Did you ever consider faking any of this in post-production?

No. I want it to feel as real as possible, so when we’re pranking people in the street they’re like, "Oh fuck, this is a real crazy person." As soon as you act crazy in the street, people are like, “Are you for real doing this or are you fucking with me?” If you give them any little [hint], if they see makeup or some costume-y thing you would do for television, they’d go, “Oh!” And now I’m on TV more, so they’d go, “Oh, yeah, I recognize you. You’re doing a bit.” And I’d get called out. So, even with the celebrities, I was peeing in jars and leaving them all around the green room and the stage and putting dates on my urine jars. When you’re pranking people, people can smell fake.

It’s definitely not “fake” what they’re smelling right now.

[Laughs.] Yeah, no. It’s real! We were in New York when it was hot out, so not only did people think I was nuts, but they were getting hit with waves of body odor.

Which is more difficult: pranking celebrities or people on the street?

It’s definitely more stressful on the street, 'cause I’m like, "This guy could punch my lights out."

Like the guy who freaked out because you touched his pizza with your microphone?

Yeah, that guy was pissed. I don’t know why we didn’t include this: The guy whipped out his dick at me. As a joke, I was like, “Man, I want to suck your dick right now!” He’s like, “You should suck my dick!” The anger hormones were still raging in his brain and he couldn’t switch to comedy on a dime like I was. So he fucking whipped his penis out and he had all these weird scabs all over his hands, and I was like, I don’t want this guy to touch me, let alone punch me. He was really gonna punch me. He was pissed. But we got him to sign a release. We had a PA chase him down, like, “Can you sign this release?” He’s like, “Fuck you! Fuck that!” The PA said, “We’ll give you 50 bucks and a slice of pizza.” And he’s like, “Hey man, you can keep the pizza. I like you guys. No problem.” He signed it right away.

Did the police intervene after he tossed your mic and it hit their squad car?

No. We got out of there. The police were confused, and most of the crew went down a perpendicular street, and then someone from the sound department waited a beat and went and grabbed it. But I think the police were like, “Do I want to get involved in that?” Maybe not. [Laughs.] I’m actually surprised the police didn’t get involved, because we got into trouble this season.

What for?

I am legally advised to not talk about it… [Laughs.] I got in some trouble. I got nine stitches too. One hospital visit and one police visit.
