The Morning X 99X features an interview with Mike Myers, conducted in a unique "Senate hearing" atmosphere at Planet Hollywood, where he faces 13 interviewers. Discover the deeply personal reasons behind his four-year hiatus from the public eye, and how an unexpected new hobby directly sparked the creation of one of his most iconic characters. Myers shares candid insights from his time on Saturday Night Live (SNL), including the most challenging moment of rewriting a sketch during a national crisis, and the profoundly satisfying feedback he received from servicemen. Get an exclusive peek into his interactions with legendary guest stars, including an unannounced appearance from Barbra Streisand. Finally, learn the personal inspiration behind one of his beloved SNL characters, and the reasons he decided to leave the show to embrace a different phase of life, prioritizing "nesting" and family.
