The Doug Benson Q and A Threadt!

[smartbunny]

What did you think of Dexter this season? If you had time to watch.

[dougbenson]

did not watch it.

[smartbunny]

Good for you. It was terrible.

[dougbenson]

i like to think the series died with the trinity killer.

[man124]

Came across this online the other day and kind of think it is the greatest thing ever. This is Brian Posehn and you, right? If so, is there any interesting story behind it, or was it just a job?

[dougbenson]

we just did it. neither one of us was super into it. the scenes they gave us weren't even fun to make fun of. plus the body doubles flail around too much. blech.

How much would it cost me to get a call from you on New Year's Eve?

[dougbenson]

that's not the sort of thing i do, but i appreciate the request.

I'll call you for free... I'm a class act.

[EdLover311]

Figured it couldn't hurt to ask. The sort of thing that would blow some people's minds when they're not expecting it.
Have a great New Year's everyone!

I remember hearing on some podcast somewhere that your first "piece" was a dugout.
Just wondering, do you still have that?

[beewcar]

Someone on the Nerdist comedy special podcast that came out this week had a bit about anti-pot ads and mentioned the talking dog and girl melting into couch specifically.

thoughts on that?

[dougbenson]

i don't have the exclusive rights to make jokes about those things.

no, i don't.

[smartbunny]

You were on Moonlighting! A new thing I did not know! The few times I spotted you in an ep you never face the camera or Cybil Shepard's big head blocked you out. Do I remember correctly that you also used to attend Bosom Buddies tapings or did I make that up in my head?

[dougbenson]

i saw a BOSOM BUDDIES taping once and got to meet tom hanks and peter scolari and donna dixon and it was the best day of my life.

(i've had a couple better days since, i'm happy to say)

[dougbenson]

sacramento! tomorrow thru monday, everyday at 4:20! sat = stand up, sun = interruption taping, mon = doug loves movies! all with special guests!

(and graham elwood)

[dougbenson]

who's coming to my shows at sf sketchfest this weeekend?

[smartbunny]

I'm sure some people did.

I watched Fast Times last night; were you in the yellow shirt behind Rat when he's talking to Stacey at the very end?

[dougbenson]

yes
