00:00I remember at the 2022 Emmys, you all had just finished filming the final season.
00:05Here we are now at the delayed 2023 Emmys, but how does it feel reuniting with the cast and celebrating the final season?
00:11It all kind of feels like a fever dream. It really does.
00:14Like, I can't believe it was only five, six years ago when we did the pilot, and I can't believe we are at the end.
00:22I can't believe that was a year ago that we finished shooting the finale.
00:26It's been over a year, but yeah, it just feels kind of like a crazy fever dream, and I know a year from now, it'll be even more so.
00:35I'll be like, was I really on that show? I have saved watching it.
00:40I've only seen the first two episodes of Maisel and the last, and I'm going to start watching it with my daughter right after the SAG Awards next month.
00:48As soon as it's all done, I'm going to start watching it.
00:51I love that. That's going to be so amazing to see it through her eyes.
00:53It is. She's old enough now, and I'm far enough away from it to not judge myself harshly.
00:59Now that some time has passed, is there anything you miss about playing Susie that you're surprised that you miss?
01:05I can't say I'm surprised, but I miss the ability to not edit and just say what you want to say and say what you think and not worry about consequence.
01:15Because it was, you know, a time before social media, a time before you could be held to what you said forever and ever and ever.
01:22As I was watching the final season, I was nervous that Midge and Susie were not going to reconcile, and I was so happy with how the show ended.
01:30How did you feel about the ending and what we saw in that final episode?
01:32Honestly, when we first saw the scripts, I was terrified. I was not sure this was a good idea.
01:39Like the time jumping and age makeup, and how do I do that? And who is Susie in 20 years?
01:45And that's a lot to think about. And then you watch, you know, the finale is what I saw, and you're doing those scenes, and it was right.
01:53Oh my God, it's Amy Sherman Palladino. My next question, actually, is great to have Amy here.
02:00I just wanted to, like, steal your moment and tell you, like, look at this.
02:03Stand with me.
02:04I'm sorry, have we panned down? Because it's a...
02:07I feel like we should dump our significant others and run away together.
02:10I think so. I think it's time.
02:12I was just talking about how I was scared to death when I saw those first scripts of the last season,
02:16because I didn't understand how you could have seen and known it was going to work, and it did.
02:23Well, you don't know, and then you think, well, it's Alex, so how bad could it be?
02:30That takes a lot of chutzpah and balls to say, we're going to do this jump around in time. That was insane.
02:37I know, but it's the last season. You've got to do a little, you've got to up the game.
02:41But I think it was very satisfying.
02:43It's the major multiverse.
02:45Yes.
02:45It was everything, everywhere, marvelous at once.
02:48There you go. Not bad.
02:50Speaking of the multiverse, is there a world where we could ever get more of any of these characters in some way
02:56in a spin-off in another series?
02:57I did not put her up to that question.
03:00There's a $20 bill sticking out of her back pocket.
03:04There's always a chance for everything in the world.
03:07We could drop dead in five minutes, or who knows?
03:11But if she does not ever foresee a future for Susie,
03:14I will be in Times Square dressed as her.
03:17Constantly?
03:17Every New Year's Eve.
03:19Next to the Naked Cowboy.
03:19Yes.
03:19Yes.
03:20Yes.
03:20That would be amazing.
03:22Could you imagine?
03:23Just in the outfit, you and the Naked Cowboy.
03:25The hat and the suit.
