Kevin Pollak (2015)

When will you be visiting the compound?

>I gotta tell ya, getting old sucks. I keep a jar of Crisco and a spatula by the bed so that when I get up to urinate every 15 minutes and my balls stick to the sheets, I can peel them off. Wichita, you're on the air!

Hello sir! Who are your comedy influences?

Kevin, let’s talk ARNOLD…what were your best memories woking with Schwarzenegger? Did you smoke any stogies with him or pump up in the gym together? What’s your best and worst Arnold story on End of Days?

Hey Kevin! Been looking forward to Misery Loves Comedy since seeing the trailer a few months ago. Have you ever met a partial ocular albino? Also, do you have any stories you can share from making Grumpy/Grumpier Old Men. Those movies are classics with my family. Thanks for talking to us! Keep being an awesome and busy motherfucker!

You are one of the more famous fans of Opie and Anthony, have you ran into any one that you were surprised was also a fan?

Chipperson/Hargis 2016

If I send you some money for you to buy beer will you tell me the Usual Suspects story?????

What item from the Lost Room would you choose to have if having it in real life was an option?

How did you come up with the Larry King game ?

Hey, Kevin, how would Christopher Walken respond to a reddit AMA question?

Hi Kevin,

Serious inquiry. I'm a filmmaker (or trying to be one) I've interned at places, worked at places that have production and some that don't have production (mostly short film sets.)

Now at the age of 25 I'm curious. Just how the hell do I get more active ON SETS in studios/on locations. It seems everywhere one would look it's administrative positions that are far off from anything involved on set.

My inquiry is, do you or anyone you know need a production assistant or something that starts out more on sets with physical production? I have an Executive Assistant position right now at a Business Management firm for Entertainment clients and I find it hard to see the transition from here to on sets. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you for your time!

How do I tell you apart from Sydney Pollack, Jackson Pollack, and Pollack, the fish?

Can you moderate an O&A debate on your dumb show?

Hey Kevin. Im a big fan of all your work and your podcast. About 8-10 years ago you did a show at a Kansas City Improv. Afterwards, you came into the Italian restaurant where I worked at the time and I made you a pizza. Then you came over and partied with us at a British guys apartment. That was cool. Are we still friends forever?

Who's the guest Sunday?

I'm v excited for 'Misery Loves Comedy'!

Get John Mulaney on the podcast, please?

Kevin, longtime fan. I probably pull up the bit of you doing Albert Brooks as Bruce Wayne once a month. What was the one part that you lobbied the hardest to get and were the most elated to have won?

Were you shocked when House Arrest got snubbed by the Academy? Your best work, in my opinion.

Of course! How could he not be a fan? I'm sure you brought 1000x more awareness to the ocular albino community. They probably talked about it at monthly meetings for years.

I read that perfectly in Walter Matthau's voice. Thanks for that. Years ago while camping with my grandparents in MN we met an old couple who said they were extras dancing in the Oktoberfest scene. I don't remember if they said it was Matthau or Lemmon, but they claimed one of them was, well, grumpy, and refused to shoot until they tore the wall down in his hotel room to make it bigger and open the place up. No shits given, you were all awesome in those movies. Thanks again!

Can you fill us in on the best Rickles story?

Kevin, you're awesome. Just wanted to be clear on that.

You've been in a bunch of stuff I've loved, and of course your Bill Shatner impression is impeccable. My question is for your famed serious role in "A Few Good Men"

Is Reiner as great with his acotrs as others have put it? Were there any scenes were he got on your case for how you delivered your line (how it's supposed to be said)? And are there any funny anecdotes from that shoot that stand out in memory?

Thanks!

Can you do an impression of Kevin Spacey's WRITING?

When did you first realise you were really good at impressions; was it something that you developed and had to practice, or were you just naturally good at it?

Kevin, you masterful comedic genius you. I want you to know that I almost wrecked the morning you were on the Bob and Tom show and did the Walken bit about interviewing him “Marsupials never scared me!”

How often do you screw around with your co-stars while on set? Do you do them just to see if they get it? Have you ever been busted by one of them while doing them for others? What is next on the horizon for you? The next time you do the Bob & Tom Show, can we beg you to do “Off The Air” with Chick McGee?

Will you call my cellphone and leave a message as Chris?

Is there anyone you wanted to get for Misery but were unable to?

I used to dislike Sam Roberts a lot too, but in retrospect, he worked really hard to get where he is. I think Kevin should really reconsider his stance of him as well.

Is there any beef between you and Kevin Spacey? If not will he ever be on the podcast?

I mean I can understand hating Stephen Baldwin, he seems like a douche.

Have you ever mistaken yourself for a weirder, less funny version of Todd Barry?

Got any good sex tips?

Hey Chat show,
I love that you were one of the original podcasts that were out there. How do you like working with Earwolf? Also from the last year, what has been your favorite interview?

You have great stories of running into people that you impersonate like Walken and Arkin. Any others?

Who was the cut up of all the cast in Usual Suspects? You were so brilliant in that flick, btw. Tell me it was the best time ever!

In THE USUAL SUSPECTS, what effect, if any, did it have on how you played your scenes knowing who Kaiser Soze really was?

I thought your work in Avalon was fantastic and you've consistently turned in wonderful performances in both comedy and drama. Have you ever been intimidated by a role you've played by or a fellow actor you've worked with?

Hey Kevin, what is your favorite way to prepare chicken?

Hi Kevin. My friends and I had a great time in Phoenix for the live KPCS with Matthew Perry. You can remake any film, what would it be and what role would you play?

Your poscast is incredible. Who has been your favorite guest?

Has anyone ever asked you "Hey, aren't you one of the little guys from Willow? The really little ones?"

Loved you in that film.

Real question, it looks like Misery Loves Comedy is sort of your baby, having the writing and directing credit. What would you say was the most unexpected thing you encountered when making your own documentary?

Hi Kevin. What changes would you make to the Chat Show if you had an unlimited budget?

that would be great. Any idea what Walken thinks of your impressions?

What was it like filming Willow?

The question everyone really wants answered:

Assuming that we live in a world that has walls, and that those walls have to be guarded by men with guns... would Lieutenant Weinberg do it?

Hey Kevin, what's the one line you had the hardest time delivering because you were laughing too much?

Sounds libelous and therefore must be good. Speaking of the Usual Suspects, I heard that the line-up scene was actually the best outtake and that David Fincher couldn't get you guys to stop laughing and goofing around. It worked out very well but is that true?

Hey, Kevin! I'm a big fan of your podcast.

I just watched the trailer, and it looks great! Good Job!

And since this is an AMA and I have to ask a question... What are your favorite comedians right now? (and don't give me a bullshit answer like "oh, all the people featured in my documentary are my favorite comedians"). Who makes you laugh the most?

Hey.

I think you're hilarious.

Did you see this short comedy titled "Pollack" on YouTube? I thought it was funny.

That reminds me, how yah sleepin?

Hey Kevin,

What has been your strangest fan encounter?

Who was the first person you impersonated? I know you have a history of being a fantastic impersonator, but I am curious as to where you got your start doing it. Was it at a young age?

Do you have a certain time that you view as a golden age of standup? Do you have any non-comedy influences that shaped your style/career?

Hey chat show, I really enjoy your Kevin Pollak.

I have two questions:

1) Who would you really like to get on the show who hasn't already been?

2) What's the deal with Samm Levine?

Hi Kevin... Big fan of the podcast. Are you working on any new impressions that we might not have heard? Also, any impressions that you just can't do?

Hey Kevin, great to see you on here.

You're a very versatile actor. Is there a role or project that you'd like to try that you haven't been able to yet?

Mr. Pollack,
What would you say is your best accomplishment (aside from your Walken impressions)?

Have you ever been to Europe? and if so what's been for favourite place to visit? .. also hi :)

Mr Pollak my wife is a huge fan and is stuck at work :-(
She's super pissed you are no longer on Mom, but wants to know if you ACTUALLY got stoned in the kitchen scene in Indian Summer. And if so, how many tokes...er I mean takes did it take?

Hey Kevin, what was it like making Deterrence? It's one of my favorite performances of yours
