00:16that your whole entire team does is so celebrated?

00:18Well, that's just it.

00:19You know, there are 200 people back in New York, hopefully at a party right now.

00:23Hi, guys.

00:24That's true.

00:25Watching.

00:26And, you know, they don't get their name on the building.

00:27They don't get their face on the camera.

00:28But we couldn't do it without them.

00:29It's really, it's a great thing to see the show recognized for that.

00:33And, Evy, I want to know how you stay abreast of the show as someone who has watched him

00:40for so many years.

00:51You should check it out.

00:52Oops.

00:54You know, we're up here live on TV talking to people, and those conversations can get

01:06awkward or you tell a joke or ask a question and it pivots in a way you didn't expect.

01:10What is the tips and tricks that you've realized over the years of like, if an interview is

01:14going this way, how do you swerve it back to where you want it to be?

01:19Swerve it right now.

01:20Yeah, swerve it.

01:21What the thing to do is that know that what you want to talk about regardless of where the conversation is going

01:52There's southern recipes

01:57Well that if you get that if you get that mustard on there that that bookmark will certainly taste funny

02:01Although we were joking earlier that the lack of food you may you may end up eating

02:13We

02:14Recently did a cover story with you and we were thrilled to do it and are the writer of that Devin Kogan

02:32Every one of us precious
