I guarantee that you will laugh out loud if you watch Erin Brown's "Hot On The Red Carpet." How she somehow gets Hollywood A-listers to stand on her red bathmat is one of the many mysteries we'll explore with this hilarious woman.

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:15 AM

Ms. Brown, I presume?

Erin Brown · 2:15 AM

i hope so...

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:15 AM

I mean, who else could it be?

Erin Brown · 2:16 AM

you never know with technology these days

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:16 AM

this all very existential right off the bat

Erin Brown · 2:16 AM

but yes it is I. Erin Brown

Erin Brown · 2:16 AM

existential tuesday booga wooga

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:16 AM

Yeah! BTW - did you know that your name translates to "Ireland?"

Erin Brown · 2:16 AM

Yes I did. Thank you for knowing that!

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:17 AM

It helps to read some of your stuff…

Erin Brown · 2:17 AM

It's funny b/c my Dad's parents were off the boat Irish and my Grandmother thought they were crazy

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:17 AM

I think it's a great name! Wat up, Ireland?!

Erin Brown · 2:17 AM

she said in a thick Irish brogue "why would you name yer daughter after a country?"

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:17 AM

It's VERY Vito Corleone of you

Erin Brown · 2:18 AM

Thanks!

Erin Brown · 2:18 AM

do you ever talk to quick wits who are slow typists?

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:18 AM

It's a paradox, top be sure. OK - so let's start from our common connection, the wonderful Kelly Carlin, also a Tawkers favorite.

Erin Brown · 2:19 AM

who?

Erin Brown · 2:19 AM

haaa I LOVE KELLY Carlin

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:19 AM

So you're on her podcast "Waking From The American Dream" quite a bit.

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:19 AM

my question for you is: why isn't the show on NPR yet?

Erin Brown · 2:19 AM

Yes, she is a very cool person to have me on her show.

Erin Brown · 2:20 AM

that's a good question to which I don't know the answer. but i bet it's just a matter of time. I'm not really sure what she wants to do with it...

Erin Brown · 2:20 AM

Smodcast is pretty cool and i think an honor in itself

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:20 AM

Tis true

Erin Brown · 2:21 AM

The whole "Octagon Table" just sorta fell into place

Erin Brown · 2:21 AM

a guest cancelled last minute and she emailed a few of her friends, myself included, asking if we wanted to do a sorta round table discussion on the show

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:21 AM

now it's an institution

Erin Brown · 2:21 AM

but since we sit at her husbands poker table it is now called Octagon Table... yes

Erin Brown · 2:22 AM

a crazy cool institution

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:22 AM

OK - so we met thru Kelly, and then I had the great experience of discovering your work!

Erin Brown · 2:22 AM

lucky you!

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:22 AM

Let's start with Hot On The Red Carpet

Erin Brown · 2:22 AM

and very lucky me :)

Erin Brown · 2:23 AM

Yes. Let's.

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:23 AM

So you bring a red bathmat to all sorts of A-list Hollywood premieres

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:23 AM

Dressed to the nines

Erin Brown · 2:23 AM

Well, it has evolved into that yes.

Erin Brown · 2:24 AM

But I will roll that Red Carpet out anywhere.

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:24 AM

And they come and stand on your little bathmat like it's the "other" red carpet, and you get the best interviews ever.

Erin Brown · 2:24 AM

Aww thanks!

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:24 AM

So if it evolved into that, how did it start?

Erin Brown · 2:25 AM

Years ago I was obsessed with the awards shows

Erin Brown · 2:25 AM

And the shows about the shows.

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:25 AM

that happens when you live in LA

Erin Brown · 2:25 AM

And the shows about the shows about the shows..

Erin Brown · 2:25 AM

yes it does.

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:25 AM

this is very russian dolls

Erin Brown · 2:25 AM

and it's Ridiculous... and Russian doll like.

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:26 AM

yes - it is many things, including ridiculous and russian doll-like

Erin Brown · 2:26 AM

So I called my buddy who's a camera guy and asked him to go to Hollywood Blvd with me by the former Kodak Theater

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:26 AM

What's it called now, and is the Academy awards still held there?

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:27 AM

sorry - i should probably know that

Erin Brown · 2:27 AM

And I teased my hair and wore a tacky Red Dress that a friend had to wear in a Valentine's wedding and I did man-on-the-street interviews and spoke to people as if they were going to the awards show

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:27 AM

Hilarious!

Erin Brown · 2:27 AM

Now it's the Dolby Theater

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:27 AM

did people love it?

Erin Brown · 2:28 AM

and I think the Oscars are still there... right? or did they move to the Staples center? No I think same place

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:28 AM

so was it mostly tourists, or locals too?

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:28 AM

Did they get the joke?

Erin Brown · 2:28 AM

Yes people got a kick out of it but we didn't know if we had anything until we got home and watched the mayhem... yes tourists and people who loved being in front of a camera on a Red Carpet

Erin Brown · 2:28 AM

Yeah, people had fun with it

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:29 AM

People do enjoy being filmed

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:29 AM

★ Spotlighted from Rich Hagberg

“I love some of the reactions you get”

Erin Brown · 2:29 AM

Then I also shot "Erin Brown" getting ready at her trailer park and going to the event on her bike... like trashy sheek

Erin Brown · 2:29 AM

People see a camera and a chick with a microphone and they go bananas

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:30 AM

yes, you are a woman of many characters, as we'll get to at some point

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:30 AM

★ Spotlighted from Rich Hagberg

“I've been watching some video clips.... HILARIOUS!”

Erin Brown · 2:30 AM

Anyway, it was intended to be a one time joke

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:30 AM

I know, Rich, right? Did you see the Arrested Development one?

Erin Brown · 2:30 AM

Thanks Rich and hello!

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:30 AM

★ Spotlighted from Rich Hagberg

“Asking Tom Hanks if he remembered you when you were 9...priceless!”

Erin Brown · 2:30 AM

LOL

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:30 AM

Rich is the man.

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:31 AM

OK - so it was intended as a one time thing…

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:31 AM

★ Spotlighted from Rebecca Westbrook Toker

“That is clever and fun! I wish I had known about this sooner!”

Erin Brown · 2:31 AM

yeah and then I lucked out and got Tom and Rita on the Carpet and it was game time. They loved it and we knew we had something more.

Erin Brown · 2:31 AM

Rebecca better late than never... that's how I live my life. ;)

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:32 AM

How did you happen upon Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson?

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:32 AM

Cause that doesn't happen that often for me

Erin Brown · 2:32 AM

A friend told me they usually go to the LA Greek Festival.

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:32 AM

Ahh, a little stawkerish. I like it!

Erin Brown · 2:32 AM

Mind you this is a 3 day affair and the one hour I happen to be there they were there too. They were like the King and Queen

Erin Brown · 2:33 AM

If you wanna tawk sometimes ya gotta stawk

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:33 AM

I know that ALL TOO WELL!

Erin Brown · 2:33 AM

you probably know that...

Erin Brown · 2:33 AM

lol

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:33 AM

indeed - OK, so do you get any permits or press credentials? Or are you totally renegade?

Erin Brown · 2:34 AM

depends. for that i actually had a pass

Erin Brown · 2:34 AM

It's hard to crash big events.

Erin Brown · 2:34 AM

You really gotta hustle and make friends so you get credentials and then not be a total idiot so they ask you back

Erin Brown · 2:35 AM

it's a fine line b/c i'm not exactly a "journalist" but i play one online and being silly IS what I prefer to do rather than ask the same tired questions

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:35 AM

Well, one of the things that I think is totally obvious is how much fun your interviewees have with you

Erin Brown · 2:36 AM

Thanks! I appreciate that.

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:36 AM

it almost seems like they consider the exchange with you as more authentic somehow - like a wink and a nod to the absurdity of the environment.

Erin Brown · 2:36 AM

I'm all about the fun zone - seriously, I can act like a real sassy pants, but I only do it hard core if I know they are cool with it

Erin Brown · 2:36 AM

maybe. i'll take it Jordan Birnbaum.

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:37 AM

“Erin, how does it feel when you can pull off an actual legit crash, especially if it's with some celebs?”

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:37 AM

do you feel like Banksy?

Erin Brown · 2:37 AM

It's the same rush I get when I shop lift.

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:37 AM

lol

Erin Brown · 2:37 AM

Umm I don't know.

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:37 AM

So any stories of danger when you didn't have credentials?

Erin Brown · 2:38 AM

My camera guy almost got us arrested at the Jersey Shore

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:38 AM

snooki interview?

Erin Brown · 2:38 AM

Not sure if you caught the episode of The Real Jersey Shore... it's actually one of my faves

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:38 AM

I mean, those guys get arrested all the time, right? What's the problem?

Erin Brown · 2:39 AM

It was a Snooki doppelganger (sp) getting cuffed

Erin Brown · 2:39 AM

lol

Erin Brown · 2:39 AM

exactly

Erin Brown · 2:39 AM

My friend filming has NO fear, I had to tell him it wasn't worth it.

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:39 AM

she's a mom now, so let's take her seriously.

Erin Brown · 2:39 AM

It was the manager of Karma- one of the cheesy clubs where they hang in Sleezeside NJ

Erin Brown · 2:40 AM

sorry, Seaside...

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:40 AM

lol

Erin Brown · 2:40 AM

We used to call it that growing up.

Erin Brown · 2:40 AM

You ever go there? You're a Long Island boy right?

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:40 AM

I am, but now - I was horribly impacted by The Hamptons instead.

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:40 AM

BTW Do you get negative/positive points for spelling and grammatical errors on Tawkers?

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:42 AM

No this is the most forgiving spelling environment ever

Erin Brown · 2:42 AM

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:42 AM

here here!

Erin Brown · 2:42 AM

Hi JOY!!! YESSS!

Erin Brown · 2:42 AM

I think it's just a matter of time yeah

Erin Brown · 2:43 AM

I also think they should write a role for a gal who totes around her own red carpet to the Bluth banana stick stands...

Erin Brown · 2:43 AM

but I can't think of anyone for the role.

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:44 AM

I can! OK - so who are some of your favorite interviewees…

Erin Brown · 2:44 AM

Clearly Michael Cera

Erin Brown · 2:44 AM

haaa I think I freaked him out.

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:44 AM

Yeah he was TOTALLY into it! Melanie Griffin too.

Erin Brown · 2:44 AM

John Ratzenberger was AWESOME

Erin Brown · 2:44 AM

LOL Melanie

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:44 AM

I saw that he was hilarious

Erin Brown · 2:45 AM

OMG Dot Marie Jones is literally now a buddy of mine from all of our shenanigans

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:45 AM

That's so cool!

Erin Brown · 2:45 AM

I'd like to do a spin off with her - she's the bomb on and off screen.

Erin Brown · 2:46 AM

Well Tom Hanks was of course awesome and Rita totally remembered me the next time I interviewed her - very cool peeps in my opinion.

Erin Brown · 2:46 AM

I think I scarred Lee Majors.

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:46 AM

OK - last comment on Red Hot: the editing is amazing! Do you do it?

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:46 AM

yes the $6 million man was scared by your uncanny sound effects…

Erin Brown · 2:46 AM

Scarred not scared. But probably a little of both

Erin Brown · 2:46 AM

LOL Uncanny. That's one way of putting it.

Erin Brown · 2:47 AM

The editing is group effort. I am pretty persnickety about it.

Erin Brown · 2:47 AM

I basically say where all the cuts happen, but I'm not always pressing the buttons if that makes sense.

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:47 AM

it is so good! does it come to you as you go, or do you go into it with ideas already in your head?

Erin Brown · 2:48 AM

I'm always open to ideas and collaboration, but I have the final say. Yes I'm a control freak.

Erin Brown · 2:48 AM

Thanks!! The editing comes after.

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:48 AM

lol I meant in between the interview and the editing

Erin Brown · 2:49 AM

Sometimes during a shoot I'll grab something because I see there can be a joke in it so I'll keep doing it so we have it. We sometimes use that and some don't make it

Erin Brown · 2:49 AM

It's a challenging process -- there is a LOT of good footage that's never seen and I don't mean that in an egotistical way,

Erin Brown · 2:49 AM

but in the end, funny always ends for this particular show.

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:50 AM

So I just want to highlight a random comment that has emerged from a discussion in the forum, that I think proves how WAY COOL our forum peeps are!

Now THAT is a good plan!

Erin Brown · 2:51 AM

I had an audition today for a commercial for colon diarrhea medicine. I played a gassy wife. Very Hollywood.

Erin Brown · 2:51 AM

Yes stuffy rules.

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:51 AM

What was your motivation?

Erin Brown · 2:51 AM

brussel sprouts

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:52 AM

See, beans would have been the common answer. "Brussel sprouts" is what makes you a pro.

Erin Brown · 2:52 AM

thanks jordan

Erin Brown · 2:52 AM

almond butter was my next choice

Erin Brown · 2:52 AM

oh fart jokes. Thanks Rebcca

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:53 AM

OK - so you also write a lot for HelloGiggles.com. Tell us about that.

Erin Brown · 2:53 AM

HelloGiggles is a fantastic website started by 3 very cool chicks

Erin Brown · 2:53 AM

You probably know - Zooey Deschanel, MollyMcCleer and Sophia Rossi

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:53 AM

(That's where I discovered your name means Ireland, and I saw that Irish woman give you shit for not being Irish enough.)

Erin Brown · 2:54 AM

It's geared towards girls and it's fun and funny with a positive spin on things.

Erin Brown · 2:54 AM

I like it b/c it's really positive energy - not cynical. Cynicism is so passé.

Erin Brown · 2:54 AM

I was never a fan.

Erin Brown · 2:54 AM

So whenever I feel like it I write something for them.

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:54 AM

I liked the earlier work.

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:55 AM

sounds like a tough deadline.

Erin Brown · 2:55 AM

I also sometimes carry over Hot on the Red Carpet pieces there.

Erin Brown · 2:55 AM

They are SO hardcore with their deadlines.

Erin Brown · 2:55 AM

They are like "Erin please write more.... when you are in the mood."

Erin Brown · 2:56 AM

No, it's one of those things that I would and should like to do more. In fact when we are done I am going to think about writing a piece for them... about Tawkers.

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:56 AM

I know. People want me to do stuff, but they don't even know that my DVR is at like 98% capacity…

Erin Brown · 2:56 AM

One of my stregthns (besides spelling) is procrastination.

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:57 AM

We should have a Procrastinate-Off!

Erin Brown · 2:57 AM

Right? If you don't watch those shows you are going to miss recording something else you want to store

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:57 AM

That's the DVR paradox.

Erin Brown · 2:57 AM

I challenge you. let's start tomorrow

Erin Brown · 2:57 AM

twilight zone music

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:57 AM

OK - we'll start the procrastinate-off tomorrow, but noir too early.

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:58 AM

not, not noir

Erin Brown · 2:58 AM

oooo tomorrow is Wednesday, it's not good to start mid week

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:58 AM

you're right - what about the weekend, when there's less pressure?

Erin Brown · 2:58 AM

okay.

Erin Brown · 2:58 AM

remind me.

Erin Brown · 2:59 AM

HelloGiggles is mad cool and you guys should check it out. And I will write more. for real.

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:59 AM

So - in addition to all your hilarity, you have taken a new world by storm! Corporate training video comedy!

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:59 AM

You are like the Meryl Streep of that world.

Erin Brown · 2:59 AM

Yes, it's pretty cool and kinda random.

Erin Brown · 2:59 AM

Erin Brown · 3:00 AM

Well okay.

Erin Brown · 3:00 AM

I am pretty big in Singapore. And I'm not joking.

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:00 AM

A little more detail on the Singapore thing, please?

Erin Brown · 3:00 AM

It's a weird little niche I fell into when I met my Australian business partner Eve Ash.

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:01 AM

how'd you get an australian business partner? and for what?

Erin Brown · 3:01 AM

She's been doing business training videos for years -- like those things you have to watch at a job - like how to behave etc

Erin Brown · 3:01 AM

Eve and I met a few years ago in LA at the ITVFestival

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:01 AM

She loved my show and when she found out I also had years of corporate America jobs under my spanx she asked if I'd be interested in doing a comedy training seriies

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:03 AM

you had corporate jobs?! do tell!

Erin Brown · 3:03 AM

I haven't been to Singapore - just my face. but went to a large conference and these women wanted my picture and that's when i learned that my character Carol Davis (a bitchy ignorant corporate gal) is super popular in Singapore

Erin Brown · 3:03 AM

Oh Yeah I used to work for Xerox

Erin Brown · 3:04 AM

very exciting... I sold "Office Solutions" aka copiers

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:04 AM

Did they get copier jams at Xerox too?

Erin Brown · 3:04 AM

Yes, but they were high end jams...

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:04 AM

I can imagine

Erin Brown · 3:04 AM

It was the Mercedes Benz of that industry. So we were told.

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:05 AM

did you use humor to make sales? or did it offend people?

Erin Brown · 3:05 AM

OMG I made fun of everyone. That's how I survived.

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:05 AM

did they know it? or was that the fun?

Erin Brown · 3:06 AM

Depended on the person. I met some really cool peeps too - you know you have to meet your survival buddies.

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:06 AM

I sure do

Erin Brown · 3:06 AM

SInce it was sales most people were pretty cool or at least had interesting personalities.

Erin Brown · 3:06 AM

Then I moved onto a law firm. borrring

Erin Brown · 3:06 AM

then I worked at Estee Lauder. Free make up galore.

Erin Brown · 3:07 AM

Then I worked at Cantor Fitzgerald post 911 Thank God

Erin Brown · 3:07 AM

then I moved to LA

Erin Brown · 3:07 AM

Then I was on a show called TAWKERS

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:07 AM

And then…?

Erin Brown · 3:07 AM

no mor ann denn!

Erin Brown · 3:07 AM

nice

Erin Brown · 3:07 AM

you are quoting a movie yeah?

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:08 AM

So do you get a lot of material from all that misery, I mean, corporate experience?

Erin Brown · 3:08 AM

Yeah, it definitely had characters. That

Erin Brown · 3:09 AM

is what my stand up used to be about. And that is probably why "Cutting Edge Comedy", the corporate training videos, resonates so well with me. That office humor. But we go way over the top.

Erin Brown · 3:09 AM

Like our advice is bad but good.

Erin Brown · 3:09 AM

Asking Tom Hanks if he remembered you when you were 9...priceless!

Loved your talk the other day Rebecca! Miss the "Sheeple" though.... :-(

Erin, how does it feel when you can pull off an actual legit crash, especially if it's with some celebs?

Rich HagbergNov 20, 2013, 2:35 AM

Erin, I just got sucked into the Arrested Development premiere video. SO FUNNY!

Hey Erin, it's Mitch's Mom LOL .... you are smart, sassy I think it's time for a larger "carpet" .....for Arrested Development ... the MOVIE!

Rebecca Westbrook TokerNov 20, 2013, 2:42 AM

No! We all just politely ignore them, because we're all guilty. It's like...farts in Yoga class.

Rich HagbergNov 20, 2013, 2:47 AM

I love that you brought up farts in yoga class Rebecca! LOL!

Rebecca Westbrook TokerNov 20, 2013, 2:48 AM★ Spotlighted

Well, I've thought a lot about farts in Yoga class, because I'm about to start teaching again. I figure it's just best to address it and tell everyone how to handle it so we can move on. :D

Nice! Cynicism is exhausting...

You wouldn't believe how many suits in an office don't wash their hands before leaving the mens washroon

Rick RosnerNov 20, 2013, 3:12 AM

Bad news for Eve: someone with just a B.A. has no business calling themselves a motivational psychologist. Otherwise, why did I have to get a PhD?

Rich HagbergNov 20, 2013, 3:12 AM★ Spotlighted

Rich HagbergNov 20, 2013, 3:14 AM
