SET VISIT: Paul Rudd Tells Jason Segel I Love You, Man!

The premise behind I Love You, Man sounds like an untapped comedy goldmine. It centers on sensitive, Emo-centric Peter (Paul Rudd) who finds himself distraught on the eve of his proposal to longtime ladylove Shandi Dawson (Rashida Jones). Pete has spent his entire life devoting himself to his romantic relationships, and now finds that he has no male friends. Thus, he sets out on a series of "Man Dates" to find his Best Man, which eventually leads him to Dave Negal, played by the always-affable Jason Segel.

While on the set of this hilarious new comedy, we got a chance to talk with both Rudd and Segel about their characters. Here is what they had to say:

You are playing the guitar in this. The guitar playing looked pretty good.

Jason Segel: Thanks, I was fakin' it. Don't tell (laughing). Though by the end I was pretty convinced that I was playing it correctly, however, I think, had you plugged in my guitar, it would have sounded like total nonsense.

Paul Rudd: I can't, I can play a couple of those songs though, I tried to learn "Limelight" on bass and "Tom Sawyer", and I figured out the very basic licks.
