Jason Segel on making out w/Paul Rudd: “It was much, much, much more intense in dress rehearsal.”

On Sunday, I posted video of the Saturday Night Live “Kissing Family” sketch where, at the end, Paul Rudd makes a surprise appearance and fully makes out with guest host Jason Segel with whom he co-starred in I Love You Man.

Segal talked to AOL’s Moviefone about his SNL hosting gig. Here is the part about kissing Rudd:

How early in the process did you know that Paul Rudd was around for “Kissing Family Thanksgiving.”
You know what happened? Everyone knew that I really wanted to do SNL. And it’s, by a standard, a marker in your career. And our little group is very close and very supportive of each other. Jonah [Hill] flew out and watched the show. And Rudd came to watch the show. And as soon as we heard that Paul is there, we were already doing the “Kissing” sketch. And he originated “Kissing” sketch. And we thought, oh, this is perfect, let’s have Rudd come in at the end. And Rudd and I have been on the collision course for a make-out for a long time [laughs].

I’ve seen every incarnation of “The Kissing Family” and have never seen the intensity between you and Rudd. That was new.
It was much, much, much more intense in dress rehearsal.

They should put that online
We were told to tone it down. I ‘Fatal Attraction-ed’ him in dress rehearsal. I threw him up against the wall to the point that I almost destroyed the set. I yanked his hair back so violently, and I basically, like, I can’t say the word, I mean, I hate-kissed him. [laughs] So hard!
