00:00Hello, I love it. I'm here with the fan. Just don't ever say that I'm not supportive and ready

00:09and willing and able. You're her biggest and her littlest fan. Because it's not about me tonight,

00:12as you can tell. My fan carrier. Biggest and littlest fan. Amazing, by the way.

00:19How are you feeling tonight? I'm great. First of all, I think the morning show

00:23had such a great year and all of us are here because it's, they cast it so beautifully.

00:28We loved working together and it's a great show for actors, that's for sure, and writers.

00:34Really? Are you a morning person? No. No. God, no, she's not a morning person.

00:39Feel free to jump in. Yeah, well, I have a microphone in front of me too.

00:46So what was today like getting ready for the two of you? So horrible.

00:51It takes forever. Yeah, you know, this part of it is fun, but it's also...

00:57And then there's getting here. This one had to stand in her band. No wrinkles in the dress,

01:02you know. She had to stand. Stand in the sprinter. So out of sympathy, I stood in the sprinter.

01:09Well, you both deserve medals then. Thank you. You both came down here to stay.

01:13This really, I love it. Like the fact that you guys are just supporting each other in

01:18so many different ways. Are you able to watch each other's work or do you avoid?

01:24I'd rather watch her work than my work any day of the week. We watch each other's work.

01:28She just, oh sorry, she just did a play. I came, I did a play, she came. She just won the Tony.

01:35I went, you know, but now we're here. Are you able to critique each other's work or no? I think so.

01:40I think we both admire each other's skill and talent so much that we just talk about it. It's

01:47not really critiquing. We usually say what's wonderful. I can't believe you did that. I can't

01:53believe. How did you do that? You know, it's like, it's like that. I like that. I like that.

01:58And knowing as the support goes both ways, but obviously tonight a nominee here, what is that

02:02like to? I was a nominee last weekend and I lost to Michaela Cole, which is a fine person to lose

02:07to if you ask me. One of the best. So I'm here tonight as, as my lady's support. So I'm very

02:14excited. She's very darling and my fan. And I get to hold her fan. She's a highly, highly paid fan.

02:19And it's funny because you're not hot. It's just so that the hair blows.

02:33Once that pressure's off, once all that is done, you're in there, you're doing your thing with

02:37people that you love and admire. How do you, do you go straight home or do you party a little bit?

02:42Well, this is not an age for partying anymore. You know, I, you know, I'm very cautious about

02:49which seems to be ever with us. So I probably given various things, I probably will go.

02:54Is there a snack pickup on the way home though?

02:56There might, there might be a telephone order of something to come to be at the house.

03:02I am familiar with that practice.

03:05So I said, I wish to be home in 19 minutes. Call them now.

03:09You've always got to time it just right. Yeah. The LAX to home. That is always,

03:13that is always the game. Well, lastly, I just want to know if you could whisper

03:17in the ear of any of your fellow morning show nominees or anything like that

03:22tonight and tell them something, who would it be? And what would you say?

03:25I would tell, tell Nicole Bahari that she is, was a thrilling person to act with and really

03:30worked so beautifully we did together. And I would tell Billy Crudup that he is everything.

03:37And he is. And he is.

03:39Yes. Yes. And yes. Well, you have a fantastic Emmys. It's so great to see you both. Oh,

03:44thank you. Oh my goodness. Thanks.
