Daniel Robert Epstein: Dave Foley

DANIEL ROBERT EPSTEIN: Dave Foley

I finally got a chance to talk with Dave Foley and I just couldn’t resist the chance to ask him what his favorite episodes were from both The Kids in the Hall TV show and Newsradio. Those are just two of the best comedies, in any medium, ever created. But Foley was most excited to talk about the new play he’s co-directed called The Tribute.

Daniel Robert Epstein: How did you get involved with The Tribute?



Dave Foley: Well, my wife is one of the...

Dave Foley, my fave Kid and Newsradio I think my alltime fave tv sitcom show. I read this and thought about Dave dressed as a woman for the Halloween episode of Newsradio and How much Lisa hated that he looked better. I remember the Phil Hartman episode and the cane. I absolutely love the episode with Dave and Kevin(The Great Throwdini)

Great Interview

I love when I am watching something and suddenly, there's Dave Foley. He's like gravy. He makes anything better. He made Sky High worth watching.

He's on Craig Ferguson's show from time to time. Always brings his "A" game.

Newsradio is one of my all-time favorite shows. Kids in the Hall is also one of the best sketch comedies ever. Really, there hasn't been anything Dave Foley has done that's sucked terribly.

I think his crowning achievement though is coining the phrases "Riverdancer" for a high card with a low kicker, and "Rockette" for a high card with a high kicker.

Ah, I love Kids in the Hall. One of my favorites is when he is in a café & can't recall the name of the movie he saw the night before. He is describing it to Kevin McDonald and while Kevin keeps saying the name of the movie, "Citizen Kane" Dave keeps saying "no that's not it". This keeps up with a few other things till…




Oh and this one..






I could go on for a long time, the whole time lmao. I have never seen him give a bad performance.

I couldn't pick just one, when I did a search...

He always has had a good attitude:

Really impressive subtle sarcasm in this one:

This one has always given me "extreeeme sexual harniness":

Possible the best "straight man" facial reactions of all time:

I was specifically looking for this one. This is the real Dave Foley, to me. I dunno why, I just feel it captures him the best:

I rented Sky High just for some pointless bubblegum to watch one night while feeling ill. To see him, Kevin McDonald, and Bruce Campbell in it made me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Well, there's this movie he stars in called
The Other Guy or something, with Jennifer
Tilly and it was god awful. I mean, Jennifer Tilly.


And,
God I love Dave Foley and Newsradio.

Dave Foley has always been one of my fav sketch comedy guys.. I loved Kids in the Hall!! I wasn't supposed to watch it though, my step dad thought it was too "gay"--he was such a piece of *^&#. I loved sneaking downstairs to my step sisters room to watch!!! It was always worth getting busted too! NewsRadio, I miss like I miss John Ritter (3s Company) He was so fascinating to watch go from "pretend queer" to "typical horny male". DAVE FOLEY ROX!!!

Great interview. I love Dave.
