00:00How are you feeling tonight?
00:01I'm so good. I'm literally, I love being in New York.
00:04I just moved back, so this is heaven.
00:07See, now I'm in L.A., and I kind of want to move back.
00:09You have to come. Come live with me.
00:11I would love to.
00:12Do it. I would love to.
00:13Do it, finally. We've been talking about it for long enough.
00:16Yes, exactly.
00:17Let's just do this. Move in with me.
00:18We'd have a great life, by the way.
00:20Okay, well, I'm sold.
00:21I'm messy, but other than that, totally.
00:23I can do it with that.
00:24Okay, good.
00:25On this subject of moves, what would you say is the single most important power move you've made
00:29in your career?
00:30Oh, a power move.
00:33I think finally writing the pilot script of overcompensating, I was really scared to do
00:37that, and I think a lot of people, you just tell yourself, oh, I didn't go to a school
00:43for this, or I didn't have proper training, or all these things, like limitations you put
00:46on yourself, and I was fortunate.
00:48I was around a lot of people who were like, just do it, which I think, surround yourself
00:51with people that love you and support you and are excited for you.
00:54I feel like that, but yeah, that was maybe a power-ish move.
00:58Yeah.
00:58A huge power move.
00:59I'll take it, yeah, yeah.
01:01What surprised you most about the process of kind of like bringing something to life?
01:07Oh, I think I kind of got decision fatigue, because I was like, oh my god, you also have
01:11to think of like the names of fake beer brands and stuff, and I'm like, fuck, I'm so tired.
01:16I'm like, what if these are bad and it ruins the whole show, and I have to live with them
01:19for the rest of my life?
01:20Like, my OCD was just sick, but no, I think I learned just, you know, in order to do something,
01:28like make a show, like you just have to love it so much, and love the subject matter, and
01:31love the stories you're telling, and I'm lucky that the first thing I picked was something
01:35that was so personal, and like, that I really could be like, I'll go to work for this for
01:38like, hundreds of hours, and like, I will blood, sweat, and tears this until it's perfect,
01:43but oh, yeah, a lot of work, and then you have to look cute on camera, so sometimes you look
01:48in the mirror, you've been writing a script on that, you're like, oh shit, now I have
01:52to look cute.
01:53Can I say you nailed it today?
01:54Thank you so much, so did you, you look gorgeous.
01:58Wait, when I asked Leslie, who is your favorite fictional media person, TV or film?
02:03Oh my god, who's yours?
02:05This is so hard.
02:06Tell me who yours is right now.
02:09Someone said between Carrie Bradshaw and Andy Sachs, and I was like, yes.
02:14Okay, um, I mean, I've probably seen Sex and the City all the way through like eight times,
02:19so probably Carrie, but who else?
02:23Anchorman route with Will Ferrell, or Meg Ryan.
02:30Meg Ryan, is she a journalist?
02:31She was in, um.
02:32What is she a journalist in?
02:34In, um, oh my god.
02:39Yeah, wait.
02:40We're gonna know.
02:41We're gonna, we're gonna use all of them.
02:42Look at me, Phil.
02:43Yeah.
02:43Let's go.
02:44I always ask her something.
02:45Ask the question.
02:46These are so hard.
02:47I'm like, who's like a really, I'm picturing people on their little typewriters.
02:51Murphy Brown.
02:52Lemony Snicket.
02:54I love that little bitch.
02:56Lemony Snicket has such a little attitude.
02:58And so, yeah.
02:59And I feel like that was the first time I understood like, that I would probably be on antidepressants
03:03as a kid.
03:05My relation, like how much I really enjoyed those books.
03:08And him.
03:08So maybe him.
03:10Great answer.
03:11I bet everyone tonight said Lemony Snicket.
03:13No?
03:14Good.
03:14It's gonna be my problem now.
03:16We've got Lemony Snicket.
03:16Of course.
03:17You go, well, so Lemony Snicket and Carrie Bradshaw.
