We chat with ThisJobIsHistory host Chris Parnell about the time-traveling WonderyMedia comedy podcast, exploring odd older jobs, the future of RickandMorty, and more:
Take a walk back in time to explore some of the more unique odd jobs from the past with Chris Parnell in This Job Is History. Parnell makes his podcast hosting debut in the Wondery series, which sees the comedian playing a version of himself as he interviews a variety of people from the past and get some insight for their bizarre and unexpected jobs that have since been lost to history.
Were you at all involved in helping with the writing of the scripts for each episode, or was that all on their part? Is there any one that you've read so far that you've been wanting to dive into further on your own outside of the show? Obviously, with vocal recording, it can be done individually, but have you gotten the opportunity to actually record alongside your co-stars for these episodes?
Well, there you go, this show opens that door back up for you then to start exploring it more. I don't recall if there's been a set number of episodes, do you know how many jobs they have lined up for you to explore? Well, you're a busy man, I can't fault you for that! And, like you say, these are recorded so far in advance that you never know what's coming up, I remember with Rick and Morty, when we've talked about that show, you had a similar thing where you were like, "Oh, it's been so long, I can't tell you what I don't remember."
So in speaking of coming up with all of these characters, your voice is one of the most well-known ones at this point, whether it be from Progressive ads, or Archer or Rick and Morty, but for a lot of audiences in recent years, with Archer and Rick and Morty, they're used to that certain kind of character that you're generally used to playing.
So, what do you then think is the key to finding that right balance in a fake British accent between cartoonish and just comedic enough? Chris Parnell: Well, they're all kind of amazing. Mary Birdsong has come in quite a few times for us, and she is always a delight and fantastic. I'm gonna forget most of the other actors names off the top of my head, David, I'm forgetting your last name, and then there's me there's so many good actors who come in. But, I guess Mary's the one that I've worked with the mos, she's brilliant.
Chris Parnell: Yeah, certainly in terms of hosting one, I've been a guest on a lot of podcasts, but was the first time to host one. So then with that said, what would you say are some of the biggest talking points you have going into recording sessions with your other actors to find a way to connect with them as a person before they dive into their characters?
Especially, like you said, when you have a history of SNL and such where you you have so many people that you get to work with on on set at any given time, versus now, you have mostly technicians, and maybe one other actor over Zoom. So, hopefully, you get more on-screen time in the future, even going back to Anchorman, as small of a role as Garth was, he's still one of the standouts for me.
As an actor, when you go into interviews, how do you feel about having to keep so much of it to yourself, especially when you can tell that the interviewer, such as myself, gets really excited to want to talk about that subject? Chris Parnell: I think you got a pretty good sense of the big shift that happened with season 13 without Mallory around, sadly, without Jessica. But yeah, I think it's gonna be more of us doing spy stuff, but we've just started recording season 14, so it remains to be seen what else is gonna happen.
Chris Parnell: I'd love it if it happened, especially if I was involved with it. If it happens, that would be very cool. But, I don't know that there's an assurance that any of us would get to play our actual characters. I think, if anything, it might be more likely to have an animated movie version of the show, but I'm open to whatever.
