in many ways the news landscape just like the real news big names good actors. and in the end you could never. so much. all the world all the world's a stage. play. on larry king now. j l s here and i thought i was going to. the guy just like somebody was going to like. we got a show for you with you so long to get here and it was far from that i was making a twenty five an hour like given out like towels in a locker room keys and five o'clock in the morning most agents were like this like not even looking up and they'd be like thank you when they turn around and go the other way. and also like such a great leader like you really don't realize that uses your balls because she treats everyone the same and forever for her everyone she brings into the whole world is like family plus i'm sorry creator and star and if you're

a creative person and not all of the work you have to embrace the people. in the world well as soon as you embrace that bombing doesn't matter silence is not a big deal so that. all next on larry king mel. larry king our guest today is actor producer jay i will sue stars in the emmy nominated hit h.b.o. series in secure opposite you also know jay from the game masters of sex grace and frankie and like twines which he also produced now in its second season and secure airs sundays at ten thirty pm on h.b.o. it's already been renewed for a third season surprise that it's success yeah i think you know where in a bubble so we never know. how it's going to be received i think you know the one

thing i think we're not surprised about is how people relate to it because it is they are very authentic very genuine very relatable stories so i think that we always expected but i don't know if we expected it to be so at all what is it's a cultural event yeah it is really really is and your character people can't divorce themselves right how to explain you know i think we meet this guy and it's great because you get to go on this journey with him when you meet him in the first season i think because of that because you meet him at a low point and you kind of hate him then you get to root for him to kind of get it back together and then you see him have it and you're excited for me you're happy and then you watch him get his heartbroken and then you watch him make a bad decision and i think because of that like you get so involved in his life and you just you get pissed at him every time he messes up and you're happy for him every time he does something good so i think you know it's he's kind of become this

. this representative dominick perry she plays as a girlfriend and people hate oh gee she got it now i think now people love her you know she got a little bit of both of them to see the one people were hayden like she was literally get yelled at and like her you know twitter and instagram were like all mean like you know hateful you never going to be and now you know fast forward she's now like cuss lawrence out and called him. boys which she called him but more or less now that that is have been you know i think women were like just gave her the slow clap like they were cheering for now she's a national hero like that said the tables have turned you knocked around it hasn't been an overnight thing for you how are you dealing with the celebrity. i don't know if i am with. i don't know if i am i think i try to do a good job of like hiding from it you haven't changed but i mean i hope yeah i

think i do a good job but i mean i thought i'd like to think i do a good job of just kind of staying away from it my parents are here in town so they cure a military kids yeah my dad was an air force my parents parents were in the air force so like it's a generational you travel a lot as a kid a ton a ton of time given to a school is just one to twelve schools in thirteen years it's crazy like new kid like every week like every week i'm like trying to figure out a new ship a new stick to make like all the kids in class like me who are best will play play play basketball you'll play in high school then i got limited knowledge. which was which was an amazing spirit i wasn't good enough to play in college no not i got really really lucky my senior year and i don't own a kid who was six foot eleven and because of that like we were raised scouts where they are and we were able to send tape out to a bunch of people in this school in portland offered me a scholarship and then i got there like these kids were like bigger faster stronger i mean i remember like my first practice set in the pic and this dude who was only

two months older than me he was also a freshman at two months old and he probably outweighed me by like thirty five pounds and with the same height and this kid plowed through me. and after lake. my chest after i realize my chest didn't explode just my ego was shattered i realize that like this is just a job like i make a career at it and you moved to l.a. two thousand and four but didn't get your first big role until two thousand and thirteen so you went through nine years of what jumping odisha into a vision a little bit like i got here and i thought i was going to be a fresh prince i just thought like somebody was going to like behave man where you've been we've got a show for us to do so long to get here i got a job working at equinox when it was below endeavor before william morris and endeavor did the merger and i thought that like oh well if at this age it is jim

below his agency every day like some agent is going to see me and be like man we've been here waiting for you like where have you been and we've got three movies and a t.v. deal like you are the guy we're viewed in and it was far from that i was making a twenty five an hour like given out like towels in a locker room keys at five o'clock in the morning most agents were like this like not even looking up and they'd be like yeah thank you and they turn around and go to the other way and then i got this like opportunity to got it i bumped into an agent at a party and he sent me out on a bunch of auditions and i was just miserable like i was just i was i can directly into the camera for every single audition like cast and directors were laughing and it was all it was horrible like i pray not to stuff ever comes out and finally he called me one day and he's like listen this isn't working out we're going to chop you ok well i don't want to be a starving artist anyway who wants to just drive across los angeles all day like auditioning getting told no when i'm getting like parking tickets that i can't even pay for with my a twenty five an hour salary my car has a boot on it and i can't there's no bag man so like so. i just got

a day job and just started work and so i spent the next four and a half five years just working and like. always wanting to be so how did you get the break in the business. i was working a job my boss called me i was only person she hired and she was like i just got like oh you're probably going to get like oh i'm just giving you a heads up so you can you know go look for another job call or occurred in the front of the job and all i could think about was all i ever wanted to do is act i moved to l.a. to i wanted to do it as a kid but was too afraid to do it because i was a basketball player and that those worlds didn't cross and and so i just decided that i was going to sacrifice and do whatever it took so i gave myself like two to three years to like have some for a lot of them move deep into the valley i lied to my parents for two years and sort of i was going to work every single day i got an acting class nonstop booked a couple commercials i got an agent i booked a costar booked

a guest star i tested for a pilot i auditioned eight times for the game and i booked the game will be eighty and did that for the next four years four and a half years and then left that somehow east and print is and h.b.o. was crazy enough to give me one g.'s of like to work with she was here she's great she's great man she's a lot of fun isa's like. she's sees. just a genius they got to and also like such a great leader like you really don't realize that isas your boss because she treats everyone the same and forever for her everyone she brings into her world is like family and she treats us all as such a like that's such of a great feeling you're involved with the advocacy right so when he talks about how much of it they don't and i think you know it think because it has diminished that

is interesting so i think what has happened is the deaths domestically have to minish now that we have as cocktails so many cocktails and so much so much medicine to to keep. accounts higher but infection rates are actually climbing. and it's something that is not talked about and it's something that's actually affecting the black community in the latino community in this country more than anyone else want to get involved i lost an uncle to a ninety one. and at the time aids was still a baby nobody really knew what i was rather it was my grandmother's brother and then i've had another family member who's lived with hiv since the late ninety's so for me. you know being able to use this platform and being able to reach people across the world and especially people who look like me and saying like listen guys we're being infected by hiv three to four times more than any other race in this country we need to be aware we need to know we need to

protect ourselves we need to know what resources are there i feel like that's that's just part of what i'm supposed to do us buddy obama administration to moderate a panel about closing the opportunity gap for men of color what was like a dream i got called out on a. man is must of been like a wins day morning like ten am from the white house and i thought it was a joke that was like somebody was playing with me actually and. a young man from the entertainment office in the white house called he said i'm calling on behalf of the president we'd like you to come out and moderate this panel can you be here tomorrow to do it tomorrow because he crazy like i mean it is the president i got to go right so i literally i mean i changed my entire day caught a flight that night i brought my dad with me which was absolutely amazing you moderated a pen moderated a panel with all these young men of color there and mayors from sixty different cities the president got to meet the president he came out and spoke at the end of

were like we want this on our platform let's do it well cross says does lawrence learn how to process his emotions in a healthy way is the go or is he going to keep self destructing. i hope he learns to i think that's part of the journey of these characters and part of the journey and you know part of the world that isas has created with these people and it's showing us is that they are messy and we are messy like as humans that's just part of life and growth happens when you know you get your heart broken or growth happens when you realize that you're you know in a threesome you shouldn't be and growth happens when you realize that works not going the way you expected it to go so i hope he he he learns how to use his words and kind of face the stuff that's out to get knocked down you don't have to the plume game of if you only know just sort of questions that ship well it's a guilty pleasure. clause on t.n.t. niecy nash lover person you trade places with for a day president obama secret talent oh man. i remodel

artsy america it's the greater media landscape. all right we are a solid alternative to the. liberal or conservative and as you can. skew the facts either talking at lefties talking at righties oh there you go above it all look at world in the spotlight. no i got a classic took me way more time than i care to admit. our guest is actor comedian and writer andrea savage you know her from veep episodes and step brothers and the years later show is i'm sorry a series she stars in writes and created i'm sorry airs wednesdays at ten pm eastern on tru t.v. why is it called. i'm sorry cumple reasons i feel like people are always slightly disappointed when i tell them is really i'm not sorry in general i'm not really

that apologetic in my humor that kind of thing and people always say women say i'm sorry too much like someone bumps into them and they're like oh i'm sorry you know so that was kind of in this like i said i feel like men do it just as much as women do but i find that eyes and sorry more in like. i'm sorry what is it that you're trying to tell me yeah so it's a little bit more of a. different ways i usually say i'm sorry what is the character it's kind of a version of myself i basically a character i mean andrea and it's in the line of like a louis or master of none or like a curb so it's real stories from my everyday life the pilot is my my daughter when she was in preschool i found out her best or one of her friends mom used to be a well known anal porn star and she had now changed her name and had a different profession and i was the only one who knew it for like a year and a half and i kept it a secret and i became obsessed with the condition of that area of her body and

making sure everything was ok we have an air of complicated female characters we've got in the handmaid's tale big little and i think finally women have you know gotten enough progress in the entertainment industry that their stories are being. soul that people are interested that people think now realize people want to hear them your show could work ten years ago. i don't you know i don't know it may have been just before its time i mean been on for a while there have been other female shows i would say my show is much more of a pure comedy than some of the darker comedies that are out there. i don't know ten years ago would have been if you tried a lot of projects with oh i've tried a lot of projects and had a lot of heartbreak and disappointment but

a lot of success to a lot of success too yeah you're on curb i am going to be on curb this season who do you play. i don't know much as i play richard lewis his girlfriend. and i have it honestly that was a day where i remember driving to the set the first day of shooting where i literally was just in my car going is this my life like this is so exciting i mean he is just give you the outline right they give you the outline you know you don't really know what's going to happen it's improv is my background so it's my dream oh it's what i've sort of modeled my shows on and it was just amazing it was great are you a comedian who. does funny things so i have to choose what i do i would say probably any actress with a comedic bent nature yeah i came from the groundlings and then i did stand up but

i always acted throughout it so i would say probably actress in the comedy world other just good to be president veep i auditioned. i. went in and i met julia and improvised with her and they didn't tell me what it was for they said it was it was all fake size fake audition material fake script and i saw that she was supposed to be. potentially hispanic i was like i'm not as bannock so i sort of improvised that i had married a hispanic person and was sort of using it as a thing and she and i read the scenes and then we improvised and then they had me do a cold reading of a speech like kind of a big speech and i was like this is where you know i'm out for this senator why would the senate whatever and then i got the role and then they tell me what it was for or is it like working with amazing she is she's somebody again i would say larry david and julia louis dreyfus are two people that i try to think about when

i'm doing my own show. she's not only just as everyone knows so talented and knows her craft so well like children i want to try one little thing and then she'll try this small thing and it tweaks it and all the sudden it just sings but as a producer she's so smart she's so involved she sets a good tone on the set she just is everything you'd want her to be and more i am such a big fan how do you not break up you know what i am i don't know why i have a weird ability not to laugh during takes no matter what is happening i'm able to keep a straight face and then assume as someone else cut i literally fall on the floor laughing no you're showing no you run the show i coast show run it with a woman named joe east layman but you've got a group that are rated. to macquarie and n.b.c. shamberg our executive producer they're all executive producer how did you get them involved and i'm sorry i've done a lot of stuff without mckay and welfare all started with step brothers i was in

and played therapist and then i did a comedy tour with him and then they also developed another show that i developed a comedy central and i did the house that just came out and sleeping with other people so i have a long history with them so they have an exact producer jessica alba who started sort of the female more side of their production company because they're called gary sanchez and she started something called gloria sanchez the female side and. so she she's an old friend of mine and she and i developed this show together so she is the person that i deal with the most over there and well and out of have always just been super supportive and then samberg and the lonely island guys they had a deal to shoot presentations and because i had shot art because they develop so many scripts before in the past i was like i want to shoot something this time i want to shoot a small segment of what i want this to be that has the tone that shows exactly what i'm talking about and they had a deal for me to be able to do that so that i connected with them so what can we do

we can actually call you a success story described later your i wish i'd like to think that overcomes very good years i've overcome a lot of failures i'm sure there will be more failures and one of the excesses was just because if you're a creative person not all of it's ever going to work you have to embrace the people who go oh when you do stand up and then the scariest thing in the world like now as soon as you embrace that bombing doesn't matter more of silence is not a big deal it's going to change the way. curb your enthusiasm was going to be very exciting many of them shot i'm only in one eye only and i just do one yeah richard lewis is good gracious that was his girlfriend i have a some really fun scenes with larry. and it was a true highlight of my career yes it was social media questions for a boy literally mary tweets favorite comedian. terrible favorite but i would say like growing up lucille ball was my number one

influence that's probably that made it even a thing like a woman can be funny. and then now i. have so many friends that are funny but surely dreyfus and larry david are pride to me like joining rivers love joan rivers betty white i used to be obsessed with the match game the old match game and i mean it had brett summers and it had fanny flag and patty to wait and all of these hilarious women and old double entendres all double entendres they were all drunk and dirty and god only knows what richard dawson just sexually harassing everybody was a delay. limiter on osu tweets how do you go from cornell studying government and war to s q it's a fair question that's a fair question i was a pre-law. at cornell i was very academic for seven time and. realized there was also this other weird sort of more subversive side of me that

was always fighting with the realistic this is the you know intelligent responsible thing to do and decided to get into acting in comedy but then melded been together in the writing producing and then ask you larry because i'm sure you're wondering what is good at it so there's an episode in my show where in real life a friend of mine they set up our mutual friend with their preschool teacher of their child and they went out and then we found out from our friends who are going out with her that she liked. him putting ice up her butt and licking it out and so this was a thing that we now all knew about this preschool teacher and they had to keep dropping off their child every day with innocent woman and then sort of as cute nickname to ask you from ice cubes you're a weird girl oh i look normal but i'm weird yeah where you grow up in l.a.

born and raised in the mountain cornell i went to cornell yeah i know or above co you guys waters. crazy spice boy what is your most beautiful memory of the sweet valley high t.v. series or was that i was one of my first jobs based on this we got a high books i played were not a vargas the brazilian exchange student i think i was twenty four playing sixteen year old in the high school team show. i fear remember i wore a lot of fruit on my hand. them around yeah i was from brazil but the writers would throw in references from spain mexico brazil chile didn't really matter i talked about burrows and burritos and voodoo and amazon jungles and had for it on my head there was a real it was a real disease all going to come on day what's her most embarrassing moment in life . oh god my most embarrassing moment in life. i've

actually don't get embarrassed very easily for some reason the one thing that's coming to me. sort of a weird story when i was in i had gone from sixth grade and started a new school in seventh grade and it was the get to know you like to day trip that we took and i decided to perform in the talent show even though i didn't know anybody at the school and i decided to perform a routine from a dance i had done where i had a very small part in the dance but the song went on forever and i just really was lying on the ground for most of the song and then only just performed a small part that i performed so it was just a strange choice but that was a big i felt comfortable we do it is one of the readily accept you know i don't know i was not what we played the game of you only knew i just sort of course ok which guilty pleasure. sugars sugar sour candies person you trade places with for a day donald trump. really you want to be pro you want to really well no i

just feel like even if i had twenty four hours maybe i could you know get changed on secret talent. i have an ability to change song lyrics in regular songs into dirty lyrics pretty easily you have a dirty money and write oh yeah a little bit why did funny i just cubes isn't dirty why i didn't put ice up my butt this was this preschool teacher you have a thought about i thought about it but as i say on my show i don't like the channel was the weirdest job you've ever had. when i was sixteen i worked in a mortgage lending bank. real mai-ling and just summer job but what was weird is they actually for some reason had me call people who were delinquent on some of their payments and i don't know why they were allowing a sixteen year old to be you good at that i think i was you know what would never fails to make you laugh my friends i'm very funny friends if you want to not do

what would you be. i probably would have continued down the law school route i probably would've gone that way was the best compliment you ever got your great mother who was your daughter. said one trust your husband's an agent he's an agent but again a very lovely person big agency and a big agency represents a six. zero percent you he does not know i'm not big enough for him something you wish you were better at. being meet i'm pretty messy and tell me something people don't know about you. something people don't know about me i'm pretty open i have two web toes. two i've a web house situation on one foot really kind of cuter than thank you yeah people are really notice it right away and then i point out that it's kind of cute little sign everybody does you're
