Casey Wilson: I never felt anything more immediate in terms of "every crayon in the box has its place." Elisha Cuthbert had us all go to the Chateau Marmont, which I was like, well, this is very Hollywood.



Elisha Cuthbert: We started drinking early, let's put it that way. [Laughs.]

Casey Wilson: I was dripping in sweat, I was so nervous. We went back to her house after and we had some drinks and I was like, these are some of the funniest people I've been around.

Elisha Cuthbert: Casey and Adam used to tease me all the time, like, "You're such a newbie—we feel tell your enthusiasm, you would do anything for a joke." And they were right. I was so willing to take on anything to prove I was funny, and I think a lot of our success had to do with that—all of us came onto the show with different agendas.



Eliza Coupe: Damon Wayans, Jr. and I would work on our characters together, because we felt like they needed more. We didn't want them to be the typical husband-wife... We wanted this modern, over-sexualized insane couple. So we did. The minute we met, Damon and I were making dick jokes, fart jokes, whatever. I grew up with brothers and I get along better with guys than I do with women. My best friends are both my brothers, and I don't really have any girlfriends. It's not that I don't get along with women, it's that they bore me. It sounds terrible, but Damon and I really hit it off because he's one of the dirtiest in the best way. It's smart humor that you don't realize is that dirty because you're trying to figure out the joke and you're like, that's the dirtiest thing.



Damon Wayans, Jr.: We had to have sex a couple of times. [Laughs.] Once her body shaped to my body... Nah, she's just a really funny person. We have a very similar sensibility, especially when it comes to comedy. She can be the most disgusting person on earth, which is funny to me too. But her timing is perfect, and I think out of everybody on the show, she messed up the least.



Jonathan Groff: They all bonded pretty quickly. They pushed each other, and I think Adam and Damon and Casey, especially, were really good at improving and making it feel real. Adam sometimes would even improv at the table read for the network, which made us crazy. Just say the fucking words! But that spirit of, this is something special and we're going to make it better, was infectious.
