Steve Carell’s 60 Minutes Interview Had Mail Carriers Praising The Actor – Looper

Steve Carell’s interview on “60 Minutes” wasn’t the only time he talked about his time as a mail carrier. He also discussed this on “The Ellen Show,” where he talked about how he worked this tough job during the holidays. “It was pre-Internet … you know, big thick heavy catalogs and the mailman had to deliver them,” he said. This brought inspiration to YouTube users like @gearofduty2012 who wrote, “I was a bad mailman too, this fills me with hope.” However, Carell expanded his connection to his fans as he wasn’t just a mailman back in the day.

When Carell was on “Conan,” he spoke about other gigs he took before becoming a successful actor. One of these was a job at a local store. “I worked in the produce department of a supermarket,” he revealed. “I was bad at pretty much every aspect of the job.” Naturally, Carell moved on to something else, a position he thought he might be better at, and worked as a telemarketer. “I sold wine by phone,” he remembered. At least with this job, Carell was given a script, although that proved not to help much. “You do have your cards, the varietal characteristics of this [wine].” However, he quickly again proved to himself that he was in the wrong profession. “It was one day of my life,” he admitted.
