WEBVTT - CHRISTIE WHELAN - We Interrupt This Broadcast - Comedian

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:01.760
<v Speaker 1>It's in the news today, but it was actually on

0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:03.640
<v Speaker 1>TV Reload the podcast last week.

0:00:03.680 --> 0:00:04.040
<v Speaker 2>Airline.

0:00:04.559 --> 0:00:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Welcome TV Reload listeners. My name is Benjamin Norris and

0:00:07.840 --> 0:00:10.479
<v Speaker 1>this is your podcast to get all the inside goss

0:00:10.560 --> 0:00:13.280
<v Speaker 1>on the popular TV shows you may be watching from

0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:16.560
<v Speaker 1>around the world. Undeniably, our TV sets are a major

0:00:16.600 --> 0:00:19.320
<v Speaker 1>part of our home entertainment and very little is known

0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:22.400
<v Speaker 1>about how our favorite shows get made. Each episode, I

0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:24.480
<v Speaker 1>find guests that want to dive just that little bit

0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:27.159
<v Speaker 1>deeper into the shows they're currently making, so that you

0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:30.000
<v Speaker 1>can hear all their exclusive stories and gain access to

0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:32.720
<v Speaker 1>the biggest names in Australian television. I want to thank

0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:35.760
<v Speaker 1>you for downloading or subscribing to this podcast. I love

<v Speaker 1>hearing your feedback, so make sure you leave a comment

0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:41.120
<v Speaker 1>on your chosen podcast platform and I will make sure

0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:43.160
<v Speaker 1>you feel as included in the production of this show

0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:45.839
<v Speaker 1>as I possibly can. On today's episode, I have a

0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:48.800
<v Speaker 1>fun chat with someone I'm a little bit obsessed with.

0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:52.800
<v Speaker 1>This week it is Christy Willan. Christy is an Australian

0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:57.040
<v Speaker 1>performer who has worked extensively in musical theater as an actress,

0:00:57.120 --> 0:01:00.520
<v Speaker 1>dancer and singer. She has also appeared on television shows

0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:03.840
<v Speaker 1>and in films throughout her career. However, I want to

0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:07.560
<v Speaker 1>talk to her today about her latest sketch comedy series.

0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:11.680
<v Speaker 1>We interrupt this broadcast, which starts seven point thirty Tuesday,

0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:14.280
<v Speaker 1>the twenty eighth February on Channel seven, and then you'll

0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:16.400
<v Speaker 1>be able to catch up on that with seven plus.

0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:20.560
<v Speaker 1>This series is hilarious, a fast and furious and long

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:24.679
<v Speaker 1>overdue sketch comedy series which reboots and revitalizes a long

0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:28.520
<v Speaker 1>standing and near forgotten Australian tradition taking the piss out

0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:32.520
<v Speaker 1>of everything, including yourself. And this show mostly focuses on

0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:36.399
<v Speaker 1>iconic TV shows currently on all the freeware networks. No

0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:40.160
<v Speaker 1>one is spared. I will ask Christy about the show

0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:44.000
<v Speaker 1>and how it came about, if sketches were improvised or

0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:47.880
<v Speaker 1>where they completely scripted? How much Reality TV did Christy

0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:51.000
<v Speaker 1>really need to watch prior to filming. Whilst we will

0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:53.960
<v Speaker 1>get some exclusives on the new series, including some behind

0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:57.200
<v Speaker 1>the scenes which I'm sure you guys are gonna love. However,

0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:00.280
<v Speaker 1>let's bring Christy into the podcast and I really hope

0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:04.400
<v Speaker 1>you check out this series and enjoyed this episode. Hi, Christy,

0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:06.760
<v Speaker 1>thank you so much for coming on the podcast.

0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:09.640
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for chatting about this new show.

0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:12.919
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'm a huge fan of yours. I've been loving

0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:15.600
<v Speaker 1>you in pretty much everything that you've done. I've watched

0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:18.000
<v Speaker 1>you in theater, I've watched you in movies and in television.

0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:19.960
<v Speaker 1>You basically need a restraining order against me.

0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:23.040
<v Speaker 2>Well, let's see how today goes. Now, think about it.

0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:29.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't think anyone nailed their reincarnation of the Muriel's

0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:32.959
<v Speaker 1>wedding characters as effortlessly as you did. I don't know

0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:35.280
<v Speaker 1>why I'm starting the podcast with this, but I want

0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:38.000
<v Speaker 1>to know did Sophie Lee get to see you in

0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:39.880
<v Speaker 1>that role and did she give you any feedback?

0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:43.359
<v Speaker 3>She did, and I was like I had literally stolen

0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:47.760
<v Speaker 3>her performance for the film in every every syllable that

0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:50.000
<v Speaker 3>she did. So I was scared that she was there

0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:52.160
<v Speaker 3>because she I thought she was going to be like Leaf,

0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:56.680
<v Speaker 3>but she was, like she was just so generous and

0:02:57.040 --> 0:02:59.960
<v Speaker 3>nice and like, yeah, it was just amazing to me

0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:02.359
<v Speaker 3>because she's a fool genius she.

0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Is, and she's actually like a really really smart woman.

0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:07.919
<v Speaker 1>I've actually met her a couple of times. Very intelligent

0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:08.960
<v Speaker 1>lady but also.

0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:11.440
<v Speaker 2>An artist, and like, yeah, she done it. All.

0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:13.680
<v Speaker 1>Well, I just want to also say I was so

0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:16.760
<v Speaker 1>nervous when I heard about this sketch comedy show coming

0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:19.000
<v Speaker 1>back because it's been a long time since we'k seen

0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:21.520
<v Speaker 1>sketch comedy and the last few times we've seen it

0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:25.080
<v Speaker 1>it was cringe you know where the latest one is

0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Comedy Gold, Like it is so funny.

0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 3>That's so cool, because I agree like the thought of

0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:34.880
<v Speaker 3>sketch comedy in Australia, you know, back, like when you

0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:38.400
<v Speaker 3>think of Full Frontal and Fast Forward, you know, they

0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:41.200
<v Speaker 3>were amazing shows, but it has been a while since

0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:45.760
<v Speaker 3>we've seen one that was legitimately making people loll.

0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:47.840
<v Speaker 2>So I was like, oh god, I don't know.

0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:50.480
<v Speaker 3>But as soon as I got there and saw the

0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:53.520
<v Speaker 3>cast of actors and read some of the scripts and like, oh,

0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:54.720
<v Speaker 3>I think we're on a winner here.

0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:56.680
<v Speaker 2>This cast are brilliant.

0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:59.520
<v Speaker 1>But how old would you have been when you know,

0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Comedy Company, Fast Forward, Full Frontal? How old would you

0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:04.440
<v Speaker 1>have been when those shows were in their prime?

0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:07.160
<v Speaker 3>Well, I was a baby of my family, so you know,

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:09.760
<v Speaker 3>like I was watching things that I shouldn't have been watching.

0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:12.400
<v Speaker 2>So I'm sure I was too young to have seen.

0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:15.320
<v Speaker 3>Them, but I did, and I remember there was one

0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:16.880
<v Speaker 3>called Let the Blood Run Free?

0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:18.080
<v Speaker 2>Do you remember that one?

0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:21.080
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely? And funnily enough, I've just been talking with Julia

0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Zimiro about that exact same show on yesterday's episode.

0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:28.640
<v Speaker 3>Yes, well, yeah, that one not just sticks in my mind.

0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:31.200
<v Speaker 3>It was just like sort of like way out there,

0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:33.760
<v Speaker 3>you know, stuff we don't really see on Australian TV

0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:36.520
<v Speaker 3>that much. So I just remember that vividly. And then

0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 3>in my career, I've got to work with Sean mccarloff,

0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:44.840
<v Speaker 3>Gena Riley, Mark Downey, Steve Wizad, you know, and I

0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:49.119
<v Speaker 3>always am asking them about those days because they wrote

0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:51.080
<v Speaker 3>all those sketches themselves perform them.

0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:52.360
<v Speaker 2>They were all so.

0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:55.720
<v Speaker 3>Incredible and funny and I'm not obviously comparing us to them,

0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:57.640
<v Speaker 3>but I'm you know, it was just cool to be

0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:00.320
<v Speaker 3>a part of a new generation making sketch come in

0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:00.920
<v Speaker 3>this country.

0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:03.200
<v Speaker 1>If you had said this to me before I'd watched

0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:05.440
<v Speaker 1>the first two episodes of this series, I would have

0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:08.560
<v Speaker 1>been like, how very dare you? I Honestly, the first

0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:11.760
<v Speaker 1>episode of People Listening, I was lolling and I was like,

0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:14.680
<v Speaker 1>this is good, this is quite good. Second episode, I

0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:18.320
<v Speaker 1>was crying. I was literally on the floor. You'd been

0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:22.520
<v Speaker 1>the Kadashians, you'd been in Survivor, you'd ripped all of

0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:25.400
<v Speaker 1>these amazing characters. But it wasn't just that we were

0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:30.040
<v Speaker 1>seeing someone walk through the motions. It's very clever and yeah,

0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:31.240
<v Speaker 1>you're so funny.

0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Thank you.

0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:34.719
<v Speaker 3>I mean again, I wasn't comparing myself to those guys,

0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:38.400
<v Speaker 3>but you know, I just I it was just like

0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:42.320
<v Speaker 3>a really fun job, and there were days where I

0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:44.800
<v Speaker 3>couldn't get through it because it was so funny to me.

0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:47.880
<v Speaker 3>We did just get It's called Horn Bay High and

0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:50.600
<v Speaker 3>it's we did a full day of it, and we

0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:53.800
<v Speaker 3>were all dressed as like teens, you know, funky teens,

0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:55.680
<v Speaker 3>and it's like, I don't know, if you get the

0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:58.640
<v Speaker 3>opportunity to go back to high school. We all went

0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:02.800
<v Speaker 3>there and somehow we became immature and one of the

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:05.599
<v Speaker 3>guys became the hot guy at school. You know, it

0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:07.880
<v Speaker 3>just we went back to our teen years when we

0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:11.400
<v Speaker 3>did it, and that day I cried and cried with laughter.

0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:14.720
<v Speaker 3>So I don't know if any of those sketches in

0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:16.839
<v Speaker 3>the first two episodes, but I love those ones.

0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.840
<v Speaker 1>I haven't seen them yet, but they do sound very

0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:21.920
<v Speaker 1>funny and I think One of the things about this

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.479
<v Speaker 1>show which really got me is isn't it fun to

0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:27.560
<v Speaker 1>just do dress ups and be silly? Like have we

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:30.839
<v Speaker 1>kind of forgotten to do this? And watching you guys

0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:33.000
<v Speaker 1>do it as well is kind of cathartic in a

0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:33.440
<v Speaker 1>weird way.

0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:35.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Well, those Kardashians.

0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:37.520
<v Speaker 3>We've spent a long time in hair and makeup for

0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:41.719
<v Speaker 3>those Kardashians, I tell you, And we wore skims like

0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:44.520
<v Speaker 3>a version of skims as our costumes, and we had

0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:46.680
<v Speaker 3>to have the false nails put on. And let me

0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:49.560
<v Speaker 3>tell you, I have newfound respect for those Kardashians who

0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:53.520
<v Speaker 3>are pulling skims up and down with nails longer than

0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:56.760
<v Speaker 3>they should be. I think, you know, we're really underestimating

0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:58.359
<v Speaker 3>those girls and what they're capable of.

0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:00.040
<v Speaker 1>You know what I also thought was, I think, I

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.360
<v Speaker 1>think it's really hilarious how little needs to be changed,

0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:06.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, to these real shows for them to be

0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:09.640
<v Speaker 1>fucking hilarious. Like exactly, it's literally like you're you're doing

0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:12.600
<v Speaker 1>the exact same things that these shows actually do. Very

0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:16.360
<v Speaker 1>little dialogue's changed, but it is brilliant, like it's so

0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:17.120
<v Speaker 1>well done.

0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:20.120
<v Speaker 3>Because a lot of these reality shows have become parodies

0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:23.400
<v Speaker 3>of themselves, you know, like I remember that first season

0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:25.600
<v Speaker 3>of Maths. You know it was it was like the

0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:28.520
<v Speaker 3>first season of anything Big Brother Idle. You know, we

0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:30.960
<v Speaker 3>didn't know what to expect, and then as time goes on,

0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:32.720
<v Speaker 3>people do know what to expect, and we need a

0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:34.320
<v Speaker 3>villain and we need it whatever, so.

0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:37.560
<v Speaker 2>They do become sort of a parody on themselves.

0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:40.240
<v Speaker 1>You know how much of these shows did you have

0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:42.200
<v Speaker 1>to go back and rewatch, because like, you're on nearly

0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:44.320
<v Speaker 1>all these skits, Like I don't know how many skits

0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:46.080
<v Speaker 1>you thought you were going to be in, but obviously

0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:47.680
<v Speaker 1>the director and the editor fell in love with you

0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:49.920
<v Speaker 1>because you're in all of them. And then I was like,

0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:52.200
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, this poor woman's had to like sit

0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:55.160
<v Speaker 1>there and rewatch every show that's currently on television and

0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.160
<v Speaker 1>every show that's ever been on television.

0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.840
<v Speaker 3>Well, there was some that like what is that? I

0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:04.080
<v Speaker 3>can't even think Game of Thrones. It's like there's a

0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:06.480
<v Speaker 3>Game of Thrones on. I've never watched Game of Thrones,

0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:10.119
<v Speaker 3>And before we were filming this, I still hadn't watched

0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:10.480
<v Speaker 3>any of it.

0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:13.040
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, so, who is this person? And

0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:16.640
<v Speaker 2>who is Carl Lacy or whatever my character.

0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:19.400
<v Speaker 3>Everyone was furious at me because I had no idea

0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:22.239
<v Speaker 3>and so they were shouting at me what I needed

0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:24.800
<v Speaker 3>to do. So I was just youtubing a few references

0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:26.880
<v Speaker 3>on the day for that one, but most of them,

0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:27.480
<v Speaker 3>you know, like.

0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:30.080
<v Speaker 2>Love Island, I was before I had a baby. I

0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:32.520
<v Speaker 2>was a regular on the Love Island train. You know.

0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:34.959
<v Speaker 2>I loved it. Now I don't have the time, sadly,

0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:37.440
<v Speaker 2>but I'm a bit of a and I hate watch

0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:38.320
<v Speaker 2>the Kardashians.

0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:40.760
<v Speaker 3>I can't help it, Like I can't stand it, and

0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:42.000
<v Speaker 3>yet I can't turn it off.

0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:45.000
<v Speaker 2>So look, let's be honest. I've done all the research.

0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:48.640
<v Speaker 1>You've been doing research for years without even realizing that

0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:49.840
<v Speaker 1>you'd be doing.

0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:50.760
<v Speaker 2>Do you.

0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:52.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to say what my favorite is because I

0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:54.200
<v Speaker 1>just feel like I need to. But like, I want

0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:57.320
<v Speaker 1>to know who you enjoyed the most being able to rip.

0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:00.000
<v Speaker 1>But I thought it was so subtle. But the Australia

0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:04.360
<v Speaker 1>Survivor character Chevn that you play is so funny and

0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:07.880
<v Speaker 1>it's not even in the dialogue. It's actually the faces

0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:11.200
<v Speaker 1>that you're pulling, because they're the same faces basically the

0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:14.720
<v Speaker 1>people pull on that show. And it feels real.

0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:18.200
<v Speaker 3>What I like, I don't even remember who Chevorn is.

0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:20.680
<v Speaker 3>They all had a name. We're doing like twenty people

0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:23.560
<v Speaker 3>a day. I couldn't tell you Chevonne in a lineup?

0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:25.000
<v Speaker 3>What was Chavonne doing?

0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:28.360
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, I have to laugh because you know how long

0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:29.320
<v Speaker 1>ago did you film this?

0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:31.080
<v Speaker 2>At the end of last year?

0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:37.160
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, fur months ago? So Chevorn, I'm going

0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:41.120
<v Speaker 1>to tell you that. So Chevron is this Irish contestant

0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:44.640
<v Speaker 1>that's in Survivor and she's worked out a secret on

0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:47.679
<v Speaker 1>how not to get chucked off the not to be

0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:51.200
<v Speaker 1>booted off the cast, and her secret is that her

0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:53.120
<v Speaker 1>name is Chavorn. And the rest of the cast is

0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:57.800
<v Speaker 1>so dumb they can't spell Chevorn. And so it's honestly,

0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:01.840
<v Speaker 1>I could not stop laughing at the spellings and the

0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:03.840
<v Speaker 1>way in which they tried to spell Chevorn. It was

0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:04.280
<v Speaker 1>just clever.

0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:07.640
<v Speaker 2>But it's true that I remember, like, being a younger,

0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:10.040
<v Speaker 2>me and my friends were going through the McDonald's drive

0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:11.840
<v Speaker 2>through and we saw the girl's.

0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:15.199
<v Speaker 3>Name tag said Chavorn, and we were like, oh my god, Sioban,

0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:18.520
<v Speaker 3>what a weird name, And so like it rings true

0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:21.199
<v Speaker 3>this ketch. I think that's probably why I could really

0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:22.680
<v Speaker 3>play that role because I've lived it.

0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:25.080
<v Speaker 2>Mcmack's drive through.

0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:28.400
<v Speaker 1>My best friend who I lived with for quite some time,

0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:29.679
<v Speaker 1>we were at the shops once and I was like,

0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:35.720
<v Speaker 1>that soup looks disgusting. Who eats Kilari? And she was like, says, Celery.

0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:40.040
<v Speaker 2>Were you an adult at this time?

0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:43.320
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I'm shamoul, But isn't it.

0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:46.200
<v Speaker 3>So horrendous when things like that happen and you know

0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:49.840
<v Speaker 3>it's Celery, but something in your brain just in that moment,

0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:52.920
<v Speaker 3>and then you fear that people think you're dumb forevermore.

0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:55.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to have to own it, though, because the

0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:57.800
<v Speaker 1>thing about stupid things that happened to me is I

0:10:58.440 --> 0:10:59.960
<v Speaker 1>know I should cover it up, and I know it's

0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:01.920
<v Speaker 1>should pretend that no one's ever seen it. But I

0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:05.120
<v Speaker 1>love telling people all the stupid shit that I do. Like,

0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:07.680
<v Speaker 1>I just think, come on, we've all got to have

0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:08.040
<v Speaker 1>a laugh.

0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:10.920
<v Speaker 3>If we can make people laugh with our stupidity, then

0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:12.079
<v Speaker 3>it's been for something.

0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:15.400
<v Speaker 1>I absolutely agree. Now, the scripts when they turned up,

0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:17.760
<v Speaker 1>did you have to be word perfect or were you

0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:20.480
<v Speaker 1>allowed to improvise or was it just circumstantial as to

0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:23.040
<v Speaker 1>what sickets you were sort of taking on board.

0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:24.360
<v Speaker 2>I think most of them.

0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:28.400
<v Speaker 3>We stayed pretty true to form because the writing was

0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:31.480
<v Speaker 3>so great, but we had lived a little bit. Like

0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:33.839
<v Speaker 3>one of the guys in the cast, Ben Russell, he

0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:37.640
<v Speaker 3>trained at Second City, you know where Steve Carell and

0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:38.640
<v Speaker 3>Kristen Wigan, the.

0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:40.880
<v Speaker 2>Amazing people trained in Chicago.

0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:46.120
<v Speaker 3>He's the most amazing improviser and he's just incredible. So

0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:48.480
<v Speaker 3>with people like Ben, you would just let him go

0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:49.920
<v Speaker 3>and we'd all just try.

0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:50.319
<v Speaker 2>And keep up.

0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Were you able to keep a straight face? Because I mean,

0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:55.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm watching you in a lot of these sketches and

0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:58.320
<v Speaker 1>kind of one of my favorite things about SNL is

0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:02.600
<v Speaker 1>where like mayor Rootolph or Wig would almost break because

0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:05.320
<v Speaker 1>you could see the sides of their mouth starting to

0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:07.240
<v Speaker 1>turn up, like the laugh is on its way. And

0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:09.720
<v Speaker 1>I did notice that in one of your sketches, and

0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:11.679
<v Speaker 1>it made me laugh just that little bit harder. But

0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:14.400
<v Speaker 1>on set, were you able to try and keep it together?

0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:15.720
<v Speaker 2>No? Absolutely not.

0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:20.040
<v Speaker 3>My favorite thing is at Blooper like I will watch

0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:22.640
<v Speaker 3>the extras and the office bloopers just.

0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:26.840
<v Speaker 2>Like regularly because watching people laugh when they're not supposed

0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:28.640
<v Speaker 2>to laugh is one of the best things ever.

0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:32.120
<v Speaker 3>So I think they should just release a bloopers episode,

0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:35.640
<v Speaker 3>because yeah, like, messing up lines and making each other

0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:38.080
<v Speaker 3>laugh is the out of joy of the job, and

0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:40.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure, I'm sure it's worth an episode in itself.

0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'm so glad that we've got to quickly talk

0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:45.560
<v Speaker 1>about this. I mean, honestly, I could talk to you

0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:47.480
<v Speaker 1>about this show all day. I hope that people get

0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:49.520
<v Speaker 1>a chance to see it. All the tags for this

0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:51.079
<v Speaker 1>chat will be at the start of the podcast and

0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:53.200
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the podcast. But everyone that comes on,

0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:55.440
<v Speaker 1>I ask them this one thing. What is something from

0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:58.640
<v Speaker 1>behind the scenes, like something that we won't see? Was

0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:02.240
<v Speaker 1>there anything ridiculous all crazy that happened behind the scenes

0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:03.080
<v Speaker 1>while you were making it?

0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:04.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, here's one.

0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:06.920
<v Speaker 3>So we had to for the Kardashians, we had to

0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:11.920
<v Speaker 3>wear colored contacts and this I was Chloe, and.

0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:14.720
<v Speaker 2>I wore some like green, I don't I don't even know.

0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:16.480
<v Speaker 2>It was very close to my own eye color.

0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:19.320
<v Speaker 3>But we had to put these colored contacts put in

0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:21.880
<v Speaker 3>and it was quite uncomfortable. And at the end of

0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:25.080
<v Speaker 3>the day one day I left and left with them

0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:28.000
<v Speaker 3>in and forgot about them. And I was in the

0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:31.520
<v Speaker 3>bar that night and I was like, God, my eye

0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:34.040
<v Speaker 3>is hurting, and I started just rubbing and rubbing and

0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:36.319
<v Speaker 3>rubbing and rubbing my eye and then went.

0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:39.920
<v Speaker 2>Fuck the fucking thing that I had rubbed.

0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:42.960
<v Speaker 3>I'd rubbed it like back into my brain and it

0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:46.239
<v Speaker 3>was too like and I was like panicking.

0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:48.839
<v Speaker 2>I had to go and get all this liquid to

0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:50.920
<v Speaker 2>flash out my eye and try and fish it out.

0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:53.920
<v Speaker 3>It took me forty five minutes of sticking my finger

0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:56.360
<v Speaker 3>in my eye anyway, got it out me in.

0:13:56.679 --> 0:13:59.480
<v Speaker 1>I love that. Yeah, it took you a bit of

0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:01.720
<v Speaker 1>time to some of these characters, so to speak.

0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:05.160
<v Speaker 2>Chloe is still with me somewhere deep in my in

0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:08.480
<v Speaker 2>my eye permanently there I can taste it. Yeah.

0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay, well I'm really looking I'm going to hit you

0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:13.640
<v Speaker 1>up on Socials to ask you, you know how everyone's

0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:15.640
<v Speaker 1>reacting to this because it comes out on Tuesday, and

0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:17.439
<v Speaker 1>I think you're going to just get be bomb parted

0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:18.080
<v Speaker 1>with people.

0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:20.920
<v Speaker 3>Everyone loves it, yeah, and has a laugh as you say,

0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:22.760
<v Speaker 3>life's too serious, too tough.

0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:25.040
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes just get dressed up and had a bit of

0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:25.440
<v Speaker 2>a laugh.

0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Mate. Thank you so much for your time. Thank you.

0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:27.920
<v Speaker 2>Thanks
