Members of 'The State' include Thomas Lennon of 'Reno 911' fame, Ken Marino, Joe Lo Truglio and Kerri Kenney-Silver
DENVER — They may not be “household” names by Hollywood standards, but comedy fans are familiar with the work of Thomas Lennon, Ken Marino, Kerri Kenney-Silver, Joe Lo Truglio, Michael Ian Black, David Wain, Kevin Allison, and Michael Patrick Jann.
The rest of the interview was pretty much more of the same, with the longtime friends cracking jokes about how famous, or not famous, some of them are. Ironically, the reason they’re able to perform together right now is that none of them can work in productions, because of the Screen Actors Guild strike.
“At the time MTV hadn’t done a lot of programming, and we were non-union from top to bottom and had no protection of any kind and so they were able to pay us literally anything they want,” Wain said.
