00:00John, I got a kick out of your scenes with Vanessa Bayer and her just like popping in to censor
00:06talks whenever possible.
00:07Can you talk about your experience working alongside her?
00:10There was hardly any character for her on the page.
00:13And she's such a genius.
00:15She kind of cultivated one on the fly, which is the biggest compliment I can pay anybody because on television,
00:20there's no time for anything.
00:21And for her to come in and be that nimble and turn on the writers so much that they've now
00:28integrated her full force into the ensemble is the stuff of fantasies that just doesn't happen.
00:36There's no time.
00:37You have all these principals who are already established, the five new young actors.
00:41And then Vanessa comes in and just crushes.
00:44So I think she made the writers' lives a lot easier.
00:47It's the stuff that Scrubs does.
00:48They bring in recurring characters.
00:51We get to know them really well.
00:53They're part of the family.
00:54They call them comedy assassins where they bring in, they write for them, and then they see what they can
00:59do with it and say, try something else.
01:02So it's an invitation.
01:03Our days are really long on the show, but it's an invitation for people to try their own thing.
01:07And it's constantly moving because the commitment is the relationships and the funny, which they do better than anybody I've
01:15ever worked with.
01:18I think that's a good thing.
