Sometimes, when I look back through the archives of my old web television show, I feel a real sense of sadness. I’m often seeing friends who have since passed away. Val Kilmer was one of them. Val would often come up to my house to do the web show. I think he was genuinely intrigued by what we were doing — the technology, the independence, and the idea that we were finding a way to make media on our own, outside the mainstream system. He was a forward-thinking artist, a true original, and a friend.

I’ve been feeling heavy today and thinking about the Reiner family. I wanted to share this clip from my interview with Carl Reiner because it captures something I’ll always treasure. Just before we went live — while the opening titles were playing — I sat down across from Carl, casually took off my shoes as if getting comfortable, then opened a box and pulled out an identical pair and put them on. It was completely absurd, very subtle, and meant only for him. The audience never saw it — Carl was the only one who witnessed this ridiculous little moment. He looked genuinely puzzled for a beat, trying to process what he’d just seen, and then we were live! As you see in this clip he laughed and then said I was either a genius or an idiot. Coming from Carl Reiner, I’ll take either. Carl had a rare gift for recognizing and appreciating silliness in its purest form. In light of recent heartbreaking news, I send my deepest condolences and love to his family. May the laughter he gave the world continue to bring some comfort during an unimaginably difficult time.

n the early 2000s, I built a TV studio in my living room in Los Angeles and started inviting friends and people I admired — comedians, actors, TV personalities — to come hang out and do a “talk show.” Podcasting didn’t exist yet, so no one really knew what I was talking about. They were basically just coming over to see what I was up to. One night I invited Carson Daly, who had always been great to me back in my MTV days. What he didn’t know was that I’d also invited my friend Andrew Dice Clay. The result was a completely ridiculous two-hour show that just went on and on. This is the first time they ever met.

People worry that AI is going to replace art because you can make some garbage action movie without having to use all the traditional ways of making a garbage action movie. I just think it’s going to evolve things. People will start to see that modern movies are often actually kind of corny. AI or not. And then maybe people will get to back to telling real stories. Get away from some of the storytelling techniques that have consumed film over the last 20 years. Anyway, here’s my new movie I made it this morning. #Ai
