00:00Is there anyone, actually, from the cast that you did not get a chance to work with this season?
00:05Yeah, I didn't see Reese Witherspoon. I thought she wasn't in it.
00:08I mean, she was never there. She was talked about, but never there.
00:13But I've just met her, so I know she exists.
00:16She does, she does.
00:17She's two feet away from us, so maybe we'll get a little interaction in a minute.
00:21Congratulations on this season.
00:23It would be a great idea to write a script and write a character who is always talked about,
00:29but never there.
00:30And you could cast it, and the actor could be paid for never being there.
00:35I thought I might do that.
00:36I think maybe we can pitch it for next season of The Morning Show.
00:40Yeah.
00:40How about we do that?
00:41Yeah.
00:41Because you could probably pay them less if they're never there, you know?
00:46Can you talk to me a little bit about your character this season and how they shake things up at UBA?
00:51Well, I'm, as a character, a bit of a disaster zone for somebody who is trying to hang on to a fairly important job.
01:04I don't behave very well.
01:08I don't make it easier for her, for Jen.
01:14But I hope out of that comes something in our relationship which has become dysfunctional.
01:24And maybe we come together.
01:27We shall see.
01:28We shall see.
01:29Well, I heard that this season tackles AI a bit.
01:34Did working on this season and having these storylines around AI, did it make you rethink your own stance or opinions on media landscape?
01:43I try not to think about AI.
01:46I'm sure I use it sometimes without really realizing.
01:49But it's something that people talk about a great deal, but which I don't.
01:55I put it off my...
01:57There's enough for me to worry about without AI.
01:59It will do what it does.
02:02Like people that will have great things about it and terrible things about it.
02:06But I hope the good things outweigh the bad.
02:11We shall see.
02:12So staying hopeful a little bit.
02:14Yeah, I am.
02:15Now, I know that this season takes place in 2024.
02:19There's a little bit of a time jump.
02:20How does the show tackle politics?
02:23And will we see any part of the election in this?
02:27Well, I don't know, really, because I'm only in bits sort of that are outside that.
02:34So I'm not the person to ask.
02:37I've been estranged from my daughter who runs this company, who's a journalist, which is not a job I think much of.
02:45And I only know about her from what I read in the newspapers.
02:50So I'm not the person to ask about that.
02:53What was it like working with Jen Aniston and playing her father?
02:58It was wonderful.
02:59She's a wonderful actress.
03:00She makes it very easy.
03:02It's a lot of fun to be with.
03:04All I could ask.
