-- joining us now we have acquired -- from LA he plays -- -- at six Santa helps him out in this predicament.
-- welcomes Michael thank you for being here.
Yeah my pleasure thanks -- -- So we saw a little bit and that of the fell on the set this up for us what what happens to any Murphy's character why this -- have a thousand -- -- you can use.
Well this new age guru.
Ends up kind of putting sort of -- some immunity he means well -- -- -- -- -- in this -- That he has this tree in his backyard with a thousand leaves on every time he says a word or believes falls off and if -- -- fall off.
The assumptions that he will die okay.
As far as -- spoiling the ending that he does not die.
Oh OK -- that was a little bit of a spoiler there and that's -- -- Yeah I'm literally at the -- -- and we are worried I -- tell us about your character how you young men to help announce.
I play and he's assistant who is.
Terrified and sort of an all of Betty at the same time so when he loses the ability to talk I -- -- have to step in and talk -- a lot of instances.
Which.
Obviously does not end well for the most part.
Well leads to some funny the scenarios that would give a -- have you helping them out check out.
-- When you do all the talk.
No no I can't say.
I'm starting to think you set aside and Robert Gilmore VP of that position.
-- read head of marketing is something to choose from.
Handshake while nearly half brother -- Timmy -- ideal.
I am that's right.
And Western Digital print and make kind of a lover of every -- you guys have ever published -- snake -- its service -- here got a -- to bet is that.
I'm -- I could get a lot of fine and they tell me what it was like -- -- is -- a lot of in -- going on.
Yet yet there I mean there was.
It was kind of hard not -- his united church can't talk.
So he kind of found yourself just -- I found myself reacting off of that a lot in.
Scanner Griffin when it but that -- particular is really nerve wracking for me just kids.
I mean it's so.
It's still kind of daily terrifying in general I haven't to do is -- with somebody that -- such a comedy icon he grew up watching and loving and.
You know you just you want to be funny.
And then the direct threat to -- the -- was like I'd just like an impression that he.
So that's a pretty daunting thing.
Try to pull off and right next to somebody with the impression it was so bad that I think it we can pick it didn't even seem like impressions of fun.
And today we you you wouldn't demonstrate Fries what you did or was it the final take what we just saw.
I don't really did a lot of -- of those early hours -- weeks pregnant and -- and that and I don't know its annual maybe they'll be a lot but the finance click on -- gathering all it seems like it would movies like this we had.
Comedian and Letterman is running -- -- we can we -- that.
-- -- what it's like a unique Eddie Murphy laughing you what does that lake as a fellow actor as a -- When you're working with a person like he said we've admired and did you do you get a few laughs out of him and was act as the greatest thing in the world.
I think so yeah I mean it's it's it's it's always pretty satisfying -- getting to work with him and then I also gets diluted Chevy Chase.
Does that same kind of phenomenon yet you wanna impress these guys you know you can hear that you immediately -- a little brother syndrome.
So I I think and then -- a couple times and it's hard to tell us -- I think of them between takes.
And he is automatically the funniest in the room had.
I hope they got a couple in there.
You're our very and -- -- -- a little bit about it on -- their other projects you have going on in eyesight of a new girl.
So what was it light beyond that -- It was fun and I am actually I've been friends of the and and I'm friends -- was -- -- the creator of the show so they kind of just called me and it was.
Just a fun little one off -- -- -- but.
It's cool it's nice to see so -- on TV -- That plays I think.
You know some to people -- a -- totally in.
No it was fun.
Will we see you on a small screening and San.
Not that I know of just on the commercials for this -- the -- happen you -- TV stuff otherwise in the tank riot police.
Spoken with comedians -- naive and stuff online and we spoken with them about how the Internet has kind of changed the business and allowed you.
Can do what you love to hear just by putting it out bearing getting an audience.
And it -- with and giving us a little bit of your story.
Do you like this are you a good representation of how that can lead to big things you and your friend Mike Paul who started here at your wedding series in -- I yeah I would say so.
I mean for anybody doesn't know IA did this show called Clark and Michael on line with Michael's -- that.
And it was my thesis -- in college and it was the you know the first work I did here and yeah 800% led -- everything the movies and he you know all the work I'm doing now so I would I would say yeah I mean people.
Nobody sees -- figure got a great way like monetize.
Any online shows yet.
But as far as a platform for comedians and then you know young actors and it really if you're somebody that can write your own stuff.
But could not be a better opportunity for everybody involved I mean like you said I'm I'm of shining example of blowing up Buffy and I -- It's grainy and how many jobs you wanna -- all because they thought actor writer and musician enemy musician as volume ban this.
Not professionally has now -- and -- and giant has spent the last.
I'm perpetually trying to start a man advantage -- never works -- I never has worked out at any level.
When we -- you on screen -- Well let me ask you the big question -- a thousand word is now if you only had a thousand words how would you use them.
I don't know this is just -- even think about that had happened and -- -- I'm I'm moving this week's probably isn't -- a direct movers were would take myself.
