By now I'm sure most of you have seen the sketch where Carlos takes in a couple of stranded Penguins. Now I'm gonna give you some behind the scenes info you only get here on the blog.

You might be thinking how did they come up with this? Here's how. Carlos showed up one day and he was up late watching this show on National Geographic channel about this guy who lives with Wolves. That night he had a dream that he was forced to raise penguins. After that we started writing the piece, but first we all watched the Wolf guy show. (For comments about him and his show - check for a new installment for "Are You Freaking Kidding Me") Two weeks later we had penguins on our stage.

The penguins were awesome, but they had a lot of strict rules. They could only work six hours a day, and if you wanted the penguin to hold something in the shot...it took about a week to train them.

Unfortunately we needed more time to film the piece then we had with the penguins so, we built these amazing animatronic dublicates of the tow little guys.

Joseph really swam with the Penguins, but was frightened at first. He was worried they were going to bite him. It took quite a bit of coaxing but it all worked out.

Again the Computer Graphics guys came through making it seem that Joseph was hunting Penguins in the South Pole. But it was all green screen.

As a parting gift I thought I through in a picture of Brad hanging with the real penguins while dressed in a penguin suit.

If there is anything more you'd like to know about this piece or any other piece send me your questions.
