Read Joey McIntyre's chat with Reddit's Ask Me Anything.

Joey recently did a chat with Reddit's Ask Me Anything.  Here are the questions and answers:

Joey Mac's back, ALL RIGHT!
What is Justin Timberlake like in person?

What? Let me go back in time to 1999... when I last saw him... Ooh! He's really cool! But that perm is a little funky.

Hi Mr. McIntyre,
I am actually the photo editor for the the McCarthys and my office is adjacent to where you are doing your AMA. I figure this is the only appropriate time I can be on reddit at work, haha.
Out of the countless shows i've worked on, i've never smiled so much while going through the McCarthys Behind the Scenes photos. It looks like you and Jack McGee have a fantastic time serenading the audience after each show. What songs are you actually singing, and what is your favorite song to sing after you wrap an episode?
Hope i get to briefly meet you before you head out.
All the best,
Tim

Joey McIntyre 4 points 5 days ago
Tim, you sound like a fine young gentleman! Keep up the good work.
Now to your question:
Me and Jack were gay lovers in a former life. And we're doing whatever we can to act that out in this life. As heterosexual men. I think.

I'm going to be visiting Cambridge/Somerville (near Boston) soon for work. Any good places to check out, according to Joey? Thanks.
permalink
Joey McIntyre 4 points 5 days ago
Well, you're on the fancy side of Boston there. But I always say: hit the North End, Boston's version of Little Italy, and it's a great city to walk around and take in the historic sights. Public gardens, Boston Common, etc.
I grew up in Jamaica Plain. I can remember driving by your house and seeing young girls waiting outside with signs saying things like "I love you Joey" and "Marry Me" etc.
Did you ever go out and greet those girls?
permalink
Joey McIntyre 3 points 5 days ago
Oh yeah, we would always go out and take pictures a lot and say hi.

What drew you to your role on The McCarthys?
permalink
Joey McIntyre 3 points 5 days ago
It was pretty easy, I mean, when I read the script, I just thought it was really funny and really well-written so I wanted to be a part of it, but certainly the Boston aspect and growing up close to where the writer grew up, and that certain sarcastic chip on your shoulder sense of humor was very familiar to me. So I felt like I knew who this character was, and that's a huge plus going in.

Not sure if I should ask if I could get a follow on twitter or what is the craziest thing a fan has ever done? Just kidding....
I would imagine a TV would be easier on the family life than touring - what is the hardest part of the TV show gig?
permalink
Joey McIntyre 6 points 5 days ago
First of all, thank you for kidding when you are asking those first 2 questions, because 99% of the time, they are not joking.
I really do think it's the best gig in show business, as far as a multi-cam sitcom, because every episode only takes 5 days to shoot, Monday /Tuesday /Wednesday the hours are like 9-3, Thursdays are kind of a late day, and Friday you go in late but you stay late too. And then you have your weekends. As opposed to being the lead on a drama, like Donnie on Blue Bloods, and he's working like a dog. A beautiful, big, sexy dog. But a dog.

How good are you, in real life, at basketball or any other sports?
permalink
Joey McIntyre 2 points 5 days ago
I can go to my left (which tricks people for a while, so I can get some easy lay-ups), but then they figure me out, and I'm just a regular player after that. But basketball, it's very easy to get injured - you get an elbow in the face, you twist an ankle, so I don't play it anymore. I'll shoot hoops with my son, but I'm not going to go hard on a basketball court.

My son Griffin's going to be Messi, from Argentina's soccer team. Rhys is going to be Leonardo from TMNT. And then my daughter is going to be Belle from Beauty and the Beast. And when Rhys asked me "Daddy, what are you gonna be?" before I could answer, my son Griffin "A margarita." Which tells you something about how many margaritas I drink.

Which actors, past or present, do you admire or learn from?

It's hard not to think of John Ritter, and how amazing he was. Watching him as a kid in the same genre as I am in now, I'm lucky enough now to be working with his son, who is first a great kid, and a great actor. Loved Michael J. Fox. Ted Danson. Doris Roberts, the way she really is not afraid to get dark, I love that.

It is.
My daughter who's 3 and a half is finally realizing that when I say I'm going to work, it doesn't meant that I'm going on a plane and I'm going to be away for a month. I just have to explain to her "I'll be back tonight, don't worry."

You have been on the concert stage, Broadway, movies, and now a TV show. What is your favorite part of each one? What are the drawbacks of each one? Dare I ask which one gives you the most thrill?? xoxox
permalink
Joey McIntyre 4 points 5 days ago
Concert stage:
Fave part: rockstar!
Drawback: Sleeping on a tour bus. Which used to be fun, but I'm old now.
Broadway:
Fave part: I get to do it 8 times a week!
Drawback: You have to do it 8 times a week.
Movies:
Fave part: Very fancy.
Drawback: Too much downtime.
TV show:
Fave part: A dream.
Drawback: Remembering it's not a dream.

There's a flight on Aer Lingus from Boston to Dublin.

I hate to admit it, but we do have a lot in common. As Gerard lives by the motto of "Volume and repetition," that one's gotten me into a lot of trouble. I'd like to think I'm a little less sarcastic than I used to be, but now it's my job to be that way.

What’s your most embarrassing childhood memory?
permalink
Joey McIntyre 0 points 5 days ago
I don't really believe in being embarrassed, I mean, it's... we all make mistakes, you don't get very far if you don't mistakes or make a fool out of yourself or get embarrassed. So you have to be willing to kind of trip and fall to get to where you're going.
That being said, my friend when I was probably about 11, he was 13, he said that - he was talking about me in front of a group of people, he was like "I always talk about you, do you always talk about me?" and I was like "no."
And I don't know if everybody audibly went "awww" but it sure felt that way.

You could try different ideas out.... But I think we all have a great deal of respect for the writers, and we're really lucky to have them, so we are in good hands, and we do their stuff first, and then if something, you know, pops up we run it by them before the take and they say "yeah sure try it."

Hi Joey! What has been your biggest challenge going from stage acting to television acting? Best of luck with The McCarthys!
permalink
Joey McIntyre 1 point 5 days ago
Well, on the stage, I think, you have to open up a little bit more to fill the space and to hit the back of the room (so to speak) and working on a multi-cam studio audience TV show is probably the closest to that on film or television. So that would be the closest transition. But I just think it's a different focus of energy, but you are still trying to come from an honest place and "solve a problem," and you want to keep it authentic regardless of what the medium is.

Hearing you talk about a solo tour gives me the chills... Not that I don't love you with NKOTB or acting but you on a stage, singing your heart out with such raw emotion doesn't compare to anything else! Have you had any time to write any music, or do you have future plans to write? (P.S. Love ya!! xoxo)

permalink
Joey McIntyre 1 point 5 days ago
Yeah, there was definitely no Auto-tuning when we were coming up. I think it's a tool like any other, that can make a record sound better. But we've gotten to a point where producers and people in the industry don't want to hear anything but an auto-tuned voice. Most producers wouldn't even think of having a note here and there that's natural, or kind of blues-y, or bends a little bit. Which is a shame.

The McCarthys was originally conceived and shot in the single camera format before it was retooled. How do you think that serves the show better?

The multi-cam? I think the multi-cam serves the show SO much better. Having a live audience to bounce off of , and to react with, is such a bonus. I think the whole cast are performers at heart, and I think the multi-cam format lets us shine in a different way.

Filming The McCarthys and performing on stage with NKOTB have their obvious differences.. what are some similarities? How have those years of being on stage helped?
permalink
Joey McIntyre 3 points 5 days ago
It's definitely a rush, doing both. There's something about doing a tv show for a live audience every friday night, where everybody in the room feels like this is exactly what they want to be doing, and there's an excitement and a thrill when the writers come up with new changes, you're trying new lines on the run, that's really fun. But nothing can really compare to singing for 15,000 people in a sold-out arena. I'll take both though.

Thanks for joining us today!
permalink
Joey McIntyre 3 points 5 days ago
I grew up in musical theater, in community theater, so singing, acting, performing was always in my blood - although they are 2 different crafts, I've always wanted to do both. But I've focused on acting in a different way in the last few years, and I just had a clarify about what I wanted to do, and I think that's one of the reasons why I'm on a show right now. And acting in The Heat was so much fun. It was as much fun as it looked like we were having.
And those 2 gals - Melissa and Sandra were so sweet and so cool, and it was great to watch them work.
