Richard Kind remembered another classic George Clooney prank in a new interview

Kind said that once Clooney snuck his Oscar and one of his SAG Awards into Kind's luggage, and he didn’t realize until he was going through airport security

Kind and Clooney became friends in the late 1980s when they starred in a failed pilot together

Richard Kind and George Clooney have a very special friendship.

Kind, 68, reflected on one of his friend’s practical jokes on the June 9 episode of the Still Here Hollywood Podcast with Steve Kmetko. The host remembered that he recently had Noah Wyle (who starred with Clooney, 64, on ER) on his podcast, and he told a story about Clooney and Kind’s shenanigans.

He added, “But you will not hear them from me. You won't hear them from me for a couple of reasons. Number one, George gets all the publicity he needs. I need a little more. So that's the first thing. The second thing is nobody tells them funnier than George.” Kind called out the time Clooney used Kind’s cat’s litter box, which “has been told over and over again.”

But Kind went back on his word and told a story of a practical joke he had “forgotten” until recently, joking that it was winning his own SAG Award this year as a member of the cast that reminded him.

“One night, years ago, I have to go to Vegas for some publicity,” the Mad About You star remembered. He was staying at Clooney’s old Los Angeles house, where he often stayed when he visited the city at the time. “So I'm staying at his place, and I have my suitcase downstairs and waiting for the car to come.”
