Here is a transcript of Seth Green's radio appearance @ WHTZ Z100 done by Ozlander list member Feliza.
Okay, guys, here's the transcript from Seth Green's interview with the DJ's on WHTZ Z100, Thursday morning, July 16. I tried to be as accurate as possible and only transcribed the parts where Seth actually spoke. For those of you unfamiliar with Z100, it's a New York station that has a morning segment called the Z Morning Zoo, with wacky DJ's who make their own fun. Hope you all enjoy it! I know I did! Later, Feliza ELVIS: (wolf howling sound effect) He's Oz from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Seth Green. Let's do the entire interview like this (echo sound effect). Now, Seth Green is here. Hi, Seth! SETH: How are ya. ELLIOT: Hey, dude! ELVIS: I don't know, Buffy's cool and everything, but Austin Powers. That was... SETH: Are we seriously gonna maintain this echo effect? (laughter) ELVIS: Yeah, we're gonna be in the bathroom all day. Austin Powers was great. SETH: Thanks, man. (Then jokingly) You know where I can get a smoke? (laughter) ELVIS: You remember, uh, the son of...what was the guy's name? Doctor, uh... SETH: Dr. Evil. EVERYBODY: (repeats) Dr. Evil! ELVIS: Dr. Evil. Shh! (laughter) ELVIS: Lets all, like, do it again. Just in case. Shh! SETH: But I... ELVIS: Shh! SETH: But I... ELVIS: Shh! (laughter) SETH: Yeah, see. ELVIS: Exactly. (laughter) ELVIS: You like waking up early doing these stupid radio shows? You okay with it? SETH: It's such a pleasure. Yeah. (laughter) ELVIS: You were on Conan O'Brien last night. SETH: Yes, I was. ELVIS: Well, not "on" him, but on his show. SETH: No, I was on him. ELVIS: Were you? SETH: Soon as it went to commercial break, yeah, I was right there. ELVIS: You were right there on top of him. (Seth laughs). Even though it's a late night show, I mean, they tape it during the day, so I mean, you had free time last night. What do you do in New York when you come to town? SETH: Ah, sleep, actually. ELVIS: C'mon...there's so much to do. SETH: No, I pretty much grew up here. I'm from Philadelphia and I spent, like, four days out of...(laughingly) are we seriously gonna do it with this effect on the whole time? ELVIS: Yeah, exactly. SETH: (laughing) Perfect. Okay. CHRISTINE: Just ignore it, just keep going. SETH: All right, (drops voice to a low whisper) well the kids in third period are complaining that we don't have a crib sheet. (regular voice)Yeah, um, it was...it's fine. I don't get to do a lot on trips like this because I'm doing a lot of publicity, so it's...every minute's pretty much occupied. ELVIS: Get a life! SETH: I know. I'm working on it. ELVIS: Seriously. C'mon! SETH: Well, you know, they're really expensive on the black market, so... (laughter) ELVIS: Now listen, you are the...one of the latest, hottest characters on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. (Seth laughs) ELVIS: The show is doing very well. SETH: Yeah, all right. ELVIS: Well, I mean, I don't know if you ever come out into the "real" world to see what's going on, what people are watching, but it's true! You're doing some really heavy, hot things. This is a good thing. SETH: Cool. ELVIS: That's why we invited you up here. We usually don't have...we don't invite losers up here, Seth, so that... SETH: Oh, I thought Faustino turned you down, so I was next on the list. (laughter) ELVIS: Yes, Dave Faustino did turn us down. (Laughter) But, wait... JOHN BELL: After the fifth invitation, yeah. (More laughter) ELLIOT: The sad thing is, you're probably the only person in America who remembers him. SETH: Ah ha ha ha. ELVIS: Poor guy. ELLIOT: He's horrible. ELVIS: Now, Elliot has very close ties to people on the set of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. SETH: Tha's what I heard on the drive in. Ouch. ELVIS: (to Elliot) Have you dug up some dirt on our friend Seth? SETH: (At the same time) I don't know if I'm prepped. ELLIOT: Yeah, but we'll get into that in a couple of minutes. Hey, let me ask you first, and we'll see how rough this interview is gonna get for you. Who do you or did you like acting better with, Sara Michelle Gellar or Jennifer Love-Hewitt? SETH: Well, actually, Gellar and I hardly have any scenes together. And , uh.. ELLIOT: Right, well you didn't have a whole lot of scenes together with Hewitt, either. SETH: Yeah, well, Love and I did a show, um, for six months together, so we had a bunch of stuff together. She's great to work with. ELLIOT: Oh, what was that? SETH: We did a show called Byrds of Paradise (I think that's the spelling-Feliza) ELLIOT: Oh, okay. (Silence. Everyone waiting for Seth to say more.) CHRISTINE: No, that's kinda your answer. SETH: Yeah. Yeah, that does it. (laughter) JOHN BELL: That kinda wraps it. ELLIOT: So, you like Jennifer Love-Hewitt more than Sara Michelle Gellar? SETH: Ah, yeah...oh, I'd like to see them in a boxing match, actually. I think it would go over pretty well. ELVIS: A death match? CHRISTINE: Yeah, MTV. JOHN BELL: The Death Match! CHRISTINE: That actually would be good. ELVIS: (to Elliot) Are you trying to get some negativity stirred up in the room? ELLIOT: No, not at all! Not at all. Just taking notes. I'm just taking notes along the way. (to Seth) Dude, your character in Can't Hardly Wait was great, though. SETH: Thanks. ELLIOT: That was hysterical, I love the whole backpack. And the movie's great. SETH: Thanks. ELLIOT: The movie's awesome. I'll tell you, the only thing that they messed up about the movie is the soundtrack. SETH: Oh, really. ELVIS: Why's that? ELLIOT: Yeah, because, like, the music in the movie is great, but a lot of the songs that are in the movie didn't make it onto the soundtrack. They put, like, a lot of new stuff on other than, like, It's Tricky, Graduate, and Paradise City. SETH: Sure. Well, they had planned, you know, were the film incredibly successful, to release "more" music from Can't Hardly Wait, you know. ELLIOT: Oh, sure. Like the Big Chill. SETH: Exactly. (laughs) Yeah. ELVIS: Same thing. Well, why didn't they? Oh, because the film wasn't successful? Is that the reason? SETH: Well, because everytime I mention the film to anybody, they're like, "Oh yeah, isn't that coming out?" and I'm like, well, it's actually been out for five weeks, but...you know. (laughter) ELVIS: You see, this is one of those situations, Seth, where there's some great films that don't get the publicity they deserve. SETH: It got a, it got a fair amount of publicity, what happened was it got released right in the center of an influx of films. Like, every week, three huge action films are coming out. Immediately after us... ELVIS: Godzilla and all that stuff. SETH: Well, Godzilla came out a week before us, and then the next week was Truman Show, and then the X-Files, and Mulan , and, you know, all these other...Armageddon. So, you know, we kinda got trounced a little bit. ELVIS: Well, that blows. SETH: Thanks for feeling the pain, man. ELVIS: Why don't they think before they release these films around here? ELLIOT: Hey, you got paid upfront, what do you care? SETH: I don't, man. (laughter) CHRISTINE: How about working with Debbie Maizer* (sorry, don't know spelling-Feliza), Seth, 'cause you were on a series that I think I was the only person who watched. I really liked it. ELVIS: Which one? CHRISTINE: What was it called? SETH: It was called Temporarily Yours. CHRISTINE: There it is. It took place in her Brooklyn apartment. You guys remember this? Just last year? SETH: She worked at a temp agency in Brooklyn. ELVIS: I don't remember that at all. SETH: Yeah, it got a really limited push and it was on CBS. ELLIOT: Oh, say no more! SETH: (laughing) There you go. It was...it was clever. It was...it was a fun show, and she was great to work with. ELVIS: Now, what do you have coming up? I mean, you've been doing these... JOHN BELL: The Enemy Within. ELVIS: Obviously, of course, Buffy, you know, that's happening, but film-wise. SETH: Un, I got a real small part in Tony Scott's new movie, Enemy of the State. Real small, real small part. JOHN BELL: Enemy of the State, that's it. SETH: Yeah, like, you won't even...you won't even, uh, notice me if you don't look really carefully, but it's a cool, supercool movie. I saw some cut footage of it a few days ago, and it looks amazing. So... ELLIOT: When does that come out? SETH: Um, I don't know. It's gonna be out this September, I can tell you that. JOHN BELL: I think it's September, yeah. ELVIS: Well, I mean, I need to see you more than this. I need to see you in huge, major-starring, like, love-scene roles. SETH: Okay, well I did a soft porn with, uh, Scott Schwartz (again, I don't know spelling-Feliza). (laughter) ELLIOT: Very nice. SETH: Yeah. ELLIOT: Very good. Now we're going. ELVIS: Now we're cooking. CHRISTINE: Well, we can hear him. You're the cat, right, in Dr. Doolittle? SETH: (laughing) I actually got cut out of the movie. Betty Thomas came up to me, um, she directed Dr. Doolittle, she produced Can't Hardly Wait, she came up to me in the press room, I mean, she goes, "Hey, so, Doolittle, you got cut. Sorry. Anyway, I hope you have a good interview." That was it, she's pretty (snapping his fingers) cut and dry. CHRISTINE: Oh, no! ELVIS: Dude, why do we have this guy here, he got cut out of Doolittle. (laughter) SETH: I know, man. ELVIS: That's low. SETH: Well, apparently Shandling outshined me, so...(laughter). What are you gonna do? ELVIS: Seth Green is here, it's 7:21 at Z100. (commercial) ELVIS: ...(I cut out unnecessary talk-Feliza) Christine Neggy (spelling, my fault-Feliza) has your E on the Z, as assisted by Seth Green. Have you ever reported sleaze before? SETH: Yeah. ELVIS: Well, okay. (a Sheryl Crow song plays) ELVIS: Z100, 7:29, it's Sheryl Crow, with Elvis, Elliot, John Bell, Christine Neggy's here, Seth Green, you know, Oz from Buffy (howling wolf sound effect). Where's that dog? There's this dog keeps howling in the background. SETH: I brought it with me. Sorry. ELVIS: All right, Seth, we're gonna do some E on the Z here. By the way, Seth, in from L.A., I'm assuming you live in L.A. SETH: Yeah. ELVIS: Sorry about the weather, dude. SETH: Hey, it's all right, man. I hold you personally responsible. ELVIS: Well it's just my fault. (Does weather report)...Saturday and Sunday are gonna be cool. You'll be leaving by then, right? SETH: Yeah, I'll be outta here Friday morning. So, thanks. (laughter) ELVIS: So...exactly, so you just think this is what it's always like here. SETH: Well, I grew up here, so... ELVIS: How long is your deal on Buffy? SETH: Um, for the next season or so. ELLIOT: So, are you gonna stay at Buffy, or are you gonna go to the Angel spinoff? SETH: (laughs) Ah, no, I'll stay on Buffy. ELVIS: Now, you start shooting next week? SETH: Yeah, Monday. ELVIS: Now, do you already have scripts... ELLIOT: (interrupts) You start Monday?! SETH: (answering Elvis) Everybody else does, I haven't gotten mine yet. I'm still counted the new kid. ELLIOT: You have a very small part in the first show. SETH: That's what they tell me. I think I'm actually going, " Hey, where'd Angel go?" You know, something like that. (laughter) ELVIS: You said it with conviction. I enjoyed it. SETH: Well, thanks, that's why I got the part. ELVIS: That's good. All right, Seth is going to help Christine with E on the Z. CHRISTINE: Yeah, Seth, I know your favorite magazine is Star magazine... SETH: Well, that's where I go to get all my facts. Yeah, okay. CHRISTINE: Absolutely. Here's another little tidbit for you, Matt LeBlanc seen buying up a whole bunch of men's underwear for himself, just so you know, black thong underwear. SETH: He actually gave me a pair of those as a gift, so they weren't really for himself. (laughter) CHRISTINE: Oh, do they fit you? SETH: Ah, not as well as you'd think. I think he estimates everybody by his own body size. CHRISTINE: Yeah, because it says he bought all those in extra-large. SETH: Yeah, they don't quite accommodate me. CHRISTINE: National Enquirer has a little story about Scary Spice. Maybe you'd want to get together with her. You two would make quite a team. ELVIS: Are you a Spice Girls fan? C'mon... SETH: I am a Spice Girls fan, but my favorite Spice Girl left, so now I gotta , you know, pledge allegience to a new flag, I guess. CHRISTINE: Well, Scary supposedly is really hot under the sheets. This is according to some heavy porn star guy, Henry the Great (laughing) says that he was with Scary and it was the most amazing sex he ever had. SETH: Well, I was with Henry, and he wasn't that great, so... (laughter) CHRISTINE: And Ginger Spice, your girl ...(cut out unnecessary blah blah blah) has a brand new look...she's going for this minimalist kind of look... SETH: It's kind of upsetting, actually, 'cause all the new photos of her, I'm conveniently framed out. CHRISTINE: Oh, yeah? SETH: Yeah. ELVIS: I saw your hand around her shoulder on a couple of them. SETH: Yeah. ELVIS: Is that your hand? SETH: Yeah. Yeah. CHRISTINE: Are you advising her to wear the little black dress, and a lot of makeup... SETH: I tell her whatever makes her feel more comfortable. CHRISTINE: Yeah. She says she's feeling good that way now. (More sleazy news stuff.) ELVIS: All right, Seth Green, thank you (wolf howling sound effect)... What is it with the dog? SETH: Sorry, man, I'd send him to obedience school and it just hasn't worked. ELVIS: Oz, from Buffy. And you'll be back in the fall, I mean, you'll be on in the fall. You start shooting next week. SETH: Yeah. ELVIS: Congratulations. SETH: Thanks, very much. ELVIS: Have fun in New York. SETH: All right. ELVIS: Now, by the way, your hair is red today, but it was black a couple of days ago? SETH: Yeah. ELVIS: Now any good hairdresser worth his weight or her weight in gold would tell you--you're gonna fry your hair off, dude! Keep it one color for a while. SETH: Okay. ELVIS: Just a helpful little hairtip. SETH: For you, I will. ELVIS: Thanks for coming in. Seth Green, everyone! SETH: Thanks.
