Comedy duo Randy and Jason Sklar don't have a problem standing out in a crowd — they are, after all, identical twins. But the Sklars have carved out a niche for themselves, one that goes beyond their at-times-frighteningly omni-minded delivery: turning the wide world of sports into comedy gold. The brothers first gained notoriety with Cheap Seats, the late night ESPN Classic show that found them ripping into spelling bees and bass-fishing competitions with a steady stream of awesome one-liners. Their new project, the fantastically funny web series Back On Topps, tackles another aspect of sports fandom: baseball cards. As Layland and Leif Topps, heirs to the Topps fortune, the Sklars are charged with saving their jobs after their uncle sells them out and new management takes over. Think The Office meets Will Ferrell's "Funny or Die," and you've got a good picture of Back on Topps.

"I think we have, in general, a memory for very small things," says Randy. "Like there was a time when I could literally, at any moment, do for you the entire 'jive' scene from Airplane. And that's just knowledge that no person should have in their minds. Movie lines, lyrics to songs, stuff about baseball cards, even down to facts about our friends — we remember."

"Our brains have the ability to latch on to useless absurd facts," concurs Jason, "and that works very well in the realm of sports."

The St. Louis-raised Sklars grew up worshipping their local sports teams, no matter how awfully they performed on the field. Decent athletes themselves, the twins abandoned all pretext of a career in the major leagues in their early teens, as they began to realize their comedic potential. "We went to summer camp," says Randy, "and there, our idenities were not that we were athletes, but that we were jokesters." At camp they were turned on to classic comedy albums, as well as rock and roll. "I remember the last night of camp, you'd play Simon and Garfunkel's greatest hits and then flip it over and do James Taylor's greatest hits. And everyone was feeling real sappy, and like, writing their bunk notes."

After graduating from college and moving to New York, the brothers began honing their unique, psychically-connected stand-up act. After being hired to host Cheap Seats in 2004, they brought in all their comedy friends for cameos, including David Cross, Zach Galfianakis, Eugene Mirman and Michael Ian Black. 77 episodes later, the Sklar brothers had created a body of work that rivaled Mystery Science Theater 3000, whose cast members endorsed the show.

Back on Topps allows the brothers to show off their acting chops, and includes off-the-wall cameos from a plethora of athletes, including Johnny Damon, David Wright, David Ortiz and Evan Longoria. The twins are unrepentant about their love of baseball cards. "I can hold up a Julio Franco card and say, remember when he made three hits in this game? It taps into the same brain power as the guy who's like, 'When Wilco was at South by Southwest in 2000 and played 'Shot in The Arm,' and Jeff Tweedy said this...’ It's the same thing! It's the same knowledge of really specific moments, and hero worship, and the love of somebody's ability or craft or skill."

"Comic book nerds, sports nerds, music nerds, they're all the same," says Randy. "It's just a different subject matter."
