The band, who star in a self-titled HBO comedy show, also told thelondonpaper that it was "very embarrassing" to have fans obsessed with McKenzie's "five second" appearance as an elf in Lord Of The Rings.
Clement said: "When we first came to LA we literally didn't have enough cash to pay for a hotel for the whole time. So we had this fan, it was kind of complex, basically we ended up at her house."
McKenzie continued: "Yeah, she said, 'Well, what should we do?' and I said, 'I don't know' and she said, 'Do you guys want to watch a movie?' I’m like, 'Okay' and then the only DVD she owns is Lord Of The Rings."
He added that the superfan character Mel in their show was based on a mix of half a dozen real-life fans of the duo.
