We talk to Jennifer Whalen of Baroness von Sketch Show about its just-concluded fourth season. JenniferWhalen BaronessShow
: I think it’s pretty huge. I think we’re all influenced by it. Canada, we’re a part of the Commonwealth, so we get a lot more British culture than I think the States does. In fact, Meredith [MacNeill] lived in England for many years, so we definitely have a British sensibility and a British-tinged flavor.: One thing I really enjoy about the series is that the sketches don’t ever really overstay their welcome.
There’s definitely been sketches that we’ve filmed and not kind of loved and then revisited. Or just ones that we haven’t even filmed, the ones that didn’t make it out of the writing room for whatever reason, that we liked, and then we kind of didn’t quite crack. The bra shopping sketch from this year started in Season [Two] with this great writer, Ify Chiwetelu. She wrote this thing about bra shopping when you’re a larger size and we loved it, and for whatever reason, didn’t do it [then].
And then we go to shoot. When we’re shooting, the days are long, but we have a lot of fun and we generally get the sketch to script, but we also improvise. So we’ll improvise a lot in the top and the bottom, and it’ll be funny because we really know the material by that time, because we’ve been with it in the writing room, rehearsing and stuff. And it’s really funny how sometimes you will be in the scene, in the moment, and you’re like, “I know what the ending of this thing is.
: All four of you play a range of characters, but are there any specific characters or bits that you personally prefer to play? My particular favorite sketch focused on you is: Oh, thank you. I loved it. I love it too. Being Denver was fun. It was kind of hard to put her back in the box. I thought I wouldn’t be into all of the contouring. But the minute I took a selfie, I was like, “Oh, this is why people do this. Oh wow.” I couldn’t stop taking pictures of myself. It was crazy. I love her.
