Mike Myers Unfiltered Pt. 2: The Charity Lunch & Austin Powers' Roots
The Morning X 99X continues its interview with Mike Myers. Hear the saga of a charity lunch gone wrong and discover the origins of his iconic Austin Powers character, including how it's linked to classic 60s spies like Simon Templar and Matt Helm, and even his own childhood beliefs. Myers also shares how his "Ming Tea" band came to be, and offers a comedic take on British culture, drawing from his unique background. Get an update on his relationship with fellow comedian Dana Carvey and uncover the real-life inspiration behind his beloved SNL character, Sprockets, and a famously bizarre catchphrase, "Would you like to touch my monkey?".
This is from the Best of The Morning X vault.
