It is because we're loose now
0:02
We'll make it better. Second time around. Mm-hmm. Sorry, I have to do it
0:10
Sorry, guys, we're just singing the full house theme. But welcome. Step by step
0:14
Oh, step by step. Oh, wow. Hi, I'm Jillian. I play Valerie
0:19
Hi, I'm Kelly Warren. I play Ellen. And Nick Costa. I play Keith
0:23
I'm Michael Ball Smith. I play Pete. This is Planet Rose. Karaoke bar, Missy, from the previous episode
0:29
so it owns it. It's wonderful. We do a lot of things there. 219 Avenue A, go and sing and have fun
0:35
Great happy hour. Every major event in our lives has happened there. The after party of our wedding. Yes, karaoke. Our screening of this very show
0:40
Yes. Kelly, in real life, is a stand-up, and I wrote a lot of this stuff for the Ellen character
0:45
It was inspired by Kelly, but also I wanted the Ellen character to be much more of a struggling
0:50
finding her way stand-up. So I wrote some stuff that purposely wasn't supposed to be the most
0:56
hilarious, and obviously the crowd is very sparse. So I don't want to, I will take the credit slash blame for the stand-up material in this show
1:04
It's not, not attributed to the real Kelly Moore. That's Nick, by the way, in the audience
1:10
I am the crowd. You are the crowd. We just, we needed a head, and so we turned his hat around. Yeah
1:14
In the crowd, yeah. But the cool thing about the stand-up stuff, and people had asked me
1:19
oh, did you write that or what? And like, Mike actually writes the stand-up
1:22
and then on the day of the shoot, lets me take it and run with it
1:26
which is really cool. But the skeleton of it is already there. And I do love that Ellen is not quite nailing it No she not there You know we got a ghost and we have to have an arc Yeah of course And it cool to watch her kind of like figure it out even like during the set
1:41
Yeah. She'll be like, I know this not one. Like try and, yeah, mimics the real life of a standout
1:47
Does that, do you, when you do stand up actually, do you sometimes say like, oh wow, this is not
1:53
Does that happen to you? Sure, of course. Depending if you're in the wrong room
1:56
Right. Good luck to you. Yeah. Yeah. You mean like you went into like a
2:01
bridal shower. I was in the room closet. I'm trying to book all of my things
2:06
into like a multi-purpose catering hall. Right. If you just stumble into some sort of
2:11
pre-Orthodox wedding, some nice, a whole sweat. Like you do. Like you do
2:17
This is a thing that actually happened to me, myself. I had to act out this silent
2:24
miming sort of exercise for a company. I think it sold masking tape
2:29
of some kind. Yeah, and I had to react to these changing weather conditions
2:34
You don't see a lot of masking tape commercials, do you? No, you don't. There's no big masking tape lobby
2:40
And you know what? The television is poorer for it, I'll say. Seriously
2:44
I don't even know what kind of brand of masking tape to buy. How could you know
2:48
I know. Nobody tells you. There's big boardrooms filled with people right now debating masking tape strategy
2:54
When I was younger, I thought it was a duck tape. Well, who didn't
2:57
Some people called that. I learned, like, last week, that no. Battery pack is in
3:05
Yes, the battery pack is in. That was worth of special effects to into putting that battery Right That why we couldn do it in the other episode because we spent all of our special effects budget
3:23
Off the wagon is a bar very close to our hearts, our collective hearts. And we figured that we would have Pete and Keith be unofficially, officially working there
3:33
So why not? Put me in the T-shirt. I just want to shout out Ed Caraballo
3:37
director of photography, who he is a rock star. He also did sound for season one
3:42
He makes everything look beautiful. He will, like, huddle in places. He will get himself anywhere to get the shot on top of things, behind things
3:51
He's wonderful. Indeed. So, hello, Ed. Delight to be around. You guys have kind of, like, you have a bit
3:57
We do. We're kind of, like, in a fake relationship that's totally real in my heart
4:01
You just really flirt. You like... He is handsome. He is. He is a handsome
4:05
He's a handsome. Silver Fox. I mean, a lingering hug never had to do. I mean, hey
4:11
Silver Fox. He is. He's a silver fox. It's a perfect description
4:16
It's like Anderson Cooper. This is a camera. It's a very old camera that we had because Nick and I have done a couple
4:23
sketches together as well back in the day, and that's the camera that we used. They were very funny
4:27
Well, thank you. Yeah. Back in our Basement View Improv. And there will be some other members of Basement View Improv
4:35
sprinkled throughout the show. There already have been. You already saw Mike and Ted O'Gorman in the
4:39
phone talk montage I also love in the background you could see their list of sketch ideas Pete and Keith they have it written Yes Attention to to detail for the nerds Got to get it out Those are Jack Skellington pants I also wearing them now
4:54
True story. I will sign whatever you need to sign. I'm staring at them right now
4:58
A monkey's shirt, because I'm a huge fan of the monkeys. Hello, Mickey Dolans
5:02
And underneath the television, right, where... Wait, wait for it. Game of Thrones
5:08
More Game of Thrones. Number six, actually. Yes, there it is. Well, does that count us two
5:13
because that's Rob and Arita. No, I think it's one. Stickler. Again, with being a stickler
5:19
It's such a stickler. We've established that I'm a stickler. It's part of my character now
5:22
You also see next to the TV All Access Pass to MCA Day
5:26
which is an event honoring Adam Yowke and the B.C. boys, and those are friends of ours
5:31
Yes. That is me and Mike's apartment. Mine and Mike's... Just say them all, and one of them will be right. Right
5:39
Yeah. Mike and I are married and lived together, and that's the apartment that we live in. We were married and didn't live together
5:46
That would be a huge problem scandal That would be a whole thing This was tricky because it was
5:52
We didn't film it together obviously So we filmed Nick first And I was like whispering the lines to him
5:59
Off camera and then when we filmed mine Nick's audio was on very low
6:03
I decided what take I was going to use Split screens are hard I learned
6:07
I learned from you For me I learned too I'm learning everything as I go here
6:11
And we'll keep going to Very elegantly. Well, thanks. I try. You don't see me have my final cut free gown
6:17
