Did you miss it? Either way, you can catch up with the latest, greatest, hidden-camera comedy show as host Jeff Dye takes us behind the scenes of the premiere and gives you insight before the next episodes air! He is aided by a pair of comedians for each contestant. The pairs on episode one included. Your first contestant, Devin, the young woman from NYC who went into a falafel shop.
You had James Adomian and Eric Andre with you for this. How did you pick the right shop? We have all the locations pre-chosen. NO ONE knows we will be coming in or when but months prior the Owner has given us permission to use their business.
The only rule is he CAN NOT tell any of his employees or managers and if we feel like he has or that they might be on to us we abort and never show the footage.
She seemed like quite the trooper, right? How much is planned out beforehand, and how much are you and the other two comedians simply winging it and playing it by ear?
Did you find you had better luck getting women to stop on the sidewalk for quick chats, than with men? I think you know the answer to this. Men in NY looked at me like I was an idiot when I wanted to talk to them, young women were nicer to me because they are young women. How much of that was the situation, how much of it is because of the guy, and how much of that is based on the comedians sitting beside you? So the better they understand that the better the game.
They called the cops when she was still in the first round! What did you and the crew learn from that experience that helped in future missions — either avoiding the cops or putting people in situations that might end up with police involvement? While the show intends on testing how far the contestants can go, it also reveals something about the tolerance of everyday people. Dye emerged in the comedy scene after sweeping through the Seattle standup circuit and advancing as a finalist in NBC 's Last Comic Standing.
Of course, Dye's not on his own, with each episode featuring two other comedians to help devise the dares. He said his favorite to work with this season was Hannibal Buress, a traditional standup comic who impressed Dye with his proclivity to mess with people. Dye meets each episode's comedians before production begins to coordinate a plan and get a feel for their style of improvising. Money From Strangers has found its niche audience and its formula for success. For Dye and MTV , a new season is nothing to sweat.
When we do editing, we range it all out so it stays fresh. There's a good mix of short fuses and long fuses, with everything from old moms to hipsters. Social experiments aside, Money From Strangers functions best as escapism. It's irreverent and light-hearted, something that every length of fuse can get on board with for the summer.
