The Games team did an online Ask Me Anything session on Reddit. We spent two hours fielding questions about You Don't Know Jack and its host, Cookie Masterson.
A lot of it was just jokes and "yes, an Android version is coming," but we also got questions like, "How did Poopsie and Mayonnaise get their names?"
My response: "This is Arnie, one of the writers. My wife was watching Meercat Manor and I made fun of the weird names they give the meercats on that show, calling them Poopsie and Mayonnaise. Then because we’re not above calling each other cutesy names, as long as they’re slightly gross, we started calling each other that. When it was time to name Cookie’s cats, I slyly slipped in a reference to myself and my wife. Most of the questions are subtextually about my marriage."
We also had someone, probably a local improviser, write, "Proof request: Make Arnie and Spencer hug, and post the pic."
So we posted this picture (including, as an added bonus, the founder of the company and creator of YDKJ, who happened to be walking through and agreed to pose with us).
You can sift through the entire AMA here.
