Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 жов 2024
- Veteran actor and comedian, Jon Lovitz, (Saturday Night Live, The Critic) sits down with Kevin to chat about his beginning in improv comedy leading to a career spanning television and film. Lovitz serenades Kevin with an original tune about the host, opens up about landing a gig on SNL while urging them to hire Phil Hartman as well, and how his entire persona is basically an impression of Wimpy from Popeye.
Jon Lovitz is the greatest comic character of all time. The man who plays him is an absolute trooper.
Watching on UA-cam Years later Kevin,I'm not gonna email. This is good.
Surprisingly this was my favorite interview on KPCS. Laughed several times.

Jon Lovitz as Satan is one of the funniest things I've ever seen, especially when he was on the People's Court telling people to worship him as he's getting kicked out by Rusty.

I loved the Phil Hartman stories. Great to see Jon get real for bit and speak from the heart.
Thoroughly enjoyed all 2 hours of this!
One of the funniest interviews in this wonderful series :) Love it.
This was the funniest chat! Just perfection. I love that you let your guests rift and then gently guide them to the next question when they’re winding down.
Jon Lovitz and Bill Hader are my favorite episodes on this channel.
Some of my favorites, too. Dan Harmon's episode is really good. Scott Aukerman's is good but I think I'd rather see Pollak on CBB. I've been aware of Kevin for a long time but I didn't really appreciate him until I started watching this show.
I love the Phil Hartman stories...god rest his soul
One of the funniest skit that John Lovitz did on SNL involved Jerry Hall(Mrs. Mic Jagger) walking into a bar sitting one seat down from John at the bar and John starts up his biggest liar routine. He is hitting on her and trying to impress her. He notes that the Rolling Stones are in town "and, uh, I'm their manager, yeah, that's the ticket!" So, Jerry hall who was married to Mic at the time says "so, you're telling me you know Mic Jagger?"
John says something ridiculous like "uh, yeah, yeah, I'm his manager and I write all of their songs for them, yeah, that's the ticket!"
Well, about one second later, Mic Jagger walks into the "bar" It had not been announced that he was going to be on the show so, it was every much a surprise.
Jerry says" hey Mic, this guy says he is your manager!" and Lovitz's eyes get huge and this look of Uh oh, I'm sunk comes over his face.
Well, right then Mic Jagger says "uh, yeah, yeah, that's the ticket, yeah, uh remember when You were asking where I was the other night? well, uh, I was with him! Yeah!, yeah! that's the ticket!"
It is one of the funniest guest spot ever on SNL
Jon Lovitz is so wacky and delightful. I laughed so much during this interview.
Just wanted to add that Lovits stories are so interesting and he is so incredibly self deprecating and humble. Just a fantastic interview by Kevin.
No ego. Loved the interview. Tks for posting.
Some people are just funny - jon Lovitz is just that. And he seems to have the best fun with it. Absolutely love jon!!
The Critic is one of my favorites
Trapped in Paradise is worth watching. One of the reviews on imdb complains, "no directing, just gathering some actors together and turning them loose" -- well, Dana Carvey and Jon Lovitz doing whatever they want together is fun-ny.
Love these shows! Well done, everyone! I was so p.o.'d when "The Critic" was canceled. Too good, I guess!
Enjoyed the banter. All psych, comedic, and interview styles and responses.
😂"Sing Your Face Off"! 😂
What a songwriter this guy is
" good for you, Jack " his line from Seinfeld
Yes that was a good one Seinfeld! Jack!
Love this guy even more after this interview.So funny and irreverent.
I saw him in NY and he looks a lot thinner in person.Rock on Jon.
Holy crap, I laughed so hard!! I play these while I edit, but I got zero work done during this one. Of course, I respond well to juvenility, so that didn't help my attention span.
Jon is a very funny and interesting man. I highly recommend The Critic.
2022,..........I was grinning and smiling the whole time,...lots of laughs. Lovitz cracks me up. Whoo-Ha!
I really needed to laugh, so I clicked on this. I'd say it worked out pretty well!
You are such a natural easy going interviewer...love the format length so you can really explore topics fully. GREAT work!
Mr. Lovitz is a Doctor of Comedy.
5:12 Lovitz fart goes almost unnoticed....almost
I'm crying laughing and I've barely seen anything yet..
Nothing beats a fart joke, but I would save it for the closer. It's all about timing Lovitz!
5:15
The thumbnail makes Lovitz look like a Jewish dissident who just got beaten up in a Moscow police station.
DaveDaShrubber 😂
"I turned down...Divorce Court." Love him!
I think the tweet question "Spend time in a mental facility or jump off a building?" is a reference to Jon Lovitz two guest appearances on Newsradio (before he was a regular in season 5) where he was in a mental house with Bill and when he was a disgruntled employee of Jimmy James Inc, and threatened to jump off the building.
I fell in love with John in the moment he told Tom Hanks about how easy the office call was in BIG, he responds with a grin that says so much more than words.
Prairie dogging it. I completely came apart when I heard that. This interview was fantastic!
Jon seems to be all jokes, and doesn't care what he says. Not so, this fellow has a good heart and cares a lot for needy people. Sarcastic and yet totally sincere. Dismissive and yet inclusive. A genuinely sincere and caring genius. 💎
I just wanna be loved, is that so wrooooonnngggggg?!?!! (Jon Lovitz as Harvey Fierstein)
Jon Lovitz: One of the few people in the business who *genuinely* has absolutely no fucks to give.
Miss the show, Chat.
I loved Jon's character in City Slickers II. Hilarious with the Godfather scene.
Jon Lovitz is the funniest comedian ever!
And he is a very nice guy who values his friends. Saw him on some reality show? and he (can't remember the details) brought a friend with him.
I have to say that he is surprisingly good-hearted.
Ya he is! Jon is such a great guy. He is my all time hero. I love jon so much. He is such a sweetheart. And he has such a loving heart for the charities he does. He gave away one of his signed baseball's to raise money for homeless animals. I mean how sweet is that. Jon is a talented actor and comedian and has the most beautiful singing voices I have ever heard in my life. Jon lovitz forever.
Lol
fantastic....thank you!
It’s insane how much Kevin loves to hear himself talk.
I'm a fan of Jon Lovitz voice, especially in The Critic.
Love this interview. So funny.
VERY! VERY enjoyable! I knew it would be...Thanks boys!!!:) #Luvitz
Dear Lord!! I laughed my ass off watching this!!
I saw Lovitz' King Lear at Stratford-Ontario and was hoping he'd talk about it.
Jon Lovitz is the man
God damn I love Jon Lovitz
"Trapped In Paradise." A Holiday(and other Day) Classic, in my opinion.
Dammit, he talked about being on that Sing Your Face Off -- and of course I had to stop and go look. BTW, Trapped in Bear Shit, amazing movie, Donald Moffatt, Angie Paton, Sean MCann, Scrapple, Carvey, Lazar. Never noticed the lack of direction.
a quick youtube search confirms he is INDEED wimpy!
Anyone else notice how many times Lovitz interrupted Pollack?
Pollak, Pollak
Kevin Pollak
Not the Critic
Not MAGOO!
2:17:12 Lovitz mentions the town; My L.K.G. is, "I just pooped my pants... Fanny from Poughkeepsie, you're on the line." One of the best Kevin Pollacks by Chat Show.
He's such a sweetheart
And screw Kevin Smith and his bullshit dissing of Lovitz I love this guy.
He's always wearing a big brown coat what's up with that?
EBONICS! lol
Watching this, four years after its recording, and I am still wondering if Jon's cel got charged... :)
4:01 for the best guest intro in KPCS history.
I liked his cartoon. Buy my book!
10:30 acting! Thank you!
Regarding "very real" acting, I've heard an interview with Virginia Mayo in which she said Cagney terrified her in the scene in White Heat where he (playing Cody Jarrett) is furious with her character. She just said thank God she knew her lines and called Cagney the best teacher.
Lol
40:36 when he starts pointing at himself and it is this random glitchy stuttering pionting thats befrazzeled it is a relflection of his personality and how he expresses himself which makes him an icon of an actor.
I would love for Kevin to have Maurice Lamarche on so they could do dueling Peter Falks.
We used to get high and watch the tape of Shatner singing Rocket Man. It was so hysterical, but like Kevin says, not in a flattering way for Bill. He is clearly bombing in a way nobody ever bombed before.
Great question Miss Fox. To the rescue as usual: ever reliable. Bejesus!!!!
22:15 At this point in the interview, I have to wonder if any of Lovitz's stories DON'T end with an animal dying...:)
This brings up an interesting question: If someone claims to be a pathological liar, can you ever, in fact, know they're a pathological liar? If it's true, then it's false. But if it's false, then it's true! AAAHHHHHH!!!
That's a great idea for a Mac decoration; really smart, why didn't I think of it. Since I'm a straight man who'd never hear the end of it from friends I'll secretly pine for this.
I've never enjoyed a Who Tweeted more than with Lovitz
Jed Mitten time stamp?
Shout outs to grown-up Tina Belcher @59:56
You are so right. So painfully right.
TIMESTAMP!! do they talk about best movie of 2001 (not so hard ) 3000 miles to graceland (they been in it together) ???
Jewish people make the best doctors they are intended to be blessings to the world all of them this is why they are so gifted. 26:08 - check this story out he remembers he was 5 years old and he has an adult conversation with his dad.... Jewish parents most all of them teach there kids to be adults from a young age and to think for themselves and to ponder and ask questions most other parents would have been like "why aren't you in bed go back to sleep or don't worry about it or we'll talk about it later etc. " 27:15 !!! look how they teach there kids .... "Find something you love doing so that you can't wait to get there." Most parents .. don't teach there kids this.
JS Warpaint no they areny and fuck you. Its not a real ethnicity and judaism is a just as much of a plague as any religion.
Asians make the best doctors, everyone knows that. Jews make the best fat comedians, and also, judging from your comment, not very good writers.
i like jon's polo very much
what does jon mean when he says 'they mug a lot there' about groundlings, what is 'mugging' thanks
Its been three months so maybe you have your answer. Mugging is when an actor goes out their way to get noticed in the scene. So Lovitz was talking about actors who try to steal a scene by being bigger than their character is suppose to be.. I was in a play where a critic described my performance as "controlled mugging" I think that was meant as a compliment.
snakeguy76 lgx
That was actually informative
Lovitz is the funniest person to ever live.
wow.
Ya missed asking Jon about his toupee scene in Seinfeld with Jon winding up aiming his finger at George, saying "Good for you, JACK"
Here at 3:47 in:
=QgbxaS2KeUY
I just thought of Paul Giamatti is KPCS going to do him ...
10:31 NOT MAGOO!
Jon Lovitz is an interesting guy.
More views for Lovitz than Tom Hanks...makes sense
Jon looks remarkably like a heavyset Al Gore.
Thanks, hahhaaahahhaaaahahhaaahaahahaahahhaahahahahhaahahhahahaahahahahhaahahahahhaahahahahhahaahahhaahahha
1:12:28 ROCHESTER!
Can someone please tell me if they discuss the Kevin Smith/Ralph Garmin problems at his theatre? I have no time to watch it all at the moment (time stamp also please)
If you search for Rover and Jon Lovitz, they do discuss it there.
Thanks fella, have a great day
Hilarious tweet 5!
The bestttttt!!!!!
that beard tho. r.i.p.
Don't they mean Rocket Man???
Kevin Pollak rarely stops talking. Perhaps he should.
And he loved Barack Obama with all his heart.
_What indeed, the fυck?_
l Love lt.
rofl, holy namedropping Batman. Great stories though.
hell of a bruise Jon got on his forearm. birthmark? melanoma? hope he's alright.
High School High is funny
Okay Griff. We're going home!
Is Jon wearing a toupee?
"Acting"
Please improve sound it has echooo as if you were filming in a storage room.
Kevin "I'll say" Pollak.
Odious.
Who is watching this in 2020 and cringes every time Jon coughs?
It stinks it stinks it stinks
Lifeislike aHurricane Yes, Mr. Sherman, everything stinks.
