Hi, this is Gilbert Gottfried and this is Gilbert Gottfried's amazing colossal podcast with my co-host Frank Santopoddry.

And our guest this week is returning to the show for a second time and we're thrilled that she decided to take another plunge.

She's an actress comedian, voice actor, a comedy historian, and an Emmy nominated comedy writer, a cast member of the original Saturday Night Live.

I think I've heard of that particular program, a founding member of the legendary groundlings comedy group and theater and we're happy to report a devoted listener of this very podcast.

You know her work from popular TV shows like St. Ed's Square, Third Rock from the Sun, Friends, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Beavis and Butthead, American Dad and Bob Spurgers to name a few.

And in feature films like Tunnel Vision, Star Dust memories, Holy Moses, American Hot Wax, perfect, invaders from Mars, coneheads, fear and loathing in Las Vegas, and a little flick called Problem Child 2.

Again, I think I've seen that one. She's also done outstanding voice work on numerous television shows and in movies, Finding Nemo Shrek 2.

Wolley Toy Story 3, Inside Out, Wreck It Ralph, Minions and Others. Her new memoir is a terrific one. It's called May You Live in Interesting Times and includes hilarious anecdotes about her childhood, her years on SNL,

and her long and strange journey through show business. Frank and I are pleased to welcome back to the show, one of our favorite funny people, as well as a fellow monster kid,

and a woman who won so edition for a movie by sitting on Robert De Niro's life, stroking his hair and singing to him. Our pal, Lorraine Newman.

Hey, hi everybody. Lorraine. Hey. How are you?

I'm great guys. Absolutely great. Sweating my ass off in my closet talking to you. She's in a closet. We should point out to our listeners.

When are you finally going to come out? Don't go there, honey. Just don't.

I always just beg that with you. Oh, you have no idea.

Lorraine is sitting in a closet for proper audio for best audio. You know, and we have to put our faith in her because she's a professional voice actor.

Yes, and I've had to learn all sorts of methods of recording, compressing a file and delivering it on several platforms. Isn't that a good story?

Yes. Well, since most of our guests can't do that, we're greatly relieved that you can actually record on your own and deliver on your own.

Tell Gilbert the De Niro story before we go. We'll go away from it because it's in the memoir and it's very funny.

It's a kind of backtrack. When I was around 19, my boyfriend was an artist and he lived very close to the tropicana motel, which was really infamous.

It was the scene of many hero and overdoses and the setting for Andy Warhol's movie trash. And right below it was dukes.

It was a coffee shop. So it was known as dukes at the tropicana. And it was really like the Hollywood canteen.

We would. It was family style seating so you could be sitting across from Miggie Pop or next to Tom Waits.
