We are Thomas Lennon and Ben Garant from Reno 911! and Night at the Museum. Our new movie Hell Baby is out on VOD now & in theaters September 6th. AMA … With a TWIST!

You open up your front door and are met by Nicolas Cage in a Time Machine. He says to get in. Where do you go, what adventures do you have, and if you find yourself in a dire situation, do you get out in the...

Nic of Time?

Admit it, you loved wearing the short shorts on Reno 911.

It opened up a fan base of gropey older ladies that is still vibrant.

Was Riki Lindhome's vagina easy to work with?

What do you do with $240 worth of pudding?

Cool/Chill. In that order.

Just wanted to thank you guys for many, many hours of entertainment and many, many more to come.

You are truly comic geniuses.

Go fuck yourself.

jk. xoxoxoxox :)

Reno 911 was one of my favorite shows ever. Were there any special guests that were your particular favorites to work with?

Paul Rubens. George Lopez. Paul Rudd. Natasha Leggero. The Rock.

Porcupine Racetrack: The Movie. Think about it?

Baz Luhrman is in the middle of RUINING IT!!!!!!!! Ugh!!!!!!!

Were there any sexual mishaps on the set of Reno 911?

I might have got a semi one time during a pretend makeout with Wiegel. Please don't mention this to Kerri.

Did you use only your imagination while writing Reno 911, or have you also used (and altered) real situations that happend to the real Reno 911 Police Departement?

Real stories that police officers tell you to "use in your sketch show" are often VERY FUCKED UP. Like how it takes 12 shots from a shotgun to take down a dude on PCP, or how a dude got SPLIT IN HALF by a telephone pole. :)

Is there any chance we'll ever see a "The State" reunion again, either on stage or TV?

VERY likely.

If you were forced at gunpoint to watch Honey Boo Boo's mom to make love to Danny Devito, what Smiths song would you want in the background?

What's the backstory to the major cast change in Reno between seasons 5 and 6? Season 6 of Reno felt very, ummm, different.

VIDEO RESPONSE TO COME.

Just wanted to tell you guys that my 89 year old great aunt and I would always talk about Reno's new episodes after they aired, it was one of her favorite shows. Now when I watch it I'm always reminded of her. Just wanted to thank you guys for that.

Bless you.

How many pairs of dangles shorts do you personally own?

Down to one.

1. Can you offer some sort of retroactive financial reward for having the top positive Hell Baby review on Amazon?
2. Can Tom still fit into his "Froggy Jaboree" costume?
3. Prove it.
4. For how long after filming Hell Baby were you sweating po'boy?
5. Shinier skull: Corddry or Scheer?

1. Possible a long/lingering hug that violates certain Human Resources policies, and general decorum.

2. Gonna find out. Didn't really fit at the time.

3. See above.

4. 6 mos.

5. Scheer. Hands down.

Does anyone ever tell you guys to put on another pair of pants?

Also, Tom. You mouth raped Paul Rudd in "I Love You Man". Was it just me, or were there really sparks flying in that scene?

Yes. and Yes.

I once heard Michael Ian Black mention a show that never came to fruition called "Hey Neighbor"(I think), where in you guys would play all the members of a town.

Could you talk more about what the idea was or what happened to it?

How do you guys feel about mustaches and/or portable bagged liquor?

VIDEO RESPONSE TO COME.

When can we expect a Li'l Gary feature film?

Yes. Ben Foster is nibbling at the Scott Aukerman role.

TACOS TACOS TACOS TACOS!!!

YUM!

Can you describe Nick Swardson's penis in full detail?

See our New Yorker article on the subject.

Is it true that the reason you left the writing of Herbie: Fully Loaded, was a conflict between you and the movie company, about the car smiling?

it just seems like a bizzare thing to fight over, which is why I ask is there any truth behind that?

Yes. 100% true. Not sure why we were such dicks about it. But we were 100% convinced the car shouldn't smile. Seemed insane.

I loved watching Reno 911! growing up. Which was your most memorable episode?

Piping Hot Arby's.

What did you eat for breakfast?

Egg white omlette and the dreams of a mid sized unicorn.

What are your preferred styles of panties?

SPANX.

Which 2 standup comedians would be an even match for you two in a gladiatorial fight to the death, and why those two?

Riggle/Huebel.

Where is the Viva Variety DVD? Like literally, where is it? Can I burn a copy of it?

I would love to know as well. This is where my love for you guys began..as well as Reel Big Fish.

In my tv room. Maybe some scallywag will just upload the whole damn thing to Funny or Die one day...

I once had an awesomely long chat with Carlos Alazraqui outside a comedy club in Dallas, TX and when I asked him what the rest of the Reno 911 cast was like, he said "Thomas and Ben are two of the weirdest people ever, no joke. But they're funny as hell."

Is Ben Garant's wonky eye from Reno 911 real?

Video response to come.

Do you remember The State? I do. Does that make me old or you awesome?

Was that the "I'm crushing your head" guys?

I miss Johnny Blue Jeans

That name was inspired by a Gautier cologne called "Blue Jeans Man."

Did you pack it, or was that your natural Reno style bulge?

That's all me. Depending on the weather.

There is so much collaberation between members of "The State". Heck, even Robb Corddry, Rob Hubel, and Paul Scheer work together in "Children's Hospital" (along with another State alumn - Ken "I'm gonna dip my balls in it" Marino). What is it about your brand of comedy that encourages frequent collaberation between the same groups of people? And how do I go about becoming part of the team?

God damn I miss Reno 911! What was the best prank when on set?

Thomas Lennon: You're everywhere, always a memorable role in a film like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days or Hot Tub Time Machine, on TV, on stage, behind the scenes in voice work and screenwriting, and an author, so my question is: which do you enjoy most and why?

Ben Garant: Is there any truth to the rumors that the character of Vinny Santorini from Disney's Atlantis is based off of you?

To both: Which hat--screenwriter, director, or actor--did each of you enjoy wearing the most with Hell Baby? How did it feel presenting it at Sundance? What are you working on together now? Is there talk of a third Night at the Museum movie? How did that movie come to be?

You're both incredible, and thanks for doing this AMA!

VIDEO RESPONSE TO COME.

Wanna make a movie with me?

Are you Guillermo Del Toro? Yes. DM us.

Who is your master? Who is your apprentice?

The answer to both is Jim Carrey's Riddler.

Mr Lennon I loved little Gary on comedy bang bang. My question is when you go do comedy bang, what's it like to go see the onslaught of hilarious characters and not just laugh your ass off?

As you can see, most of it is already laughed off.

Hey guys! Really enjoyed your book on screenwriting.

How do you work past writing blocks?

My writing partner and I have finished the outline and that went well and we were on the same page, but getting to write the script together so far has been a bit difficult in terms of figuring out the dialogue.

VIDEO RESPONSE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dxb2agCz48I&feature=youtu.be

Hi guys! Would you rather carry around Danny devito greased up and naked on your back for a night or have Miley twerk nonstop on your junk for a week straight?

Tom, have you forgiven Paul Rudd for the taste of betrayal?

If we had won that Best Kiss Award, yes. But we didn't.

I LOVED Reno 911. Even the last season. What was your favorite subtle joke that you think most people didnt pick up on?

The full length tribute to Waiting for Godot.

I dont have a specific question I just wanted to say thank you for 20 years of laughs! I loved the State and everything you, and the various members, have been doing since.

Now that I think about it, can we expect any sort of television series or specials in the works from you guys in the near future? And I will be checking out Hell Baby once I get out of work! Thanks for the all the laughs!

PS. Thomas, I just saw a funny or die video you did with a friend of mine Matt, The Philathropist. Penisland.com, hahaha!

Video for those interested

Yes. We have an idea for a new tv show.

Thomas I love you!!!! Any hot m on m action with Michael Ian black in your future?

DM me.

What was your favorite line that you improvised for Reno 911?

Should I be a CNC machinist or a pro wrestler?

Amateur Wrestler.

I have no questions, just want to say you guys are great.

P.S. you're a whore, Thomas.

Gratzie.

Did you really enjoy wearing the little shorts? They did seem pretty comfortable.

They feel surprisingly good, yes. But not comfortable.

Are you guys fans of johnny cash? Btw reno does not have palm trees...
