On today's show we talk to actor Maria Thayer. Originally from
Oregon and then Minnesota, Maria's first major role was as Tammi
Littlenut, Jerri Blank's best friend, on the incredible show
Strangers With Candy. Since then, she's been in awesome
project after awesome project including Forgetting Sarah
Marshall, Arrested Development, and lately she's been
co-starring in Chris Elliott's amazing Adult Swim show
Eagleheart.
In mid-August, Maria stopped by my Harlem studio to talk about
childhood crushes, god as a terrorist, logic and meaning,
synchronicity and complexity, her evangelical mother and libertine
father, guns and pornography, social possibilities, and the chance
that I may have discouraged a number of students from pursuing
their dreams. And in "Andy's Learnin' Corner", I talk with my
friend Ellena Chmielewski about crystals and energy - super
fascinating!
