I hope Ken doesn't kill me for saying this...but when we filmed this segment, he had the director throw him a box of candy. It was laying around left over from Halloween. And, she threw it about four or five times, and he caught it one-handed each time. It was perfect. I was just laughing, because it came within an inch from hitting my big, Jewish nose a few times. I figured I'd be doing that Harvey Korman laugh when we did the real take.
So, the camera starts rolling. We're doing it. The candy comes by like a Randy Johnson fastball, and Ken misses it. Take #2. And, I gotta say, it's always fun to do multiple takes. I mean, hey, I'm not going to be the one in the editing room trying to put this crap together, the director is!
The next take, it's a lob that's so high, it almost hits the lights above us. Take #3, the throw is perfect, but Ken bobbles it.
Finally, take #4. A perfect, fast throw. Ken puts his hand up like he's Johnny Bench with a huge catchers glove on. And, as we continue talking, Ken almost drops it on the hand-off from one hand to the other.
I bet that guy never played a day of baseball in his life.
