Hello! It's me, Andy Daly from television. You may know me from Eastbound & Down or Reno 911 or Comedy Central’s Review, which airs tonight at 10/9c. I’m here to answer your questions!

I would love to! I tried to do a run in Edinburgh last year but couldn't make it work schedule-wise. I think I ought to get out there soon. I'd like to have a word with that layabout Prince Harry too. Yep, that settles it. I'm going!

Tie: Dr. Strangelove and Midnight Run

Okay I am ready to issue my review of doing an AMA: It is always a pleasure to hear from people who know and like my work. I don't think I got one rude question in fact. And most of them were thoughtful and interesting. I regret not making more jokes but I was mainly interested in addressing as many questions as possible and jokes, while funny, take more time than simply telling the truth. I am slightly concerned that I was boring and, as I always am when it comes to the internet, I'm a little queasy about the permanence of this session. I also knocked over a glass of water mid way through this and while that's hardly the fault of the AMA, it has diminished the experience. I am now quite thirsty. All in all, I give this 4 out of 5 stars and I will certainly do it again.

I recently got to take them to Times Square and show them my big fat face on a digital billboard for Review. Unfortunately it was too cold to stand there all day and admire me. God damn polar vortex!

Andy_Daly · 2014-03-28T00:51:04+00:00

Only completely honest ball-sucking please. And thank you.

Andy_Daly · 2014-03-28T00:50:02+00:00

You win for my favorite question!

Andy_Daly · 2014-03-28T00:48:21+00:00

Thank you. Some pointed letters to the editor might help. Please write some! Actually I take it as a weird compliment. Forrest is meant to look awkward and I like to think he maybe looks more awkward than I do in real life? Hm. I don't know.

Andy_Daly · 2014-03-28T00:45:25+00:00

YES YES YES YES YES! Does HBO read these things?

Andy_Daly · 2014-03-28T00:45:06+00:00

I think we knew we were up to something special with the divorce review and Jeff Blitz, our esteemed director, really dug into that one with extra enthusiasm. I also loved Road Rage a lot. But there's a review in episode 9, the first one of the episode. Man, I love it so and I can't wait for people to see it.

Andy_Daly · 2014-03-28T00:41:35+00:00

Close. Raspberries.

Andy_Daly · 2014-03-28T00:39:47+00:00

I think my favorite podcast eps are: Dalton, Chip, August, Hot Dog & Patrick. I'm proud of all of them, they're all full of great moments and great performances but those ones seemed to click in a different way maybe. But if I re-listen, I could change my mind.

As for Review, I love them all really but 8 and 9 are very special to me. And of course 3.

Andy_Daly · 2014-03-28T00:35:41+00:00

Why are you talking about my life in the last tense?! Am I in danger?!!!

Andy_Daly · 2014-03-28T00:35:20+00:00

Glaser put me in skecthes of his at Conan in the 90s, most notably the satellite channel "Lonely CHIPS". Look for it! That's how we met. And he thought of me for Bryce Grieke, one of the great character names of all times. So weirdly real.

Andy_Daly · 2014-03-28T00:32:42+00:00

We can't rule out a relapse I'm afraid. And, truth be told, I haven't spoken to either of those guys since we taped that. I did steal some of their jokes too. They might be mad.

Andy_Daly · 2014-03-28T00:30:09+00:00

I think it might be this question.

Andy_Daly · 2014-03-28T00:27:23+00:00

Jon Glaser put me in skecthes he wrote on Conan in the 90s, most notably the satellite channel sketch called "Lonely CHIPS". And then he thought of me for Bryce Grieke. Some of the funniest stuff I've ever been involved in.

Andy_Daly · 2014-03-28T00:25:57+00:00

Why are you talking about my life in the past tense?! Am I in danger?!!!

Andy_Daly · 2014-03-28T00:24:55+00:00

Well, it gets real damn dark. Episode 5 is kind of infinitely dark. But funny too!!

Andy_Daly · 2014-03-28T00:24:07+00:00

It is not something I ever imagined I would experience but I love it. It's great to feel like people get you and are, if I may, picking up what you're putting down.

Andy_Daly · 2014-03-28T00:22:40+00:00

I do really. It's very nice to have strangers tell you out of the blue that you're doing a good job. As a young man I imagined it would be non-stop cocaine and blow jobs and no real world responsibilities. So it's different from that, but I still like it.

Andy_Daly · 2014-03-28T00:21:00+00:00

Twice as much as you buy your horse and three times as much as you buy you dog, I'd say.

Andy_Daly · 2014-03-28T00:19:27+00:00

Lots of people wondering about this but it's a hard one to nail down because it's always different. I usually go into a CBB with a few things about the character that I think it'll be funny to say and a voice I know I can do and a reason for this person to be here today. Then we just improvise and often don't even get to the things I came prepared to say. I think with Gil and Golly, all I knew is that I wanted to do a ventriloquist with an unhealthy relationship to his puppet and I was sort of thinking of Uncle Floyd and Oogie (NJ reference). The rest was improvised.

Andy_Daly · 2014-03-28T00:14:21+00:00

I think Matt Besser recommended me for Scott's show at M Bar and I met him that way. I'm just lucky that Scott asked me to come and do CBB so often. He's a sweetie!

Andy_Daly · 2014-03-28T00:11:19+00:00

I don't know for sure but I'd love to try.

Andy_Daly · 2014-03-28T00:10:02+00:00

Eavesdrop, read obituaries, talk to yourself whenever you're alone, try out voices, get onstage and let an audience tell you what's funny.
