every single culture on earth has prohibitions against kill. at the same time virtually every culture on the earth whom rewards you enormously if he was killed the right person one setting it is the most horrendous down watching singing match in the world and in another setting is a little wondrous thing that they will give you a medal for the people who vote through you because of that the people will meet with you because you're good into going that's what i'm saying.

hey folks welcome back to dennis miller plus one we are joined by one of my dear dear friends and i love with all my heart in both truly. i would well like us my some of my favorite people in the world and by the way john i was talking about when i've been following you a little this quarantine although heavy on the heart for our fellow citizen ray i know you're up there playing like lorne greene dan blocker michael leonard personnel roberts and laurel hops a throne and just taking care of the ponderosa on a day to day basis are if. i'm doing it all i mean i know they're. fixing split rail fence. i'm out there doing the. weeding of the i do this this beautiful i've spent about

a week building this beautiful white oak desk to get the very desk and move up and down ok i'm going to order one of those maybe i can make it if i get some stuff around here in the barn. by the way john you can but also with the vera does get a bear a chair the moves in 10 with a desk so you're always seated no matter what happens now what your day to day like you get up at 6 in the morning you're out in the fields you're. stuck. gosh your ocular or. wow dogs get out there about 7 o'clock who makes us some coffee i get out there we have 3 horses feed the horses i get in there muck the stuff she goes and makes a little breakfast i am out about 11 o'clock and. we've got a garden going we have about 16 tomato plants going how i get out there i water

spray on it i have some seedlings growing too that i'm going to plants. and then i'm going to out all through them fall for a little bit give those a little exercise then i'll start walking around seeing what i've got to do and since we had so much rain here it's a ton of weeding i get out we have about 10 acres i guess something like that. i get on net that lot i'm over about 2 times a week 2 hours i'm on that thing doing all the yard in there in the fields i mean it's you know there's no we really don't have any help we have a pool we've got a great who you know fifty's on the poor guy i say on top of that we don't have really one person that comes in and helps us do the thing i do do it all. you know all the women on the grapevine who said aiden's and then in smaller class on the damp turn again they tune in and you've got that c.p.a. suit coat on from the sixty's and you're talking about weeding and driving your

mower and all day it's quite a. quick to do for them what way they were proceeding you before they. would start your than exposure johnnie because when i look back on that show very infrequently to somebody change the meter and the mill you weren't so corky remember 30 something had some 5 like that you know show the number around periodically they just sort of break le template what are your memories of getting the northern exposure when it becomes mega hot tell me about the run my friend. life changing i was the one in the audition susie had 0 on there i did one up so the wonder years in 1988 little guest star nothing else on the resume and this is 2 years later i was really close to giving up acting because nothing was happening and you know you have to make a living and i was about 27 years old i guess and i and i did a jack in the box commercial and somebody from universal saw me on it called me in

and for callbacks later i was on a plane i was living in interleukin lake a little cartman i was on a plane to seattle to live for the next 14 years i mean it really that one audition changed my life we we got up there they put us in these little boat. you know houses with you know dishes and forks and knives for the 1st season so we all lived together through a fish in the apartment and we really got to bond and know each other robin morrow jean turner ameri corps bennett john cullen well i mean we're literally next door to each other and. and we're all you know none of us knew seattle's who were all of any outskirts of seattle about 45 minutes outside of the city and it was just great where are our studios in an old shoe warehouse that they converted and nobody knew what this thing was you know we were trying to figure out i think the 3rd episode and we kind of realized it was a it was

a dark comedy you know he cuz. it was just so weird and quirky but raw market was playing this doctor so straight and nobody was really going for laps it was just it was. when people responded the way they did it sort of blue is the whole way you know it people liked it as much as we certainly do because i happens in this business now i know it happens that you do things you do pilots that you love and just think everyone's going to love and it's just thumbs down so you know it's very cool for it to go like yeah headquarters the rhythms and i always thought of us when i see the office and i watched the great comedy actor and seems like a cool guy john is his name presence here because in ski that cat you were sort of the that guy. time because you always came off with such a a cool manner when i used to watch the show here's the thing i want to read this cat's like you seem so cool and it was a huge hit but i think it burned pretty brightly but not for it wasn't a it was

a gunsmoke run was it johnny how long. we had 5 i think we have 5 seasons but 2 the seasons were only episodes each and the other 2 were probably 20 episodes so. you know a product you know maybe under 100 shows but here's the reason why you'll never see it again because of the music the music there is so much music in the shows they can afford to play it now because they have to pay so much you know in those royalties even the videos they put the videos out and they just put our stock music on was turned ruined the show because part of it another character like the 5th beatle was the music that they that they picked for this show is fantastic and that's why you know people has no time how come we don't see in reruns that's the main reason that's why underwear hollywood ascap all those things they keep tabs that if you wrote it you're getting paid somewhere along the way even if it was 20

years ago let's take it over to the you must think i don't know what happens after that solver but maybe or think i don't know do i get a big plate appearance again and then an even bigger thing comes along section the city absolutely huge yeah so the exposure ends in 95 then about 5 years pass and nothing really happens i do want to do pretty bad t.v. movies and i'm still living in seattle some way from the business and you know get a little older i guess maybe $36.00 or so now and. i get an offer to come to new york and be on the show with sarah jessica parker who i liked. from watching as an actress but i don't like the show they sent me a couple this video cassettes and you know it's all the jokes and this is not something that i was into i know it's on the air and people are liking it but i didn't like it so i said no. i wasn't interested in being part of because my mom at

that time was everything i do it was slightly embarrassing and i had to be naked in the 1st episode and i just passed and they said fine but then week later they said look sarah just you want to come to. see her just going to come to new york just she just wants you to meet or take a trip to new york it's a free trip 1st class so that's what i did i have some friends in new york i said ok i'll go do that and i showed up at her house and she was with michael patrick king and i believe darren star was there down in the village and they talked me into it because she was so charming and it was it would have been one of my biggest regrets if i said no to that thing so it's just it was a pleasure man it was so much fun to be in new york and now i'm on this show that is not about the you know the outback i couldn't be here you know i went from a to z. i now i'm just you know in the greatest city of all and i'm on the greatest show at

that time that's 2000 that you could you know talk about saturday nights must watch it was crazy. you know when from aiden and i tell you what it was a good move for your brand johnny because i remember one time we were up in twin falls member we're escaping that forest fire and we get to 20 falls and we stopped at a sonic i remember we went into the counter and there's like 5 young ladies workaday you know just gals bit gals of all of a sudden all you hear from the back is. i just remember thinking boy that is a role that's going to stick with him for a long time and yet was providence attended i've taken it thank god sarah was so charming. so charming i got a free milk shake out at sonic 2 i remember jokily. i love her pastor. that that girl is what he if you want to talk about. entertainment tonight and

behind the scenes in who's got egos and who doesn't who's a diva she is a working hero mind that chick on that show was 1st there in the morning after work and we all went home should go to a studio and do you know she she did monologues voiceover over all of those episodes i mean she worked so hard she lunged with the crew every day which is unheard of for you know if you were going to movie there's a big star there say like tommy lee jones you'll never see that do have a lunch with 100 people she was just the greatest. well listen nerve frayed tommy lee said that the crew table because people might think the caterers brought in dodger dogs for lives you never know. let's take some social media questions jay burt we got a bunch of them on we said you were coming on. on facebook as i can't

predict this answer because sometimes the biggest thing to you is not the biggest thing what's your favorite role over the course of your career it's a role nobody ever saw me do i did a little play it's a reader community college called here's this little impulse when i was just figuring out all about this acting and we probably played it you know 25 times for 200 people and it was just a great great play i've never been able to i'm never been able to grab. out of the ether those feelings that i felt when i did that play from from any role but if i had to name one that has been filmed it would definitely be the movie tombstone even though i have 3 or 4 lines in that movie i got to spend 4 months out in arizona with. bill paxon who became such

a good friend and carranza like you over most of the movie and sam elliot jason priestley thomas a church i mean just it was we were 4 months in 1992 the summer of. 1902 in a holiday and in tucson arizona and it was the man show. who is in the show in a couple other girls but it was holiday and bar after filming every night it was probably like we're done. added me it had to be like that and it was crazy you guys you must of may the rat pack looked like the town elders from footloose i can't even imagine you know i love you johnny you're my man talk at assume we'll break bread when this thing is over thank you buddy i love you all right captain my

greetings and sal you tell you shims want to know all right with country after country nation after nation citizen after citizen on lockdown do its due to stay at home orders all around the world for many their only real connection to what's going on in the world outside their own neighborhoods and communities comes from the television news and online and print journalism they consume but given the partisan and carnival nature of the ratings and click hungry united states news media going into this pandemic many were as you can imagine.
