We are Randall Park and Steve Agee. Ask Us Anything!

Hey  Randall, loved you as Asian Jim on the office! What was your favorite part of playing Kim Jong-Un?

Steve, what's it like to work with Sarah Silverman? Any funny stories you mind sharing?

Uh, yeah.

Sarah's one of my best friends. I've known her for...holy shit, probably 16 years now. And it's always great to work with your friends. That's a dream scenario. As far as funny stories... when I first started hanging out with Sarah, we got really stoned once, and she came up with the brilliant idea that she wanted to repaint her car, by herself. And went to a hardware store, and bought a bunch of sandpaper, and not spray paint, but spray primer. And so we sanded maybe a quarter of her car down, and primer'd it, and got bored and stopped, so for a year or maybe more, she was driving around a really shitty car that looked like she'd just bought it off of a drug addict.

Hey guys, question for each of you

Randall – how much improvising happens on Veep?

Steve – I’ve started listening to more Nerd Poker lately, so I’m wondering, does Blaine know every pop culture reference ever? I knew he was a wealth of knowledge but he continues to astound me

Thanks guys! Keep being funny!

Yeah, Blaine kinda has to know a lot about pop culture. He's also a writer for @midnight on Comedy Central. So yeah, he probably knows more about pop culture than most people I know.

Steve, what is it like filming @Midnight? How different is the filming process from what makes it on the air? Are there awesome jokes that we are missing? Any jokes you wished made it on air?

Filming @midnight is really fun. It's really quick. Most of what you see on the air is, I mean, god, how do I put this? Most of the stuff we do makes it on the air. It shoots almost all in real time. If anything doesn't make it on the air, it's because it didn't really need to be there.

Steve, why are you my favorite @midnight contestant ever?

Ummmm...boy. Uh, probably because you like watching idiots?

I do stare in the mirror a lot...

I mean "idiot" in a good way.

"Idiot" is a term of endearment to me. Which is absolutely true.

Can you guys talk about who the most hated member of the Amigo Undead cast and crew was? ^McCafferty

And also who was your favorite? ^Pluimer

Also, did either of you ever go #2 in the camper bathroom?

I try to avoid going #2 in campsites, unless I really have to. So I'm pretty sure I didn't.

I definitely did not. I have a phobia of going #2 in public restrooms. I will hold it until it's coming out of my ears, rather than going in a public restroom.

I didn't hate anybody at all on the set.

However, there was the sound guy - I think he was German or Austrian - I think he was very nice, but we're shooting one scene where we just buried our friend, and i have to deliver this long monologue/ eulogy, and they wanted to do it right at sundown, so we basically had 5 minutes to do it, and I'm almost to the end of delivering my monologue, and the sound guy yells out "OH SHIT! My battery just died!"

And so then we had to do it again, and we only had one chance to do it. We only had one take after he got his battery changed. But he was very nice.

Hi Randall,

I actually made an AMA request for yourself a few months ago - is the reason why you're doing an AMA now is because of that request?

Also - what are your guys favorite movies?

No, I didn't know about it. But thank you for requesting it, that is very cool of you.

My favorite movies? Oh gosh.

A lot of movies by John Hughes, like SIXTEEN CANDLES, WEIRD SCIENCE, FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF... and since we're doing a reddit for our horror-comedy, some of my favorite horror movies are THE THING, JAWS and THE SHINING.

Hi Guys--What was your favorite scene to shoot in Amigo Undead?

My favorite scene to shoot was in the convenience store - there's a scene where we break into a convenience store, and we basically try to catch the zombie. It's a really dumb plan that the character comes up with. And we try to catch him with Saran-Wrap. And that was really fun to shoot. And also, that's one of the scenes where Steve gets covered in blood.

That was pretty cool.

That same one is one of my favorites, but mostly because we were shooting at night, where it was freezing cold outside, so it was a chance to be inside and warm! The other one - we run into this old guy whose property we're out on, the actor's name is David Clennon, and he was awesome because he's this old character actor, he was in one of my favorite movies, THE THING, and he just had a lot of really great stories. It was really fun working with him, and he's just a good actor to watch for.

Hey guys, is Amigo Undead the best movie ever made?

No. No, it's not.

But it's damn good. And it is the best Steve Agee / Randall Park movie ever made. By far.

Randall and I are the next Bob Hope and Bing Crosby.

Have you guys seen Kung Fury yet? What are your thoughts on it?

I've not seen it yet.

Steve, favorite take out food?

Oh man. Hehehe.

I'd say my favorite takeout, there's a Thai food place in Los Angeles called Jitlada...and it's probably my favorite Thai food place. If I'm gonna go get takeout, that's where I'll go.

Randall - how did you deal with the Interview controversy?

Steve - what's it like working on New Girl?

It's great. It's one of my favorite jobs ever. The entire cast is super-nice. One of the producers, Erin O'Malley, was also an executive producer on "The Sarah Silverman Program," so it was great going into that job already knowing people there. And I already knew Jake Johnson before we did the show. So it's just a really friendly environment, and everyone's great. It's really nice. It's a great gig.

Steve Agee - I am a fan of Nerd Poker since ep.1 and I feel like you bring a lot to the show. I have 2 questions for you: 1.) If you could re-roll Winter what race and class would you pick? 2.) If you could re-roll Steve Agee what race and class would you pick? Thanks!

1.) Hahahaha! That's a REALLY hard question, because of all the guys on the Nerd Poker podcast, I know the absolute least about Dungeons & Dragons. I would actually probably just leave him as he is. I don't know enough about Dungeons & Dragons to re-roll.

2.) That's a really good question. If I could re-roll myself, I'd be Channing Tatum.

If Gordon Ramsay yelled at people for poor sexual performance, what would the insults be like?

I've never seen Hell's Kitchen, so I don't know what his insults would be like.

IT DOESN'T GO IN THERE! IT FUCKING GOES IN THERE!

What are some warning signs that you are about to have awful sex?

One warning sign that you're about to have awful sex is that you can't get an erection.

Steve, who would you love to have to go against on @midnight?

Matt Berry, from The Might Boosh. And Rich Fulcher.

Hey guys! Steve, when are you coming back to Harmontown?

Probably soon? It's a lot of fun. The only problem is that they record it on Sunday nights, which is a big TV night for me. But now that Game of Thrones and Silicon Valley are over, I'll probably be there really soon.

What was it like filming Amigo Undead? Any fun stories to share?

At one point, we shot a scene where I get covered in like... blood and bile and all sorts of weird foreign monster bodily fluids, like, head to toe. And we shot it at night, so we didn't wrap until 4 o'clock in the morning. And when we wrapped, I realized that the makeup girl had gone home early, so there was no one there onset to get me out of the blood and guts makeup. And we were shooting out there in the desert, so I had rented a hotel room. So I had to walk through the hotel lobby covered in like, blood... there was a couple there checking in or checking out, I'm not sure, and them and the clerk just stared at me as I walked through the lobby, and they didn't say anything.

And I didn't say anything either. And for a little while, I was sitting in my room, expecting the police to come banging down my door, but I guess they didn't really have a problem with it.

Steve Agee, I love you. What do you actually think about the taste of Tab? I went through a Tab phase myself, though I'm not sure why because I don't think that it's very good.

I think Tab tastes absolutely horrible.

To me it tastes like pure chemical - you are making a reference to an episode of "The Sarah Silverman Show." When we shot that episode, I think the Coca-Cola company sent us cases and cases of Tab so the rest of the season, there was Tab on-set everywhere. Nobody was drinking it.

What are some movies that pushed you towards becoming actors?

For me, it wasn't movies that made me want to go into acting. It was television. More specifically, Three's Company. John Ritter was a huge idol for me. He's one of my heroes. He's one of the reasons I wanted to go into acting.

Randall, if you could make a romantic comedy film, who would you cast as the leading man and lady and what would be the scenario, where would it be set?

Oh man. Leading man AND lady?

I think it would be cool to see Steve as the leading man in a romantic comedy. Because in a lot of people's minds, the first thing that does not come to mind when you see Steve is "romantic comedy."

If Seth Rogen can do it, I can do it.

Randall, I’ve been a fan of yours for a while, I loved Ikea Heights, Home are where the Hans Are, and those few years when you were on commercial after commercial.

You obviously have great skills that work well for sitcoms, but I thought you also would have been great on a televised sketch show, like SNL. How do you think you would have fared on this format?

Also, as a Korean-American, do you have any K-Pop favorites?

I don't know. I'm not that good at impressions. I like playing characters though. Maybe there are a few I could do?

Says the guy who plays Kim Jong-Un.

spoiler alert Steve, since you are a Game of Thrones fan, what are your theories about the ending of the episode, especially with Jon Snow?

Um. I assume you mean... wow? Theories?

I don't want to give away spoilers...

SPOILER ALERT

My theory is that he's dead.

They killed him!

That's my theory. My theory is that he will stay dead. He is already dead in an interview that he did.

Hey guys! Loved Amigo Undead. Would you ever consider doing a sequel? What would happen in the sequel?

I mean, I would always do a sequel, just for the chance to work with Randall and all these guys again.

I really wouldn't care what happened in the sequel, as long as the weather was nice.

We shot this movie in 2 weeks. And the first week, we shot all during the day, and our first day of shooting was the beginning of a record heat wave, 110 degrees. And then as soon as we switched to shooting at night, the heatwave broke and it was freezing cold. So I wouldn't mind what happened in the movie, as long as the elements were in our favor.

What weird rumor about a celebrity do you actually think is true?

I think Marilyn Manson really did play Fred Savage's best friend on The Wonder Years.

What is the most useless superpower?

Oh shit. Um.

Good question.

The most useless superpower.

That's a good question.

What's Jeremy Renner's character in the Avengers? Hawkeye?

I guess his superpower is shooting arrows?

I would say shooting arrows like Hawkeye. It's pretty pointless.

Guys, you mentioned Channel 101 a lot, and I gather a lot of people on this movie were involved at Channel 101. How did that change or effect things?

Well, it affected it in that it made the movie happen.

The writer who wrote this movie knew the entire cast and crew from Channel 101. So I don't know if this movie would have happened without Channel 101.

The Fresh off the Boat episode with the “success” Perms cracked me up because I as a Chinese american can absolutely relate to it and had my mother watch it when I read the description (My uncle has had his hair permed for years now, though I don’t think he admits it…there’s no reason genetically that he would have curls like that) Do you have any perm stories from your own life? Either your own or relatives?

Also Randall, do you ever get mixed up with Tim Kang from the Mentalist?

Well, I mean, yeah, as a Korean-American, perms are definitely a part of our family. I never got one personally, but I do remember my cousins coming over one day, and they both had these perms. And I remember seeing it, and feeling a little jealous, but I never went through with it. And I'm really glad we didn't now, in retrospect.

And yeah! All the time. Not all the time now, but it did happen a lot.

And he got confused with him so much that he created a show for Channel 101 called "Baby Mentalist."
