Speaker 1 (00:00):
Kevin neiling back in studio.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
You're in a very low chairs, a lot taller than
I am, but you look a little bit more like
Brad Williams right now.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
And and actually my producer's.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Name is also Brad Williams, so it's not this not
the same Brad Williams.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
These are one of these chairs that they have the
levers on it, but they don't go anywhere they left up.
They don't go down.

Speaker 4 (00:19):
Well, look at the one next to you. The arm
is literally.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
Where They're not going to buy us nice chairs here.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Do you know Gina, Well, I know her name, our reputation.

Speaker 4 (00:34):
Hopefully that's good.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
I think it's the first time we.

Speaker 4 (00:36):
Met, Yeah, I think so. Yeah, nice to meet you.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
Memorable time too, so far.

Speaker 4 (00:40):
Yeah, I'm great.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
We were having a little conversation, uh before you walked
in about late show versus early show, and Gina is
a huge late show fan, and I'm old, so I
tend to go to the early shows. And I was wondering,
we were wondering if there's a real difference from someone
up on the stage, is there is there a consistent
difference between an early show and a late show.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
Well, it's like talking to a kid, a normal kid
or not a normal kid, but a kid who doesn't
have a d D. The second show as a d D,
it's a lot of like got to reach out because
help them focus.

Speaker 4 (01:17):
Is that because they got a little bit.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
They got too much fluid? Yeah, and they've been working,
especially on Friday night second show? Is it can't be
challenging because people have been working all day and it's
the late shows. They've had dinner, they've had a few drinks.
Maybe they get a little tired, you know, so you
have to not be judgmental.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
One.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
It's a second show and you see people's eyes closely.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
I should have more properly introduced Kevin Nealan. We just
kind of started talking. But Kevin Nealon incredibly well known
comic actor nearly a decade on Saturday Night Live. Is
that right, close to a decade and all over television
as well. And I actually posted a link in my
today to his YouTube channel of hiking with Kevin and

(02:05):
my wife and I love hiking.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
We're talking about off Eu Geno is a.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Huge, huge hiker as well, So tell us a little
about hiking with Kevin. Oh wait, also let me say
uh tonight and Tomorrow night playing Comedy Works Now with
at the Landmark Tonight seven thirty and ninety five. I'm
pretty sure the seven thirty sold out, but you can
still get tickets for nine to forty five Tomorrow night,
six thirty and eight forty five. I think the early
show was sold out there as well already. So people

(02:29):
still like you these blond seats, So loosen the Crotch
show on seats, yeah, lawn seats.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
Yeah. My special is called Loosing the Crotch that's coming up.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
Uh huh yeah, So tell me a little about hiking
and then you'll ask you whatever she wants to go
a ton of question.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
Well, the Hiking show came about about seven years ago.
I was hiking with my friend Matt Matthew Modine from
Stranger Things in full metal jacket, and we're just hiking
and then we're both so out of breath, you know,
you can barely understand what we were saying to each other.
And I thought this be a funny interview kind of thing,
so I videotaped it with my phone and I posted
it on Twitter at the time, and people liked it,

(03:07):
so I started doing more. I called my friends that
were celebrities and then ran out of them, and I
had to start sending emails to publicists to get their
clients to come and do it. And it's and my
equipment's gotten better and better. You know. Now I'm using
a GoPro and if by a drone and I edited
it myself.

Speaker 5 (03:22):
Wow, I love the Jack Black video of you two
hiking together. So he just keeps getting pulled aside and
can I.

Speaker 4 (03:28):
Take a picture with you really quick?

Speaker 5 (03:29):
So the love for hiking came first, and then the
celebrities came along with it.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
Yeah. Yeah, I lived in Los Angeles. I still live there,
but I was the time living near a lot of canyons,
so I could walk from my house to the canyons
and just walk. And it's just when I hike, it's
a great time for me to kind of think and
meditate and to kind of solve the world's problems. So
I do like hiking. And it's not strenuous We're talking
about it earlier. It's not like ninety degree in clients,

(03:56):
you know, or even a thirty degree in client. But
it's just fun. I like doing it, and it's fun
hiking with people too.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
When you're when you're out there and it's probably not
very crowded where you're going all the time. But when
someone comes across your path who knows you and asks
you for a picture or something or something, is it
is that any different for you psychologically than if it
were to happen on the street in La Like, do
you really just want to be left alone when you're
out there or is it?

Speaker 1 (04:23):
Is it fine? Well?

Speaker 3 (04:24):
It makes me happy when they're fans of hiking with Kevin. Yeah,
oh my god, I Cavin. I watched I love hiking
with Kevin. Yeah, all the time, you know, but it's
it's enjoyable anywhere I go, and I don't get it
a ton, you know. So I was just touring with
Adam Sandler and it's like I didn't exist, you know.
I mean, somebody came into the room, they lock eyes
with him, and I could be standing there naked. They

(04:45):
would even say it Kevin.

Speaker 4 (04:47):
That's that's what I was going to ask.

Speaker 5 (04:48):
Because Ross gave your long list of accolades, but also
forgot to mention the number of Adam Sandler films that
you've always been a part of, and obviously you guys
were snell together and things like that.

Speaker 4 (04:57):
I'm a huge Adam Sandler fan. I'm not gonna lie.
I didn't fighte him to my wedding.

Speaker 5 (05:00):
He did not show up, but I did get a
postcard from him, which I appreciate, which was very nice.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
But I am curious of.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
People who send those postcards out.

Speaker 5 (05:10):
Don't tell me that it's not, but I am curious
if he's just as down to earth as.

Speaker 4 (05:15):
He seems to be.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
Totally, yeah, he's. You couldn't wish success more for a
guy than him. He's you know, he hasn't changed since SNL.
He's just he loves what he does, obviously, he's uh,
he's very loyal to his friends. You know, we just
we just did a forty city tour. I did like
half of that. And he has his buddies Alec Schnyder

(05:39):
and Nick Schwartz and Kevin James, you know, David Spain,
all these It's just fun. You just hang out. You
play basketball when we get to the city, who play basketball,
and there's the sound check and then there's like the
big meals, like at eleven thirty at night at some
you know, restaurant, and you wake up the next morning
just the time to go to the New City. But yeah,

(06:01):
he's He's a great guy, very down to earth and fun,
fun to hang out with.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
We're talking with Kevin Neil and I'm sure you recognize
the voice. He's playing Comedy Works South at the Landmark
Tonight seven thirty sold out already, nine forty five. There's
still tickets for that, a few and then tomorrow night
six thirty sold out already and eight forty five, still
a few tickets.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
A few tickets left for that.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
So you thinking about the various things that you that
you do so stand up you're just they're doing your thing.
SNL is sort of in between a scripted thing with
a stand up.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Thing, maybe you can improve a little.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
I don't know, I'm guessing, and then television like almost
fully scripted, although I'm guessing they let people like you do,
you know, make up a line or two if you
need to. Is there a version that you you love best,
like from the most free wheeling to the most let's say, scripted,
What do you like?

Speaker 3 (06:58):
Well, you know, it's it's hard to pick one because
you know, I did SNL for almost a decade and
that was fun, but it was scripted.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
It was all in c cards didn't have much flexibility there.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
No, No, okay, oddly you would think that there would
be improv there. Yeah, but there is an unless something
went wrong like one time Chris Parley got stuck on
the Weekend Update lettering. He was supposed to rise up
into the air on a cable and he swung back
and I think the cable and the harness got hooked
on a lettering. So he had to kind of improvise
about that until he got got free from that. But yeah,

(07:34):
that's all. That's all that as far as like doing
a TV show like Weeds for example, that's a little
more loose where you could add embellish things. Hey what
if I said this or what if I did that?
Oh that's funny. Yeah. So but I think maybe the
live thing SNL was probably you know.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
Overall versus stand up.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
Well, stand up is the best.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
I love that.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
It's really my forte. It's what I all wanted to
do and I never stopped doing the last all four decades.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
How'd you get into it?

Speaker 3 (08:06):
Uh? I paid some guy really? Yeah, you know laugh factory. Yeah. Right,
It's just you know, it's like anything else, you just
go to the open mic nights, you ease in. You
have people that have influenced you, or you're trying to
emulate a little bit. When I started, people trying to
emulate Richard Pryor and Steve Martin and Woody Allen, you

(08:27):
know all those guys. And now it's like, you know,
there's rezillions of comics now, so it's you know, an
uncle could be influencing somebody.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
Do you do you remember your first joke you told
into a microphone that got a big laugh.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
Still hasn't happened.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
And there it is that that was it right there?

Speaker 3 (08:49):
I think it was. It could have been one of
these three jokes. Oh I have Oh it's not even
like relatable now. I have a very small apartment. It's
above a phone booth. People that know what a phone
both is right?

Speaker 1 (09:07):
My kids definitely do'e.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
Yeah somebody I saw somebody ask their their kid news
on Instagram. Hey do you know what this means? Be
kind rewind? Oh wow, they didn't know they had they
had no. A lot of people still don't know.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
