1
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Kristin Davis, and I want to know are

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:11,319
Speaker 1: you a Charlotte? Hello everybody. I hope you guys are

3
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: having a great day. I was just going to do

4
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 1: just a little episode about this really really fun event

5
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: that we got to do this week for Sarah Jessica.

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 1: It's a brand new thing that the Golden Globes are

7
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: doing where they do an evening before the Golden Globes

8
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: called Golden Eve and they give out two awards, and

9
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: the award Sir Jessica got is the Carol Burnett It's

10
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 1: basically a Lifetime Achievement Award in comedy. And then also

11
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: Dame Helen Mirren was getting this Cecil B. Demill Award,

12
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: which is basically a lifetime Achievement Award in film. So

13
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: they did a whole special dinner, a special evening for

14
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,599
Speaker 1: these two awards and we got to have a bit

15
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: of a reunion. We were missing Cynthia because she's on Broadway.

16
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: But it was really really fun, completely nerve wracking because

17
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: I had to speak and I was very scared, but

18
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: it was an incredible evening. I'm really still processing it.

19
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: It was really intense. There were tears, there was a

20
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: lot of laughter. It was really really fun. My big

21
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: obstacles to the evening. Number one was that I really

22
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: felt so much kind of pressure, but in a good way,

23
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: pressure to speak about Sarah Jessica because I love her

24
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: so much, as you guys know, but also I'm just

25
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: when I look at her entire career, I'm just in

26
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: awe and blown away. And as you know, I'm rewatching

27
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: the show, and every time I watch an episode, I'm

28
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: just like, she's so brilliant. Oh my gosh, Like I

29
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: didn't even know how brilliant she was at the time.

30
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I knew she was brilliant, but every time

31
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: I rewatched, I'm even more impressed. So I really wanted

32
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: to convey that. But I also wanted to convey what

33
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: an incredible person she was, but that's really hard to do.

34
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: So they sent me a speech, and I don't know,

35
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: if you guys know, I'm sober. I've been sober a

36
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: really long time. They sent me a speech basically about Cosmopolitans.

37
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: So I was a little confused. I guess that there's

38
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: you know, you're kind of toasting the winners during the evening,

39
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: and so they did give everyone a Cosmopolitan on the table,

40
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: and luckily Colemyan Domingo stuffed in to toast Sarah Jessica

41
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: with the Cosmo because it was just really I was like,

42
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: I don't think that's the job for me to discuss

43
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: the Cosmopolitan and toast with it since I don't actually

44
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 1: drink it. And they were of course very understanding, and

45
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: so I wrote my own speech, which I felt like

46
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: I needed to do so that it could be you

47
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: know what I want to say from my heart to her,

48
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 1: because it's so rare. It's so rare that you get

49
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: to stand up on a stage and talk about one

50
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: of your friends, Cory. So my whole challenge the whole

51
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: night was trying to get through without crying. And then

52
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: I had gone to rehearse, and you know how they

53
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 1: put those cards up with the pictures of the actors

54
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: and people that are going to be there. Who is

55
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: directly in front of the microphone but Harrison Ford. So

56
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, now I've met Harrison before. He's lovely,

57
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: but he is still Harrison Ford. There is nothing that

58
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: can change that, right, So I have to not be

59
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: completely shut down by the fact that Harrison Ford is

60
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: sitting there looking at me. So luckily Sara Jessica was

61
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: at the other table right in front of me. So

62
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: my goal, and I do think I was able to

63
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: do this, was to look at her. Obviously I've been

64
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: in many work situations with her and you know, tune

65
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: into her, talk to her. But also, you know, remember

66
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: that I'm talking to the bigger audience about her. And

67
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: I do feel like I did well. I did what

68
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: I wanted to do, and I know this because she

69
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: had to get a tissue out, which is very very rare,

70
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: you guys, very very rare. But then I also had

71
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: a moment of panic. Am I actually going to be

72
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: able to finish if she now has a tissue out

73
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: and I can see her being moved and I am

74
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: still having to talk. So that was challenging. But I

75
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: did it. I did it, And part of the reason

76
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: that I was able to do it is because so

77
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: many friends were in the audience, basically all of HBO.

78
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: Came Casey Bloyd, who I love so much, Carolyn Strauss,

79
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: our original head of original programming at HBO when we

80
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: made the show. Incredible to see STRAUSSI as we call her,

81
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: Amy Harris, one of our writers. You know, I could

82
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: just go on and on, Kevin Huvain, who's been Sarah's

83
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: agent for thirty years, who we love so so desperately,

84
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: people who have been in her life in my life

85
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: for such a long time and were such a pep

86
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: squad to me at the table. So basically we go

87
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: in luckily. So first I got there, Okay, first I

88
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: couldn't decide what to wear. I'll take you through the

89
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: whole thing because I haven't been on a red carpet

90
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: in a while, and I also haven't been working in

91
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: a while, so I'm just in mommy mode. My nails

92
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: are a mess, I don't have a fake tan, like

93
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: so many things people, it's so much work I can't

94
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: even tell you. So I've been in a bit of

95
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: a low grade stress place because also it's just basically

96
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: right after the holidays, right, so you're in holiday mode,

97
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden you're in like red

98
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: carpet mode, very challenging. I have a wonderful stylist, Samantha McMillan,

99
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: and she got me two gorgeous, gorgeous dresses. It was

100
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: really hard to figure out what to wear because we

101
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: couldn't exactly understand what the event was because they've never

102
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: filmed it to make a TV special of it before,

103
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,559
Speaker 1: so that was odd, and I wasn't one hundred percent

104
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: sure what Sarah was going to wear. My goal is

105
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: usually not necessarily to know exactly what she's wearing, but

106
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: I don't want to clash with her, so I usually

107
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,559
Speaker 1: try to check in with her or Alyssa, who works

108
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: with her, and just say like, hey, I've got a

109
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: brown dress, I've got a black dress. Is there anything

110
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: I should think about? They're always like, whatever you want.

111
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: But I knew that she was going to wear something sparkly.

112
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: I had a head to toe brown sequin dress that

113
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: I loved, loved very much. Then I had the dress

114
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 1: I ended up wearing, which was very beautiful black, simple

115
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: dress by Saint John with that kind of almost like

116
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: a necklace halter top, so it was super easy to wear.

117
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: Both of them were super easy to wear, and I

118
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: couldn't decide till the very last minute. So I had

119
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 1: my hair Marcus Francis, who I love so much, my

120
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: makeup Heather Curry, who I love so much. They came over,

121
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: Samantha came over, everybody conferred, and because I had already

122
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: gone to rehearse. I had filmed the room at the time,

123
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: and the room was kind of gold and purple, beautiful flowers.

124
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: They did a really beautiful job to me, much more

125
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: beautiful than the room that we actually did the Golden

126
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: Globes in which has like this semi hideous carpet unless

127
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: they've changed it. But that room is really huge and

128
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: overwhelming in terms of the number of people, but also

129
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: just the number of famous faces. It's like fully overwhelming.

130
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: This was a more intimate room, but still a lot

131
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: of famous faces. Still overwhelming, but in a more intimate way.

132
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: So when we looked at the footage of the room,

133
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 1: we decided to go with a black and I'm glad

134
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: I did because I was more complimentary to Sir Jessica.

135
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: I definitely felt that I was there to support Sir Jessica,

136
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: you know, which is like you have to really navigate that.

137
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: You know, you want to look good, but you don't

138
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: want to be you know, I'm not getting an award,

139
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: She's getting an award. I feel like that's important, So

140
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: I'm happy to be there in a support element. And

141
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: I loved my Saint John dress, and they gave me

142
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: a little jacket because I was really worried I was

143
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: going to be freezing. And then I got some gorgeous

144
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: earrings and you know, my hair was down, so I

145
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: felt less less naked. But then I got to the

146
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: red carpet a little bit early because there's construction all

147
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: around the Beverly Hilton, and I was really worried I

148
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: would be late, so I got there a little bit early.

149
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: Nobody was there yet. I saw these pictures of me

150
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: in the red carpet and I look really mad, and

151
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: I did not feel really mad. But I feel like

152
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: being on a red carpet with a bunch of photographers

153
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: is just never really that comfortable. You know. People sometimes

154
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: are like, why is she making that face? Why is

155
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: she posing like that? About me, but also about everybody else,

156
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: because it's just very odd, you know, it's a very

157
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: odd thing. So the first pictures I saw, I was like, oh, no,

158
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: I look really mad. But then Evan came and he

159
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: brought his daughter, Sophia. He plays Harry For anyone who

160
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: doesn't know, it was such a joy to see him.

161
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: David Eigenberg came and brought his daughter, then Sarah Jessica

162
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: and Matthew her husband, Matthew Broderick, who I love and

163
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: know obviously very well, and their son James Wilkie, who

164
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: I've been talking to since he was, you know, in

165
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: the womb. They came, and then I felt super great,

166
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: and then I looked fine for the rest of the

167
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: evening and not so mad, which was good. So they came.

168
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 1: It was amazing, It was so much fun. I didn't

169
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: know that everyone was going to bring their children. I'm

170
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: sure my daughter is going to be mad that she

171
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: wasn't there. And then all of our friends came, as

172
00:08:52,080 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: I was saying, which was really great. So then we

173
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: go into the room. A lot of fun, fun people came.

174
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: Viola Davis came to give Helen Mihr and her award.

175
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: Love Viola so so so much. Tessa Thompson came to

176
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: give Helen Mirren the award. I'd never met her, but

177
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: she's incredible, and we chatted a lot. It was really

178
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: really fun, so many great people. Ted Dance and Mary

179
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: Steinberg and his wife, incredible Harrison Ford, as I already mentioned.

180
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: Then I look across the room and I see my

181
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: friend Walton Guggins, and I'm so excited. I've known Walton

182
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: a long time because our kids went to school together.

183
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: And you know, he's an incredible actor and he's been

184
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: acting forever. But of course he was on the White

185
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: Lotus did an unbelievable job and blew up, as you

186
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: guys all know. And I have been so excited, and

187
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: we've been texting each other intermittently, you know, just watching

188
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: him go on S and L. I mean, all of

189
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: the things he's been doing. He's just been doing such

190
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: a great job. And that really is who he is, Like,

191
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: he's just an incredibly fascinating guy. He's always been hot

192
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: like that. I just don't think that people knew. I

193
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: remember I had I had someone ask me before the

194
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: show had come on, like, you know, is he hot?

195
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: And I was like, yes, are you kidding? And I

196
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: think now everyone knows that he is in fact hot.

197
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 1: But there was this one thing that was always feeling

198
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: a little worried for him because he's across the room,

199
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: He's not sitting near us, and I just saw him

200
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: surrounded by these women. There were a lot of women

201
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 1: around him. They were all touching him. I know him,

202
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 1: and I know his wife Nadia. I love Naughty very much,

203
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: and I was like, I need to go over there

204
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: and help Bolton out of this situation. And there was

205
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: this one woman who's just like, you're so hot, You're

206
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: so hot. She just kept telling him over and I

207
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: was like, okay, like back off, and she's like, and

208
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: your wife too, and I was like okay. And of

209
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: course Walton can handle himself. I'm sure he was fine,

210
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: but there was a gaggle. There was a gaggle at

211
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: one point, and I felt worried for him. So I

212
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: did go over and I get to have a really

213
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: great chat with him, and I just, you know, of course,

214
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: told him again how thrilled I am for him, and

215
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: he's having a great time, which is nice. So that

216
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: was really really nice. It's good to see people that

217
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: you haven't seen in a while. That's kind of the

218
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: best part of going to these big award shows is

219
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 1: you just get to just see everybody and chat and

220
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: connect and it's fun. You know, it's very overwhelming, Like

221
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: I did not sleep last night at all, Like you

222
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: cannot calm down. And I remember back in the olden

223
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: days when we went to these things a lot, I

224
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 1: just didn't sleep. I mean we would go out, of

225
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: course to the different HBO parties or whatever. It wasn't

226
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: that type of night last night, thank god, because I

227
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: don't know if I could have handled it. But like,

228
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: it's just kind of like a sensory overload in a way,

229
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: so I had to speak. I was very nervous. I

230
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: didn't know the run of show. They hadn't explained to

231
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: me exactly the run of show, so I just knew

232
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: that I was in the first half hour. They fed

233
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: us first, which was great, but I had a little

234
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: trouble eating because I was so nervous, and I just

235
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: didn't quite know what time when I would go right

236
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: or even I knew that Coleman was giving the toast

237
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: and then they would pass to me and I would

238
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: have to get up and wind my way through this

239
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: very crowded audience up to the stage, and I was

240
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: just hoping I could get up there, which I did.

241
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: So I was nervous. I couldn't relax, couldn't relax, couldn't relax.

242
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: Then the show starts and Matthew started the show. And

243
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: Matthew rarely rarely talks intimately about Sara Juska, so I

244
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: know that he was very nervous, and he did such

245
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: a great job he got up, he opened the show,

246
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: and then he got up again to actually present her

247
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: with her award. And it was so great because he

248
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: talked about so many details. He talked about what she

249
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 1: was wearing when he met her, what he remembers about

250
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: when he met her, which is just so incredible to

251
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: think about. He remembers when they got the script for

252
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: the pilot of Sex and the City and what he thought,

253
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 1: and so he told us what he thought, and then

254
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: he told us what he said to her, which is interesting.

255
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,719
Speaker 1: I know she knew everything he was thinking that he

256
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: thinks he didn't say, but it was really funny to hear.

257
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: And she, when she accepted her reward, told so many

258
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: great just stories about her beginning love for performing, and

259
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: there was a story that I didn't actually know all

260
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: of which is so crazy because so if you don't

261
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: know Sarah, Jessica has been acting since she was a child.

262
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: I think roughly ten, I want to say, and when

263
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: she was I want to say, twelve, twelve or thirteen,

264
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: she was in Annie on Broadway. And when I was young,

265
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: I was in South Carolina, but I loved theater and

266
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: I loved acting already, and my parents took me to

267
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: see Annie on Broadway, and I saw Sarah Jessica play

268
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: an orphan in Annie on Broadway when we were in

269
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: our tweens, which is insane, but even crazier than that.

270
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: After I got out of college, I went to college

271
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: as an actor BFA in acting. I thought I would

272
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: just do regional theater, and I was praying to God

273
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: I might get a Broadway show. One day, I went

274
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati, where Sarah was born and where she was

275
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: raised in her young years, and I did a play

276
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: Much Ado About Nothing by Shakespeare at Cincinnati Playhouse in

277
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: the Park, a beautiful theater up on a hill in Cincinnati.

278
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: I did not know that Sarah Jessica's mother met Sarah

279
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: Jessica's father at Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, and all

280
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: of her siblings went to the rehearsals where their parents,

281
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: not her biological father, but her father who raised her,

282
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: met and performed. And at one point the director said

283
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: to the cast, those kids know this score of Once

284
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: Upon a Mattress, which I'll get to in a second,

285
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: better than you guys do, meaning the cast meaning Sarah

286
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: and her brothers and sisters knew the score better. And

287
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: was that director not right, and like press in what

288
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: he was saying about those kids, Yes he was. Now.

289
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: The other crazy connection is that Sarah Jessica was getting

290
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: the Carol Burnett Award. Carol Burnett originated the role in

291
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: Once Upon a Mattress on Broadway, And when I met

292
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: Sarah for Sex and the City, she was on Broadway

293
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: playing the lead role in Once Upon a Mattress and

294
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: I saw her. Is that not so many connections? Can

295
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: you even believe that? And I didn't even know this

296
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: story about her parents' meeting and doing a play Once

297
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: Upon a Mattress at Cinctanti Playhouse in the Park. I mean,

298
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: it's really insane. So anyway, it was a full circle

299
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: moment in so many ways, a full circle evening. It

300
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: was insane. Sarah and I did discuss that she is

301
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: too young to beginning a Lifetime Achievement award. It is weird,

302
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: you know, like how did this happen? What is going on?

303
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: But on the other hand, for me, I'm just thrilled

304
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: that there are honoring her. I'm thrilled that they're you know,

305
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: recognizing her contributions through her whole entire career. Like once

306
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: they started playing the clips of all of her different performances.

307
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just so much fun to watch La

308
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,000
