"Kind of like 'Doctor Who,' but a really terrible duo," he said.Now we’ve recovered from over indulging in Boston’s culinary delights, we’re ready to share our highlights from this year’s EARL Boston Conference. "I wish every season this group of idiots had to go and figure out a whole new life for themselves together because we just got sh** canned or screwed their way out of the last occupation that they had," he said.įacetiously, Yates also imagined Pam and Krieger in a spinoff show where they time travel. Yates would love the same group to get into new predicaments every season, kind of like season five, when it was re-named "Archer: Vice" and they became coke dealers. But you can kind of tell there’s this like underlying love, this weird, unfortunate family drama love that they all have for each other that I really think makes it work. Nash agreed: "I honestly think that’s why the comedy works so well, because without the charm and the right chemistry I think as mean as these characters are to each other, it wouldn’t work. They're a big huge dysfunctional family." Yates said the show works because the characters "really like each other but hate each other at the same time. "All I ever wanted out of this was to voice a cool cartoon character and have cool merch and be able to go to Comic-Con, and all that’s happened so I’m just riding it out until I die now." "This was really all I ever set out to do with this little career of mine," Yates said. (I was even a guest once.) He was also a regular character on Alton Brown's long-running Food Network show "Good Eats." I've known Yates for more than 12 years and wrote about his mock talk show he did at Dad's Garage in the early 2000s. You know people will come up to see shows that wouldn’t have known about Dad’s if they weren’t already "Archer" fans, which is super cool, because that’s brought a lot of people to the theater that didn’t know about us, too." Pam's Twitter occasionally explores her side job as a bouncer at a strip club called Crammers.įor Nash, this is a primo job that helps Dad's Garage, which is currently using 7 Stages in Little Five Points until their new theater is built : "It’s such an awesome thing that we still get to live in our home state and do this amazing show and work at the theater that we love every weekend. Lucky said he uses Krieger's Twitter account to delve into Krieger's plans for world domination. These are two of Atlanta's funniest people, cranking out comedy." "They both control their respective character Twitter accounts, writing all the jokes themselves. "We give them a lot of freedom to be their naturally funny, talented selves as much as possible," Thompson said. And Nash's use of "ding dongs" became something Pam says. For instance, Yates says "yep yep yep" a lot so Krieger does, too. Reed knows them so well personally, Yates said their own quirks get incorporated into their animated characters. "I would not want to play any other character other than Krieger," he said. Yates said he's a science nerd with a macabre sense of humor himself, which fits Dr. "Pam's become so much cooler than I am as a human being so now I'm just aspiring to be as cool as Pam is one day." "I work in an improv theater with a bunch of dudes, and I have a trucker’s mouth and like I’m a real jackass," Nash said. Nash said in a recent phone conference interview that Pam, as the HR person at this dysfunctional spy agency, was written originally as "overweight and mousy." Reed over time shifted the character to better suit Nash so she became more brazen, more sexual.
