From COMEDY CENTRAL INSIDER — There are a few similarities between the MTV oldie, The State, and the notable MTV newbie[-ish] Human Giant. So Showalter interviews the guys, but not without some confrontation. Check out the comedic blood bath, after the jump!
Who do you have to blow to get some love for "The State"?
Michael Showalter is fast becoming the world’s foremost comedian interviewer of other comedians (see: the best web talk show: College Humor’s The Michael Showalter Showalter.)
This time, he’s interviewing MTV’s sketch comedy group Human Giant (Rob Huebel, Aziz Ansari and Paul Scheer) for Radar Magazine. The interview starts out interesting but normal, and then suddenly takes a confrontational turn:
Showalter: "So when Radar asked me to do this interview, I was like, "This is great," because I feel like I have a kinship with you guys because you’re doing a sketch show on MTV and obviously I did a sketch show on MTV. But then I was reading some of your interviews and a lot of people ask you what your influences are and you never mention The State. And I just wanted to know what was up with that."
SCHEER: "Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa!"
