How difficult was it to adjust to IFC’s rating? Because you can’t do a song like “The Loophole” when you’re TV-14… The only thing that wasn’t real was the protester. So you really had a calculator magician as an opening act, a sound-guy quit mid-show, and a botched proposal? Lindhome: We had that episode that’s like the gig from hell, and all of it was based on real stuff. I had a therapist tell me I had it and that everyone who has it dies young, and that’s what happened to JFK. Micucci: For me, it was the Peter Pan Syndrome. Maybe I need to shut down a little.” The biggest trap that all performers and writers find is that when something really crazy, really bad happens, your mind immediately goes to “can I write about this?” - which is good and bad.Ĭan you single out other bizarre moments from the show that fall under stranger-than-fiction? Sometimes I find myself in this super-raw place onstage where I’m like, “Maybe that’s not the best thing. Has the line between the fictional version of yourselves and reality blurred at all? Micucci: I think Riki exposes a lot onstage, so at our live shows, we talk about freezing eggs and all that.
Maybe they should, but it felt fine to me. Have any of the awkward or sad real-life story lines been difficult for you to revisit? I did dress up as Uncle Sam and marched through the streets with about 150 kazooers behind me playing patriotic songs - so that’s true, though it might not sound like it. Micucci: Well, I have been the grand marshal of the kazoo parade in my hometown of Nazareth, Pennsylvania. What else has been taken from your lives? Hopefully not a “ kazoo parade.” It’s based on real events, like Riki going through fertility treatment to freeze her eggs. We love to have it all be part of the show. Lindhome: We love super-silly moments, funny moments, serious moments, weird moments. Micucci: A lot of is about our friendship, and we kind of wanted to show the less-crazy side of it. Without spoiling anything, the finale was very tender as opposed to some of the earlier, raunchier stuff.
