Kevin Pollak | Really? no, Really?
Ойын-сауық
Listen to the Show on all Podcast Apps "Really? no, Really?" www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-r...
This absolutely gob smacked Peter; Jason casually mentioned he was originally cast as Lt. Sam Weinberg in Rob Reiner’s Oscar nominated film, A Few Good Men. George Costanza alongside Jack Nicholson and Tom Cruise? Really, no really!
So how did actor, comedian, impressionist, author, director, and podcast host Kevin Pollak nab the memorable Lt. Weinberg role…which ended up boosting his already growing credits? We needed to find out.
So, we reached out to Kevin who has appeared in over 80 films; including the cult classic - The Usual Suspects as Todd Hockney and played Phillip Green in Martin Scorsese's Casino. Recently Pollak was a regular cast member on Amazon’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. He’s also a podcast pioneer hosting such classics as, Kevin Pollak's Chat Show, Talkin Walkin where he spoke only as Christopher Walken and most recently My Mrs. Maisel Pod.

Kevin will correct anybody who spells his name Pollack it's Pollak. He'd mention it on his podcasts each time. God bless
Kevin Pollack is so likable…. Incredibly talented… always a joy to learn more about him… Thanks for having him on.
Nothing but love for Kevin Pollock he's a tremendous actor as well as just a hell of a good man❤🎉
I miss Chat Show. His 1st conversation with Christopher Guest (cause he actually did two) was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

I liked the John Larroquette episode, which is no longer on KZread, for unknown reasons.

I love the Chat Show. My fave is the Bill Hader interview, especially the story about the almost Casey Casem sketch on SNL. Hysterical!!
I loved Kevin's chat show! Please reboot it!!
I could listen to these talented guys talk all day long. Kevin is such an interesting guest too. Brilliant podcast 👍🏻👍🏻
Boy, towards the end, Jason keeps cutting Peter off, and Peter is trying to hide his aggravation. A true friendship. Kevin Pollak is always awesome.

Seriously, Jason needs to get on some kind of ADHD medication
Kevin looks extremely healthy! Imagine coming into business with Dana Carvey as your buddy. That had to be an enormous influence.
I have known George and Kevin for so long in Seinfeld and Kevin's podcast that when the're together its like listening to family 👪
Kevin Pollack Chat Show, with the host, Chat Show, is missed.
I love when comedians act in serious roles.
Pollack does these short little snips of an impression that are other wordly. I also am so happy to see he's alive. I thought he had passed. ( thanks for that, you tube).
I remember watching Morton and Hayes. That was one of those shows where I knew it would be too good to last.
Enjoying the pod fella's, great chat with KP.
Jason and Peter, glad you started a channel. Welcome to the podcasting world. Look forward to more episodes.
crazy jack impersonation haha. love you guys
Glad to see Kevin, he's looking great! Was a fan of KPCS for many years.
I just went down a Kevin Pollak / Chris Guest / Ricky Gervais rabbit hole.
Riccohet!! With Denzel and John Lithgow!!!

Just saw that for the first time two months ago! It was pretty good. A few corny things here and there but entertaining.
Jason, searching for himself, not realizing what a warming souls he is towards others, it so interesting
Great guest and actor and he will always be Rool from Willow to me! Love the podcast and love that its different things other than interviewing celebrities and find this a very fun and yet intelligent podcast with some intelligent topics. Ty Jason ( Georgie boy) and Peter!!
kevin does a great impersonation of a guy doing a podcast from his bedroom
Chat show was an OG podcast
Kevin career is so awesome.
Jason's sincere laugh is best things ever. Hated Seinfeld, loving Jason now.
Sweet, loveable guys.
Good stuff.
Is Kevin Pollak and Eugene Levy had a baby it would look like the guy at the end of this podcast😊
Does Jason dye what little hair he has. Because it's still dark. It might blend in better if it was lighter

With all his money you would think 🤔 someone professional in 💇 hair would do like you just commented on. Maybe waves and white.
Peter is obviously annoyed by Jason constantly interrupting and dominating the interview

I would be too
Jason, either respect you have a partner and stop interrupting him, or just go solo.
Polak. Is that the country or the fish?
McKellan.
For God's sake Jason just ask a question, you don't have to explain it, 😅
If you are not creating, you might be trying to pay rent and not go bankrupt.
Steven Crowder does really good impersonations.

I cant help wonder: Peter, are u suffering from ADHD ? I am not gonna log out from your video because Jason is setting up a question.
TOTALLY...unwatchable, because the two of you just talk all OVER each other as the guest merely listens.
Just some feedback. If this podcast is going to go into awesome territory and get way more subscribers, the guy (Not jason) needs to tone it down and stop trying to dominate the show. We are here to primarily hear Jason and yes, the famous guest.

Jason is always about a genius contrast team mate.
Okay, so what is the purpose of the bell? It sounds like something out of a corporate team building event or one of those games celebrities are forced to play on a morning show.
