Married couple Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys are both nominated for Emmys this year, Russell for 'The Diplomat' and Rhys for 'Widow's Bay.' The pair take time out of a busy award season to test how well they know facts about each other such as the names of Rhys' horses, how many episodes of 'The Americans' they shot, and how old Russell was when she joined The Mickey Mouse Club.

00:00We hardly ever see each other if we don't like to.
00:02It's interesting.
00:03We just come together for this shit.
00:04Yeah.
00:05I did pee publicly in the park.
00:06Okay, okay. God, dammit.
00:14I better take a sip of beer.
00:16Okay.
00:17Where did you both first meet?
00:21We both know this one.
00:23He's like, I have no idea.
00:28Are you ready?
00:30No, hang on.
00:36You're giving the details?
00:38Three, two, one.
00:42What'd you say?
00:43Oh, Jennifer Grey's kickball party.
00:45In...
00:45Rustic Canyon.
00:46I would like to point out both answers are correct.
00:49Yes, that's what I meant.
00:50Yours and my...
00:52I'm just a showbiz whore, so I wanted to get her name in.
00:56I mean, to be perfectly honest, we've said it so many times.
00:59I just hope people go, oh, for fuck's sake.
01:01They're like barfing in their mouths right now.
01:02Oh, God.
01:03Just change the story.
01:04Let's make up a new story.
01:05I bought an eight ball of cocaine from her in a parking lot.
01:08What is Matthew's favorite Welsh slang word?
01:12Oh, okay.
01:13Oh, how do I spell it though?
01:16I don't know how to spell it, but I can say it.
01:19Go on then.
01:20You say it on...
01:21We'll go three, two, one, you say.
01:22Three, two, one.
01:23Pied.
01:24What did you say?
01:25Pied.
01:26Oh my gosh, was it?
01:27Yes.
01:27I spelled it right?
01:29Yes.
01:30Well done.
01:31Come on.
01:32It means stop.
01:33Or don't.
01:34Don't.
01:35He's constantly saying it to Sam.
01:36Pied.
01:37Pied.
01:38I think our son thought his name was Pied for like the first eight years of his life.
01:43Pied.
01:44Pied.
01:46Pied.
01:46Pied.
01:47What do you miss most about Wales?
01:49Me or her?
01:50You.
01:50Oh.
01:51Oh, everything.
01:52The pub culture, the people, the humor, fish and chips, the landscape, coastline.
01:58Rain all the time.
01:59Yeah, I do miss the rain.
02:01I know.
02:01Oh.
02:02On a scale of one to ten, how good is Carrie's Welsh accent?
02:06Oh.
02:06Oh.
02:07Accent.
02:08Accent.
02:09Um.
02:21Yeah.
02:22Yeah, see that's the Cardiff accent.
02:23Accent.
02:24See, a lot of people think, people from Cardiff sound very similar to Bostonians, because
02:29we say, pack the can.
02:31The long A.
02:32Maz Bar, Barack Obama, Maserati.
02:35Barack Obama.
02:35Aston Martin.
02:36She does a very good Cardiff accent.
02:38I don't.
02:39You do?
02:39I don't.
02:40Hey.
02:40Hey.
02:41Hey.
02:41How's your hair?
02:42Tony Blair, do you hair?
02:44It is.
02:44Which is a hard accent.
02:45It is.
02:46It's really hard.
02:46And there's so many different dialects, like, you know, Matthew grew up in Cardiff,
02:50which is a very different accent from his cousins from the north, like near Cenedonia.
02:56Wildly different accents, kind of like our country.
02:58Yeah.
02:59You have a great American accent.
03:00Well, thanks very much.
03:01Mm-hmm.
03:02How many episodes of The Americans did you shoot?
03:04Hang on.
03:05I've got to do the math.
03:07Oh, fuck.
03:08Shh.
03:08You shushed.
03:09Oh, God.
03:10How many seasons did we do?
03:15Don't do it yet.
03:17I've got to do this.
03:17Wait.
03:18I'm not even sure I'm right, to be honest.
03:21Wait.
03:21How does this work?
03:22How does this work?
03:23How does TV work?
03:25Uh.
03:26Which one was The Americans again?
03:27This is a guess.
03:28A total guess.
03:30Okay.
03:30Oh, no.
03:31Three.
03:32Was it 12 or 13?
03:34Shit.
03:35Was it 12?
03:35Three.
03:36Two.
03:37Oh.
03:38One.
03:39Turn.
03:41What was it?
03:42The correct answer is 75.
03:44You guessed the same as me?
03:46Yeah, six times 13.
03:47Oh.
03:48What other projects would you like to work on together?
03:51Heart to Heart.
03:52A remake of Heart to Heart.
03:54When they met, it was murder.
03:56Oh, what was the other one?
03:57Oh, Moonlighting.
03:58Moonlighting.
03:59We'll pitch Moonlighting as well.
04:00Although she wants to be Bruce Willis, which is weird.
04:06How old was Carrie when she joined the Mickey Mouse Club?
04:0922.
04:11Wouldn't that be amazing?
04:12Yeah.
04:16I don't think you know this.
04:18I'm going to give it a while.
04:19Okay.
04:20Yes.
04:21Three, two, one, go.
04:22Shit.
04:23What'd you say?
04:25Oh.
04:26Just auditioned with a bunch of friends.
04:28With a lot of very talented kids.
04:30And I was not one of those talented kids.
04:31Oh, stop.
04:32No, they could like, you know, one of the kids who auditioned is that amazing Broadway girl.
04:37Ryan Gosling.
04:39Yeah.
04:41No, Sutton Foster.
04:42Like, she was one of the girls.
04:44Oh, was it? No.
04:44Like, they were like wildly talented kids.
04:47Go on. Do the roll call. Or I will.
04:49What, of the famous ones?
04:51Yeah.
04:51Yeah.
04:51Go on.
04:52The famous ones?
04:53Like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake, Ryan Gosling.
04:58Anyway, they were all really talented.
05:00What's Matthew's favorite genre of film or TV?
05:04Oh.
05:13Are you ready?
05:14Yeah.
05:14Don't. You're going to just copy my answer.
05:16No, I'm not.
05:16Okay.
05:17Three, two, one, go.
05:19Oh, that's good.
05:21That's true.
05:25I heard the other day her hair belongs in the Smithsonian.
05:28I wash things like alone.
05:29I also watch it alone because no one else will watch it with me.
05:32I come and I go, hey, what do you even watch?
05:34You're like, I'm like more tough guy stuff.
05:36I'm like, yeah.
05:37Just like guys who don't like wear makeup for a living.
05:41You know what I mean?
05:42Who know how to kind of, you know, process an animal.
05:44Like building fences and like, you know.
05:47Well, no.
05:47Shelters.
05:49They don't need a fence.
05:50They're not raising livestock.
05:52Just tough guy stuff all around.
05:54Tough guy stuff.
05:54Hunting, fishing.
05:56Yeah.
05:56Cutting down.
05:57Everything I can't do.
05:59You can do actually all that stuff.
06:01I can do all that stuff.
06:01It's stupid.
06:02I like to talk about it.
06:05I played a hunter once.
06:07It's stupid.
06:08Did you wear makeup?
06:09Yep.
06:10How do you pick what project to work on?
06:12Cash.
06:13Cash basis.
06:14Like what pays most wins.
06:16Very simple.
06:17Three children and a mortgage.
06:18I'll get after it.
06:20I have no shame.
06:21I'll haul myself with the best of them.
06:23No, in fairness, Windows Pay was a script I'd never seen.
06:26It's so good.
06:27The like of.
06:27I was desperate to do that.
06:29And knowing Hiro Mariah was going to direct, I was like, oh my God.
06:33And the cash.
06:33Matthew, almost everything he does, he's always like, oh.
06:37He thinks he's not great.
06:38He thinks he's always like, oh.
06:40I think that's every accent.
06:41And this was the only thing he's ever come home.
06:45And I was like, oh, he likes this.
06:47But that means like he goes, yeah, it was fine.
06:50It was fine.
06:50And I'm like, oh, you liked it.
06:52I could tell he thought it was fun and good.
06:54Well, I had fun making it.
06:56I genuinely had no idea how it would, A, turn up, or B, how it would be received.
07:01It was a big swing.
07:02It was a swing.
07:03What's Carrie's favorite genre of film or TV?
07:07Oh.
07:08Oh.
07:09Oh.
07:10Oh.
07:20Tough one.
07:26Tough one.
07:28Three, two, one.
07:31Oh, that's true, actually, yeah.
07:34I don't know if you're like that.
07:38You two kind of go, look at this.
07:40I'm like, where'd you find this?
07:42You're like, look at the trailer for this.
07:43I'm like, where did you find this?
07:45But, inevitably, her taste is always impeccable.
07:49Um, you're always like seeking out those kind of road less traveled films.
07:55Classic.
07:55Apart from that one.
07:56That's probably the film you've watched the most, though.
07:58I love it.
07:59It just makes, it's my happy place.
08:01That's true.
08:01I didn't think of that.
08:02It's great.
08:02It's so fun.
08:03The music's so fun.
08:05The comedy's good.
08:06I love that it's a straight up romantic comedy, but the end is actually good.
08:11I don't know.
08:12I like it.
08:13It does it for me.
08:13In which season of The Diplomat will Carrie's character become president?
08:18Oh, God.
08:19Ooh.
08:25I feel, in many ways, you play it as if you were the president.
08:29That's the way I play it, yeah.
08:30Yeah.
08:30I'm bossy to everybody.
08:31That is true.
08:33Three, two, one.
08:36Ooh!
08:39What'd you say?
08:45Oh, my God, that's hilarious.
08:48Yeah, I do play it like I'm the president.
08:50Not really, though.
08:52Just cut to that.
08:53Get a close-up of that as if I got it right.
08:55What?
08:57Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun.
08:59Rufus Sewell dies.
09:04Don't.
09:05How did Felicity address her pen pal when she would send tapes from college?
09:10Dear pen pal.
09:11He's never seen it, so...
09:12Yeah, I have. I loved it.
09:13I'll win.
09:14I loved it.
09:15Yes, I'll win.
09:16But I guess I've never seen brothers and sisters, so...
09:19Nope.
09:22Okay.
09:23Three, two, one.
09:24Which is sort of a connection for brothers and sisters.
09:27Did I get it right?
09:28Oh.
09:31I just think pen pals are always called Penelope, aren't they?
09:34Or should be.
09:36I think it's kind of a fictional idea, to be honest, pen pals.
09:38Like, I have this pen pal in Auckland.
09:41I'm like, do you?
09:42Yes, Willa has a pen pal in China.
09:46She's called Timu.
09:47What are the names of the horses Matthew adopted?
09:50Oh, God.
09:51He doesn't have them anymore, but...
09:58Three, two, one.
10:01Oh, there you go.
10:02Did I do it right?
10:03Yes, you did.
10:03We are just in sync.
10:05Yes.
10:06One died, and then one went to live with a friend.
10:10In Malibu.
10:11Oh, that's right.
10:12Okay.
10:12Having the time of his life.
10:13Yeah, that's true.
10:14Well, they were wild Mustangs.
10:16I brought them out of the prison system.
10:17And there's about five prisons in the US that has a Mustang program.
10:21And then I was having trouble with one of them.
10:23And so my friend who's a cowboy said, I use this horse psychic on my horses.
10:28And as I said, he was a rodeo cowboy.
10:29So I thought, he must be legit.
10:31And she's in Britain.
10:33You do it kind of through Zoom.
10:34And first of all, she's like, oh, you talk to them in a different language.
10:38And I was like, yeah, I talk to them in Welsh.
10:40And then they're like, yeah, they don't understand you.
10:42And then she said, you wear a white cowboy hat.
10:44Oh, it was the cap.
10:45That's right.
10:46It was a hat.
10:46And the guys who did the roundup, who had been very, quite brutal with the horses,
10:51it reminded them.
10:52So I changed my cowboy hat.
10:54And they started listening.
10:55Yeah.
10:55And speaking to them in English.
10:56I do want to say that this kind of teenage horse that gave him trouble,
11:01gave me no trouble when I rode him.
11:03Anyway, I changed my whole outfit.
11:05I used to ride them in sweatpants after that.
11:07No, you didn't.
11:08No, of course I didn't.
11:08Okay.
11:09Who has been nominated for more Emmys?
11:12Me!
11:14Let's answer.
11:15I'm kidding.
11:15Hang on, hang on.
11:17I have no idea.
11:17Let's do the tally.
11:18Oh.
11:19Try, try as you might.
11:21I have no idea.
11:24Um, okay.
11:25Okay.
11:27Huh.
11:30I have no idea.
11:31I'm just going to guess.
11:32Oh, oh.
11:33But then there's this year.
11:34Shoot.
11:39I'm ready when you are.
11:40Okay.
11:41Three, two, one, go.
11:43What'd you say?
11:44Six.
11:47Me.
11:48Me.
11:48What, am I right?
11:50Wait, hang on.
11:50Let's go through yours.
11:52Nine.
11:52No, I said you had nine.
11:54Three.
11:55No.
11:55I don't have nine.
11:56What do you have her?
11:57Carrie has eight.
11:58Eight.
11:58So one, two, three for, oh, did you, oh, for Felicity.
12:01No.
12:03No.
12:03I didn't get nominated for Felicity.
12:05A Globe for Felicity.
12:06Yeah.
12:07One, two, three.
12:08Three for Americans.
12:10Three for Americans.
12:12Two for-
12:13Thank you, Tony Kranz.
12:13Two or three for Diplomat.
12:16Three for the Diplomat.
12:17So that's six.
12:18Well, the other two.
12:19Maybe it's because the show is nominated.
12:22Oh.
12:22Why are you trying to, like, hold me back from my nominations?
12:27Because I'm male.
12:30What was it like when you found out you were both nominated this year?
12:33That was such a good day.
12:35Oh, yes.
12:36Yeah, it was actually.
12:38I had planned this date day.
12:40Yes, you did.
12:41Because we hardly ever see each other.
12:42We don't like to.
12:43Keeps it interesting.
12:44We'd been separate for a long, and-
12:47Separated.
12:48We-
12:48For a long time.
12:49We just come together for this shit.
12:51Yeah.
12:51We hadn't been in the same city in a while.
12:53And so I planned, like, a little, a fun date in the city.
12:56Yeah, you did.
12:56It was a great day.
12:56We did, like, lots of little things.
12:58Yeah.
12:58And it just so happened that it fell on the nomination day.
13:02Nomination day.
13:03Which I totally forgot.
13:05We did a few art things.
13:06And then we ended at this really cool bar that I couldn't get into on my own.
13:11So I asked someone to help me get into.
13:13We showed up at 5.30 right when they opened.
13:15Like good Floridians.
13:17That was a great day.
13:18And we really both said, wow, this is crazy.
13:20We might never be nominated again.
13:22Very true, very true.
13:22And what a fun thing to-
13:25Now we don't have to hate each other.
13:27For now.
13:27For now.
13:28I did pee publicly in the park.
13:30Okay, okay.
13:31God, damn it.
13:33We'll see you next time.
13:35Bye.
13:36Bye.
13:38Bye.
13:40Bye.
13:41Bye.
13:42Bye.
13:43Bye.
