The Rag Interviews Fred Savage

The Rag: Fred Savage, hi. How's Winnie?

Fred Savage: (laughter) Everyone always asks about Winnie. Honestly I haven't seen Danica (McKellar) in a while. I'm sure she's doing fine.

TR: Ah, let that one get away did you? That's too bad. She was cute.

FS: Well, you know, you work with someone so closely for so long, especially at the age that we were at, you become more like family than anything.

TR: Family, yeah. Hmmm. So, you got her phone number?

FS: No. No I don't. I haven't seen her in some time. I swear. Let's not talk about Danica please. Aren't you going to ask me about Austin Powers?

TR: Ok. Has Austin Powers ever fought against giant pancake eating robots that ravage the countryside and eat all the pancakes in that countryside?

FS: You're really missing the point. I was fishing for an opportunity to plug my new movie, Austin Powers 3 - Goldmember.

TR: So this Austin Powers 3 is your movie? You own it?

FS: Well, no. I don't own it. But I'm in it.

TR: Oh, that was a turn of phrase. I see. How very clever of you, little boy. Are you sure you haven't seen Winnie lately? She isn't buried in your back yard or anything?

FS: Now that you mention it, she is buried in my back yard. Has been since last fall. I had forgotten all about that.

TR: Haha. We thought so, you old dog, you! So, Fred Savage, owner of Austin Powers 3 - Goldmember, have you ever seen a giant robot eating normal sized pancakes?

FS: Once. When I was a kid. I'm not sure if I actually remember it or if I just remember people telling me about it.

TR: Oh, we all remember you as a kid. We'll always think of you as little Kevin Arnold. We remember back when you were too scared to even TALK to Winnie. Now look at you! You have her buried in your back yard. You're all grown up! So, do you have anyone else buried in your backyard?

FS: (he gets very bashful) Yeah. A couple of people. Nobody famouse. Hey, is it alright if I spell 'famous' with an extra 'e' at the end?

TR: Ok, Fred. But that's going to leav us short one 'e'!

FS: Thanks. Can I go now? I have something I need to attend to, if you know what I mean.

TR: Wait, we have one more notecard. Have you read the latest Harold Bloom book?

FS: In fact I have. That guy needs to get laid.

TR: Haha. It's like you were reading our mind. One more question. Would you mind if we go to your backyard and dig Winnie up? We think she's so cute.

FS: Sure. I'll show you where she is.
