00:03Beautiful.
00:04We'll just stand around here.
00:07We'll take questions as they come through.
00:22Okay.
00:23We'll start here.
00:28Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to ask if you have a special memory of filming this show?
00:38Part of the joy of doing a show when you get older is you don't remember anything.
00:43Anybody else?
00:44Al, do you have a special memory of doing this show?
00:47Oh, no.
00:48I've got to think.
00:49I don't know.
00:50Oh, good.
00:51Go ahead.
00:52Michael?
00:53No, mine is just when I got the script after that.
01:00This was just a wonderful, wonderful ride and great characters and great writing.
01:06And I got to meet Alan Arkin.
01:08Alan Arkin.
01:09I should add that the very first scene we did of the first episode was these two gentlemen
01:15having lunch at Musso and Frank's.
01:17And I was foolish enough to direct that episode.
01:21And that was a moment I'll never forget.
01:24Looking at these two guys and wondering if I may be fighting out of my weight class.
01:34For me, it was seeing Michael's office for the first time.
01:40It was so specific that it blew me away.
01:44It brought me back to all the acting studios I'd ever been to.
01:47It was incredibly vivid.
01:50I think if I had one moment, I think that was it.
01:54It's a set design.
01:56Yeah.
01:57Chuck?
01:58I'm sorry, but that was it.
02:00Yes?
02:01Chuck, recap for me.
02:03When was the last time you won a best comedy award from a major actor?
02:23I'm sorry.
02:24Time's up.
02:26Let's see.
02:27I have a Golden Globe for Roseanne, 91.
02:32and Sybil in 95.
02:36So, you know, recently.
02:39It kind of goes with that.
02:44Have you come to a point in your career where you're like,
02:46well, maybe I don't win awards anymore?
02:48Like I can't show from last year.
02:50Maybe I don't win awards anymore.
02:52Was this that much of a surprise to you?
02:55Did you hear what I said out there?
02:59I'm absolutely stunned and amazed and delighted and grateful that our work was acknowledged and held up as being worthy.
03:13Worthy is extraordinary.
03:16I just, I'm shaking.
03:18I'm just overwhelmed.
03:19Alan?
03:20Yeah.
03:21And Michael?
03:22Alan, I just, Jeanne Wolf.
03:24I just finished reading your book and you talk a lot about acting.
03:27And Michael, I've heard you talk about acting.
03:29And so you're not only making fun of guys getting older.
03:33You're making fun.
03:34We're not making fun of guys getting older.
03:35All right.
03:36Sorry.
03:37All right.
03:38I'm not anyway.
03:39I don't think Michael is.
03:40I'm not.
03:41Getting us interested, but also in this whole business about whether you can teach acting or whether you can learn acting or are you tired of it.
03:51How do you feel about the commentary on acting?
03:56You mean in the, in the, in the, that's Michael's the acting teacher.
04:01He should really answer that.
04:03Thanks, Alan.
04:07I thought one of the things that Chuck did so beautifully in the piece is he did not want to make fun about acting teachers.
04:18And the fact is that there's a whole bunch of young actors out here in LA that are living in their cars in order to pay for their acting classes and acting lessons.
04:29And that was one of the things I thought that was very special about it.
04:34Uh, I was a little jealous that my oldest friend in the world, Alan Arkin, gets applause in my acting class, which I've been trying to get for 20 years, but I never got it.
04:45I've been having a hard time for a.
04:46Okay, thank you, thank you, thank you.
04:47Alright, thank you guys.
