TED: Well, you know, it was one of the early thoughts when the movie was at the studio at FOX. My first creative choice was Bill, and Peter's first creative choice was Bill. So when the movie went away from the studio, and away from the "casting the biggest star blah blah blah," we went with our first creative choice, which was Bill, we were allowed by Harvey to cast the person we wanted to.

MELISSA: Thank god!

TED: No one else could play this part but Bill Murray. there's no doubt in my mind. Nobody does likable like Bill Murray.

MELISSA: Oh gosh, I mean, we did that 7 years, so there are a LOT. I'll give you a weird one, because it stands out to me. I was eternally pregnant on the show, so I wore a pregnancy belly just FOREVER. And at the time I was smoking (every once in a while I had a cigarette), and I would inhale the smoke and go up to the prop truck - and I had known the prop guys for YEARS, this was probably in year 5- and I would punch the fake pregnancy belly and smoke would come out- and it was a TERRIBLE joke, but all of their faces would go very still, and then all of a sudden I turned around and there was a whole tour group behind me who I did not know where there who didn't know I wasn't really pregnant, saw me smoking, and saw me punch my own pregnant stomach. I mean, they were SO ANGRY and I said "no no no! It's a fake belly! I'm not even a big smoker!" and nothing helped. And then I got caught doing it AGAIN the next week, by another tour guide. I did the same horrible bit, TWICE. and people were like "you deserve it. You were acting like an idiot."

But it was a funny bit. That's why I had to do it again.

MELISSA: I do, yeah. We had such a good time doing it, but I've been lucky enough to get onto another show where i loved all the people, and I love the show i'm on now. I'm really nostalgic when I look back on it, but i feel like it had come to its end.

MELISSA: Aww, I love that show! I'm proud of the run we had. It's a nice show. I haven't kept in touch with a lot of people. I text Yanic every once in a while, but it's been a long time.

MELISSA AND TED: HAHAHA!

MELISSA: I'm going to take this moment to finally come out and say: Yes, truly I am. And so's my husband.

TED: I'm going to say the avocado. Any which way you want to take the avocado.

MELISSA: I love avocados. But Guinness is a full meal. One pint and you're done!
