From ABC:

Here's Part One of our "Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place" chat

For those of you who couldn't join us April 8 on AOL-- and for those of you who'd just like to relive it. As you'll see, it gets a little wild sometimes! Ryan is "Pizza Ryan," Rich is "PizzaRichR," and Traylor is, of course, "Traylor H." Enjoy...

ABC Amy: Welcome everyone! We're delighted to be joined tonight by the stars of ABC's new hit Wednesday night comedy series, "Two Guys, A Girl and a Pizza Place." We'll be chatting for the next 45 minutes with Ryan Reynolds, Rich Ruccolo and Traylor Howard. We're thrilled that all three are actually joining us in person at our ABC offices in Los Angeles tonight... quite a treat for their typists ; ) And now, without further ado, a big warm welcome to Rich, Ryan and Traylor!

Pizza Ryan: Hello everyone :)

PizzaRichR: Hey, hey!

Traylor H: Hello everyone. Ask us anything you want ; )

ABC Amy: Our first question is one that I'm sure is going to come over and over again, so we'll just get it out of the way now... The two guys on the show are soooo hot. Are any of you two taken???

Pizza Ryan: No, I just have a dog. And hope.

ABC Amy: Rich??

PizzaRichR: I am so single, it's pathetic.

ABC Amy: I feel so sorry for you guys. This is HARD to believe!

PizzaRichR: Believe it, baby.

ABC Amy: If you say so...

Traylor H: They really are SO single!

ABC Amy: The next one is for Traylor. AA26Red26 asks: Traylor, are you planning on starring in any films?

Traylor H: It's kind of embarrassing. I have a film coming out in May. It's called "Dirty Work." Starring Norm MacDonald from "Saturday Night Live." It was sadly, Chris Farley's last movie. It's a really fun movie. Go see it!!

ABC Amy: PaprLantrn wants to ask Ryan: Do you still talk to any of your old co-stars from "Fifteen"?

Pizza Ryan: Yeah, I'm still very good friends with Chris who played Dylan. He's a bad influence on me.

ABC Amy: ANDYGATOR has a good one... How does it feel to be paid all the money you do just for doing something you love?

PizzaRichR: It feels great. :)

Pizza Ryan: It is the sad truth. But I love it.

PizzaRichR: Overworked, overpaid.

Traylor H: Money means nothing to me. Ha ha!

ABC Amy: LEXUSJK asks: I LOVE THE SHOW!! IS IT FUN WORKING WITH EACH OTHER???

Traylor H: Yes. I love working with the two boys. And yes, they are HOT!

Pizza Ryan: Rich is a pain in the butt. And again, so is Traylor. And David, Julius, but hey... I have fun.

PizzaRichR: I didn't even know I had co-stars.

Pizza Ryan: Easy there, tough guy!

ABC Amy: GiverofGa has one for Traylor... Traylor is fine!! Is she single?

Traylor H: I'm single until I meet you, GiverofGa!

ABC Amy: Guess this is a tough one... Strife96 asks: How did all of you get into acting?

Pizza Ryan: By accident. I walked into a casting call when I was 12 and got the part. In "Fifteen." I also slept with a lot of producers. ;)

PizzaRichR: I wanted to be a CPA, but my parents kept pressuring me into acting.

ABC Amy: Are your taxes done yet?

PizzaRichR: Yes, as of yesterday.

Traylor H: The guy I was dating at the time, started taking acting classes, so I started, too, because I didn't know what else to do. And then I started doing commercials.

ABC Amy: BillMad84 asks: ARE YOU GUYS GOOD FRIENDS OFF STAGE AS YOU ARE ON STAGE?

Pizza Ryan: Very much so.

Traylor H: When they're not throwing temper tantrums, yes. Actually, we are really good friends.

PizzaRichR: Yes, we have fun anywhere we go.

ABC Amy: Taz220099 asks: Do you guys have an account on AOL????

Pizza Ryan: I don't know how to turn a computer on? I mean, on. :)

Traylor H: I don't.

PizzaRichR: No.

Traylor H: We all need to get a life!

ABC Amy: Andiecond asks: What is your best advice for someone who wants to get into acting?

Pizza Ryan: Don't sleep with the producers.

PizzaRichR: Set goals in your head and never quit. And do sleep with the producers. That's how Ryan got his job.

ABC Amy: Any advice from Traylor?

Traylor H: Don't do it unless you're dying to. That's what Ryan did and he had to sleep with all of the producers. ;)

ABC Amy: Emmadoog asks: Are you guys anything like the characters you play?

Pizza Ryan: In real life I'm more like Pete. And no, I don't take experimental drugs.

ABC Amy: That's nice to hear : )

PizzaRichR: Sort of like Pete, but not nearly as anal. And I laugh more. And I would never put up with Berg's crap.

Pizza Ryan: Crap???

PizzaRichR: Do-do?

Pizza Ryan: Poo-poo!!!!

Traylor H: I'm pretty feisty like Sharon and I do like hanging out with the guys.

PizzaRichR: Ca-ca?

ABC Amy: Boys, boys, boys.

Pizza Ryan: Enough already.

ABC Amy: Kevin9012 asks: On the episode where you guys stole the Celtics Championship Banner, was it the real one or was it a replica?

ABC Amy: I think Ryan has a special wish for someone in the audience...

Pizza Ryan: Ice4395, thank you for joining us tonight. Hope your birthday is all you've hoped for and more. And stay away from Rich. I wish I knew more about you!

PizzaRichR: He's just jealous. If he can't have me, no one else can.

ABC Amy: Maybe she'll send us a message if she hasn't passed out yet...

Pizza Ryan: Uh......... yeah. (Ryan's typist notes: that was really sarcastic!)

ABC Amy: GLTTRGRL2 asks: Okay, I love the show and I was just wondering, is it hard to keep a straight face? The show is so funny!

Pizza Ryan: We laugh often. And delay production.

PizzaRichR: Traylor makes me laugh more than anyone when I'm in a scene. And Julius.

Pizza Ryan: Thanks, Rich!

Traylor H: One time, I laughed so hard, I literally cried. Rich and I couldn't keep a straight face, but Ryan always can.

ABC Amy: MuddDrgn asks: Hi, this is for Ryan... first, I just want ya to know yer my fave actor. ;) Second, I love you as Macro in "The Odyssey." What was it like playing the "macho supremoship" of the world?

Pizza Ryan: It had no perks, and the suit made me sweat. A LOT.

ABC Amy: SChwingTo asks: How many different auditions did you go to before you got these parts? You all are excellent, by the way. It's refreshing to see new faces!

Pizza Ryan: Thanks for watching "The Odyssey." No one else did.

PizzaRichR: I had a total of seven auditions, against Ryan's one.

ABC Amy: Part two of CindCee2's question has been answered... how 'bout part one: Just out of curiosity, is the show REALLY taped in Boston and do Ryan and Rich have "real life" girlfriends?

Pizza Ryan: No, it's shot in LA. And neither of us have girlfriends.

ABC Amy: NakedChee asks: Hi! My name is Jessica and I love the show. Ryan, your character, Berg, is my favorite. Anyway, I know that Traylor had a job on the show "Boston Common" a couple years ago, but are these the first gigs for Ryan and Rich?

PizzaRichR: Yes, absolutely. Yes.

Pizza Ryan: No.

Traylor H: Ryan eats all of the pizza!

Pizza Ryan: Just kidding.

PizzaRichR: Ryan eats anything.

Pizza Ryan: Yeah, that's true. I'd eat my shoe if it had ketchup on it.

ABC Amy: And I thought you didn't perform medical experiments in real life...

Traylor H: What are you... a comedian?!

ABC Amy: No... just a poor working stiff.

Pizza Ryan: Meet me in cubicle 4. Both of ya.

ABC Amy: Back to the questions... A question for Rich from PRLCA: Richard, what was it like guest-starring on "90210"?

PizzaRichR: All I wanted out of that gig was to meet Tiffany Amber-Thiessen, and I did.

ABC Amy: Icestar88 asks: Hi, Ryan, I was wondering if you answer your own fan mail?

ABC Amy: Mryidom13 asks: I know that every actor has hopes about their show-- what are you looking toward in the future?

Pizza Ryan: Rich wants to be a break dancer named Hiccups.

Pizza Ryan: And I'll be floormaster.

PizzaRichR: I hope we go on for as long as everybody likes us. I hope we go on forever.

PizzaRichR: DJ Jazzy Ryan.

ABC Amy: JArgula2 demands an answer to: Why don't you have Boston accents in the show if you're from Boston?

Pizza Ryan: Cause I'm Canadian!

Traylor H: I thought we did!

Pizza Ryan: I'm not that good. :)

PizzaRichR: Good question. I have no answer for that.

ABC Amy: Just wait until next season... they'll be taking linguistics classes this summer. Manny2569 asks: Are you having fun doing the show?

Pizza Ryan: But of course.

PizzaRichR: Yeah.

Pizza Ryan: Real creative, Rich.

Traylor H: Yeah... if they say so ; )

ABC Amy: W4ORZ needs some advice. You guys should be experts... Question: I ate too much pizza. It makes me thirsty. Should I have a Pepsi or Coke?

Pizza Ryan: I'm sponsored by Pepsi. :) It's the choice of a new generation.

Traylor H: Ryan would be the best to answer that question.

ABC Amy: Beavis362 asks: How has the instant success of the show changed your lives?

PizzaRichR: I am much more good-looking.

Pizza Ryan: Rich is much better looking.

Traylor H: I would have to agree with that.

PizzaRichR: About 50 hours a week.

Pizza Ryan: 9-5. Get home, feed the kids... walk the dog and read the paper.

PizzaRichR: 9-5. Get home, feed the kids, kiss Traylor good night and go to bed.

ABC Amy: You might gain a new viewer if you answer Laurley14's question... Sorry, I am new at this and I have never seen your show so which is the girl and who are the boys? Please answer this so I can start watching your show.

Traylor H: Pete is very in touch with his feminine side...

PizzaRichR: Traylor's the girl.

Pizza Ryan: Ryan's the guy.

Traylor H: Rich is the other guy.

Pizza Ryan: Rich is... well, Rich.

PizzaRichR: And Rich is the pizza place.

ABC Amy: And why should she watch?

Pizza Ryan: Because we're fun to hang with! Damn it!

Pizza Ryan: (Ryan's typist notes: And because they're HOT!)

Pizza Ryan: (Ryan's typist is now taking a $50 bribe.)

PizzaRichR: (Rich's typist notes: They're verrrrrrry HOT!)

Traylor H: Traylor's typist notes that they're "okay."

ABC Amy: Enough of that!

PizzaRichR: I gave her $100.

ABC Amy: And now for our last question before we take a break... What does it feel like to have a "hit" show just after a few weeks?

Pizza Ryan: A little nerve-wracking. But we're hoping for the best.

Traylor H: Pretty darn good!

PizzaRichR: Sometimes it's scary because you don't want it to end.

ABC Amy: We're going to take a break for an hour or so... Traylor, Rich and Ryan will be back at midnight, ET, 10 p.m. Mountain time, 9 p.m. Pacific...
