Nick Kroll (2015)

Yes. I believe that - I need to double-check - but I believe the Douche is on Parks & Rec tonight.

He was. But he was also always a very good, diligent writer.

I did eat an orange. But I smell amazing because I'm chewing cologne gum. It's called CK Gum.

Riff Raff.

We're having trouble getting financing, but Liz and Liz have already put an ameeezing premiere party together.

All of my characters are informed by who I am and people that I've come into contact with, as well as everyone else involved in making the show - like in the case of Rich Dicks, John Daly and people that he knew.

Jonathan Krisel (who directed seasons 1 and 2 of our show, and also directs Portlandia and Man Seeking Woman) came up with the idea for the title sequence, and our amazing graphics guy, Cris Shapan, he is the guy who came up with everything. And he is responsible for all of those Kroll Show opening graphics as well as all the graphics on the show - all the titles and various things throughout the show.

Sure.

Like an Uber driver.

I don't know?

You know, it's about 50/50, things that we actually take from Canada. The further we go into the show, the more invented they become.

But the truth is sometimes the actual stuff in Canada is crazier than the stuff we make up.

Yes, they have an edited-together version of the story that you then lip-synch.

Yes. I am working on various things, both involved with some of the characters I've done on the show as well as new characters.

I have been to a few Phish shows over the years, and my friends in high school were (and continue to be) really into them. Mike Gordon actually wrote back to me about it, which made me look really cool to my high school buddies.

If you start to smell like tuna a day after having eaten tuna - that's too much tuna.

Pastrami.

It's a line that I improvised on The League, and that random people scream on the street that frightens me.

I'm open to collaboration with anyone, on anything, as long as they give me booze in the morning, since that's the only way I'll get anything done. I love both of those shows, and Jordan Peele did my show, Fred Armisen did a bit on my show, I did a little bit on Portlandia - the best part of doing sketch comedy is being able to collaborate with other people you like and respect.

No, Jason Mantzoukas is constantly taking showers. He couldn't be more different than Raffi.

I am working on some new show ideas and some movie ideas, and will hopefully continue working with a lot of the people I made Kroll Show with.

"LA Deli," there is a video for - I don't know if there is lyrics for? I have to work on getting the lyrics to "Poconos."

So I'll work on it.

To be totally honest, it's a challenge, every day.

Interesting question, /u/that_shit_fray.

Unfortunately I lost my Man-of-the-People coat. But I'm looking to find a new one.

I have no interest in it. But thank you for making it. But I personally have no interest in it.

It did, in that I met people I respect and continue to work with, like John Mulaney, Mike Birbiglia, Alison Becker, Brian Donovan, Ed Herro, etcetera.

I drank a half a bottle of tequila, half a bottle of vokka... and a thimble of my own urine.

Are you asking for a job?

I think my Liz, post-bangs, is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.

We have various plans for various incarnations of the characters. I would love to kill Gil & George, but I don't think God or Satan wants to deal with them. So they will live on.

I make every set that I work on a Twizzler set.

Red Vine sets are bullshit.

I like a chocolate chip cookie with sea salt on it. But I'll basically eat all cookies. But I don't like cookies with walnuts in them.

Vokka, Jesus, and Revenge.

Yes. In an upcoming episode, all will be explained.

There DOES have to be.

One of the great things about the internet - beyond the amazing reddit AMA experience - is that you can research any voice you want, just by going to YouTube. Which was very helpful in figuring out the Canadian accent, the Pennsylvanian accent, C-Czar (I watched a lot of Riff Raff to get that accent down).

Sometimes I think too much about how hard something will be to produce, and not just follow what the funniest idea is.

As long as there's one of Ricky next to it, then that's cool.

My oddest fan encounter... I will grossly namedrop this and say that I met Steve Martin, who knew he was meeting me that night and had watched a couple episodes of the show and said he liked it, which was not odd, but like the coolest thing that's ever happened.

And it's not like he came up out of nowhere - he knew he was going to meet me, and prepped for it.

The Nick Kroll character.

I was part of a cult for the 90's, and was not allowed to listen to music.

I like whatever character I'm doing at that particular moment, until the other characters scream at me for cheating on them.

I think Jonah from Summer Heights High...And Jordan Peele's "Wendell" from the Pizza Ordering sketch, Fred and Carrie being the bookstore owners, and Will Forte's character where he gives toasts at weddings.

Thank you. No, but a new Spanish character, named Señor Feeture, will appear (who is my tribute to Pitbull).

Yes. I was paid 100,000 Loonies by the Canadian Government to make that show for them.

No, my favorite type of bird is Larry.

I do love RUSHMORE.

Listening to other people. It has made it more difficult to eavesdrop on people.

A bunch of our writers are from the Philly area, so I just quizzed them on it and made them teach me the intricacies of the accent. And the Canadian accent, I just watched Degrassi.
