I don't know, to be honest with you. I've been doing drama for the last couple years.
00:09
I'm not quite sure, but it was really nice to get back into a comedic suit,
00:15
which I don't feel like I've necessarily been doing recently. So that was great. It was great.
00:22
Listen, Cordelia doesn't suffer fools. Cordelia Cupp, that's my character. She does not suffer fools.
00:28
She is very to the point, direct. She finds nothing funny about where the circumstance she finds herself
00:38
for being here in the White House. And she's very straight to the point with most people,
00:48
but in a sort of funny way.
00:51
There is no place like this place. It is bigger than you.
00:57
Damien, the house is literally bigger than me because that seems obvious.
01:02
This could be someone from the staff. It could be a guest. It could be anybody.
01:06
This is a disaster.
01:07
Are you suggesting that they had something to do with it?
01:10
Is he a suspect?
01:11
No.
01:12
Is he not a suspect because he's not a suspect, or is he not a suspect because you don't believe in suspects?
01:16
Yes.
01:17
Oh my goodness. That production design, Francois, our designer, did an incredible job. He is amazing.
01:25
It did. Really, honestly, we would be in there, and it was breathtaking.
01:29
We were on, I think, 11 stages, 13 stages, something like that.
01:34
And it was so elaborate, so well-detailed, so gorgeous.
01:41
You felt like you were in the White House.
01:43
At the beginning, the first couple of days walking on, you kind of didn't want to sit down
01:49
because it felt like you were being disrespectful in the White House, and then you're like,
01:53
oh wait, this isn't real. But it was amazing.
01:56
The White House actually wound up feeling like another character on the show, which was amazing.
02:01
But it was amazing. It was great.
02:03
We need to train carefully here.
02:06
This is the White House.
02:07
Did anything unusual happen?
02:09
Other than my boss dying?
02:10
Other than that, yes.
02:11
It's been great. I'm just entering the toddler year, so she just started walking.
02:16
She just started talking, and that's been amazing.
02:20
It feels like a doll coming to life.
02:24
I'm not joking.
02:26
I see where the inspiration for Shaki came.
02:31
No, it's amazing. It's amazing.
02:33
It's the best thing that's ever happened to me.
02:35
I love her so much. She's such a light in my life.
02:38
And my greatest gift that I feel that I could give her is showing her how to be a full and complete woman in the world
02:47
and do everything that she wants to, aspires to be, and to find that and make her happy.
