Ask 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' Stars Jason Segel and Kristen Bell a Question
Filed under: Universal, Fandom, Interviews, Unscripted
(Note: Those of you who don't watch TV can just skip the following paragraph.)
Segel and Bell certainly know what it's like to be TV stars. Segel's best known these days as Marshall Eriksen, the goofy, Barney-slapping lawyer on the sitcom How I Met Your Mother -- though to some of us, he'll always be Nick Andopolis from Apatow's late, lamented Freaks and Geeks (I still can't hear Styx's "Lady" without thinking of him). Similarly: Kristen Bell = either Elle Bishop, the psychotic human electrical current on last season's Heroes, or crack teen P.I. Veronica on the late, lamented Veronica Mars.
Anyhoo, Segel and Bell have both signed on to interview each other for Moviefone's Unscripted series to promote Sarah Marshall, and we're hitting y'all up for questions -- about the movie, their respective TV shows, the hardships of filming in Hawaii, or anything else your heart desires. They're taping this Saturday, March 15, so please submit your question in the comments area below by Friday, and be sure to include your first name and the city and state where you live. Then check back here on April 14 to see if your question made the cut. Good luck ... and may the Apatow be with you.

Your career is red hot right now, but do you have other goals besides acting? Such as marriage,kids,making an album,politics, or charity work?
Thanks for all your great roles

To both:
What quality do you find most attractive in your cast-mate? Conversely, what quirk drives you so crazy that you'd have to break up?

To both:
If Marshall from How I Met Your Mother and Veronica from Veronica Mars were to get together, how would the break go down, would slaps be involved?

to Jason Segel:
There was an announcement recently that you, Nick Stoller, Judd Apatow, and Shauna Robertson are making another movie together called Five-Year Engagement. Is there anything you can tell us about it and when can we expect to see it come out?

To Jason:
You've starred on shows that didn't make it past the first season (Freaks & Geeks, Undeclared) and some that didn't even make it past the in-development or pilot stages (Black Market Music, North Hollywood, Harry Green and Eugene). So, just how frustrating was it to be a part of so many great shows that never got their due? And with your big screen success now, do you finally feel validated or that it makes up for what came before?

Kristen, you're status has been rising. Now that you've made the jump to the big screen, do you have any desires to step back down to tv (fulltime, a main character like Veronica) or Broadway?

Kristen,
You cleared up questions about your participation in season 3 of Heroes, but there is still concern among your fan base that you don't have a contract with the show yet. Is there reason to worry that Elle's time on Heroes could be coming to an end? Especially since you were season 2's MVP, in my opinion.
Thanks.

To Kristen:
You recently said you'd love to be in Second City or SNL. If you could be in a sketch comedy troupe with any 5 people, living or dead, who would they be?

Questions for Kristen:
1. You recently said you'd love to be in Second City or SNL. If you could be in a sketch comedy troupe with any 5 people, living or dead, who would they be?
2. If you could generate unlimited amounts of electrical power like Elle, what would you do with it?

For Kristen:
If you were trying to get over someone, where in the world would you escape to, and what would you do over there?
For Jason:
Would you ever consider starting a really nasty rumor or piece of gossip just to get back at someone who hurt you real bad? If you would, what would you say?
For either Jason or Kristen:
Is there anything an ex has done to or for you that made you consider getting back together, only to follow that something up with a reason that reminded you why you dumped him/her in the first place?

A question to both of you,
How would you react to a rejections or break-ups?
Now and then (when you were younger or in school, maybe).

Did you feel any pressure to live up to the expectations people will have since your movie comes from the same producers of the hits "40 Year Old Virgin" and "Knocked Up"?

For Kristen:
1. Do you plan on working with Rob Thomas on his other television projects (guest or starring role) that he's developing at the moment, if they're picked up, if he asks you to?
2. Do you have any more information on the Veronica Mars comic?
