Crashlete's Stevie Nelson

Q. How would you describe Crashletes to someone who hasn't seen it yet?

A.I would describe it as a clip show filled with the best of the worst sports fails. It's like a sports clip show's sad little brother who isn't very talented.

Q.What can you tell us about the upcoming season?

A.The second season is filled with more of the stuff you loved from the first season, but is somehow more fun. Hard to believe, but true.

Q.What's it like working with Rob and Brandon?

A. They are like the gigantic big brothers I never had. They're both so incredibly funny and we have each other's backs. Gronk is also good at EVERY single sports which doesn't even seem fair. When we aren't shooting, we play around with the sports equipment on set and Gronk is pro at all of them.

Q. Does anything crazy or embarrassing ever happen to you guys while filming?

A.I mean, it's so embarrassing when you say a joke and nobody laughs. There is a room full of people and not one person laughs. If there was some sort of closet to hide in after that happens, I would totally go sulk in it. Also, sometimes you just can't get a line right and that's embarrassing too. I'm also not athletically gifted, so almost anytime someone throws a ball to me, I miss it. I am the ultimate Crashlete.

Q.What's your athletic background?

A.I played tee-ball when I was 6-years-old, but was so bad that I got benched. I would take forever to hit the ball. I also did karate (tang su do), gymnastics, ballet and tennis. I was probably best at karate.

Q.Who are you favorite sports teams?

A. I absolutely love the Dodgers and Lakers. As an LA native, it's hard not to love my home teams.

Q.Aside from funny clips and bloopers, what are a few of your "Go-To" Web sites?

A. To be honest, I don't spend a ton of time online, but I do listen to a lot of books on Audible. That's probably my favorite thing to do online. I find a book I love, download it and listen.

Q.What are some of your favorite or most memorable sports fails that Crashletes has highlighted?

A. I always like the clips animal athletes, it combines everything I want to see in one clip.

Q.Do you have any other projects coming up that we should keep an eye out for?

A.I just shot a short film called "Hollywood Breakup" directed by Alex Grossman and that should be coming out soon and I just did an episode of Paul Scheer's new show called "Drive Share" which is super funny and everybody should watch.

Q.Can you comment on what it's like to be part of the Nickelodeon family?

A.It's really wonderful to be a part of the Nickelodeon family. They have made me feel at home since the first day of shooting. I love how positive and receptive everyone is and they really listen to our ideas. It's really a dream.

Crashlete's Brandon Broady

Q. How would you describe Crashletes to someone who hasn't seen it yet?

A. Crashletes is an awesome viral clip show with a faux sports angle. We find clips from all over the web, and present them in creative ways. "Tree-Jected" was one of my favorite categories from season one that featured people getting hurt by trees.

Q.What can you tell us about the upcoming season?

A. With season two, we found out what worked really well from season 1 and took those things a step further. There's more rapping, dancing, and jumping into different characters for the sake of selliing the funny.

Q.What's it like working with Rob and Brandon?

A. Working with Stevie and Rob is great. We're very comfortable with one another now and it feels like a family. Sometimes were teaming on one another and sometimes I'm getting teamed up on by them. Just like a real family lol!

Q. Does anything crazy or embarrassing ever happen to you guys while filming?

A. Some of the embarrassing things that happen when filming is probably when we flub a line and the word that comes out of our mouth is definitely not what was supposed to be said.

Q.What's your athletic background?

A. Contrary to popular belief, I'm actually pretty athletic. I've played various team sports including basketball, soccer, softball, swim team, and others like wrestling and golf. If we count video games, I'm a hard core E sports guy as well.

Q.Who are you favorite sports teams?

A. I'm a hometeam fan so Redskins, Wizards, and Nationals. However I do enjoy watching the Clippers play, and intend on checking out some LA Rams games since I now live in L.A..

Q.Aside from funny clips and bloopers, what are a few of your "Go-To" Web sites?

Some of my go to websites are YouTube, hotnewhiphop.com, ign.com, espn.com, imdb.com, and laughfactory.com

Q.What are some of your favorite or most memorable sports fails that Crashletes has highlighted?

A.It's hard to remember exactly what sports fail was the craziest because I've seen thousands of clips over the course of two seasons, however some of my favorite categories in season two were "we've got spirits" and "bird watching."

Q.Do you have any other projects coming up that we should keep an eye out for?

A. When I am not shooting crashletes, I am a stand-up comedian and produce various sketches and song parodies, so I would be on the lookout for those on my YouTube channel, Therealparadeez and show dates on my site BrandonBroady.com

Q.Can you comment on what it's like to be part of the Nickelodeon family?

A. Being in the Nickelodeon family is awesome! I love them so much everyone is so generous and thoughtful and it never feels like I'm a kid on a kids network I just feel like I'm a part of a family that is all young at heart.
