move on pesci
whatever i'm gonna get invited to the trailer not patchy yeah this was before
that okay so
we're gonna do the scene in the copacabana myself de niro and pesci and so cool
and um i didn't know
what to expect i don't know if you guys go through this prior to a new tv show
or a new movie that
you're gonna do it's like a first you mean farts part three what are you
talking about i do movies
yeah our resume is not yeah it's not like yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah you
guys have done movies
where you're you're popping in maybe yeah okay not maybe not not there the
whole movie like whack-a-mole
we're wet and we go away yeah yeah that's awesome we've been in there yeah go
ahead so i feel for me
it's like a uh uh like school and i'm an exchange student coming in in the
middle of the year and
everybody's friends are ready and i have to kind of make friends with the i
know the what i said you
can relate i relate to this yeah the situation because he literally had the
same thing happen to
him okay yeah that's what i feel when i come in on these like two three days or
whatever i'm doing
may interject i know it's your story no no but also it's like the highest level
of that yeah you
know i mean i mean these are like this is this isn't this is harvard this is
yeah i grew up watching
mean streets tax river you know i mean raging but i mean all of it this is like
you're a new student at
mit i can't imagine the pressure and the nervousness i just can't imagine it
but go on imagine at mit
they're building a rocket and you walk in the room and they all just turn and
then go right back to
work that's what in my mind is what it is i would feel you're like nothing yeah
they're like oh he's
here well i think this is the problem with us is we create this situation that
doesn't even exist yet
oh yeah fear false evidence appearing real yes so it's good i went in with the
expectation of
questioning myself do i belong here what am i doing i'm a comedian and now i'm
working with these two
guys so the rehearsal is just scorsese de niro and pesci and myself and we're
going over the scene and i
didn't know what to expect i didn't know if they were going to be you know in
their own world or but
they were very gracious hey how you doing the new ones come up to me and say
hey you're doing good
things you're doing good good things oh okay maybe he knows what i'm doing so i
felt kind of like okay
that's a nice positive thing i know and then uh i do the scene cut and they all
get together in a huddle
and i'm not in the huddle oh god i'm thinking this is it
i'm going home yeah they didn't like what they saw second guesses yeah but
again this is i i i'm
negative in any of my thoughts i'll give you a decision to me today i got an
email from a doctor
and i'm going to go over some blood work they said can we move the appointment
from 10 15 to 10 o'clock
i surmised that they need an extra 15 minutes to tell me i'm gonna die
right so that's where my head is constantly yeah so in this situation i thought
i was
i was done it was over and then uh obviously that was not the case i i you know
we we worked out the
scene over and over again and it turned out great and then you know scorsese
ended up in between shots
it was like it was like 50 minutes to set up the shot basically kind of sat
with myself and not even
the main cast just the other actors that were there telling us how he grew up
in new york laughing
telling jokes thanksgiving was around the corner instead of talking about his
you know thanksgiving
plans and at moments i'm sitting there going man this is a guy that you know to
your point
watched growing up watched all of his movies was kind of an icon in filmmaking
in fact that he came
from an italian-american background and now you know he's sitting there telling
me he's going where
he's going for thanksgiving i was uh i was it was a really nice moment so i
think the the point of the
story is sometimes we create something and we think that maybe we don't belong
but truly we do belong
and you just have to kind of believe in in yourself and in your abilities but
may i add we we still
don't belong i don't gonna stick with that yeah yeah with our side we're not in
we're on the outside
but yeah yeah but can i say this window watching there are times though well
like because you know
with the little work i've done i've still worked with ben kingsley i did a
scene with him i did see
with ed norton i've done a scene with uh the recent new movie coming out with kate
blanchett and jamie
lee curtis and everybody and you build it up in your mind i remember like the
first time i was doing
borderlands i was in hunt i was in hungary budapest and i remember i get a call
like yeah um
eli wants to meet you on set right i was shooting for a week he wants to meet
you right now i don't
know why they urgently drive me there and i walk onto set and they're all there
like hey kevin hart
jamie lee curtis everybody and then eli comes out he goes hey just i just want
to meet you man
dude thanks for doing it he gave me a hug everyone was super nice like hey we're
gonna have dinner
tonight you know what i mean and then in my mind i'm like oh they're just
regular people
but in our minds we build it up to this thing where it's like don't lock eyes
with them or you might go
you know what i mean you may be out you know and you hear some of these nightmarish
stories you know
you've heard it before but it's like that hasn't really been my experience i
just you know you too
right when you're with zach efron and john cena i mean those guys never talked
to me
not one word the whole filming yes they did you went to russell crowe's house
yeah we did yeah yeah
okay so are you on set the comic relief are people coming to you are you are
you mr like personality
with that movie was a comedy and so yeah and pete fairly and i were like you
know we i would stand
around him and just we would pitch each other jokes i mean that was like a i've
never done a serious
film in my life so i don't know i don't know what that would feel like to do
like a real for me it's
everything i've touched is like a goofball it's it's wacky so it doesn't there
is no pressure in that
regard but that's an interesting point because scorsese it's out of our it's
not in our world
right it's like you have you're you're playing with the greatest actors ever to
live you know what i mean
and i know you you're a comedy star comic i saw you the first time you ever
went up remember that
remember that one time you came over with that one line for that hbo show was i
had something with
a plane or something and we rehearsed it over it was living in that condo on
beachwood right and i'm
like you're gonna get this uh you didn't get it and i remember you kind of bummed
you didn't get it
right but my point is is that so this is the world you come from so i guess you
know in many ways it's a
little different what dealing with scorsese in that way i think the pressure is
a little bit more i
think don't you think because yeah his his pedigree is so you know yeah not to
say that these other
people we work like eli or fairly i mean they're legends in their own worlds
but scorsese he's the
top league of his own i mean like tarantino scorsese maybe i don't know oliver
stone i don't know
spielberg spielberg i mean there's like five or six of them that are like that
well you're not you're
i didn't mention your name i'm sorry john krasinski yeah if i think i think he's
coming up dude he'll
be right next to scorsese one day i think he's very talented shut up scorsese
john krasinski he's
got the talent oh my god yeah yeah this is bananas it's not bananas i don't
want to do this debate
again that's okay we're not doing yeah please yeah i just work with him i know
you did and he is
very talented i know i know i know i know but scorsese but listen here's the scorsese
here's another
story go ahead scorsese wants to see your wig i was wearing a wig in the in the
in the movie yeah
put the wig on and i'm waiting to go in this is the first meeting i'm ever
gonna have with this guy
i walk in sit down and he starts talking about movies from the 30s 40s this guy's
like a movie savant
right i haven't seen yeah yeah yeah so i'm trying to figure out how you how do
i hop out of this
and get into it's like someone talking to me about the beatles i just didn't
know the movies he was
talking about yeah so i go what could we connect on kids so i just had a kid at
the time so we started
talking about kids family and whatnot i walk out and the wig person goes what'd
he say about the wig
i go i think he thinks it's my hair there was no mention of the wig no nothing
yeah i just talked
about movies and kids and then and i walked out and you know apparently the wig
was was okay but um
yeah i i don't know how to uh navigate those types of conversations where i'm
in the i feel
like i'm at a disadvantage yeah yeah well i mean i mean when i did that movie
in hungry right the shoes
and what i said so i was i i show up to budapest i don't know anybody and my
agents were like no one's
gonna hang out with you you have a month there alone you're gonna be alone so i
show up to my
fucking um hotel room and work the four seasons in budapest and i there's a
letter on my uh on my bed
dear bobby you know i don't know you um but can you want to have lunch tomorrow
at noon
it was by jamie lee curtis a huge fan right so my god i couldn't sleep that
night
i was like what am i gonna say i gotta do something you know i think i re-watch
halloween or i don't
know what the right and i show up pleasant lunch then some of the other actors
show up and jimmy goes
i want to show you guys something that's very important here in budapest so we
walk over to the river
and along this river there's these bronze shoes that are kind of like cemented
into the
ground and it's you know she explains during nazi germany the germans came in
here
and they killed a lot of jews and they threw them over the end of the river so
one of the actors
cheyenne jackson goes oh no these are baby shoes right and like a moron i go it
could have been a
well this is this is reminiscent of travolta yeah right and then the whole
group walked away from it
yeah and i went and it didn't get a laugh and i went oh yeah you're not at the
store right you
know i mean so i have to literally let go this is bobby you know me in a movie
this is bobby amongst
comics and it's that kind of stuff that keeps you out of mitzi's office at the
end of the day that's
kind of an i think that's what it is that's really i think that's what it is
that kind of stuff so i
did read that wrong it's a bad joke it's a bad joke but also you were trying to
lighten them i was
trying to be funny give it some levity even if i was at the comedy store
it wouldn't have landed it wouldn't have landed no

of that yeah you
know i mean i mean these are like this is this isn't this is harvard this is
yeah i grew up watching
mean streets tax river you know i mean raging but i mean all of it this is like
you're a new student at
mit i can't imagine the pressure and the nervousness i just can't imagine it
but go on imagine at mit
they're building a rocket and you walk in the room and they all just turn and
then go right back to
work that's what in my mind is what it is i would feel you're like nothing yeah
they're like oh he's
here well i think this is the problem with us is we create this situation that
doesn't even exist yet
oh yeah fear false evidence appearing real yes so it's good i went in with the
expectation of
questioning myself do i belong here what am i doing i'm a comedian and now i'm
working with these two
guys so the rehearsal is just scorsese de niro and pesci and myself and we're
going over the scene and i
didn't know what to expect i didn't know if they were going to be you know in
their own world or but
they were very gracious hey how you doing the new ones come up to me and say
hey you're doing good
things you're doing good good things oh okay maybe he knows what i'm doing so i
felt kind of like okay
that's a nice positive thing i know and then uh i do the scene cut and they all
get together in a huddle
and i'm not in the huddle oh god i'm thinking this is it
i'm going home yeah they didn't like what they saw second guesses yeah but
again this is i i i'm
negative in any of my thoughts i'll give you a decision to me today i got an
email from a doctor
and i'm going to go over some blood work they said can we move the appointment
from 10 15 to 10 o'clock
i surmised that they need an extra 15 minutes to tell me i'm gonna die
right so that's where my head is constantly yeah so in this situation i thought
i was

may i add we we still
don't belong i don't gonna stick with that yeah yeah with our side we're not in
we're on the outside
but yeah yeah but can i say this window watching there are times though well
like because you know
with the little work i've done i've still worked with ben kingsley i did a
scene with him i did see
with ed norton i've done a scene with uh the recent new movie coming out with kate
blanchett and jamie
lee curtis and everybody and you build it up in your mind i remember like the
first time i was doing
borderlands i was in hunt i was in hungary budapest and i remember i get a call
like yeah um
eli wants to meet you on set right i was shooting for a week he wants to meet
you right now i don't
know why they urgently drive me there and i walk onto set and they're all there
like hey kevin hart
jamie lee curtis everybody and then eli comes out he goes hey just i just want
to meet you man
dude thanks for doing it he gave me a hug everyone was super nice like hey we're
gonna have dinner
tonight you know what i mean and then in my mind i'm like oh they're just
regular people
but in our minds we build it up to this thing where it's like don't lock eyes
with them or you might go
you know what i mean you may be out you know and you hear some of these nightmarish
stories you know
you've heard it before but it's like that hasn't really been my experience i
just you know you too
right when you're with zach efron and john cena i mean those guys never talked
to me
not one word the whole filming yes they did you went to russell crowe's house
yeah we did yeah yeah
okay so are you on set the comic relief are people coming to you are you are
you mr like personality
with that movie was a comedy and so yeah and pete fairly and i were like you
know we i would stand
around him and just we would pitch each other jokes i mean that was like a i've
never done a serious
film in my life so i don't know i don't know what that would feel like to do
like a real for me it's
everything i've touched is like a goofball it's it's wacky so it doesn't there
is no pressure in that
regard but that's an interesting point because scorsese it's out of our it's
not in our world
right it's like you have you're you're playing with the greatest actors ever to
live you know what i mean
and i know you you're a comedy star comic i saw you the first time you ever
went up remember that
remember that one time you came over with that one line for that hbo show was i
had something with
a plane or something and we rehearsed it over it was living in that condo on
beachwood right and i'm
like you're gonna get this uh you didn't get it and i remember you kind of bummed
you didn't get it
right but my point is is that so this is the world you come from so i guess you
know in many ways it's a
little different what dealing with scorsese in that way i think the pressure is
a little bit more i
think don't you think because yeah his his pedigree is so you know yeah not to
say that these other
people we work like eli or fairly i mean they're legends in their own worlds
but scorsese he's the
top league of his own i mean like tarantino scorsese maybe i don't know oliver
stone i don't know
spielberg spielberg i mean there's like five or six of them that are like that
well you're no
