Tim Meadows: Real-life Ladies Man?

In adapting his popular Saturday Night Live skit, Ladies Man, for the big screen, Tim Meadows lets it all hang out — and we mean literally. Throughout the movie, opening Friday, his alter ego, smooth-talking Leon Phelps, drops trou and gets quite a awestruck reaction from bystanders. So that begs the question: Does art imitate life?

"It's fiction," Meadows laughs, adding, "It's up to the the viewer to imagine how big or small Leon's penis is, but it's beautiful. That's the thing you have to remember."

The SNL vet, who has joined the cast of NBC's The Michael Richards Show, insists it's not only size that attracts women to Leon. "Its like an aura that just exists," explains Meadows. "He is loyal to his friends; he's a hard-working dude; he enjoys his life."

And although Leon gets it on with several women in the film, his portrayer says he was a true, um, gentleman on the set. In fact, he took the time to ask each of his female co-stars, including Tiffani Thiessen and Karyn Parsons "'How do you want to grab me? Touch me?' So it became more about me. I said, 'If you want to grab my butt, you can.'"

Meadows — who says his decision to leave SNL after nine years was "hard" — claims he would be more than happy to bring Leon back to the small screen from time to time. As it is, he popped in during the SNL's season premiere, last Saturday, in full Leon regalia. But Meadows has bigger ambitions: "I could guest host," he offers. "Get that word out there!"
