00:00How are you?

00:01Good morning.

00:02Hi, good morning.

00:03How are you?

00:04Good, good.

00:05I'm happy to be here.

00:06This is a great event and I'm excited as always.

00:09Yeah, excited as always.

00:10It's a really powerful event.

00:12We're so happy you're here.

00:14We can only imagine that it's going to be powerful speeches from the stage again, especially

00:21in this year.

00:22What's been the most powerful thing for you to come out of the sexual harassment conversation

00:26over these past few months?

00:27Well, I think that any conversation about it is good conversation and that it's front

00:34and center in the zeitgeist.

00:35I think that it's kind of like other movements.

00:38It feels like it's a grassroots movement and it's a civil rights movement in a way.

00:44So I'm just, I'm happy that people are being heard, that women are being heard.

00:50And yeah, and I think it's a constantly evolving process.

00:54And, you know, I gotta say 2017 was a powerful year.

00:59It was a sad year.

01:00It was a great year.

01:01But also for Kate Walsh, it was a really cool year.

01:05You played, you know, you started one of the breakout phenomenons on Netflix with 13 Reasons Why,

01:11playing a very emotional, complicated, but a beautiful mother.

01:17And then also, too, you played like a rowdy publicist.

01:20So, you know, obviously you're...

01:21I know.

01:22I just got an email that Girls Trip got nominated for Best Comedy for Critics' Choice.

01:26Congratulations.

01:27And Tiffany, of course.

01:29That was really a beautiful thing to experience and witness.

01:32But yeah, I'm so thrilled.

01:33Well, then tell us about where you stand for the sequels to both of those shows,

01:38or for the show and the movie.

01:40What's going on for you?

01:42Well, we're finishing up season two of 13 Reasons Why now.

01:45And then, I don't know.

01:47I think they're planning on doing a sequel.

01:49I don't know if they'll bring Liz DiBelli back.

01:51I hope so.

01:52It would be really fun.

01:53But I am just thrilled.

01:56That, the success of that, first of all, the process for me was amazing.

02:00Working with Malcolm Lee and the women were also...

02:03Regina and Tiffany.

02:04Everybody was so beautiful.

02:06And the set was really fun.

02:08But also to go back and forth between Olivia Baker,

02:11which is like the heaviest thing I think I've probably ever played on 13 Reasons Why,

02:15and then Liz DiBelli on Girls Trip.

02:18That dichotomy was really kind of fun and challenging and awesome to do.

02:22But I'm just...

02:24To see that movie kill and just blow up the box office,

02:28it's such...

02:29For me, that's like the real joy.

02:31For me, that's...

02:32I feel like it's just the biggest thing ever, you know?

02:36It's such a great thing for women in film.

02:38And just to say, yeah, they can open.

02:40We can open a huge R-rated comedy.

02:42And it just keeps growing, the box office.

02:45So it makes me really, really happy.

02:47Well, congratulations on that.

02:49And then also, you know, a really powerful moment for you personally.

02:51You came forward and shared your medical journey.

02:56Oh, yeah.

02:57I know.

02:58That's right.

02:59Duh.

03:00Then there's that.

03:01Then there's that.

03:02Yeah, the brain tumor.

03:03How are you doing now?

03:04And what...

03:05I'm great.

03:06Thank you for asking.

03:07Yeah, it was...

03:08That was a pretty epic moment in my life.

03:09And there's definitely before...

03:10Like, I think anybody who has had any kind of big health scare,

03:13there's sort of before whatever it is, you know?

03:16Tumor, cancer, whatever, and after.

03:18So your whole life changes.

03:20Your perspective changes.

03:21Yeah.

03:22All of it.

03:23Well, you mentioned gratitude.

03:24We're so grateful you stopped and talked to us today.

03:26Thank you, I know.

03:27But hey, you know what?

03:28No, this was so great.

03:29And the only tragedy is I wish we could just sit down with you for breakfast.

03:32You have so much to talk about.

03:33Oh, you're so nice.

03:34And so hopefully we can do that at some point.

03:35You're very kind.

03:36Yeah.

03:37Enjoy our show.

03:39Take care.

03:40I'll see you soon.

03:41Bye.

03:42Bye.

03:43Bye.
