CM: Get out! <All Laugh> Who needs it? No, but I was in Second City in Toronto and the producers were doing a cross-country audition tour, and so I basically auditioned and got in through that and over the years they got more confidence in me and started using me more. I think, Brad, you came in shortly right after that?
BS: Yeah, I was Ryan’s [Styles] understudy at Second City and the producer was coming into town to audition people and said that I should come down to audition and so I did and got on the show.
DB: So did you have any comedic role models when you were growing up?
BS: Yeah, they’re SO old though <Turns to Colin> Tim Conway, Art Carney, Don Knots were three of my favorites, but now you can only see them now on “Nick at Nite” and TV Land!
CM: I can go back even farther. I loved the old Jack Benny Shows, Dick Van Dyke, Don Knots, the Monty Python guys—?
BS: Oh yeah, Monty Python!
CM: --Peter Sellers, but I’d say the most I got from was probably John Cleese.
BR: What’s the best part of doing a college show?
CM: The audiences love us! The audiences have been great; especially for the kind of show we do they’re such an important part of the night and if you have an audience tat just sits there, its hell. The college audiences are so up and there’s a nice playfulness between us and the audience and among everyone
CM: College students aren’t usually drunk when they come to these things, which is nice too.
BS: Yes, exactly. So that’s why the show ends early. <All Laugh>
