Reddit AMA Recap: Pam and Krieger talk ‘Archer’

Look at all that Krieger
Look at all that Krieger

 

The other day Archer voices Amber Nash (voice of ‘Pam’) and Lucky Yates (voice of ‘Krieger’) did a Reddit AMA and while the guys didn’t drop a lot of hints about what to expect in season six, we still got some notes. Get highlights down below:

On what to look forward to in Archer season six!

(Amber) I’m super stoked that there is an episode where we go back to Poovey Farms for Pam’s sister Edie’s wedding, they hate each other and it’s hilarious and Edie is played by Allison Tolman from Fargo!

On how Archer has changed the lives of Amber Nash and Lucky Yates

(Amber) The great part about being a voice actor is that my life hasn’t changed all that much except in good ways like I have health insurance and my incidents of eating crackers for dinner have greatly diminished. I still get to live in Atlanta and do shows at Dad’s Garage every weekend!

(Lucky) I get to do a lot of cool stuff like cons and award shows and I don’t have any debt.

Favorite memory of working on Archer

(Lucky) Probably wrestling with a drunk Aisha Tyler at the Emmys after-party in a fancy pants restaurant. This was like, a month and a half ago.

One arc that Amber would like to see happen…

(Amber) I really want Pam to start an online dating profile and go on a bunch of weird dates and then have to break a suckas heart.

One arc that Lucky Yates would love to see.

Willie Nelson needs to be in an episode. Maybe he can come lookin’ fer Cherlene.

Favorite episode for Amber to record

My favorite was the episode where Pam is humping a gyro. Because they weren’t getting the sounds they wanted out of me, so my boss, EP Matt Thompson just said follow me and I watch through the window of the booth as he humped around the studio and I provided the sound track and that is what they used. It really is the best job in the world.

And on what she thinks about Pam’s growth over the years

I think it’s great that Pam has grown and become more of a badass and a bigger character. Don’t worry she is back to Big Ol Pammy next season.
