Ok, here it is,
and it's REALLY LONG! Here are the players: Kyle Chandler= K: Pete McMurray= P: Pete has two sidekicks and I don't know their names (don't listen to talkradio- even if it is my town), so they'll be referred to as I2 who is a woman, and I3 who is a man. They opened the interview with a tape of Kyle calling the station: K: Hey, Pete McMurray, it's Kyle...Chandler. Um, let's see, I don't know who I'm supposed to talk to here, but listen, I think we're gonna do a we're I think, gonna do a phone interview. Ah, if you wanna give me a call and let me know what time I should give you guys a call; I think I was told but of course I lost it. Uuhh, ah no it might be at six o'clock, if you could confirm that with me give me the number I could call that'd be great so...uh, let me know. Maybe if I'm not even doin' it maybe you got...I don't know who else, you know... P: Well, I just don't know, I I don't know. He stars as "Jake" on What About Joan Tuesday nights on ABC, it's Kyle Chandler. Kyle? K: Alright. You never called me back! P: (laughs) Well, you ended up calling the hotline like at ten to eleven right before the show was over. K: Well, I'm trying to plug this show a little bit and I just get no respect everywhere I turn. P: Hey, hey, you get respect here! K: Oh, well, I mean yeah, here you get respect nowhere else. P: Yes, yes K: Good evening, how're ya doin'? P: I'm doin' great and I told you the other night I love the show, and I think you and Joan have a certain chemistry that's workin' well. K: Yeah, hopefully so, hopefully so. People seem to be tunin' in. P: Well, have you ever done comedy before? K: Uh, not like this. I've never done a s..a half-hour show before. P: And how did you decide to do this? You were doing Early Edition in Chicago, next thing you know, you tell us, "Well, you know, I could have another project in Chicago, but I don't know about it.." then next thing you know, you're doing a sitcom. K: Yeah, well, I had heard for a couple of years, that uh at least for a year or so, that this thing might be coming into town, and uh it was after Early Edition was off the air (sound of a dog growling LOUDLY)that that I finally heard... P: You ok? What was... K: Nah, I'm I'm ah I'm outside and the dog is in the shed. P: Oh my God, that's your DOG? I2: In your shed? K: Yeah, I collect all the dogs in the neighborhood and put 'em in the shed. ALL: laughs K: Um, see ah, so I I asked my uh people
about it and finally I found out there was an audition
and I went in and I read with Joan and uh uh we went in
there and I had my lines memorized and she didn't and she
kept jumping my lines and I I said, at one point I said,
"Well, are you ever going to let me say what I'm
supposed to say?" and she said (doing his best sassy
Joan imitation) "No." THE END |

I couldn't sleep, decided to see
if there were any new messages on the board, and was
pleasantly surprised to find that you had transcribed the
interview. Well, actually you were still in the process
of transcribing when I interrupted. Sorry. Anyway, thanks
so much. It was a great interview, More!! More!! LOL!! :D While reading this, I felt as if I was listening to the interview on the radio first hand. How old is this interview? I am so glad that Kyle cleared up the baby's due date. LOL!! It was also nice to hear him saying something about his wife, the pregnancy and family too. Sort of gives us an inside peek into what his home life is probably like. So normal! But then again, what was I expecting? Duh!! The part where Kyle says that he doesn't get a lot of fan mail. I wonder if he was kidding. I hope that he was kidding. Also, the part where he says; //Well, I'm trying to plug this show a little bit and I just get no respect everywhere I turn.// This deeply disturbs me. Poor baby! :( What is wrong with those Hollywood- people- in- charge anyway? Don't they know a good thing when they see it??? Honestly, the only reason I'm watching this show (WAJ)is because Kyle is in it. Anyway, he seems so normal. (Duhhh!! again.) I just love this guy! :) |

Newf65, from the
bottom of my heart--thank you sooo-ooo much for that
interview!!! How wonderful! Kyle C. has the best fans in
the world! Now we've got to make sure he knows it-- would
somebody puh-leeze give that guy the URL addresses of all
the 'I love kyle' web sites please?? LOLOL!! He's so cute, modest, and unassuming-- which of course is why I'm a huge fan! |

Newf65- very interesting interview and may I say you did an excellent job transcribing it so we could all enjoy it. :D It was almost like actually hearing it on the radio firsthand. What radio station was it on and when? Thanks for your time and effort put into it. |

Thanks so much Monica. You did a great job! I felt bad about the fan mail thing too. I hope he was kidding. If not does anyone know the address where we can write to him now? would it be the studio where they shoot WAK? Although I was a little disturbed by the comments he made about the strange fans? I hope he wasn't talking about us? I would just die. :O |

Hi everyone, I just got done reading the interview with Kyle it was really great. I got a big kick when I read that Kyle's wife likes mayo sandwiches with sugar on top. My mother has been eating Mayo sandwiches with sugar on top ever since she was little and my mother is 72 years old :D I thought I share that. |
Newf65 05/20/01 |
Thanks a million
everyone. Glad to be of service. I received the interview
courtesy of Jayne and Lurker Linda; I like to give credit
where credit is due! As far as I can tell, this interview
was most likely done the week of April 8-14, WCKG Chicago.
You will most likely be able to reach him like this: Mr.
Kyle Chandler, c/o Ashland Productions, 5660 W. Taylor St.
Stage #3, Chicago, IL 60644. Dollene, I
wouldn't worry about the "strange" comment too
much. The whole internet-fan-groupie thing would be
enough to freak any normal person out. I'm thinking
someone like Kyle would see it as awfully strange to be
making such a fuss over him, but of course, that's why we
like the guy so much! ;) |

I was also glad to see that Kyle cleared up that business of when the baby was due. He must have thought Kelly asked when did she get pregnant, since a baby born in November would've been conceived in February, although I don't know why he would've thought that, since the first question most people ask is, "When is the baby due?" |

I forgot to mention that I was so pleased to hear that Kyle loves big dogs. My screen name "Newf" is short for my doggie's breed: Newfoundland. He'll be two on the 27th and he's a bouncing 150lbs. If you can get over the drool and the hair and the snoring, he's really quite adorable...I, too, tricked my husband into getting him. I pulled the same kind of stunt Kyle did. I told my husband that we'd go to see the litter "just to see them," and of course by the time we left we were also leaving a deposit. When we went to pick him up, the pup was in the breeder's arms, she put him down, I called to him and that darned dog went straight to my husband. You'd never seen a heart melt SO fast. It was true love. Now my husband truly loves the breed (they are gigantic love muffins)and has even talked about becoming a breeder eventually! Our pup's name? All of the Star Wars fans out there will love it: Obi-Wan Kenewfi. I know, I know, Newfs look more like Wookies, but the name was just too great to pass up! OK, back to KYLE..... |

Newf65, thanks so
much for sharing the interview with us! Out of all of the interviews I've
read, this one has to be the best!!! I have to comment on
what Kyle said about the things posted on the message
boards related to him. So the message boards freak him
out. I am wondering which boards he is referring to. On
the boards where no one has to register, some, but not
all, of the boards themselves and comments have been
extremely nasty. On boards like this one, where you have
to register to get into, I don't remember ever reading
anything bad about Kyle. Whether or not he would want to
give personal information in order to read the messages
on the better boards, I don't know. These are the boards
that I am hoping he is referring to. Thanks again for the fanscript! I never listen to talk radio either, and without your typing it all out, we would have all missed out on a great interview! :D |
