Comics Come Home, a benefit for the Chris Farley Foundations, rolls into the Wisconsin Union Theater. 800 Langdon Street, this Saturday at 7:30. The Daily Cardinal recently spoke with comic Sweetchuck from the Police Academy movies, Tim Kazurinsky.
Is everyone who comes to Comics Come Home from Madison, because David Spade is here, and you're from Chicago, right?
Yeah. Spade is actually from Arizona...The people are from all over ... There are some Madison people....
The Farley brothers...
The Farley brothers! What more do you need? Jeez! What I'm going up to do is part of an improv group.
How is that going to work, exactly?
Well, we don't really know. We've done it every year, it's always a different and disparate group. But since we all have similar backgrounds and training, we just sort of trust each other, and it's never been the same outfit twice. Everyone seems to be very good and go with the flow ... We take audience suggestions and we play some games; I know Dave likes to do some of the longer form stuff ... I don't know what it'll be like this year, but it's always the unpredictable part of the evening, because the stand ups you know, they do it in Topeka Tuesday, Nebraska Thursday and Madison Saturday, so they pretty much know what they're gonna do. So we're the high wire act. And unless you're failing a little bit, improv's never that good anyway. You gotta see some people fall on their face.
That's true. Most people know you from the \Police Academy"" movies.
Yeah, that's a shame, isn't it? (laughs)
I was wondering how typecasting's affected you over the years.
Paul Newman once said that you'll always be remembered for the lowest thing you do in your career. I've been a screenwriter--""About Last Night,"" where Demi Moore has her real tits, not the new scientific models she got for ""Striptease.""
Is that when that happened?
Yeah, she got the hooters for ""Striptease."" But I like the originals! They're smaller, they work for me. I don't like those chemically enhanced mammaries.
Well, you know, saline is found in the body.
It is, I'm informed. But usually it's not encased in a silicone bag. I just had a movie called ""Strange Relations"" that was my first drama. I'm real happy with it.
I guess the most recent thing I've seen you in was ""Curb Your Enthusiasm.""
(laughs) Fuck Hugh! I don't get HBO, because we've got a 12 and a 14 year old and my wife didn't want those titty shows coming into the house, so I had no idea it had such a cult following. After I appeared in it, everybody on my email list saw it, and just walking around Chicago, it seems like everybody's seen that show.
Do a lot of people ask you about your son?
They do ... they say ""hello Hugh"" and I say ""fuck Hugh"" right back at them. I've just been abusing people.
Do people come up to you and say, ""Your son, does he have a huge wang?""
Yeah, are you the guy with the son .. yeah yeah yeah. He's hung like a Shetland pony.
