Friday August 8 with guest Steve Oedekerk.

Enjoy!

-----------------------

8/8 Steve Oedekerk

Nelson: It's Friday, and as usual, we have a really cool celebrity chat
lined up to kick off your weekend.

Nelson: Welcome to Nelson's World, one and all! I'm Nelson, your host.
And today I'm going to introduce you to a major Hollywood player and a
guy who is as nice as he is talented. Tonight you're going to get to
meet writer/director Steve Oedekerk.

Nelson: He's currently promoting his new film "Nothing to Lose" which he
has written and directed, and he even has a cameo in the film as a
security guard.

Nelson: Have any of you folks seen it yet? What do you think?

Nelson: Steve of course, is well known for his writing of the "Nutty
Professor" remake and "Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls." He's got a
strong internet presence and some pretty devoted fans, especially of his
early work (1991) "High Strung."

Victoria: Yes, Isaw Nothing to Lose. Extremely funny stuff!

Nelson: Victoria, welcome back to Nelson's World. Nice to have you
again. That'll make the chat with Steve even more fun for you. One of
our Nelson's World movie spies saw it too, and really flipped for it.
But before meeting Steve, let's take a look at what stories Hollywood is
buzzing about today.

Nelson: There is a lot of controversy going on now that a journalist has
claimed that it was Sylvester Stallone who gave her the tip that exposed
Arnie Schwarzenegger's dad as a Nazi Party member.

Nelson: Stallone, the journalist says, learned of the Schwarzenegger
family secret during his brief marriage to Brigitte Nielsen, who had
once dated Arnie. Stallone is denying all charges.

pb: There goes Planet Hollywood... how sad

Nelson: LOL. Maybe Frank and Kathie Lee Gifford should consider opening
a themed restaurant, pb. That is, if they can survive the latest debacle
about to bare itself.

Nelson: The former flight attendant whose alleged hotel room trist with
Frank was splashed all over the tabloids, is going to be seen nude in
the November issue of Playboy. It's been rumored that she received
"somewhere in the low six-figures" to strut her stuff for Hef's cameras,
and we'll get to judge for ourselves, just what Frank saw in her. Globe
magazine reported a couple of weeks ago that there is some concern in
the Gifford household that the "other woman" was pregnant with Frank's
love-child.

Nelson: Don't worry Kathie Lee! Globe now reports she suffered a
miscarriage right after the demanding Playboy photo shoot. I've heard
those portrait sittings can be grueling.

Terry: I thought Frank had a vasectomy though?

Nelson: Hmmmm. We'll have to put the Nelson's World spies on the case.
Any ideas how to check it out? Or who would want to?

Nelson: Woody Harrelson, you might've heard, is putting up a half
million dollars to bail a suspected pot-grower out of jail.

Nelson: It seems that police found thousands of pot plants all over this
Los Angeles fellow's Los Angeles home. And Woody will do whatever it
takes to make sure he gets out of jail.

Nelson: Do you think Woody Harrelson is going overboard with his
pro-marijuana campaign? Do you suppose it's just an extra bid for
publicity in a town where we feel like we've seen every gimmick there
is?

Sherry: No, I think Woody is sincere. This guy suffers from cancer...

Nelson: If that's true, maybe we should all pass the hat.

Nelson: And finally, it takes more than one beautiful woman to replace a
"Baywatch" babe like Pamela Lee. It actually takes three.

Nelson: Carmen Electra, Kelly Packard and Marliece Andrada have all
turned up to appear on the new season of the internationally popular
show. David Hasselhoff was quoted as saying that there shouldn't just be
one "single sensation." Poor David, he should know all about that.

Nelson: I wonder if Steve Oedekerk watches "Baywatch." That would
actually be a pretty good inspiration for comedy I think.

Nelson: Let's bring this multi-faceted, multi-talented guy into the
Nelson's World studio and see what he's made of.

Nelson: Welcome to Nelson's World, Steve. I've given you an immense
buildup, you're just going to have to live up to it.

SteveO: Back off, and leave me alone.

Nelson: Too much caffeine. That's all right, he's armed with water and
ready for bear.

SteveO: Nice to be here.

Nelson: I understand you had to travel quite a ways to come to Los
Angeles. How come you don't live right here in Tinseltown where all the
action is...

SteveO: Let me think....it's crummy up here! LOL

Nelson: Are you happier out in the burbs or are you somewhere out in
nature?

SteveO: I like being out where people don't understand our business.
When I just finished directing "Ace Ventura II" and a neighbor came over
to my house and asked if while directing the movie, I ever saw Jim
Carrey.

SteveO: And I responded, "yeah, a couple times" 'cuz I really try and
support...all my neighbors, no one understands what I do.

Nelson: But these are the people that are going to be there with a
weed-wacker when you need it Steve.

SteveO: That's it, man. That is exactly right. I have leafblowers
a-plenty.

Nelson: Do you get into that whole sort of suburban lifestyle? Do you do
your own yard work?

SteveO: LOL. I even hire someone to play me. That's how much I don't
get into it.

Nelson: Do you maintain a residence here in town?

SteveO: No. I'm down there. Live in a little community, San Juan
Capistrano.

Nelson: Exactly when do the swallows return? I'm not quite clear. 

SteveO: The swallows actually come to your house, they really do go to
San Juan Capistrano and encompass your house and build these mud nests.
And it's illegal to take down the mud nests. So, I've broken the law on
numerous occasions.

Nelson: It just reminds me for some reason of one of our upcoming
guests, sex therapist, Dr. Susan Block. She has 10 commandments of
lovemaking. The tenth being "thou shalt swallow."

SteveO: LOL

Nelson: That would not be a legal problem for her....

SteveO: No, I wouldn't think so. And all the better, if you're doing it
in a big mud nest.

Nelson: Send in all your questions and comments for Steve Oedekerk. They
will be passed through our screener and onto the worldwide audience.

Nelson: Just keep a few things in mind..... Keep it clean, to the point,
and submit as often as possible. We'll try and accomodate you.

Nelson: You're pretty internet-savvy, aren't you Steve...

SteveO: Oh, yes. I am a expert about the entire internet.

Nelson: Who got you into it?

SteveO: It's a hobby. CGI and computers are a hobby of mine, and years
ago when the first Video Toaster was available, that's when I got
hooked. And then when the web first came up, I got very excited about
what would be possible one day, as I still am.

Nelson: And here's a graphic from your website, www.steveoedekerk.com

Nelson: I'm not quite sure I can detect the likeness...but it's
colorful.

SteveO: LOL

Nelson: How have you been faring with your hits?

SteveO: CGI STEVE is the computer version of me. And he's even more
annoying than myself.

Nelson: Did he write the music for that website?

SteveO: LOL. The music has a wonderful way of just not ending. 

SteveO: If you listen to the music long enough, you will look exactly
like this picture of CGI STEVE

Nelson: I think I got out JUST in time. 

Victoria: Why do I always read that writers get no respect in Hollywood?

SteveO: They don't. But there's a good reason. It's not right, but the
reason is everyone wants to believe that the people on the screen, be it
tv or film, are ad libbing everything. Because you want to escape, and
you want to believe you're really watching a story. So, every time a
film is great, no one thinks "Oh, some guy wrote it in a little room,
drinking Diet Cokes all day. And then my favorite actor read those words
and acted out those words." They want to believe that their favorite
stars just came up with the whole thing.

Nelson: We'll talk about those "Nutty Professor" dining room scenes
later...

Biltmore: I was just talking with a friend about the power structure in
Hollywood. Some people say that writers have lots of power or that it's
the fast train to acting, while others say writers are low on the totem
pole. Which is it? and why?

SteveO: That's a good question.

Nelson: Where exactly do you reside on the totempole Steve?

SteveO: LOL. I'm in the big gigantic power position!

SteveO: But, in reality, I would say it's low man on the totempole.
However, like all things in show business, if you do enough work that
people really respond to, it can turn into a really powerful position.

SteveO: Of moving into directing, acting, although moving into acting
from writing is rare.

Nelson: Was your time as a writer on "In Living Color" where you were
able to hone your comedy writing skills?

SteveO: Actually, the reason I got the job at "In LIving Color" was to
get the credit because at that time, I was planning and actively making
independent films. So, for me, it was a great tool to get a credit that
could lead to more investors for my movies. But, as it turned out,
that's where Jim and I did a lot of writing together, and where we wrote
Ace Ventura together. We would work 18 hours a day on "In Living Color",
from midnight until 4 in the morning we would work on Ace Ventura, and
on the drive home every day, I was finishing "Nothing to Lose" in a tape
recorder. And that was four years ago.

Nelson: So do you still have a half a dozen projcets in your head right
now?

SteveO: More than that. And it drives me crazy. I feel like that scene
in "Phenomenon" when John Travolta was getting too many ideas and it was
driving him nuts.

Nelson: Let's talk about "Nothing to Lose." Everybody's been wondering
how Martin Lawrence was to work with since he has some pretty
well-known....shall we call them "behavioral problems"???

SteveO: LOL

Nelson: How was the shoot?

SteveO: Funny, I didn't hear about any of those. LOL

Nelson: LOL. Did it affect your job on the set?

SteveO: Martin Lawrence is the easiest guy to work with I've ever met.
It sounds like I'm making it up because of all the news stories, but
it's completely true. The Ventura Blvd. incident actually happened in
the middle of my movie, so there was a two-day period when I didn't know
what was going on, or if we'd even be continuing. Then he was back, two
days later, and everything was great.

Nelson: And I understand that Tim Robbins was actually a surprise to
you...his desire to play the other role in the film.

SteveO: [nods] Yes. I had cast Martin, and Tim had read the script, and
flew out from New York. We met, and he was extremely passionate about
the character and the story. And the more I pictured it, I loved the
idea of these two guys getting shoved together that had absolutely no
business being in the same room with each other.

Nelson: Let's hear from some of the filmgoers.

Sally: How do you feel watching your finish projects on the "big
screen?"

SteveO: It's great. Not just on the big screen, but with a crowd.
Because, when you're making a comedy, much like when I was doing
standup, it's all about how much are people going to laugh, and how good
a time are they going to have. That's really what is exciting for me.

Gozzamer: For Steve: Where did you get the idea for your hilarious 3-arm
bit for your stand-up routine?

SteveO: LOL. The first time I did that bit, I thought it'll be just my
luck that this will kill and I'll be stuck putting this jacket on for
five years, and that's exactly what happened.

SteveO: And, now I'll answer the question. I thought it up like a lot of
ideas I get where I just pictured it in my head one day, this guy
dancing with a thousand arms. And then I didn't even really have a
reference point, but I just thought this has to be done in front of a
crowd.

Nelson: Where was the first place you tried it out?

SteveO: Laugh Stop at Newport Beach.

Nelson: I assume it went over well...

SteveO: Yeah, unfortunately, it killed, and then I was stuck wearing
this jacket. And, if I didn't do the bit, club owners and the audience
that knew my act would freak out. And, give me heck for not doing the
jacket bit, or the three armed bit....

Nelson: Did you make a lot of grueling stops on your way to success
while doing stand-up?

SteveO: Absolutely. I opened for a punk rock band once. This was back
when punk rock was in its total heyday. The Blue Mohawks, the whole bit.
And, I opened up for this band. When they announced my name, the boo was
so loud I actually thought it was great.

SteveO: It was the greatest loud booing I had ever heard.

Nelson: There's no boo like a good LOUD boo.

SteveO: Exactly. Then, I got out on the stage, and not only are they
screaming obscenities at me, but they were actually throwing themselves,
they were lifting guys up and throwing themselves in the air....

SteveO: So I was getting flipped off by people midair.

Nelson: You kinda get a tear in your eye when you talk about those salad
days, Steve....

SteveO: LOL. I ... it's sort of sick that I seem to enjoy it, isn't it?

Nelson: I heard you even did stand-up comedy at wedding receptions...

SteveO: You know, back when I started, you work anything. Anything that
will pay money. So, one time, I was hired by a Sizzler restaurant. I
walked in and they said "Go ahead." And there was no stage, the
customers were in restaurant cubicles, it was the oddest thing.

SteveO: But I killed, and a guy actually passed an entire baked potato
through his nose.

Nelson: You've gotta write about that in the next script. 

Victoria: Do you submit your scripts to studios, agents, actors, or
directors?

SteveO: When I first started, an agent submitted "Nothing to Lose" to
the studios. Now it's much easier and everyone just calls.

pb: Which studio gives "good" notes? Which studio is the worst with
notes?

SteveO: Ah....time for me to be POLITICAL. Honestly, it's not as much
the studio as the executive. See how cleverly I got out of that?

SteveO: A smart executive doesn't try and solve the problems of a
script. They bring up problems they had with the script, and allow the
writer to solve the problem, because that's the only person that knows
how to do it. Bad executives dictate what should happen in the script,
and the scripts always get first.

SteveO: A little rule of thumb that no one follows in Hollywood.

Nelson: Now that you know that, if you were to encounter a "bad
executive" at this stage in your career, how would you be likely to
handle it?

SteveO: Even when I started out, I've never executed a note that I
didn't think would make the script better. There were definitely times
when they said this has to change, it's coming from the top, and I said,
I'm not the guy. Because, if I do it, the script will get worse. And,
I'm not going to turn in a script if it's not getting better.
Surprisingly, they respond great. Because you're showing strength.

Flexoid: Steve, where do you do most of your writing? DO you use
computer or handwrite?

SteveO: Computer. Used to write by hand, had to wean myself on to the
computer, and now I could not live without it.

Nelson: Are you a big re-writer? 

SteveO: Yes. I love to rewrite, and that's the benefit you can get from
note readings. If you're not going to follow bad advice, they're a great
opportunity to get good advice. So, rewriting can do nothing but make a
script better, if the writer's totally in charge.

Nelson: How much of the original material from the "Ace Ventura" scripts
was kept in the film?

SteveO: Almost all of it. Jim, likes to collaborate usually the night
before. You tend to add a lot of ideas, but you shoot everything and
decide what to keep or lose in the cutting.

Gato: Steve, how did you feel about the Ace Sequel?

SteveO: I felt squishy...I don't know how to answer that question.

Nelson: We'll be talking more about sequels with Steve Oedekerk, as
there are plans for a follow-up to the immensely successful (if you'll
pardon the pun) "Nutty Professor"

Nelson: But I can't let another minute pass without engaging Steve in a
lightning round of................

Nelson: ...........DYING TO KNOW!

Nelson: Steve, this is where you must answer 10 short questions with 10
short honest answers. No re-writes permitted.

SteveO: LOL

Nelson: 1) Name a sport you wish you could play better.

SteveO: Danish meatloaf.

Nelson: LOL

Nelson: 2) What was the name of your first pet?

SteveO: Danish meatloaf.

Nelson: Shall we skip right to 10? I'm gonna go out on a limb and try
one more.

Nelson: 3) What's your middle name?

SteveO: Oh, don't tempt me so! How can I not say it!

SteveO: Frank. Danish Meatloaf.

Nelson: LOL. I will throw my first Nelson's World tantrum if this game
falls apart!!!

Nelson: 4) Are your socks matching right now?

SteveO: No, one has a hole.

Nelson: 5) What do you do when you can't sleep?

SteveO: Swim

Nelson: 6) Who told you the facts of life?

SteveO: A really filthy old man. LOL

Nelson: Charming! LOL

SteveO: There's a nice visual for ya.

Nelson: Were you an altar boy?

SteveO: Yes!

Nelson: I thought so.

Nelson: 7) Do you clean your own house?

SteveO: I have my two year old child do it.

Nelson: I'm gonna call you Kathie Lee.

Nelson: 8) What is your favorite hotel in Las Vegas?

SteveO: The Mirage!

Nelson: 9) What kind of watch do you wear?

SteveO: None.

Nelson: 10) Who's the hottest actress in Hollywood?

SteveO: Danish Meatloaf. LOL

Nelson: A frustrating yet riotous round of Dying to Know!!!

SteveO: I would call it "enlightening."

Nelson: I would call it Danish Meatloaf.

Nelson: Is that something that's traditionally served at Thanksgiving
dinner?

SteveO: LOL. Yeah, in Spain.

Nelson: I just thought maybe your own personal dinner scenes might've
had some influence on those extremely memorable moments from "The Nutty
Professor"

SteveO: Tom Shadyac, the director, had an idea that Eddie should play
his whole family. And, literally a minute later, I said "get out of the
room, I want to write this now."

SteveO: And I wrote that scene in about five minutes. And, of course,
later on, Eddie added some fantastic moments with performance and ad
libs.

Nelson: Many of us were surprised and dismayed that he didn't receive an
Academy Award nomination. Do you think there's a bias against comedy?

SteveO: Absolutely. I was also surprised. I think that you can't win an
Academy Award if at one point in your performance you don't weep like a
madman and scream out to God.

Nelson: I thought maybe you were going to say the Academy had something
against flatulence.

SteveO: LOL. That's probably true.... but they've all done it!

Nelson: LOL. Not in Nelson's World, they haven't.

SteveO: LOL

Nelson: Seriously, what do you think it will take for the Academy to
give comedy respect?

SteveO: Well, maybe one day it'll happen. But, when you take a
performance like Eddie did, and it's not acknowledged, it just might be
the rules of the way the game is played.

Nelson: And yet, when a "serious" actor does the least little bit of
comedy, the critics hail it as brilliant, and acknowledge that comedy is
the most difficult kind of performing.

SteveO: Critics don't seem to have a good tap on comedy.

SteveO: Uniformly, they agreed that Ace Ventura and Jim Carrey were
horrifically unfunny. And, when it's that stilted on something that's
blatantly funny, it makes me think that it's just not their bag. But
they can understand when a dramatic actor breaks out and does something
funny. I think that feels safer, it's not as risky.

Nelson: Is there a lot of pressure on you regarding the sequel to "The
Nutty Professor"?

SteveO: Yes, but I'm too apathetic to feel it. LOL

SteveO: Sequels in general are tricky. Because everybody's waiting to
say I liked the first one better. So, you really have to go out of your
way to come up with new different items, scenes, and gags.

SteveO: That can live up to, and hopefully surpass, the original.

Nelson: You did a film called "High Strung." It has some pretty devoted
fans, and is quite revered on your fan Roger's "Steve Oedekerk Worship
Page." Is it a favorite of yours? 

Nelson: Do you know about his worship page?

SteveO: I do. I just saw the worship page, and I have to say, I totally
agree with Roger. LOL

SteveO: You know, "High Strung" has the most eclectic cult following and
they're all insane and I totally love them.

Nelson: Would you ever consider making a sequel to "High Strung"?

SteveO: I may one day. It's ... at the time, I only had the budget to
make it in a room, the entire movie takes place in a room. It's
extremely claustrophobic, it becomes infectious.

Nelson: I think we should put up that CGI Steve graphic again. 

SteveO: And, Thane has the worst temper on the planet. And, complains
about everything. Of which, he's right most of the time.

Nelson: If you were to remake it today....first of all, would you? and
if so, who would you cast?

SteveO: Well, it would have to be, because I was Thane in the first one,
and I was almost the only person in the movie. We had a few cameos. One
of which was Jim Carrey. So, in a sequel, I think I would unleash Thane
on the world.

Nelson: I think you're probably giving Roger some ideas! He may be
sending you a spec script sometime soon...

SteveO: LOL. Probably so.

Jimbo: Which Hat do you enjoy wearing the most writer/director/actor or
producer?

SteveO: All of them. I need, and must have, total power.

Nelson: Keep your hands off my keyboard Steve. 

SteveO: LOL. I find the entire process extremely comfortable. To write
something means you've pictured it, so you should direct it. And you
know exactly how you want it acted. And, if you produce, then nobody
will mess with your vision.

Nelson: Maybe it's because you're a guy who can do all those jobs that
you seem to be handed these major Hollywood stars, around whom so much
controversy surrounds....

SteveO: Yeah, everybody sends me the problem guys.

Nelson: Is that because you're the guy to handle it? 

SteveO: I guess so. I guess in some way it's a type of compliment.

Nelson: Oddly enough, that's the subject of today's interactive poll!

SteveO: Wow! What a crazy coincidence!

Nelson: Our audience has 5 minutes to RSVP their responses. After
voting, click on the show icon to return to the graphics screen.

Nelson: On second thought, MSN is having problems launching our poll.

Nelson: We take no responsibility for that!

SteveO: That was great. I thoroughly enjoyed it. LOL

Nelson: Well, we're going to give you the chance to answer Steve. Your
opinion will count 100%....unless of course, you folks in the audience
want to send in your own opinion.

Nelson: We ask, which celebrity are you most likely to believe
scandalous stories about?

Nelson: Your choices are: A) Jim Carrey, B) Eddie Murphy, C) Martin
Lawrence or D) Steve Oedekerk

SteveO: 57% of me says "Martin Lawrence." 32% says "Eddie Murphy." And
the remainder says, definitely Eddie Murphy.

Nelson: What did you think about all that Eddie Murphy nonsense? You
know, giving that gal a ride....

SteveO: LOL

Nelson: Do you believe these stories when you hear them?

SteveO: Boy, could I get in serious trouble here...I think that it's all
absolutely false!

SteveO: Completely, totally, entirely...I can't do it anymore! I can't
keep this up! He's innocent...And OJ's innocent.

Nelson: I wasn't sure of which "he" you spoke. 

SteveO: LOL

Nelson: LOL

SteveO: Good, good. That was intended.

Nelson: Yet Steve, I never see your name in the tabloids. How do you
keep so squeaky-clean? Was it the Catholic upbringing?

SteveO: I'm just better at killing people than all these other guys.

Nelson: Put together! 

Nelson: Maybe we can learn some tips from you on your website at
www.steveoedekerk.com

Nelson: Which has a similarly titled TV counterpart, Oedekerk.com. When
does that air Steve?

SteveO: Here's the plan: The special airs September 3rd.

SteveO: The website is getting updated to a Microsoft Channel on
September 1st.

SteveO: And, by late November, there will be a virtual world, O WORLD,
where you can actually participate in the special, and interact with the
characters from the special.

SteveO: The whole thing is entirely insane, and it will make your brain
pop.

Nelson: Well I hope eventually Steve, our worlds will collide. We have
time for a couple of last questions for the multi-faceted Steve
Oedekerk.

Victoria: Did you enjoy your appearance on Politically Incorrect?

SteveO: It's a fun show. You feel a little bit guilty while you're
constantly joking around, and you start to realize, oh wow, these other
guys really care about the subject.

Nelson: I seem to recall Andrew Cunanan was more than the butt of a few
jokes, if you'll pardon the pun...

SteveO: Yeah, we don't really hear enough about the good side of
Andrew....

Nelson: LOL

Nelson: But I bet you there are a few guys who could enlighten you...

SteveO: LOL. More than a few, man. More than a few.

Nelson: Quick, another question before this gets out of hand! 

Chris: When you come to a writing block (or hurdle ...) in a scene, do
you try to write your way though it, think about it and try to develop
the scene, or let it sit and come back to it later?

SteveO: I do not have time for writing blocks. I have way too much to
do. So, I just keep going.

Nelson: And I'll say quickly that we're looking forward to your upcoming
project "Cowboys and Aliens." It sounds like a GREAT concept. When can
we look forward to it?

SteveO: I'm really busy right now finishing up "Patch" starring Robin
Williams. Then, I'm going to start "Cowboys and Aliens." So I can't tell
you exactly, but it's going to be a wild film.

Nelson: And it's going to be a wild week next week in Nelson's World. We
have hot women lined up all week next week. Steve, you're going to want
to sign up for MSN and tune in every weeknight.

SteveO: No, I don't, because now I know where you are.

Nelson: Well then you can just come by the studio in person.

Nelson: You'll get to meet sex therapist Dr. Susan Block, whose got her
own HBO advice show. 

Nelson: We'll also meet legendary Hollywood author Jackie Collins.....

Nelson: "Spawn" star Theresa Randle.....

Nelson: and teen queen Jessica Bowman from "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman"

Nelson: Isn't that a great lineup Steve?

SteveO: It's really fantastic. No comment or my wife will kill me.

Nelson: Join us on Monday for Nelson's World show #100 at 7:45pm
Pacific / 10:45pm Eastern. 

Nelson: The Nelson's World guide has ALL the details and of course, you
can spend your entire weekend locked in the chitchat room. You'll leave
there feeling really "High Strung"

Nelson: Steve Oedekerk, thanks for visiting Nelson's World and thanks
for all the laughs in all your films.

SteveO: Thank you Nelson. And, thank you WORLD!!!!!

Victoria: Congratulations, Steve, on all your success! You deserve it.

SteveO: Thank you very much, Victoria.

pb: Thanx Steve. Poot.

SteveO: Poot back at ya!

Nelson: Have a great weekend!!!!!

Nelson: XOXOXO
