And I had just had my mind blown by that Assscat show and was like “yeah, I’m going to that.” So I went to that because I needed to learn what it was that they were doing during Assscat and how they all knew how to be on the same page together, and go through the same hilarious thing together. You come from a background at the Upright Citizens Brigade, what was it like taking classes there during the beginning stages of the program?Īndy Daly: I was there at the Assscat show where Matt Walsh first announced they would do a one-day workshop, the first class they would do in New York. I spoke with Andy about his background at the UCB, his thoughts on the EASTBOUND AND DOWN finale, and what we can expect to see this season on REVIEW. He just loves calling.Andy Daly stars on the new Comedy Central comedy REVIEW, he plays Forrest MacNeil an eager, over the top, ridiculous, reviewer. Children, animals, old people… doesn’t matter. To paraphrase that character: Andy Daly will call anyone, anywhere. Given that we’re now under 100 days until the election, something tells me this won’t be the last time Wisconsin voters will hear Krombopulous Michael’s voice on the other end of the phone. It’s unclear how many people the actor called, though he did say he got a lot of hang-ups. I explained that they certainly exist with Trump and he was quiet. He’s seen vids on Facebook that make Biden look out of it. It’ll be interesting to watch the debates and see both men side by side & determine for ourselves how mentally “with it” they are. This is how we win!ĭaly later spoke with a fellow who gets all his news from Facebook, and the pair agreed that it would be interesting to watch the two doddering presidential candidates square off in a battle of who’s sundowning the most. The only other person I’ve managed to get on the line was a nice woman who told me I had the wrong number.

Back in!Īs a professional comedian probably used to being heckled, Daly of course fired back.īy the way, I was calling for someone named Kathleen so my sick burn back to this guy was (bright and cheery) “Is Kathleen available?”.

Take me off your list.” That’s the worst that can happen & it wasn’t that bad. Me: “I’m calling from Wisconsin Democrats to talk to people about the issues they care about most.” Him (pissy): “Y’know what I care about? You people not calling me all the time. I agree, it’s very fun to say - and it turns out Daly has actually been helping out the state Democratic party for a few months now.ĪNYWAY, Daly tweeted out some of his interactions with voters, and it’s as much a microcosm of the Badger State as you’d expect.įirst call. Well, the 49-year-old comic says he asked his kids which swing state to “adopt” (as part of a campaign by Crooked Media’s Vote Save America) and they liked the way “Wisconsin” sounded. But why would the New Jersey native choose us? Last week he phone-banked for Wisconsin Democrats, according to his Twitter account. The actor in question here is the always cheery Andy Daly, best known for Review, Eastbound and Down, and dozens of voiceover roles. So you’d think it would get a little easier when the voice on the end of the line is that of, say, a well-liked comedy actor. (Though I haven’t been to the dentist in several years, so that wouldn’t be all she tells me.) And talking on the phone with strangers about politics, especially politics you may not agree with, is even harder.

For me, getting a live phone call is akin to my dentist telling me I need a root canal. The worst thing about election cycles - well, it all sucks, but this part sucks especially hard - is the phone calls.
