Beverly D'Angelo
When you're Jeff Lewis, the drama never stops.
Jeff Lewis
This dementia's aggressive.
Beverly D'Angelo
Really? So is the drinking.
Jeff Lewis
You know, I've never been on a.
Jamie Kennedy
Private plane before and I'm very excited.
Jeff Lewis
Are you serious?
Jamie Kennedy
No, never.
Jeff Lewis
What are you, a Martian?
Beverly D'Angelo
You're really demented. You're actually demented. Jeff Lewis has.
Jeff Lewis
Hey, it's Jeff Lewis and I have issues. In today's episode, Beverly d' Angelo and Jamie Kennedy join the show. We talk about dramatic travel, gay icons and survival jobs. Welcome back. You were on set.
Beverly D'Angelo
I was shooting a wonderful film called Last Hand in New Orleans. Nate Dushku directing and Ami Aman Lauray Laurie. God, please. I don't mean to mispronounce his name. Writing and it was the most fantastic experience I've had as an actress in I think really since co manager. I felt very fulfilled. It's truly collaborative and wonderful.
Jeff Lewis
Congratulations.
Beverly D'Angelo
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
How long were you gone? A month?
Beverly D'Angelo
Yeah, more than that. Because then I went from there to an autograph convention and that was a harrowing tale.
Jeff Lewis
Jamie does a lot of those.
Jamie Kennedy
Yes.
Jeff Lewis
Cons autographs.
Beverly D'Angelo
Have you ever had to drive to one because you got canceled on a flight on Washington D.C. and then went in Detroit and then the person beside you said he could drive, so you took off with a complete stranger and drove for nine hours through Tornado Alley in Canada to get to Buffalo. Did you ever do that?
Jamie Kennedy
Nine hours.
Beverly D'Angelo
Took nine hours yeah, well, because it took us three hours to get out of the Detroit airport because of luggage snafu.
Jamie Kennedy
I'll tell you this. When I came back from Italy, I went from Milan to Paris, Paris to New York, New York to Kingsport, Tennessee, where the con was sweet enough. I'm going to give him a shout out. Eight Lug Circus. This is the company that put on the transportation for the con. Picked me up and drove me 2 hours and 10 minutes. To Knoxville. No, from Knoxville to Newport or Kingsport. Long story. Boring is a stranger. Drove me a stranger. She was also a stranger. And she was the sweetest woman I have had this. But it was only for two and a half hours. And she was incredible.
Jeff Lewis
Who was your stranger, Bev?
Beverly D'Angelo
His name was Reggie and he was a king. So great that when he came to the convention the next day with his family, we put him on the panel because it was like living a dream. It was a vacation, movie, everything. I even have a recording on my phone where at one point, because his luggage got sent on with a flight, even though he wasn't on that flight and we couldn't track it down. So we were gonna drive from the airport in Detroit to the airport in Buffalo.
Jeff Lewis
Cause that's where his luggage was.
Beverly D'Angelo
Cause that's where his luggage was. So. And I had to do the convention in Buffalo. Anyway, I have the recording of this that I'd love to play for you, but I.
Jamie Kennedy
Anyway, Bev, let me ask you this.
Beverly D'Angelo
We called Delta and listen, it was great. And we called Delta. I'm on the phone while he's driving. We called Delta and I went through all the robocalls to get to. I'd like to speak to a representative. And then they say, please stay on the line for the next representative. Your wait time is 8 hours and 50 minutes.
Jeff Lewis
No.
Beverly D'Angelo
And it said please stay on the line after your call for a brief survey. So, yeah, I mean, things like that happened all the way. At one point he was so tired that it was. I was making him drink the Starbucks coffee, you know, and like handing to have some pistachios. You need energy.
Jeff Lewis
And you've never met Reggie.
Beverly D'Angelo
I met him at the airport.
Jamie Kennedy
How did you guys connect?
Beverly D'Angelo
Because. Because the airports were such a mess in both Washington D.C. and in Detroit that we were sitting next to each other. And I'm. I'm frantically trying to figure out, how am I going to get this connecting flight to Buffalo because I'm going to miss it, blah, blah, blah. And. And actually we were in Washington D.C. no, I can't even remember where we're. Detroit. And he and his friend said, hey, weren't you married to Al Pacino? And I just looked at him and I said, don't, don't. Don't do that. Don't do that. No, no, don't do that. And they were like, oh, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. And this guy said, look, I'm a movie buff. I didn't mean to, you know, interfere. And I said, really? So to kill time, we played movie trivia. He was a great guy, great player.
Jeff Lewis
But why would you say, don't do that? Are you worried that other people are gonna then come up and, like, want your picture and stuff? Is that why you say, don't do that?
Beverly D'Angelo
Well, it was just, you know, I gotta tell you something. Oh, and I ran into chumps. I sent the names. We gotta give a shout out to the chumps I ran into to the chumps that came up to me at the autograph convention. But no, it's because of this. First of all, fundamentally, you know, this fandom thing, it's tricky because there are people who genuinely appreciate your work and who wanna say, hey, good job. You know, it's great. I'm a fan. But this mentality of thinking that someone is above you or someone is an idol or something like that, to me, that. That's denigrating. I want people to feel empowered and validated within themselves. I don't want them to feel that just me saying hello validates their existence.
Jeff Lewis
Bevy, you were just telling me that on this particular movie there were a lot of gays and you felt like you're with your people.
Beverly D'Angelo
I was with my people.
Jeff Lewis
You just said to me, I want to be a gay icon.
Beverly D'Angelo
Well, I do, but that's different. My people. And. And I said to. To my son, you know, this is really. Something has happened. It could just be the time of my life or whatever, but I felt seen, heard, collaborative. I've never experienced this. I can't remember the last time I felt so fulfilled. Maybe Coleman, his daughter and my son said, because you're working with gay men, with brilliant gay men, and they are not threatened by you, I actually think.
Jeff Lewis
You are a gay icon. Could Jamie be a gay icon?
Beverly D'Angelo
Maybe if he shaved.
Jamie Kennedy
Am I coming up in gay icon status?
Jeff Lewis
Maybe. Cause a lot of chumps. We had a lot of gay chumps.
Jamie Kennedy
And I get. At least. I get a chump every show. I get a chump every con. And I would say 40% are gay. So it's Maybe I'm rising in the ranks now.
Jeff Lewis
I think you are.
Jamie Kennedy
I wanna go back to what Beverly was saying. Cause there was a lot of ground covered.
Jeff Lewis
Yes.
Jamie Kennedy
First of all, I'm gonna answer a couple questions.
Beverly D'Angelo
And I didn't let you talk about your experience.
Jamie Kennedy
No. First of all. Bev.
Jeff Lewis
Bev, why are you on your phone?
Jamie Kennedy
Did they.
Beverly D'Angelo
I was gonna try to find the chumps.
Jamie Kennedy
Bev.
Beverly D'Angelo
That I ran into.
Jamie Kennedy
Jeff, do you know what they do?
Beverly D'Angelo
I sent it to you.
Jamie Kennedy
Shout out Michael Tsinasis and Leanne Coogan.
Beverly D'Angelo
Yes.
Jamie Kennedy
On these drives, I want you to be honest. Bev.
Beverly D'Angelo
Yeah.
Jamie Kennedy
Did anyone offer you any Mary Jane?
Beverly D'Angelo
Well, no, because I wouldn't take any Mary Jane. I'm not a Mary Jane smoker.
Jamie Kennedy
All right. Did they offer you a pill?
Beverly D'Angelo
No.
Jamie Kennedy
All right. I'm just saying the drivers are very cool.
Beverly D'Angelo
But it wasn't a driver. This was a friend that I made. And while I'm on the phone talking to the promoter saying, everything's been pushed back so far, I don't think I'm gonna make it to Buffalo, he said. I said, check out Amtrak. And we found out that I had to go through Atlanta to get to Buffalo on Amtrak. And he said, well, what about, you know, if we send a car? And just as he said that, the guy beside me said, I could rent a car. And so I.
Jamie Kennedy
This is like planes, trains, and automobile and vacation.
Beverly D'Angelo
Fantastic.
Jamie Kennedy
Same producer.
Beverly D'Angelo
And it was vacation. It was totally vacation. So was it just the two of you in the car, Reggie?
Jamie Kennedy
It's not that uncommon. You should have sent me your location. Well, this is not safe. Volunteers pick us up all the time. Did you see?
Beverly D'Angelo
He was not a volunteer. It was a rando at the airport, but he wasn't.
Jeff Lewis
Okay, well, can I say he was a rando?
Beverly D'Angelo
It was not a rando.
Jamie Kennedy
I'm very good at movies if you look me up.
Beverly D'Angelo
Yeah.
Jamie Kennedy
Two cons ago, I was in Kingsport.
Beverly D'Angelo
And my Reggie Stewart.
Jamie Kennedy
Reggie Stewart shout out. There it is. My license was expired, and I didn't. And their Ubers were not running. So I put on my dm. Hey, I need a ride to Knoxville. And a random picked me up. This is funny. We're doing the same thing. And drove me to Knoxville. An hour and 23 minutes.
Beverly D'Angelo
Well, my trip was nine hours, and.
Jamie Kennedy
I live streamed it.
Jeff Lewis
I get a car, I live streamed it.
Beverly D'Angelo
That way, if I got videos. We made some videos. At one point, he was falling asleep. We made some videos.
Jeff Lewis
You and Reggie made videos on the way.
Beverly D'Angelo
Because it was like Vacation?
Jeff Lewis
What kind of videos were you making?
Beverly D'Angelo
Like, he's driving and I'm filming him. How you doing, Reggie? At one point he was falling asleep, like, nodding out. So I had Brandy. Brandy Newton. My, my. Another savior in my life in Los Angeles, whose husband is a tour manager and she's a unit production manager. She can do anything. She was finding hotels for us to stop at in Windsor, Ontario.
Jeff Lewis
Did you stop?
Beverly D'Angelo
Well, we pulled into a gas station. He had some espresso.
Jeff Lewis
And you kept going?
Beverly D'Angelo
We kept going. We did it. That's what was it really. It was like vacation. It was like. It was no longer just a trip, it was a quest.
Jeff Lewis
Did you drive?
Beverly D'Angelo
No. And what was the time frame for when to when? Okay. We got in the car at Budget Rent a Car at the Detroit Airport at 2am oh, we got to my hotel in Buffalo at 10amI got to the convention at 10:30am no. So I had not slept. I'm still messed up. I woke up last night at 2 o' clock and I've been awake since then.
Jamie Kennedy
Was that this weekend?
Beverly D'Angelo
Yes. I just.
Jamie Kennedy
Oh.
Beverly D'Angelo
So I wrapped. I wrapped a film, went directly to Boca. I mean, I didn't sleep for. I'm totally dysregulated.
Jamie Kennedy
I just came from New Mexico.
Beverly D'Angelo
Oh, did you do an autograph convention? Yeah. What one was it?
Jamie Kennedy
It was called, oh, My God, My Brain Is Done. See, it was in New Mexico.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, you said that.
Jamie Kennedy
Yeah, it was in Albuquerque. It's a new one. Oh, Duke City Comic.
Beverly D'Angelo
There you go.
Jamie Kennedy
It was great. And have you ever been to Albuquerque?
Beverly D'Angelo
I was in Albuquerque when I did Every which Way but loose in 1976 with Clint Eastwood.
Jamie Kennedy
Okay.
Beverly D'Angelo
I'm really old. Ja. James.
Jamie Kennedy
Jamie. But it's okay.
Beverly D'Angelo
Listen, Jeff's on my mind.
Jamie Kennedy
Here's the deal. Albuquerque was where they shot Breaking Bad.
Beverly D'Angelo
Okay.
Jamie Kennedy
And I didn't realize that Breaking Bad was a documentary. It was meaningful. Yeah. Yeah. It's pretty much a meth lab.
Beverly D'Angelo
Oh, it's a method.
Jamie Kennedy
It's a meth lab. The whole city's a meth lab, Jeff. You could buy up half the city.
Beverly D'Angelo
Okay, this is the second time you've mentioned drugs.
Jamie Kennedy
And it's a beautiful.
Beverly D'Angelo
I feel you're in the drug culture because you asked me if people offered me.
Jamie Kennedy
Well, there was a lot of drugs.
Beverly D'Angelo
But how would you know that?
Jamie Kennedy
Because I see them.
Jeff Lewis
You have a fixation with drugs?
Jamie Kennedy
Well, it came back from Albuquerque. Yeah. There's drugs everywhere.
Beverly D'Angelo
Wait, this is important.
Jamie Kennedy
Ringers on.
Beverly D'Angelo
What? What?
Jamie Kennedy
Ringers on. And she's Jeff, she's.
Beverly D'Angelo
She.
Jamie Kennedy
Jeff, she's taking call live. She's taking.
Beverly D'Angelo
Yes, it is.
Jamie Kennedy
She's taking a call. Can I tell you. I mean, is it that important?
Beverly D'Angelo
Just on the phone. My appointment is tomorrow. Yeah, it's on Thursday at 10:30. Yeah.
Jamie Kennedy
If it's confirming an appointment, you would never let me.
Beverly D'Angelo
Is there a problem?
Jeff Lewis
I don't. What's happening here. So she's just confirming a doctor's appointment.
Jamie Kennedy
Yeah. Does not seem that urgent. I have the appointments tomorrow at 10:30.
Beverly D'Angelo
Well, no, I'm not. I'm not doing filler. I'm doing fu5 and also a biopsy. My PM.
Jamie Kennedy
Pardon?
Beverly D'Angelo
Thank you. Yeah, please do. Bye. That was really weird. Sorry.
Jamie Kennedy
It was weird for us, too.
Beverly D'Angelo
No, it was my dermatologist. And the thing is, I've been gone so long. I mean, I'm only here for two weeks before I have to go to Franklin, Tennessee and do another movie.
Jamie Kennedy
So you have to fade in all your appointments.
Beverly D'Angelo
I gotta get my teeth cleaned. I gotta go to the dermatologist. There's a weird bump on my face. I think he's gotta biopsy it. And also, you know, it's. I don't want you to have a.
Jamie Kennedy
Scar if you're in movie.
Jeff Lewis
Why does he have to biopsy? That seems dramatic.
Beverly D'Angelo
Well, because it's a little bump that looks familiar. And I had another little bump that I didn't pick at, and it became very big. This one I haven't picked at, but I think I know what it is.
Jeff Lewis
What?
Beverly D'Angelo
Well, I'll tell you. In 2001, and this is a true confession, okay? In 2001, Patti D', Arbanville, lovely actress, brilliant friend, came to my house. I was a wreck. I'd had the kids, and I weighed about 497 pounds. And frankly, I had let myself go. But I had twins at 49. You try holding on.
Jeff Lewis
Okay.
Beverly D'Angelo
So anyway, she came over 49. Yeah.
Jamie Kennedy
I'm getting a phone call. Should I take it?
Beverly D'Angelo
Yeah.
Jamie Kennedy
Well, I don't think we have to worry about filling the two hours.
Beverly D'Angelo
So she came over and she said, bev, listen, you really got to pull it together. You need to see my guy. He'll come to your house, he'll give you a little. He'll get rid of those wrinkles, he'll inject your lips. He'll do all this stuff. You know, it's really easy. I'm like, I'm not into. No, no, no, you got to do it. Got to do it. So I go, fine. And I Like, get my hair lightened. And I'm starting to do. And he comes over and he goes, da, da, da. And puts these injections and put some stuff in my lips. And I was like, wow, that hurt. What is that? And he said, all my products are from Jurup. And I said, let me see the bottle. I looked at the bottle, and I did see the word acrylic. Now, having been a painter at Hanna Barbera, I recognized that word. And I said, what is this? Oh, from Jurup. Anyway, everything was fine. It did hurt, but everything was fine. And that was 2001. In about 2012, I was gardening, got a little nick.
Jeff Lewis
Bad filler. This is from bad filler?
Beverly D'Angelo
Yeah. So what I do is I get these injections. Should I stop?
Jeff Lewis
No.
Beverly D'Angelo
Okay. But I get these injections. So it started to swell up. So I get these injections from this brilliant dermatologist named Derek Jones who takes the swelling down. And what happened was there was a big lump, big bump here that kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger. I went to him, he said, ooh, that could be a Mohs. He scraped it. It came back benign. He said, but you know what's weird? He said, that was full of particle particulate. So it was the junk that that guy put in. It was coming out. So I think this is another one where it's coming out.
Jamie Kennedy
Wow.
Beverly D'Angelo
Anyway, don't. And people just, you know, let's think positive, though. Yeah, no, let's do think positive. And also, I am really anti filler, anti botox, anti. The whole thing.
Jeff Lewis
What time is your appointment tomorrow? 10:30am okay, so you confirmed 10:30.
Jamie Kennedy
Yes. You're anti filler. But you just took a call about getting filler live.
Beverly D'Angelo
No, I said it's not filler. I said it's for FU and a biopsy.
Jeff Lewis
What's FU5?
Beverly D'Angelo
FU5 what? He injects to take the inflammation down due to the particulate that was injected in me in 2001. It's. It's actually an anti. Skin cancer. It's a skin cancer drug.
Jeff Lewis
Okay.
Beverly D'Angelo
You know, all right. Sorry.
Jeff Lewis
No, it's. It's fine, Bev. I just. I'm glad you're okay.
Jamie Kennedy
I'm.
Beverly D'Angelo
I'm fine. And if something happens, we'll talk about it, okay?
Jeff Lewis
Jamie, is it true that you used to work at Domino's Pizza?
Jamie Kennedy
I did.
Beverly D'Angelo
Oh, Domino's Pizza. They're a good one.
Jamie Kennedy
They are. They rebranded.
Jeff Lewis
Bev, did you deliver?
Jamie Kennedy
I used to deliver.
Jeff Lewis
Did you ever make pizzas?
Jamie Kennedy
No, it was delivery, but I could do It LA or Pennsylvania? I worked in the one in Pennsylvania and then I did so good when I went to la, I got a recommendation.
Beverly D'Angelo
Wow, a recommendation.
Jamie Kennedy
That's kind of Connie esque of me, isn't it? Yes, it's Connie esque.
Beverly D'Angelo
What's Connie Ask?
Jamie Kennedy
Corporate Connie. Connie Ask. That's Corporate Connie over there. She just waved at you.
Beverly D'Angelo
Stay on track, everyone. Okay.
Jamie Kennedy
And she's the head of the tsa and she's making sure everything.
Jeff Lewis
No, that's by the Book Betty.
Jamie Kennedy
Oh, yeah, by the book Betty.
Beverly D'Angelo
By the book Betty.
Jamie Kennedy
And so I used to work at the one in North Hollywood, and I had a lot.
Beverly D'Angelo
Wait a minute. On what?
Jamie Kennedy
Cross Street, I think Riverside. That one right there.
Beverly D'Angelo
I used to go to that all the time to pick up pizzas for my kids. All the time?
Jeff Lewis
Yeah. But he delivered. So you would not have met him.
Jamie Kennedy
No, I wouldn't have met him. I might have delivered to you.
Beverly D'Angelo
Well, it would be. That would have been in 2002. No, this 2008.
Jamie Kennedy
I wasn't delivering pieces in 2008.
Beverly D'Angelo
No, you'd made it by then.
Jamie Kennedy
I was doing okay, but thank you, babe. This was in the early 90s.
Beverly D'Angelo
Thank you.
Jamie Kennedy
Bab in 93. Oh, and you want to know who one of my customers are? There's two stories.
Beverly D'Angelo
I got Mel Gibson.
Jamie Kennedy
No. Down at the corner, was Derek Jones. Close.
Beverly D'Angelo
Reggie Stewart.
Jamie Kennedy
No. I used to deliver to a guy and it was D.L. hughley. D.L. hughley. Do you know who that is?
Beverly D'Angelo
Bev? No.
Jamie Kennedy
He's a hilarious comedian. Amazing comedian. And I told him I wanted to be a comic, and then he encouraged me as a stand up. I was a pizza delivery guy. That's DL right there. I believe he has a show on Sirius.
Beverly D'Angelo
Wow.
Jamie Kennedy
Also, I was a maid for a company called you'd Got It Made. And you would do morning shifts and afternoon shifts and. And at one time, and I talked about this in my book.
Beverly D'Angelo
Were you a good cleaner?
Jamie Kennedy
Amazing cleaner. I have a whole system. Really?
Beverly D'Angelo
Do you have ocd?
Jeff Lewis
I can't see.
Jamie Kennedy
Oh. Oh, dude, do you have ocd? I'm incredible. I might have it.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah. Alyssa says you do.
Jamie Kennedy
Ish, ish, ish. You know, I like to get rid of things and stuff.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah.
Jamie Kennedy
But it's a whole system of how do you start from the tub, and then you work your way out from the tub through the whole apartment?
Beverly D'Angelo
I thought you.
Jamie Kennedy
Thank you.
Beverly D'Angelo
But you go from the top down in any given room, correct?
Jamie Kennedy
Yes, that is correct.
Beverly D'Angelo
Yeah.
Jamie Kennedy
I didn't know that because the dust you Want to get all the dust down. The last thing you do in anything is the floors.
Beverly D'Angelo
Yeah.
Jamie Kennedy
And then you wipe out.
Beverly D'Angelo
And as you go, Jeff's going, oh.
Jamie Kennedy
And you move.
Beverly D'Angelo
He does all this building, all this redo, and he's never cleaned anything.
Jamie Kennedy
Because, Jeff, let's say you do the floor and then you're doing the ceiling.
Jeff Lewis
Makes sense.
Jamie Kennedy
Where's the dust go?
Jeff Lewis
I get it.
Jamie Kennedy
Totally makes sense. Exactly.
Beverly D'Angelo
I feel the same way about showering. Start from the top and go down.
Jamie Kennedy
Start with your hair. Yes, yes.
Beverly D'Angelo
So you can let the conditioner sit on it.
Jamie Kennedy
Yes. For five minutes.
Beverly D'Angelo
Yeah.
Jamie Kennedy
And I was Jeanine Garofalo, who was another great comedian.
Beverly D'Angelo
Yes.
Jamie Kennedy
I was her maid.
Beverly D'Angelo
Really?
Jeff Lewis
You were her maid?
Jamie Kennedy
I was her maid. And I was D.L. hughley's pizza man.
Beverly D'Angelo
Let me ask you a question.
Jamie Kennedy
Isn't that wild?
Beverly D'Angelo
When you were cleaning up after people, did you ever form an opinion about them?
Jamie Kennedy
All the time.
Beverly D'Angelo
Did you go through her underwear? Did you do her laundry?
Jamie Kennedy
I kind of. There was a thing where the underwear that the laundry was out.
Jeff Lewis
Yes. But you didn't do laundry. You just would pick it up and.
Jamie Kennedy
Put it in the bag and put it in it. Yeah.
Beverly D'Angelo
Would you have charged extra for laundry?
Jamie Kennedy
I think it is an upcharge.
Jeff Lewis
Is it still in existence?
Jamie Kennedy
What, the maid service? Yeah, I think it was a West side. It might be. It was perfect for struggling actors and comedians because you could pick a shift. So I would go at 6am be done by noon and have the rest of the day. So I would do that. I did a lot of jobs like that.
Jeff Lewis
I did want to ask you because you, you know, you threw out these phrases like corporate Connie, sensitive stuff.
Beverly D'Angelo
You have a lot of catchphrases.
Jamie Kennedy
He really does.
Beverly D'Angelo
He's a catchphrase kind of guy.
Jamie Kennedy
I like it.
Jeff Lewis
I like it. And I have a few more.
Beverly D'Angelo
I'm just curious.
Jeff Lewis
Do you ever use Micromanaging Marge?
Jamie Kennedy
Oh, no, I liked it.
Beverly D'Angelo
Micromanaging Marge.
Jamie Kennedy
Jeff, you like this stuff. Go ahead. I like this.
Jeff Lewis
Deadline. Deadline Debbie.
Beverly D'Angelo
Oh, what about Provoking Polly?
Jeff Lewis
We've got Punctual Paula.
Jamie Kennedy
Punctual Punctual Paula could also be over there. She's over there.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah. Bossy Brenda.
Jamie Kennedy
Oh, yes.
Jeff Lewis
Nervous Nancy. We've all heard that.
Beverly D'Angelo
Yeah, yeah.
Jeff Lewis
Forgetful Franny.
Beverly D'Angelo
Oh, that's good. That's good.
Jeff Lewis
Sarcastic Sally.
Jamie Kennedy
Yeah, yeah.
Jeff Lewis
Tipsy Tina.
Beverly D'Angelo
Shout out.
Jamie Kennedy
She was a Tipsy Tina. You had to use it in a sentence. Well, we all went out the other night and, you know.
Beverly D'Angelo
You did Tipsy Tina. Go with you.
Jamie Kennedy
Yeah. What happened to Joey? Well, she was. She was a tipsy Tina.
Jeff Lewis
She was a tipsy Tina.
Jamie Kennedy
There we go.
Jeff Lewis
And then we all. And then also Joey was a dramatic. Dana.
Jamie Kennedy
Yeah.
Beverly D'Angelo
By the way, speaking of Joey, the chumps that came.
Jamie Kennedy
Wait, I wouldn't want to add one more. Because I used to call Alyssa OSHA because she's an OSHA person. So give me an OSHA one. Like Olivia. Olivia, osha. Alyssa, my girlfriend would say something and she goes, that's not OSHA compliant. Like, she knows all the osha. Do you know what OSHA is? Connie, will you tell her?
Beverly D'Angelo
OSHA monitors. Like, what are the color workers? I believe any workers. Oh, any workers. Okay, so something. What's the OS like? For example, there was someone working on the lights here, and something was wrong and it fell. OSHA would be covering. So what does OSHA stand for?
Jamie Kennedy
Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
Beverly D'Angelo
Thank you, Sean.
Jamie Kennedy
Shane.
Beverly D'Angelo
When I said Shane. Oh, fuck.
Jamie Kennedy
You call me Jeff.
Jeff Lewis
You're tired. You're tired.
Beverly D'Angelo
Look at. Look. You look amazing. See my gaze?
Jeff Lewis
Yep. Your gaze.
Beverly D'Angelo
My gaze, man.
Jamie Kennedy
Is this the first time you're realizing you're a gay icon?
Beverly D'Angelo
No, it's just.
Jamie Kennedy
I want to tell a story after this.
Beverly D'Angelo
Then forget anything. Forget my answer. Tell your story.
Jamie Kennedy
Okay. Cause it's just making me think about this. I worked in a movie. I'm not going to say Finding Bliss. You would think close, but you would think these guys were gay, but they're not. They were a European, and there were four guys, and all they did was hair and makeup.
Beverly D'Angelo
Okay.
Jamie Kennedy
And every day, these guys would make the freshest pasta.
Beverly D'Angelo
Oh, yeah.
Jamie Kennedy
And they say, don't eat that. It is terrible.
Beverly D'Angelo
It is terrible. It's Terry Bell. It is.
Jamie Kennedy
And they would eat. That is disgusting pasta.
Beverly D'Angelo
That's right.
Jamie Kennedy
Every day they all cook. And these guys were not gay. But if you ever saw.
Beverly D'Angelo
They're Italian.
Jamie Kennedy
If you ever. Exactly. Did you ever see the musical Mamma Mia. With what's her name? Reese Witherspoon? The movie? It was Legally Blonde, but there's a musical, which I saw because I had a girlfriend at the time. So I had to go and I saw it at the Pantages, okay. And it's called Gay or European. Oh, that never hit until that musical. And then I realized it was real. Because Europeans have the class of an American gay. Does that make sense?
Beverly D'Angelo
It makes total sense. My first husband was European. I was married to an Italian duke.
Jamie Kennedy
Or straight?
Beverly D'Angelo
No, he was very straight. But, yes, it's a finesse. It's A way of living.
Jamie Kennedy
It's a finer thing.
Beverly D'Angelo
It's the finer things.
Jamie Kennedy
Caveat.
Beverly D'Angelo
Because it's traditionally been such an isolated and estranged community that there's an aspirational quality that you have to have when you're oppressed.
Jeff Lewis
There's a lot of budget gays, though.
Jamie Kennedy
Yeah, A lot of budget gays. Oh, yeah.
Jeff Lewis
They're not all classy.
Jamie Kennedy
And then I was gonna say in Bev. And then we have some. Something called High Tops.
Jeff Lewis
Yes.
Beverly D'Angelo
What are high tops? See, he's got a way.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, they love Babbitt.
Jamie Kennedy
High Tops. High top.
Jeff Lewis
And Jamie. Because they're both gay icons.
Beverly D'Angelo
Okay, but what?
Jamie Kennedy
Well, High Top Henry's.
Beverly D'Angelo
What? High Top Henry's.
Jamie Kennedy
High Tops is a place where you get two for ones.
Beverly D'Angelo
No, it's just two. What do you get for one?
Jamie Kennedy
It's a gay bar.
Beverly D'Angelo
But what'd you get two of?
Jeff Lewis
No, he's saying drinks.
Jamie Kennedy
Oh, coupons.
Beverly D'Angelo
Oh, okay.
Jeff Lewis
Do you realize that eight of these catchphrases I just counted apply to Jameson?
Jamie Kennedy
Which. Oh, probably. Let's go through them again, please.
Jeff Lewis
Micromanaging Marge, Deadline Debbie, Bossy Brenda, Nervous Nancy, Punctual Paula, Corporate Connie, Sensitive Sally.
Jamie Kennedy
And if all this isn't met, she.
Jeff Lewis
Becomes by the Book Betty.
Jamie Kennedy
They're all.
Jeff Lewis
They all apply to Jameson.
Beverly D'Angelo
Thank you. I take the compliment, I receive it.
Jeff Lewis
I don't know if it's a compliment, but I'm just. And they do apply to you.
Jamie Kennedy
If she doesn't meet her deadline, she becomes Darlene. Diarrhea.
Jeff Lewis
He has ibs.
Beverly D'Angelo
Accurate. This is all accurate.
Jeff Lewis
It's known he suffers from ibs.
Beverly D'Angelo
Bev.
Jamie Kennedy
Bev.
Beverly D'Angelo
Oh, ouch.
Jamie Kennedy
He is. She is. He is very, very meticulous. Good for you.
Jeff Lewis
Good.
Jamie Kennedy
So corporate from 9 to 5. 501 when he Fred Flintstoned it. That means, you know, as you know, kicking the. He is wearing a ball gag.
Beverly D'Angelo
I'm a Work hard, play hard.
Jeff Lewis
He's a very play hard Paul.
Jamie Kennedy
Ball guy.
Beverly D'Angelo
I mean, I'm at my job. I have a new place. I haven't for so long. That's great. Thank you. I don't have a ball.
Jamie Kennedy
Yes, but you. What? There's some. A tail.
Beverly D'Angelo
There would be nothing wrong if I did, but I don't.
Jamie Kennedy
A tail.
Beverly D'Angelo
Ding, ding, ding. I win.
Jamie Kennedy
A tail.
Beverly D'Angelo
No, no tails.
Jamie Kennedy
Okay, but tail. You're open to this?
Beverly D'Angelo
I'm just saying it's not a problem if I win.
Jamie Kennedy
This is what I'm saying, cuz I the most.
Beverly D'Angelo
What's a tail, Jack? Actual tail.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, Taylor in Texas thinks you're a gay icon. Jamie, what's a tail?
Jamie Kennedy
Taylor, what's a tail? Okay, we'll tell you about what a tail.
Jeff Lewis
Hi, Taylor.
Beverly D'Angelo
Is that when you stick something up your. But.
Jeff Lewis
So you think Jamie's a gay icon?
Beverly D'Angelo
I'm in the car. Okay. He. I don't know. Oscar thinks it's a reach too. But he's in Romeo and Juliet. I'm watching it with my daughter the other day, who's nine. Like, holy shit. I forgot Jamie Kennedy is in this. Look at you. That's insane.
Jamie Kennedy
I can lose £30.
Beverly D'Angelo
Look at that. That's crazy. What's going on?
Jamie Kennedy
I can lose it. But I was. I went nothing but water and treadmill and. Remember Medarex? I used to drink Metorex every day. What's that? It was a drink. Then all you do is drink it. And it was your protein. I drink two a day and that's it.
Beverly D'Angelo
Drinks Jake.
Jamie Kennedy
But that's it. I ate no food.
Jeff Lewis
How much did you weigh in that movie?
Jamie Kennedy
Probably 158. I have to lose 40 pounds. Wow. Yeah.
Beverly D'Angelo
No, you don't look right there.
Jamie Kennedy
What do you mean? We're all supposed to be skinny and wild.
Beverly D'Angelo
A drug addict.
Jamie Kennedy
Well, that's kind of what we were.
Beverly D'Angelo
Well, yeah, but I mean, that doesn't look like Taylor.
Jamie Kennedy
That. That. I wanted you to know something. Mgk. Who has great. Who has great. Thank you. Who has the pink hair? Where do you think he got it?
Jeff Lewis
No.
Jamie Kennedy
Yes.
Beverly D'Angelo
Can we say this though?
Jamie Kennedy
And this was bad.
Beverly D'Angelo
Beverly's tits in National Lampoons. What?
Jeff Lewis
If you have your tits?
Beverly D'Angelo
My tits.
Jamie Kennedy
I know.
Beverly D'Angelo
Those are gay icons. They are the first breasts Many, many a lad saw.
Jamie Kennedy
Were they out? Were they out?
Jeff Lewis
Yeah.
Jamie Kennedy
In the first vacation.
Beverly D'Angelo
I was totally nude in the first vacation. Twice. Once in the shower and once when I jumped in the pool.
Jamie Kennedy
You know what's weird? I kind of don't remember that.
Beverly D'Angelo
What are you nuts?
Jamie Kennedy
I think I do.
Jeff Lewis
How do you not remember?
Beverly D'Angelo
What? Are you gay?
Jamie Kennedy
Yeah. In the first vacation. I have to go back to it. Okay, all right. I didn't know because it was like a comedy.
Jeff Lewis
Why would this make you a gay icon? Romeo and Juliet?
Jamie Kennedy
Because it's very gay friendly. It's majestic, it's magical. Everything is sparkly. Everything is beige.
Jeff Lewis
Write it.
Jamie Kennedy
No, but we're all people.
Beverly D'Angelo
That's a little cliche. Leo.
Jeff Lewis
I think it's a reach.
Beverly D'Angelo
Leo. That's a little cliche.
Jamie Kennedy
Leo is in his androgynous.
Beverly D'Angelo
It's sparkly. Ergo, it's gay. Vegas is Sparkly.
Jamie Kennedy
And there's a lot of gay.
Jeff Lewis
No, Vegas is not gay.
Beverly D'Angelo
Vegas is the straight capital of America.
Jamie Kennedy
But there's a lot of.
Beverly D'Angelo
And it's very conservative.
Jamie Kennedy
Okay, Liberace was in Vegas forever.
Beverly D'Angelo
So what? He was closeted.
Jamie Kennedy
He denied it, but he was gay. Tell that to his jacuzzi. I mean, he was just because he closeted. What I'm saying is, is this wrong to say that gays like sparkly, extravagant.
Beverly D'Angelo
Wrong to say anything. That's. That's an assumption.
Jeff Lewis
She speaks for all the gays now.
Beverly D'Angelo
You can't pigeonhole people.
Jamie Kennedy
Why not?
Beverly D'Angelo
Being gay is simply a factor. The same way that you having blue eyes is a factor.
Jamie Kennedy
Okay. I'm Irish, you know, I like potatoes.
Jeff Lewis
I think Taylor. I think Taylor regrets calling. Sorry, Taylor.
Jamie Kennedy
Don't.
Beverly D'Angelo
I'm just saying. Hey, love is love. So Romeo and Juliet. Love it.
Jamie Kennedy
I don't know. Wow. It's not very gay. According to the.
Beverly D'Angelo
Where are you driving to?
Jamie Kennedy
Gay's like dull colors.
Beverly D'Angelo
I'm literally on my way to go get Botox. So when you said you were anti Botox, I went, shit, Beth.
Jamie Kennedy
No.
Beverly D'Angelo
Well, no, here's the thing.
Jeff Lewis
She's anti filler.
Beverly D'Angelo
Face tape. You can face tape, but also I'm anti filler, but I just read something because I go to the University of TikTok every night when I'm doom scrolling and they said that Botox gets into your brain. Oh, I also have to thank you. That pro tip about how to suck your husband off on the edge of the bed. Yeah. Thank you. You're welco. Sword swallowing. Sword swallowing. Same thing.
Jeff Lewis
And did you remember when she said relax the throat? Squeeze the tube is what you said too.
Beverly D'Angelo
Oh, you do you press it.
Jeff Lewis
You said squeeze the like.
Beverly D'Angelo
No, press the little tube. Press the.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, I think it meant like squeeze the shaft.
Beverly D'Angelo
No, no, no, no. You just press it poor, tight and squeezed.
Jamie Kennedy
Wait, are you. You're saying underneath.
Beverly D'Angelo
No, we're not going to go into. You know that little tube that allows the sperm to come. Yeah, that's not the urethra.
Jamie Kennedy
See, this is my theory.
Beverly D'Angelo
It's a seminal tube.
Jamie Kennedy
Bev, I don't even have to know this, but I'm pretty sure she's a phenomenal singer. Right?
Beverly D'Angelo
I was.
Jamie Kennedy
I don't sing enough, but singers usually are good at what she says.
Jeff Lewis
So, Taylor, what did you do exactly?
Beverly D'Angelo
Smart.
Jeff Lewis
Different.
Jamie Kennedy
Thank you.
Beverly D'Angelo
You know a lot of.
Jeff Lewis
With your husband, what did you do differently?
Beverly D'Angelo
She loved him. I blew him because, you know, he doesn't get that often Enough anymore. I'm MJ in that regard. I'm not giving it to him enough.
Jeff Lewis
Okay, so you decided to. You were in a generous mood.
Beverly D'Angelo
I was isolated. He booked me a trip to Cabo right after.
Jamie Kennedy
So I was like winning.
Jeff Lewis
See, I tell you, these women out there, you need to start giving more blowjobs.
Jamie Kennedy
Do you know what you would be?
Beverly D'Angelo
I would know. Taylor, I want to adjust something. My sweetheart, please don't, don't, don't adopt the mindset that you can trade sex for a favor. It's an expression of.
Jeff Lewis
But you can and you should. She's going to Cabo.
Jamie Kennedy
You know what? She's becoming a suck off. Sally.
Beverly D'Angelo
You turn the cameras off.
Jamie Kennedy
You turn the cameras off for that.
Jeff Lewis
Well, congratulations, Taylor. Enjoy the trip to Cabo.
Beverly D'Angelo
We love you, Taylor. I love you all so much.
Jeff Lewis
Punctual. Paula wants us to take a break.
Jamie Kennedy
Yeah.

Beverly D'Angelo
So I want to make something perfectly clear. The film that I just made last hand, I made my talking about it all about me, me, me. I want to say this. Nate Dushku, the director with Amy Loy, the writer. Together. This is a fabulous creative couple and a wonderful union, in fact and in life. And they enabled me in a way I've never been enabled or empowered before. But the brilliance is them that I just wanted to make that clear. It's not all about me. It's them. It's a beautiful script. Last hand. We'll talk about it. Let us pray that a film that was made with such perfect and pure intention can be delivered to an audience that finds it.
Jeff Lewis
So you're looking for some sort of Oscar nom?
Jamie Kennedy
Sounds like someone wants to be in the sequel. Just saying.
Beverly D'Angelo
There's no sequel.
Jamie Kennedy
Can we go back to Jeff? This Spray tan?
Jeff Lewis
Yes.
Jamie Kennedy
I worry about you.
Jeff Lewis
Okay.
Jamie Kennedy
Okay, so you don't know this about me, but I've had health issues every 10 years. It's weird. And I'm very fortunate to get them taken care of. Of one of them is I had a baby melanoma on my back. My brother saved my life, who I fight with all the time. He's like, you got a weird thing on your back. I got to take it off. Melanoma is very easy to fix, but if it goes in, it's not great. So my sister had a melanoma. I wore sunscreen. All this shit my whole life. I was always out of the sun.
Beverly D'Angelo
Sunscreen's bad for you.
Jamie Kennedy
100%.
Beverly D'Angelo
Yeah.
Jamie Kennedy
So all the stuff in our environment that's supposed to protect us from our environment is the bad shit. The good shit is the good shit. So the sun is not bad for you. So if you take beef tallow. And by the way, I've had a lot of chumps hit me up since I said beef tallow the last show. And you put it all on your skin with zinc, and you go in that sun before 2 and after 4.
Beverly D'Angelo
No, just.
Jamie Kennedy
It's gotta be before noon.
Beverly D'Angelo
Before noon.
Jamie Kennedy
Okay. Before noon, you will get this color that you have completely chemical free.
Beverly D'Angelo
Honestly, the best time is around sunrise because those are. Those are different rays. And it also. I, you know, I'll be at the.
Jeff Lewis
Buffet in Hawaii during that time.
Jamie Kennedy
But, Jeff, you have this color because you are probably. You have Italian in your blood.
Jeff Lewis
No.
Jamie Kennedy
You're European.
Jeff Lewis
Yes.
Jamie Kennedy
Okay. You can get this color. Do you agree with what I'm saying or.
Beverly D'Angelo
No, I agree with what you're saying in that anything that you put on your skin ultimately is absorbed by your body. Women, it's estimated they absorb up to, like, 32 pounds of makeup. And that's all the junk that's in makeup.
Jamie Kennedy
Let me go with you. Add this to Bev.
Beverly D'Angelo
Plastic bottles. Jesus.
Jamie Kennedy
There's the equivalent of a plastic bottle in our brain through our ears. Do you know this?
Beverly D'Angelo
What about this? What about plastic toothbrushes?
Jamie Kennedy
Oh, forget it.
Beverly D'Angelo
That's. We're brushing tooth.
Jeff Lewis
People are turning the channel right now.
Jamie Kennedy
No, they're not. Jeff. I want to say this. My mom worked as a secretary and she used to spray Aquanet before school, and I inhaled that shit.
Jeff Lewis
That shit works, though.
Jamie Kennedy
I know that works, but that might explain why I'm so messed up.
Jeff Lewis
We called it like liquid cement.
Jamie Kennedy
Oh, my God.
Beverly D'Angelo
Yeah.
Jamie Kennedy
I got so much Aquaneties. Oh, yeah.
Jeff Lewis
So they still make Aqua Net.
Jamie Kennedy
No, because of the whole ozone situation.
Beverly D'Angelo
It's too bad.
Jeff Lewis
It works.
Beverly D'Angelo
Thank God that I had those commune years where I was living on the floor of the forest. I think that those really reset me, connected me with nature. And I go back to that all the time. Because as an. As someone who, like, you know, chose an alternate lifestyle, I think it put me in good stead, healthy wise.
Jeff Lewis
What were you taking. What were you saying about Pamela Anderson at the break?
Beverly D'Angelo
She doesn't wear makeup.
Jamie Kennedy
Well, I was saying that there's a new anti makeup thing happening now. Alyssa.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, I think she looks terrible.
Jamie Kennedy
Oh, my gosh, really does. Jeff.
Jeff Lewis
I think she needs some makeup.
Jamie Kennedy
Jeff.
Jeff Lewis
She's a beautiful woman, but she needs makeup.
Jamie Kennedy
Jeff. Sorry, Jeff.
Jeff Lewis
I know a lot of people think that. Or just me.
Jamie Kennedy
Or is it. Well, I'm sure in West Hollywood those claws are coming out after 11 o'.
Beverly D'Angelo
Clock.
Jamie Kennedy
Talking about this subject, Correct?
Jeff Lewis
I don't know.
Jamie Kennedy
Well, okay, but you're saying. Do you think that's right? That he just said that?
Beverly D'Angelo
Beth, I. I'm pleading the Fifth.
Jeff Lewis
Just my opinion.
Jamie Kennedy
Oh, you're put. Okay, well, here's what I think.
Jeff Lewis
Some. Some people look better without makeup.
Jamie Kennedy
Here. Here's the thing. I.
Jeff Lewis
With makeup.
Jamie Kennedy
Sorry. I tell Alyssa.
Beverly D'Angelo
Which reminds me, do you know any place I can get my eyelashes dyed? Do you get your eyelashes dyed?
Jeff Lewis
No, of course not.
Beverly D'Angelo
Okay, go ahead, Annie.
Jeff Lewis
But maybe Annie does. Do you know, Go to strike. Where is it?
Beverly D'Angelo
It's where Kristen. Because they do it with vegetable dye.
Jamie Kennedy
Who?
Beverly D'Angelo
Kristin Takeman? Yeah. Vegetable dye. They use the vegetable dye.
Jeff Lewis
She dyes her eyelashes.
Beverly D'Angelo
I don't know if she dyes her eyelashes, but she does her eyebrows there.
Jamie Kennedy
And they definitely do.
Jeff Lewis
You need to do your eyelashes or your eyebrows.
Beverly D'Angelo
I don't want to do my brows because I tried it once and I look like Groucho Marx. But I do want to do my eyelashes from. With those people that do vegetable dye, because you can do it.
Jeff Lewis
So can they do eyelashes at Strike?
Beverly D'Angelo
Yes, but I'm not sure that they do vegetable dye.
Jeff Lewis
Can we look it up?
Beverly D'Angelo
I don't want to take it off track. J. Jamie's on a. I wasn't.
Jamie Kennedy
No, no.
Jeff Lewis
Thank you for taking it off track.
Beverly D'Angelo
Also, I want to apologize to everybody who ever lived. I am an interrupter and I'm working on it.
Jamie Kennedy
You know what, though?
Jeff Lewis
You're really working on it. But it's okay.
Beverly D'Angelo
I'm working on it.
Jeff Lewis
You're not working on it.
Beverly D'Angelo
I'm working on it.
Jamie Kennedy
Bev, you took a You took.
Beverly D'Angelo
I'm working on it.
Jamie Kennedy
You took a phone call.
Beverly D'Angelo
I'm working on it.
Jamie Kennedy
In front of millions.
Beverly D'Angelo
I took a phone call.
Jamie Kennedy
Who, of course, texted me in the middle of this. Listening to the show. Doug. Shout out Doug. And Doug said, here I am doing a guest spot on the Hughleys. Oh, of course.
Jeff Lewis
So Doug.
Jamie Kennedy
So the comedian who I. His pizza delivery man. He had a sitcom and Doug was on it. So everything just comes back.
Jeff Lewis
Can we do. Can we do a game now?
Beverly D'Angelo
Yes.
Jeff Lewis
Okay. Let's do a new installment of the Jeff Lewis live casting couch. We have actors Beverly d' Angelo and Jamie Kennedy auditioning for roles in the movie Pretty Woman. Beverly, you'll be playing the role of a snooty Beverly Hills saleswoman. And Jamie, you'll be. You'll be playing the role of rags to riches sex worker. Vivian as Nya or Nya as Vivian. Is it Vivian as Nya or Naya? As Vivian.
Jamie Kennedy
Vivian as Naya.
Jeff Lewis
I'll be reading the stage. Stage directions. Good luck and may the best woman ever.
Beverly D'Angelo
Can I just say something? I would really like to do this as, like, the worst actor in the world and emphasize, like, words that an actor never would. I could ruin it, in other words. But you'd prefer that I didn't ruin it, right?
Jeff Lewis
I would say let's not ruin it.
Beverly D'Angelo
Okay, fine.
Jamie Kennedy
Is this for, like, another booking or. Why are we doing this? This is to get a second hour show. Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
Okay, here we go. A very expensive boutique. Vivian enters the shop. A saleswoman seated on the sofa looks up at her.
Beverly D'Angelo
May I help you?
Jamie Kennedy
Um, I'm just checking things out.
Beverly D'Angelo
Are you looking for something in particular?
Jamie Kennedy
Nah. Well, yeah.
Beverly D'Angelo
Mm.
Jamie Kennedy
Something conservative.
Jeff Lewis
She looks at a dummy wearing a very elegant suit. The saleswoman looks up and down at Vivian's costume and answers with a forced smile.
Beverly D'Angelo
Yes.
Jamie Kennedy
You've got nice stuff.
Beverly D'Angelo
Thank you.
Jamie Kennedy
How much?
Jeff Lewis
Vivian looks at another dummy wearing a very elegant light colored dress.
Beverly D'Angelo
I don't think this would fit you.
Jamie Kennedy
Well, I didn't ask if it would fit. I asked how much it was. Was. Okay.
Beverly D'Angelo
It's very expensive.
Jamie Kennedy
Okay, Look, I've got money to spend, okay?
Jeff Lewis
She starts walking nervously around the shop.
Beverly D'Angelo
I don't think we have. Wait a minute. I don't think we have anything for you. You're obviously in the wrong place. Please leave.
Jeff Lewis
The saleswoman is staring at Vivian, who seems thunderstruck by this unexpected blow. She walks to the door and leaves the shop.
Beverly D'Angelo
Shop.
Jeff Lewis
We are back inside the boutique from which Vivian was very rudely ejected the day before.
Jamie Kennedy
Hi.
Beverly D'Angelo
Hello.
Jamie Kennedy
Remember me? Apparently.
Beverly D'Angelo
No, I'm. Oh, go.
Jeff Lewis
Apparently the saleswoman doesn't recognize this very elegant woman as being the one she was rude to the day before.
Beverly D'Angelo
No, I'm sorry.
Jamie Kennedy
I was in here yesterday. You wouldn't wait on me, remember? Oh, you work in commission, right?
Beverly D'Angelo
Yes.
Jeff Lewis
Vivian shows her all the bags she's carrying.
Jamie Kennedy
Big mistake. Big. Huge. I have to go shopping. Now.
Jeff Lewis
She walks away, leaving the saleswoman with a very surprised look on her face.
Jamie Kennedy
Bye.
Jeff Lewis
Great job, Beverly. And Jamie.
Jamie Kennedy
I was watching art.
Jeff Lewis
All right, Jamie, So there is something that I know you've been hiding from us that we. We. I don't know why it took so long to find out this information, but is it true that you used to be a clown?
Jamie Kennedy
Big time. You still work as a clown, A professional party clown.
Beverly D'Angelo
You. You still work as a clown, right?
Jamie Kennedy
That hurts my feelings. Will I ever get the respect, Bev? I respect clowns, by the way, if I. My biggest goal in life right now more than anything, is to become a jester, because they have something called jester's privilege. And it's the only person in the kingdom who can make fun of the king and not be beheaded.
Beverly D'Angelo
But doesn't a jester have to be, like, private? You would need a patron. A jester seems to be a private person.
Jamie Kennedy
No, the jester sits next to the king and can make fun of anyone, including the king, and not be beheaded.
Beverly D'Angelo
But the king hires him is what I'm saying. Whereas a clown that's kind of anybody can hire them.
Jeff Lewis
You kind of are the Jeff Lewis.
Jamie Kennedy
Live jester, which is a compliment. Yes. But this circus music. So I used to juggle. I don't know if you know this. And I used to ride a unicycle.
Jeff Lewis
Bags, but I gotta say same.
Beverly D'Angelo
Did you ever do a chainsaw and a bag of ice kind of thing?
Jamie Kennedy
That's too much. But as in one of my. In my struggling years, which we're talking about. I got a job also when I was a maid, as a party clown. And I can make you a dog. I can make you a cat.
Jeff Lewis
You can?
Jamie Kennedy
Yeah. I can't make you flamingo. Those are very hard to do.
Jeff Lewis
Why would you think I'd want a flamingo?
Jamie Kennedy
I mean, a lot of people requested that.
Jeff Lewis
That's a lot the gays request.
Jamie Kennedy
Oh, my God.
Beverly D'Angelo
Is that why a sparkly flamingo stick? Yes.
Jamie Kennedy
There he goes.
Beverly D'Angelo
There he goes again.
Jamie Kennedy
Flamingo lavender balloon for the lips. It's a whole to do. Wow. Yeah, wow.
Beverly D'Angelo
That is queen I'd be happy with the dog.
Jamie Kennedy
You'd be happy with little dog? Yeah, yeah, but little dog.
Beverly D'Angelo
So you were a maid slash party clown.
Jamie Kennedy
Maid slash party clown.
Beverly D'Angelo
You were a hyphen.
Jamie Kennedy
I did so many things. Catering, anything you needed.
Jeff Lewis
But didn't your clown costume get stolen?
Jamie Kennedy
Yes. This is when I hit a rock. I was watching abc.
Jeff Lewis
This is when you hit rock bottom.
Jamie Kennedy
This is when I hit rock bottom.
Beverly D'Angelo
Bottom down.
Jamie Kennedy
1992. I was living in Koreatown. It was right before the riots. And I was watching an interview with Halle Berry. Oh, no. Geena Davis. And she just come off Delma Louise, huge movie, peeking. And they said, did you ever think like you would never make it? And with her beautiful face and classy smile said, oh, no. I always knew I was gonna make it. I opened up my refrigerator, I saw ketchup, ice cubes, Wonder bread. And I started to cry and I said, I'm never gonna make it. Oh. Because the day before, I parked my car in the tow zone, and the car was being towed as I went out. And I had all my clown outfits in it.
Jeff Lewis
Thank God this happened.
Jamie Kennedy
This. The car was being towed. Are you ready for this, Bev? It was smashed in. My wallet was in there. That was stolen, so I couldn't pay for the car. My clown outfit was stolen, and there was dog shit. What? All in the car.
Jeff Lewis
What?
Beverly D'Angelo
What? Yes.
Jamie Kennedy
So this.
Beverly D'Angelo
How long had you been outside of the car?
Jamie Kennedy
I parked it because I didn't know that they would tow it at 7am.
Beverly D'Angelo
But how long was it there that enabled a homeless person to come in with his clothes?
Jamie Kennedy
I was there probably from 1:00am to whatever, seven.
Beverly D'Angelo
So within six hours.
Jamie Kennedy
Yeah. In that part of town, it wasn't the best part of town.
Jeff Lewis
So someone broke in.
Jamie Kennedy
Broke in, stepped in dog shit. Oh. Stole my wallet, Stole my party clown outfit. And then my car was being towed. And somewhere around third in Normandy, there's a guy walking with big bozo shoes.
Jeff Lewis
I was gonna ask you about the shoes.
Jamie Kennedy
Yes.
Jeff Lewis
Were they red?
Jamie Kennedy
They were brown.
Beverly D'Angelo
Oh.
Jamie Kennedy
So then I went back in and the TV was on, and I saw the interview and I started to cry and I said, I'm never gonna make it. Like, I have nothing going on.
Beverly D'Angelo
Bad self defense.
Jamie Kennedy
And then I literally said. I literally sat there, borrowed, like $10 off this woman who was so sweet to me from my acting class. And I had a cup of coffee and I sat there and I said, what else am I gonna do? I'm already at the bottom. There's nowhere for me to go. I don't have anything to go back to. And that's why these people say, oh, I try this because I like this. And no, that's not what this is. This is the last fucking house on the left before heroin. Does that make sense?
Beverly D'Angelo
Have you ever done heroin?
Jamie Kennedy
No, but what I'm saying is people get in the arts because they think it's a. A fun ride. It ain't. It's. It's do or die. Madonna said this. If it is disrespectful to think that you could ever have a fallback plan. You don't have a fallback plan when you're trying to be a doctor. She goes, you have to have your whole life to be put into a doctor.
Beverly D'Angelo
It's also as a destiny. This is what I always said to parents of. Parents of my kids, classmates as they were coming. My son's so talented, he wants to be an actor. Any advice? And I would always say, it is so tough and the business itself is so prohibitive that unless it is really truly your calling and unless you really feel in, unless it's just. You have no choice, you won't make it through. So don't worry about encouraging or discouraging, because if it's within you, you will persist, because that's all you got.
Jamie Kennedy
But let. And let's go deeper. I always tell people.
Beverly D'Angelo
That's what he said last night.
Jamie Kennedy
Bev, I'll do the jokes.
Beverly D'Angelo
Please do.
Jamie Kennedy
No, I always tell people, you can't do the business. The business will do you. Does that make sense? Meaning there is no re. I can't not do this. Whenever I was being a clown or catering, I was always trying to do this. And even when my worst shit smear day, I still was like, I gotta do this.
Beverly D'Angelo
Well, it's. I. I didn't even have that conversation with myself. It's just. This is. This is what I'm doing.
Jamie Kennedy
100.
Beverly D'Angelo
And if it's not happening, it's not happening. If it is, it is. I've always just said yes. I never was a career. I never planned anything ever.
Jeff Lewis
What was your.
Beverly D'Angelo
I still haven't your clown name.
Jamie Kennedy
Dude, this is 30 years ago.
Beverly D'Angelo
You can't remember your clown name?
Jeff Lewis
Oh, he remembers something bad.
Beverly D'Angelo
Oh, what was it?
Jamie Kennedy
Do you know?
Jeff Lewis
I don't know. That's why I'm asking you.
Beverly D'Angelo
No, there were.
Jamie Kennedy
I don't know, there was different clowns.
Jeff Lewis
Did you have. Did you have a wig in the car that got stolen too?
Jamie Kennedy
Yeah, that went.
Jeff Lewis
But all your makeup, your wig, your everything. Got stolen.
Jamie Kennedy
They left the pants.
Beverly D'Angelo
What was.
Jeff Lewis
Why would they leave the pants?
Jamie Kennedy
I don't know. They left the pants.
Beverly D'Angelo
What are they gonna wear jeans?
Jamie Kennedy
They left the pants and they left one nose. I had two big ball noses and they stole one and left the other one.
Beverly D'Angelo
Did you make it out of a ping pong ball?
Jamie Kennedy
No, it's a little squishy thing like a makeup ball.
Beverly D'Angelo
Because there was a clown that was on TV when I was growing up in Columbus, Ohio, and he explained to everybody how to make a clown nose out of a ping pong. That's probably true, but I'm digressing.
Jamie Kennedy
I also had Bart Simpson, which they would not let me keep in the car, which was smart, so I would also play characters. And one of the times I went to a party, the kids said, you're not Bart Simpson. That's not Bart Simpson. And they started kicking me because they knew I wasn't Bart Simpson. What did Bart do back? He had to just take it and go. He's like, hey, don't have a cow. Whatever. I don't have a cowman.
