Marc Shaiman, Jack Black and John C. Reilly talk "Prop 8: The Musical" with Keith Olbermann

On Friday Keith Olbermann invited three of the men behind the hilarious Prop 8: The Musical onto the Countdown: out writer Marc Shaiman and straight actors Jack Black and John C. Reilly. The gents speak about how the video came to be (thanks to Will Ferrell's FunnyorDie website), why they motivated to join the project, the box-office potential of Gay: The Musical and more.

I love when Shaiman notes that hating gay people is questioning God's taste, considering we were all made in his image. But I was particularly impressed by Reilly, whose skill at playing milquetoasts has probably led me to think he's a bit of a doof but who speaks forcefully and with eloquence about why Prop 8 upsets him.
