well the wrong missy will dive into that title it's an interesting story though but i'm telling you i laughed like 15 types in this movie or lapis next on dennis miller plus one. hey folks welcome to dennis miller plus one we're joined today. well i feel i feel full throated on the interview as i just watched it and she made me laugh uproariously lauren lapin to the film is the wrong missy which is currently streaming on netflix the spade you also know are for real on the hit netflix show orange is the new black and the h.b.o. series crashing but this is what i just saw her and she killed me you know when when my wife and i would watch mike myers or anybody who truly could make us laugh or ben stiller owen wilson when they're in zoom lens or together i said what makes
11:31 pm
you laugh the most i mean 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 resume is the same or very 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 then and say here i 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 gay eggs i mean as if it's not enough fun to do that movie i assume i mean they're still early hours and that being in hawaii seems like a bit of a gas right. away i can't really complain when i get to it or if it is and then i mean it was it wasn't it was a fun time for sure. for those of you don't know the conceit well why why should i spoil it it's a it's a mixed identity thing i wanted to explain to the people who get to see it
11:32 pm
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 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 in 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 in a bar to when he gets the texting thing confuse i i thought the director of the great
11:33 pm
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 call very just what a laugh my ass off that's what the scope was making me do thank you yeah 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 adam sandler guesses has a deal with 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 denied it and when some of the regular team shows by the rob schneider was of solely to stick it. in the
11:34 pm
film was the vote. what a demented scene. yeah he was 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 he's great he's a super funny guy. you know lorne i know that a lot of people of your generation and you're a youngish gal 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 it but my gosh dumb acting with them and making them laugh. it's so surreal i truly i loved s n l growing up in that era was my favorite and so to be able to work with them i 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
11:35 pm
it already i actually 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 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 it's like it's so crazy yet she's awesome. i didn't even know i'll be honest that adam's wife acted then when i start turning up on those i said wow she's got killer chop she was really going to ask yeah yeah i
11:36 pm
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 other 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 god so then what i was at a set a lawrence 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 at ages next thing i know they're populating the office back there and like you said to find out that they did such a bound earth guy you know when i 1st met him i thought my god he's just hammering the i need it so i need to catch a breath here but he's going to ask hart's was in
11:37 pm
a yeah he does he does he's just a really good guy and 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 not just like i meet that humor all the time. he's just really great yeah i was there 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 that was doing the oscar thing which one i was and 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 earth and it said best supporting actor and he just flipped them all off the magnetic board so who cares and the thing the next we had to remember that you had a mother and i must the somebody slipped me pay o.t. or something. so the genic that i'm with this guy right. now i happen to know that when people say to me who's who makes you laugh there's
11:38 pm
a lot of communities 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 of just how very very good 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 schemer to this in the way that i you know when i 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 a good report so i was really really happy for that because it can be a lot when you're working with someone for
11:39 pm
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 back 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 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 killing you must the 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 and people and it's true i mean i 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
11:40 pm
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 along side david 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 stuck in a holding pattern so look everything freeze 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 in this movie it was really. it was a star making performance a good for you you must be excited what a good spectator and you know yes i did so nicely it is and that means a lot i truly very bizarre to have this happen during. quarantine when can even go
11:41 pm
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 that 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 a big hit yeah that was it was really really exciting that was you know 2000
11:42 pm
maybe 13 that i got cast not show and it was really exciting because netflix didn't have any shows at that time 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 worn but. that's a great story and. it would have been a nice episode were talking to her and 5 as i said i just glimpsed her in the wrong
11:43 pm
bessie her unspayed like stare at rogers with with the lapse absolutely killed it and when we come back we'll talk about where she starts i think she's been indiana illinois girl and we'll find out how you go from there to netflix and all places in between with lauren left it's right after this on dennis miller plus one. yes. you are. you going.
11:44 pm
11:45 pm
remember the just can stuff it up with if they didn't feel that oh. antarctica is a very international community. media used to try to flee. to this guy who confessed this study says need to eat. those who pushed them that they were good news for the business for their nuclear cooperation is everything because he was polluted with it in front of t.v. with. the. 5 they have and with a fact because they either decided not to take his place. with i gave you that.
11:46 pm
hey folks welcome back to dennis miller plus one and we are joined today by the like full lauren leftists and 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 digit 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 seek improv classes that improbable empiric 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
11:47 pm
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 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 acim prov and i'd say don't larn i write jokes and i'll be the news guy i can't 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 a limb picks did you get that lightbulb moment where it's not about trying to be funny it's about staying real and pushing it forward oh man i think fairly early on
11:48 pm
because the way they teach really stresses that. just listening and 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 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 later did during the you see be that great system for gay and their motto is don't think which really
11:49 pm
goes hand in hand with that of just the 2nd you start to think that kind of plan we're going to do it just going to. it's dead dead 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 a comedy club but lauren would say something and they have such an ease with each other that i was half laughing the. how unthreatened i felt that they were going to try too hard it was going to go horribly or something liberating about. rewards whether x. at all or it freed me up to just dig 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 watch people who are really good at it you don't feel that that stress because there's just this comfort that
11:50 pm
emanates from the stage you know watching people like t.j. he and. i come in here as i say not t.j. and dave in chicago but they're just amazing davis ways either like amazing performers who are just so effortless that you feel like it's a play that was written years ago they'd be made them 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 feeling 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
11:51 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 court galaxy. yeah i would have 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
11:52 pm
listen i'm looking to make it good enough to be sheepish about it there are times 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 sardonic but i was one of those kids who was doing hells of pop and in the rec room when i was in puberty but what about 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
11:53 pm
jokes at school and. so there's like a in that internal thing you have going on where you're judging yourself but it 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 wouldn't do that but. now i can see you're blending in the emblem on your t. shirt in the light ly lack paint over your shoulder it's a very restless 5. yeah i know many of those things are really color experts and i can just see your comfy in your home you know we're in a war laugh because in the films the wrong missy was spotlessly spotlight david spade over on netflix given to watch her lapse another good thing i found about
11:54 pm
l.a. as i was too whiny when i 1st started and l.a. was so cut 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 rhino skin pretty quickly where i thought i can't go out every day get wrecked the bought the stuff if 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 that about yourself to. yes and it's it is 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
11:55 pm
a no until proven otherwise and that tends to make me feel better because i just can kind of like work hard on it go in the room do the audition and then let it 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 pil t. and sample the sikh 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 now i 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
11:56 pm
a lot like the guy i'm sure. you know that every morning. it was good because i've never been closer. yet i'm going to go there and. it's sure i've definitely had a lot of bear saying moments like that were just like kicking yourself on the way home and you just have to like 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 paris 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 i always still always think adam and chris farley and david are
11:57 pm
like the funniest i love all their old movies now to be 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 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 shares you know it's like the opposite of the running with scissors guys and. it's brutal isochron to been this brutal but it's a bear or is it always rang morewood up badly would be like the somebody had. sort of a clever functional family but with their own that falls 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
11:58 pm
one of the reasons is i can't wait to see you fronting your next next blix film because you killed this what david spade and lauren lapis the wrong mystique currently streaming on netflix and we're all stuck again and this will make you feel i'm just stuck for a night uproariously funny when you talk to your friends thank you it's nice talking to you thank you so much. right nice to see. this even dennis miller on a low. right yet a lot of other smart things to save. their songs i also write about him. as her. husband you take interest in finding interesting him. this goes along really just your best team in there but it's still
11:59 pm
. a no you got desires in the house and i'll. be transported to st james. p.c. and in america a nice texas thank you nice difficult she loved this prison for 44 years. in minutes she wanted to go she would be and was a mission to be she read it was. she. drop sleepy. when you're going to. get out though i think that thing is my look of the car getting me out and i am a well meaning they say and. i am. i know be someone. who you know i'm going to. be like this.
