Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, how did jud feel about you say that to
his wife?
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Funny story, didn't know it was his wife at.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Hello. I'm jack Oline Coley. Welcome to this special episode
of Scene on the Screen, brought to you by Naked
Universal and Rotten Tomatoes, where we talk movies with some
of the people behind the scenes at NBC Universal. My
guest today is Craig Robinson, star of the new DreamWorks
animation film The Bad Guys Too. You'll hear which famous
(00:34):
line Craig improvised in the movie Knocked Up, How is
mom instilled a love of music in him at an
early age, and which of mister Sharks disguises is his favorite?
Mister Craig Robinson, Sarah, Welcome to Scene on the Screen.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I'm so excited as I was telling you a little
bit earlier. I just last night I watch Bad Guys.
First of all, I wish I would have seated sooner
because it's absolutely hysterical. Your mister Shark is a scene
stealer to everything you do. But I'd love for you
to talk a little bit about how you got involved
in the project and just again getting to have another
incredible voice performance.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
My manager and I were called over the dream Works
and they actually pitched us this movie that was showing
the sketches and you know who they were thinking about
for the cast. And you know the director, Pierre, he's
from Paris. Yeah, and you know he's telling me about it.
It was just you know, French accent. He's so passionate,
(01:34):
so passionate, and and I was just sitting there like,
you know, you had me a hello. But they but
they went through everything and uh and I was I
was on board, you know right away. I loved it.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I love it too. And the one thing I think
is interesting is obviously folks know you from so many
things that you've done, but you're you know, comedian originally
and a musician, and I think, like with voice animation,
the hardest part of that is the fact that, like
you don't have an audience other than the director, but
you still got to get it. Talk about what is
it like for you in the booth? How do you
how do you get there to bring out mister shark.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Well, it's a collaborative process. So you got the director,
you got the producers, and we're just really making each
other laugh and you know the line will be there,
I'll do the line a few times, and then I'll embellish.
Then I'll just start going off, and then they'll catch
something and go okay, and you know, they'll get ideas
and it goes back and forth like that for a
(02:31):
very long time.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
All right, mister master of disguise? Do you think I
promise to play you?
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Respect that? Where's am my Flowers? And then this probably
happens all the time. Actually, you get warm, you know,
you find a character and you go back and record
the stuff you did in the beginning.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
What's your favorite part, because I mean folks have seen
you in a ton of stuff, I mean stuff that
you did with seth obviously going back even to on
NBC with The Office, what is your favorite part about
doing animation and that you don't necessarily get to do
when you're on stage with comedy or behind the piano
or you know, doing a performance on screen.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
It's a freedom running place or what stomp your feet,
you know whatever, But it's it's just you really battling
with yourself which line you want to come out with.
So there's an extra layer of freedom that you don't
have to you know, you're not constrained to acting with others.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
I think it's so funny too, because I mean, I
don't know if other people would say, but I would say,
I feel like you're really an NBC universal person. I
mean going back to the office and then of course
you had the show killing it, and now you're back
with the bad guys. I feel like NBC is like,
they gotta keep they got to keep calling you back in.
And I do feel like there's something to be say
(03:48):
for like when you make projects here. I do think
it's like what you said with DreamWorks, they really welcome
you in as a collaborator. Talk a little bit about that,
because I think you've had a lot of great memories
on this lot.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Absolutely, it's been a beautiful for Ride and NBC. It's
funny you say that because as a producer a long
time ago, like you know, the office was was cooking.
Maybe we're four or five years in and Uhuce, she
was like, I want you here for the next eleven years,
and I was okay, And you know, and I think
(04:18):
we've passed.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
That a little bit and a little bit.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
So yeah, it's it's great, you know, And you know,
I don't know if it just happened. I don't I
think somebody's at NBC University, like get Robinson, but it
has wonderfully worked out like that.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
This is kind of a fan girl moment from because
I think you get this, but like, yes, of course
I'm obsessed about the Office. But also like again, anything
you've done with Seth Rogan, I've also loved it, Like
and you've done some of my favorite lines, Like basically
anything you said to Kelly on the Office was like
something that I was like, I want a boyfriend to
say that to me, or anything that you said.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Just your crazy side.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Sorry, you know, I mean, sorry to be a little PG,
but take your patties off. Epic song. You know, what's
your favorite line that you've gotten to do either you know, animated,
live action, because so many of yours are my favorite.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Zakimer Makaporno, Ybbles.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Her name Bubbles.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah, Solo never had sex with Princess Lea in the
Star Wars. It was just so ridiculous the way I
would sit because I had to say it like a
thousand times because everybody had to get their coverage. That's
just come back.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Han Solo never had Hansolo never had sex with Star Wars. Yeah,
in the Star Star Wars.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I did it.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
I wonder if Harrison Ford has seen that line. He
has to. I want to know that, Harrison, if you're
watching it, just let us know. I think you know,
I think he's probably seen it. That was lovely, Thank
you for that. We're now going to dive into some
other things that maybe you've seen on the screen with
our popcorn buckets. So these are going to be quotes
from films that you probably recognized. WHOA that person has
(06:04):
really got him or herself into quite a predicament. That's
Zach and Mary No Office. That's but it's late, It's
it's I said that, Yes, this is you. This is
late in the show though, this is like very late
in the show. I think so. Yeah, I think so
because it was like I think Angela was finally he
was finally figured out that she was still Dwight, And
(06:26):
it was that when people come up to you for
the office, do they want you to say things from it?
Or do they want and what is the thing that
they want you to say? Because Unleasha crazy sign like
that good?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
You know what people want me to say? Times I
think I seen to it or to be random lines
and every getting their video ready. Hey, could you just.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Oh, I need to say that. I thinkeed it the meme.
Oh my god, your face has been so all over
the internet for that one. Everywhere. I honestly that's just
black people saying though too. But like it was crazy,
can be I seen it? No, I seen it. It
wouldn't be the scene on the screen to be the
saint on the screen. Sorry, y'all, they're gonna kick me
(07:07):
out if I do that. Moving on, I can't let
you in because you're oldest fuck for this club, you know,
not for the Earth.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I can't let you in because your oldest fuck for
this club, you know, not for the Earth. Yeah, that
was that was an improvised line.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Well, how did Judd feel about you saying that to
his wife?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Funny story, I didn't know it was his wife. If
I did, it would have been a whole other scene.
But come right in, you know, so.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
So you had met Leslie man like that?
Speaker 2 (07:41):
My boy, Thank god I didn't know, because.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Honestly, I'm glad that you were that. I mean, he
wrote it for too, like he wrote the scenario. He
just told you to, you know, go right ahead.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
I can't let you in because you're old as fuck
for this club, not you know, for the earth what.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
So that was knocked up. Jud Apatow another person who's
had a long history with universal partnership through comedy and
everything that they did and knocked up I think was
that first one.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
It was a wild time because I was, you know,
I was broken stuff and I was performing my act
in Vegas and the scene shot on Friday. But Vegas
is Monday through Sunday, so I had to take off
the day in Vegas and then fly back and forth
and I was flying stand by. So I'm hoping I
(08:32):
made it, you know all but everything worked out just fine.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
I was like, I got you listen blind stand by.
That's risky, No, I need to see it. But you know,
the cash and cash there was a time I could
do that, and that was probably the same time you
were doing it. Actually, I wanted to ask you this
because you are a comedian, and I've noticed this with
so many of you. You were talking about how you're
you know, you're still doing sets right now. I feel
(08:58):
comedians never want to go away from it. Like maybe
you were a singer and now you're an actress, You're like, okay, fine,
I'll be an actress. But comedians it's almost like y'all
are in the gym and you never want to get
out of shape, like y'all always want to get back
on the stage. Is that what it's like?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Yes? Yeah, And uh, my intentas are episode. These jokes
are coming, and as I grow more, I'm learning how
to you know, construct. I really never knew how I wrote.
I just kind of was inspired and kind of you know,
put stuff down and edit here and there. But now
I'm seeing how jokes come together for me, like in
(09:32):
a different ways. It's very Uh, it's thrilling. Actually.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
I mean I think that's why it's really a craft,
because you're talking about it's sort of like being a painter.
As long as you're still getting reps, you're always going
to be learning. And I think that's really great.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
I subscribe to the idea that if you love anything enough,
eventually it will give up its secrets to you. Oh.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Man, I don't know if asking questions is giving up
a secret to me, but I still dig it. Man,
I do I really do art to asking questions? I
hope I'm hoping doing okay, but I really sitting across
from filmmakers and people like you. It is. It is
my Halleluliah Herolind because I just I want to know
I'm inherently nosy and so I've managed to make a
job out of it. It's totally cool. You're inherently funny.
(10:14):
You managed to make a job at it. That's the
way the world works. We're gonna move on to our
next quote. Pop me please, pop me please? Yeah, pop
me please.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
That would be from Bad Guys.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Yes, like with animated stuff. I don't know if it's
little kids. I feel like it's mostly a lot of
parents turn into you being like this is mister shark
and they're like that, ain't mister shark. Have you had
that moment yet where they're like, do the you know,
give me the voice, do me the thing with like
little children who are like that, ain't a shark.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
My cousin was just telling me, she's like, man, I
knew the voice was familiar. And she saw the credit.
She said, oh it was you, And she said I
felt good to tell her kids that, you know, your
relative is be.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Worse if she didn't recognize you. And she just went
the whole movie saw the credit, be like that.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Was him, there's exactly what happen. Oh really she recognized
a voice.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Oh wow, that's funny. Actually, that just means you're an
incredible actor embodied yourself.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
I love that you went to dream Works because I
do feel like that is a magical place, like that
is literally where they make dreams. And you join this
incredible legacy. I mean, this is the people that made Shrek.
They made the Wild Robot, they also made How to
Train Your Dragon just so many other magical stories. But
you also had a voice rolling Shrek, which the DreamWorks
(11:34):
is built by Shrek. That's the house that Shrek felt.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
That was amazing because I was in Shrek forever after.
So it was Eddie Murphy, Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, John Ham,
and it goes on and on, and we did a
press tour or something, and I'm here with all these
like I mean, Eddie Murphy's.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Like, yeah, he's at the guy. Yeah know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
And I just, you know, honored to be a part
of that.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Yeah. And I mean, maybe maybe the old girl make
appearance in Shrek five DreamWorks. He's right here, just say it.
Maybe he's actually in it, and he's just like, shit,
don't say Jimmy.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
People need Jimmy ch.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Jimmy Chang is a good call. Okay, we're gonna move
on to our next set of popcorn questions. You did amazing.
These ones are going to be true or false. Dolomite
is My Name? Was Eddie Murphy's first ever R rated film?
Speaker 2 (12:33):
False?
Speaker 1 (12:33):
False?
Speaker 2 (12:34):
What was forty eight hours?
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Oh yeah, forty eight hours? We wrought it would be
our too, right, Yeah yeah, Beverly Hills Cop is rated
R too. Yeah, I know, coming to America's rated R
because the Royal penis is clean. Sorry, that scene is
not getting past an R rating. Sorry, that's what it was.
That's like the opening scene. That was the scene that
(12:56):
my mother made me leave the theater because I'll never
forget this. My mother was like legitimately upset that we
were at that screening because I was a little baby,
and she was just like, that is not.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
An she was taking to a R rating movie.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Though I don't think she did. I really don't.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
How do you not know that every movie trailer?
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Right? It hard, it's part of the that's what she said. Now,
she could have been lying, but she did take me
out like it was a whole thing. Maybe my dad
bought the tickets. You never know, it was maybe my
dad bought the tickets. And my dad is the Eddie
Murphy fan, so I could actually see that scenario where
he bought the tickets, made it a family night, and
that she, you know, good Christian woman was not having it.
(13:36):
I mean, I'll ask Eddie next time. I'm kidding out
it up. Dolamite is my name. I love that, you
know that film being a part of that, like that
whole vibe because that was a period piece too, Like
I just really loved about and I think every comic
knows about Dolomite because he's sort of like the ultimate hustler,
like I big, every like riding stand By. I mean
like Dolomite's whole existence was riding stand By.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
It was you know, cool to see Eddie do that
and work with him in that capacity, you know, on
Shrek forever after. It was just like, you know, kind
of saw each other in passing because but Dolomite, you know,
I really had to become a better actor because I
have to look at my hero and say these lines,
and all could think about was like, you know, ice
(14:20):
cream and all these bits, you know, going through my
head while I'm trying to say, oh man, it was crazy.
But you know who's like one of the funniest people
on the planet, Keegan Michael Key.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Yeah, he was.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Just having some stitches, you know, during the downtime, just riffing.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Yeah. I mean, y'all can improv like that too, which
I think is so great. But that set was full
of high quality comedians and also high quality actors because
that's what Eddie is, and so he just basically divided
himself throughout the casting of it because I think it's
somebody like that was the first time I saw Davine
and Joy Randolph and then leg she got an Oscar
(14:57):
and I remember seeing her and that would be like, listen,
this is not a spark and you miss her. I
thought she was going to get it for Dolomite, if
you want to tell me down. That was fresh out
of Yale, right after she graduated, and she got that role. Anyway,
shout out to Davin. Uh. Yeah, she's on only murders
left in the building right now too, which is which
(15:17):
is do? Yeah? All right, moving on to our next
true false question. Okay, the Peacock Show Killing. It was
made by the creators of Brooklyn nine nine, Dan Gore
and Luke del Tredici Del Tredici. Thank you true false. Yes, yes,
I love Brooklyn nine nine. You of course had one
(15:38):
of the most memorable arcsaw there, uh Doug Judy, Doug Judy,
you and uh just y'all arguing, you know, like Peralta
and Doug Judy, but also then on the other side
of it, you and Andy Samberg, Like I just it
was like the SNL skit that just kept on giving.
Talk about that for you, because I know it was
(15:59):
probably just one guest star, but then they just kept
bringing you back.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
You know, I think they had a plan for Doug
Judy and they did. Okay, I think that's what happened.
I remember hearing something like that early on son bring
it back next year, when Andy and I would get
to get this. Like you ever see two kids they
don't even know which, tried to come together and they
decide they're going to play, and then they just run
off and they playing. This is what kindergarten is out
(16:23):
there playing and you know, just the handshakes and all
this stuff was just improv right there and just figure
it out. Practice a couple of times, Okay, we're doing that, yes.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Or I also love too that obviously, I think Dan
and Luke had seen what you had done before, but
what you did on Brooklyn nine nine I think proved
to them is like, man, because so many people I
know for a fact, talked about yours. There's tons of
guest stars that come on that show, but like, I
feel like yours is one of the top ones that
people kind of mentioned. So when did they first start
(16:52):
having those conversations about killing it.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Was it on the set of Brooklyn or was it
was towards the end of Brooklyn? I think it is.
Brooklyn was in this last year. Manager and I went
to have a meeting with Dan and then we were
just kind of you know, fireball and stuff, and they
were like, Okay, we're gonna come back with something, and
they came back with three ideas. I can't remember the
other two. I know one of them involved music, and
(17:17):
but one of them was you know, killing the snakes
and stuff and just like and we were all like, well,
we haven't seen anything like that, so let's let's roll
with that one.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Now. I want to see the music one, because you
don't know this is this is a piano. Man over here,
can lay it down. Actually, when did you start learning
to play the piano?
Speaker 2 (17:37):
My mother played as soon as we were born. Man,
we were on a piano.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Wow, that's so cool. Man. Now I came to it late.
I started, like, I started piano lessons at like fifteen,
and I was playing with kids where they were like four,
and I was like, this is not fair.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Because I was at.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
I was a choir girl, so we were I was
basically learning to be my own accompany. That was the
whole thing about it is you want to be able to,
you know, back yourself up, understand your chords. Also, music
theory helps you be a better, you know, overall musician.
But yeah, I was one of the old kids. Why
are you making fun of me, mister Robinson, sir?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Always so interesting?
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Played by six year old Yes, it built it built character.
It built characters because these little prodigies will humble you.
So your mother played. She obviously taught you. Your whole
family she taught us, and then you.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Know, we branched off into different music teachers and have
a degree in music.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Yeah, but then you taught.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Yeah talk kindergarten. Their eighth grade music in Chicago and
Indiana for about three and a half years.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Not to like make this weird crossover, but how has
Quinton that hit you up to come and be the
music teacher on Abbot Elementary? Like honestly, like now that
I'm thinking about this, like you know, she said.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Because we did a show together on those Jimmy Fallon
game shows. Yeah, password she said. They tried to give me,
but you know I was filming, So yeah, I would
love to be on that show.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Okay, Quinta, like, let's get him. You know he's got bad,
bad guys too. But right after that, like I'm unemployed.
That would be such a great episode anyway, I'm sorry,
I'm like literally right in Quincy's show, she's doing just
just fine without me, because.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
It is to see her when she was like comedy.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
What was the thing like with BuzzFeed and stuff. Yeah, no,
he got money girl. Man, I think she's the old
her and Issa and like a few others are like
what I consider when people talk about like if you
were just a creative person, other people will pay attention
because they were just running I think I did a
panel with I was just running my mouth on the
internet and then things happen. And like with Quincy, I
(19:50):
was just making a funny joke about being broken Philly,
and then things happened, and like glad BuzzFeed got her
on her start. But man, the sky's a limit, all right?
That's true or false? The Bad Guys two began development
five months before the first film even hit theaters. Is
that true or false? Yes, you were on it, like
(20:12):
before it even came out. They knew.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Oh I don't know. I was guessing. I thought you
were going to tell me it is true. Okay, that
is so confidently I thought, well that, well know these animations,
it takes time.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
It does take time. What's the weirdest place you had
to record lines for The Bad Guys? Because that's the
other thing too. You could be someplace crazy and they'll
be like, we're gonna get on a zoom, we're gonna
put you in this sound booth, and we just need
you to do this three times.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
I think everything. You know, we always were able to
go to the studio.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Oh you were okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
But you know, sometimes they just need a placement for something,
or just need your voice for something, you know, as
a placeholder. So I'll just be in traffic and you know,
send them a few takes of this or wherever backstage?
You know.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Yes, Okay, I dig that. Well you for guessing you
did amazing. I did want to ask you one more
question about the Bad Guys too, because, similarly to what
you said about Shrek, you don't really hang out with them.
You're doing your stuff kind of solo. Have you gotten
to you know, with Sam, because again, y'all's characters are
so great. Who who on the cast did you get
(21:21):
to know the quickest? Once y'all actually maybe started doing
press together.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Aquafina came to one of my shows soon after. Also,
she was at this thing in Vegas and it was
just her and I presenting the trailer.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
For Bad Guys Cinema con.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Yeah, Cinema con Cinema. Yes, I mean, I guess be
the closest I've grown too, gotten to know.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Hey, another comedian. There you go. You know it's it's
the comics tock together and you.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Know, I'm cool. I've been cool with Mark Miren. You know,
I've been on this podcast for a long time. Mark.
The one time I was supposed to do it but
I completely forgot about it, like one of my he's
an agent now, but at the time he was like
an assistant. But he was like, where are you supposed
to be? I was like, and I will sleep what?
(22:10):
So I apologized profusely and he had me on later.
Speaker 1 (22:13):

Didn't ask this. Do you have a favorite disguise of

I want to watch Patti LaBelle. It's always cut off
on Live on the Sunset strip. You just see that
Patti LaBelle was supposed to be there. I want the
clip of Patti LaBelle performing, like because they did it
together and like, yeah that was she opened I know,
and nobody can see it because they only recorded him.
But it was good enough that he just recorded it.
Doesn't then I know it's okay though. That's a double
(24:16):
bill though, Patti LaBelle, Richard Pryor. I mean, come home anyway, Craig,
Thank you so much, sir, congratulations. I can't wait for
folks to check out the bad guys too.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
August First, you're welcome. Thank you,
Well, how did jud feel about you say that to
his wife?
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Funny story, didn't know it was his wife at.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Hello. I'm jack Oline Coley. Welcome to this special episode
of Scene on the Screen, brought to you by Naked
Universal and Rotten Tomatoes, where we talk movies with some
of the people behind the scenes at NBC Universal. My
guest today is Craig Robinson, star of the new DreamWorks
animation film The Bad Guys Too. You'll hear which famous
(00:34):
line Craig improvised in the movie Knocked Up, How is
mom instilled a love of music in him at an
early age, and which of mister Sharks disguises is his favorite?
Mister Craig Robinson, Sarah, Welcome to Scene on the Screen.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I'm so excited as I was telling you a little
bit earlier. I just last night I watch Bad Guys.
First of all, I wish I would have seated sooner
because it's absolutely hysterical. Your mister Shark is a scene
stealer to everything you do. But I'd love for you
to talk a little bit about how you got involved
in the project and just again getting to have another
incredible voice performance.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
My manager and I were called over the dream Works
and they actually pitched us this movie that was showing
the sketches and you know who they were thinking about
for the cast. And you know the director, Pierre, he's
from Paris. Yeah, and you know he's telling me about it.
It was just you know, French accent. He's so passionate,
(01:34):
so passionate, and and I was just sitting there like,
you know, you had me a hello. But they but
they went through everything and uh and I was I
was on board, you know right away. I loved it.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I love it too. And the one thing I think
is interesting is obviously folks know you from so many
things that you've done, but you're you know, comedian originally
and a musician, and I think, like with voice animation,
the hardest part of that is the fact that, like
you don't have an audience other than the director, but
you still got to get it. Talk about what is
it like for you in the booth? How do you
how do you get there to bring out mister shark.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Well, it's a collaborative process. So you got the director,
you got the producers, and we're just really making each
other laugh and you know the line will be there,
I'll do the line a few times, and then I'll embellish.
Then I'll just start going off, and then they'll catch
something and go okay, and you know, they'll get ideas
and it goes back and forth like that for a
(02:31):
very long time.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
All right, mister master of disguise? Do you think I
promise to play you?
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Respect that? Where's am my Flowers? And then this probably
happens all the time. Actually, you get warm, you know,
you find a character and you go back and record
the stuff you did in the beginning.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
What's your favorite part, because I mean folks have seen
you in a ton of stuff, I mean stuff that
you did with seth obviously going back even to on
NBC with The Office, what is your favorite part about
doing animation and that you don't necessarily get to do
when you're on stage with comedy or behind the piano
or you know, doing a performance on screen.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
It's a freedom running place or what stomp your feet,
you know whatever, But it's it's just you really battling
with yourself which line you want to come out with.
So there's an extra layer of freedom that you don't
have to you know, you're not constrained to acting with others.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
I think it's so funny too, because I mean, I
don't know if other people would say, but I would say,
I feel like you're really an NBC universal person. I
mean going back to the office and then of course
you had the show killing it, and now you're back
with the bad guys. I feel like NBC is like,
they gotta keep they got to keep calling you back in.
And I do feel like there's something to be say
(03:48):
for like when you make projects here. I do think
it's like what you said with DreamWorks, they really welcome
you in as a collaborator. Talk a little bit about that,
because I think you've had a lot of great memories
on this lot.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Absolutely, it's been a beautiful for Ride and NBC. It's
funny you say that because as a producer a long
time ago, like you know, the office was was cooking.
Maybe we're four or five years in and Uhuce, she
was like, I want you here for the next eleven years,
and I was okay, And you know, and I think
(04:18):
we've passed.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
That a little bit and a little bit.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
So yeah, it's it's great, you know, And you know,
I don't know if it just happened. I don't I
think somebody's at NBC University, like get Robinson, but it
has wonderfully worked out like that.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
This is kind of a fan girl moment from because
I think you get this, but like, yes, of course
I'm obsessed about the Office. But also like again, anything
you've done with Seth Rogan, I've also loved it, Like
and you've done some of my favorite lines, Like basically
anything you said to Kelly on the Office was like
something that I was like, I want a boyfriend to
say that to me, or anything that you said.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Just your crazy side.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Sorry, you know, I mean, sorry to be a little PG,
but take your patties off. Epic song. You know, what's
your favorite line that you've gotten to do either you know, animated,
live action, because so many of yours are my favorite.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Zakimer Makaporno, Ybbles.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Her name Bubbles.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah, Solo never had sex with Princess Lea in the
Star Wars. It was just so ridiculous the way I
would sit because I had to say it like a
thousand times because everybody had to get their coverage. That's
just come back.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Han Solo never had Hansolo never had sex with Star Wars. Yeah,
in the Star Star Wars.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I did it.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
I wonder if Harrison Ford has seen that line. He
has to. I want to know that, Harrison, if you're
watching it, just let us know. I think you know,
I think he's probably seen it. That was lovely, Thank
you for that. We're now going to dive into some
other things that maybe you've seen on the screen with
our popcorn buckets. So these are going to be quotes
from films that you probably recognized. WHOA that person has
(06:04):
really got him or herself into quite a predicament. That's
Zach and Mary No Office. That's but it's late, It's
it's I said that, Yes, this is you. This is
late in the show though, this is like very late
in the show. I think so. Yeah, I think so
because it was like I think Angela was finally he
was finally figured out that she was still Dwight, And
(06:26):
it was that when people come up to you for
the office, do they want you to say things from it?
Or do they want and what is the thing that
they want you to say? Because Unleasha crazy sign like
that good?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
You know what people want me to say? Times I
think I seen to it or to be random lines
and every getting their video ready. Hey, could you just.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Oh, I need to say that. I thinkeed it the meme.
Oh my god, your face has been so all over
the internet for that one. Everywhere. I honestly that's just
black people saying though too. But like it was crazy,
can be I seen it? No, I seen it. It
wouldn't be the scene on the screen to be the
saint on the screen. Sorry, y'all, they're gonna kick me
(07:07):
out if I do that. Moving on, I can't let
you in because you're oldest fuck for this club, you know,
not for the Earth.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I can't let you in because your oldest fuck for
this club, you know, not for the Earth. Yeah, that
was that was an improvised line.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Well, how did Judd feel about you saying that to
his wife?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Funny story, I didn't know it was his wife. If
I did, it would have been a whole other scene.
But come right in, you know, so.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
So you had met Leslie man like that?
Speaker 2 (07:41):
My boy, Thank god I didn't know, because.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Honestly, I'm glad that you were that. I mean, he
wrote it for too, like he wrote the scenario. He
just told you to, you know, go right ahead.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
I can't let you in because you're old as fuck
for this club, not you know, for the earth what.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
So that was knocked up. Jud Apatow another person who's
had a long history with universal partnership through comedy and
everything that they did and knocked up I think was
that first one.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
It was a wild time because I was, you know,
I was broken stuff and I was performing my act
in Vegas and the scene shot on Friday. But Vegas
is Monday through Sunday, so I had to take off
the day in Vegas and then fly back and forth
and I was flying stand by. So I'm hoping I
(08:32):
made it, you know all but everything worked out just fine.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
I was like, I got you listen blind stand by.
That's risky, No, I need to see it. But you know,
the cash and cash there was a time I could
do that, and that was probably the same time you
were doing it. Actually, I wanted to ask you this
because you are a comedian, and I've noticed this with
so many of you. You were talking about how you're
you know, you're still doing sets right now. I feel
(08:58):
comedians never want to go away from it. Like maybe
you were a singer and now you're an actress, You're like, okay, fine,
I'll be an actress. But comedians it's almost like y'all
are in the gym and you never want to get
out of shape, like y'all always want to get back
on the stage. Is that what it's like?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Yes? Yeah, And uh, my intentas are episode. These jokes
are coming, and as I grow more, I'm learning how
to you know, construct. I really never knew how I wrote.
I just kind of was inspired and kind of you know,
put stuff down and edit here and there. But now
I'm seeing how jokes come together for me, like in
(09:32):
a different ways. It's very Uh, it's thrilling. Actually.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
I mean I think that's why it's really a craft,
because you're talking about it's sort of like being a painter.
As long as you're still getting reps, you're always going
to be learning. And I think that's really great.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
I subscribe to the idea that if you love anything enough,
eventually it will give up its secrets to you. Oh.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Man, I don't know if asking questions is giving up
a secret to me, but I still dig it. Man,
I do I really do art to asking questions? I
hope I'm hoping doing okay, but I really sitting across
from filmmakers and people like you. It is. It is
my Halleluliah Herolind because I just I want to know
I'm inherently nosy and so I've managed to make a
job out of it. It's totally cool. You're inherently funny.
(10:14):
You managed to make a job at it. That's the
way the world works. We're gonna move on to our
next quote. Pop me please, pop me please? Yeah, pop
me please.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
That would be from Bad Guys.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Yes, like with animated stuff. I don't know if it's
little kids. I feel like it's mostly a lot of
parents turn into you being like this is mister shark
and they're like that, ain't mister shark. Have you had
that moment yet where they're like, do the you know,
give me the voice, do me the thing with like
little children who are like that, ain't a shark.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
My cousin was just telling me, she's like, man, I
knew the voice was familiar. And she saw the credit.
She said, oh it was you, And she said I
felt good to tell her kids that, you know, your
relative is be.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Worse if she didn't recognize you. And she just went
the whole movie saw the credit, be like that.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Was him, there's exactly what happen. Oh really she recognized
a voice.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Oh wow, that's funny. Actually, that just means you're an
incredible actor embodied yourself.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
I love that you went to dream Works because I
do feel like that is a magical place, like that
is literally where they make dreams. And you join this
incredible legacy. I mean, this is the people that made Shrek.
They made the Wild Robot, they also made How to
Train Your Dragon just so many other magical stories. But
you also had a voice rolling Shrek, which the DreamWorks
(11:34):
is built by Shrek. That's the house that Shrek felt.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
That was amazing because I was in Shrek forever after.
So it was Eddie Murphy, Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, John Ham,
and it goes on and on, and we did a
press tour or something, and I'm here with all these
like I mean, Eddie Murphy's.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Like, yeah, he's at the guy. Yeah know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
And I just, you know, honored to be a part
of that.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Yeah. And I mean, maybe maybe the old girl make
appearance in Shrek five DreamWorks. He's right here, just say it.
Maybe he's actually in it, and he's just like, shit,
don't say Jimmy.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
People need Jimmy ch.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Jimmy Chang is a good call. Okay, we're gonna move
on to our next set of popcorn questions. You did amazing.
These ones are going to be true or false. Dolomite
is My Name? Was Eddie Murphy's first ever R rated film?
Speaker 2 (12:33):
False?
Speaker 1 (12:33):
False?
Speaker 2 (12:34):
What was forty eight hours?
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Oh yeah, forty eight hours? We wrought it would be
our too, right, Yeah yeah, Beverly Hills Cop is rated
R too. Yeah, I know, coming to America's rated R
because the Royal penis is clean. Sorry, that scene is
not getting past an R rating. Sorry, that's what it was.
That's like the opening scene. That was the scene that
(12:56):
my mother made me leave the theater because I'll never
forget this. My mother was like legitimately upset that we
were at that screening because I was a little baby,
and she was just like, that is not.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
An she was taking to a R rating movie.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Though I don't think she did. I really don't.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
How do you not know that every movie trailer?
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Right? It hard, it's part of the that's what she said. Now,
she could have been lying, but she did take me
out like it was a whole thing. Maybe my dad
bought the tickets. You never know, it was maybe my
dad bought the tickets. And my dad is the Eddie
Murphy fan, so I could actually see that scenario where
he bought the tickets, made it a family night, and
that she, you know, good Christian woman was not having it.
(13:36):
I mean, I'll ask Eddie next time. I'm kidding out
it up. Dolamite is my name. I love that, you
know that film being a part of that, like that
whole vibe because that was a period piece too, Like
I just really loved about and I think every comic
knows about Dolomite because he's sort of like the ultimate hustler,
like I big, every like riding stand By. I mean
like Dolomite's whole existence was riding stand By.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
It was you know, cool to see Eddie do that
and work with him in that capacity, you know, on
Shrek forever after. It was just like, you know, kind
of saw each other in passing because but Dolomite, you know,
I really had to become a better actor because I
have to look at my hero and say these lines,
and all could think about was like, you know, ice
(14:20):
cream and all these bits, you know, going through my
head while I'm trying to say, oh man, it was crazy.
But you know who's like one of the funniest people
on the planet, Keegan Michael Key.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Yeah, he was.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Just having some stitches, you know, during the downtime, just riffing.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Yeah. I mean, y'all can improv like that too, which
I think is so great. But that set was full
of high quality comedians and also high quality actors because
that's what Eddie is, and so he just basically divided
himself throughout the casting of it because I think it's
somebody like that was the first time I saw Davine
and Joy Randolph and then leg she got an Oscar
(14:57):
and I remember seeing her and that would be like, listen,
this is not a spark and you miss her. I
thought she was going to get it for Dolomite, if
you want to tell me down. That was fresh out
of Yale, right after she graduated, and she got that role. Anyway,
shout out to Davin. Uh. Yeah, she's on only murders
left in the building right now too, which is which
(15:17):
is do? Yeah? All right, moving on to our next
true false question. Okay, the Peacock Show Killing. It was
made by the creators of Brooklyn nine nine, Dan Gore
and Luke del Tredici Del Tredici. Thank you true false. Yes, yes,
I love Brooklyn nine nine. You of course had one
(15:38):
of the most memorable arcsaw there, uh Doug Judy, Doug Judy,
you and uh just y'all arguing, you know, like Peralta
and Doug Judy, but also then on the other side
of it, you and Andy Samberg, Like I just it
was like the SNL skit that just kept on giving.
Talk about that for you, because I know it was
(15:59):
probably just one guest star, but then they just kept
bringing you back.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
You know, I think they had a plan for Doug
Judy and they did. Okay, I think that's what happened.
I remember hearing something like that early on son bring
it back next year, when Andy and I would get
to get this. Like you ever see two kids they
don't even know which, tried to come together and they
decide they're going to play, and then they just run
off and they playing. This is what kindergarten is out
(16:23):
there playing and you know, just the handshakes and all
this stuff was just improv right there and just figure
it out. Practice a couple of times, Okay, we're doing that, yes.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Or I also love too that obviously, I think Dan
and Luke had seen what you had done before, but
what you did on Brooklyn nine nine I think proved
to them is like, man, because so many people I
know for a fact, talked about yours. There's tons of
guest stars that come on that show, but like, I
feel like yours is one of the top ones that
people kind of mentioned. So when did they first start
(16:52):
having those conversations about killing it.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Was it on the set of Brooklyn or was it
was towards the end of Brooklyn? I think it is.
Brooklyn was in this last year. Manager and I went
to have a meeting with Dan and then we were
just kind of you know, fireball and stuff, and they
were like, Okay, we're gonna come back with something, and
they came back with three ideas. I can't remember the
other two. I know one of them involved music, and
(17:17):
but one of them was you know, killing the snakes
and stuff and just like and we were all like, well,
we haven't seen anything like that, so let's let's roll
with that one.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Now. I want to see the music one, because you
don't know this is this is a piano. Man over here,
can lay it down. Actually, when did you start learning
to play the piano?
Speaker 2 (17:37):
My mother played as soon as we were born. Man,
we were on a piano.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Wow, that's so cool. Man. Now I came to it late.
I started, like, I started piano lessons at like fifteen,
and I was playing with kids where they were like four,
and I was like, this is not fair.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Because I was at.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
I was a choir girl, so we were I was
basically learning to be my own accompany. That was the
whole thing about it is you want to be able to,
you know, back yourself up, understand your chords. Also, music
theory helps you be a better, you know, overall musician.
But yeah, I was one of the old kids. Why
are you making fun of me, mister Robinson, sir?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Always so interesting?
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Played by six year old Yes, it built it built character.
It built characters because these little prodigies will humble you.
So your mother played. She obviously taught you. Your whole
family she taught us, and then you.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Know, we branched off into different music teachers and have
a degree in music.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Yeah, but then you taught.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Yeah talk kindergarten. Their eighth grade music in Chicago and
Indiana for about three and a half years.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Not to like make this weird crossover, but how has
Quinton that hit you up to come and be the
music teacher on Abbot Elementary? Like honestly, like now that
I'm thinking about this, like you know, she said.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Because we did a show together on those Jimmy Fallon
game shows. Yeah, password she said. They tried to give me,
but you know I was filming, So yeah, I would
love to be on that show.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Okay, Quinta, like, let's get him. You know he's got bad,
bad guys too. But right after that, like I'm unemployed.
That would be such a great episode anyway, I'm sorry,
I'm like literally right in Quincy's show, she's doing just
just fine without me, because.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
It is to see her when she was like comedy.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
What was the thing like with BuzzFeed and stuff. Yeah, no,
he got money girl. Man, I think she's the old
her and Issa and like a few others are like
what I consider when people talk about like if you
were just a creative person, other people will pay attention
because they were just running I think I did a
panel with I was just running my mouth on the
internet and then things happen. And like with Quincy, I
(19:50):
was just making a funny joke about being broken Philly,
and then things happened, and like glad BuzzFeed got her
on her start. But man, the sky's a limit, all right?
That's true or false? The Bad Guys two began development
five months before the first film even hit theaters. Is
that true or false? Yes, you were on it, like
(20:12):
before it even came out. They knew.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Oh I don't know. I was guessing. I thought you
were going to tell me it is true. Okay, that
is so confidently I thought, well that, well know these animations,
it takes time.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
It does take time. What's the weirdest place you had
to record lines for The Bad Guys? Because that's the
other thing too. You could be someplace crazy and they'll
be like, we're gonna get on a zoom, we're gonna
put you in this sound booth, and we just need
you to do this three times.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
I think everything. You know, we always were able to
go to the studio.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Oh you were okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
But you know, sometimes they just need a placement for something,
or just need your voice for something, you know, as
a placeholder. So I'll just be in traffic and you know,
send them a few takes of this or wherever backstage?
