00:00You go from Mad Men in the drama to now Survivor's Remorse with comedy and
00:07congratulations on getting season three. Yay, thank you. And what was it like making that
00:11transition from a pop cult classic, if you will, drama, predominantly white cast, to now Survivor's
00:17Remorse. It's on stars. It's an ethnic cast, if you will. And there's a lot of comedic powerhouses
00:22in there. Tashita Arnold, Erica Ashe. What was that transition like? Jarring, very jarring. I mean,
00:28I'm sure you guys know Tashina, and she is, I love her so much. She's such an open, she's a giver.
00:35She will give you all the knowledge she has, and she's just such a great model, just as a young
00:43woman in this business. But going from Mad Men, which is just a very quiet set, a very
00:48metered set, to the crazy, raw, what you see on TV is even more raw behind the scenes with those
00:58with my cast. So it was very jarring, but in a good way. You just felt free, felt fun,
01:06happy. It's just a different space. And in Survivor's Remorse, your character Missy,
01:10you're known for your beautiful locks, I should say that first. And, you know, preparing for this
01:15interview, I saw a lot about your hair. But in the show, she recently just did the big
01:19chomp. She did. Was that something that you worked with the producers to do?
01:22Yes. I pitched, I actually mentioned it first season, but everything moved so fast that that
01:29wasn't able to happen. So myself and a female writer, Tracy Oliver, another young black woman
01:35doing her thing from South Carolina. Hey, Tracy. We both cornered our showrunner, Mike O'Malley,
01:40and said, you have to do this story. You have to do this story. And great. Luckily enough,
01:45him and the network, they were all behind it. And they said, sure.
