So I'm going to punch someone in the mob. Is that a rule that you have to be a hockey fan if you live in Canada? I know, and then I sort of sheeple, she'll say, "Oh, it's okay." Yeah, yeah. Okay, so you're at the Wilbur... On what we call laying it down, which means it's a comedy word for doing your best and getting great response from the audience. Well, we're thrilled that you're laying it down because we're huge fans. Well, thank you. Yeah, no, it'll be fun. Boston was always one of our favorite places as the kids in the hall to play, and now that I'm doing the show, which I started off Broadway, and now I'm bringing it to Boston because I'm backwards that way, it's just so great to come. And I want to get to Schitt's Creek in a couple of minutes. So what's the show about when you bring it to Boston Martin 16th to the Wilbur? Well, it's comedy, music, sort of storytelling, and a little bit about it is just what we've all been through through the pandemic, and some people say it's touching and uplifting, but it's also super funny and just a little bit dirty. Oh, yeah. Funny you should mention the pandemic because a lot of people say that Schitt's Creek exploded during the pandemic, and you were one of the writers of that show. Congratulations. That's a big director. Yeah, I think so. I think there's something sweet and kind of uplifting about that show, which, you know, I don't know, just sort of touched people. It's like, oh, it's so bingeable, which is sort of maybe a terrible thing to say about the show that people work so hard on, but it's like, yeah, there's just something kind about that show that people responded to. Do you mind if we relive some of your favorite episodes? I know you happen to direct the episode where David's boyfriend sang Tina Turner to him. Yeah, and he said, well, what's your plan here? I said, I think we're going to do it in one shot and one take. And he said, what? Because they like to do a lot of shots and a lot of take. And the first time he did it, we did it in one shot. And it was like, I was crying because it was so touching. And it was just like, we can do it again, Dan, but we don't have to. And of course, we did it again, but we used the first take. So it was one of those great moments. How did you pick the song? Well, that was his impulse. Like, and it's always been, you know, and I didn't know until he started, you know, started singing it, or it was sung how beautiful it was, that rendition of it. So, yeah, I know that was Dan's impulse. Wow, we actually have a clip. Justin, can we play it? So good, right? Everybody crying. Yeah, everybody. It's too early to cry. Really? And it's Friday. You know, I meant during that in the episode, everybody on set was crying. It really was. And even Eugene, you know, who's that? Yeah, who's very emotional. He can seem crusty, but he's a very emotional guy. Like, he was tearing up, watching his son fall in love. So it was beautiful, yeah. Oh, that was really sweet. Uh, yeah. I know. I know. Lisa is crying. I was, yeah, it was great. I watched it with my whole family. Well, it was a great rendition of the show. Who arranged it? Um, that was, I don't know who that was. I should, I should have done more. It was really a beautiful rendition of the song. Yeah, well, but he recorded it himself. Noah. So it was, you know, uh, I think he did it himself. And it was a, and it sort of blew up a little bit on, you know, on Apple Music. Yeah. Yeah. Um, do you have favorite episodes of "Shits Creek"? Oh, you know, I, I went back and I watched the pilot recently for something else I was doing. And I just like, why was that a masterful one where they, where they set it up? I think the, the one you've referenced is kind of my favorite. Um, you know, any, watching Catherine do anything. It's like sometimes I just fast forward to her scenes. No offense to everybody else. Uh, cause they're, she's just so quirky and amazing, you know? Yeah, the accent. We were like, how did she come up with that? Right? Yeah. And you know, ever so often when she'd get tired, it would just go away. And she's like, I'm done. It seems like everybody on "Shits Creek" was cast perfectly. You know what I mean? I couldn't imagine anyone else in those roles, except for those people. Yeah. And his sister is so great. Like, I think that's the hallmark of a, of a quite good show, is where you just can't imagine somebody else. And there's no, you know, it's like the Boston Bruins, where there's no wasted player. Um, you know, and I think that's what, what came together in that show. Weren't they all Canadians too? Yeah, the whole thing. Yeah. Yeah. Canadians can be good, you know? Yep. Sometimes. As a bed wetter myself, I really liked the bed wetting episode. I don't, I don't, west the bed anymore. Yes. No, only till you were 26. But on the internet. I don't anymore. That was a great, well, they were all great at that. Yeah. So when did you write for "Saturday Night Live?" A thousand years ago, I actually did that before I did the kids in the hall. So that was Lauren's first year back with amazing cast. It was like Robert Downey Jr. It was this weird and Michael Anthony Hall. You know, John Lovitz. I wrote "Some of the Liar," that, that's the ticket. And then after that, Lauren said, "You know, we should do a show with your troop." And, and then we did the kids in the hall. So did Gilmore Girls come after that? Much after that. Wow. Yeah. And I think they just said, they wrote me a letter saying, "We're huge fans, will you do our show?" And it's like, yeah, I'll do anything. I'm in LA. I got nothing going. I'll sweep the floor. Do you have books that you've written? I mean, you are a writer. Yeah. I wrote a book called "Let's Start a Riot," which is sort of a memoir of my weird stories, which I do a couple of in this show. And then now I'm, I'm, I'm turning this show into my next book. And of course, it'll be called "Tales of Braver in Stupidity," like the show. Wow. I selfishly ask, because at least a Donovan just started a brand new book club. And it is taking off. Yeah. Well, you should, you should, I'll send you my book. I would love that. Start a riot. Yeah. And you can come in and be on our book club. My god. Let's set it up. I'll never leave. I'll stay for the show. Yeah. I know she does it with a live audience. Oh, it's so, it's, it's so interactive and it's just really taking off. Oh, that sounds fantastic. Yes, I'd love to have you. Yeah, I'd love that. And I love descriptives when a guest is coming in. If you don't mind, Bruce, I'll read this. Uh-oh. Bravery in Stupidity moves brilliantly between funny, relatable, and surprisingly touching. Using music stand-up and storytelling, Bruce looks at the bravely stupid things he's done. Well, it's true. Which is the dumbest? Oh, well, the one I can't, I can't even put in the show. Uh, one time I was on an airplane and I have this terrible joke with my wife where I, uh, I text her, uh, Al Aqbar before the plane takes off. And, and the flight attendant caught me. And they, and then I had to explain it. I was like, no, it's a dark joke. I'm a comedian. So, so I had to sing the Dave's. I know when she didn't know the Dave's. I know. Oh my God. It could be the funniest thing I've ever heard. You text this to your wife. Yeah, on board. Yeah, and a couple of fire emojis, of course. And, uh, and I got caught, the woman beside me, in my seat, like panic. And the flight attendant took me up to the front to the galley and said, "I'm sure there's something alarming that you put on your phone." "I'm a comedian." She didn't. Nobody knew me. I think the pilot knew me. So I was okay. Wow, is that a funny story? I'm so goo out, I asked. It is Ryan Seacrest here.
