John Mulaney, Alex Timbers and David Byrne in Conversation with Fred Armisen 

Bill Harder 😊

Right here✌️✌️

And Seth

That IFC Panel is also great.

@@jenhasken I TRY!

“hey baby-o loose those socks”

"we got a one"

"Was everything ok?" "Yeah it's just I could see your entire leg."

@@gumbyforreal wait isn't it daddy-o ?

"your mother and i are separating"

That made me LOL. :D

Seeing John out of a suit has favorite teacher inviting you over for extra help out of school energy imo

So much better than interviews.

It's still super annoying when he calls it, "Moncton Canada" though.

He did a similar thing in Birmingham, Alabama! So cool

You got this!

YUP....😍

I’ve binged nearly every podcast he did

@@nondescriptbeing5944 Same. He really thinks about the questions he's asked, and I love hearing his responses. :)

Sometimes… i get nervous….. on airplanes.

I also struggle with this. He is the correct amount of really strange to make me feel like I fit in somehow

Exactly my thoughts!

The whole design was incredible omg

Who? David?

@@Ami483 no, John Mulaney! He mentions in the beginning that he didn’t like his show in Amsterdam

Same! I loved it, so it's a bummer to hear he didn't enjoy it. The location was horrible though, like they chucked a bunch of folding chairs in an airplane hangar. Maybe that's why.

@@Navalina yea true! Although, I did love his running joke about “the airplane hanger” venue and everyone looking like they’re dressed as if they work at a museum 😆

A whole show about that: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7giM-dKSOdQ.html

Alex, too!! All 4 of them have Documentary Now! in common.

John's been a collaborator for that too! Wrote and acted and produced bits of it

@@beaq6755 that’s nearly exactly what I said.

They also talked about John's steadicam opening AND YET DIDN'T DISCUSS THE OPENING OF The Talking Heads documentary! It was right there.

Indeed. John finally gave me a reason to want to go to Vegas. :)

Neat!!

When they finally hit their Gil and George phase!66

I went to public schools growing up and didn't play sports, so I never wore a uniform growing up. It's funny that it never crossed my mind he chose to wear suits because he'd been in uniforms in school and was more comfortable that way wearing designated attire. I just always assumed he started doing it to be taken seriously because he looked 12 when he started doing stand up, and once he started wearing suits it was easier (for me at least) to understand how he was being let into comedy clubs. Lol. He still is very youthful in appearance, but it's much easier for me to automatically think of him as an adult now that he has a baby of his own. I wish him well, and I hope you figure out how to dress in a way that feels right for you at college! I just did blue jeans and t-shirts most of the time when I went. :)

That's a good idea! They should consider it. They both bring something different to the conversation.

I think a shop talk podcast with Mulaney, Armisen and the occasional other comedian friend would be a huge hit.

And I've been thinking about it, lyricism in general, and the pressures of making "deep" art, as though it's the only kind, when it really isn't!

Understanding John's personality more after hearing that.

😅

He was genuine, he is a sketch comedian first, and an actor who never has to memorize an hours worth of lines ..... What John does is a skill that most don't have.... Most that do an hour have notes or promters or cheat sheets on their hands or arms or inside their jacket or on their props or top of guitar....etc.... At Saturday night live, not only are the sketchs short, but all the lines are written down and on giant cards for them to read....

Also Fred is an incredible improvisational actor/comedian so he's awesome at making it up right then & there ,on the spot, being quick witted and funny, but not necessarily remembering an hours worth of lines.... Which have to be perfect and in the right order or all of a sudden it's not funny, or doesn't make sense

agree, but superlatives are limiting. Byrne continues to evolve with every second. An inspiration

He has said Natasha Lyonne was one of the most important people there. I don't know about the other ones, but the two I am sure are Natasha and Seth.

​@rachelbrand yes, I would assume Natasha since she's been there herself.

Sorry to hear about your Father!! That's neat about DB having the same favorite arist/song...I mean what are the chances?!

Oh good to know, thanks. Cool profile picture

This was interesting, thx!

He's so often "playing" serious in his comedic bits that it makes me laugh just looking at him

I think it was a sort of joke? At least for him at the time

@@beaq6755 Disagree. But obviously, as high as I was, I can’t read minds. I say that because EVERYONE who got jug would spell it “JUG” - as an acronym. Similarly, every kid thought it stood for “justice under god.” Until corrected, of course. Because, ya know… Jesuits.

If you're joking, good one! If not, you might want to google who Alex Timbers and David Byrne are. 😂
