Bill Hader interview

Interview0 Comments

Esquire interviews Hader about his thoughts on Robin Williams suicide.

I don’t know my thoughts on this issue. I met Robin Williams a few times, and he was a beautiful guy. It’s a disease. I had a friend in high school who committed suicide, and it’s a disease that’s hard for people to manage. It was a total surprise. Milo, in the movie, is different. His is more a cry for help than an actual disease. He’s just looking for some sort of attention. I think it’s much different than what Robin Williams went through.

Glover discusses his career as a tap dancer and what he sees in the future for tap dance in this interview for PBS.

Man, this is my life, you know. At a very early age, as you know, I was introduced to some men and women who had dedicated their lives to this art form. And it’s my proud privilege to now dedicate my life to them and to the art form. So I have no choice, man. This is all I want to do. I’m thankful every moment and opportunity I get to share the information and, hopefully, I can continue on.

Charlie Rose interview

Maher and Rose discuss the ISIS conflict in Iraq and Islam versus Christianity.

There was a Pew poll in Egypt done a few years ago — 82% said, I think, stoning is the appropriate punishment for adultery. Over 80% thought death was the appropriate punishment for leaving the Muslim religion. I’m sure you know these things.

Adam DeVine third interview

Interview0 Comments

DeVine returns as a guest on Conan to promote his latest film The Intern. He also talks about working with co-star Robert DeNiro and his unsuccessful attempts at making him laugh. He also shares his early experiences with marijuana and his rejected audition for Saturday Night Live.

De Niro is the only impression I can kind of do and you guys are like “you can’t.” Not very good at that. I auditioned and I didn’t really know you had to do impressions, even though that’s a thing you absolutely have to do. So I did jack Nicholson. I was like, “I’m jack Nicholson”. That was like my move.
