Hunter Cope and David Wain pose with their parfaits poolside in the comedy interview series The Perfect Parfait.

HUNTER: Yes! Let’s talk The Perfect Parfait! Why center a whole show around parfaits?

HUNTER: I’ve always loved parfaits. They’re just funny! And they’re layered — like a good interview, which, of course, presents a solid metaphor for the show. 

HUNTER: And how exactly did this show come to be?

HUNTER: During the Writers’ Strike of 2023, I felt frustrated. I wanted to make something! I reached out to my buddies Danny Simmons and Joe Angelo Menconi to shoot a lo-fi digital series. The concept was simple: review parfaits around LA like Anthony Bourdain. Danny and Joe immediately went, “Maybe there’s more here… what if we get celebrity guests? A band leader? Sketches?” We just kept following the fun.

HUNTER: In Season One, you have guests like Dave Franco and Paul Walter Hauser — how did you get talent of that caliber to show up and eat yogurt?

HUNTER: Honestly? Friendship. I’ve been knocking around Hollywood for years and made a lot of friends along the way. Season One was almost entirely buddies.
