CollegeHumor: Michael Showalter Stuff This Month http://www.collegehumor.com http://www.collegehumor.com/article:1787689 Michael Showalter Fri, 10 Jul 2009 13:00:00 -0400 http://www.collegehumor.com/article:1787689 <table border=0 width="360px"> <tr> <td colspan=2> Wet Hot American Summer need no intro to this interviewee, who both wrote and starred in the decade-old cult favorite. Michael Showalter is also a founding member of sketch groups Stella and The State, the latter of which is now amazingly available on DVD after much network nagging from persistent fans. You'd also recognize him from his recent comedy album Sandwiches & Cats as well as his very own original online series on this site.

Showalter, whose comedic style is as soft-spoken as it is dry, pairs up with sidekick Michael Ian Black in the new series Michael and Michael Have Issues. I recently talked to him about his new show (which airs Wednesday), what he doesn't like about his job, and his cats.

You've been doing a lot of press for this new Comedy Central show. Is this the worst part of your job?

No. My least favorite parts are: 1. Scouting locations; 2. Having microphones put on my body; 3. Photo shoots (I guess that kind of counts as press.)

What is the worst question you have been asked so far?
