We spoke w/ Jason Mantzoukas about playing Jankom Pog in StarTrekProdigy.
Star Trek: Prodigy packs a pretty heavy punch for a series that is targeted toward a younger demographic. In Episode 15, the crew of the U.S.S. Protostar—and more specifically Dal —gets swept up in the mystery of his origins, which leads to series-typical hijinks, mayhem, and thoughtful exploration.
JASON MANTZOUKAS: Let's see. I got to say it's different stuff. I think one of the most attractive things is the variety that your question is predicated on. There is all of these things, whether it's Big Mouth, Big Mouth is, let's just say, experientially, Big Mouth is a show that my friends created and were so generous to be like, "Hey, come do this show with us." "Great, I'm in. Let's do it." I get to do that with my friends.
With Episode 15, it delivers a lot of very fun twists and turns for this cast of characters. And I'm curious, what is it like getting to explore these ideas, belonging, and these characters looking for who their families were and whether that actually impacts their futures? I agree with you completely. They are, and I tell them this every time I talk to them. But what is it like for you getting to voice a 16-year-old Tellarite? Where do you come from when you show up in the recording booth?
For my last question for you, you mentioned Seth Rogen at the top of the conversation. Collider just recently chatted with him about The Fablemans and Invincible came up, so it's going to come up here too. Have you been recording for that? What can you tease for Season 2?
