00:00Can I borrow the key to the cupboard of ideas or is it like dad's liquor cabinet?
00:03It's actually, we put the lock higher that you can reach.
00:05Higher than I can reach, but your ass can reach it?
00:07That's right.
00:09This is some strange physics.
00:11That's right.
00:12I've been getting in there and taking a little from in that cupboard.
00:16Jerry can get in there.
00:17But then I refill it with water so that Mike doesn't know.
00:25These are the voyages of the crew of the Starship Cerritos.
00:29We're all such a good team.
00:30We finish each other's diophantine equations.
00:33Hi, welcome to the Variety Studio.
00:35I'm here with the cast and creator of Star Trek Lower Decks.
00:38Welcome.
00:39You are heading into your fifth and final season.
00:44We were trying not to tell.
00:46Yeah, we didn't want to tell Noelle.
00:47Spoiler alert, man.
00:48I like it.
00:49No, it's over baby.
00:50Noelle, you and I, we'll keep doing it.
00:52It's not over.
00:53It's never over.
00:54Well, Noelle aside, who's just learned this information,
00:57how are the rest of you feeling about it being the final season and going into it?
01:02It's weird because it's sad, but we're really proud.
01:04Yeah.
01:05The season's amazing.
01:06And I don't know.
01:08It's a rare thing to get to do something this long that you love this much.
01:11Yeah.
01:12Is this what it feels like when a kid goes to college?
01:13I don't have children.
01:14Where you're like, oh, it's over.
01:16But we did it.
01:17We did a good job.
01:18I have to tell you, five seasons in this day and age, it's pretty good.
01:24Pretty good.
01:24I mean, that's got to be top something percent.
01:28I feel just vengeful, enraged.
01:31Oh, do you?
01:33Yeah.
01:34Yeah.
01:34There's a fury.
01:37You know what's funny?
01:38I'm not as sad as I thought I was going to be.
01:40Thanks, Jerry.
01:41Well, I do really believe that we will stay very tight and very much in touch.
01:48You know, a lot of times a job ends and you think, wow, I'll never see those people again.
01:53But I don't think that's the case here.
01:54What was a job like that?
01:56It's not Sound Variety.
01:58Come on.
02:00That does get to me.
02:01My next question is, because this is an animated show, I'm wondering how much interaction you
02:05do get to have while you're making it versus when you're just recording the voices.
02:09We have more than most animated shows.
02:11I shouldn't say most, but more than a lot because of the trek of it all.
02:14Like, we see each other at conventions.
02:16We see each other at like, you know, there will be some like anniversary of the first
02:19astronaut to ever slice a bagel or something.
02:22So they bring Star Trek people to it.
02:24So there's all these like points of connection that aren't necessarily tied to actually
02:29recording the show, which I think makes us better friends because we work together very
02:34little.
02:34So we don't get mad at each other that much.
02:36We also do pal up every once in a while.
02:38And like when everybody's in town from filming, we gather.
02:41Jerry, you've been at those.
02:42Don't act like we don't know my birthday.
02:45We had Jerry's birthday.
02:47No one ever comes to my birthday, though.
02:49It's hard.
02:50It's like Christmas.
02:51It's a Christmas birthday, but yeah.
02:53Your birthday is an event.
02:57I love that you've held this till now, though.
02:58I'm very excited.
02:59Oh, no, it's just been how many years?
03:01By the way, I am so comfortable with this cast.
03:03I, through my own birthday, I invited everyone and then wrote a poem for myself and read
03:09it to everyone.
03:10That's how comfortable I am with this cast.
03:12No, you know what's funny about being a part of Lower Decks and Comic-Con?
03:19I met Tawny here at Comic-Con exactly five years ago when we announced the show to a
03:25lot of...
03:26Thunderous applause.
03:26It wasn't thunderous applause.
03:28It was Rob announcing it.
03:29Confused haulage.
03:32I remember someone whispering to me in a threatening manner, you better not mess this up.
03:40But we do...
03:41It is funny when you're a part of Star Trek, these cons is where you really see each other
03:47a lot.
03:47In person, it's bonding.
03:50I want to go back to the birthday poem.
03:51Do you remember the birthday poem and what it was?
03:54It was about our whole cast.
03:56I don't...
03:57I wasn't off book.
03:58I was reading it.
03:59He had a printed out set of papers, plural, that he read from.
04:04He has a printer in his house.
04:05Yeah.
04:07I love Lower Decks.
04:08We're a family and I wanted to celebrate my birthday with my cast.
04:13He shushed the whole restaurant and read the poem he wrote about himself and it was
04:17very funny.
04:20So it does seem like it might have been maybe a little inevitable that the show was going
04:25to at least have to conclude because these characters would at some point not be Lower
04:29Decks anymore.
04:30They would move up in some way.
04:34Is that a trajectory that I think we might see in season five?
04:38You do get to see everybody grow up a little bit in season five.
04:40And it's funny that to me, there isn't a natural end to being Lower Decks because I feel like
04:47I'm still learning stuff all the time.
04:49I still feel like every time you think that you've left this place that you were, you're
04:53finding out you didn't know anything again.
04:56And every time you go through one of those big changes, it starts all over again.
05:00And the whole ship on Lower Decks is Lower Decks in a way.
05:05And that's kind of the fun of it.
05:06So yes, the characters do go through a change this season.
05:09But ultimately where we end, you don't feel like they aren't still Lower Decks and that
05:14we couldn't keep telling those kinds of stories.
05:17The show is so filled with all of these great, I wouldn't even call them Easter eggs.
05:22They're just like gifts to Star Trek fans and references.
05:26And I think the best version of that is when you incorporated Cedar Jaxa into the end of
05:33last season.
05:35What is that process like of finding, as you're putting together the story, finding the threads
05:42of Trek lore that you want to bring into it?
05:44We're really careful on Lower Decks about what we're going to use from Trek lore and
05:48what we're going to add to it.
05:49It's kind of like going to Yosemite.
05:51You want to enjoy it while you're there, but you don't want to change it.
05:53You don't want everybody to be able to enjoy it as much as you did.
05:56So you have a pack-in, what you pack-in, pack-out world.
06:00We're cleaning up all our trash from the Trekiverse.
06:03Leave no trace.
06:04Take only pictures, leave only footprints.
06:06So it's sort of a combo of stuff, right?
06:08Sometimes I'll talk to Tanya and we're just geeking out about what we love and it inspires
06:12ideas for the show.
06:13And other times there's stuff I want to do, like the Cedar Jackson storyline, where I'm
06:17like, I don't know if we can do that.
06:19That might be stepping on something that somebody loved growing up.
06:22And then we got far enough where I was like, I feel like we've earned the ability to tell
06:26those kind of character stories.
06:27And then sometimes the artists put in stuff and it makes us laugh.
06:30And it's because they love Star Trek as much as we do.
06:32And it's unexpected.
06:33And we're like, no, no, no, move that forward.
06:35Get more of that in there.
06:37It's really everybody working together on that.
06:38So what's an example of that, of one of the artists sneaking in something that you didn't
06:43expect to be there?
06:44There's this bowl.
06:45There's a bowl on the show.
06:47It's a fruit bowl that they put the engine nacelles from the Enterprise on because they
06:52thought that was funny.
06:53And I fought it forever.
06:54And if you can spot it in scenes, it's like they have a bowl that looks like the Enterprise.
06:58They also put in a cheese board that they sell on StarTrek.com.
07:02I was like, why would you do that?
07:04But they were like, it's like if Star Trek used a prop that they had in storage that
07:08was like a round, you know?
07:10So little things like that and little background details that when you're gifted that stuff,
07:14you don't turn it down, you know?
07:16For the actors, what are some of your favorite references that have made it into the show?
07:21Don't look at me.
07:26I'm obsessed with Mark Twain, with twin Twains.
07:28I think that is such a funny use of admittedly a very weird thing from our beloved Trek
07:34canon.
07:35Like that shit was weird, right?
07:36It was weird in the 90s.
07:38It's weird now.
07:38And then Mike was like, sometimes with comedy, it's like when something's already so heightened,
07:42it's a little like, how do you top it?
07:44But I feel like you guys turned it up.
07:46Yeah, way up.
07:47Like why?
07:48Why is this alien in a Mark Twain wig?
07:51And I love the self-awareness of every character being like, why does this work?
07:55Yeah.
07:56And it works because it worked on TNG.
07:57You know what I mean?
07:58Like it just feels sometimes it's this barometer of just feeling like it belongs.
08:02And you're not even sure why, but it's funny.
08:05I admittedly do not have the knowledge that Mike and Tony have of the next generation.
08:13And I frequently have to be reminded as to why this is funny.
08:17And then I'll go back and I'll look.
08:18I mean, for example, I hope this isn't a spoiler.
08:21Am I allowed to say the thing about my workout outfit?
08:24Say what you want.
08:24You have a mic on.
08:25They're going to hear that.
08:27My character works out in an outfit that was very much famous in a workout outfit
08:35that was very much famous in the next generation.
08:37And I didn't know that was such an inside joke.
08:41But after doing it and being explained it and looking it up, it's like, it's really funny.
08:47Yeah, we dressed Jerry's character up in like the Jazzercise outfits.
08:50They put female characters in in the 90s on Star Trek and didn't explain it.
08:54And you know what?
08:54The character looks great in it.
08:56Spawned a lot of Slash Vic, too.
08:58It got filthy.
08:59I'm a little disappointed in the Slash Vic writers.
09:01We're giving you G.U.L.T.
09:02And you're not giving it back to us.
09:04I need more of it.
09:05I know you can write faster.
09:06Why did you do that?
09:06I want it.
09:07We're going to get such filth and smut.
09:09I don't.
09:10Good.
09:11Give it to us.
09:13Noelle, putting you on the spot.
09:15Hi, what's up?
09:16No, I just, your Star Trek references.
09:19Oh, you know, I'm blanking.
09:21I mean, like specific references.
09:23I'm new to the Star Trek universe.
09:25So I feel like in through the show, I'm catching up with Star Trek.
09:29And I frequently see the jokes.
09:32And then just like Jerry, then I see what it's a reference to.
09:36And I just I'm I don't know, I like kind of coming at it at a first level
09:41because then I'm having more of an innocent read of it,
09:45not really knowing what the reference is.
09:47And yeah.
09:49Which I love because like the references aren't really the point, right?
09:52Right, right.
09:52References of the world.
09:54So like you get to be an Orion on the show.
09:56You don't need to know the difference between Orions and TOS, TAS and Enterprise.
10:01Right.
10:02It doesn't matter.
10:02You just get to be a character.
10:04And you're like a new viewer that we have coming in.
10:06It's true.
10:08It's also really funny.
10:09For example, I believe last season we visit Deep Space Nine.
10:12A couple of seasons ago.
10:13Yeah, yeah.
10:14A couple of seasons ago.
10:15And it was so funny to watch Mike and the writers say like,
10:19OK, you're pulling up what's something you could say?
10:21And Mike just brought it out saying, man, like for my character,
10:24man, that is one ugly space station.
10:26Yeah.
10:26And it's just so funny.
10:32You're always looking for something to mine when you're looking for jokes and stuff.
10:36And we have thousands of hours of television to mine.
10:41Yeah.
10:41And the world of Star Trek is real for the characters that inhabit this show.
10:44And so they're telling jokes in a way that they're as familiar with these locations
10:48from other series as much as Tonya and I are because we've watched them.
10:52They've lived them.
10:53And it's almost like we both used to work at Second City.
10:56Not together, weirdly, but at different times.
10:58Weirdly not together.
10:59But when they would make like a local Chicago joke,
11:03and it would get a great response from the crowd,
11:05that's like when we're making a Deep Space Nine joke for our characters on the show.
11:09And there's just no other franchise you can do this with because nothing else has 800,
11:13maybe Marvel a little bit, kind of.
11:15But it's a really cool world to get to tell jokes in and write characters for.
11:21So what kinds of references and threads could fans expect for season five?
11:30So in season five...
11:32Okay, there's a legacy character.
11:33All I will say is that I get to carry around part of them in a way that's very satisfying.
11:40There's a piece of a legacy character.
11:42And Noelle's character, Tendi, gets to spend a lot of time with them.
11:49There's a running theme across the season of these space potholes
11:55that the USS Cerritos is closing, that are these kind of rifts in space.
11:59Where when you watch the season, you'll see that a lot of the stories
12:03start off by things that come falling out of these rifts in space.
12:06And it was because we knew we'd been given enough of a heads up
12:09that this could potentially be our final season.
12:12I suddenly kind of opened up the cupboard of ideas and was like,
12:15all right, what are some mechanics to get all sorts of crazy things to happen this season?
12:20And whether that's stories we wanted to tell,
12:22jokes we wanted to do, or really cool legacy characters,
12:25you'll see that throughout the season.
12:26Now, Mike, can I borrow the key to the cupboard of ideas?
12:28Or is it like dad's liquor cabinet?
12:30It's actually, we put the lock higher than you can reach.
12:32Higher than I can reach?
12:33You're asking me to reach it?
12:34That's right.
12:35This is some strange physics.
12:38That's right.
12:39I've been getting in there and taking a little from in that cupboard.
12:42Jerry can get in there.
12:43But then I refill it with water so that Mike doesn't know.
12:46Oh, that's a classic trick.
12:48The cupboard of ideas is a mysterious Narnia type cupboard that is hard to access.
12:52And I'll share it with you later.
12:54You've finally earned access.
12:55I don't need it.
12:56I have my own.
12:56I just let the ideas come to me.
12:58I don't go reaching up for them.
13:00I just hold very still and I door dash mine.
13:02Well, I like the cupboard.
13:05Okay.
13:05Um, so I'm gonna, um, I'm gonna put you all on the spot again.
13:11And I want you to tell me your absolute number one favorite episode of Star Trek.
13:15That's not from Lower Decks.
13:17Oh, that's hard.
13:18That's hard.
13:19You could split this room in half on why that's hard.
13:27Do you want me to give you guys one?
13:28Yeah, give me one.
13:29Like an honest one or one that will get you in trouble on the internet?
13:31No, I don't want to be called out.
13:34Also, I can't even pick a favorite of y'all.
13:37You know what I mean?
13:38Like favorites.
13:38That's a hard, that makes me combust.
13:41Do you know what I mean?
13:42I understand.
13:43Yeah.
13:43Do you want one that seems like your personality or do you want to be more organic?
13:46We'll give you a bespoke one.
13:48Bespoke one.
13:49I want it to just casually skip over me.
13:52Okay.
13:53I don't think they'll let you.
13:53This is variety.
13:54Okay.
13:54This is variety.
13:56They made the variety.
13:56I have a favorite episode.
13:57I will kick this off.
13:59Um, we decided not to.
14:00Is this live?
14:02No.
14:04You would have stopped us a long time ago.
14:07I don't know.
14:08Sometimes people just like let you walk into it.
14:10Somebody would have said, this is live.
14:12Write it yourself and do it live.
14:14Um, I would say my wife, um, my wife, uh, my wife is on, uh, strange, strange new worlds.
14:22She is?
14:23Yes.
14:24Um, I mean, we're still married legally.
14:27Uh, got into an argument this morning, but I think we'll work it out.
14:31Sorry.
14:32Are we, are we filming?
14:34Uh, she did an episode.
14:37My wife did an episode of strange new worlds where, um, her character is a Larian and she's
14:43brought up on charges for that.
14:44And it was a real old school courtroom, Starfleet courtroom.
14:50And, uh, um, we were working on it a lot.
14:54I was running lines with her and, um, I just, man, there's something about a good old courtroom.
15:00Yeah.
15:01Star Trek episode.
15:02And my wife is now a part of that.
15:03So for me, that was really fun.
15:05That's cool.
15:05Great.
15:06That's a really good one.
15:07Um, okay, I'll go.
15:08Uh, I feel like anytime I'm asked this question, I say a different one.
15:11Cause I can't have one favorite.
15:13I have too many.
15:14So today.
15:15Which this one will though be forever.
15:17Yeah.
15:18The actual one.
15:19This becomes my personal Canon.
15:20Yeah.
15:21What my favorite is forever.
15:22Okay.
15:22I hope I remember it.
15:24This is like a password manager.
15:25Like I remember none of mine.
15:27What was your favorite band in 98?
15:29I'm like, I don't know.
15:29Eve six.
15:30Oh God.
15:33Why is that?
15:34The first thing I like that.
15:35Um, I would say right now in this moment, my, I could say a favorite episode would be,
15:40um, uh, the episode of deep space nine where wharf and Jed Zia get married.
15:44It's called you're cordially invited.
15:46It's so heartwarming, but it's also so many hijinks and nonsense with the like guys on
15:52their little Klingon bachelor party, Jed Zia getting the sexist end of the stick by having
15:57to do all the research.
15:58And then there's a lovely twist.
16:00It's just lovely.
16:01Dax episode is awesome.
16:02Any Dax episode.
16:03I will take, I love it.
16:05Facets.
16:05I really love, I love facets.
16:07This is why making lower decks is so fun with these two, because I apologize.
16:13I mean, my deepest apologies.
16:14I have no idea what they are.
16:18No clue.
16:19No clue.
16:20Had a vague idea what deep space nine looked like.
16:22I knew it was kind of again, apologies, kind of an ugly, weird looking space station, but
16:28I only know one episode of sliders and it touched me.
16:33I've seen, I've watched, I grew up watching Star Trek.
16:36I don't have the level of specificity of remembering anything ever.
16:41No, I get that.
16:41Cause it's almost like, it's like, so that's just not how my mind works.
16:46And so I feel really, uh, I feel like I'm going to, then I say something and then somebody's
16:52going to start talking to me through it.
16:53And I'm going to be like, I actually don't remember.
16:56We get challenged a lot.
16:57Like fans really want to challenge us and say, Oh, you like a thing?
17:02Prove it.
17:02You don't get that a lot of the time.
17:04If you're like, I like a thing.
17:05Somebody will go, Oh yeah, me too.
17:06They don't go prove that.
17:07You know what I mean?
17:08So like, I get that.
17:09It's kind of like being, when I was in film school, it was also like that.
17:12Like prove you belong here.
17:13Yeah.
17:13And I'd be like, I love, like, I love French new wave and I genuinely do.
17:17And then they'd be like, yeah.
17:18So then you start listing a filmography and I'm like, Oh, my brain just fritzes out.
17:22It's like a holistic love with other things.
17:25It's not like, Oh, I kind of like tacos named six.
17:28What kind of flour?
17:32You know, what was really fun was watching the turn on lower decks when we announced
17:38and before our show came out, um, Star Trek fans, this is online.
17:44Um, we're, um, not happy and borderline threatening.
17:49And, um, I think those were the threatening unhappy fans that were
17:53threatening unhappy before they announced us to them.
17:55Like the internet echo chamber.
17:56Cause you know.
17:58If anything, we provided them a nice little outlet.
17:59But then I like what he's saying.
18:01Cause there was a flip.
18:02But it ended.
18:02You see people flipping.
18:05It ended.
18:05Trust me.
18:06I look for negative comments all the time.
18:07I love it.
18:08It's like my life.
18:09It's my life work.
18:10I look for negative comments about me and lower decks.
18:13And I got to tell you, I don't find anymore.
18:16And I search everywhere.
18:17You used to feast, but now you're starving.
18:21It is true.
18:21It is really nice when you, uh, stick with your vision for something
18:25and then people catch up to it.
18:28And I, I remember witnessing that as well.
18:31Like, right.
18:32And, and I liked that you kept up the, you, you didn't let it affect you
18:37or like you didn't let it, you're like, no, we know, we, we know what this is.
18:41And we know you're going to love this.
18:42And then people came on board and it was, it's been,
18:45it's been really exciting to, to see that.
18:48Especially because the internet's kind of new in terms of like
18:51the immediate reactions and how that can sort of impact your, uh,
18:56your own confidence in something that, you know, is going to be great.
18:59Like, even if you know it, like getting people on board can,
19:01especially with something that has such a long history.
19:04You are getting people's id in the moment when they're watching it.
19:07There's not like a week to percolate or you know what I mean?
19:09Like it's, it's not like they've had time to think about it or hear other people.
19:12They just instantly respond.
19:14Um, my favorite episode is the original Lower Decks episode.
19:19Wow.
19:20I thank you for bringing it back.
19:22I was not sure if that was going to happen.
19:24I could tell you were starting to be like, they know there was a question.
19:27Uh, I love the original TNG, uh, Lower Decks episode.
19:30I love, I love all the B stories in TNG and that's the most B story of the episodes.
19:35They've got some good ones, but like, I love any first seven minutes of a Star Trek,
19:41of a Star Trek from the nineties before the stakes start, before the story starts.
19:46When they're just like, when they're painting or doing flute recitals or like eating,
19:51like just hanging out in that world for a little bit.
19:54And that's when I, I remember when I originally pitched Lower Decks to Alex,
19:58I was like, I just want the whole show to be that.
20:00And then like in the background, there'll be some high stakes stuff.
20:03And he was like, let's go.
20:06To his credit, he was like, I get it.
20:07That's cool.
20:09If this helps at all, Noelle, the way that you're describing how you experience
20:12sort of culture and then you sort of forget, it evoked cause and effect for me.
20:17I don't know if that.
20:18Oh, interesting.
20:19Yeah.
20:20And you know, what's funny is as like, I think that you're going to go back and you're going
20:23to watch these TNG episodes and you're going to watch older Ryan episodes.
20:26And like, what's interesting to me is if you were focused on the older Ryan episodes,
20:31you wouldn't be able to embody this character the way I love you doing.
20:34And because you would be full of all of this, like arithmetic of Star Trek.
20:39And instead, you just get to like, play her as you would play her in this show that she exists,
20:45which I guess is like a heady, boring answer.
20:47But no, but I also approach.
20:48I mean, not to be.
20:50I approach a lot of stuff like that where I don't want information because I feel like it'll
20:55if I overthink it, suddenly it just I fritz out and it doesn't work.
20:59So it's also Star Trek changes so often.
21:02I feel like when the show is when we've wrapped season five, we should watch a couple episodes
21:07and like, and then you can be like, look at these.
21:09Of course, I don't know why we haven't.
21:12I know.
21:12I know we've all been busy and there's been a pandemic, but we actually pull into there's
21:17two really cool Orion episodes at the start of this season, and we pull in some Orion
21:22lore that had kind of been discarded over the decades.
21:25And and Tendi gets to kind of embrace all that stuff.
21:28So you should not watch those episodes.
21:30They're like, they wouldn't have been helpful for you for this stuff.
21:33But we should get together and watch.
21:34I would love to.
21:35That would be wonderful.
21:36This has been really delightful.
21:37Thank you so much.
21:38I have one more question that we've been asking everyone who comes in here, which is what
21:42is on your watch list?
21:44What are you watching right now?
21:46Just the slow, crumbling decay of democracy.
21:50If anybody else is tuning into that must see TV right now.
21:54That's been really great.
21:56A lot of plot twists.
21:57No.
21:57What am I watching?
21:59I just finished watching A Man in Full.
22:02So that was really good.
22:03Jeff Daniels.
22:04Oh, cool.
22:05It's fantastic.
22:08I've been splitting my time between Below Deck's Mediterranean.
22:12Sailing Yacht All the Way.
22:13No, but there's not a new season.
22:15And why are they always surprised when the boat tips?
22:17It's a sailboat.
22:18I know.
22:18They're on a sailboat.
22:19They should know that.
22:20But we like Ayesha.
22:21It's called Healing.
22:22Ayesha is our favorite.
22:22So we watch anything with Ayesha in it.
22:24And then I'm reading this awesome sci-fi book that's new for me, but it's pretty old called
22:28Pandora Star.
22:29Highly recommend it.
22:30It's just like insane world building.
22:32And I found out there's like more books that take place in the world that it built.
22:36So I'm very excited about that.
22:38Reading or listening?
22:39Reading.
22:40I can't listen to fiction.
22:43It makes me feel like I'm in kindergarten.
22:45I don't know.
22:45You like the whole idea of the USS Cerritos came out of you going around town and hearing
22:51all the Cerritos auto square.
22:53That is accurate.
22:54Commercials.
22:55Yeah, I used to hear it on the radio all the time.
22:57So I don't know.
22:58I'm from Chicago.
22:59I don't know where Cerritos is, but I like it.
23:00I just went there the other day.
23:02My car service.
23:02Sorry, let's bring it back.
23:03What are you watching, Noelle?
23:05I'm fully putting my head in the sand as far as Democracy.
23:08I've already been sad about it.
23:09So there's like a Shirley MacLaine retrospective on Criterion app right now.
23:15And so I've just been going through Shirley MacLaine movies.
23:19And that's been really fun.
23:20So like The Apartment.
23:21Just watched The Children's Hour, which I had never even heard of.
23:25And that was incredible.
23:27Sweet Chastity, I think it's called.
23:30It was based on Nights of Cabiria by Fellini.
23:33Anyway, it's been fun.
23:35Um, Love Island.
23:39Hell yeah.
23:39Love Island.
23:41But Ariana did a great job hosting.
23:43It's been a great season.
23:45Really fun.
23:45You would be a great host for that.
23:47Back.
23:48Ariana's got it.
23:49She's incredible.
23:51Yeah, Love Island.
23:53Sorry, I should have said Downton Abbey or something.
23:56Downton Abbey's not even on anymore.
23:58Yeah, Love Island.
24:00Love Island.
24:01Guys, thank you so much.
24:03Why are we clapping?
