00:00You play a bad guy. That's what I've heard.

00:03Yeah, I do. I do play a bad guy.

00:05I feel like that's against type for you. What is that like?

00:09I'm a very evil person, yeah, in real life.

00:11So it's great to finally be myself in a role.

00:16Well, congratulations on being out here tonight.

00:19I mean, how do you approach a presenter role here?

00:22Just, you know, look at the teleprompter

00:26and then read each word

00:29and then when they tell me to go, leave.

00:33That's pretty much what I'm focused on right now.

00:36It's like the bread and butter of it for the most, yeah.

00:39Any shows or movies you're kind of particularly rooting for tonight?

00:43Any favorites? Gosh, you know, I wish I would have seen more.

00:47I haven't been able to really see much of anything,

00:50but I did see Sean Baker's Enora and loved that.

00:56I was really blown away by that.

00:58That movie just kind of continues to stick with me, yeah.

01:03And I mean, Valentine's Day next week,

01:04any go-to romances or rom-coms that are kind of your favorites?

01:08Oh my gosh, Always Be My Maybe on Netflix.

01:11That's a good one.

01:15I mean, that one is, you know, I'd call it a classic at this point,

01:21but of course the classic of classics is When Harry Met Sally.

01:23I watch that every year, yeah.

01:26Yeah, will we ever get an Always Be Your Maybe 2?

01:29It seems like that. I don't know, maybe, maybe.

01:33We'll see, we'll see. And a new Shonda show coming up.

01:37Yeah, tell me about that. Yeah, it's called The Residence.

01:39It's coming out on March 20th on Netflix.

01:41It's a screwball whodunit in the White House.

01:47Yeah, starring Uzo Aduba as a detective named Cordelia Cupp,

01:52who's just the most sought-after, most amazing detective ever.

01:56And I play an FBI agent, Edwin Park, who's been assigned to work with her.

02:01Yeah. How are you feeling releasing a White House-related show in this moment?

02:08Yeah, you know, I definitely thought about that.

02:10It is an insane time to do a White House-related show, but I don't know.

02:20I feel like maybe our show will feel a little more normal than what's going on,

02:27what's going on in the actual White House right now.

02:30Although I have done a good job of really kind of tuning out of the news,

02:34just because it's also, it's just too much.
