I just spent two days filming for the second season of ZRock, my show on IFC. For those who don’t know, it’s a cross between Entourage, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Flight of the Conchords (with a splash of Spinal Tap thrown in for good measure).
The show chronicles an aspiring rock band that makes its living playing children’s parties. The first episode of the season takes place at my grandson Cooper’s birthday party. Melissa flew in for the shoot as well.
On the set, I’m surrounded by all these little actors—try spending two days in a room with a bunch of seven-year-olds who are hopped up on M&Ms and birthday cake. It makes me GLAD my childbearing years are over.
I know this sounds politically incorrect, but I am totally in favor of a good whack on the ass for a child who doesn't listen to his mother, his father or his director. There is one particular son of a gun on the set who I turned to and said, “If you don’t learn to behave , I’ will personally track you down in kindergarten, break your Crayolas, put glue in your clay, and give the tooth fairy your incorrect address, which will be really upsetting to you when I knock out all of your teeth!"
Otherwise, I’m having a great time.
