Reggie Watts (2015)

What was the inspiration behind "Fuck Shit Stack"?

Reggie, why is shit so crazy?

Was it difficult driving to the Earwolf Studio just to sing the CBB theme song before every show?

Reggie, you always seem to be playing it cool but what's something you do that you dislike about yourself?

What was it like performing at Madison Square Garden with LCD Soundsystem?

Indica or Sativa?

Were you close at all with Harris Wittels?

I loved him on the CBB podcast and his brilliant writing work. He will surely be missed.

How do you know if you're fucking?

Are you going to train Kid Cudi on how to be Scott's best friend and cohost?

Favorite food to eat when you emotional?

Hey Reggie! Love your stuff.
How much of the looped stuff you do at talks/gigs is improvised?

I met you at the Apple Store in the Beverly Center, and you said you'd teach me how to use the Line 6 Delay pedal. Okay, you didn't, but could you teach me or point me in the right direction of utilizing it to the best of its abilities?

a particular chain/type?

Reggie, you are a beautiful human person and a wonderful talent.
Do you like any comics or picture books? If so, do you have any favourites?

Dear Reggie,

How does it feel to be departing Comedy Bang Bang and moving on to the Late Late Show? (I know I am going to love Kid Cudi, but as of now, I am having a hard time imagining CBB without you!)

Did you get to meet Bill Nye when you did this?

least favorite dinosaur?

How much would it cost to get you to record me a 1-minute intro theme a la CBB and Harris' Phone Corner?

Reggie, I'm in Portland, and I've become a huge fan of yours over the last couple years. How can I see you perform live? I can never find any tour dates or anything.

Hey Reggie! Ex-Montanan, current Seattleite here. Did you grow up knowing you'd leave Montana or did you ever think you'd be a lifer?

Reggie, I love listening to your inspiring and at times sexually gratifying mouth sounds. My question is this, can I hire you for a sensual evening of back rubs and using your hair as a personal pillow? Also, how're you today?

Who are your biggest comedic and musical influences?

Hey Reggie, is there a thing you would give your 'fro for?

How do you juggle work and family?

Hey Reggie! Do you think your role on CBS will be similar to what you have been doing on Comedy Bang Bang? Are you going to have a band, or is it still just going to be you, your keyboard, and your pedals?

What does your real voice sound like?

I really loved your original Legend score. Would you ever consider doing that kind of thing again? I would love to hear you score something like Akira or Blade Runner. Also, I just love you so much. Thank you for everything. I saw you at Largo last year and your prince/prints song still gets stuck in my head.

EDIT: get's? Apostrophe-S!? Get it together man!

You make improv music seem so effortless. Did it always come this way to you or did you have to work for it?

In wake of the terrible news yesterday, would you mind sharing your best Harris Wittels story, or perhaps your favorite moment with him?

What's your return plan? Also, how much do you love/loathe Montana winters?

What is your favorite food and why is it Scott Aukerman?

First and foremost, I (redundantly) just wanted to thank you for being hilarious, and for doing what you do.

Will The Late Late Show's schedule still be conducive to you doing stand-up tours?

If I ask you to play at my wedding, would you go? I'd pay for everything. I don't even have a girlfriend yet, so take your time to think about it.

What advice would you give to a bald man...with no hair...?

What's it like to work with Jimmy Fallon?

What got you into beatboxing? Any specific inspiration, or just figuring out how to make the weirdest sounds possible on your own time?

also, Story Time:

    Two summers ago I ran into you at the Nashville airport (either right before, or right after Bonnaroo). I had been a HUGE fan since Why Shit So Crazy was released (actually all the way back to What About Blowjobs, but that's a different query altogether!) -- it wasn't exactly hard to pick you out of the crowd, but I hollered at you with a wave and with a big smile you came over to say hey.

    I know you were in a hurry, but you stayed to chat with me and my Grammy (who I was rolling through the terminal in her wheelchair). You even waited patiently so we could flag down a stranger to snap a picture. Grammy was somewhat perplexed anout why I was so excited to meet my favorite beatboxing surrealist (this label hardly does you justice) -- but she did comment on what a polite young fella you were!

    Im sure everyone else can ask more poignant questions than myself -- but I just wanted to share the story! I couldn't make it down to the OddBall festival in ATL so I hope we'll get you back in Nashville soon.

EDIT: The best picture ever taken in an airport

Who's your favorite member of animal collective?

In light of Heidegger's recently released personal notes, should we even teach Being and Time anymore?

The song (and music video) you did with Flight Facilities is awesome! And that Kid Cudi vid makes me happy. Any plans for more groovy music releases or collaborations? I guess what I'm saying is I want an album and more music and videos of you dancing and now I sound like a stalker...

Reggie, I have a vinyl pressing of your recording from Third Man Live. I managed to get the last one in stock on amazon. It's one of my most prized possessions.

My question is, what was it like working with Jack White?

Could you elaborate your autotune comment on Twitter? Is it never a tool for expression or did you mean it's always a mask for terrible vocals?

What's your go to munchie?

When you come to the UK in April will you be doing any sightseeing? Judging by your calming vines I would say there's a lot of the country you would enjoy :)
Also, thank you for that Ted talk you did, it was wonderful to watch.

Do you plan on working with Scott Aukermam on anything else in the future? You guys make a really great team on CBB. I'd love to see you get back together despite you leaving the show.

Also you should call him Todd Soccermom on an episode of CBB.

Reggie,

I get the feeling that you're pretty well-read/wise. Who are your biggest intellectual influences?

Also, you're great! I've enjoyed everything I've seen you do! Thanks for keeping it interesting.

Reggie, back when you were arranging the music for 'Louie', were there ever live-drums on any of the recordings? If so, who was the drummer who played on them?

Hello Reggie, thank you for doing this ama, I'm a big fan.
My question to you is, what is in your opinion the perfect sandwich?

Would you put your hand in my cookie Jar ;)??????

Is there a good chance of seeing you getting strange n' funky on a TED stage in the future?

Really loved some of your work with Soulive and the boys at Royal Family Records. Any chance you'll be working with them again?

Reggie! You are by far my favorite comic and live performer of all time. We met in Denver one time, I think it was me, my 2 friends and 4 other people at the show. Here is a picture of us:http://imgur.com/GSlL5nj

My question: What is up with the long painted finger nail? You always seem to have it.

Please keep doing what you are doing. I love it!

Oh, and good luck on your new show, I have a feeling it is the beginning of some big things for you.

Reggie, love your stuff, seen you a few times, including opening for Conan in Eugene OR.

Will you (or did you?) ever do a real track of "Big Ass Purse"? That has got to be one of the funniest things I've ever heard of yours and the only recording I have is from my shitty phone in the audience.

Keep on rocking the sick 'fro.

edit: evidence!

Do you have or have you had a pet(s)? If so, what animal(s) and what is/was its name?

Heyo, I know you're a pretty good pianist, structurally at least. What are some of you biggest influences musically? (Jazz,soul,funk,rnb influences primarily)

Whatchu mean healthy bad? Gluten free donuts? Black bean burgers? De La Soul?

Please define nnovative, locally-sourced, technical fabrics. What is that? (very intrigued to know).

How much of your success do you attribute to the amazing growth rate of the hair on your head/face? Also, at what point do you get it cut/trimmed if ever?

What was your style when you first started doing live/public performances? I feel like people's initial reactions had to be interesting

Hey Reggie! I recently got a littlebits Korg synth. Aside from being a spokesperson, did you have any input in the product? Also, any tips for getting good sounds out of it?
