The role of Cheddar Bob would eventually go to Evan Jones. Unsurprisingly, neither actor booked the gig.
We just excused ourselves and saw ourselves out, tears streaming down our faces.” As soon as one of us started the scene, the other would lose it…It was so silly, we couldn’t finish. We literally couldn’t make it through the auditions. “I started laughing hysterically,” Rogen said. Both actors quickly learned that lines like, “Yo, yo, mothaf-a! It’s Chedda! What up, b-!” and “Yo, yo, Rabbit! You gotta record your s- at Paisley Park, yo!” did not roll off the tongue so easily. Rogen went first with Segel pitching him lines from behind the camera. However, Rogen said that having a buddy in the room did more harm than good for each of their prospects. “We had a sleepover at my apartment the night before the auditions so we could rehearse and then carpooled to the audition together.”
“We asked our agents if our auditions could be scheduled one right after the other, so that one of us could audition for Cheddar, with the other reading the Rabbit part, and then we’d switch,” Rogen wrote. Rogen approached none other than his friend and former “Freaks & Geeks” costar Jason Segel to be his scene partner, who, as it so happened, revealed was also auditioning for the part.
