Richard Kind, known for his role on 'Everybody's Live,' frequents these Los Angeles establishments when he's not working.
Actor Richard Kind expresses anxiety about an upcoming stunt on John Mulaney's Netflix talk show, "Everybody's Live with John Mulaney." The 68-year-old comedian will reportedly participate in a mock fight with three 14-year-old boys on the show's finale.
Kind portrayed various memorable supporting roles in shows such as "Spin City," "Curb Your Enthusiasm," and "Only Murders in the Building." In "Everybody's Live," he serves as a comedic sidekick to Mulaney. The show, which wrapped after a 12-week run, is known for its eccentric and absurd segments, such as Mulaney conducting an entire episode while blindfolded.
During a meeting a few weeks before the finale, Kind exhibited visible unease about the impending fight. He confessed his concerns, stating, "I better be working out because I'm just horrified about that fight - just horrified." He further explained, "I'm so nervous about the fight. I am. I am."
Kind recalled the influence of Andy Kaufman's wrestling stunts on his concerns for the fight, adding, "Puberty adds strength that prepubescence does not." He continued, "Since the derivation of it was '100 men versus a gorilla' ... I mean, prepubescent strength versus John is one thing, but 14-year-olds? I don't know. I don't know. I'm not prepared for this."
Kind has enjoyed the unconventional comedic elements of "Everybody's Live," like a sketch where he pretended to suffer from a traumatic brain injury and believed he was KISS frontman Gene Simmons. He was often unsure of his performance, however, and frequently received show rundowns, such as the text he received on a Tuesday morning detailing the upcoming episode.
"My joke with John is I love doing this show, except for Wednesdays between 7 and 8 p.m., because that's when it becomes reality," Kind said.
Kind has a complicated relationship with Los Angeles, often comparing it to the rivalry between the Lakers and the Knicks. Despite this, he shared his favorite spots in the city. He frequents the Lakeside Golf Club, where he joined as a member during his time on "Spin City." The Original Farmers Market and Larchmont Village's Larchmont Village Wine, Spirits & Cheese are among his other preferred destinations.
