Below, their thoughts on the third episode of the comedys second season, The Prince and the Pauper.
I mean, I got my husband into it, we were so into it.
We were actually using it for inspiration but also getting really into it.

RIKI LINDHOME:Originally, it was just aThe Prince and the Pauperstory.
It was just the basic, you know, the prince comes in disguise and picks someone.
And then as it evolved it just became funnier to do it withThe Bachelorstory.

LEGGERO:We wanted to have a host [like Chris Harrison], but its always hard.
We have so many characters, like Peepers needs to be doing something else.
LINDHOME:Yeah, we really tried them.
LINDHOME:That was completely real.
It made your skin paler, and pale skin was a sign of being upper class.
So people would take little sips of arsenic to lighten their skin and look more upper class.
And women used to actually draw their veins on with blue makeup paint.
They used to highlight their veins so people could see them.
Thats based on our research.
Once ready, the women go on their respective one-on-one dates.
For Beatrice, it means showing the prince her favorite outdoor activity: hunting men.
No, really,literallyhunting men.
The unlucky target this time?
Garfield (Armen Weitzman), who gets body-slammed to the ground.
LINDHOME:[Chasing and pinning down Armen was] basically a lifelong fantasy of mine.
[Laughs] No, Im joking.
Lillian, on the other hand, goes on a hot air balloon ride, just likeBachelorcontestants.
But unlikeBachelorcontestants, the perfect date goes awry when Lillian experiences some unfortunate, arsenic-induced bowel movement.
And then were like, Oh, diarrhea.
Thats the worst thing.
LEGGERO:They had a whole contraption for me, I dont think I was in a harness.
I remember my arms were killing me the next day.
LEGGERO:We love Brett Gelman.
Hes one of those characters where you cant really imagine anyone else stepping in for him.
We had a couple people where we were like, What can we write for them?
a couple dream people we wanted to put in the season, and Ron Funches was one of them.
So we were like, Whats their dynamic?
And something about Hamish learning to read just made us laugh.
Its a silly plot, its light and fun, but it just made us laugh.
Upstairs, Chair (Christina Hendricks) is awake but without her memory.
The plan, though, wasnt always to have Chair fall down the stairs a second time.
LINDHOME:I think we had a bunch of different ways [she could regain her memory].
We went through a lot of things before we landed on that.
But something about her saying I know you did, Blanche, but who did it the first time?
just slayed us, so we were like, Wehaveto do that one.
