One of the best interviews on wtf, EASY. Mike seems so humble and self doubting yet he is a key player of the SNL all stars, only Spade and Farley shined brighter.

Never heard Mike like this. What a treat. Amazing industry insights with his SNL stories.

Jesus. Mike Myers! This is a fabulous talk. WTF is the greatest podcast ever. Marc is so genuine and he is able to talk about stuff but also give the table to his guest whenever he needs to. Just great radio.

12:20

In the film Bohemian Rhapsody, Queen is pitching the song Bohemian Rhapsody to their label exec. The label exec. says "I just can't see a bunch of teenagers in a car banging their heads to it." The actor. Playing the label exec. was Michael Myers.

I've listened to this more then any of the wtf episodes. He's so effortlessly funny! The story about the office always gets me 😅

Starts at 12:15

I really love and appreciate mike immensely. He’s so sweet! He’s my mentor in a way when it comes to acting and film study. I’m a writer and my family has been involved in the arts for years. It’s a family thing... but I’ve read mikes Canada book amazing. I also read a book that someone from their perspective and how they saw mike Myers. Very awesome book!!! I absolutely adore Austin Powers to death. Mikes slapstick is perfect! I could watch him for hours!! I salute mike Myers!

I found that whole "difficult to work with" thing really fascinating. Great example of how ruthless and fucked up the Hollywood industry can be. These producers and money people are funny or creative, they just have a template for what they've decided a movie or a show should be. It's all numbers to them. Even after Mike proved that he was right and they were wrong, they still label him "difficult to work with". Doesn't matter that he made great movies and tons of money, he still had the audacity to suggest that maybe he knows what's funny and they don't. Reminds me of Louie: he went around and felt like he had to cater to these ppl, and the work suffered. As a result he refused to make anything unless he had complete creative control. Any time some executive tried to tamper with his show Louie, he'd just say "well, maybe we should just forget it and not make the show" and they'd back off. The result was an incredible show. It's just kinda tragic to me that movie studio people don't respect the vision of great comedians, but I'm glad guys like Mike are willing to throw their reputations on the line to do good work

Reveals a depth and understanding of Mike Myers that I had no idea about. Great listen. Entertaining and thought provoking. Luckily this is an instance of knowing more about a person making it better, not worse.

Marc Maron does the best interviews of comedians, hands down. My favorite podcast.

every young person should listen to this and absorb it - this is a life lesson.

Can't believe how humble and down to earth he is

*BLOWN AWAY. This has to be one of the best I've heard yet. Cheers!

‘Treat my problems like my children’ this is such a hilarious yet golden truth. Your guests are great but you are awesome. 🙏🏼😊

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this interview. Not just a great story of Mike but a great job from Marc. The west is the best. ❤

This is exactly what a podcast should be...finding someone you wanted to know about with intimate, interesting, reflective, and thought provoking conversation. Time just flew bye...kudos to Mr. Maron on his podcast. Great interview.

Wow! Only 18k views and 100 likes. Super underrated. This was a great one.

I've listened to 75+ WTF interviews. This is the very best interview yet! Mike Myers truly is a talent! Very interesting guy.

Mike blows my mind. This guy is so well read. After listening to this interview If I ran in to Mike on the street I don’t think I would say much. Just a genius.

I have tremendous respect for mr. Myers, what a great interview!

Mike is wonderful, he's this perfect combination of funny, smart and introspective. He's had a tough life but, like a sweet Canadian would never say, it was tough. You are talking about him in the past tense. Mike is lovely, relevant and kind of lived his life backward.

Cool interview.

It would be funny if Marc kept asking him about the movie Halloween

loved this...always loved Mike as a comedian...now I like him as a person ..great interview

This is a great interview.

I love his evident pride in his Liverpool heritage

Great Interview!

Nothing but Love for Mike!❤

I like Mike. But I too am Canadian, and I have to disagree with Canada having no cuisine. Have you heard of Poutine? Kraft DInner? Pineapple Pizza?

Loved that. Agreed, personally was one of the best w.t.f.Ive heard.. well done to the Maron does a great job to encourage these disclosures.. coincidentally a Marron is an exotic endangered freshwater blue crayfish.. live only in south west australia

Speechless!!!

Woah. What a profound ending. Powerful stuff.

the cat monologue is relatable

my early childhood was more Kids in the Hall, SCTV and SNL than cartoons, when dad got us posted to a new base, it usually took a couple weeks before we had cable again, so I watched a ton of CBC and CTV, because antenna's which showed all that stuff late at night and I had a little black and white tv in my room. lol I remember first watching Wayne's world in my cousin's rec room when my dad and I went to visit when it first came to block buster.

Great guest. Really interested in Myers now. Now knowing he's such a strong film enthusiast, I want to watch his inspirations, then rewatch his work. Contextually I feel it might change.

44:10 He does the best Lorne Michaels impression EVER

I was at that Chicago comedy show. It was free in grant park. I remember Dana carvey came out dropping f bombs and was pulled to the side by someone or a few people. Apparently you can't come out on stage at a comedy show in a Chicago park throwing f bombs like confetti. He then came back on using the church lady voice to sort of apologize. Planned or not it was interesting.

Fantastic drinking game. Listen and you’ll get it.

Wonderful

Awesome Bohemian Rhapsody story and I completely understand why he wanted it

Wow. This was awesomeness. I got a lot of work done while listening. It sounded like Mike was living the life with every phase. Then he pretty much says life began at 48. Mike, I think you have a lot to take away from your interview with Mike. Or maybe you just did. You just havr a different nervous system, if you will. Spend time in Canada

I won't play war games,....I got hooked on Sim City 4,.....you build cities,.....no killing. Computer games came out when I was already too old, maybe I was in my 50s. I missed the whole thing.

He sounds like Michael J. Fox

Funny that he says when he started at SNL, he hadn’t seen the show for 7 years, because his vcr would only tape for two hours.

Mike thought up Wayne's World Thursday,and Performed it with Dana Carvey on SNL Saturday...Genius!

Jokes aside, this is a great interview. A really strong discourse. Well done at being normal, fellas! The Real is on point here. Definitely messaging this to a couple buddies.

M&M&M&M in all directions, Man I miss Mike's musings. Move ya, er, uh, love ya guys.

"you gotta be nice to your boss",,uses his voice for drEvil😂

Mike Myers, the Ben Franklin of comedy.

Mike's first wife Robin played an enormous roll in his early career and SNL days. He habitually mentioned her in nearly every talk show appearance in the 90's & she even appears on the Wayne's World book jacket as a co-contributor. Funny how he neglects to say her name here. Not even the tiniest hat-tip to her roll in his craft.

…Holy… Dr. Evil’s voice is Myers’ impression of Lorne Michaels

Ok i clicked on this for mike myers and i got 7 minutes of mid life crisis idgaf about ur cats goddamit why u gotta lay that on me for

Great interview because Marc was quiet.

Idk if Mark can sell armored warfare, but he's one hell of a stamp salesmen.

Deep

It would be nice to be rich and famous enough to wait until your 50 to have kids...

"two planks and a passion"

Cool guy.

42:25 Reagan had just been assassinated when Mike Myers did a show??? That was in 1981!

Yes

I hate to hear that he's happy and doing well. Hopefully things have changed since this interview.

great interview - but watch it on Marc's original channel and not on someone basically stealing the broadcast

40:25 mike myers' father heckling performers

12.20 Mike finally appears.

If Mike Myers did a new Austin Powers movie, I came up with the new satires Never Shag Again Mojoraker Tomorrow Never Shags The UK is not Enough Mojo Another Day

His voice sounds different

TIL Dr. Evil = Lorne Michaels

His voice and Michael J Fox’s voice are nearly indistinguishable.

Great interview but disappointed they didn’t talk about his box office flop Love Guru. WTF?

The Kids In The Hall as of 2121, range in age from 58 to 61. That's some old kids.

24:27 go look it up. Trust me.

38:16

crazy how mild his british accent is

Remember when interviewers used to ask a question and then S.T.F.U. ?!

Is Lorne Dr Evil?

to be fair silver plated nuke on coke thats how you kill him love the show man

listen to Michael Buble's song "Hollywood is Dead!" Similar!

12:20 - You're welcome.

Myers is great. Love Guru was not. But he gets a pass.

1:05:34 I was listening to another WTF interview, where another former SNL cast member (Jim Breuer) told how he learned things the hard way working there lol. One of the headwriters literally took the ideas he wrote from the snl offices server with no guilt whatsoever 😂 I think that was Adam McKay. Protect your material Jim haha

44:15... Loren? Or Dr. Evil???🤯

Feed My Frankenstein is a good song...Eighteen and School's Out have been played too much.

Mike is obviously a smart cat. I suspect he might be high iq

94

Listened to Norm McDonald before this. What a juxtaposition in personalities. Mike is such a nice guy and decent human being. Really great conversation.

good lessons here...

trono

i had to stop watching at about 5:30 even though i grew up just down the street from Mike because he started defining my own life, and i started comparing ;

stop saying "artist" mike...holy crap eh

10:59... You're welcome.

Interviewer needs to talk less and listen more

48:34

Smugg...and def lost cred when he tried to push that he had an impression of Lorne before snl....yeah.....cmmon

I love him and all, but he comes across a bit ecocentric here? Don't jump down my throat!

Treating your pets like your children isn't endearing, it's a disease
