Sit Down Shut Up Cast Photo

Hey Gasmii, In support of the new Fox animated series Sit Down, Shut Up, I had the chance to get on the phone with Mitch Hurwitz (who also created Arrested Development) and Will Forte last week. They were Hi-larious! The show is awesome and of course has a stellar cast of: Will Arnett as Ennis Hofftard; Jason Bateman as Larry Littlejunk; Will Forte as Stuart Proszakian; Tom Kenny as Happy and Interpreter; Nick Kroll as Andrew LeGustambos; Cheri Oteri as Helen Klench; Kenan Thompson as Sue Sezno; Henry Winkler as Willard Deutschebog; Kristin Chenoweth as Miracle Grohe.

Check out
Sit Down, Shut Up on Sundays at 8:30 PM ET/PT on Fox.

Here's the quickie interview:
Q: Mitch, how did you develop the personalities for the characters...was there a lot of back and forth or was it set?
Mitch: It was a lot of back and forth. It’s like once we found out that we had a chance of getting Will Forte, who happens to be on this call. We just started writing to what we’ve seen him do and what we think he can do. And then as he starts ad-libbing and putting his own stuff, we kind of end up copying that. You know, a lot of what Will does that’s really hilarious, he doesn’t realize he’s doing. He’s just a very very foolish man. Is that fair to say Will? I mean, does that hurt your feelings?

Will:
I would say, if you start at a point of dip-(sh#ttiness), you’re starting at the right place

Mitch:
I think, you know, Will is so hilarious. I think one of the things that’s so different about this show is that we have all these really hilarious people. Like Arnett comes in and we - we’re just mixing a show last night where the Arnett character who plays a very macho character, for some reason started like talking like a teenage girl in the doctor’s office...
