Bob Odenkirk recently interviewed Tim and Eric of "Tim and Eric's Awesome Show, Great Job!". Here is a transcript of the interview as posted by Bob on his website:
E: hey bob
t hey, how’s it going
b Good, you guys
t we’re doing good.
(they check out the new site and compliment me on it)
Tell me about T & E nitelive…
T: It’s uhm, it’s really gonna be live, what you see on line is what’s really happening in the studio. We’re not thinking about it too much, planning it the day of the show.
E: It’s really going to give us a chance to talk about ehings we love,. The first episode is going to be all about Papa Johns pizza and the kind of dips they offer.
T: We’re going to do as much free advertising for large corporations as possible
B: isn it amazing that some people didn’t get Shrek?
E: it was quite amazing, alot of our fans didn’t get it either…
T: I get people not getting the 1st or 2nd, but…
E: But after all the ads for shrek, you just have to get it
T: If I was more cynical I thnk I might have thought this was legitimate, like this was some guerrilla marketing campaign.
B: Who are some of the guests going to be on NITELIVE?
E: most of the time it’s going to be guests from “Awesome Show”. Our first night the musical guest is David Liebe Hart and Richard Dunn is also a guest
T: Richard Dunn has a beard now and will be shaving his beard live…
B: This kind of reminds me of Andy Kaufman a little, but not with the creepy aspect of trying to figure out what kind of “statement” is being made…
T: Also a little of the first season of letterman, where it really was “anything goes”
B: How long is the show?
T: The show is supposed to be 3 minutes.
E: We did a test last week and it was 20 and we still didn’t hit all the material we wanted to do…
T: It’s probably going to be half hour.. 15 minutes to half hour.
B: You will be doing this while you’re doing Awesome Show. Alot of work, right?
E: It is a lot of work, but we are going to try to incorporate “AWESOME” into NITELIVE.
T: it’s for people who like our show, so…if you don’t like AWESOME you probably won’t be into NITELIVE
B: I just want to say it is the tv show I am most excited about, outside of the show David and I just wrote for HBO.
T: We’re really trying not to overthink it…
E: and the fun part is you can skype us in and talk to us via webcam…
B: I use Skype. I talk to the Straitjacket guys in England on it.
T: Do you ever use the Webcam?
B: No. One last thing in this extensive interivew. Tell me about TIMANDERIC LIVE in Vegas.
E: It’s going to be our ultimate live show. See some T&E bits we did on our live tour, also a lot of people you’ve seen on our show and you will see them live.
B: It’s for hbo…somehow?
E: Yeah, it’s at Ceasers palace.
B: How much are tickets?
T: It is a little expensive. It’s way too expensive for the show you’ll get.
E: But the neat thing is, the night before, on the 14th they are doing a big party for Awesome show, and fans can come. It’s at Ceaser’s Palace at 8 oclock, totally free.
Bob: Thanks guys, for my first and last interview.
