>> Stephen: WE HAVE A LOT OF
FUN, GREAT PEOPLE ON THIS SHOW,
BUT THERE ARE VERY FEW PEOPLE
THAT GET MY STAFF AS EXCITED TO
HAVE ON THE SHOW.
>> OH, THEY'VE COME OUT.
>> Stephen: HAVE THEY SAID HI
TO YOU?
>> EVERYBODY, YEAH.
>> Stephen: IT'S REALLY NICE.
IT'S YOU AND KERMIT AND COOKIE
MONSTER.
THOSE ARE THE ONES.
>> THE TRINITY.
>> Stephen: EXACTLY.
(LAUGHTER)
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE WHAT YOU
DO?
BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN DOING
IT -- I MEAN, FOR THE REST OF
US, MIGHT HAVE BEEN DOING IT
FOREHAND, BUT 1979 WITH MY BA BA
BOLOGNA, YOUR TRIBUTE TO MY
SHARONA.
WHAT DO YOU DO.
> A PARODIEST, SINGER, SONG SONG
WRITER, PRODUCER, COMEDIAN,
ACTOR, ACCORDION PLAYER, SEX
GOD.
(APPLAUSE)
>> Stephen: IT'S NICE WORK.
>> Stephen: I WANT TO ASK YOU
ABOUT THE ACCORDION.
DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU WERE
YOUNGER IF YOU LEARNED AN
INSTRUMENT THAT PEOPLE ENJOYED
HEARING --
>> WHAT?!
>> Stephen: -- THAT MAYBE YOU
WOULDN'T HAVE GONE INTO PARODY,
BECAUSE ACCORDION YOU WANT TO
HEAR A POLKA OR STROLL PAST MY
TABLE IN EUROPE WHEN WE'RE
EATING.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: HOW DID YOU GET
THE ACCORDION?
>> MY PARENTS MADE THE
LIFE-ALTERING DECISION.
THEY KNEW I WOULD HAVE TO FIND
MY OWN PATH IN LIFE AND GO A
SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT WAY.
IF I PLAYED THE GUITAR, I DON'T
KNOW IF I WOULD BE DOING FUNNY
MUSIC BECAUSE IT'S NOT THAT
DIFFERENT FROM EVERYBODY ELSE.
>> Stephen: HOW COME AFTER 40
YEARS YOU DON'T LOOK ANY
DIFFERENT?
(APPLAUSE)
(LAUGHTER)
HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?
I HAVE VISIBLY AGED SINCE LAST
SEPTEMBER!
(LAUGHTER)
YOU'RE LIKE A FROZEN CAVE MAN.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: HOW IS IT YOU STAY
SO FRESH?
DO YOU SELL YOUR SOUL TO THE
DEVIL?
>> THAT'S PART OF IT.
THE OTHER PART IS I RARELY LEAVE
MY HYPERBARIC CHAMBER.
