If Howard is King, Corinne Fisher and Krystyna Hutchinson must be the Queens of All Media: Their stand-up shows sell out theaters all across the United States; their book, F*cked: Being Sexually Explorative and Self-Confident in a World That’s Screwed, flies off shelves; and their infamous podcast, Guys We Fucked: The Anti Slut-Shaming Podcast, has hit the number-one comedy download on iTunes. By their own admission, these girls are “funny bitches.” Corinne and Krystyna recently sat down with HUSTLER in the tony confines of New York’s Lincoln Center, where they waxed philosophic about sophisticated topics like comedy’s role in our new outrage culture, Krystyna’s various sex injuries and Corinne’s outie vagina.
HUSTLER: An easy one to start—who are you and how did you get here?
KRYSTYNA: We are Corinne Fisher and Krystyna Hutchinson, comedy duo Sorry About Last Night and cocreators of Guys We Fucked: The Anti Slut-Shaming Podcast. A couple funny bitches! I moved to New York City because I wanted to intern at Saturday Night Live. I finally got an internship my senior year of college, after three failed interviews. I think I got a pity internship, because the lady felt bad when I cried. Initially she said I didn’t get the position, but then she called back and said, “Come in on Tuesdays and Saturdays.” I was like [weepy], “Thank you, miss!” The last night of my internship was the final night of that 2010 season, and I got drunk and got the nerve to ask one of the writers what I had to do to get on the show. That’s exactly how I worded it. He said, “Do stand-up,” so I begrudgingly walked away, terrified, because the idea of doing stand-up was not anything I had considered. It sounded way too scary, but I started that year and invited Corinne to my first show. She approached me after and asked if I’d be interested in being a comedy duo with her.
Corinne, you saw Krystyna once and immediately asked her to be in a comedy duo?
CORINNE: She had been an intern at my office, and you get a good sense of someone’s personality from working with them. I said yes when she reached out because at that time no one had ever asked me to come and watch their stand-up.
KRYSTYNA: Really?!
