S&N2

Orange County’s classiest couple, Sky & Nancy Collins (Marc Evan Jackson & Carrie Clifford) are packing up the SUV and taking a trip up on the crowded 5 highway this week for a couple of shows; first headlining One Stand Standable at The Improv on Tuesday night (10pm, $13) before heading across town to the M Bar on Wednesday night to take part in You’re Welcome (8pm, $5). Beforehand, the duo agreed to answer a few questions.

How did you two meet?

Sky: I don’t really remember how we met. Oh, yes I do. I was leaving divorce court after breaking up with Dodi (my first wife…a flight attendant…still hot). I went to lunch with some of my friends who were like, “Sky, this is Dodi.” No wait…”Nancy.” They were like, “Sky, this is Nancy.”

Nancy: I had just gotten my nails done so I remember I gave you an awkward hand shake. Sometimes I tell people we met on a reality show. Can you imagine?!

What’s an ordinary weekend like in the Collins household?

Sky: I don’t work anymore (I retired last year at age 35. I was in hedge funds, which was really complicated, so I sold it), so everyday is like the weekend to me. We’re busy, though. We sail, or whatever. On our boat. We have a boat. S’really nice. We do other stuff, too.

Nancy: Well, this weekend isn’t going to be ordinary. Our nanny asked if she could take Friday night off. Apparently it’s her daughter’s “quintessential,” or something.

Sky: Yeah, her daughter’s turning 15 in Mexican years, which is like 21 or 22 to us.

Nancy: So we fired her. But we still have twilight golf to look forward to on Saturday.

How do you feel about “the war on terror”?

Nancy: That sounds scary. Is that opening this weekend? I think I’m going to go see “Year of the Dog” instead.

Sky: To me, you know…war is terrifying. And terror is almost always terrifying, too. ‘Cause it’s like, I mean, the whole thing is just….you know what I mean? I mean, it’s like, fuckin’, just like the whole fuckin’ thing is scary. And I think it would be better if less people were, you know, terrified. No more war of any kind. Except Iraq. ‘Cause those guys need, fuckin’, you know…freedom.

S&N3I’m heading to the OC this weekend. Can you point me in the direction of a good, but modestly-priced, restaurant?

Sky: Modestly priced? I don’t know…like Friday’s maybe?

Nancy: A modest restaurant? Does it wrap itself in a towel because it’s embarrassed to be naked around others? Ha ha ha! Oh, I should use that one. Write it down honey.

What kind of effect did the hit TV show “The OC” have on how Orange County is viewed?

Nancy: I just love that show. But let me tell you all district attorneys do not look like Peter Gallagher. I had to press charges against some wayward youth who used our pool for some Friday night fun, and that DA was so overweight and had over grown nose hairs. All I could think about when we were in court was, “I want to give you a makeover!”

Sky: I think it gave a bad impression of what Orange County is really like. Like those people they showed didn’t really do much, or whatever. And they just went around, and like spent a bunch of money and partied and stuff. And it’s like, there are people starving out there. Not here. I don’t mean here. I don’t think anyone’s starved in Orange County in like, forever.

Do you have any favorite comedians?

Sky: I like Katt Williams. I think he’s fuckin’ hilarious. Especially when he does that part about when…you know, when he’s like, “Where are all my…” I can’t say it. But he’s fuckin’ hilarious.

Nancy: Oh, I like so many comedians. I’m really impressed with Carlos Mencia these days. He has so much material, and it’s so funny. I want to set him up with our housekeeper.
