00:00Hi, I'm Carrie Preston from Ellsbeth, and today I will be popping these balloons.
00:05And the color of the confetti will determine which bowl I pull a question from.
00:09Okay, so let's go.
00:12That is blue.
00:13If you could have any guest star on the show that we haven't seen yet, who would it be?
00:18Meryl Streep, where are you?
00:21Blue, again.
00:22I'm having a boy.
00:24What's Ellsbeth's favorite piece in her closet?
00:27Ellsbeth's favorite piece in her closet.
00:30Is whatever she pulled out that minute.
00:34And my favorite piece from her closet is probably this coat that I wore that looks like a big pack
00:41of Smarties.
00:43All boys, all the time.
00:45How has working on Ellsbeth changed you or your life?
00:48I never dreamt that I would have an opportunity like this, where I would play the title character on a
00:55network TV show, especially CBS, which I've been watching my entire life.
00:59I am eternally grateful.
01:02No, we're not going to get a silver.
01:03I promise we will.
01:04Next time, I just know it.
01:06Do you have a favorite moment from this season?
01:08I loved it when Tracy Ullman came back on our show playing a completely different character than what she played
01:16last season.
01:18It's blue.
01:19I think they didn't shuffle the balloon deck.
01:22What's a mystery you'd want Ellsbeth to dive into next?
01:26I think that we should set something in a library.
01:29I think that would be cool.
01:30Should we try one more?
01:36Y'all, what are you most looking forward to next season?
01:39Just another amazing season with the best crew and cast in all of television.
01:44I will challenge anybody to challenge me on that.
01:50Okay, what's your favorite NYC attraction?
01:54The High Line.
01:55I love to walk on the High Line.
01:57It's my favorite park.
01:59They do call it a park.
02:00Every time you go there, you see something new, some piece of wonderful art or new landscaping that they've been
02:07working on.
02:07And I think it's the best.
02:10Woo!
02:11Woo!
