asking guffman

A year ago to­day I asked the cast of Christo­pher Guest’s Wait­ing for Guff­man a ques­tion and *blew everyone’s fuck­ing minds*

This was at the Wait­ing for Guff­man 20th an­niver­sary screen­ing for SF Sketch­fest.

I said that since their mock­u­men­tary char­ac­ters of­ten come from a place of af­fec­tion rather than just straight up mak­ing fun, how hard is it to find that bal­ance where you cre­ate a char­ac­ter that is com­i­cal but sym­pa­thet­ic – and do you ever find your­selves hav­ing to pull each oth­er back from cross­ing too far over the line into lam­poon­ing?

They took it and ran with it.

You could tell that it was a ques­tion they were hap­py to get. I think the an­swer was like 15 min­utes.

Pic­tured: Christo­pher Guest, Kevin Pol­lack (mod­er­at­ing), Fred Willard, Bob Bal­a­ban and Park­er Posey.

Park­er an­swered her part di­rect­ly to me with eye con­tact and my heart did ex­plode.
