Jamie Kaler Interview

Jamie Kalers plays Mike Callahan on the hilarious TV show My Boys, which did really well this year on TBS. When asked if he could relate to his character at all, Jamie explained that Mike is basically just an exaggerated version of himself. In fact, most of the characters on My Boys are exaggerations of the actors who play them, he said, which make the chemistry undeniable both on and off the set.

Before doing My Boys, Jamie made appearances on numerous TV shows and in movies, including Will & Grace, Friends, and The Family Stone. He raved about the wonderful people that he has been able to work with and learn from. One of his most memorable experiences was when he got to share scenes with Gene Wilder on Will & Grace. "I just kept looking over and being like that's Willy Wonka," he said. He added that he just loved working with the cast of The Family Stone, which featured actors such as Luke Wilson, Diane Keaton, and Sarah Jessica Parker.

Although he loves acting, Jamie said stand-up comedy is his passion. "You either make people laugh or you don't; there are no second chances when you're up on that stage," he explained. His stand-up is hilarious and when asked what inspires his jokes, he said that instances in his life make for perfect material, "like locking my keys in my car" with the ignition running.

Now that My Boys has wrapped, Jamie will switch from actor to comedian, making an appearance on Chelsea Lately and beginning a tour that will last into the fall. Several stops include New York, Chicago, and Ohio State, where he will perform with Bill Engvall, although he said he prefers to perform in small, hole-in-the-wall type venues.

Jamie will make his appearance on Chelsea Lately Friday night, and he said it's always fun to do the show, especially since he and Chelsea Handler have been friends for a long time. He added that it is so nice to see the people he was auditioning with so many years ago, like Chelsea Handler and Joel McHale, doing so well in their careers.

I really enjoyed my conversation with Jamie; he seemed like a really personable guy and was very easy to talk to. The interview was relaxed and laidback and it was so nice to speak to someone who is so down-to-earth and fun. Make sure to check him out on Chelsea Lately and My Boys, or see him live on tour this summer and fall!
