Production

"I want to take a pill so this video always plays in my head. I had to combine the words awesome and tiger to describe how great it is: Tigawesomer." - Will Ferrell

"An oldy but a goody is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2v-AkSj260 What's It Gonna Be?] . We heard U of Chicago is adding it to their great books program. If you haven't seen it, quit being jaded and watch it." - Adam McKay

"Ken Jeong is an actual doctor. That is why I hired him to play the gyno in Knocked Up. If I had seen this when I was casting I am not sure I would have done it." - Judd Apatow

In 2007, Ken and Mike recorded a song called [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2v-AkSj260 What's It Gonna Be?] , and starred in the satirical music video of the same title directed by Clay Allen. Once the video was posted on the internet on such sites as Funny or Die and You Tube, it gained mass exposure as a Viral Video. MTV Films went into talks about creating a feature film based on the music video, and Mike and Ken went back to the studio to record more tracks such as "Fuck That Perm Straight", "Million Dollar Strong," and "I Get High All Day." This will be the first feature film to be made based on a viral video. Management 360 as well as Todd Phillips and Scott Budnick are producing. It is expected to go into production later this year.

Promotion

In the past few months, Mike and Ken have been seen at many comedy clubs around Los Angeles such as Largo, UCB Theater, The Ice House, and The Improv. They have been performing their usual "What's it gonna be?", as well as trying out new material and songs in preparations for their upcoming shows at the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal.
