00:00Does it feel bittersweet that this is the last major award show where Marvelous Mrs. Mays will be nominated?
00:05It absolutely does. It actually mostly just feels sweet.
00:08You know, we've had a lot of time now to mourn the loss, and now it's like visiting a beautiful gravestone with flowers.
00:15It's putting this baby to bed, and we're so proud and so happy, and, you know, everyone's moved on and doing other exciting things.
00:23But, you know, it's always family.
00:24It's very similar to when people go to college, but making a show or making a film, that's the best way I can compare it.
00:32Those people, it's this tight, it's an experience you'll never have again, and they're with you for life, hopefully.
00:38Since we're here at the SAG Awards, what role got you your SAG card?
00:42Well, the first thing I ever did was a show called Mad TV, which is a sketch comedy show, and it was AFTRA.
00:49This is when it was two separate unions, so I had AFTRA, and then you were able to parlay that into the Screen Actors Guild.
00:58I think the next gig I did after that was Family Guy, and family, or concurrently, Family Guy was a SAG show, so that, I think, cemented my SAG membership.
01:10And then Gilmore Girls, and then Pilots that I wrote and did after that, so it was a constant build.
01:15It's building blocks to all those actors out there. Every step is important.
01:19Speaking of your former roles, how often do people out in the wild approach you about the Lizzie McGuire movie?
01:25Lizzie McGuire is a huge one.
01:28When I'm in an airport, I see people walking towards me, and I'll know in 30 seconds what show they're going to say.
01:35And the Lizzie girls, predominantly girls, I can always tell them a mile away.
01:40And it's sheer joy. It's so fun to have a part of someone's childhood like that.
01:45Family Guy fans, I know.
01:47Maisel was interesting, because Maisel, it's such a huge demographic.
01:52It's across the board, so really, that's been an interesting thing.
01:56But yeah, Lizzie McGuire is very sacred to a lot of people.
02:01Sacred to me, and that's why I had to ask.
02:03I would know you coming.
02:04You'd see me, and you'd be like, Lizzie McGuire.
02:06Lizzie, they're going to come up to me and say, a brown nosing, brown noser with a hidden agenda.
02:12A sneaky brown noser with a hidden agenda, exactly.
02:14There it is.
02:15Now, last time I talked to you at the Emmys, we were talking about the possibility of,
02:20would we ever see, you know, a Maisel spinoff with your character?
02:23Are there any updates on that? Any thoughts?
02:25There are no updates on that.
02:26There's things, Amy always says stranger things have happened.
02:29So, you know, she's off making a new show right now.
02:34She's shooting in France and doing things, and we're all, like, working on things.
02:38But there's absolutely always room in my heart and on my dance card for a Palladino.
02:44A Sherman Palladino show gets pushed to the front always.
02:47Can we see you maybe appear in her new show at all, a little guest star spot,
02:51just because you have this long history of working with her?
02:53Um, I don't know.
02:55I don't know if that would happen.
02:56It's very specific, and I don't fit that specificity.
03:00So, maybe not.
03:02And I think it's good to get, to see other people for a while,
03:05and then you come back, and the reunion is so blissful, and the sex is so good.
03:09I don't mean actual sex with Amy.
03:11I'm just comparing it.
03:12You understand.
03:12You understand.
