So Liam Neeson recently shot a Save Comedy PSA.
00:03
Do you think comedy is struggling as a genre? Why or why not?
00:08
I don't know the comedies. I think comedy goes through phases.
00:11
I think once every 15 years or so, people say comedy is dead.
00:15
And then something like Seinfeld comes along or something like Old School comes along
00:19
and completely rewrites the book and then suddenly everybody's doing that.
00:23
I don't think it's, I don't think it's, I think a voice.
00:25
And look, Akiva Schaffer, who wrote and directed this movie, is one of those voices
00:30
who comes along and just approaches comedy from a selfless point of view.
00:35
He's out to get laughs. He's out to make his audience happy.
00:41
He's not going in to, like, win Oscars.
00:43
He's just here to do the job that comedy is supposed to do.
00:47
I also know you recently dropped a Sinatra album.
00:50
I was wondering, would you ever consider venturing into producing or starring in a Sinatra film?
00:55
I mean, Sinatra's career spanned five decades, so I don't know.
01:00
It's, it's, there'll be a lot of CGI.
01:03
Listen, you can do it, you can do it.
01:06
Yeah, I, it's, that's a, that's one of the hardest,
01:09
I think many people have tried to make a Sinatra biopic.
01:11
And I think that's the challenge is that he started when he was in his 20s
01:15
and he finished when he was in his 80s.
01:17
So either it's three different actors or it's a Pixar movie.
01:25
You've been standing outside from tomb suspect,
01:28
So, whatever this is all about,
01:43
So, I think that's the challenge.
01:45
So, this is breaking swipe.
