DRE: Does Adam West still call you sometimes?

RS: He doesn’t. I think the last time I called him was when I wrote something for him to do on Saturday Night Live, which I still haven’t bothered to produce. It had kind of a Lookwell feel to it. It was more of a direct parody of the old Batman show and it was called Adam West. It was going to be shot in Batman style. The villains were other similarly aged actors like Mike Connors and William Shatner who were competing with him for voiceover and spokesman roles for products like adult bibs. Adam West’s sidekick was an old Jewish agent who would come to him with offers and he would be like, “Adult bibs, perfect.” Then he would get a fax that he had an audition and he would say, “That audition was for yesterday.” Then he would stroke his chin and say, “George Kennedy.” Then you would cut to George Kennedy at an adjusted angle laughing like the Joker. It was all going to culminate in a great fight scene with sound effects where he would push someone and the word “SHOVE” or “OLD” would come up. That was that. Maybe I’ll still do it but it would require a lot of effort to shoot because it would have to really look like a Batman episode. I don’t know if I can put Adam West and George Kennedy through that.

DRE: What about animated?

RS: It wouldn’t be as funny. When you’re mocking the elderly you really want to see the elderly.
