On the Emmy nominated show “Burning Love,” she played the woman not wearing pants.

Natasha: Any tips for home decorating? My apartment is plain and boring and you said on WTF that even your dorm rooms looked nice.

Moshe: I love your taste in house music and wish I could have seen you DJ! Also you need to be on Who Charted again. Any good book recommendations other than your own? I've already read it.

ignominy8888 karma

It's gotta be with Dave Chappelle!!!!

NatashaAndMoshe15 karma

I agree one of the great tragedies of the show is that Dave was never on. Trivia fact: he was once IN The room for a champs taping during the LEX STEELE ep.

aidsymcgee14 karma

vaginalabyss9 karma

Ok Natasha, honesty time. How hairy is Moshe?

NatashaAndMoshe19 karma

I'd say he's a 7. But he doesn't have hair in gross places like neck or back. Only in super gentlemanly places.

aidsymcgee9 karma

Do you think young peoples' focus on political correctness will:

(a) revert back a little and we'll be left with a more progressive society; or

(b) revert back too much and some sort of huge alt-right movement will emerge?

NatashaAndMoshe18 karma

MOSHE: I think things go in cycles and when a horrible president is elected we will focus on different things than blogs and costumes

NatashaAndMoshe13 karma

If those are the choices I choose b.

NatashaAndMoshe8 karma

This is probably too personal, but did Natasha convert to Judaism prior to the wedding? If so, what did she think of the process and did it change her life outlook?

NatashaAndMoshe22 karma

Yes I was very happy to get out of Catholicism. Also I was in Rome this summer and swung by the vatican for confession and he said it was cool. He also said "Have you ever made abortion".

NatashaAndMoshe7 karma

Yes I converted to Judiasm, being Catholic was embarrassing I'm glad it's over.

Natasha, knowing that Moshe's mom (and stepdad?) and dad are deaf, how do you communicate when visiting them? Did you learn sign language? Do you bring a white board to dinner?

NatashaAndMoshe6 karma

Well his step dad isn't deaf but to answer your question his mom is very easy and fun to communicate. Lots of facial expressions! Also she is great at texting. I want to learn sign language it is a goal of mine.

Natasha: I didn't realize you were from Rockford until I heard your WTF interview, and it made me wonder if there was anything you missed from that area? Like any local restaurants or anything?

Also, I'm moving to LA in a week and am going to need a new default jew deli. I'd love some recommendations if you have any.

NatashaAndMoshe6 karma

seems like there is only one answer to this question: HARD WORK. It takes time and effort and there are NO SHORTCUTS other than being 20 and good at the internet. On second thought thats a super good shortcut.

NatashaAndMoshe6 karma

MOSHE: My day job was always being a sign language interpreter. I never waited ONE table!

you_are_temporary5 karma

Definitely a good backup career. Moshe, are either of the shows you're developing sketch based? Key and Peele and Inside Amy are great, but I think you and Natasha's tone on a sketch show would be incredible

No my shows are 1 narrative(the showtime one with the Russos) and 2. Talk format but with a twist never done on TV(the comedy central one)

Hey Moshe, I read Kasher in the Rye. As an orthodox jew, I really got a kick out of you name dropping mordechai ben david in there. Natasha: If you get sick of Moshe would you consider dating another scrawny jew? If yes, where do I sign up?

NatashaAndMoshe6 karma

MOSHE: You sign up with me. ALso I always wondered if MBD heard about the book. I kinda assume he has.

DontMakeMeAuditUrAss4 karma

Moshe, how do you stay sober when spending so much time on the road?

NatashaAndMoshe7 karma

Moshe: eh who knows.

Hey Moshe Kasher, I've loved your comedy ever since I saw "Live In Oakland."
