The audience member question about FOTC was perfect! If these four got together and made a show it would blow our minds! Let's get this party started!!!

Gave good information on how she met Kate Micucci, and formed "Garfunkel and Oates". A enjoyable interview to watch. Thank-You!

[frankmyers]

I miss Garfunkel and Oates. IFC was terribly misguided to cancel after only one season. I wish another network would give the show another chance.

Riki has a really good face for playing a psychopath (I see why she was cast as one in that Last House On The Left remake) and it jars a lot with her soft voice and likeable demeanour.

[jsteifel]

Riki is so incredibly talented. I lmao, her delivery is spectacular, and so matter of fact..

[Prionel]

Very talented ladies. Please continue your great work.

[scottdelong]

Oh my Dog is Riki cute. Sexy, witty, so real, unpretentious and natural. Saw Garfunkel and Oates in Tampa- they were great. Crowd went NUTS during The Loophole.

I agree. Never got a chance to find their stride
