Description

What’s the difference between an interview and a first date? For the past decade, Amelia Dimoldenberg has been walking that fine line on her hit YouTube series, Chicken Shop Date. The premise is in the title: filmed at various chicken establishments across London, the show features a series of funny (sometimes awkward) ‘dates’ with everyone from Paul Mescal to Billie Eilish.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of her beloved series, Amelia and Sam have a cup of tea to discuss her recent sit-down with Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds (5:00 ), her upbringing in London (7:20 ), and how Mary-Kate and Ashley inspired the young creative ambitions (11:10 ) that lead to Chicken Shop Date (17:17 ). We also highlight a few pivotal episodes of the show with rapper Ghetts (24:50 ), actor Daniel Kaluuya (32:10 ), and documentarian Louis Theroux (32:52 ).

On the back-half, we unpack Dimoldenberg’s comedy influences—from Amy Poehler in Parks and Recreation to Zach Galifianakis’ Between Two Ferns (36:34 ), how she continues to expand her reach as an independent creator (43:00 ), why the ‘anti-interview’ genre has come into vogue (49:12 ), and what she hopes for in the decade to come (1:02:12 ).
