AnimalControlFOX’s Michael Rowland gives us the scoop on 𝑻𝑯𝑨𝑻 jaw-dropping, LOL moment from last night’s episode, tells us what it’s like working with JoelMcHale and teases an “emotional rollercoaster” ahead for his character. Our interview:
After making his late-night debut on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon last year with a laugh-out-loud standup set, breakout comedian Michael Rowland is looking to make a splash on primetime TV with his new sitcom, Animal Control. Following a series premiere that wrangled in 4.3 million total multi-platform viewers for Fox, the workplace comedy is already fast becoming one of 2023’s funniest new shows.
I remember seeing you for the first time on The Tonight Show just like, five or six months ago, and now you’ve got a primetime sitcom — which you mention, is your first, too. What was it about Animal Control that made you want this to be your official foray into TV and the world of sitcoms? Yeah, it feels like there is so much fun on set, and the animals, just elevate everything. But before I get to the most recent episode, I do want to talk about Shred because he’s such an interesting character. I feel like he’s so pure, like Baby Yoda pure, he’s so wide-eyed.He’s got this naïveté about him. What is it about him that you think makes him such an endearing character that people love? Because he complements Joel McHale’s Frank so well. It’s a nice balance.
Oh, that’s interesting. Well, you and Joel do share a lot of scenes together, and you guys have great chemistry. I’ve interviewed Joel a bunch of times and he is the coolest, funniest person, so I can imagine while on set it’s even more fun for you guys. What’s it like sharing scenes with him? Are you guys cracking up? Are you doing improv?
And the funny moments make it all the more fun, especially with everyone’s backgrounds. I’m curious, do you guys play off each other a lot? Is there a lot of improv happening behind the scenes? Let’s talk about the new episode because I was LOL’ing with this one, it’s hilarious. That scene with the ear falling off was shocking, but it made me scream with laughter — it was just so good! I ask this respectfully, but how many takes was that? Because I feel like you guys would have burst out laughing, not being able to keep a straight face and Vella, a lot of attention was on her for that reaction.
