Mark on Conan O'Brien (Sept 17, '99)

C: All right, everybody. We're back.
My next guest was, of course, a founding member of "The Kids In The Hall."
You may also know him from "Saturday Night Live" and the films "Brain Candy" and "Spice World." His latest is the new movie "Dog Park."
Let's get him out here 'cause we didn't have time for him last night. Please welcome, Mark McKinney.
[Mark enters]
C: It's funny, I was, thank you for coming.
M: Hey, thank you. It's great to be back here AGAIN.
C: Yeah. Last night, I didn't quite a - we had a sort of screwy show last night.
M: Well, it was a hurricane.
C: It was a hurricane.
M: There was a big hurricane.
C: And you were blown away halfway through the show.
But you're back here now.
M: Blown off, yeah.
C: Nicely done.
C: You know, I was talking to you, actually I was talking to you out in the hall
last night about the fact that I see "Kids In The Hall" more now and this is probably
the same experience you'd had.
M: You, too?
A: Absolutely. I'll back him up.
C: It's just on constantly, on Comedy Central.
They show it like, around the clock.
M: Now more than ever.
C: And is that strange for you? I mean, you're just seeing this stuff constantly.
M: No, it's on in the middle of afternoon now in New York City. My kid sees it,
you know, who's a very sophisticated child at 3 1/2. And he says, instead of saying
like "Daddy, you're on TV," he says "Daddy, you're in reruns."
C: He knows about reruns?
M: "Why no residual check?"
"Me want go college."
I just keep practicing.
C: Keep working.
M: Keep batting, 'cause that's the only way you're getting there.
C: That's not true. You've gotta support him.
M: Yeah, I guess.
C: Are you one of those superdads?
A: Obviously.
M: Well, yeah, I try to be.
I mean, I try to be a superdad.
I mean, the first thing you learn as a parent that they are not your friend.
You are their parents. There has to be a distinction.
But I play with him a lot, like at bedtime, before bedtime, we always play blocks.
You know, those cardboard blocks? They had them forever. And we build a house and
stuff. And I get into it, and I get very enthused until it's like, "Wait wait,
don't put that one there. No, No, it's not gonna stand up if you don't put
that one there. All right, put it there if you want. See! See! Fine, bedtime.
No books. No story. Go to bed.
C: No.
M: That's not good.
C: No, that's very good. You're teaching him to be structually sound.
M: Yeah, yeah. He'll be the most paranoid engineer in the world.
C: He'll start wetting himself.
M: Yeah.
C: Do you have a picture of the child?
M: Oh, do you want to see one?
C: Yeah. Let's see a picture of him.
M: I know a lot of people say about kids "all babies are gorgeous," but I think
mine is particularly beautiful. I mean, you know, mostly because of his mom.
But anyway, there he is. That's him.
[Fake picture of his baby]
超ウケてました。(この顔の人は、「クロスビー・ステイルス・アンド・ナッシュのDavid Crosbyだそうで、だから後に出てくるTeach Your Children（彼らのヒット曲）という発言が大受けしたわけです。Thanks Barb for the info!)

C: Well, that's, yeah, take a look at that. That's nice. It's nice.
And you said he is how old now?
M: 3 1/2.
C: 3 1/2. Great. He's gonna be a happy baby.
M: I think so. Teach your children.
The band! I got the band laugh!
C: You got the band laugh.
When you can't get the band laugh, you know you've really screwed up.
Now do you and your wife, are you in general - I have met her - are you
in agreement on how to raise the child?
M: Yeah, on most things.
I think we're both really good parents. And we disagree on some things.
Like we used to be, around the house, it used to be clothing optional.
I mean, if you have a small kid, it doesn't really matter, I thought, you know
"Let's wander around naked. And she said she thought we should stop doing that.
And I said "Why? Is Christopher too old for nudity?" and she said, "No, you are."
C: Oh, you got all sad.
M: I got all sad. But no, it's true, when I walk down the street, and people,
you know, "Hey, it's Mark McKinney from Kids In The - ew."
"Ew! How long ago was that show? Was it a silent show?"
C: Yeah. One of the great golden oldies.
Are you gonna have more kids, do you think?
M: Well, Yes. I think, I mean, I think so.
Although to be honest, my first reaction after watching my wife go through
labor and gave birth was, "I'm gay!"
I didn't want to...
C: Is that what you were shouting in the hospital?
M: "I'm gay! I'm gay!"
But I think I've gone through it.
Now I want to have more kids. Now I want to have too many more kids.
I wanna be like Johnny Applesperm and like, you know - fertilize the world.
You know, the character, Johnny Applesperm.
C: My favorite character, yeah.
M: From Marvel comics.　 C: "He wandered the contry, spreading his seeds."
That's nice.
M: Are there any women in estrus here?
C: No, Johnny Applesperm.
M: Then I'll be on my way - with my sperm.
I'm sorry.
C: We didn't have a chance to thank him.
Now, please.
M: Am I in a deep hole right now?
C: No, you're doing great.
M: Great.
C: No, no. We'll tell you when you get in that big trough.
You play in this movie "Dog Park" - we were talking about dogs earlier with
Jenna Elfman - you play a dog therapist?
M: Yes, I do.
I play a dog therapist, and you know I don't particularly have pets, so to speak.
I mean, I have a car, and technically that's our pet because my son calls our
$4000 junk car "SAABY".
You know? "SAABY". And I say "You don't need a brother. Let's go get an oil change.
Let's take Saaby out."
C: That'll be fun for him.
M: Yeah.
C: Would you have something against real pets?
I mean, why don't you have pets?
M: I don't know. I was thinking about this recently.
It's true. I've never considered getting a pet.
I think it's because my parents were more dog people than they were children people.
I wonder why I'm in Comedy.
C: You've got a lot to work through.
M: No, seroiusly. We once had this dog when I was 14 - a beautiful terrier,
I think my mother liked her, the dog, more than me, because one day,
the dog had his eyeballs dilated. you know we thought he had a concussion
and my mother thought, "Well maybe it's because the new flea collar that we tried.
Come here, Mark." And she took the flea collar and rubbed it in my eye.
And my eyeballs dilated. And she went, "Oh, thank God. Ticker's safe."
Mark, I put something in your bowl.
C: Go ahead and eat that.
M: "Chocolates or whatever."
"What are you looking at?
What are you looking at?"
C: Oh, God.
M: "Look what you did to my breasts."
Oh, God, I hope my parents aren't up late in Ottawa tonight.
C: Tell them to watch.
M: Yeah.
C: Tell them to watch.
M: Mom, I did a tribute to you.
C: Whenever I talk about my mom on the show, she's like "I didn't do that."
M: Yeah.
C: And I'm like, "Yes, you did."
A clip. We have a clip here.
M: Oh, yeah. This is a clip from "Dog Park".
C: Right. Set this up for us.
This is called, "setting up the clip".
M: Ok, just so you get the clip.
I'm a dog psychiatrist.
And I'm counseling a coulple who had a split up.
But they have joint custody of this dog called "Mogly".
So, that's the setup.
C: Ok, let's take a look at this clip from "Dog Park".
[video clip]

Psychiatrist:What sort of activities have you and your new partner been egaging in?
Man: Excuse me, doctor. That seems like kind of a silly question you have to ask.
I thought this was...
P: I think Mogly has seen too many long and physically aggressive sessions of wild sex.
M: What?
P: Yeah, Mogly's been traumatized. It's clear to me.
Sheryl, you have to understand, Mogly doesn't know how very pleasurable
all that stuff can be for you. He only sees the pushing and pulling.
And he hears the shrieking. And he thinks there's trouble.
[clip ends]
C: Is that based on anyone? That's a funny character.
M: Yeah, Lorne Michaels.
C: Stop that.
M: I don't know.
C: Stop doing that.
M: I know I shouldn't.
C: That looks very funny "Dog Park" opens next Friday, and starting next month,
you're in the play "Fuddy Meers".
M: At Manhattan Theater club. It's a crazy, great play by David Linsay-Abaire,
directed by David Pertarca. Come see, won't ya?
C: Man, you're like a robot. Mark, thank you very much for coming.
M: Thank you.
C: Good to have you here. Good luck with that.
Mark McKinney, everybody.
We'll take a break.
We'll come back. Indigenous will perform.
