KW: I liked how the movie paid homage to the original and brought back a lot of its cast mem- bers while breaking new ground in its own hilari- ous fashion. KM: I think that’s what we were trying to do. We’re both huge fans of the original, but it was just too good to just leave it buried, so [director] Paul Feig wanted to put a fresh take on it, and I think we managed to achieve that. KW: You certainly did. I love Paul’s work. In fact, his movie “Brides- maids, “was my pick as the #1 ilm of the year on my Top 100 List for 2011, a rarity for a comedy. And this ilm ranks right up there with “Brides- maids.” KM: Wow! Thank you. That means a lot, because “Bridesmaids” is one of my all-time favorites. I think that Paul started something of a mini-rev- olution when he made that ilm. And this movie is a continuation of that. KW: Leslie, I love your Allstate Insurance com- mercial. Want my num- ber? LJ: No! [Laughs hearti- ly] To place your ad, email advertising@theskanner.com or go to www.TheSkanner.com and click on the “Ads” menu View movie trailers at KW: What’s it like to be in good hands? KM: It’s a little scary, man. KW: Kate, I like your Mastercard “Less Typ- ing, More Dancing” com- mercial, too. May I dip you? KM: Well, I’ve been dipped so many times that I have vertigo from all the dipping. KW: In September, we’re going to see both of you in the movie “Mas- terminds.” How did you enjoy making that ilm? KM: That was a while ago but, man, did we have fun. LJ: Ooh! Nashville was great! KM: Leslie and I went out and ate our weight in chocolates one night. LJ: There was also a place there that had great shrimp and grits. Oh, it was so good! KM: And Jared Hess, the director, we love. He’s such a funny guy. LJ: Yeah, Jared’s funny, and he’s so nice, too. KW: Back to “Ghost- busters.” What was the most challenging part of shooting this ilm? KM: Was it the stunts? LJ: Yeah, I would say all the physical stuf. That was challenging, because I think Paul forgot we were comediennes. KM: No, he remem- bered. He just forgot to tell us about the stunts. TheSkanner.com MARKETING COORDINATOR— INTERNATIONAL TOURISM Kate McKinnon [Both laugh] KW: Kate, what is your favorite impersonation to do? KM: Hmm... Well... It’s really tough to say. Prob- ably Justin Bieber just be- cause of the dancing. KW: How was it difer- ent for the two of you to be making a movie to- gether as opposed to do- ing Saturday Night Live? KM: What was it like? Well, thank God for Les- lie, since we knew each other really well. Being in a movie this big was was sort of a new experience for both of us. We would turn to each other fre- quently and go, “Where are we? What’s happen- ing? Are we messing this up? We must be messing this up?” LJ: Yeah. KM: She really helped me through the whole experience because it’s daunting to walk onto a set with Kristen [Wiig] and Melissa [McCarthy] who are two of my favor- ite comediennes of all time, even though there also two of the nicest peo- ple in the world.

It is our primary goal as a labor union to better the lives of all people working in the building trades through advocacy, civil demonstration, and the long-held belief that workers deserve a “family wage” - fair pay for an honest day’s work. A family wage, and the beneits that go with it, not only strengthens families, but also allows our communities to become stronger, more cohesive, and more responsive to their citizens’ needs. Our family wage agenda relects our commitment to people working in the building trades, and to workers everywhere. In this small way, we are doing our part to help people achieve the American Dream. This dream that workers can hold dear regardless of race, color, national origin, gender, creed, or religious beliefs.
