00:00After four seasons, what still challenges you the most about this role?

00:05About the role, I think, you know, the morning show is incredible in that we keep turning things around.

00:11Like, the writers don't quit. Like, they're relentless.

00:14I mean, season three, Mia was speaking Russian.

00:18Season four, Mia's playing pool.

00:19Like, there's no end to the research, to the lessons, to the things that I do on this show.

00:25So, I think one of the challenges is always bringing your A-game.

00:30But that helps because we've got great new actors coming into the story all the time.

00:34They make you want to do more. They make you want to be better.

00:38And working with people like Mimi Leder and Charlotte Stout, just, you know, you want to do your best.

00:44Well, I know this season takes place in 2024.

00:47Of course, a big political year.

00:49How much does the show tackle the politics?

00:51And are we going to see any part of the election?

00:55You know, we tackle the politics of work life, business, corporate life, C-suites, how people live every day.

01:06And I think that that is part of what makes our show so timeless.

01:11That we're not, again, chasing headlines.

01:14You know, we're not ripping it from the headline.

01:15We are actually tapping into deeper stories that are important to our audience.

01:20But also stories that are based in our characters.

01:24You know, and Alex and Bradley and Mia and, you know, Corey.

01:28These are all people who have a lot of art, you know, and our story is grounded in characters.

01:34And as a plot twist, you get to know more about them.

01:36And I think that's what makes it special.
