Can you both tell us a little about yourself and how you got started in acting.
MARIA: Hi, I'm Maria. I was born and raised in LA and the color green is pretty awesome. I started acting in little plays here and there when I was very young but no one gave me an actual job acting until like... a year ago.
AMANDA: Hey! I'm born and raised in Long Beach, California. I love cats and I'm kind of getting into golfing. You should be able to fill in the blanks. I started doing plays in high school and college, where I met Maria. We started doing improv at I.O. West in Hollywood and getting some acting opportunities through web shorts we were making. Look at us now!
How did you two get involved in this project?
MARIA: Jeremy Amanda and I wanted to create a little something together just to put on Youtube and so we got together, wrote a ten page script, shot it and here we are.
AMANDA: Yup! We admired Jeremy's work on Drunk History and wanted to make something with him. Our intentions were really very modest and at the time, I never would have thought it would have ended up as a series on Yahoo!
And how did Jack Black involved in this project?
MARIA: Jeremy had known Jack for a while. We were able to bring the pilot presentation we had shot to Jack's company Electric Dynamite and they got on board right away.
AMANDA: Jack seemed to really respond to our type of humor and was really excited from the get go.
Why the internet and not on network TV?
MARIA: Yahoo came along they were so supportive and excited that we just had to get on board.
AMANDA: Yahoo was much more open minded and responsive to our concept. They were willing to take a chance on a paranormal-comedy starring two girls no one had ever heard of.
Have you ever that OMG moment or been star struck when you me a certain actor or actress?
MARIA: I haven't met John Stamos yet but when I do I'm sure it will be an OMG moment... for him, though. Not for me.
AMANDA: I met Dr. Phil once and I was so scared and inspired at the same time. But like Maria, I'm just waiting for the day when I bump into Stamos at Whole Foods. We are reaching for the same loaf of gluten-free bread and our hands touch just for a second...it'll be the best moment in both of our lives.
