00:00How was it to be on the other side of the camera and direct something?

00:03It was really, really lovely.

00:06Yeah, I don't know how many words I have to describe it, but I'm really grateful for the opportunity.

00:11I loved working with my fellow cast members from that vantage point

00:17because it really just gave me so much more appreciation for how good they are.

00:23They are so good, and I got to experience that from a third eye view.

00:28Lionel was banned on set.

00:30Lionel was banned from set on my episode, sadly.

00:33Would that be known between both?

00:42Did you take inspiration from anyone that you had worked with before?

00:46I think the energy kind of goes from top down,

00:50and so I think I don't know what my style is,

00:53but I tried my best to just be in a good mood

00:57and trying to talk decently to people

01:00because that, I think, can do a lot for how the workday flows.

01:06And what is it like for you guys walking around Chicago now?

01:12I don't know if anybody's like the Beatles.

01:15I think we're like us,

01:16just that people sometimes see us in a restaurant,

01:18and they're like,

01:18oh, you're from the show about a restaurant,

01:21and you're in a restaurant,

01:21and you're like, yeah,

01:23and that's pretty much it.
