After watching a few episodes of the show, my first question is: Does your character just wear clown makeup or is he actually, genetically, a clown?

As fictional producer Pete Hornberger on the massively hilarious 30 Rock, Scott Adsit plays one of the few regularly-sane characters. But for his new comedy Mary Shelley’s Frankenhole, the performer, director, and co-executive producer is delving into territory that’s slightly more bizarre: the world of of Dr. Frankenstein. Check out Frankenhole’s premiere on Sunday, June 27 at 12:30 a.m. on Adult Swim.

For Mary Shelley’s Frankenhole, you’re reuniting with many of the people who worked on Moral Orel, which was also a stop motion series on Adult Swim. What is it like writing for and directing stop motion?

It’s interesting for me since a lot of the time I’m in New York while they’re filming in LA. Generally, the writer and director are on hand to guide and give direction to the animators as they animate so, when I’m not there to direct, I have to put myself on tape acting out the whole episode in my apartment or wherever. And there are several directors on hand ready to help, including Dino, if I’m unreachable for some clarification. The animators are so talented and our rapport with them is so easy after all this time that there’s a shorthand between us. The nerve-wracking part is when we haven’t communicated well enough and the shot, which might have taken a few days to complete, needs to be started again from the beginning. And it’s not like, “Okay, Take Two…Action!”. One little shot is hours upon hours of work.

Mary Shelley’s Frankenhole centers on the time travel of Dr. Frankenstein and his run-ins with monsters and various historical figures. How was a concept like this pitched?

Amir, Jeff, and I are Simpsons nerds. Many times at parties we’ve sequestered ourselves and just started quoting Simpsons lines back and forth until everyone else is annoyed with us. So when we heard author John Ortved had written a comprehensive oral history of the show, The Simpsons: An Uncensored, Unauthorized History, we invited him over to talk about the’s show’s 20-year history, how Springfield has changed over the decaded, and of course our favorite characters. —Pat Cassels

Weird Al has adapted to the Internet better than any other artist from the 80’s. His Chamillionaire parody “White and Nerdy” has over 50 million views on YouTube, and is currently one of the site’s most popular videos of all-time. The song was his career peak, going all the way to#9 on the Billboard Hot 100 (his previous best – “Eat It” at #12 in1984). Since then he’s explored digital distribution which, for the first time in his three decade career, has allowed him to parody current events and songs that are popular right now. Really, it’s hard to believe Weird Al survived at all – much less thrived – before iTunes and YouTube. He recently released The Essential Weird Al collects 38 of Al’s best songs into two discs.

A lot. It’s funny, it’s bloody, it’s got the celebrity cameo of the century and I’d love to make a movie just as awesome someday. It was obvious I had to interview the director, Ruben Fleischer. Not just because our “Rubens” are spelled the same.

OH. In case you haven’t seen the movie yet (big mistake), don’t read the last question. DON’T WORRY. If that’s too confusing, just stay away from anything labeled: **SPOILER ALERT**.

In these bleak modern times, even a book devoted to comedy isn’t without it’s dark side. Mike Sacks’s And Here’s the Kicker, in which the Vanity Fair writer interviews 21 humorists (including Bob Odenkirk, Harold Ramis and David Sedaris) is decidedly serious, dissecting not only comedians’ work and lives as pro joke-tellers, but their fears and anxieties, too. Mr. Sacks spoke with CollegeHumor about these grimmer aspects of comedy, including serial killers, chronic loneliness, and how telling a joke can be a lot like a diagnosing a disease.
