I like David Alan Grier honesty and modesty. Good guy.
And talent!
I met David before he is the most authentic nice dude ever. Also criminally underrated
"Wrote a song bout it, wanna hear it? Here it go ! ! ! "
Hahahahaahaa

David Allen grier was such an influence on my life as a young man. My parents would let me stay up late on sundays just to watch in living color and I remember going to school the next day and doing whatever impressions or skits DAG would do that night. He was just amazing in my eyes
Grier did star in one of the greatest sketch comedy shows of all time, he didnt miss anything just caught a different flight.
Agreed but looking back to the 1990s. There was alot of movies he woulda been good in.
This dude is hilarious!
Love this guy. Love him in Jumanji and Return to Me.
Blank Man and Other Guy was my favorite lol
Since we are talking about the scary talent of David Alan Grier, I still firmly believe he was robbed of the Academy Award for his role in "Blankman."
Blankman was dope
👏👏👏 he’s so honest and funny.
DAG is one of Stern’s best guests of all time. I laughed harder than any other guest ever.
Love when the guest are honest and authentic. Only Stern is capable of bringing this out in interviews 😀👍
DAG was kinda like the Phil Hartman of In Living Color. He could narrate as a straightman, and also be very very funny.
Jim Carey was the Dana Carvey, if you will.
Adam Aroeste Yes, spot on.
Adam Aroeste Exactly!
See him in Tales from the Hood. Grier tended to specialize in moronic or childlike roles on In Living Color, but in this movie, he plays an abusive parent.
No. Jim Carey is talented.
Perfect example. I miss Phil Hartman.
I love the honesty. So many times people won't own up to being wrong and it humanizing and humble to hear these stories.
This interview gets 2 snaps and a circle
Fuck man I thought I was the only OG out there. Respect. BTW it's TWO SNAPS IN A CIRCLE. The fuck how you gonna add on a circle to the snaps oh hell nah.
@@pappyodanial hated it.
@@pappyodanial You're right my dude, its been a while since I've seen that. I thought they snapped then circled, my mistake
When DAG passed on Ace Ventura Jim probably said, “Allllllllllll-righty then”!!!
😂😂
I remember the day Ace Ventura came out running around to different theaters w/ my buddy and his dad looking for a place that had tickets. Shit was SOLD OUT.
I LOVE how Robin laughs at him at the end, hilarious
She's like "I knew which white guy to attach my career too."
I give this interview TWO SNAPS IN A CIRCLE
Amazing to hear his Natural Speaking Voice.. So Used to him Playing Various Characters.
And ironically, Tommy Davidson (from ILColor) knocked it out of the park in Ace 2.
One of his best impressions on in living color was his ike Turner
Rob Schneider had to turn down Ace Ventura because he was auditioning for The Stapler
Courtney Cox in AV was banging!
Not as bangin as the chick who lost the ShihTzu lol
I'll haft to agree with you on that but both were smoking
I love this GUY
lmao David is a gem!
DAG is my favorite Uncle. I love this guy. A national treasure for real.
Always the best interviews on Howard Stern hands down.
Seinfeld success speaks for itself. And no disrespect to David here, it wouldn't be the same show 😎
David Alan Grier was in Boomerang, classic.
"I think they in there f*ckin'."
One of the most underrated comics ever.
Never in my wildest dreams would I have pictured DAG to look like this lol
listened to the interview today. great content. loved it. also watched ace ventura and water boy! great show today. newly wet game tommorrow
David was so fucking hilarious as a guest on the Adam Corolla radio show in LA.
Love you Uncle Phil.
Ace Ventura is not Carrey's first film. His first starring role in a film was "Once Bitten." That film came out nine years before Ace Ventura.
I think they meant first film as a star.
Great interview
I was just like that kid with my ace Ventura vhs lol
Where is the rest of the intwrview? This guy is a national treasure abd a treasure of talent (highly educated, comedy, drama, theater, broadway, etc)
Great Interview, The Comedic Genius that is David Allen Grier spans such a broad range. Don't believe me? Put his name in the search bar.
Traveling Tal seriously, underrated for real
David's one of the greatest
i loved him in tales from the hood , watch him in that LOL
I miss Carmichael show so much. He was great on it, as was everyone else.
He's a good man
I'll watch anything from In Loving Color or Mad TV over anything SNL puts out today.
true
I love me some David he's so funny
that sounds kind of gay bruh. are you one of them dudes?
If acting was basketball assist's, David would be the greatest of all time. i believe David was a big part of Damon, Jim and Jamie slam dunks in that show In Living Color
I love David Alan Grier. He's batsh*t crazy. I have a hard time holding my blatter when he's on. He is one of the funniest "Straight Men" of all time. He's very much like Dean Martin against Jerry Lewis. Living color was my favorite show when I was a kid.
Always do your best.
he is brutally honest. so funny
Jim Carrey made Ace Ventura, it's hard to imagine it would have done nearly as well with Rob Schneider
Cory Falde - um I think you’re missing the point here. David is saying he & Rob were supposed to have a PART in Jim’s movie, which he turned down. Not the lead. He was supposed to play the role given to rapper Tone Loc in the film.
Carrey is literally the only guy who could've pulled off that character.
and who would DAG be?
Legend
david's wonderful
Funky finger productions! Lemme give you my card....you know what? I’m fresh out. That’s cool, lemme see what we got here.....BAMMM!
Dave's a good guy.
Please ask him about Martin and playing the Pastor 😂 cause that was golden
Jim Carrey’s best film to date
He did well in “In the Army Now” and many 80’s shows. Alf/In living Colour/etc.
I like these type of celebrity interviews. They us normals, that they are human to by making career mistakes.
Jim Carry's first film was Once Bitten and then Peggy Sue Got Married and then Earth Girls are Easy. 😉
Now I want to hear dave sing the believe it or not I’m not home song
WE NEED BLANK MAN 2!!!!
Once Bitten was Jim Carrey's 1st movie. It was waaaaaayy before in living color.
Technically rubber face was his first.
Yes it was....I’m not sure on this...I don’t think he was named Jim Carrey back then....I think Nicolas Cage has a movie like that too where he didn’t go by that name. Also...Dane Cook was in Simon Sez, but he didn’t go under the name Dane Cook back then.
I just think they’re uncredited sometimes due to the mass just not realizing it. I’m sure this has happened to a lot of actors who hadn’t came up with their stage name yet
He also had a scene in a Dirty Harry movie -The Dead Pool -where he is supposed to be a hard rock lead singer. So he’s lipsyncing to “Welcome to the Jungle”! It is so bizarre. Obviously the producers of the movie had no idea the song would blow up at the time of filming or they were just idiots to choose a song so iconically linked to Axl Rose.
But it wasn't "a Jim Carrey movie," it was just a movie.
classic stern
DAG has always been a fave
Love DAG!
Robbin laugh at the end, this is how it should be
Life , there is nothing more honest
DAG! Do yourself a favor and go listen to the old Love Line episodes with DAG on YT. He was as wacky as Jim Carrey. Funny AF too
“Jeremiah was a bullfrog!”
DAG is a genius
Moral of the story: black comedy and white comedy, very different.
David Alan Grier is one of the funniest ever.
Dave & rob Schinieder Would of Been legendary together !
But ace ventura wouldn't have been the same with him and Rob Schneider. Might have been better with David as the tone loc character though
Bring back cool kids tv show because it's funny and entertaining
It's really hard to see something fully formed when it's in it's infancy.
In fairness to DAG, the first season of Seinfeld was weak and that’s putting it nicely. It got a lot better in season two, thank goodness.
And specially seeing it on paper probably made it sound worse.
DAG was great on In Living Color and the movie A Soldiers Story. He seems like a really good guy.
If anyone could do Ace Ventura like jim, its DAG.
Once Bitten was before Ace Ventura.
he was in a couple before AV
Yes and I think Earth Girls are easy was before that too.
That's true. And I want to say he was in a TV movie too.
I think he meant as a leading role.
@@bill3901 Once Bitten was his first feature film starring role though
David Allan Grier in Amazon Women on the Moon
David Grier should get together with Letterman and they can be CRAZY OLD GUYS WITH WHITE BEARDS AND A LOT OF TIME ON THEIR HANDS.....
Am I the first to mention DAG's brief cameo in the Star Wars radio drama?
Sure glad he choose to do In the Army Now. Great career choice.
If you didn't know, Tom Hanks admitted that he gets his mannerisms from DAG... #GPC
*”Like to hear it? Here it go!”
That wasn't DAG,that was George Stanford Brown--or Moses Gunn.
Lol poor DAG he was very doubtful in his early days. He turned down a lot projects because he didn't think they'd work but they ended up becoming classics.
I was one of those little kids
David looking good for his age
DAG. Frikin genius
He could play current day Mike Tyson easily.
Ace Ventura wasn’t Jim Carrey’s first film FYI. 😎
2 snaps up
Jerry " why is there a schvatza in the audition?"
In DAG's defense, he was right to turn it down. I don't see anybody other than Jim Carey pulling off Ace Ventura.
BONZO KILBOURN - David said he & Rob were supposed to have a PART in Jim’s movie, which he turned down. Not the lead. He was supposed to play the role given to rapper Tone Loc in the film. How do people keep missing this? It was not for the lead role...
If Ace Ventura starred Grier and Rob Schneider it would have tanked. It's only funny because Jim took it over and made it what it was.
What he has to remember or think about is "Would Ace Ventura of been as successful if he done it?"
beautiful , funny man
I'd turn down the money too if I had to work with Rob Schneider
hey, we'll always have blankman lol im serious btw
