6:30 pm
one when my wife and i would watch mike myers or anybody who truly could make us laugh or ben stiller owen wilson were there in zoom lens or together i said what makes you love the most about it she said when somebody just doesn't care how far out they're going to push it and it's as we're watching the rog resumes and so eerie i just thought this girl is going to push this as far as a can go made me loud uproariously thank you so much since 09 see 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 gigs as of it's not enough fun to do the movie i assume i mean they're still early hours and being in hawaii seems like a bit of a guess right. i can't really complain and i got to see it or seasons and i mean it was it wasn't it was a fun time for sure. for those of you don't know the conceit of well why why should
6:31 pm
i spoil it it's a it's 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 is 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 right he needs 2 women who are both named missy one is a beautiful supermodel played by molly sands and she's a perfect match for ham and the other one is me and i'm 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 tree 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
6:32 pm
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 how many times do you get 15 laugh out loud sort of over you know i mean that's what i'm 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 that's what this film was making me do thank you i feel like that's something that we don't get enough of these days and so it's really it's 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 he makes these films and they're always their most watched things because adam has branded himself at this point as somebody who's going to deliver laughs whether he's in it or whether he's behind it and when some of the
6:33 pm
regular team shows by the rob schneider was absolutely to stick it. in this film was the vote chart what a demented scene. you know he's great and he had to have that fake hand or his fingers were missing and it was just this like mound of fake slash that he was constantly struggling with all day very his he's great he's a super funny guy. you know laura i know that a lot of people of your generation and you're youngish and schneider and spade now 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 you but my gosh though i'm out there with them and breaking them up. it's so surreal i truly i loved s n l 7 growing up in that era was my favorite and so to be able to work with them i
6:34 pm
mean david is someone i've 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 don't 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 you've been mired for a long time and he's so down to earth so i was really relieved because you really never know when you're meeting someone that you know you've you've watched for a long time and what they're going to be like if they're 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 diffuses 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 sweet and wonderful and surely is going to be like it's so crazy yet she's awesome. i didn't even know i'll be honest that adam's life back to the end when i
6:35 pm
start to turn up on those i said wow she's got killer chops she was really good. 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 jerry's famous deli in the valley and some of the comedian i think was rickover 10 but those 3 along and they come in they're all like small they're all diminutive they're all wise as i said this like a sardonic 3 musketeers before yeah. this is the funniest little choice of so then what i was at s n l lorne sort of you heard many of these guys i said i can't speak to their actual are but i had breakfast with one or. the hardest i've left it ages next thing i know they're populating the office back there and like you said to find out that they've had such a downed earth guy you know when i 1st met him i thought my god he's just hammering
6:36 pm
the i need it so i need to catch your breath here but he's going to ask parts was it a yeah that he does he does he's just a really good guy in and so funny and just always i mean he's so funny even when he's not trying to be and i just love people like that who just like and meet that humor all the time. he's 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 didn't 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 the us doing the oscar thing which when i was a you know just out there in that the ask for a watch you get i think that's the coolest funniest cat on the planet and it said best supporting actor and he just flipped them all off the magnetic board so who cares and the thing the next week i do remember thinking of my mother i must the somebody slipped me paoli or something. rude in the genic but i'm with this guy
6:37 pm
right. now i happen to know that when people say to me who's who makes you laugh there's a lot of comedians reg me laugh but i'm talking about right off your side in your ear under his breath with the low rumble spade can just wipe me out and i'm trying to think of the shoot you guys must just how. did we really did and i i'm so grateful that this role was so you know open for me to comicon my own because i think i sometimes can feel like you know intimidated by people like him or i'm like oh i don't think to myself i can really like bring my scheme or to this in the way that i you know want to have roles that are more buttoned up it's 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 i'm i'm 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
6:38 pm
a good reporter so i was really really happy for that because it can be a lot when you're working with someone for a long time and you feel like they don't 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 they'd offer him a kid sitcoms i'd say you should take it he's 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 i'm not sorry i'm just blank you know yes to me and yeah there 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 he's 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 must've 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 you're going to get when you get cast in people and it's true i mean i
6:39 pm
think i've had parts in the past where i just don't i don't 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 it's just so cool to get it out alongside damon and have a kind of tommy boy moment with from my childhood self it's very cool we're talking to lauren lapis in the film is on netflix folks it's the it's the the wrong missy and i'm telling you i know things are weird on there right now everybody's 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 there's a lot of people who could act as an inner ear media area in 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 and this movie was really. it was a star making performance a good for you you must be excited when it gets better and you know yes that's so
6:40 pm
nice of me to say 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 i'll get some jobs after this i hope i hope there is work to come. believe me this is a hold over through the corner and if somebody really wanted to promote a film they would it were 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 i'm 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
6:41 pm
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 didn't have any shows at that time and so i was the one of the 1st ones that was being made and i didn't 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 there's 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. it's 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 at the end of the for the right that's a great story and. it would have been
6:42 pm
a nice effort so we're talking about her and 5 as i said i just glimpsed her in the wrong bessie her unspayed like stare at roger's with with the lapse absolutely killed it and when we come back we'll talk about where she starts i think she's that of us the episode in the end or illinois girl and we'll find out how you go from there to netflix and all places in between with lauren left that's right after this on dennis miller plus one. of their songs i also remember. it was her. husband who was taking interest in finding interesting him but. this goes a long way to traverse to me or if still. you know he not desires you know i sit on. the transporter in mr st james. facing and you know
6:43 pm
miracle in the texas state that means they're calling. this prison for 44 years. in minutes she went you know she you can worship in a mission to be she made it was. she did drugs to be. the millionaire when you're in the land would you think. that a company that i know i think you'd almost think it might look at others are giving me and i'm. not meeting they say i am looking you are nice and i am. going to you piece on lunch recently clean or not clean you know. i mean like this .
6:44 pm
54 jets and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to heal some air force base in alaska where is that to say come on i'll show you what's the reason for any type of enhanced u.s. military presence in this area russia. what is it suddenly about the south china sea that makes it so that it 11000000000 barrels of oil. take a look at this map who really owns what kind of says no it belongs to us india says no we claim that that belongs to us both of these countries have nuclear weapons capabilities there is reason for concern so that's why we're going to drill down on this story for you today right here on the news with rick sanchez where you know as we always like to say we do believe by golly it's time to do news again.
6:45 pm
no crown. no shots. actually felt. no just. switch your thirst for action. you know french philosopher of altair said a lot of smart stuff like the value of all paper my eventually gets to its intrinsic value 0 smart guy right yet a lot of other smart things to say. hey
6:46 pm
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 started in evanston illinois and i'm telling you with your within a stone's throw that point of the tigris and euphrates of improv and 2nd city with del close and all those guys plus stuff and was there when did you get the bite early on the digital aspire to those guys or tell me your story i didn't get it i did when i was in high school i would audition 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 twenty's which felt really crazy to me and i started learning how to do improv and i've been doing it ever since long time probably for the last 15 years
6:47 pm
or whatever so it's 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 adams 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 he'd ask a stamp rob and i'd say don't larn i write jokes and i'll 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 it's not a trying to be funny it's 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
6:48 pm
reacting and being honest and i think you know you you can really feel it when you're doing improv and you are forcing something or really going for a joke or trying to be trying too hard 1 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 didn't know and trying to do something you just start to become fearless with it because you fail over and over again and it's 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 a later day joined you see that racism for gay and their motto is don't think which really goes hand in hand with that of just the 2nd you start to think and kind of
6:49 pm
plant your gut and do it just going to. it's the bed in that moment i used to watch lovett's and phil hartman and they would go up there and literally not know what it was about until you'd make suggestions i don't want to turn it into work. but lauren would say something and they have such an interest with each other that i was half laughing the. whole unthreatened i felt that they were going to try too hard it was going to go horribly or something liberating about. rewards what acts that all of it freed me up to just big what was happening yeah i think that's so true i think people can feel there is there are some people who i think it nervous watching improv because they're like they're not going to know what to do when it's going to be bad and but i think when you like when you want people who are really good at it you don't feel that that stress because there's just this comfort that emanates from the stage you know watching people like teach you to get
6:50 pm
out of ski and. i came in as i say not t.j. and dave in chicago but they're just amazing davis crazy they're like amazing performers who are just so effortless that you feel like it's a play that was written years ago that they've been rehearsing it forever like it just feels so comfortable and it's just fun. now when you're in evanston like you say you're 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. 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
6:51 pm
a year and it was it was great i loved it so much but i been so happy in l.a. it's the next it's a surprise i don't know what to expect about l.a. and when you come from chicago i feel like there's these a lot of stereotypes about l.a. that it's like so superficial and you know all that stuff that people say and some of that's true but it's all about who you surround yourself with and i i think i didn't 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 core gelati. yeah we had 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 was i always i was felt that everybody out there the unspoken dialogue was listen i'm looking to make it good enough to be sheepish about it there are times
6:52 pm
when i'd be at other places i'd say oh i don't want to look like i want to go for this that or i don't want to be this what act i got everybody hears in place so you don't have to know it's true it's true i mean if there's something really comfortable about that but like you just know it we all have the same dream and it's 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 it's 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 there's like a in that internal thing you have going on where you're judging yourself but it
6:53 pm
doesn't come across that way so i think it was kind of built in and when i started doing children's theatre that was where i found that i really liked being on stage and being funny but there's such a difference for me between how i am when i'm 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 it's like i can go in from these strangers and. something really crazy and then at home i probably went to that but. now i can see your blending in the emblem on your t. shirt in the light ly lack paint over your shoulder it's very rest of 5. yeah i know none of those things are really color experts and i can just see your comfy in your home you know we're in a war lapis and films are wrong missy was spotlessly spotlight david spade over on netflix given to watch her lapse another good thing i find about l.a. is i miss too whiny when i 1st started and l.a.
6:54 pm
was so cut and dry about the things you get sent out for that i started it 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 can't go out every day get wrecked the bought the stop the do it or don't do it but don't get this vested in it that it screws you up when somebody says no did you find out about yourself through. yes and it's it is ringback 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 it's just it can really knock you down but i think you know you i've developed this mentality with auditions that the 2nd it's done i just don't 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 don't really need someone to directly tell me no i can just assume it's a no until proven otherwise and that tends to make me feel better because i just can kind of like more current on it go in the room do the audition and then let it
6:55 pm
go and and maybe in you know sometimes audition they don't they don't tell you for a few months that you've got a job so if you're thinking about it the whole time you're going to hate your life so there's just no point. i remember once i read for a movie called the dream team it was about a guy was like mike murphy and the guys are scaping for a day from the mental institution like cuckoo's nest this 100 went to met stadium i read for the 1st part it was only played by the very great actor brad dora and he's very silty and samp seek and he plays somebody who's on the spectrum at that point i don't think the phrase exists i play that part and i remember the guy says 9 want you to read for said tino let's 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 tino reading is going to be a lot like the guy. that every morning.
6:56 pm
it was good because i've never been closer. yet i'm going to go there if. it's true i've definitely had a lot of beara saying moments like that were just like kicking yourself on the way home and you just have to try to forget as soon as possible just forgive yourself yeah. we got some questions for you on social media when we said you were coming on lauren and robert gordon on facebook so 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 are my favorites growing up and as i got older and he said harris was someone that i have always admired i think she's incredible. always makes me laugh so much amy poehler 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
6:57 pm
a fly on the wall at the so there are sources for dinner i always think that can you know the national. or something i really love it even if there is so much and i just eat it up whenever he writes about 6 his family especially when he names who is like you know talking about amy and talking aggression on his siblings like it's just so fascinating i think they're amazing. yeah david sedaris always surprises me it has twists and turns in the family trauma and it turns out being like running with pinking shears you know it's 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. it's sort of a clever functional family but with their own pitfalls well listen i can't wait till later there are a myriad of reasons why i can't wait for this quarantine to be over but one of the one of the reasons is i can't wait to see you fronting your next next flicks film
6:58 pm
because you killed this one david spade and lauren lapis the wrong missy currently streaming on netflix so we're all stuck in and this will make you feel i'm stuck for a night uproariously funny when you talk to your friends think you know it's nice talking to you thank you so much. right nice to see a. woman dennis miller on a low. the arrest and charging of glenn maxwell that you're free and sovereign states needs turkey what about the timing and the specific indictments what kind of defense can be expected is a deal in the cards will justice be served. time after time corporations repeat the same mantra sustainability very important it's
6:59 pm
accelerating transitions to sustainable transport sustainability stay in her manner more equitable and sustainable well. they claim their production is completely hama's. because. it does not the companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away and this is something else this must be going to mean and i mean look. this is the move in unison we didn't dream and einstein seemed to understand it so when. you know french philosopher of altair said a lot of smart stuff like the value of all paper my eventually gets to its intrinsic value 0 smart guy right and yet a lot of other smart things to say are. we
