00:00Is there a sketch that kind of stays with you that you wish you could go back and do over again
00:03that maybe didn't land the way that you wanted it to?
00:08Ooh, that's a good question.
00:12I mean, there's definitely a lot that have been cut, but usually if something's cut at dress,
00:24I'm usually...
00:26There's usually a reason, if that makes sense.
00:28You know what I mean?
00:30So I'm not usually jonesing to do a sketch over again.
00:36There hasn't been really where I thought a skit was sketch.
00:40I said it wrong three times.
00:42A sketch was unjustly cut.
00:44So I'm usually pretty good about moving on and being like,
00:47all right, on to the next one.
00:50I did want to do...
00:52We had a...
00:56Heidi Gardner and I wrote a...
00:58It was a parody of Love is Blind and it was called Love is Ass,
01:05where in Love is Blind, you don't see the person.
01:09And in this, it would have been, you're sitting in a little room and there's a little hole in the wall and someone just puts their ass and all you can see is their ass.
01:19So you're having a conversation staring at their rear end.
01:23Sorry to use the term ass, but...
01:25Okay.
01:25That one would have been fun.
01:29That would have been fun.
01:30That puts to mind as something that would have been fun to do.
01:33But maybe one day.
01:34Maybe one day.
01:35Maybe.
01:36There's probably many more seasons of Love is Blind, so I'm sure you can bring it back.
01:39Oh yeah, I think that'll go forever.
01:41I think so.
01:43I'm sure you get this question a lot, but favorite experience or best experience you've had with the host?
01:48I mean, I'll probably, I've had so many, but one of my favorites is Mr. Ryan Gosling.
01:57We got to do a Beavis and Butthead sketch together, which was a lot of fun, and he's just a delight.
02:02It always feels when he hosts like the popular kid in school, who's like everyone likes, like the cool, beautiful, popular kid is hanging out with the dorky comedians.
02:15But he is like the nicest dude, so that's always a highlight when Ryan comes by.
02:21I love this campaign.
02:22It is so much fun that you are trading comedian for common sense with dollar car rentals.
02:29Yes, I love it.
02:29So what are some common sense approaches when it comes to traveling and renting a car?
02:33Well, definitely, this is, spoiler alert, go to dollar.
02:39Okay?
02:40Did you get that?
02:41I got it.
02:42That's all you need to know.
02:43No, obviously, I mean, the campaign was just honestly so much fun to work on it.
02:51I got to play a bunch of different people and just kind of make fun of the travel nonsense out there.
02:58So that was, I had a blast doing it.
03:02Everyone was so much fun to work with.
03:03And I think the campaign, it's a fun way to kind of, you know, promote dollar, obviously, and that it's the place to rent a car.
03:14And I will say that right now, but also just kind of make fun of all the nonsense we go through when traveling.
03:22Because there is a lot.
03:24And it is.
03:25There is.
03:25Like, I had to wait, I had to go through security again for one AirPod and wait in line again, because I walked through the little machine with an AirPod in my left ear by accident.
03:39So that I had to put one AirPod in a bin and send it through security.
03:44That's amazing.
03:45Is there any other travel nonsense things that really irk you?
03:52People who hog chargers at the airport.
03:57Because sometimes, usually there's only like two working outlets at an airport.
04:02You know what I'm saying?
04:03So people who post up and kind of plug all their stuff in, we do make fun of that in the campaign as well.
04:10And, you know, just the types of people you come across.
04:14You know what I mean?
