00:00:17 Speaker 1: So I have COVIDH again, and this time I bit the bullet. And that's going to be an apt metaphor. When I talked about what I want to talk about and I took the packs, Loavid, and I want to play a little game show with you both, if that's all right, And the game show is going to be, what's the weirdest side effect from a medication you've ever had? Right or strong? Daniel fish will come on down? So on the packs, Loavid. A side effect that everybody has talked about, which I've now I'm in day three of is it's just constantly like I'm sucking on a giant battery. Was what I though, you're gonna say, a giant lemon? And I was like I would have been. It's this metallity acidity not which again I've been reading about. Apparently everyone has it on this stuff, and it's just it's never ending, it's all and it's very odd, and I'm just curious. Can either of you remember anything you've taken that's given you any bizarre side effects? No? I mean I feel like we have to tell the story of when I was on drugs the first time. It's one of my favorite memories from world altogether. It's just you leaning up against the locker in the in the school hallway, having absolutely no idea what was going on. And I was like, I had had a really bad ingrown tone nail because I have wide feet and I used to cram them into boots and choose that I shouldn't have been cramming my feet into and I let this ingrown toneenail get incredibly infected and it was awful and painful, but I just ignored it because the show must go on and on tape night or actually was probably a Wednesday. Well, we definitely had an audience because so I went and got this toe dealt with, you know, went to some surgery basically surgery like they cut you know, they actually cut your toe open, and they gave me pain medication, which I had never taken anything. I had never taken biking in or whatever. And yeah, I remember being in the classroom, sitting there and just completely missing my cue and going I just remember in front of the oh wait that's me, and the audience just lost it and we're and you guys were look what is wrong with you? I was just so dopey and I wonder if we're gonna be able to tell what episode it was because I have no recollection. But you remember me by the lockers to writer, you and I were standing next to each other. You were leaning against the lockers, and it was one of those times where like you were supposed to say something and you didn't say anything, and I was like, you were like, oh, that's me. And then in between you looked at me and you were like, I'm so out of it, like what's going on? And you were like I was like, oh man, I had never seen you like that because you were basically straight edge anything. I didn't drink or anything drink, so you were just like I was like, wow, this is this is interesting. Um I can't. Any time I think of medication stories, I think of the During the pilot of Girl Meets World, I got very sick. It was no surprise. I got very sick. And I did not know that um musin X was a one pill per twenty four hours. Did yeah, yeah, and that's the one I was taking. And I thought, I talk about a terrible assumption. I assumed it was like advil or something, or maybe I don't even know if adills this way but I assumed it was one every four hours, and I was very, very sick and we had to be shooting and it was, you know, one of those days. And so I woke up and I took one and it made me feel better. I was like, Wow, this is actually working. I feel great. And then four hours later I was like, coming, take another one, and I took another one. And I did that throughout the course of the day. And when I tell you, oh, it's like a speed thing. I was racing. You needed Michael Jacobs to tell you to slow down. It was like going back to being twelve years old and being told to someone was like what are you What are you taking? And I was like, music next, you know, music next. They were like, oh, yeah, one every twenty four hours. I was like, I'm that and I was thirsty. I was so thirsty. I was like my lips were sticking to my teethet he well, welcome to Pod Meets World. I'm Daniel Official, I'm right or Strong, and I'm Wilfred l So listen. We have had a lot of truly incredible guests during our season one, and we have had so many incredible guests and I and say we are so excited about our guest today. Well, half the time, that's a lie. Uh, just kidding, It's really never a lie. But this time I'm going to have to come up with a better word than exciting, because this is like way more than exciting. We've been bubbling about this and and talking about this guest, and I am just absolutely thrilled to have him. He's arguably the most successful actor that wasn't the voice of Kit from Night Writer to ever come out of Killed History, and from his standout role in Step Brothers to the cult classic Party down to my personal favorite Ben Wyatt on Parks and rec He is obviously an extremely prolific comedic and now a dramatic actor who was just nominated for his first Emmy celebrating his work on the brilliant show Severance. But today we are only interested in his role as Griffin Griff Hawkins on three episodes of Boy Meats World, So please help me. Welcome to the show, Adam Scott. Yeah, guys, Hello, I haven't seen you in a long time. You ever forever? Do you guys even remember me? Ye? Around? Course of course we did, of course, but you were you were definitely one of the older guys though, because you're you're like you know, I mean, you were like five years older than Will maybe or whatever. But the difference when you're seventeen and twenty three or whatever, it was huge. The golf was huge. So yeah, but I mean we definitely remember you for sure. Yeah. But he started, I mean we were even younger because he started in season two O two, so we were fourteen years old. Were writer? You were four teen and I think you may have been eighteen. Well that's the thing that that's so that I've been thinking about the past few days is like back then, like now, our age difference is not somewhat negligible, like like whatever world grown ups, middle aged grown ups. But then I was an adult and you guys were like little kids. Will you you were, you know, teenager or whatever. But yeah, it's like you were like younger than my kids now walking around. Um yah, and I was I think I was twenty was it nine four? Yeah? Yeah, I was twenty one and twenty two around there. You're an adult. So it's so I could vote, you could drink very and I could do not none of those. We were still going to studio school. Yeah, we were like nice to meet. We got to go get our three hours. And because that is the thing, is that my memories of you are all like seeing you in passing or at the rap party, like I have. I have a memory of of like everybody dancing together, and I have a great picture of us like in a conga line or something from a holiday party. And that's it, Like that's the only time I really got to hang out with you. I remember the one rap party I went to was at like a western bar, way out in Western You know what, we're not doing the congo, We're doing a Western dance. It was called Oh my god, I just remember the name of it. It was called Denim and Diamonds. It's the place we went to. It was called Denim and Diamonds. And I can't remember going up to say hi to Michael Jacobs, and I think this is the moment he decided I wouldn't be coming back, because I came up to say hi to him and he was wearing like West Like it was a Western bar and everyone's just in regular clothes, but he had like cowboy boots and like iron jeans, like he looked like he was ready to line dance. The ironed jeans were part of the regular uniform. Was ok, it was just the cowboy? Was he just scared out of me helve in to the club's that's pretty par for the course. I mean, I have so many questions going to the go. Let's start at the beginning, because I was just going to jump right into those kinds of stories. But I want to jump into You actually started on Boy Meats World as a totally different character. You were a guy named Senior and you asked Corey to hold your guitar. That's right? And so did you audition for that part? Did you have a connection to Michael Jacobs? How did you end up as Senior? No, I that's like one of I think that might be my truly my first job, certainly my first job on TV. I think. No, I think you had done two other things, but maybe your first TV job. Let Daniell tell you what you've done with your where you had done? You had done dead at twenty one and e R Okay, yes, um, yes, Debt twenty one was an MTV pilot. That was my first. But but but that was my first job ever, which must have been like six months before I got Senior on on borne Meed's World. Uh, and Senior was that in season two as well? That was like the beginning of and then Griff was the end of season two, correct, right, Yes, so so Senior. Yes, I auditioned for it because I was doing like background work and stuff and then got started getting like speaking roles and stuff and and and so this was I definitely auditioned for it and then came back an auditioned again later. For you did it wasn't like you were just upgraded. You had to actually, that's right, but you made the jump from background actor to actor. Yeah, I mean it only took thirty years. So were you you weren't technically a child actor or were you a child actor? No. I started when I was twenty because I went to acting school and it was like a two year program. So I graduated when it was twenty and then moved to Hollywood and just started like you know, trying to you know, trying to you know, I didn't know anyone. So I was doing background work and like I had a manager that I paid a fee to every month, but she got me auditions. So that's where I started getting my jobs, Like like Boyan's World is she that's how you know they're reputable. By the way, Adam, when when they charge, that's how you're in the right place. You know they're worth it. When they asked you forty dollars a month, which is what it was. It was forty a month. That's kind of a bargain. Okay, so you got the role of senior. I also want to know, do you remember seeing the band? So that was in the episode Band on the Run, and I we have not gotten to that part yet where we watched that episode. We've just started our rewatch of season two, but I have seen the images. It is the monkeys, Ricky Dolens was walking around, yes, but also the band. It's like where Alan shows like he used to have a band, and then the guys all come back and they play and there are four guitarists. People, you have to have four guitars, like not even like Leonard skinnerd had four guitars. They had too and it was and they thought it was too many. So yeah, Eastern has the image. Oh yeah, there we go. That's a very specific sound. So the guy on the roll of sound, I forget his name, but the guy on the right was the lead guitarist for Cheap Trip Trick, Yes, and then Alan and this was somebody to the guy on the left was somebody too, Yeah, and I can't remember who. I'll figure it out. I had it, I did have O'Neill and this he doesn't. But it was one of those things where it was like they came in and told us who it was, and everybody under the age of thirty five was like hunt and everyone under the age of thirty five was like, wow, really you got that guy. So it was um, yeah, I still don't know who who that is. But the Cheap Trick guy was very um not to ruin it before we get to the rewatch, but very inappropriate in front of the audience. That's remember really most about him saying things that were just was like, oh, they're nine in the audience. You probably shouldn't be saying stuff like that. Yeah, and you're not playing Buddha con right now. This is like a studio at seven thirty at night on a Thursday. Um. So yeah, Oh that's so funny that this was your first episode, Adam, was your first time doing a multi camera show like in front of a live audience. Totally. Not only that, but it was my first time being on a real set where it's like built on a stage, and so I remember, and when I came back later, it was the same thing where I just couldn't believe how like perfect everything was and the air was this perfect, like crisp cool temperature all the time, and there was food everywhere. Everyone was so nice, so and so I just you know, had no idea how I'm how I was supposed to behave or you know, it was a completely alien environment. I was just so nervous and freaked out the entire time, but at the same time thought, wow, this is really uh like high living, like this is all just feels composed and perfect. Um, yeah, it was. It was. I remember a lot of it really vividly because it was such a brand new, brand new environment. I have to know, what did you play on the er Oh, I played the same character as I played. I played Senior on the guitar, you know, hurt him he had to go to the e R. It was electric shock. I just played a guy who got into a car accident and got like wheeled around. I do remember it was a one or it was like a long like being wheeled all the way down the hallway by Noah Wiley and and uh mingna mingna when uh but they were wheeling me down the hallway and there was a camera on me, and it was like a three minute one of those shots. And I remember at one one point we did the whole shot and I had forgotten to to put the oxygen thing thing back in my nose and and they got super pissed at Man, that's like, you've burned so much film that day it was on you. So that's yeah, you went from pissing off the set of the Yard pissing off Michael Jacobs. Apparently you go there you go. Oh man, God, I can't even imagine. I can't even because those eight seven, eight nine years that we're talking about an age difference. When you when you're thirteen fourteen, twelve, thirteen fourteen, it must be so so much to carry, um all of that pressure, but also all of these grown ups around all the time, kind of telling you what you should do, how things are supposed to be, and kind of defining this world for you, and um, as you go along you might kind of start to see things differently. It just must be really confusing. I can only imagine yeah, it's Uh, it's one of those weird situations where now as adults, we realized that like, oh, no one has any idea what they're doing. Ever, no one ever knows what they're doing, right, We're all just faking it. We're all pretending like everybody else knew what they were doing, and we just were trying to keep up. And people, We've realized everyone thinks we knew everything that was going on and that we were being filled in on what was happening, and we knew nothing. No one was telling us a single thing. And so it was a instantly changing environment where we thought, well, thank goodness, these adults are in control and know what's going on, and we just have to go with the flow. And you also, as a kid, especially at fourteen year old, kid wants so desperately to be taken as an adult. I'm wanted, I'm up here, Please treat me like an adult. And you are in a work environment, so people do kind of treat you like adults, and and that feels good, and you pretend to act like an adult, and then when you are an adult and you look back on it, you go, what the hell were they doing? Why were they treating as like adults. We were an adults. It's very strange but so bizarre trapped in the middle. That's that's why. One of the things that was interesting, I remember when you came back as Griff. So when you came back later and um, Harley, the Harley Kinder character has gone. They brought Griff back, and then they put you with Ethan and Blake. Ethan and Blake to me, they were the cool kids in high school and kind of never let me forget that they were the cool kids in high school. Interesting, so they instantly put you in the camp of he's already I don't even know him, and he's already too cool for me to hang out with. That's so it was when you came you were instantly part of the gang. That kind of let me know that I wasn't invited to the party. So my god, I look back at it, like, um, yeah he was. He was too cool for me to even walk up to and be like, hey, welcome to the show. So it was more like, oh, and then you played such a cool character right that it was It was more just like I'm gonna go over there and play ping pong and you guys kind of do. But yeah, Blake and Ethan they were super nice, but they kind of just like they actually were really cool, right, Like they were hip like even like in real life, were like l A hipsters in a lot of ways, like Blake was already a musician and yeah, like I remember, yeah, they were like I uh friends with DiCaprio, and like, I just remember feeling very like, oh, they're like the cool l A people that like we're going to grow into, which never happened. But I was definitely intimidated by them in the exact same way. It is so funny because I know that when I kind of came in later uh as as Griff, they were the first ones to sort of walk up and talk to me. And they were like fellow guest stars, so I felt more comfortable like talking to them because it was like lower stakes. And I do remember being way too nervous to go up to you guys and talk to you. And I know I know that will and and and I mean Ethan and and Blake felt the same. I know that they were also like more kind of nervous and watching themselves around you guys. I know that I just because we were the regulars. We were the show. I mean, that's the thing. But from our perspective, it was like completely inverted because your kids looking at more adults, so it's just they're the cool people, and that the adults are looking at the kids like you're the stars of the show. And the one thing this pot doing this podcast this showed me is it's just like if we had all just had conversations back in the day, I know it would have been so much better. But I also remember, Adam, I remember you coming in and just being super funny and super confident. It was part of it was part of your character obviously to be this sort of like cool guy, like ladies man, whatever, but you actually had that air about yourself to like that, Like the fact that you were nervous is just mind blowing to me because like what I remember, because it was it was a bizarre situation because you were sort of replacing Harley Danny Dicnolti had left the show, and we're gonna have him on the show and we're gonna talk about what what he was going through and why he left the show. But it was actually somewhat traumatic for us as kids, Like he had a he had a bad table read that did not go well, and we replaced him midweek. Um, it's a crazy And then and then so they replaced him midweek with another actor playing like Harley. The name him Harley, or they just renamed brought him in. I don't think it was one of those weird They just oh, we have to we have to do the script as it's written, so we'll just get a new actor in here. And it was a very uncomfortable week. And then a couple of weeks later, I guess they had already written scripts with Harley and decided to rewrite them by creating a new character, which was Griffin. And you came in and you were just and so it was as it was all. I didn't know any of that. I knew that there was a character before me named Harley who was um because they mentioned him in my episode where it's like we're gonna be your lack. He's just like we were for Harley. That's the extent of what I knew. I just figured, like this person didn't want to do the show. I I had no clue. I had no idea of any of this. It's a crazy story that Danny that we can't tell it's Danny story. And I know he's gonna tell it when he gets here. But um, because then you did an episode with Danny that's right where we like face off. Yes, I remember, that's where the con That's where I saw the confidence, because again, Danny was in my head forty two years old. It was the cool, amazing guy. And then you instantly walk onto the set and the scene was getting into his face and he's like's gonna kick your ass and you you'd already thought ten steps ahead. You're like, all right, I got I can't believe these lines are coming back to me. You're I do because you say, you're like, all right, well, I know you thought it all the way through. Then you're gonna beat me up. You're gonna end up in jail. And but and then you see his mind start to work, and I remember watching the scene going like, oh, he's so confident, Like you just walked on and you owned it all and we're still fun. We're like eight episodes in now and still fumbling our face. Homember. It was by this point, I mean that one was season three, right, yea, that was the one episode you did in season three, And then we never saw great and so I want to ask you about that. Did you what was the situation with why you disappeared and then never came back. What did they tell you? I don't, I don't know. I don't think they ever told me anything. And I just as like a h an kind of self hating actor, like I just figured, oh, they finally figured out that I can't do this and just never asked any questions, like I don't blame them, like this is the way it should be. And I kind of felt like that episode was Harley and Griff facing off and him sort of uh dominating and me sort of fading into the background, right because didn't he continue on and do do don't? By the way, you don't you don't have to say self hating, you can just say actor. The other and the other part is completely it's completely in there, which never goes away. By the way that it doesn't matter no matter how many nominations, even if even if one of us gets to half of your status at some point, that never goes away. It doesn't. Yesterday we were shooting and I was the same exact feeling was there. I was like, what what what am I doing? Why? Am I? Why am I here? You know? Well, the one thing Daniel did not mention at the top, which I'm not going to gush about, but I thought was one of your more underrated performances because I loved the film all the way around was Secret Life of Walter Middy. Oh thanks. The whole thing was just that I loved that film. I loved you and that felt. Yeah. I can, I'm sorry, I can gush all day. I'm trying to be cool like I was when I was eighteen and I first met you. Um No, I love that movie too. I I obviously Ben still directed that and he directs a lot of Severance as well, and and watching him, uh direct Walter Middy and also star in it, and just like how he built that world and everything was just sort of one of those life changing just sort of shifted my idea of um of of making stuff and what's a bowl and what you can? I mean, it's beautiful, it was really beautiful. That's incredible. Is that what led to Severance? Is that it was the connection with Stiller from MIDI what brought you into Severance? Or yeah, I just met him once at um at a premiere. Uh. I forget what movie it was. It was like one of the like Apatao World premiers. I wish I could remember which one it was, but I just met him and he came up and talked to me. I couldn't believe I was talking to Ben Stiller and he was he liked step Brothers and so he was like talking about and then like a year or two later, he just asked me to to be in uh In Walter Middy and and so that's sort of where where yeah, where that connection started. And so I'm sorry, just to go back very quickly. You had to audition twice for Boy Me Tworld. That's right, were an asked, that's right, just making sure I have the crinology correct as we moved forward. That's perfect. That makes perfect sense. Okay, So I have to talk to you about this one particular episode that you were in in season two. You are in an episode called Thriller and Phila where you set up a wrestling match between Corey and Joey, and that involves cameos from Vader, Robert Goulay, Jasmine Belief not according to her, she's playing herself, and you made out with her. Yeah, this was one of the things where one of the situations where I was like, wait, what what do I do? I hope we all were that episode. That episode was so insane. That was nuts. And writer, didn't you like get in the ring and wrestled like that? Dude? I thought, I thought, Vader, that's what I thought, Vade Vader where he's lifting me up by the neck and throwing me off the thing, and god, God, But the joy of that to me is apparently I'm glad you remember Yasmine Bleith was there too, because in the fact of actually taping it and it being on television, she apparently denies being on the show. What what we've heard is that she's like, I was never on And you want to say to her, like, the cameras were there, there's footage. I have the receipts on YouTube exactly. You can you can google it. Yeah, but they're they're all in the same scene, all those crazy guest stars are in the same scene. And so what I remember about that day was that we shot it all in like an hour and a half, Like it was. Robert was here from three pm to four pm, and it was just like and I remember sitting around craft Service and it was just a circus, like literally a circus, and he's like, you're just waiting for the elephants and the lions to like go by, and then we're all just like get in the ring, do the scene. And you can feel that energy when you watch it, because well, we watched it for the DVD commentary. It's one of the few episodes I remember watching, so we watched it with Michael Jacobs on the DVD commentary. We cut it out from the DVD because we watched that episode and did commentary for it, and at the end of it, Michael was like, can we gonna we need a better episode. We're not gonna do that commentary because while we were watching it, we're all like, what what has happened? Like we could see Michael just n rallies like we need a different episode. It's not on the commentary he fired. He fired his own commentary, Why do you remember about that day? And like working with Yasmine and what was that too? Because I'm assuming she was just there for that one day, so there was really like no rehearsal, No, no, she was there for I don't remember. I'm sure she was not. I just don't we must have had like a stand in come in when we were rehearsing her right as yea, But I just remember her being there for like fifteen minutes or something. Seemed like she was in and out. Had do have you ever need had you ever needed to kiss anybody on camera? Was that your first on camera kiss? Oh? You heard it here first. I've never actually thought of that before. My first on Screaming Kids was with Yasmine Leaf. It was it was a huge deal. And you know what, this was an early lesson in show business for me because I think since it was so early on, I always figured if you're doing something crazy like that with all of these big famous people and you're in the middle of a ring like announcing something and on on TV. I remember that that episode airing and me being like, I'm on TV with with Yasmine Bleef and Robert It was this this huge thing at the time, this was such a huge deal. But still I'm in a studio apartment and I can't get my agent to like and yeah, exactly, like, oh, doesn't really matter that much. Well, you still owe your manager for that straight together fourty dollars to pay my manager. Um, it's you know will before I forget, I do I remember? Just so you know, I was how like nervous we were to talk to you guys. I remember distinctly talking to you about Spider Man. Um uh once. Do you remember this? I'm sorry, I don't. Yeah, talk to so many nerd I have so many nerd conversations. I'm surprised I didn't bond. But like in like I just or five. I can't believe I remember a conversation about Spider Man with you because I think at the time it was rumored that James Cameron was going to make a Spider Man movie or something and and uh and and so I remember really distinctly. I think I'm assuming because it was a big moment to get to like have an actual conversation with with one of the stars of the show. So anyway, just so you know how we talked about. Do you remember what we talked about? I think we were talking about how you were perfect to play Spider Man. Was that I don't know. It wasn't like like you're feeling like it should happen for you were just like, oh my god, can you imagine how amazing that would be? And feel like I'm perfect for Peter part you know stuff. I was letting my nerd flags fly out anyone that would listen, and you were perfect for it. In that same vein I have heard I've read you have told this story before, but I would like for you to. I would like to hear you tell it here, because it's when I read it the first time. I was like, what, can you please tell us the story about the message board you stumbled on after you had after you were off of boy Meat's World. I don't know about this. This was I think this was. It must have been after I was on boy Meats World. Um, first of all, I have to talk about two different, h awkward interactions that I had on on This all kind of goes to show just how little I knew about how you're supposed to behave and basic human interaction. I felt there were the laws of gravity were completely flipped when you're in this perfect air conditioned world. I just had no idea how to behave. So I remember, you know, Blake and Ethan had kind of taken me under their wing early on, and and uh, we're kind of they were, like you said, they were like the cool guys. And so I remember one day I got to work and I told Blake and Ethan super dirty joke. I don't remember what it was. And I didn't really know many people yet, and they were like, oh my god, that's hilarious. They were laughing. They're like, you know who would love this joke is Tony Quinn. He would think it's just hilarious. You have to tell him right now. And I was like, okay, cool friend, Oh they set you up. Yeah, And so I went over to Tony was the sweetest guy, and but I didn't know him, and I told him this. I don't even remember what it was. I just remember it was like Tony very Christian, very conservative, that's right, very clean cut guy, unbeknownst to me, and I just remember hitting like the punch line. I remember we were standing the the bleachers for the audience were behind him, the empty bleachers, because we were like in the middle of a day, and I remember him just being stone faced looking at me after the joke and just being like, well, it sounds like those people need a lot of help. Like whatever, the joke was right, and then they walked away and I was like, huh and E were like, just that was great. God, that is a classic that describes their dynamic to a t. That is, I do I just see you standing in front of Tony hitting the joke going like and they called themselves the aristocrats. That's kind of a great prank. Who do you think about it? Pretty funny? Yeah, so that was one. The other one is something that has been bothering me for twenty was it twenty six years now? Jesus Christ? Right? Yeah, okay, this is And I don't think I've ever told anyone about this except recently since I've known I'm coming on the show. I told uh, my friend Zach about and I told my family about it. Like I get to finally ask writer about this thing. I don't know if you remember this, writer, probably not. Okay, it was the I am on the edge of my yeah, yeah, literally, this has been tugging at me for twenty nine years. According to Daniel Um it was the season finale of season two. As it turns out, one of my episodes was the finale, so we're kind of off to the side. I don't remember what There was a scene going on, which was the last scene that that would be shot for the for the season. We were off to the side watching. I was with Blake and Ethan. Writer, you were there with a different group of people, but we're all sort of standing around. Everyone's kind of gathering around knowing that the last scene was about to was about to finished, and the scene ends. Again, I'm just like, okay, I have no sense of accomplishment here. I'm not really a part of this, but I can tell something's about to happen. The scene ends, everyone just erupts and starts cheering. End of the season. Blake and Ethan high five and hug. They come up to me, high five and just cheering. And again I'm like, okay, sure, let's this is great. Sure um. And then Blake and Ethan go up to you writer and they give you high five and hug you. And and then after they do that, I'm like, hey, congratulations, buddy, and I give you a high five, and I and I go in and hug you, and as I do that, you push me off and you give me this look like wait a second, who the are you? And then you run away? Are you serious? Yes? Why would I do that? Do you do? You not? Do not at all? So glad you don't remember that because to some extent that means it wasn't a traumatic experience. But I remember just being like, no, I'm sorry, what just happened? What did no? No? No, my god, okay no. And it actually doesn't sound like me at all because I was generally hugger. He's such a hugger, but he was a little kid and I was the stranger, grown up getting I again had no idea what I was supposed to say. It like we were supposed to all be joyous and hug each other. Oh god, it was horrifying. No, no recollection. And like I said, that totally doesn't sound like me at all. Something something going on there, honestly, because writer is such a hugger and a total stranger. It was the end of season two. We obviously worked with you for at least four episodes, and because you include Sword of Yeah, okay, okay, so that's such again, my god nine uh yes. And I remember being surprised when I got the call to come be in UH three a few months later because because because of that, um, it's so it's so funny you read on the message, Okay, So then I read uh some message board because this was like early days of internet. Obviously it was like right, So I there was some message, but I do not a o l probably and I remember going on there and just being so thirsty for any recognition or anyone even uh knowing that I that I was on on television and I think I read somewhere they said someone said, well I heard that to Panga doesn't like Griff. What is that? What the story? I think what you heard was that I told someone that no one likes you. This is someone that someone wrote on a message board. Well, I know someone Danielle like goes to school with. I know someone who knows Danielle, and she says that nobody likes him. That's what I can guarantee you is not true. Because there's there's two ways for one thing, that just wasn't true. Nobody didn't like you. That was just not That was not the situation. The second reason is because I didn't talk about boy Meets World at school Boy Meat's World. I mean, if somebody asked me a question, I would, But like, it wasn't super cool to be gone from school all the time, and I was at a new school. I would have been in like seventh grade at that time, and so I wasn't at school being like, well, we've got this new guy, Adam Scott. Nobody really likes him, so I'm not sure what his future looks like. Is we move into season two of Boy Meets World, Like, I'm not having those conversations as a thirteen fourteen year old in junior high. That's not happening. Well, yeah, I also have to say that reading that, I was just like but also at the same time I was there was a little bit of a thrill to it because I was being talked about on the internet in reference to the show. I was telling everyone, God, we didn't like you. But that was just me that I didn't write it anywhere that would have been rude, but I was telling everyone I could. I still am just picturing Rider shoving, you know. I wonder what was going on. Maybe you could also have been kind of built up and over dramatized over these last you know, twitter nine years. Who knows, but I can see it. I remember it so badly. It's just so crazy. It's a great story. God, that's so funny. How long has it been since you've seen one of your Boy Meats World episodes? Would you like to watch one right now? Yeah? You know, I I've seen clips and stuff on like on Twitter sometime. Um, I think I've seen some. I think my daughter found like a compilation She's Sport Team now, like when she was like twelve, she was like, what's this and played it and then started watching the show and getting into the show and got into Girl Meets World as well. Uh So in the past few years, I've seen like clips and stuff, but to sit down and watch an entire episode, it's spent a long time. You got to do some really great scenes where you played like, for lack of a better word, a total jerk to like Mr Feenie. Do you remember what are your experiences working with Bill Daniels, What do you remember about him? Incredible? I He's the graduate, Red's the guy has been in so many incredible movies, such a great actor. And he was so kind to me because I was, like I said, I was really nervous. And there was like that scene where I'm in his office and I like, uh, flirt with his with his his assistant who comes in. And I think that might be the first Griff episode where that was because I think it was one of my first scenes generally, and I was really nervous and and and as we were doing it, um we would do a take and all the producers and writers would like flock in around me and start giving me notes, changing lines, all this stuff. And so I immediately, just as I do today, if that happens, it's like, oh what am I doing wrong? Okay? And but then I couldn't really handle it, and so I started trying to um play these notes that they were giving me, and it was like all over the place. And I just remember after a few times of that habit kept, they kept kind of coming in and tweaking what I was doing. Bill just leaned into me, just whispered, He's like, don't listen to any of them. Just do something like something like that. Like he used a curse word, which was super cool, so cool, and he was just like, forget what, forget it all, forget what they're telling you. That's so great. And he would just give you those little nuggets of Oh yeah, I'd assume he did that for you guys too. He didn't. Absolutely. Now I have a question for you, because you're you were so nice back then, by all accounts, you're so nice. Now, why do you think you're always cast as kind of the dick. I wanted to every movie kind of play this guy, which you know, I don't know you well, but seems to be just essentially. I mean, you are universally beloved. Everyone says you're the nicest guy ever. So why like, why do you think you're constantly cast as kind of the jerk all the time. Uh, that's that's funny. I think that. Um. I think it started uh um with step brothers and uh that was just a total fluke. Um. I didn't think I had any chance of getting the part, so I just sort of went in and for it. I think that like douche bags and are really funny, like over confident don't are really really funny, and I love watching them, like in real life. I love seeing someone who's who thinks they're amazing and they're I think it's really fun. Um. So I don't know. I guess you know, like I remember as a kid loving William Atherton and I have ghostbusters like wow, he's great, Like who's that guy? Uh? So I don't know. I always just a how's it going? Keep quoting all that time. My whole life is quote, so I always do the I lathered up with Keels in the shower by the way, by the way well, or those VHS tapes behind you, or those books. No, those are books. Okay, those are books. That's the fan of that's the one half of the Nerd Fantasy collection. On that scene, I wish they were VHS. I have VHS's as a writer, and Danielle know I keep everything, so yeah, I've got all that stuff. What was it on one episode you guys said that they would give you vhs is at the end of the season for the families with out hundreds of dollars from three and we got six or maybe it was even seven VHS tapes that held four episodes per tape. That's crazy and we paid for them and uh yeah, we again the same that when the show ended, called me two weeks later to ask where a black pair of socks was. Oh my god, yeah that's what we got. Jesus. You touched on it a little bit talking about writers descending on you probably during a tape night to change things, and you know, do you remember the notes sessions? Do you remember? God? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. And I hadn't remembered that till hearing you guys talk about it, and then I was like, oh my god, of course, like after a scene, correct me if I'm wrong. This is what I remember after like a scene or after a run through of an ever run I guess it would be we would all go and find a seat and Michael and the writers would give notes publicly in front of everyone, scene by scene by Oh my god, yeah, yeah, we would. We'd sit in the living room set, so we'd all find our places on the couch or like little side steps or wherever we could squat and sit. And then he would sit in a chair facing us solo, with the writers behind him, like it was like creating an audience behind him. And then he would sit alone in a in a director's chair in the center and go page by page and shin us and shred us. You just tell us what we were doing wrong? Yeah, every every week, twice a week, that normal, Adam, Have you not had that on other projects? It seems like they didn't do that on there, you know, you know, you see that here and there. But you come to realize, like I'm sure you guys have, particularly with kids, that's not how you're going to, like, you know, get the best out of them, right, I'm sure it was terrifying for you guys. It was horrifying. It was there was a sense like when when writer just described it, and I had a visceral memory of the feeling of all of us being huddled together on the couch and wherever you could, and they're really being a sense of we're all in this together, Like yeah, where for guest casts that would be not the feeling. Often, like I remember watching guest casts fall apart because invariably we you know, there would be a run through. We'd all get a pass because it went well for us, but because somebody came in and you know, did their best, but it didn't land where Michael wanted it that person. You know, I remember having to have conversations post notes with guest cast all the time, like having to be like, it's okay, this is totally normal, it's not don't take it personally, do it up, because they would just be like, what did I do? What? You know? How did I You know? It was so I can imagine from your position, Adam, like it's even more intimidating than it was for us, you know, like, yeah, and you're sitting You're not sitting on the couch on the on the living room set, you're like on the outskirts, like, yeah, exactly, No, there was there was a sense of we're all in this together, much like the passengers of the Titanic, right, Um, so it was I mean we did we had that. Those were and I think you're right, we got used to them, and then you get jaded. You know, you're now at twenty or twenty one. By the time I was the show was ending, it was like, I'm old hat at this, and then you start to forget that there's guest cast there that are going through this horrible nous. You know, I think it's more than than it's old had it's Stockholm syndrome. We act actually start to be like this looking forward to it, like looking forward to note session where we wouldn't get notes and being like, it's an accomplishment. I made it through this week. Yeah not yes. That became That became the addictions, Like, you know, he did something great. I was going to ask did he throw complement? Occasionally he would praise it would be and when he did, it was like, oh my god, can you believe what I just heard. That's the coolest thing in the world. Yeah, it was a little it was a little more. I do remember for the first time experiencing that multicam rhythm that you have to get and how and not knowing the language of it at all, and not knowing how to hit those things. But that's where I sort of started to learn that the music of how to get a laugh in a multicam, it's a real skill and a real like talent of its own, where you say a line a certain way and the audience just doesn't react act then you just hit a particular word and boom, they're there. That was terrifying to me too and kind of put me off from multi not that I would had any opportunity to be in multicamps even if I wanted to, but it made me frightened of them for for years. Was the kind of high wire act of trying to and knowing that, uh, they're all watching and they'll take your line away if you don't hit it right and stuff. That's something that you guys lived for years and years. But I kind of felt a little bit being there. I am I love that. I love that. That was my That was my favorite part was reading the audience, like reading the acause you know. It's the way you just said it is is so true. I always equate especially Sitcomb to music and when you hit that perfect beat and that tuning fork rings, it is it is like the dopamine in your brain. It really is. It really is. I know it more from theater than from from from multi camps because I think the only multi camp I've ever done is Boy Meets World? Is it really You've never you never did even an episode of anything else. I did an episode of a show called The Closer Tom Selleck Show, but the scene was was cut out and it was just like one scene. So Boy Meets World was was it? Um? But but you're right that when you have the audience um with you, it really is a rush kind of like well we've talked about on this show, like you know, when the audience does, they're like oh's and oz and the last It's almost like you're in a conversation with them, right, It's like they're a scene partner. And that's so much part of multi camp is this like you're riding this wave and then enticing them and then going you know, it's like this it's like a call and response almost, It's it's weird, and it definitely is. It's a musicality. It's almost like a jazz performance or something. It's a very bizarre it's a very bizarre form, you know. And I think I think that's why it's kind of aged poorly, is that, you know, kids don't grow up with it anymore, so they don't necessary their brain doesn't automatically go into it the way that like I think we've you know, at the seventies and eighties, children like it was so natural to us it made sense. Now it feels kind of archaic, right. I think that there's like an oddity to the form, which is odd. It's weird form. It is weird. It's it's all kind of rooted in uh in vaudeville and all of the you know, that's where it that's you know, like you watch like I remember growing up in my grandma would watch Lawrence Welk Do you guys yea and kind of growing up with that and looking back on those variety shows, those were all from just a time before television kind of leaking into television, and multicams are part of that. I really miss seeing great multicams. I think they're really fun and when done correctly. There's it's it's really great and as a job it's kind of perfect because it's the best schedule for an actor is amazing. But also the sort of um, the sort of old fashioned nature of rehearsing all week for the big show on and there's that energy with it, and you do you go back and you watch those Norman Lear kind of shows, the all in the families things like that, it's a play. It's a play every week that just gets beamed into people's homes and man, that needs to come back. It totally tricked me too into thinking that acting was easy. Uh, the certain parts of acting were easy, Like I remember doing single camera for the first time, like when I did an episode of The Practice and being like, I have to be there at five am. What are you talking about? Like you know, I was used to like you just get your script. You'd barely have to memorize it because then you just show up at ten and you walk in. You all get to rehearse. And but no, like single camera or you know, it's the life of an actor is pretty rough. You have your trailer, you barely get to talk to people before you shoot, and it's like you know, it's a it's a very different animal. And I remember, you know, hitting that wall in my twenties and being like, do I even want to do this because you know, I had just been completely convinced that my camera was acting, and it's like, no, no no, no, it's a very specific form of acting that's you know, rare. Yeah, it definitely is. It definitely is acting. The skill to it that I was never able to to sort of pinpoint for myself the skill of it that you guys were able to do it a really young age. Which is even more impressive is having that intention and the emotion and all of that in the kind of in the the the multi camps. Getting to inject all of that into that form is really hard to cut yourself some slack. You were only given three episodes. We are watching ourselves over the course of many episodes going still haven't found it. I haven't found it yet. It's a very bizarre form. Is it ever something that you'd want to come back and do again? Or is it like no, I don't and I'm done with that. No, I I think it would be really fun. I was going to say I rewatched the first three or four seasons of Cheers, So it's it really is perfect because I read that Jim Burrow's biography, the autobiography they put out, which is really fun, and went back and rewatched Cheers and a Bunch of Friends as well, and it really is nothing better and more entertaining uh as as an audience member than watching those great, great shows. And how fun it looked and Cheers particularly, I mean it's essentially one room, the amount hundreds of stories going in and out of there. It's just a play and have so much fun. And the acting Ted Dance and Shelley Long on that Like as far as TV acting goes, or acting in general, it's it really doesn't get better than that. That's pretty close to the perfect television pilot for me, ever been done before. And it has the best joke, in my opinion, in the history of which is they're sitting there and the phone rings and Coach picks it up and goes, Ernie cheers, hang on, Ernie pantuso, that's you Coach speaking. It's just it's so fast, and it's just him, and it's perfect and and it's it's it's a perfect joke. But also it's the pilot, so they're trying to establish these characters in a hurry, and they got that guy in one line exactly who the sweet old guy is for. You know, as long as you say, it's also so difficult, as we found to bring this back to Boyman's world, and you did this seamlessly as well. It's difficult to lose characters and then have to bring in new characters. And that's something that Cheers did as well. Shelley Long takes off. They bring in Christiality, who just passed Um Coach passed away in real life. They bring in Woody. These are these are people, this is these are characters that shouldn't work. You've you've got you've established a cast, you've established a show, you've established a rhythm. You can't bring in you can't get rid of Frank Burns and bring in Winchester and still have it work on match. That's impossible. We can't lose Harley and bring in somebody named Griffin. It's still gonna work. And it's like, wait, it works. The acting is there and the writing is there, then the audience will buy it because it works. And that's why they easily that the reason that the initial actor did not work when they just tried to have a different Harley is because Harley was already established. You can't just bring in someone else, throw the leather jacket on him and go, now you're that character. But they bring in Griff and it's like, we're gonna make him cool, but an entirely different way. It's a different it's a confident cool. It's uh, i'm are, I'm you know, it's the Fonzie kind of cool instead of like the kind of cool, tough guy kind of cool. So I also think it's interesting, just going back to what you said of I wonder how it would have affected your performance knowing if you knew the story behind kind of Danny leaving and there was a backstory there, and probably not knowing it made it easier to just come in and I'm just going to do the character. Oh I'm sure. I'm sure. If I knew there was this kind of beloved guy that had had this rough sort of exit and everyone felt uneasy about it, it would have made it ten times harder. Thankfully I didn't know. I do remember my first costume fitting, and again it's like the first real costume fitting i'd had. I remember it was. I was standing there trying on outfits for Michael and like four other producers, and I kept coming in with different outfits and they just it was like a flash dance when she's flipboards. And I remember one person I don't remember her name. I remember she looked at me and just said, I don't know, it's sort of Johnny Depp four years ago. And just thinking that was like such a show biz thing to say, like, Wow, they really say stuff like that in show business. So exciting, My god, oh my gosh. So you got your first Emmy nomination this year for your role as Mark on Several Congratulations, I mean congratulations And what what is doing severance like? And is it better than kissing yasmine bleef? Well, nothing is better than kissing Um. Yeah, it's really it's it's it's a it's a it's a great, uh, really fun show to put together, really challenging. We're in the middle of shooting right now. Um and I just I love it. I love uh the world. You know. Something that's that's really fun coming back to the show is when season one it was all about sort of world building and and finding the tone of of of of the loom and and everything we're doing and not knowing uh what it was gonna look or feel like. Um, And now having set that tone and coming back to it, um, not having to worry about that part of it, um, and just getting to dive right in is is really fun. It's like you all have the same TV show in your head. That's right, that's right, yeah yeah um uh. And the group of actors is unbelievable obviously. Uh. And and getting to see them every day and work with them, it's just so much fun. Is there one you prefer over the other? I mean, like, you know, doing a film, it's kind of your with people for a finite amount of time and you get to do something great and walk away. But with television you get to kind of build the camaraderie as a cast, you get to really grow as a character. Is there one that you prefer over the other? I really like uh making TV shows. I mean they're sort of one and the same now more and more. But the thing about making a TV show for me that I like growing up in the eighties and being a eighties movie goer, that's kind of where I sort of learned and what I like. Um, I loved sequels growing up in the eighties, and like, Temple of Doom is my favorite movie, right, and I remember like Police Academy to going to see it on my birthday with all my friends and stuff. So coming back for another season of the show to me just feels like we're making a sequel. Um. And so there's like this really kind of fun like getting every getting the band back together feeling, and I just love um getting getting to see everybody again and catch up with each other's catching up with each other's lives and uh and finding new angles on on the you know, the story, the big story and the characters and everything. It's really really fun. That's cool. You know what with all the unpacking and everything we've talked about in the episode, the thing we're going to get the most emails about Temple of Doom is his favorite. You know. Here's the thing. So my son, whose name is Indie, Yeah, Temple of Doom is his favorite. Yeah. I'm like, you know, and it's the one he wants to watch. He wants to go back to it more than and I'm like, this is the crazy one. But then I remember as a kid it was my favorite too. It's and when you watch it, you're like, there's like five movies before the movie even starts. It's like there's a musical number, there's there's plain flight, there's a rafting number. It's like, oh my god, and you're like, there's like five five sequences before the story even so it's amazing. It's but it's totally it's just all over the place. Yeah, yeah, but ah my god, it's the best. It was like, oh my god, what is happening. They've made a movie specifically for me? And I just went back over and over and over again. And the other night we were at the Gotham Awards in New York and I learned afterwards that that key Hugh Kwon, who played Short Round, was sitting in the in the table near us to night. I didn't know. I would have gone and said hello, because he you know, Short Round toys every thing to me as a kid. It's really nice. He's we did, he's at some of the conventions we do, and he's a very sweet and everything everywhere all at once, and it was incredible. It's one of the most astounding performances. You're like, we're this person should have been working every day for the last thirty years, and he's so you just can't take your eyes off from the entire movie. He's so good, he's amazing. Well marks the return of Party Down. So what can you reveal to fans for what they can expect from the gang? Yeah, it comes out somewhat soon. Uh, yeah, it's it's It was really fun because it was like thirteen years later and we're all uh together again. I mean, I think by now it's almost like a almost a cliche because there's so many reboots and stuff, but it really is strange getting everyone back together and it just kind of feeling the same, which is it was just a blast. And uh, you know, I think everyone I love it. It's it's very much Party Down. It's very much the same show, which is what what we're hoping for, and uh, and it was it was a blast. I hope we get to do more at some point. Well, I have to ask you, would you like this to be the very last time you're asked about Boy Meets World. I feel like you've had such an illustrious career and yet you're always the face of that clickbait article you won't believe who guessed it is true. There's a clear picture. Oh it's always him. You won't believe the stars that we're on boy Meat's World and it's Adam's face. A lot of people carry Russell to world. She was my jasmine belief Adam. That's right, that's right, Yeah, that's right. Um and uh, there were a lot of people, I think Linda Carlin, yeah, yeah, yeah, we had a great we had we had great guest guests. Yeah. No. I I love being asked about it. I think it's a it's a grim really proud to be on the show, and it meants, you know, it's a huge Obviously, I remember everything and that was a huge learning experience and so so valuable. And watching my daughter watch it when she was a bit younger is I think it's a great show. I love being asked about it, and and I've loved listening to you guys talk about it and remember it and kind of deal with being grown ups looking back. And it's been fascinating listening to you.

Wow, what a dick that guy I met you writer to leave that story. That's so bizarre, so not well, it's not it's so not me. But I have no idea there must have. I mean, either he's just you know, he was just in an insecure moment and like I gave him a look. I might have been joking, but that doesn't really sound like me, Like, I don't know what happened, Like you're a hugger exactly, And I feel like in a situation like that, I would have just been running around hugging everybody, because that's just what I did. Um, So it must have been like a weird misinterpretation of something like maybe I heard something, maybe somebody called to me away and I ran off. And he just was like in this weird moment of like, oh okay, yeah that sucks, it's so funny. Yeah, like I said, I had read that. I had read that article once that was like somebody asked him about boy Meat's world, and I was all excited to see what he had to say, and he was like, well, yeah it was. I felt really uncomfortable there. I don't think anybody liked me. Why why did you Why did you feel that way? And he was like, well, I read once on a message board that Danielle told somebody that that nobody liked him, and I was like, it's not true. I wanted to correct it so badly, man. And this is the thing about actors, right, It's like this this incredible confidence, right, this ability to be in your control of your body and your voice and to be able to present confidence and then just this crippling insecurity. Right, It's like it's and you you always carry both with you because you know, and I heard it explained once that it's because actors had to make a leap. At one point they were watching a TV show or watching a movie or watching a play and they looked at somebody up there and said I could do that, and they had to make that leap, right, And that's a leap of faith, Like you don't you don't actually know every A lot of people try that and they don't get jobs or you know, they want to be that person and they can't actually do Like you just can't act or you can't you don't have the thing whatever it is, And so all of us have to have made that leap, are constantly wondering is everybody fooling me? Or is this actually at this? You never and it's so amazing that never goes away. It just never goes away, because then it's the next role. Like even if you get super confident, as you know, one TV show or one job, the next one could just go away as just as easily. Well, it's because that's also the nature of our business. The nature of our business is Yeah, I mean I you tell everybody that you don't understand what it's like to be on something like a Boy Meets World like show for seven years where Thursday night you're awesome, and you wake up Friday morning and it's done, and that's it, it's over. You're hey, you you know how you're so awesome yesterday when you got start again trying to find the jobs and hitting the pavement and doing everything the whole way. But you're right, it is a leap of faith, much like the leap of faith that Indiana Jones has to take. And clearly the best of those films the last pisade Um. So yes, that's that's what we're gonna be begetting is the Temple of June glad. He also remembered Yasmine Bleaf because I thought maybe all of us had some sort of collective maps, and you know where she where. It's like, maybe she wasn't on the show. Was she in a bathing suit on our show? Like was she was in a like a big sparkly sequin dress. She spoke to his like ringside date. I thought she was like the ring girl or something like. Okay, and then and then Robert Gulay gets up, it's just the sings right bonkers cast. That's gonna be an episode. We should probably dedicate two episodes that are pod to just that episode, because we're not far away from it. We're gonna get to it really soon. So okay, it is in second season? Really we already? Yeah? Oh yeah. I just remember watching when we did the DVD commentary, and there's like an entire scene where I am clearly just not even aware that I'm on camera. I'm just sitting there like zoning out, watching the scene unfold in the ring And I remember looking at myself going, I am so I am just overwhere I'm not present. I am like sitting there going, what is happening to our TV show? You can see it on my face? Oh that's uh yeah. And we'll get into the whole thing with Vader. Just what a man he was. He was such a good guy. Anyway, we'll get it all that. What what the with the success? Though? I meant this when I said this, that could not have happened to a better person than Adams and he's earned everything he's gotten and has just been so magnanimous with everything he does, and it's just it does. He makes me smile. Every time I see him in something. It makes me happy, and I'm just I'm so happy for him. I really am. He's the greatest. Well, I'm really I'm I was so excited when he agreed to do the show and he's been listening. Isn't that cool? That's awesome. It's cool. That's pretty cool.
