00:00 I remember at the 2022 Emmys, you all had just finished filming the final season.
00:05 Here we are now at the delayed 2023 Emmys, but how does it feel reuniting with the cast
00:09 and celebrating the final season?
00:11 It all kind of feels like a fever dream.
00:13 It really does.
00:14 Like, I can't believe it was only five, six years ago when we did the pilot, and I can't
00:20 believe we are at the end.
00:22 I can't believe that was a year ago that we finished shooting the finale.
00:26 It's been over a year.
00:29 Yeah, it just feels kind of like a crazy fever dream.
00:32 And I know a year from now, it'll be even more so.
00:35 I'll be like, "Was I really on that show?"
00:38 I have saved watching it.
00:40 I've only seen the first two episodes of Maisel and the last, and I'm going to start watching
00:44 it with my daughter right after the SAG Awards next month.
00:48 As soon as it's all done, I'm going to start watching it.
00:51 I love that.
00:52 That's going to be so amazing to see it through her eyes.
00:54 It is.
00:55 I'm a little bit nervous now, and I'm far enough away from it to not judge myself harshly.
01:00 Now that some time has passed, is there anything you miss about playing Susie that you're surprised
01:04 that you miss?
01:06 I can't say I'm surprised, but I miss the ability to not edit and just say what you
01:12 want to say and say what you think and not worry about consequence.
01:15 Because it was a time before social media, a time before you could be held to what you
01:20 said forever and ever and ever.
01:23 As I was watching the final season, I was nervous that Midge and Susie were not going
01:27 to reconcile, and I was so happy with how the show ended.
01:30 How did you feel about the ending and what we saw in that final episode?
01:33 Honestly, when we first saw the scripts, I was terrified.
01:36 I was not sure this was a good idea.
01:39 Like the time jumping and age makeup and how do I do that?
01:43 Who is Susie in 20 years?
01:46 That's a lot to think about.
01:48 And then you watch, the finale is what I saw, and you're doing those scenes.
01:52 And it was right.
01:53 Oh my God, it's Amy Sherman-Paladino.
01:57 Next question actually is great to have Amy here.
02:00 I just wanted to steal your moment and tell you, look at this.
02:04 I'm sorry, have we panned down?
02:07 I feel like we should dump our significant others and run away together.
02:10 I think so.
02:11 I think it's time.
02:12 I was just talking about how I was scared to death when I saw those first scripts of
02:15 the last season because I didn't understand how you could have seen and known it was going
02:20 to work, and it did.
02:22 Well, you don't know.
02:25 And then you think, well, it's Alex, so how bad could it be?
02:31 That takes a lot of chutzpah and balls to say we're going to do this jump around in
02:36 time.
02:37 That was insane.
02:38 I know, but it's the last season.
02:39 You got to do a little, you got to up the game.
02:41 But I think it was very satisfying.
02:43 I think the fans.
02:44 It was the major multiverse.
02:45 Yes.
02:46 Yeah.
02:47 It was everything, everywhere, marvelous at once.
02:48 There you go.
02:49 Not bad.
02:50 Not bad.
02:51 So, in the multiverse, is there a world where we could ever get more of any of these characters
02:55 in some way in a spin-off, in another series?
02:57 I did not put her up to that question.
02:59 There's a $20 bill sticking out of her back pocket.
03:05 There's always a chance for everything in the world.
03:08 We could drop dead in five minutes or who knows.
03:12 If she does not ever foresee a future for Suzy, I will be in Times Square dressed as
03:16 her.
03:17 Constantly?
03:18 Every New Year's Eve.
03:19 Next to the naked cowboy.
03:20 Yes.
03:21 It would be amazing.
03:22 Could you imagine?
03:23 Just in the outfit, you and the naked cowboy.
03:24 With the hat and the suit.
03:25 (laughing)
