It's about a pair of longtime collaborators hosting a sketch show\u2014proving sometimes it's best to go with what you know. David Walters\n\n  Q: So the premise is pretty meta?\n\n MS: Did it seem meta?\n\n MIB: We're not trying to be meta. We're trying to be organic.\n\n MS: We're trying to be like the chronic. That's organic, right?\n\n MIB: Depends on how you grow it. I use those special grow lights. I don't know if that disqualifies it.\n\n  Q: Who's the top-billed Michael?\n\n MS: The good thing about the title is that we never have to define it.\n\n MIB: If we had called the show Jacoby and Meyers, then there would have been a fight. That would have been a much bigger problem. Because Meyers and Jacoby sounds just as good as Jacoby and Meyers.\n\n  Q: Any rejected titles?\n\n MS: Lost. It was taken.\n\n MIB: Apparently. I didn't know that.\n\n MS: Access Hollywood. That one was not only taken but it\u2014\n\n MIB: Didn't really relate in any way.\n\n  Q: You guys finish each other's sentences, sort of like an old married couple.\n\n MIB: I don't like comparisons to couples or marriage or shit like that.\n\n MS: That was a really strong negative reaction, Mike.\n\n MIB: I get creeped out by that. Because I am married. I know what it's like\u2FFFbeing married is creepy.\n\n  Q: What's it like working so closely with a friend?\n\n MS: As a collaboration evolves, you kind of end up making a choice: Are we going to be friends or are we going to be coworkers? It's hard to be great hang-out friends with someone you work with.\n\n MIB: It's kind of like a marriage. We're like an old married couple.\n\n  Michael &amp;amp; Michael Have IssuesPremieres Wed, July 15, 10:30pm / 9:30cPreview - The Farting Butterfly Sketchwww.comedycentral.comMichael &amp;amp; Michael Have Issues\n\n   READ MORE:\n\n  ABC's The Unusuals is Hill Street Blues redux**\n\n  The other summer movies\n\n  David Spade on his player image"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
