Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
But it sits me down and gives me a premise
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:52:18.360
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
to work with communically.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:52:23.840
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
And then you just riff with it.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:52:25.480
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Yeah, it's fun.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:52:26.320
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
It's been a hoot.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:52:27.920
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
So from the acting perspective,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:52:29.200
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
a lot of people like Daniel Day Lewis
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:52:31.160
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
will see acting just like as you described,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:52:34.160
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
which is you have your roles,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:52:36.880
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
you embrace those roles, and then you disappear.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:52:39.000
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
You don't do podcasts.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:52:40.840
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
You don't do any of that kind of stuff.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:52:44.160
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Your art is your art.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:52:45.920
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
So is that part of you feels that way?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:52:47.600
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
I think so.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:52:51.520
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Is that the actor side of you?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:52:53.200
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Yeah.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:52:54.360
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Anytime I get to do something
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:52:55.320
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
that I don't get a chance to do much of
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:52:56.720
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
or something that people haven't seen me do much of
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:53:00.000
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
or that I've done on some scale that hasn't been very wide
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:53:03.080
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
and not a lot of people have seen it,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:53:06.320
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
that's the stuff that I get really excited about.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:53:08.000
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
I don't know why I'm,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:53:12.200
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
I don't know why necessarily.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:53:14.840
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
I haven't answered that question yet in my life,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:53:17.440
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
like what it is about being an actor that I love so much
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:53:19.120
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
because it's not like I don't like to,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:53:22.920
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
it's not like I'm trying to get away from myself
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:53:25.280
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
and play other characters and stuff and not be myself.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:53:27.240
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
But it is, it has always been fun
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:53:31.520
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
to just be other people and escape.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:53:33.520
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Yeah, is there some aspect to the impressions
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:53:37.680
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
where you become that person?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:53:39.720
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Is that like, what's that like to,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:53:42.880
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
I suppose acting is a full on version of that.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:53:45.960
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
You really at its best become the character.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:53:48.880
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Is there some fun in that?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:53:54.080
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Yeah, absolutely.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:53:55.800
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
If you can play a character for long enough
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:53:56.960
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
and then jump out of it, that's a lot of fun.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:54:01.120
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Like I did this movie like four or five years ago
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:54:05.720
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
called The Inside Game about the NBA gambling scandal
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:54:08.680
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
that there's a Netflix documentary about it right now.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:54:12.680
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
And that character, I played Jimmy Batista,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:54:15.920
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Baba the sheep, who's this guy who was this bookie
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:54:21.760
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
and rah, rah, rah, and it's a very,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:54:26.600
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
he's, there's a lot going on with him.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:54:28.680
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
He's running numbers with the mob and stuff
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:54:30.920
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
and there's a lot of money changing hands.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:54:34.440
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
That character was so, I got to be,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:54:36.680
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
get so deep into that character
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:54:39.520
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
that coming out of it was a little odd.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:54:41.120
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Or as weird as this sounds,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:54:43.800
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
the three stooges was hard for me to,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:54:46.480
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
I found that I had some of Curly's mannerisms
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:54:48.360
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
just automatically, I could not stop them
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:54:52.960
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
when people, when I would talk to people,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:54:55.920
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
they would come, I wasn't, I'm not doing it on purpose.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:54:58.240
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
I don't want to do that.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:55:01.480
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Like I'm ready to shed it
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:55:02.320
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
because I've been working on it
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:55:04.480
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
for months and months at that point
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:55:07.040
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
as far as getting the thing down
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:55:09.000
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
and then you got to shoot.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:55:10.560
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
And then for me, it's always,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:55:12.480
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
I always want to change the stuff I did the day before.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:55:14.480
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
I'm like that.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:55:17.200
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Or I'm like, I could have done it better
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:55:18.280
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
and this and that.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:55:19.680
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
And that stayed with you,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:55:20.520
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
that character stayed with you a little bit.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:55:22.360
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Totally, yeah.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:55:23.560
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
I just feel like with actors,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:55:24.600
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
sometimes when you listen to interviews,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:55:27.000
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
they have spent so much time
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:55:29.240
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
sort of living inside other characters
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:55:31.760
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
that they almost don't have a depth
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:55:34.520
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
of personality themselves, like a depth.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:55:37.600
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Like I don't mean that as a negative thing.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:55:40.400
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
It's just like, it feels like the art form at its best
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:55:42.120
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
is pretending to be other people.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:55:44.440
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
And even pretending sounds negative,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:55:46.760
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
but like bringing certain characters to life.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:55:49.160
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Yeah, yeah, embodying.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:55:52.280
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
A weird thing happened while we were doing Stooges
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:55:55.040
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
because you've got a very heavy blueprint.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:55:57.280
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
We're following this very clear blueprint
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:55:59.760
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
that the Stooges left for everybody.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:56:02.240
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
And for Stooge fans and people enjoying the movie,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:56:04.920
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
it's got to be this.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:56:07.720
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
You take your toolbox that you're used to bring
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:56:08.720
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
into a comedy movie, you leave it behind.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:56:11.160
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
The only tools I'm bringing are the ones that he used.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:56:14.480
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
And a weird thing started happening
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:56:16.560
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
where I would, I always saw the whole thing happening
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:56:18.360
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
with the real Stooges in black and white.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:56:21.960
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
So if we're about to shoot a scene,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:56:24.600
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
I would just think about,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:56:26.440
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
I mean, aside from all the other preparation,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#00:56:28.520
