Taran Killam is singing Amanda Bynes‘ praises.

During a recent episode of Dana Carvey and David Spade’s Fly on the Wall podcast, the topic of Amanda Bynes’ OnlyFans account was brought up by Spade, which eventually led to a discussion about Taran Killam’s experience working with her on The Amanda Show in the early 2000s, according to Entertainment Weekly.

“It was my very first job. I got cast on her show literally the week after high school ended,” Killam shared. “We worked closely for about three weeks.”

Killam, who has been seen in Netflix’s The Residence lately, reminisced about heading off to college and mentioned that at the time, he “didn’t have an agent anymore” and was “committed to focusing on school.”

“They called me back to do more, they helped me get an agent,” he continued. “Being on The Amanda Show kind of, like, started my grown-up acting career.”

Killam also mentioned working on the 2002 comedy Big Fat Liar with his friend Bynes, which also starred Frankie Muniz and Paul Giamatti.

“She was the best,” he added. “It was a very important relationship to me in my life.”

Highlighting Bynes’ notable work at such a young age, leading to movies like 2006’s She’s the Man, Spade said he “always thought she was so great,” while Killam lauded Bynes as “one of the most talented people [he’s] ever met.”

Spade shared, “I think she’s one of those people that everyone pulls for, like Britney [Spears]. It’s a very tough world out here in showbiz, whatever level. And they were at a high level.”

Killam agreed, “At that age, too. Like, to be a full Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett dynamic… She’s truly one of the best.”

Bynes, who shared on April 15 that she created her OnlyFans account with a $50 monthly subscription cost “to chat with [her] fans through dm’s” and “won’t be posting any sleazy content,” per E! News, worked with many stars at the start of their careers, including Channing Tatum in She’s the Man.

“I totally fought for Channing [to get cast in] that movie because he wasn’t famous yet,” she told Paper in 2018. “He’d just done a Mountain Dew commercial and I was like, ‘This guy’s a star– every girl will love him!’ But [the producers] were like, ‘He’s so much older than all of you!’ And I was like, ‘It doesn’t matter! Trust me!’”

As noted by EW, Bynes was under a nearly nine-year-long conservatorship that ended in 2022. In 2023, Bynes launched a podcast, though quickly ended the project not long after.
