Hey everyone, Nikki Novak here in the Young Hollywood Studio with the leaguers. Nick Kroll and Paul Share.

Nick Kroll

I like being referred to as the leaguer.

Young Hollywood

As a leaguer?

Nick Kroll

You know, we are often confused for the cast of Glee. Because when you say it quickly to people, you're like, oh, I'm on the league. And they go, oh, Glee. It's like a weird.

Young Hollywood

Yeah, you're super young and handsome. And you, you have the lips. You could have modeled as well.

Paul Scheer

I was, yeah, I was a, I was one of the more successful female models in the country.

Young Hollywood

The female.

Paul Scheer

Who has the blue steel? Really good. Really like, I'm lucky I can't be like you guys.

Young Hollywood

You were, you were a forearm model as well.

Nick Kroll

I was a forearm model for years and then, um I stopped. And then it got hairy. Yeah. Yeah. But uh, but I've had, but then I shave it and then I just had implants put in. It's been great. Yeah, I had a I had a forearm. You can't even tell.

Young Hollywood

Yeah, I know. It looks super real. It's really so natural. That's a great thing about Young Hollywood is it's a place where you can be honest about the work that you've had done. Um.

Nick Kroll

Right.

Young Hollywood

What else have you had done?

Paul Scheer

I had my butt hole done.

Nick Kroll

And I had my butt hole done. I made it. I had it bleached and doubled by five sizes. Yeah. It's great.

Young Hollywood

You wanted it larger?

Nick Kroll

I wanted it larger.

Paul Scheer

And I got to say, I don't know what it looks like, but he's more confident on set.

Nick Kroll

I feel great about it.

Paul Scheer

He's a better performer.

Nick Kroll

Well, I feel like, I mean, it's all about air, air about moving in and out. So like that is going to.

Paul Scheer

You're feeling free.

Nick Kroll

I'm feeling very free. We're on our third season, so we could. We spent all of our money on plastic surgery, we've seen. Two and three. Yeah, so Paul, we had a nine-month break and Paul went on vacation.

Paul Scheer

I had full head of hair before in season two. Yeah, and then, I think it's such a more interesting choice now. I removed it. A lot of people are getting hair transplants. I removed it. So it's been really great. We really done a lot of great stuff.

Nick Kroll

And I asked him to Jew up my nose and that really and that really helped.

Young Hollywood

You've worked with Amy Poler. Yeah. She was in here and we asked her to describe herself in one word and she said juicy. So I'm going to put you guys. Do you guys have the same question?

Paul Scheer

Juicy.

Nick Kroll

If describe myself in one word. Amy Poler.

Paul Scheer

I have three words for for Paul.

Young Hollywood

Yeah, what is it? Do tell.

Nick Kroll

gaping butt hole.

Paul Scheer

I was going to say gigantic butt hole.

Nick Kroll

I almost fell back to the couch right now.

Paul Scheer

I'm actually giving, this is I'm I'm almost suggesting one of the cushions. Uh.

Nick Kroll

You'll stand up and the cushion will go with you.

Paul Scheer

Yeah, it will follow me out the door. They did use me, um, for the a couple of the teen mom covers. They use my body and put one of the baby's faces on it.

Young Hollywood

Did they?

Paul Scheer

Because I have like a baby's body. That's a that's a fact.

Young Hollywood

You have a really boy body. I think I want to be on your show. I can kind of see what goes on. Is there a lot of improv, isn't there?

Nick Kroll

Yeah, but it's all dramatic. Our show is uh created by uh Jeff and Jackie Shafer and Jeff has a background of working on Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm and a bunch of the Sasha Baron Cohen movies.

Young Hollywood

I don't know any of those shows.

Nick Kroll

Yeah, of course. No, no. Yeah.

Young Hollywood

So this season, what's going to happen? Because I know each of you have won fantasy football in your respective seasons.

Nick Kroll

I won the first, you won the second. Uh-huh.

Young Hollywood

So what's up for season three?

Paul Scheer

Season three, I was the loser in season two. I came in last place. And my character is being punished. I I got the saco.

Nick Kroll

Well, you always get, you know, everybody picks on you because.

Paul Scheer

Yes. He takes a lot of shots. I take it. Yeah. So this season, physically, my appearance has been altered as a response to being the last place loser.

Young Hollywood

Well, now that you've had all that work done.

Nick Kroll

The first episode, Seth Rogan is on. He's a guest on it and he plays the infamous Dirty Randy. He is really slumming it. I know we've been really sarcastic so far, but he really is. He really is straight up slumming it on our show. And we had uh Will Forte, obviously from Saturday Night Live. Yeah, we wrote me and episode that Paul and I wrote that Will is uh the guest star on and um We it's a lot of we we're three three weeks in and like some really funny stuff. Probably the most important comedy what yeah, period.

Paul Scheer

Well, you know, a lot of people confuse us. We got how many Emmy nominations did we get this year? Oh gosh.

Nick Kroll

for? So that was, you know, it was a tough year for us, but got one or two.

Young Hollywood

So I've also heard because I know the show is about football and you're a huge fan of fantasy football in real life. But the show is also about I think the creator said, you should watch the show if you have friends that you hate.

Nick Kroll

Yes. Yeah, you know, I think a common misconception about the show is that it is only for people who play fantasy football and it really isn't at all. It's it's for people that are our age and and it's just about friends hanging out.

Young Hollywood

For somebody who doesn't know, why are you called the herdsman again?

Paul Scheer

My character only had access to um women who were a bit bigger. And so

Nick Kroll

It's very kind, a very kind way to say it.

Paul Scheer

Um So he that became my nickname is the herdsman at some point along the way. You've played fantasy football. You know that the names of the teams are just It's

Young Hollywood

But it's crucial from what I've heard. There's like three major points that you guys like some article in Esquire about you guys.

Nick Kroll

Yes. They're three it needs to have some sort of a pop culture reference to it, you know.

Young Hollywood

Okay. What would Young Hollywood's name be? That's a fun one. Young Hollywood's name. What would their league name be? Um

Paul Scheer

Juicy.

Nick Kroll

Juicy.
