We spoke w/ pamelaadlon about HistoryoftheWorldPartII, growing up with Mel Brooks’s work, and playing Nick Kroll’s wife.
If you’d said to any Mel Brooks fan even three years ago that we’d finally be getting a long-awaited sequel to History of the World, Part I, the epic parody film that took audiences through all of human history, they’d likely have called you crazy. But, in 2023, that vision is finally a reality, and the much anticipated History of the World, Part II, has finally arrived, shepherded in by writers, stars, and executive producers Wanda Sykes, Nick Kroll, and Ike Barinholtz.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Collider was excited to sit down with Adlon to talk about the show and how she got involved. During this interview, she discussed working with Kroll on Big Mouth and getting the call to play his wife, playing a part in one of History of the World’s larger segments, and the difference between preparing for voice work versus a live-action role.
PAMELA ADLON: I grew up with this book and album, Free To Be…You and Me, and he played a baby in it. Marlo Thomas played the other baby, and they were talking about their gender, and he's like, "Hi." "Hi." "I'm a baby." "Well, what do you think I am, a loaf of bread?" It's like this whole thing. I literally grew up knowing this entire skit. I would imitate Marlo, imitate Mel. I feel like this formed me doing all the voices I do for animation.
As someone who also grew up with History of the World, and with Spaceballs, and Young Frankenstein and everything else, it feels like it really captures that air of all of his work. I wanted to know, you are in one of the few sketches that sort of stretches over a multitude of episodes. Obviously, a lot of that is improv. A lot of that is sort of kicking things around.
