Speaker 1: I got any your d MS one time, and he did,

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: and people thought I was being fresh, But I've never

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: seen a show like Scandal. It was so impressive. I

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: wanted to give you your props. It was My question

5
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: was is it coming back? So that's my first question,

6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: was Scandal coming back?

7
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 2: I don't think so.

8
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 3: I don't think we have another series in US? But

9
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 3: would there have been some grumblings about like what would

10
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 3: it look like to have a Scandal movie?

11
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 2: Would you be open to that?

12
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 1: Okay, as long as I could play command?

13
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 2: You want to play command? What would I say to

14
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:32,520
Speaker 2: Jim Morton?

15
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: You're fired?

16
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 4: So you're a binger? So what was it about that

17
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 4: show that got you hooked? And how long did it

18
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 4: take you to watch the series?

19
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: Because I realized I needed somebody like that in my

20
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: life and I found someone based on your show.

21
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 2: Did you find the real Olio?

22
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 5: No?

23
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:50,640

Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah yeah.

25
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: So when I was watching that show, I was like,

26
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: is this real? And then I looked it.

27
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 2: Up and was it Judy that you found her?

28
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,319
Speaker 1: Another guy's name is Glenn Thing? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah,

29
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: So I was watching this show a.

30
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 3: Real thing, real The show was inspired by a real

31
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 3: woman named Judy Smith who used to work at the

32
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 3: White House but never slept with the president. She was

33
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 3: a black woman who was one of the most powerful

34
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 3: people in DC, and.

35
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 4: She just had all the connections and could do it and.

36
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 2: She still does.

37
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 3: When Scandal was on the air, I would often get

38
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 3: d MS or text messages from people I knew or

39
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 3: didn't know, being like, can you put me in touch

40
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 3: with Judy because and I would be like, you don't

41
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 3: even have to finish the sentence.

42
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: I don't even want to know why. I will just

43
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 2: pass you along to Judy.

44
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: I was watching the show and like, I actually found

45
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: it by accident. No, I actually no, I actually found

46
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: it because of your face.

47
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 2: What do you mean?

48

Speaker 1: four or five seasons kept going and kept going and

51
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: just kept getting attention.

52
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 2: I remember running into you. Do you remember in the

53
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 2: south of France we ran into each other.

54
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 3: I can and you were I was sitting at a

55
00:01:55,160 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 3: restaurant outside and you were like, er my.

56
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 2: Parents about it. I was like I ran a dishock today.

57
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: It was so like a surreal, amazing moment.

58
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: Not to go back. Yeah, but you know, I'm the

59
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: biggest Scandal fan ever for you, as sad as I

60
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: was from shooting the last episode, yes.

61
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 3: No, yes, and no, I was really I was sad

62
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 3: for the fans and thank you for being one of

63
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 3: our fans. And I was sad because you know, those

64
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 3: are some of my best friends, the other actors on

65
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 3: that show. And I knew that from that moment on,

66
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 3: we weren't gonna be able to take for granted that

67
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 3: we would see each other all the time. We were

68
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 3: gonna have to be more intentional about it. And I

69
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 3: knew I would miss them, you know, I miss not

70
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 3: seeing Tony Goldwin all the time. I missed not seeing

71
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 3: Bellamie and Katie and Darby. But also I was excited

72
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 3: to get to do other stuff, you know, even during

73
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 3: the Scandal years. I made Jangle during the Scandal years

74
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 3: and Confirmation, I started my production company, I had two kids,

75
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 3: I got married, like I did a lot in the

76
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 3: off season. But I was excited to grow my production

77
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 3: company and get to do other stuff like little Fires

78
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 3: everywhere and Shadow Force and yeah.

79
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: My last candle question, I'll never again one check.

80
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 4: Can I have been something before you do that? You

81
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 4: know I've never seen.

82
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 2: It, You've never seen an episode.

83
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 4: In fact, we have been talking about how I'm excited

84
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 4: that I haven't because I experienced that, Like I want to, I'm.

85
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 2: Just going to Bingjamin, I do, I do.

86
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 3: I will tell you it does resonate a different way

87
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 3: with interracial couples, like with.

88
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 2: Black Airport today, I was kind of thing.

89
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 4: So I asked her when we were all in the airport,

90
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 4: I said, do you think that scandal caused more black

91
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 4: women to date white guys or vice versa?

92
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: What do we think? What do we think?

93
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,839
Speaker 4: You know, I don't think the reason we got together.

94
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 3: But I think it did kind of subconscious normalized it more.

95
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 2: It made it less taboo.

96
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 4: Have you had people come up to me being like

97
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 4: I tried dating a white guy because of you?

98
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: No?

99
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 3: Okay, but I ask, which is interesting because I do

100
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 3: have a lot of people to me to say they

101
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 3: went into publicity pr or that they became lawyers because

102
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 3: of that character. But I've never had somebody say I've

103
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 3: decided to swirl.

104
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 2: Because of Olivia. Subconscious Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Two part questions, Okay.

105
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: And when Shonda was writing, did she give you freedom

106
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: to change it? Because I really love the relationship between

107
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 1: you and your mother. He was a bad person and

108
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: you should have whacked her, but you don't. Did you

109
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: kind of put her away? But yeah, like I was,

110
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: I was always I was saying, please don't whack her.

111
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: But she used to do a lot of stuff like

112
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: Olivia's gonna kill her.

113
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 3: She was out there, Andy Alexander, such an incredible actress.

114
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 2: She is no.

115
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 3: Shanda is one of these incredible, brilliant, prolific writers who

116
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 3: even would say to us, I don't care how you

117
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 3: say the lines, but you have to say it exactly

118
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 3: how it's written. She's like David Mammott in that it

119
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 3: is well, they're like some of the greats are like that,

120
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 3: and she's one of them and I love that. So

121
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 3: she would take feedback on an early draft. You were

122
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,880

Speaker 3: But once that second draft, after the table read, the
