EAMC Host: Welcome to the Entertainment Asylum
EAAlysonH: Hi. Thanks. It's good to be here.
EAMC Host: Alyson, here is your first question from DavidKauf
Question: how did you get to be on buffy?
EAAlysonH: I auditioned about nine times and finally they gave me the job. It was just a process of elimination. The audition process was nerve racking. The suspense was killing me!
EAMC Host: Here is a question from OtisCat
Question: Alyson:
When Sarah Michelle Gellar was on Saturday Night Live, she held up a sign at the end saying she missed you. This doesn''t mean you've left the show, does it?
EAAlysonH: No, she was in New York for a week and she was going through withdrawal. It was just a joke...a funny thing to do. The whole cast is like a family.
EAMC Host: Here is a question from SKloss761 for Alyson Hannigan of "Buffy"
Question: Do you think Willow will ever break out of her sweet innocent ways?
EAAlysonH: I don't know. Maybe if she is possessed. I think that's pretty much her nature. She's standing up for herself more now.

Question: Alyson, Hi, my name is Stephanie. For my college Rhetoric class, I am writing a paper about how I feel that willow and I have some of the same traits. It would be really cool if I could have a quote from you on whether or not you are like Willow.
EAAlysonH: Okay. I'm similar to Willow. Sometimes we're really close but sometimes we're really different. We have the same sense of humour. We might be the only two laughing at the same jokes.
EAMC Host: Here is a question from MinakoP for Alyson Hannigan of "Buffy"
Question: Alyson, I think you are such an incredibly actress and on "Buffy" you make Willow have an awesome personality. Would you marry me? =D

Question: Who would you rather kiss--Oz, Xander or Angel?

EAMC Host: Here is a question from HydroxyAp for Alyson Hannigan of "Buffy"
Question: Hello Alyson -- With you and Nick appearing at the Comicon last year...I was surprised that no one from Buffy was at the Fangoria "Weekend of Horrors" in NYC a few weeks ago. Are there any plans for you or other cast members to appear at SciFi/Horror cons?
EAAlysonH: Probably. Had we heard about it or been invited, I'm sure we would have went. We've been to about three conventions and they're usually a lot of fun.

EAMC Host: Here is a question from Athena198 for Alyson Hannigan of "Buffy"
Question: What's it liketo play the smart girl opposite the vampire slaying Buffy?
EAAlysonH: I love Willow. If I could choose which character I would play, I would choose Willow. I think people can really relate to her. I love that. Buffy is who you want to be, but Willow is who most people are. It's nice being so real. And the relationship with Oz is so fun. I really prefer being real. I can relate to Willow. I don't think I could play Buffy. Sara is wonderful and I wouldn't want to compete with that. I wouldn't want to wear her outfits though.

Question: Hi Aly! is it true you and Sarah often exchange Gag gifts? what was your favorite?
EAAlysonH: Just before Christmas, she gave me this singing Christmas tree. And I'm convinced that it's Harry Connick's voice on it! It's really loud and it's scared me a few times! She put it in my trailer and it scared me to death!
EAMC Host: Here is a question from Daisy0051 for Alyson Hannigan
Question: Is Nicolas Brendon as cute in real life as he is on screen? How is he to work with?

EAMC Host: Here is a question from Higgy6517 for Alyson Hannigan
Question: I have heard about a "pantsing" incident... please elaborate.
EAAlysonH: I'm never going to live that down. During the first season, we were doing a scene in the gym. Nicki was wearing sweatpants. It was Sara's idea! I accidently took his boxers down at the same time. Sara chickened out, and I did it by myself. I felt really bad, and I'll never live it down!

EAMC Host: Here is a question from Jadeskie3
Question: I would like to know if at all possible maybe just a clue what will happen with you and Angel since he did go on the other side with Spike?

Question: Alyson: I understand you're a real admirer of Joss Whedon's work. Have you ever asked him for a chance to write a Buffy episode with him? Or some other project?
EAAlysonH: Oh no no no no no...I am so not a writer. That would just be bad. He's also extremely busy. He's way out of my league. I could never to do that. He's a genius. I can't express myself through writing!
