CURSED FRIENDS - HARVEY GUILLEN and NICOLE BYER INTERVIEW ( 2022)

Just in time for Halloween, they are starring in a new supernatural comedy from executive producer Will Arnett called, Cursed Friends.

After a drunken reunion, four 30-something childhood friends wake up on Halloween to realize that a predict-your-future game of M.A.S.H. (Mansion Apartment Shack House) that they played in 2002 is starting to come true for them in hilarious and disturbing ways. They must band together to help each other escape the wild fates that have turned their lives upside down -- from having 100 kids with the hometown loser, to leading a cult, to marrying NSYNC's Joey Fatone.

Nicole Byer (Nailed It!, Grand Crew), Jessica Lowe (Minx, The Righteous Gemstones), Harvey Guillén (What We Do in the Shadows, Reacher), and Andrew Lewis Caldwell (Danger Force, The Matrix Resurrections) lead an all-star cast in this nostalgic supernatural comedy, also starring, Joey Fatone, James Austin Johnson, Nikki Glaser, Kathy Griffin, Nicole Richie, along with Ken Marino and Rob Riggle, with an appearance by Will Arnett.

Nicole Byer is one of the most versatile voices in the comedy landscape today. An actress, comedian, writer, author and podcaster, she is perhaps most well-known as the host of Netflix’s Emmy nominated competition baking series Nailed It!, which has gained a cult following of viewers since its premiere on the streaming platform in 2018. In 2020, Nicole made history by becoming the first black woman ever to be nominated in the category of “Outstanding Host for A Reality or Competition Program” and was nominated again in 2021 and 2022.

GLAAD award-winning actor and producer Harvey Guillén’s inventive and creative approach to acting has won the hearts of fans across the globe in the Emmy nominated FX comedy series What We Do In the Shadows. Guillén’s role as "Guillermo De la Cruz" earned him a Critics Choice Awards nomination for Best Supporting Actor. Guillén also made LGBTQ+ Latinx History by becoming the first queer Latinx actor to be nominated in this category.

I spoke with the hilarious Nicole Byer and Harvey Guillen about CURSED FRIENDS and of course their hit shows, Nailed It and What We Do In the Shadows.
