Now, before we started rolling, we were talking about the ability to cry on cue. Right. And we thought maybe we would have a little cry off.
What's up, guys? Nicky Novak here in the Young Hollywood studio with a very thirsty Ken Marino.
Yes. I say that because every time you're here, you're drinking something. I've to drink something. Usually it's the coffee. I like a lot of coffee. I like a lot of coffee. It's a problem, actually. My wife has warned me to, uh, stop. She has. Don't let's we make it divorced.
So, Burning Love. Mr. Mark Orlando, your alter romantic alter ego.
Yeah, he's just looking for love.
This season on Burning Love. Mark Orlando is used to feeling the heat of fire, but now he's looking for someone to ignite the flames of love. I know I have a lot to give to a partner. I just want someone to give it to every night. And in the morning and sometimes in the shower. It is a spoof on many reality shows. Maybe one in particular?
Sure. It might mirror one in particular. Sure. Quite closely. Maybe.
Do you watch that reality, that particular reality show?
Yes, I do. I, I, you know, for a while I was saying I, you know, it's kind of a guilty pleasure and I watch it kind of ironically, but I, but I've, but I've yeah, but I've, uh, but I've, uh, come to realize and I've, uh, that, uh,
The Bachelor? You watch it.
That I, I just, I just watch it and I love it.
Your wife wrote the show.
My wife wrote the show. Um, and
She made you a firefighter.
She made me a firefighter, interestingly enough. Yeah, I, I need to talk to her about that.
A shirtless fireman. So did you buff up for the, for the role?
I felt like I had to.
You did.
I felt like I had to, uh, like, uh, lose weight and, um, work out, because there were a number of scenes. There's one scene where I'm meditating in like a speedo.
What was the regime, the workout, fitness?
Uh, starve yourself. Okay. For like two weeks.

You got your, uh, you know, you just do your pull-ups, uh, your push-ups, you got your squats, you know, squats really, you burn a lot of calories, you know, you get your core work in there. Got the core work. A lot of burpees. You know, keep your heart rate up. Not a lot of downtime. You know.
The fat burning zone.
That's right. Keep get the fat burning zone. Good stuff.
Oh hey, wait, I heard something about Adam Scott who is in Burning Love. Yeah. You had a viewing party or something with Adam Scott and, uh,
And his wife Naomi and Eric and myself are, were all fans of, uh, the Bachelor. And so, um, we kept talking about getting together and watching it. And so we got together and watched the finale and they came over and offered us roses and keys to the, uh, the overnight room.
Oh, interesting. Did you take them up on that?
We did not take the keys.
You didn't. You wanted to keep the friendship intact.
Yeah, I just keep it, I just keep it like, we just wanna be friends.
Let's get to know Mark Orlando. What are some of his Twitter accounts? First of all, we love his Twitter handle. It's Burning Love Mark. Yeah. Just tried yoga, WTF? Yeah. Yeah. How did that go for you, Mark?
Uh, I, uh, Mark's not here. Mark's I have to, I mean, I it's it's a whole regimen. I got to do some push-ups. I got to do some lat work. I gotta work my pecs, my tris, my buys. I gotta look at pictures of like lovely ladies for a little while.
You do. Well, you did also write, I'm looking for my soulmate, I hope she's hot.
Yeah.
You also wrote fluorescent lights in bathrooms are so gross.
Yes. Yeah. Mark did say. He doesn't like that. No. It's unflattering lights. No, it's terrible for your skin.
My favorite is he's he's very into Bublé. He is. He loves Bublé. I think one of 'em just says on Pandora. Bublé on Pandora exclamation point, exclamation point. Now, before we started rolling, we were talking about the ability to cry on cue. Right. And we thought maybe we would have a little cry off. Right. Are you game?
Yeah.
Can you actually make yourself cry on cue?
I'm gonna try.
Okay, I'm gonna try to. Are you ready?
I already started.
Go. I don't know if I could do it. I think my lip is quivering. I'm just because an acting coach told me this once and I've brought it up before. An acting coach told me if you clench your butt cheeks, you can make yourself cry.
I need to clench your butt cheek. I think your wife would hate me if that were to happen.
We's doing it. I can feel him right. I can't get the tears out of my eyes. Oh, that's good. I think that was Burning Love Mark's version of a cry. I can't get the tears out. Get him out. That is awesome. Where can we find it? Where do we see him? Um,
