00:14Yes?
00:15What does it feel like to be here at the Emmys, knowing that not just you, but like the work
00:16that your whole entire team does is so celebrated?
00:18Well, that's just it.
00:19You know, there are 200 people back in New York, hopefully at a party right now.
00:23Hi, guys.
00:24That's true.
00:25Watching.
00:26And, you know, they don't get their name on the building.
00:27They don't get their face on the camera.
00:28But we couldn't do it without them.
00:29It's really, it's a great thing to see the show recognized for that.
00:33And, Evy, I want to know how you stay abreast of the show as someone who has watched him
00:40for so many years.
00:41As someone who wakes up early in the morning.
00:42I watch every night.
00:43I'm like her husband.
00:44You know, I catch up on Fridays.
00:45Catch up on Fridays.
00:46That's what I thought.
00:47That's just real.
00:48Sometimes she'll say, oh, here's this news story.
00:49You guys should make jokes about that.
00:50I'm like, we did last night.
00:51You should check it out.
00:52Oops.
00:54You know, we're up here live on TV talking to people, and those conversations can get
01:06awkward or you tell a joke or ask a question and it pivots in a way you didn't expect.
01:10What is the tips and tricks that you've realized over the years of like, if an interview is
01:14going this way, how do you swerve it back to where you want it to be?
01:19Swerve it right now.
01:20Yeah, swerve it.
01:21What the thing to do is that know that what you want to talk about regardless of where the conversation is going
01:27In this case, we have a new cookbook called
01:29Does this taste funny that we worked on it comes out on Tuesday and we brought you a present
01:34How's that first word? We got this is for you. I'll hold that while you open
01:44Okay
01:47No, it is a bookmark a mayonnaise bookmark with mayonnaise
01:52There's southern recipes
01:57Well that if you get that if you get that mustard on there that that bookmark will certainly taste funny
02:01Although we were joking earlier that the lack of food you may you may end up eating
02:13We
02:14Recently did a cover story with you and we were thrilled to do it and are the writer of that Devin Kogan
02:21Went into all the knickknacks that you have accumulated over the years
02:28What do you call it every little bit of junk
02:32Every one of us precious
02:35Do you have do you have a favorite though? Yes, my favorite thing is probably
02:40Part of the set from the Lord of the Rings where Frodo sails off in the end
02:45That's called the Grey Havens Peter Jackson snapped up one of the towers and gave it to me as a present
02:50It's irreproachable I have it in a little crystal dome in my office take good care of it and take good care of each other
