00:00How are you feeling tonight?
00:01I'm so good.
00:02I'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.
00:10Come live with me.
00:11I would love to.
00:12Do it.
00:13I would love to.
00:13Do it, finally.
00:14We've been talking about it for long enough.
00:16Yes.
00:17Let's just do this.
00:18Move 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.
00:24Good.
00:25On your subject of moves, what would you say is the single most important power move you've
00:29made in 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.
01:23But no, I think I learned just, you know, in order to do something, like make a show,
01:29like you just have to love it so much and love the subject matter and love the stories
01:32you're telling.
01:33And I'm lucky that the first thing I picked was something that was so personal and like,
01:36that I really could be like, I'll go to work for this for like hundreds of hours and
01:40like, I will blood, sweat, and tears this until it's perfect.
01:43But, oh, yeah, a lot of work.
01:45And then you have to look cute on camera.
01:48So sometimes you look in the mirror, you've been writing a script on that, you're like,
01:51oh shit, now I have to look cute.
01:53Can I say you nailed it today?
01:54Thank you so much.
01:55So did you.
01:56You look gorgeous.
01:58Wait, what I asked lastly, who is your favorite fictional media person, TV or film?
02:03Oh my god.
02:04Who's yours?
02:05This is so hard.
02:07Tell me who yours is right now.
02:08I mean, someone 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
02:19times, so probably Carrie.
02:21But who else?
02:23Anchorman route with Raphael 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.
02:36Oh 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 your 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, and I feel like that was the first time I understood like, that I would
03:02probably be on antidepressants as a kid.
03:05My relation, like how much I really enjoyed those books and 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.
03:19You go, well, so Lemony Snicket and Carrie Bradshaw.
