WHAT'S THE WORST EXPERIENCE YOU'VE EVER HAD ONSTAGE? Well, recently, a guy, when I was in Louisville actually, a guy stood up — and I'm piecing this together after the fact, I didn't necessarily see this — but he stood up, I guess to go to the bathroom, and then just collapsed on the floor. And that was not great for the comedy portion of the evening. To have an unconscious dude on the floor. And it was unclear in the moment whether or not he was dead. It seemed like he might have been. As it happened, he was not. He sat up maybe a couple of minutes later and was sort of woozy. Maybe he ingested something he shouldn't have ingested. And he just sat back at his table and I said, "Are you alright?" And he said, "Oh yeah, yeah, I'm fine," and I'm like you don't get to just blow it off that you're fine, dickhead, you're not fine. You just passed out on the floor. And then he passed out again at his table. And the show shuts down again. So paramedics had to come and take this guy away.
WELL AS FAR AS WORST EXPERIENCES GO, THAT'S NOT AS BAD AS IT COULD BE Well, yeah, if the guy had died, I'd say that's probably as bad as it gets. Or worse, would have been if I had died.
THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY — WOULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN WORSE IF YOU HAD BEEN THE ONE TO HAVE PASSED OUT? Right. But, it worked out. I'm sure he's fine.
FAIR ENOUGH. OK, SO YOU'RE PROBABLY SICK OF THIS QUESTION BY NOW, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF BUZZ GOING AROUND THE INTERNET ABOUT A POSSIBLEWET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER PREQUEL. ANY TRUTH TO THAT? All I know is that David [Wain] and Michael [Showalter], who wrote the original movie, are talking about writing a new one, and I think they've started that process. And I know that everyone who was in the original movie said they would do it. And that's as far as it's gotten. I'm not in the loop on these things. I can't track down every rumor in Hollywood.
DO YOU THINK IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA, OR DO YOU THINK IT COULD POSSIBLY RUIN WHAT WAS A REALLY GOOD THING? Well, I think that there's always the danger. . . well, whatever. Whatever! I think that from my point of view it would just be about having a great time with those guys. And I think that if we did it — which I think that we would — that it would be fantastic. It would be really fun and funny.
IF THIS WAS A PREQUEL THAT MEANS IT'S GOING TO BE A BUNCH OF 40-SOMETHINGS PLAYING TEENAGERS? Yes, exactly. That was sort of the joke in the first one too, that we were all playing teenagers, and we were all in our 30s.
YOU AND MEGAN MCCAIN HAVE BEEN WORKING ON A BOOK. STUPID FOR AMERICA, IS THAT THE TITLE? We have been, yes. It was the title, but I think we're changing it to America, You Sexy Bitch.
