Speed Date: Get to Know 'Bad Words' Actress Kathryn Hahn, aka Messy Kathy

If you’re a fan of comedy, you probably think you already know Kathryn Hahn. But until you’ve gone out on a Speed Date with her, you don’t know [insert bad word here].

From “Anchorman” to “We’re the Millers,” from “Parks and Recreation” to “Girls,” Hahn has made a career out of being very funny. She’s up to her old laugh-inducing tricks again starring opposite Jason Bateman in the deviously inappropriate comedy “Bad Words,” which expands wide this weekend.

Hahn plays a journalist who goes to extreme measures to find out why a middle-aged jerk (Bateman) feels so compelled to win the Golden Quill Spelling Bee, no matter how many innocent kids get in his way.

When we had the opportunity to sit down with Hahn at the film’s press junket recently, we went to our own extreme measures and asked her out on a Speed Date, our rapid-fire, get-to-know-you interview format.

Among other highlights, we found out how her worst date involved “hot grape gum breath,” that her nickname growing up was Messy Kathy, and what her name would be if she were born a masculine child (or at least we think we found out).

As you can see in the video above, the whole darn Speed Date turned out down-right snort worthy.
