The 'Madam Secretary' star immediately introduced herself to DeRosa on the first day and shook her hand, a move DeRosa called it memorable because it's not something most people do.
00:00I'm Sarah DeRosa and I'm Taya Lele. I remember our first meeting. Do you remember? I do because I have to say that you came right up to me and shook my hand, which not a lot of people do. So, no, that was awesome because I was like, okay, she's cool. Like, this is going to be good.
00:20You know, if you just sort of change the hair and the 25-year age difference, we're, like, totally, like, exactly the same looking people.
00:37We make it work.
00:38Well, first of all, Sarah helps me learn my lines, which is great for everybody on the side.
00:45Right, that helps things move along.
00:47Yeah, and that saves, let me think, money.
00:50Because we ride in together and run the lines, and at the end of the day, we ride home and we run the next day's work.
00:58Or if it's Friday, we just hang out and laugh and talk about, you know, dating things.
01:05Sure.
01:07Sarah was sick one time in five years, and it was, I mean, to say disaster is a little strong, but it doesn't work.
01:18We have our rhythm.
01:18We just know.
01:20We're like an old married couple at this point, and it was really hard to have another lover step in.
01:26It was really difficult.
01:27Well, thank you.
01:28I mean, I didn't want to be out, but it is nice to hear that.
01:31It's not rare that we are playing someplace like, I don't know, Cuba, and we're in Long Island, and it's January, and it's, you know, zero degrees.
01:47And then I come in, and Sarah gives me the look like, this sucks.
01:53Yeah.
01:53And she knows the humor to it is that they're going to take my coat, not hers.
02:01Right.
02:02Yeah.
02:02I know.
02:03I get to bundle up at least.
02:04So Sarah gets to be like.
02:05They're like, can you take your hat off for a sec?
02:07But like, otherwise, yeah.
02:08I spend more time with Sarah than I do with most family members.
02:19I mean, the relationship is such that I'm actually excited that when we're no longer doing this together, we are definitely starting a company together.
02:29Anything that I would do, Sarah would be damn near one of my first phone calls.
