00:00We're here at school. Tell me about the show.

00:04Well, the show is a spinoff of the Goldbergs.

00:08It's about William Penn Academy, the school where the Goldbergs attend.

00:14And so this show takes place 10 years later after the Goldbergs have left.

00:19And my character is now a principal of the school.

00:23Is playing the principal your thing now? Do people ask you that all the time?

00:28I've only played two principals, I think. I just do it really well.

00:33Maybe that's it.

00:34It's ingrained in people's mind now.

00:36And Anna Gasteyer is going to be guest starring, correct?

00:39So what's it like when you guys get to work together?

00:42I love Anna. We've worked together. We've known each other for a long time.

00:46We've worked together at SNL.

00:47You know, with people at SNL, there's like a camaraderie with each other.

00:53When you spend time together again, it's like no time has passed.

00:57I've had that experience with everybody that I've worked with.

01:01Anyone else you might see here from the cast?

01:03From what?

01:04From SNL?

01:05From SNL, yeah.

01:06I just want to think for a second, are there any more?

01:10Oh, Rob Riggle makes an appearance, and that's all.

01:13Do you have any funny stories you can share dealing with your principal or teachers from back in your high school days?

01:18Do I have any funny stories?

01:20Yeah.

01:20Boy, no.

01:21When I think of my teachers and my experience, I had teachers that were inspiring more so.

01:28I had a gym teacher named, and I remember his name too.

01:31It was Joe Kaminski.

01:32He was a former football player, and he coached football.

01:35He also saw something about me that he liked.

01:40I don't know what it was, but he sort of took me under his wing.

01:43I think he could sense that I didn't have, because my father wasn't in my home.

01:48But I could sense that he sensed that I needed a male figure.

01:53He let me be like his assistant during the regular school year.

01:56Then he found out that I was taking a summer job working at the school that he coached football at.

02:02So I became like the water boy, for lack of a better term.

02:07But he was a great guy.

02:09He was so, he was amazing.

02:10And I don't even think about him occasionally, except in moments like this.

02:15I just think, like, why did he do that?

02:17You know, he didn't have to.

02:20But he was great.

02:21Yeah, Joe Kaminski.

02:22If you're out there, I hope you're well.

02:24He's an amazing dude.

02:25You put me on the spot with the funny story.

02:27If you just said, hey, do you have any stories about, you know, principals or teachers, then I can give you a movie.

02:35How is the show going to be different than The Goldbergs?

02:37I don't know how it's different from The Goldbergs.

02:40Comedically, it's probably along the same lines.

02:43I think it's more of a workplace comedy, whereas The Goldbergs is a family-oriented comedy.

02:47I think the problems and issues that we deal with on Schooled are probably more about working with people and also working with kids.

03:02Whereas The Goldbergs is more about relationship between the siblings and their extended friends and acquaintances.

03:09Hi, I'm Tim Meadows.

03:12Hello, Hollywood Life.

03:14You are on the set of Schooled, a new show from ABC.

03:18It's going to be a blast.

03:20Don't miss it.
