00:13Of course.

00:14Like everyone else, I believe here.

00:15I mean, when you're thinking about it, I'm already a season ahead, but we're going to

00:21focus on what we're talking about for the Emmys, right?

00:24Yep.

00:25That family moment.

00:26That scene.

00:27That Thanksgiving.

00:29It was so tense.

00:30How did you do this?

00:31I mean, you know, we shoot very quickly, and we all just kind of really have to be in the

00:37moment.

00:38The way that our wonderful director, Chris Dorr, he shoots is just, you know, we do it

00:43and he's like, we got it.

00:44And everybody's like, wait, we did?

00:46Like on no other thing that I've worked on has things gone this quickly.

00:52And so we all kind of knew we had to like be in it.

00:56And, you know, every take, we're like, it could be our last.

01:00And yeah, when that fork flew, that was like, forget it.

01:06Like that, you could like cut that tension with a knife.

01:10With a fork.

01:11With a fork.

01:12There you go.

01:13I missed it.

01:14You set it up and you lobbed it up.

01:16Yeah, yeah, that was intentional.

01:19This show is, the core cast is fantastic, but you all have also gotten so many fantastic

01:25guest stars.

01:26Who's someone that you would love to see on the show that you haven't gotten a chance

01:30to get on there yet?

01:31Or somebody that you didn't get a chance to work with that was on it that you're like,

01:34bring them back.

01:35I want a scene.

01:36Oh, well, I would love for my dad, Chris Elliott, to be on it.

01:42I would love to see him do like a comedic disgruntled customer.

01:48I love that.

01:50Are you feeling some nice Schitt's Creek vibes for the hosts tonight in Dan and Eugene Levy?

01:55Yeah, I love them.

01:56I've known them for a very long time and I'm psyched to see them.

02:00I saw Emily Hampshire and Annie Murphy, who are also starring on Schitt's Creek.

02:05They were at the MPTF party last night, partying together.

02:08And I was just like, my Schitt's Creek loving heart was just melting.

02:11I know, I know.

02:12And they're all close.

02:13They're all friends.

02:14And it's so nice to see.

02:16Yeah.

02:17When it comes to the bear and just the reaction, the global reaction of this show, when did

02:23you first get tipped off to how much it was resonating?

02:27And how did that affect you?

02:28I think it was the memes.

02:30I think it was the car me in the kitchen and, you know, that me when I make instant ramen,

02:36like that kind of thing.

02:37Like that was like, oh yeah, wait, this is like in the zeitgeist.

02:41I was making those.

02:42I was making those.

02:43Oh, good.

02:44Good.

02:46Yeah, that, I mean, that really kind of just like did it.

02:48And it's, it's so thrilling that like the show, you know, has this audience that it

02:53does.

02:54And, you know, it's, it's unlike anything I've been a part of.

02:58I want to know what the group chat reaction was to the Calvin Klein, Jeremy Allen White ads.

03:03You know, I don't think there was one.

03:05I think we were all just like, I mean, quietly surprised like everybody.

03:12And yeah.

03:14And then I didn't realize that there was going to be another one coming out.

03:17So I opened Instagram and it was like there and it was like, oh wow, another one.

03:22But you're like, that's like my brother.

03:26Exactly.

03:27Literally.

03:28Yeah.

03:29He's like my brother.

03:30And yeah, I know he was, he was with his, his real life sister last night.

03:34And, and I met her and it was like, it honestly was like, wow, we kind of look alike.

03:39Oh, good casting.

03:41Speaking of sister, where do you get your sister vibe for the show?

03:44Like where do you pull that from?

03:46I'm a bigger sister.

03:48And so that, and honestly my, I have a daughter and a, and a young son and watching like my

03:57daughter with my boy.

03:59Like, it's just like, like she's so protective, but it's also, she's so annoyed with them.

04:03Annoyed.

04:04And it's just those very simple, you know, the simple emotions that you have with your

04:09sibling that is, is like it, like you take that with you throughout your life.

04:15Protective and annoyed.

04:16That is perfect.

04:17I'm the baby.

04:18So I'll, I'm sure all my siblings are signing off on that.

04:21There you go.

04:22Do they have a, does your daughter at least have a sense of what you do and, and like

04:28how many people actually know who you are, not as mommy?

04:32She, I mean, she, she really likes watching me get dressed up for these things.

04:37I think she thinks that that's what I do is just like wear a beautiful gown.

04:41Yeah.

04:42Which is not really.

04:44I have a four year old with the same thing.

04:46She was in the bathroom today, like with her finger thinking she was doing.
