Matt Damon Roasts Andrew Schulz: A Comedy Special Teaser You Can’t Miss!
Grab your popcorn, folks! Matt Damon, Hollywood’s beloved A-lister known for everything from “Good Will Hunting” to “Interstellar,” is lending his comedic chops to promote Andrew Schulz’s upcoming Netflix special, “Life.” In a hilarious teaser, we see Damon hilariously roast Schulz in a diner setting, showcasing their long-standing friendship.
The promo kicks off with Damon strolling in and immediately taking jabs at Schulz’s parenting skills while eyeing his daughter, declaring, “I didn’t get the amber alert,” before diving deeper into the comedic essence of Schulz’s special—full of references to his experience with IVF and having a low sperm count. “What do you do, stand up there and grow a mustache?” Damon quips, leaving the audience in stitches while Schulz defends himself with playful indignation. The entire exchange is filled with banter that feels so genuine it’s hard to believe it’s all scripted.
This playful rivalry stems from a shared history dating back to their childhood. As Damon shared on the “Breaking Bread With Tom Papa” podcast, he grew up around Schulz’s family in New York, watching him and his brother skateboard in the neighborhood. Imagine starry-eyed young Matt running into a future comedy superstar! Their reconnection was a delightful surprise for Damon, who only later found out that his friend Larry Schulz had a son who became “a very, very successful stand-up comedian.”
What’s great about this duo is that the banter is light-hearted and unfiltered. Schulz praised Damon, calling him “the man” and noting how rare it is to work with someone as mega-star caliber without an ounce of ego. They slipped in the filming of this teaser right before Damon dived back into shooting for Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey.” Talk about a busy schedule!
With “Life” set to premiere on March 4 on Netflix, we can expect this special to deliver Schulz’s trademark hilarity, interwoven with personal anecdotes. Knowing how talented both of these guys are—Damon with his wit and Schulz with his comedic timing—it’s going to be a can’t-miss event!
