A Hybrid Comic
Piven has built a career spanning over 80 films and three straight Emmys. He’s a hybrid comic, to say the least, and his stand-up act is a testament to his versatility. "That’s what’s fascinating with me. I’m kinda of a hybrid comic, in a way that people know me from the 80 movies I’ve done and the three straight Emmys. Who’s counting? Me," he said.
Ari Gold and Beyond
For die-hard fans, Piven will forever be Ari Gold, the agent with a penchant for getting what he wants. "I think people think, ‘Oh, there’s Ari Gold. I’m a douchebag because of you, bro.’ We did it. Thank you, sir. My legacy is done. They don’t say that to Bryan Cranston, you know, when they see him. ‘I’m a meth addict because of you, Bryan,’" he joked.
Behind the Scenes
Piven shared some hilarious behind-the-scenes stories from his film and TV career. "Buttercream, croc skin, buttercream. What’s below the waist? Mystery meat." He also regaled the audience with tales of working with Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan, and even recounted the time Mike Tyson wandered onto the set in a Versace store, shopping for clothes.
A Heart of Gold
But Piven’s not just about comedy; he’s also got a heart of gold. He paid tribute to his late mother, who was also his acting teacher. "She’s my acting teacher, so I run lines, I don’t do lines with her. I run lines with her, right?" he said, his voice cracking with emotion.
The Miami Improv
Piven raved about the Miami Improv, calling it one of the rare rooms that feels intimate yet can accommodate a crowd of 380 people. "The Miami Improv is – this is one of those rare rooms that, like, you know, it feels incredibly intimate, yet there’s about 380 people in here. I can’t get enough of it here. I love it," he said.
