01:30not like anyone's doing a performance it feels like Lenny Bruce that's so tricky to

02:11love the show just gonna speak to why you feel it resonates so much this show with

02:16the people who are watching I think it has a lot to do with Alex Borstein yeah and me

02:28why does it just have my name and not your name that's true yeah why does it

02:37resonate I don't know I think because it's kind of a refreshing respite from the

02:43present day and our current situation and it's a little bit of a you know

02:47there's a little element of nostalgia to it and yet it's sort of the themes and

02:52everything are are relate to to present day it's relevant and and it's just full

02:57of full of great characters and and great writing that's that's everything I would

03:05agree I think it's um it's like a musical without singing it's it's it's it's

03:10fantasy and it's an escape and I think people want it right now Alex the story you told at

03:17the end of your speech was very moving can you share a little bit about why you chose to tell

03:23everyone about your family and share that story tonight I'm not sure I don't know just just talking

03:31about the strength of a woman and and and my grandmother was the strongest woman I knew and I

03:36get choked up every time I talk about her but yeah she's she's an amazing person an amazing story

03:42and we keep focusing on the strength of women now and how we've come a long way and it's it's bullshit

03:48they've always been there these these women have always run the roost and I come from a long line of

03:55bulldozers and I'm proud

04:00good

04:02anyone else okay oh one more Tony Alex congratulations it's Jeannie Wolfe um Alex were were you're the strong

04:17women in your family saying yeah go be an actress or were they you know honey have a something to fall

04:25back on or no absolutely my my grandmother used to say why don't you make your own show make a show

04:34why don't you make a show um they have a my mother and grandmother always said be an actress and my

04:40father said go to college and have something to fall back on and so I followed all of their advice

04:45Tony how does it feel to be surrounded by all these strong women on the show well actually it

04:53feels very I feel like I'm very much at home I grew up in a large family have six sisters I am married to

05:00a fabulous woman I have two daughters I I'm just I'm in that world all the time and and it's uh it's

05:06it's it's it's it's fed me and it's nurtured me and it's uh it's made my life fantastic are any of

05:13your daughters interested in acting well I'm happy to say no my older daughter actually did go to uh to

05:21Cal Arts and she in the acting program did really well but when she got out she had the good sense

05:27to to uh become a writer and uh she just chose a totally different path and we're incredibly proud

05:33of her can we have time for one last question

05:37yes

05:41why do you hide like why do you hide on the red carpet when lots of people wanted to talk to you and you and Brooke are kind of sneaking in

06:01sneaking in uh don't look at me we love what you have to say Alex told me to do that that's

06:12I just I just I'm I'm obedient and I I just follow orders you know I don't know I mean I just I never

06:19get the sense that people are clamoring to there's so many great high profile people you know on that

06:25carpet and so um I prefer to you know um recede rather than rather than be pushed out of the way

06:33and Alex I think that every year I learn something new about you and I think I I mean in a professional

06:39sense that you can do so much and I feel like there's something that you're working on maybe at

06:45your desk that you're going to write and do yourself is there a secret project in your life

06:49oh yeah there's always a secret project um but my the biggest project is my kids I I when I'm not

06:58working for you know we work for five to six months and then I go and just have fun with my kids and play

07:04with them and take them to school but yeah I'm always writing I'm working on a feature and we'll see

07:08what happens comedy drama horror uh it's it's kind of a porn
