Plus, Ubach teases her involvement inThe Last of Us.
Robot, andAmerican Vandal.
ELISHA HENIG: That’s a great question.

That was in 2020.
So there was literally a natural disaster that got in the way of this happening.
ALANNA UBACH: That’s so funny, I love that answer.

So I don’t know if this would have happened if I hadn’t done that.
Did that inspiration just come to you naturally?
HENIG: We actually had some interviews with streamers.

I did a Zoom interview with Ninja and a couple of other streamers that I’m trying to remember.
But I think just trying to glom on to the reality of what that business is.
And I think definitely super influenced by the Paul brothers and that kind of stuff.
It’s a crazy world.
Those people are insane.
I really loved this episode and how it really shows how Pootie wants to be seen as an adult.

It’s not a very common route to go.
Obviously, your character has so much money that responsibilities are an abstract concept, it feels like.
And also just the growth that it forces your character to take.

UBACH: The episode was so rich.
Oh, that’s wonderful.
He must have seenEuphoriaand decided to bring me back.
And so I was like, I’m on to you, kid.
No, I’m joking.
I understand the relationship between a single mom and a child star.
I basically became this indentured servant/wife to him.
I grew up around those Gypsy Rose Lee relationships, and, yeah, I know them well.
We need to talk about that monologue!
What was it like to get Charlie [Day] into the show finally?
UBACH: I love him so much, I just love him so much.
I want to shrink him and keep him in my pocket and carry him with me everywhere.
They’re wonderful people, and he’s just such a fun hang.
That’s always important.
HENIG: Hes one of the most professional comedians.
He manages to make everything funny so instantly.
In a way,he’s really so impressive and scary to act opposite, but really fun.
Did you write it with him in mind?
HENIG: Of course.
He’s got such a wacky ceiling to run for.
And he had been a childhood comedic idol of mine, so that was really fun.
HENIG: It was never certain.
That’s pretty funny.
UBACH: I think it’s sexy.
Sex appeal is important.
I think that’s very important.
HENIG: I respect it.
We were all wildly attracted to him on set.
Not Rob, though!
So I have to ask because Rob plays your fatherwhat was it like to return to that dynamic?
HENIG: It was interesting.
Rob’s a real jet setter these days, you know.
He has the football club in Wales with Ryan Reynolds.
He’s got all these ventureshe’s got a tequila thing.
HENIG: Thats so good.
UBACH: Then I see them for the person they are.
And he’s such a Teletubby.
He’s a real onesie!
He’s that old onesie you throw on when you’re home eating ice cream and watching Apple TV+.
He really is something else hes quite serious for one of the funniest people on the planet.
UBACH: I’ve never met her before.
I have never met her before, and I’ll leave it at that.
And they were like, Alanna, that’s you.
So yeah, that’s all I can say.
Giving something away without giving anything away I love it.
