00:01Steve Carell and Rashida Jones starred in The Office together, but now they're reuniting for a new show, Angie Tribeca, and it is premiering here at South by Southwest.
00:10You know what? It's a lot of work putting a show in the air.
00:13Yeah. One of the wonderful things about The Office was that NBC really didn't interfere.
00:17They really allowed the writers and producers and directors to go down the road that they wanted to go, but we're finding the same thing with TVS.
00:25Nothing can prepare you for life in the LAPD.
00:30It's a very difficult type of comedy to execute, so I guess I was really happy that it was done so well.
00:40It's a spoof of a procedural, and it's slapstick, and it's broad, and you just don't get to see that that often.
00:47You're wrong. It's a picture of a sheep with the words, that's what sheep said.
00:51My character's name is Jay Giles. He's a really serious detective who has a goofy side, and he's in love with his partner, Angie Tribeca.
00:58And Giles was, he wanted to be a ventriloquist growing up, so it's all just like taking things very seriously and having the circumstances be absurd.
01:06Well, we don't want to give too much away, but let's just say one of the cops is a dog.
01:12He's not in a canine unit. He's an actual cop, and he's not treated like a dog.
01:17So that's sort of an indication as to the absurdity of it.
