With respect to the podcast, it seems like you push certain improvisers/characters into more uncomfortable/unplanned directions than others (I'm thinking specifically of Andy Daly, making him come up with limericks on the spot, some of the crazy places you take his characters back stories, etc. vs. someone like Paul F Tompkins who seems to have a fairly clear direction where his characters are headed prior to the episode).
Is that something that is discussed with your guests prior to recording or is it something you spring on them? Is it something you decide beforehand or is it something you feel out during the recording?
