wisdom and you end it with the well you're playing that duck i am yes it's your right your question is correct but my i

play it in essence this is a kid when i. i played this duck it's not as much a duck as it is a kid a young kid who just wants to do everything and he starts off like you know they lived in a house but now he gets to live in the most reno fancy rich place in the universe is screwed is this. like that wealthy is ducking the world again so now we get to move into this thing so i play him with the idea of like i want to go on adventures i want to do this playing with a kid that always want to do these things that if you important and then like writing you like doing everything right so do you go i being a duck you have a project you have a project good will ferrell and seth rogen what can you tell me about. i'm not allowed to talk about a time but it's like an action comedy it's one a it's a script that i wrote for good universe and gary sanchez which is both of the production companies but it's an exciting one because those two prussian comes i think are two of the fun made up of two the funniest human beings are you in it yes i have to play something in it which as i've learned is i've written

a lot of scratch sold for scripts for different studios. and now i'm trying to sell stuff with me attached as the new scripts been produced and so happy that you brought that up of course not no not have been made they're all sitting there. saying you are a failure yet so in my head for parks and recreation sure so basically the only thing i've succeeded in my life is parks and recreation which you did not i stumbled here like mr bean i didn't mean we would not rights i did not write parks or parks and recreation. i think when people look back on it will be one of the best writing staffs of all time i truly believe the writers on that show were some of the most special group of human beings you'll ever meet because writing do you watch parks and rec why it's what you show what you do you watch right now not sports and not sports related what do you watch t.v. or t.v. or what i watch seinfeld holds course you can't say that all my years on the air

never got to watch or seinfeld because i was on nine o'clock. yeah so i never saw seinfeld ok i admit it has only the v.h.s. player i don't know how to work oh i have a great question for you what is the last time you typed on a computer answer honestly one that i'm never tired because this is true right this is true you've never typed on a computer before i've never sent a text that's crystal settlement check to me as you feel like i don't hear i don't have an i phone what do you use. takes out the excel of the rotary. flip phone oh wow you make calls you receive cosmodrome they me here show me how it works so hard world works it's the phone you darling how does it work where you're from another planet. ok one more question then you know my nerves oh i know well i'm having a great i feel like we're in a family together do you hate belts or love suspenders i like them both the different reasons we have a room both misname time you know that's ever of course an old bag with

a question about a metre those are a nerd would wear it with this that's like socks and sandals right you can do go bag. socks and sandals would be like eating steak with milk if we ever do long form improv show it together can we call our team socks and sandals good idea being serious you come on stage we will do improv a good i'm on that thing that you're on with funny or die yeah and they got me as just my head doing interviews i did yes that's it where you come a kid i want to read comic books quite a bit when i was a kid i collected basketball cards and marvel cards unlike when you class comic yes my mom was a my mom is a bronx school teacher from past forty five years and i was in the bronx and i was going on in just school so there's a lot of stories when i was a young child have been handed down through generations which i don't know if they're true or not because it's like playing a game of telephone is that my dad my dad started my dad was

a social worker at. the y. . and. yes the i'm ha in the bronx and then he moved to real estate. but yeah i mean my sister i have a sister who's three is only me and she's a psychologist and everybody helps people but me you're from riverdale yes that's well to the bronx right yeah it's like the jewish like the northern part of the bronx where there's a bunch of i when i was living there a bunch of jewish people living there how far from yankee stadium are yankee stadium was not that far all but my dad grew up one seventy six and granddad which is right near you can see where you're from the bronx no broken record of course but. it was one hundred sixty first there you had dodger salmon course. of buddy idea mind. you study psychology and anthropology yes do you use them both in your daily life i think i do our own in college right now i'm analyzing the hell out of really trying to get into it trying to figure it out

you've done improv for years right yeah improv is the thing that got me into combat i started off as a freelance model writer for the late show with david letterman a gentleman who used to host a late night show when you were on c.n.n. i appeared on that show quite a few i know i've seen you on the show you're fantastic on the shank phone would you ever wonder one of those oh it was would have been easy i don't want to sound pompous please late night. what a joke i used to do five hours a very hour since. that's a joke that show they call it hard you got sixteen writers you go out you can even bomb in the monologue and that works for you right yeah you get guess you sit down you got eight minutes with a guess you got a sidekick so it's like a bug me this is a got a band that plays may call it for that stuff get the word good or the card to be afternoon you tape it five you've done a six they pay you thirty two million a year allow one to know it and. why do you like doing improv great

transition i think that's why you've been. king the king transitions it's because for me i love the idea of making stuff on the spot when i saw for the first time at the upright citizens brigade theater in new york i went and it was four chairs people came out with absolutely nothing nothing prepared and the fact that they could create an entire show in front of me and make an audience of it's a small it's a one hundred twenty people laugh was i thought it was beautiful and i loved it so much and the idea that you failed together or succeed together i think differentiates it from stand it was incredibly hard an incredible as well but i love that idea you've written a book about dating or you or bad it. some to learning from you still date yes of course ever going close to marriage not close to marriage but i've i've i have been with people that i cared about a great deal of the book is called things you should already know about dating and it's all it spurred from the idea of i was dating someone and i kind of realize

that there's some chivalrous stuff that is lost between generations and money ols now may not know these things and putting their car that's truly one of the basics that i don't i don't believe it's at done as much or all those things and then in my head as i will what else don't i know personally and i was of my friend laura moses and she goes what else don't i know this to be a great book and so what it is it's a tip and then a guy and a girl talking about the tip going back and forth saying why it's great or why it's bad or something that would do let me go do you call each other for dates do people call up and say i'll see you seven as i see up at eight o'clock that's one of the things i think everything now is done through text messages or apps so i think i think and there's something funny to this that when someone call someone personally the other person will get scared or think it's like a stalker or a thing or like for me in my family we wait for like someone to walk into the door before you leave when you're in your car you know like anytime my dad or mom drop

me off or you a phone to get into the house make sure they're ok. so now if you drop someone off on a date and i look at that and we get into their house like this i look like an oak creek i think the dating culture is kind of getting hurt by the idea of these apps showing that there's a limited amount of possible to find texting impersonal i think there is a skill set to texting and i think it is i think it has become impersonal do you think that are you what's your relationship status now married married do you think what do you think your life would be like if you had although you never use the a form for if you have apps in which to date people i would never of you i don't think that abuse would have been an anti or i miss that typewriter you miss the typewriter idea what type of writer of the types yeah i miss the rotary phone you stick your finger in it always works but i didn't like it before and that was unnecessary you lick it before you went like this because i don't know why i'd like to. do you do that photo lab coming up next. town of

strange dogs and stranger things with bed and schwartz will be right back on this the weirdest of all larry king is don't go away. i think the average viewer just after watching a couple of segments understands that we're telling stories that are critics can't tell and you know why because their advertisers won't let them. in order to create change you have to be honest you have to tell the truth parties able to do that every story is built on going after the back story to what's really happening out there to the american what's happening when a corporation makes a pharmaceutical chills people when a company in the environmental business ends up polluting

a river that causes poor. other illnesses they put all the health risk all the dangers out to the american public those are stories that we tell every week and you know what they're working. john roll c.e.o. general feel like loved his character played a show called parks and recreation i know we discussed such a home i'm happy i just want to make sure you were alert you're there and it was great because that was i got to play with people like amy poehler when i think of as a legend of comedy true legend of comedy and that cast was incredible and i get to kind of be a nut job i'm like a cartoon like a cartoon character you liked him loved him because he was so sure he was nailing it at all times he never thought he was being a douche bag or abrasive he thought that he was just being the most charismatic person amy poehler described the characters like a puppy where if he peed on the rug you can't yell at him just like john ralphie

you know and i loved i love that describe it's really fun because your question left year people realize that john roughly zero looked like steve from stranger things these are two pop culture references i can't imagine you know but i love that you're saying that they told me this great we show up on stranger things i would love to show up on strangers why don't they have you know if you look like the guys latter you have more paul miss industry than i do you make those goals you tell them to count on them to put down stranger things put them on straight i want to marvel movies you do have in a marvel moment i think so make an action hero that would have been a better movie what's a jewish superhero name that you can think of this was your two cents a jewish superhero name sky. sky bird oh no oh no the world is collapsing we need a hero here comes. out of the sky. there are lots and you he doesn't have

a cape of course he does what does he use them. going. to go into a phone with an turns from a rabbi so he turns. into a guy would pay us. about on the rabbi routings filmy bag that's like the slow motion action hero that one is wrapped himself in sweats dripping blood by god so you're writing. hello bad that's his big expression let me hear it when he confronts a killer or anything yeah a lot of it would say i'm going to give you this guy for one second i'm going to be your perfect scenario this is your tagline this is what you say ready we're fighting you where we've been having this huge fight you we've been with guns and knives you finally have mean you have the gun right over my head and right before you shoot me the biggest villain and you're in your life what do you say good bye and good luck. you know. now play a game of if you only knew i throw questions that you've been know many as your

childhood so every crush you know alone would love demi more disclosure hubba hubba oh yeah. out of ha demi moore disclosure of secret talent. i'm pretty i'm pro pretty good shooter a basketball person you'd trade places with for a day oh man there's an intelligent beautiful answer or you know what i could say you with i feel like british jaded like it would be no one. how do you know it is like i didn't know you like that you look down the name care i'm going to say i. want to feel i would love to have the skill set of a meryl streep or a tom hanks i'd love to be them one day and see or feel like that controlled aircraft where does job you've ever had i don't sneakers at a place called athlete's foot i also worked at the petting zoo at the bronx zoo and i knew that you and i worked and there's a lot of that i loved there's a picture that my mom took of me feeding a llama while sitting on there and that was i think the most honest i never had

anything in mind great zoo great zoo by those. guilty pleasure. i guilty because it's cool now but i love musicals mom was a music teacher so we just always been hansen was a waitress it was he how good is that did you interview. how does he do it eight times so it's astounding to me he every ounce of his being is in every word and it's it made me it made me so i was in all of him and then jealous that he was able to do that or use that good where we come from he was in a couple movies but i don't know maybe from your heart and soul can you make sure before we were on a time and i got to ask you to question ok i really and ok ok i think you're great you do an impression i'm a i had to do one for a kevin pollack's pod cast once i'm very very you may want to get tight on this i'm very good impressions type sincerely and i don't want and ok and i know that when people do impressions you've heard yours a bunch but i'm actually very good at it say any sentence and i'll say it back to

you. exactly as you said it in your in your cans in your voice or ship favorite simpsons character oh you'll see a little. you think that's me. you're hearing me correct you herr mit. i'm really well i think you've got it thing you got it. you're very good ben. what superpower would you like to have i think i love to be able to fly because i am a little bit afraid of heights and i think i had control of it because we're in a plane but you don't have any control that you don't have trouble flying a plane i fly so much for work that i'm fine but this one i realise the first couple times i was in a plane it was incredibly turbulent and that's what i thought all plane rides were and then slowly i learned as i learned i was in a wright brothers point i went through a period where turbulence scared me to death still to us and now i kind of like

what they tell me wise that i'm eighty three years old so when but that's not how to beat the odds all the time and then i've discovered. all planes have turbulence yeah and and i sat with a pilot once who explained to me so he saw that turbulence is a way of life and that the plane can not tend not to turn over ok this is what did not happen in a movie as bad as it gets that's course the guy was drunk and he hit the ones where you just said it could never admin and you go washington yes because the good turn to do what he was doing then he turned the wrong switch so somatic that is in turn means it can't turn over unless a pilot by mistake touched the wrong it or by the i'm not nearly as competent what i learned is exactly what you said i look at the flight attendants if the flight attendants are nervous i try my best not to be nervous because i was on a flight once where the flight into i saw flight attendant freak out from the

turbulence and it made me realize that we're all we're all going to die i also have this feeling of although i know this isn't true before before i was acting whenever for some reason in first class i saw a you or a celebrity that i realized in my head i'd be like oh well this this link can't go down there's no way julianne moore is dying or something like that you know why you should do that yeah i would i would i would get whatever sometimes if i see the stewardess if i think the pilot has called the stewardess and she's gone yes on the phone. and then she calls a stewardess from all came over but i'll give you a quick funny story i was on a plane that lost the manager are you serious were flying from salt lake to washington. united airlines and they can catch a break boom boom stewardess goes running forward. and she says the pilot gets on saddam five of twenty five years of never lost the mention we could fly to washington with one engine so i was sitting next to a guy

a member of the water show called larry king live what years of all the cia in. i graduated high school and i said to the guy next to me who was a fighter pilot in world war two i said to him. just for instance what would happen if the other were injured in blue. and he said to me they would change the name of your show. the best perk the biggest celebrity. my hope is that if my family needed i could help them out in a hospital way or something like that something something in terms of i can help now the doctor maybe the one that i've utilizes the idea of taking my mom to a musical which i want to be able to get tickets to or something like to see hello dolly you know but my mom has got tickets for but have you seen it history of how many times you going to be a bad mother. five or six is there some is there

a human being that you interviewed and a question that you regretted over the course you're sixty years of interview human beings no but i regretted not having asked the course can you can you tell me what that is or was i had on the head of apple what time which human being the second had it up all the wonderful guy was still was ok and it was a two hour radio interview i had him on for the whole two hours and then we start to come calls and he said you know. you never asked him why he fired steve yeah he fires steve jobs yeah i didn't know that at the time why didn't i ask i mean our stats that's when your biggest regret out of politicians and that comes to my popped out where is the test you question or. if you had the choice and you weren't just allowed to write your name in a gravestone and you had to have a sentence something that if you like to find either your life or your career not

to say that one takes precedence over the other what would you have i don't have an answer for this before you asked me but what would you have on your gravestone something to sum up i won't be right back. great. so social media question is going great guys it's insane i'm a good as ever show canadian lin's what do you think john real theo would be up to these days can i tell you that there's an easter egg in the final episode of parks that not many people know about that the character that billy eichner plays is on a plane and a stewardess hands him champagne and if you freeze the frame and zoom in on the champagne you find out that general feel is making champagne in the future and that's what he said he somehow of a did pictures on the label it's his sapper stain is my last name. and. you know play my father in that show you're going to love henry winkler i really could have my dad the best. one of the nicest peepers at oversea i met him he had heard that

my back hurt so he gave me a back massage. and then i'm like i'm cheeky turnip wants to know. if you had to choose one for the rosia life acting or improv. it's so hard because they both kind of bleed into each other i can act and improvise the same time because that luisa by the bay. is or with your upcoming dating book what are your thoughts on script to go rom com i'd like to see something funny and true without the usual cliches you think you could work wonders i the second movie i ever sold with imagine which is brian grazer ron howard's company nestle to universal is a movie called no hearts club and it's a romantic comedy about a gentleman who doesn't have the ability to fall in love and it follows the idea of this person trying to figure out if he's capable of doing it and how he can break free and do those things and does he meet a girl. it hasn't come out yet it has

a nice thing i like about it is it exactly what they said the beats of it. to what i believe what happened in real life and the ending of it what actually well i have a question for you you've been in broadcasting for sixty years sixty sixty six zero years. you doing this show and continuing to work every day believe you or three days a week or four days a week still for a four days a week still do you find it a necessity is there of course there's join it but is the joy the thing that drives you to keep coming to work every day or is a necessity to keep doing something and and something along those lines it's both ok it's a joy to do it i never tired of the work even when. really i go to our job i mean i go to here i go to a place i ask questions. that work. you know who works bus driver get out as an avenue yeah he works construction guy building a building you know and low reason he's off he's he's work yeah cop works that's
