00:02Hello, hello!
00:03Hello, how are you?
00:04I'm good, how are you?

00:09You're wearing it well.
00:10Stunning.
00:11Stunning, stunning.
00:12I am obsessed.
00:13Of course.
00:14Like everyone else, I believe here.
00:15I mean, when you're thinking about it, I'm already a season ahead, but we're going to
00:21focus on what we're talking about for the Emmys, right?
00:24Yep.
00:25That family moment.
00:26That scene.
00:27That Thanksgiving.
00:29It was so tense.
00:30How did you do this?
00:31I mean, you know, we shoot very quickly, and we all just kind of really have to be in the
00:37moment.
00:38The way that our wonderful director, Chris Dorr, he shoots is just, you know, we do it
00:43and he's like, we got it.
00:44And everybody's like, wait, we did?
00:46Like on no other thing that I've worked on has things gone this quickly.
00:52And so we all kind of knew we had to like be in it.
00:56And, you know, every take, we're like, it could be our last.
01:00And yeah, when that fork flew, that was like, forget it.
01:06Like that, you could like cut that tension with a knife.
01:10With a fork.
01:11With a fork.
01:12There you go.
01:13I missed it.
01:14You set it up and you lobbed it up.
01:16Yeah, yeah, that was intentional.
01:19This show is, the core cast is fantastic, but you all have also gotten so many fantastic
01:25guest stars.
01:26Who's someone that you would love to see on the show that you haven't gotten a chance
01:30to get on there yet?
01:31Or somebody that you didn't get a chance to work with that was on it that you're like,
01:34bring them back.
01:35I want a scene.
01:36Oh, well, I would love for my dad, Chris Elliott, to be on it.
01:42I would love to see him do like a comedic disgruntled customer.
01:48I love that.
01:50Are you feeling some nice Schitt's Creek vibes for the hosts tonight in Dan and Eugene Levy?
01:55Yeah, I love them.
01:56I've known them for a very long time and I'm psyched to see them.
02:00I saw Emily Hampshire and Annie Murphy, who are also starring on Schitt's Creek.
02:05They were at the MPTF party last night, partying together.
02:08And I was just like, my Schitt's Creek loving heart was just melting.
02:11I know, I know.
02:12And they're all close.
02:13They're all friends.
02:14And it's so nice to see.
02:16Yeah.
02:17When it comes to the bear and just the reaction, the global reaction of this show, when did
02:23you first get tipped off to how much it was resonating?
02:27And how did that affect you?
02:28I think it was the memes.
02:30I think it was the car me in the kitchen and, you know, that me when I make instant ramen,
02:36like that kind of thing.
02:37Like that was like, oh yeah, wait, this is like in the zeitgeist.
02:41I was making those.
02:42I was making those.
02:43Oh, good.
02:44Good.
02:46Yeah, that, I mean, that really kind of just like did it.
02:48And it's, it's so thrilling that like the show, you know, has this audience that it
02:53does.
02:54And, you know, it's, it's unlike anything I've been a part of.
02:58I want to know what the group chat reaction was to the Calvin Klein, Jeremy Allen White ads.
03:03You know, I don't think there was one.
03:05I think we were all just like, I mean, quietly surprised like everybody.
03:12And yeah.
03:14And then I didn't realize that there was going to be another one coming out.
03:17So I opened Instagram and it was like there and it was like, oh wow, another one.
03:22But you're like, that's like my brother.
03:26Exactly.
03:27Literally.
03:28Yeah.
03:29He's like my brother.
03:30And yeah, I know he was, he was with his, his real life sister last night.
03:34And, and I met her and it was like, it honestly was like, wow, we kind of look alike.
03:39Oh, good casting.
03:41Speaking of sister, where do you get your sister vibe for the show?
03:44Like where do you pull that from?
03:46I'm a bigger sister.
03:48And so that, and honestly my, I have a daughter and a, and a young son and watching like my
03:57daughter with my boy.
03:59Like, it's just like, like she's so protective, but it's also, she's so annoyed with them.
04:03Annoyed.
04:04And it's just those very simple, you know, the simple emotions that you have with your
04:09sibling that is, is like it, like you take that with you throughout your life.
04:15Protective and annoyed.
04:16That is perfect.
04:17I'm the baby.
04:18So I'll, I'm sure all my siblings are signing off on that.
04:21There you go.
04:22Do they have a, does your daughter at least have a sense of what you do and, and like
04:28how many people actually know who you are, not as mommy?
04:32She, I mean, she, she really likes watching me get dressed up for these things.
04:37I think she thinks that that's what I do is just like wear a beautiful gown.
04:41Yeah.
04:42Which is not really.
04:44I have a four year old with the same thing.
04:46She was in the bathroom today, like with her finger thinking she was doing.
04:50Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:51Edie is just like, loves, she's like, this is like an Elsa dress.

04:59You, you better make sure that's on a high shelf.
05:00Truly.
