00:00Now, it's the start of a new year. What's one thing that's in for 2026?
00:04Fun. I think we need to have some fun in 2026.
00:09And gratitude.
00:10And gratitude.
00:12And I think also just live in your life the way that on your own and living your life on your own terms.
00:19I said that to you this morning.
00:21She did. She said, live your life on your own terms and have fun.
00:25You know, she said, make a splash, have fun. And I said, OK.
00:28And then you wore these splashy, fun outfits. I love it.
00:31I know. We've been shooting season five of Hacks.
00:33And so we haven't had a lot of time to shop or pull.
00:35So we just borrowed from friends.
00:37Yeah, my really close friend, I'm not going to name any names, but she let me borrow this dress.
00:41Fits like a glove.
00:42Yeah, it did fit really well.
00:43That was the nice thing. It's like when you have friends who are the same size, it makes life easier.
00:47I'm not saying find friends just because they're the same size.
00:50But it is helpful. It is helpful.
00:54I love that. And like you said, shooting season five of Hacks.
00:56How has it been going?
00:58It's been really great. It's been really great.
01:00We've been hard at work, but having a lot of fun.
01:02We shot yesterday.
01:03We did. We literally shot yesterday.
01:04We've been shooting weekends. It's been really wild.
01:06But it's great.
01:08How far along are you?
01:09We have about two months left of shooting.
01:12Yeah. So we're more than halfway through.
01:14Yeah.
01:15Is this the final season?
01:17Stay tuned.
01:19That's what they say to say.
01:20Stay tuned.
01:21Stay tuned, but also, I'm available in the summers anyways.
01:25That's true. We don't shoot in the summer.
01:26In winter.
01:27Or, no, winter we start.
01:29Not in winter, no.
01:30But summer, late spring to summer, I'm free.
01:32Yeah.
01:34Always good to put that out there.
01:35Yeah. Just so you know.
01:36Yeah.
01:37Also, I'm open to plus-size modeling.
01:41And since this is the Critics' Choice Awards, what's your relationship with reviews?
01:44Do you read reviews of things you work on, or do you avoid them?
01:47I don't typically read reviews, but I will say they're so important because they help
01:51people find the show.
01:52You know, like, I do think the way people write about our show has made people watch.
01:56So I think that reviews of film and television is so important.
02:02And so I actually, I really love Critics.
02:04And I'm not just saying that to kiss ass.
02:07I really do.
02:07I have read every article, review, comment, message that you've sent to me and DM'd me.
02:15I've read every single thing.
02:17Oh, I really like you're in small doses.
02:21And I don't care.
02:22And I'm going to keep, and I don't care.
02:24But I've read them.
02:25But those are mostly, like, Instagram messages.
02:27The reviews are, I've never.
02:29I read every comment.
02:30I've never read a bad review about hacks.
02:32I actually haven't.
02:33I actually haven't.
02:34Knock wood, knock wood, knock wood.
02:35And finally, since we started with what's in for, you know, 2026, what's out?
02:41Um, what's out?
02:43Stealing people's stuff.
02:46Yeah.
02:46Animal cruelty is out.
02:48Yeah.
02:50Oh, commenting on people's videos.
02:53Oh, yeah, she's ugly.
02:55I haven't gotten that, but I'm just saying it's out if you're going to do that to someone else.
02:59Yeah, unkindness is out.
03:01Yeah.
03:01And Fergie's in.
03:02Um, also, I think, um, dabbing is out.
03:07What is that?
03:08I think, like, this?
03:08Like, when you do that?
03:09Yeah.
03:09Isn't that what that is?
03:10I think that's...
03:11I think it is over.
03:12I think it's been over for a while.
03:13I don't know.
03:13Yeah.
03:13But it's...
03:14I think it's over for a while.
