A Day With Mitch Hurwitz (pictured above in the bicycle outfit)

Mitch Hurwitz not only played “Cool Eric” on last night’s episode, he also created a show called Arrested Development. Needless to say, he was hilarious. In fact, he was so funny that the guys couldn’t even look at him during the scene where he introduced himself because they would just start laughing. (I actually had to sit in another room because I laughed so hard during one take that you could hear it in the video)

He improvised a different joke on almost every take so it’s hard to remember all of what he said, but here are a few that stood out:

• When talking about his need for a new bicycle seat, “I have nowhere to be tonight, I certainly can’t muster an erection thanks to that bicycle seat.”
• The Black Henderson line was improvised.
• On one take he threw the sandwiches really hard at Blake and Ders, but we couldn’t use it because Blake laughed.
• The Norwegian word he says is made up (might be an actual word, but he just said it).
• The runner about calling himself “cool Eric” and how “some young people came up with it” was improvised.
• The line, “I love people. Another way to say that would be - I love people,” made everyone laugh so hard he had to do it again (also improvised).

We were really lucky to work with him and we hope that you guys had as much fun watching the episode as we did making it.
