Steve Interview:

http://www.avclub.com/chicago/articles/ ... ant,81297/

Excerpt:

AVC: What’s the process like when you’re working with Ricky? Do you hole up in an office from nine to five?

SM: Pretty much, yeah. It’s not quite 9 to 5, but it is normally a daily meet-up. But we’ve had various things distracting us in different directions, I was on tour for three months, and he had lots of things going on. So it’s not quite as set-in-stone as it used to be, but when we both have time we will sort of meet up, and it’s lots of talking, lots of endless sort of sharing of anecdotes and observations, and that sort of thing.

AVC: The projects you’ve done seem to be things you really like, or rather things that are born from passion. Do you think that’s true? Do you really like working with Karl?

SM: Do I like Karl? Definitely, of course, absolutely. He’s unique, and so people are constantly baffled as to whether that’s really him or is it all part of an elaborate trick. Is he really an actor called Graham, which is what someone posted online once, which really annoyed Karl. But as Ricky and I have often said, if we were writing Karl, we just wouldn’t come up with some of the bullshit that he comes out with—it’s just so out-there that even as comedians we’d be like, “No one is going to buy this,” and he is just remarkable. But, again, I haven’t seen him as often as I’d like, because he’s been off traveling the world for his various projects. So, it’s sort of the pressures, as you get more successful the stuff that used to happen—just sitting around in a room chewing the fat—is sort of harder to find time for unfortunately.



Also, Steve was on Conan last night, but I can't seem to find any video yet. It should pop up soon though.

I thought he was on to promote his stand-up show in Chicago, but I'm thinking I was wrong now. Tried looking for more information, but couldn't find anything.

I swear I thought he was going to be on, but I guess not.

His twitter also mentions Conan, weird.

Talk shows sometimes don't air the recordings straight away. Or maybe Steve got rescheduled at the last minute.

Nice to hear he's still working with Ricky in some way :) Makes sense that it's not as often as possible but it should do a bit to dispell the 'Ricky's left Steve' rumour :)

He was pretty good as usual. Shame he was out to promote that god awful mess that is Movie 43. Can't think for the life of me why he was interested in doing that.

Getting a scene with Halle Berry, oh yeah...

Well the answer is pretty obviuous : easy money.
Steve has always been quite clear about his career choices I think.

Imagin spending a week or two in hollywood very weel paid just to shoot a few sceenes. It must be hard to resist.

Steve was on Chris Evan's radio show all morning and they were discussing that he'll be on The One Show tonight.

Watchin' it. Apparently Bruce Willis is coming on. Poor Bruce.
I can't stand seeing real celebrities on The One Show, it's just cringe worthy, like they're being interviewed on hospital radio.
Bruce could be doing the Jonathan Ross thing whilst he's over here instead (he might be, I don't know).
I liked Steve though. Steve was great. "Let's hope she's not watching" "She's not don't worry."
I want to see Steve do some solo writing, Ricky has Derrek, I want to see Steve do one, then we'll make out the men from the boys.
