EPISODE 5 is the very funny Rory Scovel. Not only is Rory one of the funniest people I’ve ever met, he is also a huge fan of the Batman movies and the movie theatre experience. We happened to be in Cincinnati, OH when the Dark Knight Rises was released and we had tickets for the Friday morning opening day showing.

One of your most interesting bits was on Conan, when you and Jon Dore performed at exactly the same time. Where did that idea come from?RS: I wish I could take credit for it, but that is all Jon Dore’s creativity. I saw him do that once with a comedian in Portland years ago. [Later on,] he and I were at a festival, and he asked if I wanted to try it out.
Did you rehearse?RS: Actually, no. We make a point not to tell each other what we’re going to do so that it feels more organic. We do know that we want to amp up the volume and physicality at the weirder sentences. Probably the best example is when I yell out “fighting Chinese kids.” That’s so much funnier having no clue what I said before it. You’re listening to Jon, and then out of nowhere comes “fighting Chinese kids,” and you’re like, “Wait, what was that guy—what was he even talking about?”
