Speaker 1 (00:01):
With Mario a little bit, stop you Wrong with Mario
Lopez joining me now the hilarious at a Gas Star.
How are you anna? Hi? Mario? So great to see you.
Always get a big smile. I haven't seen you since
Greece Live. I know, my gosh. How much more was that?
It was unbelievable and it did well, which was great,
and we'll received and it wasn't embarrassing. Yeah, always a win, right, Yeah,
(00:22):
a lot of first out shave with the live audience
and the whole deal. And you're going around too. I mean,
you've got a lot going on. But let's talk about
this Sunday. You're in a Christmas Story Live? Yeah? Can
you believe it? Classic love? The original now didn't have
a short run as a Broadway show for a minute. Yeah.
So the Christmas Story you Know is the Christmas beloved
classic with Ralphie Um and the movie you Know has
(00:46):
its twenty four hour marathon on TBS which everybody loves.
So the writers who actually ended up writing La La
Land and Dear of Van Hansen, Passik and Paul songwriting
team wrote a musical version of a Christmas Story that
Um did, uh a little holiday Broadway run in some
touring four or five years ago, predated all the other things. Um,
(01:07):
and I think they, you know, Fox decided to air
it as a Christmas special. So it's really fun. It's
like it's it's this, you know, a Christmas story and
it's just beautiful music and the cast is great. Maya
Rudolph's playing the mom, and Christine Matopolis is playing the dad,
and um, Matthew Broderick's the narrator. It's really great, really great.
(01:27):
Dan Kerkask is the teacher. Um Kim Jong is a
has a fun cameo, and UM, I think there's one
of the person I'm not allowed to say who has
a cameo. And then I'm playing, um the his best
friend Schwartz, who he blames I don't know if remember
the movie, but he says the F bomb when he's
changed changing the tire with his dad, so he blames
it on sports. So, UM, what they did was that,
(01:48):
you know, because it's a musical and they're trying to
extend it into a full telecast, they decided to add
a Hanaka number for Mrs Schwartz. So I'm singing because
it's like Christmas special and why not have a Honaka
special and there's not that many Hanaka songs that everybody knows.
So I'm playing Mrs Schwartz and I'm singing this big,
ridiculous they call it Klezmer jazz number. It's fantastic um
(02:08):
market for a miracle market for America. Yeah, it's really
really fun. And it was really cool too because, um,
you know, so Mark Platt, who produced Grease Live, also
produced Wicked, which I did on Broadway, and and he's
you know, called me up and was like, Hey, we
think we're gonna add this Hanaka song. So it was
kind of really exciting, like to have something that you've
done before, we get something now and super just really thrilling.
(02:32):
And and so I got to sit like in a
in a little bungalow on the Universal lot with Passik
and Paul like what do you think of this? And
how about this? And like working out this brand new number.
So they wrote the number just for this production. So
that was awesome with original music and are you shooting
with a live audience or yeah, but not in the
capacity it's it's different than Greece in the sense it's
super weird because it's exactly in the same locale with
(02:54):
exactly the same crew. Yeah, and I'm the only like
consistent thing because I was in Grease live. It's a
very weird feeling, like we keep walking by you know
what would have been the gym, and you know Ridgmond
High and all of that. So yeah, it's very funny
like but it's in that main town square um at
Warner Brothers actually where there's all this histories where a
music man was actually shot too, So there's all this
(03:15):
sort of like musical theater history there, which is cool. Um,
So it doesn't have the kind of I mean you
were there, I mean that had like it was like
being at a one direction concert or something. There was
so there were so many Twitter followers behind the cast.
It was a very teen friendly everybody's nose grease, everybody's
done grease. Remember it was in Bananas. So this is
a little more folky and homesy. I would say, like
(03:37):
where none of us are, um, you know pop stars, um,
perfect for Christmas, great for Christmas. And the kids are
just fantastic and there's a ton of them and they
all tap dance and they all they're incredible and America
loves a singing Kidah, my buddy Mike Darnell's behind that, right,
he's uh, he's have you seen him running around there?
A little guy. Guy, he's a little guy. He's behind
(04:00):
what he's uh from telepictures, had of telepictures. He's uh yeah,
producing it the show all of Christmas. That's incredible. Yeah, no,
I thought I thought it's. Um Zack Woodley is the choreographer.
That's why I thought you were referring to. He did
Grease and he also did Glee. He's like a television
and is he also a little guy? He's not that little. Yeah,
(04:21):
he's not a little Actually it's pretty tall. He's a
wonderful choreographer. So um yeah, So it's great. I mean,
you just you know, but it's not as like it's
a different energy Grease's Grease's. I don't how would you
have described that experience? I mean, that was it was electric, right, electric? Yeah,
it was. It was like a concert. Yeah, this is
this is less like a concert and more like a
(04:41):
being inside a Christmas card or snow globe. It's very magical, yeah,
very familiar. And it's set in the forties, so everybody's
dressed old timey and it's really cute. We're looking forward
to checking it out. I can't wait at home right there.
And you're also back for season two of Lady Dynamite
on Netflix. Do we get to see more of your character? Oh? Yeah,
she lost her mind because she had a spiritual crisis
(05:01):
because you're her. In the first episode, her one, her one,
herself driving tesla crashes into her tesla and so so
she she gets creamed and she has a spiritual awakening.
So a lot of the season that's sort of the
beginning point of where she goes she's out of her mind.
You know, they all are the best characters, right. And
you're also part of this TV show People of Earth,
(05:24):
which has been picked up for a third season. Congratulation,
thank you. So when do you start filming that? That
doesn't start until May. But I've visited with the writer's
room yesterday and they've got great things up their sleeves.
You know. It's a show about survivors of abduction. So
it's a really great it's Greg Daniel's uh and Conan
are the producers and has their sensibility I would say,
really smart and really quiet and um kind of the
(05:45):
opposite of it's so cool to be able to do
it's been really cool to be able to do Lady
Dynamite and that at the same time because they're really
radically different comedic styles, you know, so it's been killing it.
It's cool now because a lot of shows, these shows
live in these kind of you know, eight, ten, twelve boarders,
and creatively it's really fun because you can pop around
(06:06):
a little bit more, not like obliged to you know,
twenty three episodes or episodes, right exactly. It's it's actually
really um if you're fortunate to you know, it's busy enough. Yeah,
I get something, and I think creatively, there's so much
good material now telling you exactly exactly, No, it's grays.
What makes it so tough board season because there's something
recognize everything, and meanwhile you're still performing music. You've got
(06:27):
some tour dates coming up this next year. Tell me
about those shows. It's sort of um. If I have
an album and it's it's funny, we said classmer jazz,
it's silly jazz, it's happy jazz jazz, and that's sort
of what I do. You know, I tell jokes and
I staying in front of in the jazz channel. Yeah,
I mean it's somewhere in between jazz and I don't know,
(06:47):
cabaret ridiculousness, but it's it's um. So yeah, I'd like
to go out on the road just because it's a
fun experience. It's so personal and at the time of
music that inspires you. Generally, it feels comfortable. For me,
it's very you know, because I kind of came to
these concerts through the weird angle of after SNL. I
did all these musicals, so I did. I did a
(07:08):
wicket on Broadway and in Chicago, and I did you know,
Threepenny Opera, and it's it's very kind of formal musical theater,
and I think it felt a little formal for me,
like it didn't quite fit. I love it, I love
doing it as a job, but then going out on
the road like it just I wasn't. I didn't feel
comfortable to sort of in a party dress singing tunes.
(07:29):
You know, it felt like a weird mix up. So
for me, jazz kind of it's more what I listened
to at home. It's looser, it's more improvisational, it's more interactive.
The band is really free. I always travel with a horn.
I always traveled with a read. Yeah, it's really cool.
So so that's. Um, it's a little old fashioned, but
it's kind of like, you know, an old fashioned house party.
So I like to think of it. And as an
(07:51):
SNL alumnus, do you keep up with the show. Some
I'm terrible about. I tend to sort of do what
everybody does, which is, you know, Sunday Sunday morning quarterback
at somebody says yeah, and people go like, oh my god,
did you see the dadada? You know, And so I'll
I'll go look now, yeah, exactly, that's funny. Yeah, exact.
I have a favorite memory in particular, favorite sketch from
looking back on your days, I don't have a favorite sketch.
(08:13):
I loved so many of the things I got to
do there, but I did love this time of year
there because it's it is a very again it's it
was always my favorite sketches of mine, all that happened
to fall in the Christmas shows, the Shortti ball sketch
and you know, Martha Stewart's topless Christmas and the ones
that I felt successful in. Um, we always had good
moments on the Holiday show for some reason. And then um,
(08:35):
and then you know, there are a few years that
Lauren used to do this really cool tradition. It was
a nightmare just logistically, but where we would go on
the rink at at Rockefeller Plaza and one year I
think we had like courier and I was like costumes,
and you know, they would it was it was a
complete meltdown getting from the end of the commercial downstairs,
you know, through dirty rock down the elevators into the
(08:57):
back entrance and changed and in their mittens everybody know.
But it was super charming and then you know, good
nights would happen out on the ice. So there's something
very kind of magical about Christmas at SA now. And
you're also a mom to two kids, right, yeah, hold
of the kids. I have a nine year old and
a fifteen year old. Yeah. Um nine year old is
(09:17):
into Minecraft and you know, computer stuff and legos and
basketball and he's got a million things going. And she's
she's into um. She's she's she's interesting. She's very high
low like she she went to see called me by
my name, and she she saw she's seen Ladybird twice.
But then she also loves um, you know, uh Erchie
(09:41):
and Betty, like she knows Riverdale like the back of
her hands, so she's very comfortable with Like she's just
as happy to watch a Hallmark Hall of Fame holiday
special about somebody getting trapped in the snow globe till
we find the Spirit of Christmas. She's seen more movies
this year than No, I haven't seen any of them.
She's seen Ladybird twice. She's like, you, you're going to
really love it. Mom, and she and then my husband.
(10:03):
She asked my husband, I mean, I love it to
meet her at the movie theater with her friend because
it's actually rated are and he had to buy their
tickets because she's only fifteen and a half. But it
was it was called Me by your Name, which is
beautiful your name my name, and yeah, yeah, yeah, it's
this beautiful, you know, first story of First Love. It's
very like slow and gorgeous. My husband actually saw it Sundance,
(10:26):
and she loved it. She bought the book. She read
the short story like she is an old soul. But
then she does have some good you know, good old
fashioned pop and her do they have any entertainment business aspirations?
She's a good actress. They both do there, I mean
my son's playing a guard number four in the Emperor's
New Clothes. He does have a drunk scene, so that's
(10:47):
a win. And yeah, so it's not you know, there
are no small parts, only small actors. And he got
two laughs on his first audition. He was came, I
was like, I got a couple of laughs. Um and
uh no. I mean if they want me to, I'll
run lines with them, but I'll they ask you if
they ask me. But my daughter, um, my daughter too.
(11:08):
She's a good actors, she's a good writer. She's I
don't know what she'll end up doing. I mean, we don't,
you know, whatever they want. But yeah, yeah, yeah, but
they definitely. They both play piano and they both tap dancer.
I mean they have some your your kids show busy
or yeah they're pretty, they're pretty. My daughter is pretty busy.
She was interviewing The Rock yesterday and Kevin Hard And
does she did the Jumanju premiere? Oh my god, that's
(11:30):
Disney Cartoon's Yeah, she's not on Disney cartoon. She's got to. Yes,
she does a lot. Seven looks last a month. Yeah,
she's more successful than I am. Yeah, pretty well, pretty well.
Did you see Kevin Hart tweeted about her. Oh I
didn't see that. I see that right there. So yeah,
so she and that's just another thing said she does
red carpet. She does, know she does. By the way,
(11:52):
she knows none of these people, so she's fearless when
she recognized them. The rock and she's gonna have amazing
throwback Thursday pictures in the future. No, it's fun. All right.
Before I let you go, I want to put you
on the spot. Quick questions, quick answers. Favorite Christmas song,
White Christmas or um, you only get one? Okay, it's
(12:15):
not my favorite though. I was just to say that's
my favorite Christmas movie. But my favorite song from the
movie is Snow, which is not a very well known song,
but it's one with her on the train. It's like,
it's all like in harmony, Snow. It won't be long,
We've all we lose Snow. It's it's cute. Okayatch last
show you Binge watched? Uh just finished at the mind Hunter.
(12:39):
Did you like it? Yeah? I loved it. It was
great celebrity crush growing up. Um, I'll wait, literally, picking
is that because you had so many you're trying to
nail it down or yeah, I mean no, I liked them,
(12:59):
I didn't. I had a lot of opinions. I like tall, art,
handsome when I was a kid. Yeah, if I felt
like anybody was phony bologney at all, I would drop
it like a like a like a hot potato. Like
one time I saw Jimmy Osmond scat and I was
I was furious and I was living because I don't know,
but I inherently knew that it was unacceptable and I
(13:21):
didn't like. I hated uh. I didn't like Journey, I
didn't like. I had like reactions to people. I know
why I did. I went through a really strong phase.
I don't like. I didn't like um, white male tenners
of any kind like Steve Party just out of it right,
may be angry, wow, okay, okay, too angry. So when
(13:42):
I was doing so, but it's the opposite of crush,
so I was, I would have like mine would be
sort of more rugged. I guess, like you know, um,
I don't know, I don't know, I guess, said Tom Patty. Maybe, okay, okay,
Tom Petty. It's the first nickname growing up on a
banana classic favorite white white Christmas that an all time
(14:06):
favorite Christmas gift. You're not the first person to ask this,
and I have no memory of a single gift I've
ever received for Christmas. Absolutely terrible point of service. So
as a human like it frustrates everyone who's related to me.
I love giving presents. I love thinking of presents. I
(14:26):
take it really seriously, but I like receiving like um,
like it was a gift that was actually given to me.
And I'm not saying this to sell him out, but
he did not fulfill his I O U. And that
was my husband and it was five years ago, it
was two. We have a really obnoxious primitive doorbell. It's
like a like a just a bell like like it's horrible.
(14:49):
It's very aggressive and hostile. And he gave me like
a printed out I owe you kind of I'll put
in a new doorbell, which he hasn't done, but that
would but that would be I I like, that would
be the kind of gift that I would like. I
tell my wife that all the time. We recently remodeled
the kitchen. That's Christmas. Well, that's what we do. Now.
(15:10):
We've mostly just discussed like okay, because we went to
Octoberfest this year in Munich, which we've never done before
because it was my best friend's birthday and she lives there. Um,
it was our twentieth wedding anniversaries. It was kind of
like a big pile up of like, let's go to
October house. So that sort of was the trip because
we went for five days, we bicycled around Munich together,
and then like that should be the gift. Like the
couple that wears later hosing and dear nels together stays together.
(15:31):
So um, yeah, that's the gift. So we kind of
do it like more for the kids, you know. But
I'll tell you what I don't want, like that's fine,
but then don't make up for it. I don't want floss,
I don't want a vegetable scrupper, but I don't want
mom gifts and you and I will get those things
in my stocking. It will make me angry. Meanwhile, Christmas

I have a favorite memory in particular, favorite sketch from
looking back on your days, I don't have a favorite sketch.
(08:13):
I loved so many of the things I got to
do there, but I did love this time of year
there because it's it is a very again it's it
was always my favorite sketches of mine, all that happened
to fall in the Christmas shows, the Shortti ball sketch
and you know, Martha Stewart's topless Christmas and the ones
that I felt successful in. Um, we always had good
moments on the Holiday show for some reason. And then um,
(08:35):
and then you know, there are a few years that
Lauren used to do this really cool tradition. It was
a nightmare just logistically, but where we would go on
the rink at at Rockefeller Plaza and one year I
think we had like courier and I was like costumes,
and you know, they would it was it was a
complete meltdown getting from the end of the commercial downstairs,
you know, through dirty rock down the elevators into the
(08:57):
back entrance and changed and in their mittens everybody know.
But it was super charming and then you know, good
nights would happen out on the ice. So there's something
very kind of magical about Christmas at SA now. And
you're also a mom to two kids, right, yeah, hold
of the kids. I have a nine year old and
a fifteen year old. Yeah. Um nine year old is

She's seen Ladybird twice. She's like, you, you're going to

was it was called Me by your Name, which is

very like slow and gorgeous. My husband actually saw it Sundance,
(10:26):

the short story like she is an old soul. But

fashioned pop and her do they have any entertainment business aspirations?
She's a good actress. They both do there, I mean
my son's playing a guard number four in the Emperor's
New Clothes. He does have a drunk scene, so that's
(10:47):
a win. And yeah, so it's not you know, there
are no small parts, only small actors. And he got
two laughs on his first audition. He was came, I
was like, I got a couple of laughs. Um and

she recognized them. The rock and she's gonna have amazing
throwback Thursday pictures in the future. No, it's fun. All right.
Before I let you go, I want to put you
on the spot. Quick questions, quick answers. Favorite Christmas song,
White Christmas or um, you only get one? Okay, it's
(12:15):
not my favorite though. I was just to say that's
my favorite Christmas movie. But my favorite song from the
movie is Snow, which is not a very well known song,
but it's one with her on the train. It's like,
it's all like in harmony, Snow. It won't be long,
We've all we lose Snow. It's it's cute. Okayatch last
show you Binge watched? Uh just finished at the mind Hunter.
(12:39):
Did you like it? Yeah? I loved it. It was
great celebrity crush growing up. Um, I'll wait, literally, picking
is that because you had so many you're trying to
nail it down or yeah, I mean no, I liked them,
(12:59):
I didn't. I had a lot of opinions. I like tall, art,
handsome when I was a kid. Yeah, if I felt
like anybody was phony bologney at all, I would drop
it like a like a like a hot potato. Like
one time I saw Jimmy Osmond scat and I was
I was furious and I was living because I don't know,
but I inherently knew that it was unacceptable and I
(13:21):
didn't like. I hated uh. I didn't like Journey, I
didn't like. I had like reactions to people. I know
why I did. I went through a really strong phase.
I don't like. I didn't like um, white male tenners
of any kind like Steve Party just out of it right,
may be angry, wow, okay, okay, too angry. So when
(13:42):
I was doing so, but it's the opposite of crush,
so I was, I would have like mine would be
sort of more rugged. I guess, like you know, um,
I don't know, I don't know, I guess, said Tom Patty. Maybe, okay, okay,
Tom Petty. It's the first nickname growing up on a
banana classic favorite white white Christmas that an all time
(14:06):
favorite Christmas gift. You're not the first person to ask this,
and I have no memory of a single gift I've
ever received for Christmas. Absolutely terrible point of service. So
as a human like it frustrates everyone who's related to me.
I love giving presents. I love thinking of presents. I
(14:26):
take it really seriously, but I like receiving like um,
like it was a gift that was actually given to me.
And I'm not saying this to sell him out, but
he did not fulfill his I O U. And that
was my husband and it was five years ago, it
was two. We have a really obnoxious primitive doorbell. It's
like a like a just a bell like like it's horrible.
(14:49):
It's very aggressive and hostile. And he gave me like
a printed out I owe you kind of I'll put
in a new doorbell, which he hasn't done, but that
would but that would be I I like, that would
be the kind of gift that I would like. I
tell my wife that all the time. We recently remodeled
the kitchen. That's Christmas. Well, that's what we do. Now.
(15:10):
We've mostly just discussed like okay, because we went to
Octoberfest this year in Munich, which we've never done before
because it was my best friend's birthday and she lives there. Um,
it was our twentieth wedding anniversaries. It was kind of
like a big pile up of like, let's go to
October house. So that sort of was the trip because
we went for five days, we bicycled around Munich together,
and then like that should be the gift. Like the
couple that wears later hosing and dear nels together stays together.
(15:31):
So um, yeah, that's the gift. So we kind of
do it like more for the kids, you know. But
I'll tell you what I don't want, like that's fine,
but then don't make up for it. I don't want floss,
I don't want a vegetable scrupper, but I don't want
mom gifts and you and I will get those things
in my stocking. It will make me angry. Meanwhile, Christmas
