Seth Rogen show

Second show of the season. Really fun all around. Seth Rogen is a really good laugher. He's got this laugh that I can't type out how it sounds. But it's cool. It seemed like he was having a great time all through the week.

I'm really happy that I got to do Gene Simmons. I've been watching his reality show recently and have been kind of obsessed with trying to do him.

In that sketch where Kristen and Seth played brother and sister, I could not look at Kristen when she was dancing. The look on her face was way too funny to me and I didn't want to laugh, so I just focused on the wall behind them. In the dress rehearsal version, we all jumped out of the window.

Bill was amazing as Animal in that Muppets sketch. When we did it at the read through table, he already looked and played just like him. We tried many different versions of makeup and wigs. The more we put on our faces, like fake noses and blue paint, the less we looked like the Muppets. So a lot of it was stripped down.

When Will was shooting MacGruber, he was made up at one point to look like he had plastic surgery. He ran by me in the hall and I was so freaked out! He looked like such a crazy version of himself.

For that sketch where Seth plays a farmer who is experimenting with a new crop, the cast had to change positions really quickly in between the videotape transitions. It's a funny moment because Gena, our stage manager, screams/whispers "Repo! Repo! Repo!". The hushed emergency tone of it makes me laugh for some reason.

Okay, thanks!
