Jay Chandrasekhar

Oh, this is pretty funny.

The joke about pronouncing Penelope as Penelope came about when Jay Chandrasekhar, Chandra...

Yeah.

[laughs]

I can't think of, I can't pronounce the guy's name.

Jay Chandrasekhar, I think.

I

don't know their names.

We in the right neighborhood?

There's Jay Chandrasekhar as the blind Indian man.

And there's Steve Lemme.

Lemme's the easiest one to spot.

Oh, I'm not getting this out before Saturday

... hears about this.

this.This is a movie that Jay Chandrasekhar has directed.

He directs the bulk of them.

Okay.

It was directed by Jay Chandrasekhar.

Jessica Simpson.

Didn't see it.

That one, yeah.

Where was our law and order this week, Colin? Because the next one I'm talking about is one that I've seen you draw, and it's Super Troopers 3, directed by Jay Chandrasekhar.

who obviously did things like Two People's One and Two, Club Dread, Dukes of Hazzard, Beer Fest.

Everything broke in Lizard, basically.

What's his name? Far, is it Farver? Farver.

Yeah, yeah, Farver.

He's marrying Jay Chandrasekhar's sister, isn't it? Yeah.

So that puts them at odds with each other.

After editing Super Troopers 2, you returned for Super Troopers 3.

What did that history with Jay Chandrasekhar and the Broken Lizard team allow you to do faster, braver, or funnier this time?

Great question.

Um, yeah, so I mean, I, uh, my connection with Jay, yes, it goes back to Super Troopers 2, but it goes deeper.

Um, I, so my first job was Community.

Um, I was very lucky and fortunate to get that, and I believe that was my first show to, to get a, a Jay Chandrasekhar episode, meaning-

Hmm

... uh, if people aren't aware, when, when you're hired as an editor on a show, traditionally, or at least, at least 13, 14 years ago, uh, there would be, you know, two to three editors, you know, depending on the length or, of the series.

All right, uh, so let's get to the specifics of Super Troopers 3.

Like its predecessors, it was directed by Jay Chandrasekhar, and was written collaboratively by The Broken Lizard comedy troupe.

It stars those same lizards, Kevin- Goddamn Brewery Heffernan as Farva, Paul "Blue Curacao" Sodor as Foster, Eric "Fun Police" Stolhanske as Rabbit, Steve "Penelope" Lemay as Mack, and Jay "Mother of God" Chandrasekhar as Thorny.

Now, Brian Logan Roy Cox and Marissa Coughlin return as Captain O'Hagan and Hurs- and Ursula respectively.

All right, you're still winning.

We're onto our last question.

Jay Chandrasekhar, who directed all three Super Troopers movies, has 65 directing credits on IMDb.

This includes episodes of shows inspired by Pod-appearing films.

Now, the boys are back in town as state troopers for the recently annexed chunk of Canada, which is now part of northeastern USA.

For Thorny, played by Jay Chandrasekhar, Foster, played by Paul Soter, Rabbit, played by Eric Stolhanske, and Mac, played by Steve Lemme, things operate the way that they have for decades now, which are pranks on the civilians that they're supposed to be serving and protecting.

Now, with the retirement of Captain O'Hagan, played by Brian Cox, the boys' new superior officer, Captain Markowski, played by Nat Faxon, attempts to keep them in line.

But love is in the air as the forever black sheep of the department, Farva, played by Kevin Heffernan, has fallen in love with Thorny's sister, Sarita, played by Hannah Simone.

It's, I think it's official.

I think we got Jay Chandrasekhar, did Super Troopers, to direct it, so-

Oh, wow

... yeah.
