I’ve never seen anyone who can portray aloof, sweet, and funny the way that she can.ĭ: Me and Jorb pretty much did everything alone until we decided to dive in and make a full season with Patreon help. I’ve also wanted a little brother character named Cannibal Corey since we wrote the pilot, but the only reason he didn’t appear until later was because Lacey Jeka, the actress who plays him, was too busy and I didn’t want anyone else for the role. Only she can be THAT mean to someone and get them to laugh instead of cry. Like, Hard Melissa only exists because I knew comedian Emily Panic. So we’re very fortunate to have a super funny writer’s room and comedian friends that inspire us.
I think it’s pretty easy to come up with “metal” themed characters, but as we’ve seen over the years, it’s easy to get it wrong and have an audience roll their eyes into their feet. J: Honestly, I think the magic of the characters really comes from us being lucky enough to know so many genuinely funny people. I later found out that pipe ran under the bathrooms, but it was actually part of the air conditioning system and the gross water it shuttles only smells like piss… I did get to keep one of those golden Batman toys, so that was pretty cool.ĭ: About 10 minutes after we finished shooting the finale, I was down in the basement of Saint Vitus celebrating with the gang when a pipe leaked and dripped toilet water directly into my eye. We barely got through it all and I gave myself a concussion during the Everyone’s A Winner performance. So I had like 3 costume changes, and it was the middle of August so my face paint was running like it robbed a bank. Thus, when we filmed our Halloween special with Dave Davidson, we had to film two additional musical performances afterwards with me as the musical guest for both. Thankfully, Iggy Pop’s guitarist, Matt Sweeney, and comedian Brett Davis saved our asses as last-minute guests, but we had to kinda improv our way through the skits and we ultimately ran out of time and weren’t able to film the musical performances for either episode. We absolutely don’t blame anyone, but it was kind of our worst nightmare. J: Oh man, so, we used to try and tape two episodes at a time, and the morning of our third taping, both of our planned guests cancelled on us. What's the craziest or most memorable thing that's ever happened on set? J: Until we get Nicolas Cage on the show, we’re not big enough. We got a lot of very welcoming organic publicity, and the rest is history.ĭid you ever intend for the show to get this big?ĭ: Honestly, I thought we’d have an Emmy by now.
8BIT DRUMMER METAL HOW TO
I got Drew to help with it since he’s the funniest person I knew and we were lucky enough to have Mutoid Man involved since Steve Brodsky was my guitar teacher at the time.ĭ: We made a pilot for fun, tried to shop it around, realized we didn’t know how to shop anything around, and then we just threw it up on the internet. Then once I started seeing a corpse painted host with a crazy metal house band, I realized that I just wanted to make the actual show.
I love watching old VHS uploads of bands performing on Conan or Letterman, and so I thought it would be fun to make a music video that was just a crazy talk show performance.
J: I originally came up with an idea for a “Satanic Talk Show” as a music video. I’m usually the first to arrive, the last to leave, and most often the person carrying a heavy-ass camera around the beautiful death trap that is Saint Vitus. We can’t just stop the show to get Gwarsenio’s opinion on lighting, so I become the adult of the set. If you don’t know what a director actually does besides wear beret hats and tell actors what their “motivation” is, it mostly means people run up to me and ask me questions about cameras and shit. I leave everything technical in the hands of Drew and the crew and then it’s my job to guide a stage full of 35-year-olds with ADHD from one joke to the next and pray to the dark lord that it ends up being funny.ĭrew: I direct, which kind of happened by accident. However, if we’re in Saint Vitus, all my focus goes towards hosting as Gwarsenio Hall. Honestly, we’re both wearing too many hats. I also workshop and compose most of the cover songs that we perform on the show and Drew makes the crazy motion graphics. Jordan: We both produce, write, and trade off editing the episodes based on which one of us has a day job. What are both of your roles at Two Minutes To Late Night? In a rare corpsepaint-less moment, the guys met up with us in Brooklyn to talk about the show's history, the craziest shit they've seen, and the season's impending end. In real life, Gwarsenio Hall and Two Minutes supporting character Kevin The Sound Guy are actually comedians Jordan Olds and Drew Kaufman, the show's creators.
