(They first met on the set of a CollegeHumor short, below.)
We started working together in our second year.
Once they began working together in earnest, they clicked instantly.

Did you feel like you had to do a song again right away?
It was Christmastime and it was just a cool show in general.
When it became a cool thing that people liked, that was really fun.
Whats it like to write for a host whose ideologies might differ from your own?
There have been a couple, surely.Perhaps recently…
SCHNEIDER:Who could you be talking about?
KELLY:What are you getting at?
SCHNEIDER:Yeah, we wouldnt write something we wouldnt write otherwise.
How does it feel to work from that perspective, and how does it come together?
KELLY:Its fun.
Every day we shoot the s until we come up with something that makes us laugh.
Theyre good actors and theyre funny, but theyre also good songwriters.
KELLY:Its not just us writing a sketch and delivering it to them.
We all just stay up all night or work on it together.
SCHNEIDER:The whole cast, basically, are co-writers.
They should be billed as writers.
They all co-write their pieces, which helps a lot.
KELLY:Make that the headline.
Sarah Schneider says actors should be billed as writers.
yo dont, yo dont!
Are you guys musical at all outside of the sketches?
KELLY:Im one of the most musical people there is!
SCHNEIDER:[Laughs.]
KELLY:Its just nice when a host comes and they know whats up and theyre funny.
Plus, its a Christmas show.
SCHNEIDER:Yeah, and theres always a nice air around Christmastime.
Everyones in good spirits.
Were there any guys that didnt make the cut in the First Got Horny 2 U sketch?
Who were the first guys to do it for you?
SCHNEIDER:Mine didnt make the cut cause it was too similar to Aidys.
KELLY:Yours was good!
Its the moment when he sings, Itmeeeansno worries.
The specific moment where I was like, Doink!
KELLY:But it was too similar toDinosaurs.
I swear that was one of mine, too.
[3:07 in the clip above.]
And what about you, Chris?
So, the other ones in the sketch, were those everybody elses choices, or were they written?
KELLY:It was a combination.
SCHNEIDER:Kates was definitely Taylor Hanson.
KELLY:It was a combination of [fake] and real ones.
It was just a group brainstorming session, basically.
Whats the sketch youre most proud of?
SCHNEIDER:Probably The Beygency, because we got to meet Beyonce.
When she Facebooked or tweeted it out, I truly danced around my apartment in joy.
That was a really cool moment.
KELLY:I got so embarrassed.
So he says, Lets just go stand by her in case.
And it was humiliating but she was very nice and very sweet.
Dance of the Snowflake was really fun for us cause it had a small, hometown-y vibe.
We really like getting stuff like that on [the air].
Its cool to be here now and to be doing those types of sketches.
