One of my favorite films. Steve Martin reflects on his time with John Candy, and the cut footage from the train station scene in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. The entire ending scene was cut short and changed to what we see now —which Martin couldn't understand why, as Candy wasn't acting, nothing which could come from a script, but being himself.

Ryan Reynolds says when John Candy died they shut down the 405 and cops saluted his funeral procession from every exit "Comedians are canonized after they die, unlike any other profession. When John Candy died, they closed the 405" "The cops sat at every exit and saluted as his funeral procession went past. It's just a different thing that happens with them, because it's easy to underappreciate them" "When he died there were journalists that said all kinds of brutal stuff. And then in time, as it inexorably marched forward, he became a saint. And now he's a place and a feeling that we get to visit"

Planes, Trains and Automobiles was released OTD in 1987. Steve Martin's epic car rental tirade with the brilliant Edie McClurg drops 19 'F' bombs in just 60 seconds. The movie would've easily been a PG were it not for this scene. Thank you, John Hughes, wherever you are.

Remembering John Hughes on his 76th birthday! John Hughes was known for staging improvisational moments for his actors in order to capture a genuine reaction. In this scene in "Planes, Trains & Automobiles" (1987) since he was not satisfied with the Owen scene introductions after several takes, he privately instructed Dylan Baker (Owen) to wipe spit in his right hand just before shaking hands with Neil Page. Steve Martin was not expecting this, thus his disgusted reaction to shaking Baker's saliva slathered hand. The film crew reportedly exploded in laughter as Martin ran off to wash his hands immediately following the encounter. Hughes got the reaction he needed and the footage was kept in the film.

It's the great John Candy's birthday so here's a fun story: The night before they filmed this scene from SPLASH, producer Brian Grazer said that John Candy had gone out to party with Jack Nicholson until 5AM the night before, immediately came to set after to film the racquetball scene, and Candy played the character how he really felt: Extremely hungover. Grazer said, "The night with Nicholson, I think he overdid it, so he literally ran into the ball that hit him in the head." Amazing.

John Krasinski says he and Steve Carell needed 17 takes just to speak while filming Steve’s final scene on The Office "When Steve left, that was actually the last scene of Steve’s last day, and I didn’t realize that until later" "So I go in to do this scene, and it just hit me. You were in the room with Steve, and he had been really quiet all day, very sweet but very quiet. I think we knew that this was it" "We rolled, and I remember the director telling me it was 17 takes before we got one word out. There were a lot of retouches. I think that scene took like four and a half hours"

Steve Harvey got a shocking call on his show, and went crazy when he realizes who it is Steve Harvey isn’t one for surprises, but his staff didn’t care. On his birthday, Harvey got a surprise he never expected. A phone call that would stop him cold. When he was 26-years-old, Steve didn’t have anything. But there was one couple in Cleveland, Ohio, that took a chance on Steve. Steve said he has been looking for the couple for years but could not find them. Well, that couple was on the phone. Steve immediately tears up. “These people owned a furniture store in Cleveland. And they took me in and gave me my first contract with my little carpet cleaning company.” And if that wasn’t enough, the couple then let him travel to do stand-up comedy shows using their travel agency account. Watching Steve’s emotional response to their call, you can tell how much they changed his life.

You don't want to miss this deleted Star Wars scene. 👀 Before A New Hope begins, Luke reunites with his best friend Biggs Darklighter at Tosche Station in a scene that was ultimately cut from the final film. It gives Luke far more motivation to leave Tatooine and makes Biggs' fate later in the movie even more emotional. Do you think this scene should have stayed in the movie?

John Candy improv'd this entire speech from HOME ALONE (1990) on the spot because his character "Gus Polinski" was a last minute addition to the film. Candy filmed all of his scenes in one 24 hour crunch, mainly as a favor to writer/producer John Hughes whom he had worked with twice before on two other films, and because the budget at that point couldn't afford him. Candy reportedly made only $414 for the role. When HOME ALONE director Chris Columbus worked with Candy again on the film ONLY THE LONELY one year later, he said Candy would sometimes joke about how much he earned versus how much the film grossed, which was almost $500,000 WW.

It has been now confirmed that Greg Biffle has died in a plane crash along with his family earlier today. I only met him briefly as we were getting coffee at an airfield that was set up for Hurricane Helene relief operations about a year ago now. He was out there helping those in need, in person, with his own aircraft. We spoke about what we had been seeing on the ground during relief operations and went our own way. He was completely down to earth and if you didn't know who he was would have just assumed he was like all the other volunteers that were there that day and not a famous wealthy man which says a lot about who he really was. We lost a great American today. RIP to Greg and his family 🇺🇸 #GregBiffle

The Gaudreau family is back in South Jersey after the tribute to Johnny at the Olympics when the men’s hockey team won the gold medal “They were saying they played for John. It was just so moving and touching. It was hard for Guy and myself and Meredith. When they brought the kids on the ice, it was so emotional and moving. It was so wonderful that they would have that much respect for Johnny and Matty” “There’s a lot of emotions involved. Especially when you know your son worked extremely hard to be there, and probably would have been there, if he was still here. You kind of miss out on that.” “When my granddaughter and grandson went out, I cried, but I was happy that the world would recognize them as part of John. And if you look at them, they look like John! It was a really special thing.” The Gaudreau family is honoring the memory of their sons with their second annual 5K in Sewell, NJ on May 16

While filming Splash (1984), John Candy once arrived late to the set and delayed filming, which was unusual for the actor, who was known for being professional. According to Ron Howard, Candy profusely apologized when he arrived, and Howard told him it was fine and that they would begin shooting. Candy then revealed that he had not slept and was actually drunk. The night before, he had gone to a bar where he encountered Jack Nicholson, who recognized him and proceeded to buy him drinks throughout the night. Candy had told Nicholson, "But I've got to go shoot." Nicholson simply replied, "You're going to be all right, kid. Don't worry about it." Candy then went on to film his scene on the racquetball court, where he was hit by the ball, and managed to get it right in just three takes.

The Epstein documents mentioned one of the worst child traffickers next to Epstein himself, that man's name is João Teixeira de Faria, or "John of God." John of God was a fraudulent "spiritual healer" and one of Oprah's mentors. Isaac Kappy revealed that Oprah had a school in Africa that was allegedly involved in child trafficking. Many lawsuits have came out of Oprah's school for sexual abuse and other disturbing allegations. Oprah was also close to Harvey Weinstein and every other known sexual abuser and numerous people mentioned in the Epstein files, but John of God was the worst of them all. John of God would keep children captive in an underground location and ra*e these children for years and sell the babies and the organs on the black market. John of God would then usually "discard" the women after they were no longer "useful." He faced of 600 allegations of ra*e, torture, sexual abuse, and murd*r. He was finally sentenced to 99 years in prison. How deeply connected is Oprah in this global elite child trafficking ring and how many more "John of Gods" are still out there?

The unusual way Steve Jobs ran board meetings and why: “Every company says they want to arrive at the truth. Most of them are full of shit.” “Steve Jobs wasn’t.” “What most companies have is people who are telling the leader what the leader wants to hear, and the leader thinks because they're hearing what they want to hear, that they've got this really insightful group.” “But Steve had a very different approach to get insight. He understood what he was trying to do. He understood at an intuitive level there's no upside in being wrong. As soon as he realized he was wrong, he would change quickly.” “But here's the thing that most people don't know, and that is that Pixar was a public company for ten years, starting in '95 when we went public until ten years later when we were acquired by Disney. In that ten-year period, Steve fired two members of the board of directors at Pixar. The reason he fired them was that they never disagreed with him and he said, "If they don't disagree with me, then they aren't bringing any value to the company." “That's an unusual way of thinking, and he really believed that.” “Our board meetings were lively, they were loud, and they were thrilling. “They were arenas of disagreement.” “The people on the board had very strong opinions and did not agree and Steve loved that.” “A lot of executive say they want that, but Steve really meant it.”

Steve Jobs: “There’s a tremendous amount of craftsmanship between a great idea and a great product” Steve recounts: “One of the things that really hurt Apple was, after I left, John Sculley got a very serious disease. And that disease—I’ve seen other people get it too—is the disease of thinking that a really great idea is 90% of the work.” But that’s never the case. As Steve explains, a product idea never turns out as originally conceived because you learn a lot from the details of building it, and there are always tradeoffs you have to make. “There’s a tremendous amount of craftsmanship between a great idea and a great product… and it’s that process that is the magic.” He compares a team working hard on something they’re passionate about to a rock tumbler: “It's through the team--through a group of incredibly talented people--bumping up against each other, having arguments, having fights sometimes, making some noise, and working together... they polish each other and polish the ideas. And what comes out are these really beautiful stones.”
