Talk to the grinch 2021

James Austin Johnson is heading from Saturday Night Live to Whoville. EW can exclusively reveal that the SNL comedian, best known for his spot-on presidential impressions of Donald Trump and Joe Biden, will be voicing the Grinch in a festive new podcast from Wondery. With an official title of 'Tis the Grinch Holiday Talk Show, the series will follow Dr. Seuss' iconic green miser as he sits down with celebrity guests to talk all things Christmassy. (Check out the trailer above.) Since Seuss' book was published in 1957, the Grinch has crossed over to films, TV specials, and video games, so perhaps it was only a matter of time before he got into podcasting. (Past Grinch actors include Boris Karloff, Jim Carrey, and Benedict Cumberbatch.) The show will also feature a number of celebrity guests, including SNL alum Bobby Moynihan, comedian Patton Oswalt, actress Skai Jackson, WWE superstar Cody Rhodes, and Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson East. The series will premiere Nov. 1 on Wondery+, before going wide Nov. 6 with new episodes releasing weekly. EW spoke to Johnson in between SNL rehearsals, where he broke down his take on the cuddly-as-a-cactus villain — and the surprising similarities between his Grinch and his Biden.

Did you have any trepidation about stepping into those furry green shoes? JAMES AUSTIN JOHNSON: I mean, he's an icon. I think the Grinch is bigger than all of us as actors. [Laughs] It's a little intimidating, but it's also familiar. It's something that's within us all. Everyone has had a day where you have had a couple of iced coffees, and you forget to eat breakfast, and you think about one negative thing, and it just becomes your entire personality. We've all been there. What's the secret to the perfect Grinch voice? It's a mix of a lot of things. With this podcast, you're hearing the

Grinch talk a lot more than you've heard him talk in the past. And that's fun to me: It's right up my alley to do characters and get to live it in for a nice length of time, instead of just a couple lines here and there. How is the Grinch as a talk show host? I would say there's a little… I wouldn't say Dick Cavett, but I feel like the Grinch is a fan of the 1970s era of talk shows. I think he probably thinks of himself as a Charlie Rose type, but in reality, he's a raving lunatic. He's not quite as straight-laced as that. When he actually starts talking, he goes off on these little rants about all the seasonal stuff that drives him mad. Jim Carrey famously played the Grinch, and he also portrayed Joe Biden on SNL, before you took over. Tell me a little bit about your approach to the perfect Biden impression. With Biden, it's quiet. [Whispers] "Jobs, family, security." First, it's a slow rumble, sort of like a storm is gathering. Then, that storm breaks and crashes and explodes, and he just starts yelling out of nowhere. Those are the two speeds. He can be real low and quiet and lull you in, and then he explodes with righteousness. So, going back and forth between those two poles is something that I find fun to do with the character. I found that I could bring some of that dynamism to the Grinch, too. He has a low, quiet rage, and when he's feeling kind of sassy and chatty, he gets a little bit higher. I definitely felt inspired by all the Grinches. There's times when I'm rumbling, like Benedict Cumberbatch, who was famously Smaug the dragon [in The Hobbit movies] and spoke very low. And then there's the Jim Carrey Grinch, who has a higher and more sort of Looney Tunes approach to mayhem. So, I'm finding layers to the other Grinches and using them to Voltron myself into what I consider the ultimate Grinch. [Laughs] I know that Wondery

James Austin Johnson makes a great Grinch, and that was quite a selection of celebs he interviewed for the show. I hope that in the next season, he will interview new stars like Jim Carrey, who portrayed the Grinch in a popular movie from 2000. Segments like Grinch's advent Calendar and the Whoville Who-Done-It mystery added a nice touch to this holiday podcast. Looking forward to what the Grinch and Cyndi Lou Who will have in store for season 3. The best part of the podcast is when the Grinch's heart expands thinking about the holidays. It really drives him grinchy!Mark-AA84Dec 31, 2024PermalinkContribute to this pageSuggest an edit or add missing contentEdit pageAdd episodeMore to explore
