Bob Odenkirk Interviews Andy Kindler

May 7, 2008 AT 12:13PM | Comments (0)

Kindler_9 Andy Kindler is about to go on tour with Eugene Mirman and Marc Maron, so The Bob and Davider posted tour-dates and a short Q&A Bob did with Andy. Here's one of the five Q's and A's:

2.   Do you notice a growth in your audience from your steady Letterman gigs?  (an emotional growth)
More people show up wearing ascots and sunglasses, if that helps, and I assume it doesn't. Does that mean my audience is affected? Or are they addicted.....to my comedy! I notice my audience is getting taller. Or maybe I'm slumping more.

For the tour dates and to read about Andy Kindler's career as a singer/songwriter, head over to BobandDavid.com.

Meanwhile, in other Bob and David news, they were in an AHA video.

Andy Kindler: Patton Oswalt Is a "Compact Machine Gun"

April 2, 2008 AT 12:55PM | Comments (0)

Kindler Lewis Black's Root of All Evil is the kind of show that's perfectly suited for a select kind of comedian, and it'd be very hard to argue that Andy Kindler is anything but exactly that brand of comic. He's biting, smart and considers no cow sacred. In a new two-part interview with Starpulse, Kindler talks about his experience on RoAE among other things:

How many episodes are you going to be on the Root of All Evil?
I’m on two episodes, I’m on tonight’s episode where I argue, do you know the, no, it’s tomorrow’s episode where I argue against Greg Giraldo, you know how it’s spelled. Comedian Greg Giraldo who argues that Viagra is the root of all evil, while I argue that Donald Trump is the root of all evil, and then I argue in a later episode that American Idol is the root of all evil, and Patton Oswalt wears some kind of three piece racketeering suit that makes him look as if he’s the world’s most compact machine gun, I don’t know what’s he’s going for, machine gunnist, I don’t know what his look is exactly an accountant from the 30’s? He argues that High School is the root of all evil.

For the complete interview, check out Low Times Mean Good Times With Andy Kindler.

Meanwhile, check out a clip from Kindler's first Root of All Evil appearance after the jump.
