Navegando por la web, en concreto por el tumblr de Neil Patrick Harris, Barney en «Como conocí a vuestra madre»; me topé con la imagen que os pongo a continuación. ¿Una foto donde se reunen Ed Helms (The Office), Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother), Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory), Aziz Ansari (Parks and Recreation),Ty Burrell (Modern Family) y Ted Danson (Bored to Death)? ¿¿Pero qué demonios era eso?? Como buen fanático de los sitcoms que soy (¿sabéis que ya ha empezado la cuarta temporada de IT Crowd? :D) me puse a indagar.
Se trata de la mesa redonda de comediantes de Emmy-Worthy donde estos geniales cómicos de los sitcoms más potentes del momento contestaron, todo tipo de preguntas sobre su duro trabajo, hacer reír, y el panorama de la comedia actual. A continuación tenéis algunos highlights en vídeo:
THR: Do you guys fear not being funny someday?
Burrell: For sure. I fear everything. I’m just afraid! I’ve never been one of those people who’s driven by my deep knowledge of how good I am. It’s like, “Am I going to suck today?” And that makes me work crazy hard.
Danson: I always think of myself as basically a 50/50 actor. There’s an equal chance that I’m going to suck.
Harris: In comedy, a fair amount of self-loathing makes you work harder. Look at Jerry Lewis. When he split from Dean Martin he had to prove himself as uniquely funny. (But) he lost a gauge of what was actually funny. If you believe you’re the funniest thing in the world, your comedy in turn suffers.
THR: But isn’t there a certain amount of confidence you need to do comedy?
Harris: If people smell the desperation on you, it’s less funny, so you have to carry yourself as if it’s successful.
¡Qué gente más grande! 😀
