Announcer: Our special guest today is currently starring in the tv series My Secret Identity. Please welcome Jerry O'Connell.

(Jerry enters)

Announcer: Welcome to the show again.

Jerry: Thank you.

Announcer: So, what have you been doing since the last time you were on?

Jerry: I did an episode of Charles In Charge which I did in LA. And that was a lot of fun: Scott Baio, Nicole Eggert, Josie Davis, and Alex Kalinsky ... oh, and Willie Ames. It was a lot of fun. I got to fly out to LA, so.

Announcer: That's cool. Where do you tape My Secret Identity?

Jerry: That's taped in Toronto, but I live in Manhattan.

Announcer: Oh really?

Jerry: I've lived there my entire life.

Announcer: So California was like a change to you.

Jerry: Yeah. It was fun.

Announcer: You're really tan. Did you get to fly out?

Jerry: No, this isn't from LA. I'm staying on Long Island right now.

Announcer: You're really catching the rays. You are so dark.

Jerry: Thank you.

Announcer: That's cool.

Jerry: Thank you.

Announcer: I think maybe we should hang out so I can get a tan too. So... You're still going to be working on My Secret Identity.

Jerry: Yeah. We're going to start filming.

Announcer: On My Secret Identity you play Andrew?

Jerry: Yes.

Announcer: He has, like, superpowers?

Jerry: Yes, he has superpowers. He can fly. Well, yeah, he can fly. He has superspeed and he's invulnerable.

Announcer: Wow. If you could have, like, one superpower what would it be?

Jerry: Umm... to pick up any girl I want. To be able to say, "Hey, come here."

Announcer: Well, that's great.

Jerry: No, no, no. Actually, I think I'd like to fly. I think everybody would like to fly.

Announcer: You know, I think I'd like this to.

Jerry: Yeah.

Announcer: You know, we've got a clip of your show right now. So, why don't we take a look as they play it.

insert clip of "Look Before You Leap" -- the scene with Andrew flying up to save Dr. J. from the falling power box and Mrs. Schellenbach getting the flight on tape.

Announcer: When they make you fly on the show, how do they do it?

Jerry: They put me in this big harnass and they attach it to a pole and they put counter-weights on the other side and they fly me up.

Announcer: And how do they make you go really fast?

Jerry: They just speed up the film.

Announcer: That guy you were working with, the Professor. His name is Derek McGrath, right?

Jerry: Yeah.

Announcer: And he looks like a really fun guy to hang out with.

Jerry: Yeah, he is a lot of fun.

Announcer: Is he fun to work with?

Jerry: Oh yeah. He's a great guy. He's a lot of fun.

Announcer: Is there anything about him that really annoys you?

Jerry: Nothing that annoys me. We get along great. But, once, he was over at my house. We had just went ice-skating. And he was over at my house with my dad, and as he was walking back to his car, on flat ground, he tripped and broke his ankle. On flat ground. How does that happen? So, I've sorta been making fun of him for awhile for that.

Announcer: I don't know if you should have said that, because I know this is really a coincidence, but he happens to be here with us right now. Why don't we bring him out? Let's hear it for Derek McGrath.

(Derek enters)

Derek: Ooooh... so. (shakes hands with announcer).

Announcer: Hi, Derek.

Derek: (shakes hands with Jerry) Nice to see you again.

Announcer: Derek, you should have heard what Jerry was saying.

Jerry: I didn't say anything. I swear, I didn't say anything.

Derek: Oh. What didn't he say about me?

Announcer: I've got an idea. Before we tell you, why don't you tell us something about Jerry. Just keep in mind that he was talking about you.

Derek: (turns to Jerry) You were talking about me?

Jerry: I was not talking about you.

Derek: Well, all right. Then I won't tell them about the time... well, you know those little electirc cars...

Jerry: (begs) No!

Derek: You know those little electric cars with the remote controls...

Jerry: (whispers to McGrath) I'll tell you...

Derek: Well, he had one that he had suped-up. I think he got one of the transportation guys to get it about seventy miles an hour or something like that. Well, he was playing around. We have in the lobby of the studio a large plate glass window. His father and I happened to be walking in the studio and we turn around the corner and suddenly we see a little electric car smash through one side of the lobby right through the glass and right through the other side. And then Jerry's head stick around the corner like What the?. And he'd smashed right through the window. That was only one thing.

Jerry: It wasn't my fault. It went out of control.

Derek: I could tell you a lot of stuff about Jerry.

Announcer: So, Derek, what do you like to do when you're not working? Aside from hang out with Jerry and breaking everything.

Derek: I like to do a lot of things. I'm an addict of the movies. I really like to see a lot of movies. I started learning how to play Classical piano. I'm just learning how to play (?). That's the one that goes da-da-de-da-de-da-da-daa--da-da-da-daa.

Jerry: (to off camera) Can you do that?

(from off camera we hear the song bit being played)

Jerry: not bad

(everyone claps)

Derek: Bravo.

Announcer: You also like to cook, don't you?

Derek: I love to cook. That's something I have a great passion for.

Announcer: You know what? I heard that you actually brought some of your stuff with you. Haven't you?

Derek: Ya, ya.

Announcer: Just for that, Jerry, we're going to make you eat some.

Jerry: No. No. No! Please no!

Announcer: We have to go to commercial now. But when we come back, why don't we have a taste test or something.

Jerry: I'm not eating his food. I am not eating his food!
