WTF Happened to MIKE MYERS?

In our latest WTF series, we take a look at some of our favorite stars and filmmakers who have seemingly disappeared or altered their careers over the years to the point that begs the question; WTF happened? Now, before you think we're just picking on celebrities or running some gossip rag stuff, think again! We take a fun (and sometimes funny), researched and fair approach, looking at all angles that led our subject to wherever they are now (which isn't necessarily a bad place at all). If anything, it answers the question on where these fine folks went, how they got there and where you can find 'em now.
In our latest episode we take a look at the funnyman genius that is Mike Myers, who has had a long career of hilarious and memorable characters (and a few not-so-memorable ones) throughout his film and TV career thus far. Myers first rose to prominence with his various performances on SNL, even translating one of them, WAYNE'S WORLD, to the big screen with great success. He followed that up with the oft-forgotten gem SO I MARRIED AN AXE MURDERER and then a sequel to WAYNE'S WORLD, before giving us the cultural phenomenon that is AUSTIN POWERS: INTERNATIONAL MAN OF MYSTERY. Two sequels (and a few smaller films) later, Myers dabbled in Dr. Suess with THE CAT IN THE HAT, which bombed at the box office and put Myers off the live-action grid, instead continuing his voiceover work for the famous animated SHREK series. He returned four years later with THE LOVE GURU, which sadly didn't get much love in theaters. After an almost unrecognizable appearance in Quentin Tarantino's INGLORIOUS BASTERDS, Myers disappeared from live action films, only recently returning for the Oscar-winning BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY. What gives? Where's he been? Why has he denied us his comedy genius for so long and will he be back? Join us as we catch up and find out WTF happened to Mike Myers!

When actors won't get in line and do what ppl say they gain the title of hard to work with. Edward Norton cares about the movies he's making and wants them to be good and he has that title also. He's turned down hundreds of roles waiting for a good script. He cares what his name is on and cares about the viewer. He's fought to change certain aspects of films and dialog because they were garbage. Caring about the end product should be everyone but it's not. That's why we have the same blockbuster actors getting recycled for every new blockbuster film. Theyre recyclable actors for recyclable films. They have no problem getting in line and putting their name and face all over remakes, beat to death franchises, and just awful movies with no care about the end product or the audience as long as they get paid. Not saying all directors or actors are doing this like Dune was awesome in my opinion. Everyone cared about that film and it shows in my opinion.

Holy crap, I can't believe Wayne's World is 30 years old already. I still remember when it first came out. I was 10. And it was HUGE. Everyone, from elementary school kids to college kids, were obsessed with that film during the early-mid 90s. "Wayne" and "Garth" were household names all across the US, in practically every household. And quotes and one-liners from the film were said constantly by people of all ages. It's like you couldn't even make it through one single day without hearing at least a few of your friends or family members make some Wayne's World reference. It really was a massive hit. Just blows my mind that it was 30 years ago already. That just blows my mind.

[@shivaraj108]

I love the Love Guru movie. I think anyone who has spent some time dedicated to meditation, gurus and Vedic based studies including just following Deepak Chopra appreciates the reverent dethroning that mike delivered. This space of often self appointed gurus, hierarchies, secret knowledge, pseudo science, people thinking they know what happens when we die, pretending to have powers, pretending to be all knowing, needs to be smacked down every now and then. He was making fun of how the HIndu traditions were packaged a certain way and sold to westerners who added their own idiocy to it. And one of the big lessons in the move is that the guru is not perfect of infallible. Great lesson and great movie!

This channel has the history wrong there. Mike actively fought AGAINST using Bohemian Rhapsody as the song they were jamming to. Penelope Spheeris wanted to use Queen and Mike said it was "old" and young people would think it was lame. At the premiere, when people cheered at the scene, then he admitted "ok, I'm glad we went with that song." He was difficult about using it, not about putting it in. He always gets way too much credit.

[@xtravagentk1275]

@@Makeshift_Mulder You actually have it mixed up. Mike Myers says the complete opposite of what you're saying here about Bohemian Rhapsody.

I was a part time "Garth" impersonator in the early 90s and I tried out to be the extra in WW2. I didn't get the gig but they hired me to stand in for Dana when they produced the trailer at Paramount. When the prop guy brought out the guitar and amp for Mike to play I helped him (I'm a guitar player) he needed to replace the amp and he didn't know how to tune the guitar so I tuned it. So, Mike and Dana do their bit and knock the guitar out of tune and between the two of them they couldn't re tune the guitar... The prop guy pointed to me and had me come over. Dana wanted nothing to do with me (jerk) but Mike stayed in character and asked me if I could wail. I nervously said yes I can wail... so he said "Ok, so tune the guitar... and wail!" which I did till the AD came over and told me to stop. It was all surreal and I have never been on a movie set again (it's very boring).

Did you tune it to itself or accurately tune it to E? The latter can be hard without a reference note. Anyway I worked on the location shoot of Almost Famous (dreamworks) in san diego. Was a vehicle extra because I owned a cool custom hearse, they never used it but I moved it around alot. Except for the great food, what a shitty way to make a living. And even the guy riding a bicycle passing out bottled water, has a college degree and is waiting for any chance at a break. Several times I was referred to as a "goya" right to my face.

They called me and threatened to call the cops saying the clothing was worth over $1000!! (an old aerosmith shirt and a worn out pendleton?) I drove back over there and dropped them off. I won't even go into what happened the day before!! The movie biz sucks unless your a star with a trailer. I got offered an extra gig a couple months later I told them to rip up my picture and leave me alone..

@@skydogstudio thats funny. They gave us period correct fake plastic license plates, to cover our real ones. I was told all have unique characters to prevent continuity errors. We were supposed to return them when leaving the set, accidentally drove off with mine on the last day of shooting. Still have it in a drawer somewhere. The guy who was director of cinematography, was John Toll. He had recently won oscars back to back for legends of the fall and braveheart so he commanded a lot of respect. What cracked me up was instead of saying "lights, camera, action" he said "may we? Lights... and... rolling" I kept thinking of this old joke about a girl named mary asking a guy to dance, but she then refuses cuz she doesnt dance with guys who talk like Elmer Fudd.

[@lucisferre6361]

I never saw The Love Guru. After your review I am comfortable thinking that I never shall. Thanks!

[@_IAmLukeEdwards]

I’m going to make a bold prediction: I can see Mike Myers winning an Oscar as an older actor. He’s very underrated as a dramatic actor and I can see him having a late career renaissance. I think his comedy days are done, sadly, but I don’t think we can write him off just yet.

[@Serevarno]

In these trying times, we need a new Austin Powers movie.

[@parkerpshebnisky1051]

But the guy who mini-me died so would not be as funny!

[@Serevarno]

MAD GRUMPYMAN I bet Myers could do that in a new AP movie.

[@watercolourmark]

Do you remember when Eddie Murphy and Steve Martin made that film, and no one told them they weren’t funny anymore? You are basically asking to be poked in the eye. Better than have him set up to fail on a big fake comedy, have him focus his serious acting chops on the real Austin Powers. Mike would be perfect to play Harvey Weinstein. And years ago this would have involved makeup and piling on the pounds, today he could role out of bed and do it - better, he could do it in his sleep.

[@JohnDoe-wq5eu]

Last I heard it sounded like the new Austin Powers would center more on the Seth Green character. so there's that.

The commentary had me crying in pain from laughing so hard! The shrek stuff omg! 😂

[@tmf866]

I don't think he needs a "comeback" - he's not forgotten and despite any amount of bad reputation in Hollywood the population hasn't turned on him. If he chooses a role and does a great job (he's certainly capable of that, it's just a matter of choosing good material) and it's popular he could be an overnight sensation... again. Incidentally I'm gay, and I never felt any of his stuff was homophobic, and I don't think any of my gay friends did either. I suspect he's one of the few people who can tell gay jokes and be laughing with us instead of at us. (Adam Sandler, despite anything else you may want to say about him, is also one of the few who could and did do that, and they did work together.)

[@Labyrinth1010]

Great comments!

[@codacreator6162]

Thanks for sharing! Mike Myers seems like a great guy and he is a great comedian. I think Robert Downey, Jr. proved once and for all that comebacks are possible. In a big way. But I think there is at least one requirement: humility. Mel Gibson never truly got why his expulsion from entertainment didn't just go away. I think because it's clear he never really felt he was wrong. RDJ only needed a few years off to realize he'd screwed up, royally, and that forgiveness demanded atonement. He did it. So did John Travolta, though his wore off pretty quick.

[@SweetLilWren]

Great use of the word incidentally thank you

[@GlennDavey]

6:46 You're talking about how we didn't understand all the jokes as kids when I just now realise why Austin Powers was drinking all those cans of Tab when he was feeling homesick: Coca-Cola recently announced they're ending production of Tab, a very old drink and now-unpopular beverage. So I'm still noticing details in these movies!

[@ipissed]

Don't worry, an old can of Tab will still taste like shit for years to come.

[@davenhla]

"Mike is difficult on set, and hard to work with. Why can't he just sit back and let us make our fair to middling b list movies like we want to?" - Hollywood, probably. Know who else was "difficult to work with"? Robin Williams. See also : Jim Carrey I hope Mike can just stay Mike and do his thing.

[@troystutsman1400]

davenhla What I find interesting is that he may have been difficult to work with but I never heard any of them complain while he was making them Millions...! Most good actors are difficult to work with because they develop a vision and feel for what their character is like, how they act and respond to things, along with how the story plot should progress...! If the writers, directors, and executives attempt to change those visions in any way, then of course the actors are going to get pissed and be difficult...! People need to remember that it’s their ass up there on the big screen...! If an actor’s performance comes across as lacking or down right bad, then they pay the price for it and it can effect their future acting careers...! What’s even worse is when an actor gives their all and puts out an amazing performance but the movie is looked upon as being bad because of poor directing or a poorly written story line as these things can effect an actor’s future too...!
