00:00Government Cheese is a truly unique show, but at some points that surrealist tone, it kind of reminded me of Fargo,

00:06which I thought you should have won an Emmy for that, but that's neither here or there. We can talk about that later.

00:11Did working on Government Cheese feel familiar to you, or was it a new challenge at all?

00:16To me, it was completely new, because I don't get a chance to be funny very often.

00:21And the challenge was to play this character who, on the page, is pretty off the wall.

00:30He's pretty out there, if you will.

00:34And how do I bring reality to such a surrealistic character?

00:41How do I be honest about this man in every moment?

00:47So that felt like a new challenge.

00:51Let's make it simple round.

00:55There are no challenges that I am experiencing that I miss.

00:58Though IOSS , I promise, it will be impossible to take a year as a reassess.

01:13It is very happy with you today.

01:16Take care.

01:19Don't understand.
