00:00I love doing this event every year, and it feels very heinish, very homey.

00:04Does it feel that way to you, like a celebration?

00:08Yes, it really is like coming home.

00:09I mean, it's just, first of all, we've had the most amazing performance,

00:12so it's always something to look forward to.

00:14I'm always excited to see the comics and the musical guests,

00:18and just to be surrounded by all of these, you know,

00:22that our family are here, our friends are here, our supporters are here,

00:26and it's just a big, this whole room is like a big part.

00:30You mentioned, I heard you just saying that the girls were little when Michael was first diagnosed.

00:35They're not even born yet.

00:36Wow.

00:37Do you feel like, as awful as it is, it's made your kids much more empathetic,

00:43and has made them better people?

00:45I mean, I don't want to say better people,

00:49because I don't think that I want to characterize that,

00:51but I do think that growing up with a parent who has a health challenge,

00:59it just brings out an empathy and a protection naturally,

01:04and they've always been like that.

01:06And last, I want to talk about the Hallmark movie.

01:09I imagine as an actor to be in a Hallmark Christmas movie.

01:13It's literally the dream come true.

01:16It's so funny, because I've done so many things,

01:19and I've done things with big actors in it and big success,

01:23but there's nothing quite like doing a Hallmark movie,

01:26and then you add the Buffalo Bills to that, and it's crazy.

01:30That fan base is just, they just love, I mean, they love the Bills, obviously,

01:35and they love Hallmark, and they love the Christmas movies.

01:38It was so fun, and it was a fabulous cast of actors,

01:43and a really special actor.

01:47It's fun, and it's going to be on Saturday.

01:50How many is it being married?

01:5237.

01:53Wow.

01:54I actually wouldn't have been able to tell you that,

01:57but someone just told me right here.

02:00Can you believe that?

02:01Otherwise, I wouldn't have known.

02:03Can you believe that?

02:04No, that's what I didn't remember.

02:06.
