What appealed to you about this episode?

DEREK WATERS: I was so excited becauseI thought my character was dead.

So I was like, He’s alive?

I know I was let go.

And I get to work with Anna Konkle.

But this was also so exciting to do drama, dancing, and work with Anna.

Truly, like instantly hit it off.

We started working on a project together after this and just became instant friends.

I humbly think you’re able to see how much we get along in the episode.

And seeing you onMythic Questtoo, it felt like such a no-brainer to see you lean more into drama.

You’re so good at it.

And also with the comedy, obviously.

But I’m excited to see you do more of that.

WATERS: Thanks, Anna.

Anna, coming into this series, were you a fan ofMythic Questbeforehand?

So I jumped in and watched it before this, and it’s so good.

Its undeniable that you guys are a very cute couple that you’re rooting for.

KONKLE: Well, it’s fun.

Why was she so weird?

She made me uncomfortable.

That’s what my mom says a lot of the time.

To be mainstream and normal and funny seems a lot harder to me.

And Derek, you already mentioned the dancing the very wonderful dance sequence and how that looked.

WATERS: But did I mention my goal was to be Bjork inside of Chris Farley’s body?

Side Quest

That was my goal.

What is up with Rob McElhenney shows in these intricate dance sequences that just completely blow out anything?

Anyway, that’s a different question.

I want to ask the same thing.

How difficult is it to balance with the comedy of the tone?

KONKLE: So nice, thank you.

WATERS: I find it funny when two really funny people are being serious.

I humbly didnt think it was a challenge.

It was just so much fun.

Drama’s definitely not my normal acting, so that was just fun, though.

KONKLE: Yeah, I relate to that too.

Talk about a cliffhanger!

I have to ask both of you one more question.

And then Derek, I also have to ask you, is there a chanceDrunk Historycan return?

WATERS: Aw, I love that.

KONKLE: It’s a neat phase, actually, in life.

Our kids are really close, and that’s pretty exciting.

I have a TV project that I’m working on, and a book I’m finishing.

I’m just trying to stay passionate and busy.

WATERS: And I hopeDrunk Historycomes back.

Side QuestSeason 1 is now streaming on Apple TV+.
