Eliza Coupe interviewed about Happy Endings

BuzzSugar: Which of your costars make you crack up during scenes?

Eliza Coupe: Almost all of them. Honestly, all of them, they all do. If we have a scene with all of us, it's ridiculous. But of course Damon [Wayans Jr.] and I . . . they showed a gag reel at our wrap party a week and a half ago and it was edited down to two hours and nine minutes, and honestly the whole thing was Damon and I, because we completely break all the time with each other. And we do it purposely. We're horrible. The crew after a while is like, "OK, OK, alright, everybody."


Buzz: How does one get their hands on this gag reel?
EC: I know, it's so good! It's totally R-rated though. Damon and I use every single bad word that's been invented, or we invent it ourselves.

Buzz: I hope it's on the DVD.
EC: I know! I hope so too. I wish they would just release it. I think it would be such a cool thing to have it released, but I feel like there would be some serious bans on it though. It would be taken off the Internet, it's so dirty. It is so dirty.

Buzz: How dirty?
EC: Well in Happy Endings, we shoot pretty much everything X-rated, R-rated, NC-17, whatever you want to call it, and then they trim it down to make it suitable for network television.

To find out just how dirty the Happy Endings scripts are before they air and what Coupe said about the season finale, just keep reading.

Buzz: Is it in the script like that, or is it you guys improvising to make it dirtier?
EC: No, it's been in the script that way. In the episode that's going to [air] next week, my character in the script actually said, 'Who the f*** is that?' And they had to change it, obviously, but at the table read, I was like, I love that — I wish we could actually say this. But they had to change it, and the writers are so great because they know the intention behind it, and as long as it has that intention, then hopefully it will come off with the same effect.

Buzz: What's coming up in the rest of the season for Jane?
EC: The season finale is amazing. Everybody is just firing on all cylinders. There's some dancing involved, and I'm a self-proclaimed phenomenal dancer. I don't know if that's going to make it in — it might be in the next gag reel, but I do some dancing, Damon does some dancing, [Adam] Pally does some dancing, and Casey [Wilson] does some dancing. That's really funny, and of course, Jane has a mission, and she decides to take matters into her own hands, and chaos ensues. But it all works out in the end of course, because it's an ABC television show.

Buzz: And Brian Austin Green shows up in the finale, right?
EC: Yes, he was there! I don't know if it'll make it into the cut, but there was one take that we did during the big last scene, the big finale scene, where Casey and I both end up riding him, and I fall off. But I don't want to get into details. I'll just leave you with that.

Buzz: Were you a 90210 fan?
EC: Oh my god, yes. My older brother Sam and I used to have 90210 parties, and I'm from Plymouth, New Hampshire, and you could not get further away from Beverly Hills, 90210, so it was the only thing I knew of what California was. It's all I knew. So we would watch that religiously, and I would get so mad at anyone if they talked while I was watching 90210. I would get really mad. I would have a real situation on my hands.

Buzz: Did you tell any of this to Brian?
EC: No, I didn't, but when I was younger, every week I had a different crush on one of the guys from 90210. My crushes got a little obsessive, so I had to be careful. It was good that it's been a long time.

Buzz: Who was your most obsessive crush on?
EC: I mean, I liked my Dylan McKay. I liked it. But I liked my David Silver. I didn't hate him. I wouldn't kick him out of bed.

yamcha OT, sorry bb! But OMG22nd-Mar-2012 04:32 am (UTC)
Herman Cain was on my university campus. I should have went and trolled him. People are all over my facebook going "ZOMG GUYZ I MET HERMEN CAYNE 2NITE!!!" but not in a troll way, in a completely serious "I love him!" kind of way. I can't.
trumpydoesmagic Re: OT, sorry bb! But OMG22nd-Mar-2012 04:35 am (UTC)
Ugggh. What the hell was he doing there?
yamcha Re: OT, sorry bb! But OMG22nd-Mar-2012 04:38 am (UTC)
I have no idea and I also have not one fuck to give, tbh! This republican polisci major posted a picture he took with him and...the lord is testing me. It's taking everything in me not to troll him.
neonxstardust Re: OT, sorry bb! But OMG22nd-Mar-2012 01:11 pm (UTC)
Omg, I'd love to meet Herman to troll him irl. You should have gone & been like "AWWW SHUCKY DUCKY". I wouldn't even attempt to troll him in a smart way tbh, I'd just yell catchphrases at him!

both Psych and Happy Endings had great credits scenes
drunky_yumbo 22nd-Mar-2012 02:52 pm (UTC)
Sell me on Psych, I like the guy's facial expressions in your icon but have never actually watched an episode.
listenlouder 22nd-Mar-2012 05:39 pm (UTC)
hilarious detective show filed with 80s references, great hair and fun guest stars! try out some episodes from season 1-3, if you don't like them, then you probably won't like the show. it's all very random adventures but the leads are great, they play best friends (sort of a buddy cop comedy, good cop and bad cop thing), really well done and relatable. give it a try and then join ontd_psych!
hotcement 22nd-Mar-2012 04:37 am (UTC)
she and brad are hands down the best characters on the show

she also kept me watching scrubs in the end. come to think of it the guy she was bangin' on that show was also amazing. she is always with amazing guys.
evrythingisrent 22nd-Mar-2012 01:41 pm (UTC)
He was in an episode of Happy Endings. He was the guy that lived in Max and Dave's attic.
odd_predicament 22nd-Mar-2012 04:37 am (UTC)
This episode tonight was so funny, and I loved Max's WTT shoutout during the fight.

Also Dave's mention of owning a "Coexist" bumper sticker was SO in character. I died.
trixx_r4_kidz 22nd-Mar-2012 04:44 am (UTC)
LMFAO. Even your comment about Dave already has me cracking the fuck up. ahhhh i can't wait to see this ep.
tankmachine 22nd-Mar-2012 04:38 am (UTC)
who do I need to speak with to get Jane Lynch to play Mama Kerkovitch
microminiscrew 22nd-Mar-2012 05:27 am (UTC)

YES

There are times where the faces Eliza Coupe pulls reminds me of Amy Sedaris, so I am rooting for her.
chuk_is_dazzled 22nd-Mar-2012 04:38 am (UTC)
ugh i missed tonight's episode because my friend didnt want to watch it and i didnt feel like going to my room
chuk_is_dazzled 22nd-Mar-2012 05:18 am (UTC)

brownxeyedxdork 22nd-Mar-2012 04:39 am (UTC)
I swear the HE cast needs an emmy nom.
stellar_ball 22nd-Mar-2012 04:51 am (UTC)
SAG for best ensemble.
trumpydoesmagic 22nd-Mar-2012 04:39 am (UTC)
I need more Dave/Max/Derek adventures. And Derek in general.
setsuna16 22nd-Mar-2012 04:39 am (UTC)
I loved her the most in the episode where she was talking in Polish (or... whatever it was...) and plotting with her sister to make it seem like her and Dave didn't sleep together.

Ah, that was good times.
