Amber Nash (2015)

Oh my God, it was exactly like that!

Judy is super fun and full of energy and kooky for real. Adam has gotten to know us all better over the years and really writes the characters for us more than ever. So I do feel like a lot of that comes from Adam knowing what Judy is capable of. I love Cheryl so much too!

I'd like to say that the whole time we were recording that season that I was on a cocaine bender but alas it was pretty much the same prep as usual, maybe a little more coffee before I went in. I just had to be really excited about most anything. So I just jumped around in the booth a lot.

My dream would be John Goodman! Or me...somehow!

ohhh I see that.

My favorite is still when recorded the episode where Pam is humping the gyro and they weren't quite getting what they wanted out of me so our EP was like "Amber watch me and just make the right noises" so he just started humping around the studio and I made humping noises. That was the day that I realized that hands down I had the best job ever.

That is all Adam Reed!

I've been thinking about it a lot!

I was so excited when I found out that it was happening. I knew Pam would blow his socks off! It's gotta happen again!

Well we'd probably start the night out at Golden Corral and after we decimated the carving station we'd pour the chocolate fountain in our purses and hit Crammers for 2 for 1 lap dance night but then we get kicked out for hitting the stage and destroying the pole with our poons. So there is nothing left to do but hang with some homeless dudes behind the Chevron and pound a few 40s. Then as the sun comes up over the mountain of garbage (cause now we're at the city dump) we look at each other and start singing Wind Beneath my Wings!

Kristie81, I'm sending you a dolphin. PM me your address!

I have a ton of guy friends and always have, so I get being one of the dudes. Also, my mouth has and will continue to get me in trouble.

Yeeeeessss!

Not really, but I love the episodes that give some character back story they are so much fun so may be soon we'll know more.

So next season is so much fun! We've recorded about half of them and they are in a new environment, it's not a total reboot like season 5 was, but it's new and fresh and so funny. The most important thing is that they are all still horrible assholes to each other. We air in March this year cause we are moving to FXX.

Cherlene!

Gotta be "shut your dick holster".

Not a lot actually, the scripts are already so tight there isn't much need for it.
I loved the album too and yep that's me, Lucky and Adam singing at the end of "Straight to Hell"!

It's hard to know really but you may have something here.

I loved Home Movies too! He's a delight, I mean a surly delight but a delight. He's is just as sarcastic in real life. It's like working with an older brother that is a jackass.

I loved recording the Papal Chase, with Pam and the Pope and Woodhouse.

I really love that she doesn't give 2 fucks what anyone thinks of her. It really is refreshing and I think we could all use a little more of that.

I think I'll start with Aisha (twiddles her mustache)

Well I do have some pretty sexy lingerie, here's a pic!

Well I guess I would choose a dolphin for Pam because they have such a special connection, it just makes sense.
For me I think I would choose...A DICK

It's true and that is what everyone told me in the beginning. I actually started because a friend that does improv with me in Atlanta is also a Creative Director at an ad agency and he needed some vo for commercials and stuff and I was easy to work with and cheap so he used me a few times, then I did a few radio spots. Because I worked at Dad's Garage the guys making Sea Lab 2021 knew me because an animator that worked with them Christian Danley was also an improviser at Dad's, so I got to audition for Frisky Dingo and didn't get the role I auditioned for but got a different one later and then the rest is history. So, I do think I got pretty lucky. But I'll say being cool to work with and easy going on jobs, is probably the best thing I have going for me, it makes such a big difference.

I know! I loved that so much too!

Amazing!!

I was getting a degree in Biology and thought man this sucks I need an outlet for fun. So I found improv. Then I changed my major to Psychology and then got a real job after college and I was like man this sucks so I quit and became a full time improviser, not the smartest choice financially but I loved it so much I wanted to see if I could make a go of being a performer.

I gotta say I think my favorite is Gillette. He's the best and Lucky is the model for that character, so almost as good as Krieger.

Well we all live in different cities so when we are working we never see each other. I record in Atlanta so I get to see the crew that makes the show and Lucky but everyone else is in LA or NY. So we really only see each other at events.

The year is 2036 and humanity is on the brink of extinction after the AI started this god damn war. The only humans left are bands of roving mercenaries who have made an art out of killing machines. Pam is still recognizable as Pam even though her blonde hair has mostly turned gray and a DIY eyepatch made out of leather and shoelaces is strapped to her face. Rising through the ranks of this brigade of freedom fighters wasn't easy but now she is their leader. She crouches on the rooftop of a bombed out building, peering through a set of night vision binoculars, she spies on a group of humanoid machines below. She can't believe her luck, she's looking down at a group of AI officers. You can drown a toddler in her pants right now, she's so excited to blow these motherfuckers up. The bomb is already set, she just needs to push the trigger. Just a few more steps and they're in the blast radius. At the last second one of them notices her and she has no choice but to charge in, tackling three of the robots immediately into the blast zone. She pins them down and pushes the trigger. BOOM. One of her comrades rushes up to see her dying with a beam of metal sticking through her chest. "My God, you're impaled on that rod" he says, "phrasing..." she says as she drifts away. A fitting death for the planet's greatest warrior.

We usually just read each of our lines 3 different times, sometimes if it's not feeling right some one will read with us but honestly not very often.

At the beginning of Season 2 when Pam is Rasta Pam, they wanted me to record everything with a Jamaican accent and after about 30 minutes they were like ok, you are terrible at this and it's not working...

Uh...zucchini?

When I was 19 I fancied myself a real badass and challenged a guy that I worked with to a tequila drinking contest. We actually sold tickets to our apartment. My roommate's Mom was visiting from Florida and bought us the booze. We went shot for shot until I think I died. It was like 15 shots or something, I really shouldn't have survived. He passed out in my bed and I decided that it was time to start punching contests. I eventually passed out too, on the floor next to my bed. In the middle of the night, I woke up needing to vomit (naturally) and crawled to the toilet to barf but it wasn't the toilet, it was my bed that the loser was passed out in. When his girlfriend got there, she crawled into bed with him. I had started the evening off with 2 Arby's roast beef sandwiches.

If I could get hired as a bouncer at a strip club I would totally do it.

We have an amazing sound editor Brad Zimmerman. And that would be a great DVD extra!

I think you've come up with the whole plot line for Season 8! Pam and Krieger Freaky Friday!

Ummm....no?

I really do wish that I could just play old people all the time. Oh yeah, I tell my husband all the time that this is what he has to look forward to. I can't wait to be an old kook.

I am well aware of the following Archer has in the US intelligence community because I've been monitoring you email for weeks.

Blunts, Booty and Bitches!

Also we have a really great arts scene.

Uhh really? PAM

I got so lucky that the character developed into someone so awesome. I think Adam saw that Pam could be so much crazier and went for it and knew I could go there. Being the voice of Pam has made me really appreciate that she is a sex symbol in a new and unexpected way and it's really amazing and awesome.

Great question! After you've done loads of classes, I think the most important thing is to get on stage anywhere, everywhere, you learn a lot just getting into it and seeing how audiences react to you on stage, it's one of the best learning experiences. Check out Highwire in Decatur! Find any opportunity you can to play with loads of folks. Thursdays at Dad's we draw a student out of a bucket to play with us and it's so fun. We will have a student night at the new Dad's also! My favorite improviser at Dad's is such a hard question, there are so many amazing people to play with. I'd say for my money though, if I were doing a 2 hander with another person I'd choose Matt Horgan!

Thanks for the great question! That has actually been one of the surprisingly best things about this job, I never expected it. A lady stood up at SDCC this year cosplaying Pam and said thanks for making a character so that she didn't have to be fat Cinderella or fat Leia, she could just be Pam and it brought the house down and that is how our panel ended. THANKS! I'm gonna send you a dolphin puppet!!! Can you DM me your mailing address?

I'd love to do Bob's Burgers or Simpsons or South Park or the Flintstones is they ever remake it!

I love them both but I gotta stick with classic Pam.

That's a tough but very good question.
I think there wasn't one big ah ha breakthrough, getting Frisky Dingo is what really set me on my current path and working with Matt and Adam. I think in season 2 when I really started to get my legs and confidence and realized that people really loved Pam was pretty amazing! Also, having the guts to quit a good job to be an artist full time when there was no indication back then that I'd ever really be able to make a career of it. The most surprising success so far is probably being on a show that's been nominated for 2 Emmys.

I loved Southbound and Down, I love Archer and Pam together gettin' shit done.
I think my favorite acting experience was doing Archer Live, being on stage with Chris, Aisha, Jon, JESSICA!

Just myself!

I'd bring a hunting knife, a tow hitch, a water filtration system and a people magazine with a royal family exclusive.

drinking

My first job was scooping ice cream at Baskin Robbins and we had a seasonal flavor called Peter Peter Pumpkin Cheeser! That was my favorite because the name is so stupid. Also it was delicious.

We both love shapewear, bulk holiday candy and strip clubs.
