0:00:57.440 --> 0:00:58.080
<v Speaker 1>you know that place?

0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:03.880
<v Speaker 2>We were at? The Kennedy Center Awards. Was it twenty seventeen?

0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:06.479
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, my years are bad, but yeah, it was when

0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Riva got the award and we were both part of

0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:10.040
<v Speaker 1>the presentation for Riva.

0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:16.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and it was absolutely so out of my box

0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:20.160
<v Speaker 2>and like zone, and I was so thrilled to be there.

0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:22.680
<v Speaker 2>I was one of the That was one of the

0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:25.320
<v Speaker 2>shows I would watch every every year because I just

0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:28.600
<v Speaker 2>love learning more about like artists and watching other artists

0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:32.959
<v Speaker 2>celebrate them. And it was the year that Share was there,

0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:39.640
<v Speaker 2>Linn Manuel, Miranda. Who else was there that year? Oh

0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:43.160
<v Speaker 2>my gosh, was it? I not Ira Glass? What was it?

0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:47.279
<v Speaker 1>I remember Linn Manuel, Miranda for sure, and Share because

0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:50.560
<v Speaker 1>I looked. So what I remember from that show was

0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:52.000
<v Speaker 1>I got a call from Riba going, hey, will you

0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:54.520
<v Speaker 1>come out and do the very beginning of my intro?

0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:57.040
<v Speaker 1>And so I'm like, sure, whatever he wants. I love

0:01:57.120 --> 0:02:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Riva and so yes, I'm in. Whatever you want. It's like,

0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:02.160
<v Speaker 1>go tell a couple jokes and do this lead in.

0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:05.720
<v Speaker 1>And I didn't know she was first off and that

0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:08.720
<v Speaker 1>and I do enough stand up that I'm not so

0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:10.760
<v Speaker 1>intimidated by people in the crowd. But there were like

0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Supreme Court judges Sharon Reeber were sitting right up there

0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:16.200
<v Speaker 1>in front of that to me was a heavy room.

0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh yes, and you know, I'll tell you another. On

0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:24.360
<v Speaker 2>my way there. As I landed in Washington or in DC,

0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 2>I had an email that said, would you like to

0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:29.600
<v Speaker 2>do the presentation at the state dinner the night before.

0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:32.639
<v Speaker 2>You know, when they get when they get the necklace

0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 2>and you have to go up and speak. And I

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:39.440
<v Speaker 2>was I thought, oh, all right, and you know you're

0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:42.680
<v Speaker 2>in you know you're in the room. It was it

0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:45.520
<v Speaker 2>was like the Martha Washington bathroom was down the hall,

0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:49.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, which I probably stole some paper towels from

0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:53.200
<v Speaker 2>their share there. It's like, you know you're at you

0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 2>recognize the room you're in. And I had no notes.

0:02:57.040 --> 0:02:59.760
<v Speaker 2>I just made it up and got up there. And

0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:03.560
<v Speaker 2>it was so terrifying. I believe. I said something like,

0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:06.000
<v Speaker 2>and Char's looking at me, and if I look at her,

0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:09.720
<v Speaker 2>it'll be like looking into an eclipse. And you know,

0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:12.480
<v Speaker 2>I just it was so much. It was just a

0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:14.680
<v Speaker 2>different room. And you know what you're Yeah, we've been

0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:17.400
<v Speaker 2>in rooms. I've been in front of a lot of people,

0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:18.880
<v Speaker 2>but it's a different thing.

0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:19.520
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:21.800
<v Speaker 2>People are like, oh, it's just like it's just like

0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:24.400
<v Speaker 2>the People's Choice. No it's not. It's not like the

0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 2>People's Choice, not at all. There's somebody who just got

0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:30.520
<v Speaker 2>back from the G seven stummit. So no, it's not

0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:33.840
<v Speaker 2>the same thing. So it was this very strange mix

0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:39.120
<v Speaker 2>of just politics and entertainment. And then like, I was,

0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:43.560
<v Speaker 2>do you remember being downstairs before the actual the televised event,

0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:47.960
<v Speaker 2>were you down underneath it? I was there, and I

0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:51.360
<v Speaker 2>heard all of the Shuler sisters that were coming to

0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:54.960
<v Speaker 2>sing from the from Hamilton were warming up in like

0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:57.839
<v Speaker 2>a room next to me, and I thought, how why

0:03:57.880 --> 0:03:59.760
<v Speaker 2>am I here? How am I even in the same

0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:02.520
<v Speaker 2>or room as these amazing voices. I feel like I

0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:04.320
<v Speaker 2>should write them a check and just slip it under

0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:08.360
<v Speaker 2>the door, because that was just the price of admission

0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:10.720
<v Speaker 2>to hear them sing like that. It was just it

0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:14.280
<v Speaker 2>was very intimidating. It was an intimidating audience. But of

0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:17.800
<v Speaker 2>course you say yes because it's Reba, and I wanted

0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:20.480
<v Speaker 2>to honor her because she deserved it. And it was

0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:22.560
<v Speaker 2>a thrill. It was truly a thrill to be there.

0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:24.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was a special night. And then I think

0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:28.599
<v Speaker 1>if I were betting money, I think CBS piped in

0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:30.479
<v Speaker 1>laughter for a couple of my jokes, because I don't

0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:33.320
<v Speaker 1>remember getting the laughs that I got in the room.

0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:35.440
<v Speaker 1>I really don't. And I thought, man, I'm going to

0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:37.680
<v Speaker 1>be embarrassed because I went up and I told a

0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:41.360
<v Speaker 1>couple jokes and I thought, eh, opening stiff room and

0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:43.760
<v Speaker 1>also Supreme Court justices. And then they aired it back.

0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:45.240
<v Speaker 1>I swear to god, they piped in laughter, and I

0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:46.320
<v Speaker 1>was so thankful that they did that.

0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:48.919
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know what, I was there, and you were funny,

0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:50.599
<v Speaker 2>and you were great, and you were perfect, and you

0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:52.520
<v Speaker 2>were very funny and you probably don't know if you

0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:54.920
<v Speaker 2>got laughs because it was weird. It's just such an

0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:57.640
<v Speaker 2>odd it's just a weird room. But you were great,

0:04:58.160 --> 0:04:58.839
<v Speaker 2>you really were.

0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:02.360
<v Speaker 1>So you Riba go back to Riba. Is that when

0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:05.280
<v Speaker 1>you guys first started. Did you know each other pre

0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:08.280
<v Speaker 1>Riba the show in like two thousand and one.

0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:11.520
<v Speaker 2>No, we did not. The first time I met her

0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:15.120
<v Speaker 2>in person was the first day of the table read

0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:15.880
<v Speaker 2>for the show.

0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:21.000
<v Speaker 1>And so you didn't audition for her or with her.

0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:26.000
<v Speaker 2>No, I didn't. I had auditioned. When I auditioned, the

0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:30.400
<v Speaker 2>show was still called Sally, I believe because they didn't

0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:34.480
<v Speaker 2>know she wasn't attached yet. So at that point I

0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:37.000
<v Speaker 2>was auditioning for this show Sally, and I believe by

0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:39.520
<v Speaker 2>the time I got to like that callback where you're

0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:42.200
<v Speaker 2>in front of network, at that point she was attached

0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:44.920
<v Speaker 2>to it. And I thought, oh, my gosh, please let

0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:47.640
<v Speaker 2>her be attached to it, because I just feel like

0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:51.520
<v Speaker 2>it will. She's she's sort of like everything she does

0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:54.039
<v Speaker 2>sort of works and turns to golds, and like I

0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:55.919
<v Speaker 2>just wanted her to do it and I just wanted

0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:59.880
<v Speaker 2>to meet her. But I never auditioned with her. Nope,

0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:00.400
<v Speaker 2>I did not.

0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:03.440
<v Speaker 1>What was your process like even auditioning for Sally? Because

0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.440
<v Speaker 1>she's told that story before about how it wasn't about

0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:07.840
<v Speaker 1>her until you know, she accepted it. So was that

0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:11.000
<v Speaker 1>initially just a large casting where you went in with

0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:12.520
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of other people that look like you and

0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:14.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, had you had your characteristics?

0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:18.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean you know I went in and to me,

0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:21.240
<v Speaker 2>it's it sticks in my mind because it was one

0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:24.800
<v Speaker 2>of those auditions where the script was really funny. I

0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:27.480
<v Speaker 2>love the idea of this character that they were creating,

0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:31.279
<v Speaker 2>of the other woman, the new wife, and I just

0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:33.440
<v Speaker 2>but I didn't quite know how to attack it.

0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:33.560
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:35.920
<v Speaker 2>I was like, gosh, I usually you know when you

0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.599
<v Speaker 2>you know this, when you have when you get it,

0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:40.279
<v Speaker 2>you're like, oh, I see who this person is. And

0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:42.159
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't until I was I remember sitting in the

0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:44.760
<v Speaker 2>parking lot about to go in and I just went, h,

0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:49.480
<v Speaker 2>I got it, I got it. I have to play

0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:52.479
<v Speaker 2>her that she has no idea that they are not

0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:55.400
<v Speaker 2>best friends. I have to play that I have no

0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:58.200
<v Speaker 2>idea that whatever insult or anything she throws, it's like,

0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:01.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't, I wouldn't. I it doesn't register with her

0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:03.680
<v Speaker 2>because I have to think that, of course we're going

0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:05.880
<v Speaker 2>to be best friends. We have so much in common,

0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:09.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, we like the same guys or whatever it was.

0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:11.440
<v Speaker 2>But I just go, you she has to be she

0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:14.600
<v Speaker 2>can't fight back. She has to just know, like, oh,

0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:16.720
<v Speaker 2>she we're going to be best friends anyway. So I

0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:19.720
<v Speaker 2>just remember having that click and go, oh, that's what

0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:22.640
<v Speaker 2>it is, and then going into the audition. I leave

0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:25.360
<v Speaker 2>and one of the producers followed came out after me,

0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:28.520
<v Speaker 2>which never happens unless they're like, oh, you know, we

0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:31.640
<v Speaker 2>don't validate. That's usually what it is. But he came

0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:32.920
<v Speaker 2>out and said, you know, he knew I was going

0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:34.120
<v Speaker 2>out of town, and I said, He's like, where are

0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:35.400
<v Speaker 2>you going and said, just going out of town for

0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:37.680
<v Speaker 2>the weekend and I'll be back in LA on Monday.

0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:39.880
<v Speaker 2>And again that doesn't happen, and I when I by

0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:42.360
<v Speaker 2>the time I landed in Seattle. I'd gotten a callback,

0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:45.120
<v Speaker 2>so I go back to I think a network callback,

0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:48.120
<v Speaker 2>and then it was studio. But if I'm remembering correctly,

0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:50.200
<v Speaker 2>and I feel like again, it's clear to the people

0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:53.920
<v Speaker 2>that we didn't, you know, research this before we talk,

0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:56.160
<v Speaker 2>because otherwise we'd have better idea of when the Kennedy

0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.560
<v Speaker 2>Center Honors was we were at, and I would remember this.

0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:02.360
<v Speaker 2>But I believe that that the three at the final

0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:07.920
<v Speaker 2>was Rachel Harris, who's a brilliant, funny comedian actress who's

0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:12.800
<v Speaker 2>very successful, and I think Suki who's married to Kevin

0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:16.920
<v Speaker 2>Neelan and I'm going to butcher her lasting Suki. It

0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:18.200
<v Speaker 2>was the three of us. I think we were the

0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:22.440
<v Speaker 2>three women that were last up for barbarageing and very

0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:27.240
<v Speaker 2>very funny and sort of just different flavors of that character.

0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:31.600
<v Speaker 2>And by the time I went in, I did the

0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:34.600
<v Speaker 2>final test, which is nerve wracking, and when I was

0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:37.880
<v Speaker 2>driving out, I got a call from my agent that

0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:40.880
<v Speaker 2>I booked it, which I didn't think I would because

0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:42.679
<v Speaker 2>I was standing next to two other actresses who I

0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:45.280
<v Speaker 2>knew were hilarious and very funny.

0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:47.319
<v Speaker 1>At what point can you fill a shift in a

0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:51.400
<v Speaker 1>sitcom where you know it's being taken by the audience

0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:54.160
<v Speaker 1>and that there's probably a good chance that it gets renewed.

0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:57.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you. I don't. I don't think as

0:08:57.240 --> 0:08:59.720
<v Speaker 2>an actor you really know that because you sort of

0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:01.439
<v Speaker 2>do your thing and then you put it out there

0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:04.960
<v Speaker 2>and it's sort of up to the the other things

0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:06.600
<v Speaker 2>that you're out of your control. And also the time

0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:10.199
<v Speaker 2>we did that show, there wasn't a ton of and

0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:13.760
<v Speaker 2>like that initials feedback we can get now on social media.

0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:16.160
<v Speaker 2>It was there, but it wasn't quite like it was today.

0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:18.400
<v Speaker 2>So you know, you're doing this show and you kind

0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:20.640
<v Speaker 2>of put it out there. It felt right while we

0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:22.360
<v Speaker 2>were doing it, you know, it felt like there was

0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:26.040
<v Speaker 2>this chemistry there, and specifically for season two, I remember

0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:29.719
<v Speaker 2>there was this click with the cast and with the

0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:32.920
<v Speaker 2>characters of the Barbaradini and Reeb were like, oh, okay,

0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:36.360
<v Speaker 2>this is the show. But for me anyway, I don't

0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:40.719
<v Speaker 2>think I even understood what it was until we were

0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:43.760
<v Speaker 2>off the air for how many years, And it was

0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:46.440
<v Speaker 2>in being syndicated and the love that it got there

0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:49.520
<v Speaker 2>that's when I sort of went, oh, you know, I

0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:54.880
<v Speaker 2>truly sort of felt the the the audience loved for

0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:57.720
<v Speaker 2>and how people were taking it. So I think during

0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:00.960
<v Speaker 2>the actual shooting and running of it those first six seasons,

0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:02.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if I ever really had a grasp

0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:04.960
<v Speaker 2>of what it was going to be or what it

0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:07.440
<v Speaker 2>was to audience. I mean, obviously people liked it, they

0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:10.640
<v Speaker 2>loved meeting you in person and talking about reb I

0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:13.760
<v Speaker 2>felt the chemistry of the cast, and it felt like

0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:15.760
<v Speaker 2>we were doing really good work. But I don't know.

0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:18.840
<v Speaker 2>I was also just sort of it was my first

0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:20.880
<v Speaker 2>series regular, and I felt like my job was just

0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:23.600
<v Speaker 2>to come in and do my work. And you know,

0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:26.160
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know a lot either was I was really

0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:27.480
<v Speaker 2>young and naive too.

0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:31.040
<v Speaker 1>For me, I would watch the show, but I never

0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:34.320
<v Speaker 1>watched every episode until it was syndicated, and that's when

0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:36.720
<v Speaker 1>I really felt like I had a relationship with the show.

0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:39.160
<v Speaker 1>It was on USA, it was on CMT because it

0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:42.760
<v Speaker 1>was on a lot so you can catch all the episodes.

0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Did you feel that when it went into syndication that

0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:49.400
<v Speaker 1>you could feel the show's popularity and even your star

0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:51.199
<v Speaker 1>rise because it was just so present.

0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:55.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean with somethings on every day and people

0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:59.760
<v Speaker 2>are consuming it. Yes, I definitely felt that and it

0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:03.320
<v Speaker 2>was it was you know, it was where you got

0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:05.760
<v Speaker 2>recognized a lot more. I felt like in that syndication

0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:09.000
<v Speaker 2>there was so much more love and consumption of the

0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.120
<v Speaker 2>show just because it was it was there all the time,

0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:14.840
<v Speaker 2>and then people really loved it. It was fun to

0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:18.800
<v Speaker 2>see that. And then TikTok when when they now cut

0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:20.800
<v Speaker 2>to you know, even years later, where there's this other

0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:24.520
<v Speaker 2>resurgence of it. And ultimately, I do think that all

0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:28.360
<v Speaker 2>of those things, if the writing wasn't great, if the

0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:30.680
<v Speaker 2>if the if they hadn't created these characters that people

0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:32.920
<v Speaker 2>wanted to be around, that wouldn't have mattered. But they did,

0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:35.480
<v Speaker 2>and I can watch it. I hate watching things that

0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:38.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm in unless I have distance from it.

0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:38.440
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:40.920
<v Speaker 2>Distance is a lot easier for me, And I can

0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:43.520
<v Speaker 2>watch those episodes now of that show and just think

0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:46.920
<v Speaker 2>it's really funny and a lot it holds up, and

0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:50.880
<v Speaker 2>it was. We did do some really fun and great things,

0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:54.800
<v Speaker 2>and I love watching the chemistry between everybody. So yeah,

0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:58.360
<v Speaker 2>it's it's been, it's it's sort of it's it's I

0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:01.040
<v Speaker 2>feel very grateful that, you know, I'm in one of

0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:03.480
<v Speaker 2>those shows that people still kind of watch today.

0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:08.040
<v Speaker 1>Can you educate me and us on especially that show,

0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:10.679
<v Speaker 1>because there's an audience what a week is like of

0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:12.920
<v Speaker 1>doing that show, and what would happen on a Monday

0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:15.680
<v Speaker 1>versus a Saturday, and what day it actually was recorded.

0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:20.240
<v Speaker 2>It's a multiicam, is a five day it's one episode

0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:22.920
<v Speaker 2>is in five days. And what we're doing right now

0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:25.360
<v Speaker 2>in Happiest Place is the exact same sort of schedule

0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:28.400
<v Speaker 2>we did on the original Reabis show, which is we're

0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:32.280
<v Speaker 2>Wednesday to Tuesday show, which means Wednesday is our table read.

0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:35.720
<v Speaker 2>We come in, that's our day, one of our five days.

0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:38.200
<v Speaker 2>So we come in and we do it our table

0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:42.440
<v Speaker 2>read in front of the studio and network, and we

0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:44.920
<v Speaker 2>read it out loud for everybody in the writers and

0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:47.360
<v Speaker 2>then we would go away and maybe go to a

0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:51.719
<v Speaker 2>costume fitting or hang out address room for a while

0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:54.840
<v Speaker 2>while they get notes from the studio and network, and

0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:56.800
<v Speaker 2>then we would come back in after they all give

0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:59.719
<v Speaker 2>their notes, and our director would usually say, all right,

0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:01.720
<v Speaker 2>this is going to change. This is going to change

0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:03.840
<v Speaker 2>some changes here, but we're going to put it on

0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:05.960
<v Speaker 2>its feet, and we'd have a light day of rehearsal

0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:09.800
<v Speaker 2>on that first table read day, so you know, we

0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:12.040
<v Speaker 2>got in there at ten o'clock for table read. We

0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:15.720
<v Speaker 2>were probably done by two, so it's a great schedule

0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:19.760
<v Speaker 2>for that way. And then the next day is come in.

0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:22.800
<v Speaker 2>They probably got a new script overnight they addressed the

0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:26.079
<v Speaker 2>changes from studio network. We get there at probably nine,

0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:28.680
<v Speaker 2>and if we need to, we might read it again,

0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:30.920
<v Speaker 2>just just for the writers, or maybe just for the

0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:33.960
<v Speaker 2>cast if there was a lot of changes, and then

0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:36.160
<v Speaker 2>we'd start rehearsing it. We'd start blocking it with our

0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:39.920
<v Speaker 2>director and we'd rehearse the whole show, have a lunch

0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:42.800
<v Speaker 2>and a break, maybe have fittings during that day, and

0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:48.640
<v Speaker 2>then you do a studio or which is first networker studio.

0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:51.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, I've been doing this how many years?

0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:55.440
<v Speaker 2>I think it would be a studio run through that day.

0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:57.760
<v Speaker 2>So then the writers come down the studio and we'd

0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:00.120
<v Speaker 2>do the whole show as we rehearse it that day,

0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:05.000
<v Speaker 2>and then we would get notes. And Kevin Abbott, who

0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:08.440
<v Speaker 2>was our showrunner, him and Matt Barry were the two

0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:13.920
<v Speaker 2>leaders in the first rib show, and Kevinabbitt's our showrunner

0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:16.280
<v Speaker 2>this one, and Matt Barry's been there since the original

0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:19.440
<v Speaker 2>River show. And what's great about Kevin, is that a

0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:22.800
<v Speaker 2>lot of times you don't get to sit in with

0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:25.960
<v Speaker 2>the producers or have an opportunity to ask questions. So

0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:28.320
<v Speaker 2>after that first run through, we sit with the after

0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:30.960
<v Speaker 2>this network would leave, we'd sit and Kevin would say,

0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:33.040
<v Speaker 2>these are some of the changes, and maybe ask us

0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:35.240
<v Speaker 2>if we had any ideas or anything that was bumping us,

0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:37.280
<v Speaker 2>and blah blah blah, and then we would go home,

0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:40.960
<v Speaker 2>get a new script that night coming on Friday, read it,

0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:43.680
<v Speaker 2>rehearse it, and then do a network studio run through

0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:47.280
<v Speaker 2>with the writers, and then they would give maybe even

0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:49.320
<v Speaker 2>more notes, and then over the weekend the writers might

0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:52.480
<v Speaker 2>address those. Coming on Monday, you camera block the whole

0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:54.880
<v Speaker 2>show in front of the cameras so they know exactly

0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:58.240
<v Speaker 2>what we're going to do, and then you might do

0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:00.720
<v Speaker 2>some pre shoots. If there's a set that's way far

0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:03.240
<v Speaker 2>away from the studio audience, or a set that's only

0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:06.400
<v Speaker 2>there for a few days, or an outdoor scene, you

0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:08.120
<v Speaker 2>would do a pre shoot that day that you would

0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:10.400
<v Speaker 2>plug in in front of the studio audience. Is this boring?

0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:12.240
<v Speaker 2>This is so long? Now this down?

0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:13.800
<v Speaker 1>No? I won't cut it down it all. I'm super

0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:15.280
<v Speaker 1>interested in like all the nuance of it, So I'm

0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:16.720
<v Speaker 1>paying attention here, okay.

0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:20.120
<v Speaker 2>And then so Mondays is camera blocking, maybe some pre

0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:23.120
<v Speaker 2>shoot days, and then you go home. And then Tuesdays

0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:25.240
<v Speaker 2>or show day, we tape. But we're on a Tuesday

0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:28.240
<v Speaker 2>night show. You come in maybe later than the other days.

0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:30.560
<v Speaker 2>You come in and camera block refresh they call it

0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:33.400
<v Speaker 2>camera refreshed, so you refresh all the scenes that you're

0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:34.840
<v Speaker 2>going to do that night in front of the audience

0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:36.760
<v Speaker 2>with your camera guys, so you know where we're going

0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:39.680
<v Speaker 2>to be, where you need to get for your camera,

0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:41.880
<v Speaker 2>or how this is going to go. Then you would

0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:44.240
<v Speaker 2>cast would be sent away to hair and makeup. We'd

0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:49.080
<v Speaker 2>get ourselves glammed up and have dinner, and then we

0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:51.880
<v Speaker 2>would meet in the makeup room for touchups and we'd

0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:55.480
<v Speaker 2>usually do a quick spreed through of the script, which

0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:57.160
<v Speaker 2>is we just quick do it as fast as we

0:15:57.240 --> 0:15:59.440
<v Speaker 2>can off book and just do it as a cast.

0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:03.880
<v Speaker 2>And then we have a little cast and our director.

0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:06.880
<v Speaker 2>We have a little prayer, hands together, hands in pray,

0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:09.840
<v Speaker 2>We go out, have cast intros, and we tape that

0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:13.160
<v Speaker 2>show in front of a live studio audience. And usually

0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:16.440
<v Speaker 2>for us, Kevin Abbot's pretty that he keeps things running.

0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:19.920
<v Speaker 2>We usually do maybe two three takes per scene, sometimes

0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:22.160
<v Speaker 2>more if there's just a different something we need to

0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:25.040
<v Speaker 2>pick up, and we're usually we start at six o'clock

0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:26.920
<v Speaker 2>in front of the audience and we're usually done. We're

0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:29.760
<v Speaker 2>usually done by eight thirty or nine, and then maybe

0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:33.400
<v Speaker 2>you have a little glass of wine with the cast,

0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:35.640
<v Speaker 2>and then you go home and then you show up

0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:39.239
<v Speaker 2>the next day for your table read of next week's episode.

0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:42.080
<v Speaker 1>He just start all over again, start all over again.

0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:45.400
<v Speaker 3>Let's take a quick pause for a message from our sponsor,

0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:56.920
<v Speaker 3>and we're back on the Bobby Cast.

0:16:57.560 --> 0:16:59.360
<v Speaker 1>Is there ever a moment where you're in front of

0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:01.600
<v Speaker 1>the studio audience it's and a joke really doesn't hit

0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:04.520
<v Speaker 1>and then you just you rewrite the joke or do

0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:07.800
<v Speaker 1>you just repair it and like post.

0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:09.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, you find out right away. That's the beauty

0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:12.720
<v Speaker 2>of this medium, which is why I love multi caam

0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:16.200
<v Speaker 2>so much. It's the closest thing to live theater you've got.

0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:19.080
<v Speaker 2>So they'll tell you, oh, that didn't work, and our

0:17:19.119 --> 0:17:22.359
<v Speaker 2>writers usually will have a line for you. Sometimes the

0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:24.800
<v Speaker 2>actors will have a pitch. And that's again what's so

0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:27.800
<v Speaker 2>great about Kevin is that he lets us pitch stuff

0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:30.840
<v Speaker 2>or try stuff. I love it when that happens. I mean,

0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:32.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't love it when a joke doesn't land, but

0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:35.080
<v Speaker 2>I do love it when you get to try five

0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:37.280
<v Speaker 2>different jokes in front of that same audience and see

0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:39.480
<v Speaker 2>which one lands. But yeah, they let you know if

0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:41.560
<v Speaker 2>something works, and they'll let you know if it doesn't either,

0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:44.919
<v Speaker 2>And I love that part. But yeah, the writers are

0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:46.440
<v Speaker 2>usually there with another blow ready to.

0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Go with threeven, with Happy's Place. Those are shot very similarly,

0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:54.159
<v Speaker 1>But Young Sheldon was not. Is that just a different

0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:56.800
<v Speaker 1>mindset going into a show like that? Are you prepared differently?

0:17:57.720 --> 0:18:00.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because that's a single camera, so that's shot like

0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:05.080
<v Speaker 2>a movie, you know, so it's often you're not you know,

0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:06.920
<v Speaker 2>if you don't have a scene with an actor that day,

0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:09.360
<v Speaker 2>you might never see him, you know. Like the difference

0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:12.000
<v Speaker 2>between multiicam is you're with your cast all day usually

0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:15.639
<v Speaker 2>rehearsing and playing and playing around. So in single camp

0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:20.320
<v Speaker 2>it's a completely different mindset where you know, you you

0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:22.360
<v Speaker 2>know the writing is funny and there's a laugh there,

0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:24.399
<v Speaker 2>but you're not going to get that feedback from the

0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:28.199
<v Speaker 2>studio audience. I don't know my read is if you

0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:30.600
<v Speaker 2>see one of the gaffers or a camera guy, if

0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:33.920
<v Speaker 2>somebody maybe if you get a tiny little something, you're like,

0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:37.000
<v Speaker 2>all right, that worked. But yeah, it's as much smaller.

0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:40.120
<v Speaker 2>It's you know, it's everything's just a little bit smaller,

0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:44.679
<v Speaker 2>a little quieter, and you don't have to it's just

0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:47.760
<v Speaker 2>a different mind It is a different mindset.

0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:51.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, with happiest place and with Riba coming back and

0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:53.280
<v Speaker 1>you guys are all together again. How long ago did

0:18:53.320 --> 0:18:55.400
<v Speaker 1>this bubble up as an idea and did you think

0:18:55.440 --> 0:18:59.600
<v Speaker 1>it would manifest itself into like version two of you guys?

0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:06.080
<v Speaker 2>You know, after the Rebu show ended, immediately, I feel

0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:08.560
<v Speaker 2>like we knew we wanted to do something together again.

0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:12.719
<v Speaker 2>You know. She I think she made up jobs for

0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:14.400
<v Speaker 2>me sometimes just so we could hang out.

0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:14.600
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:16.679
<v Speaker 2>She took me on the road and I didn't stand up.

0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:19.120
<v Speaker 2>I opened for her and for her and Kelly Clarkson

0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:20.960
<v Speaker 2>then her and George Straight when they were on the road,

0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:23.639
<v Speaker 2>which was such a wonderful experience. But you know, we

0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:25.480
<v Speaker 2>were sort of always looking. It was sort of out

0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:27.960
<v Speaker 2>in the world and we'd love to, you know, some

0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:30.399
<v Speaker 2>time would pass. We'd love to do a project together

0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:33.520
<v Speaker 2>and some came and went. Some were like you know,

0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:36.040
<v Speaker 2>and the reboot was always sort of in that world too,

0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:38.840
<v Speaker 2>like could we get a reboot? And you know, that

0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:41.639
<v Speaker 2>never seemed to come to fruition, whether it was like

0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:44.200
<v Speaker 2>who owned the rights? Who was going to do this?

0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:48.160
<v Speaker 2>So that didn't come. And you know, you know Reba

0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:51.920
<v Speaker 2>and I always trust her because she's so great about

0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:55.439
<v Speaker 2>this business and she has such a great perspective of

0:19:55.600 --> 0:19:58.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, when the time is right, it'll happen when

0:19:58.240 --> 0:20:01.360
<v Speaker 2>the project's right, it's yours, don't if you don't lose

0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:03.199
<v Speaker 2>a job that wasn't yours to have, you know, So

0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:05.159
<v Speaker 2>she was very I just sort of trusted her that,

0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:08.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, it will come when it's supposed to. I mean,

0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:11.080
<v Speaker 2>I had no idea it would be this many years later,

0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:13.160
<v Speaker 2>but there were some ideas that were floated. They weren't

0:20:13.200 --> 0:20:16.359
<v Speaker 2>the right ones anyways. So Julie Abbott, Kevin Abbot's wife,

0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:18.760
<v Speaker 2>who is our original show runner the first show and

0:20:18.800 --> 0:20:21.280
<v Speaker 2>this show runner on Happiest Place, came to Kevin with

0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:24.680
<v Speaker 2>this idea about sisters, of someone finding out they didn't

0:20:24.680 --> 0:20:27.639
<v Speaker 2>have a sister. So Kevin took that and ran and

0:20:28.440 --> 0:20:31.680
<v Speaker 2>brought it to Reebe and I and we loved it.

0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:34.399
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't know how much sway my love happened,

0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:37.600
<v Speaker 2>but I loved it too. And and you know, we

0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:40.520
<v Speaker 2>sort of that's where it was born. It was Julie Abbot,

0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:44.119
<v Speaker 2>Kevin's Kevin's wife, who has been, you know, part of

0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:47.520
<v Speaker 2>We've all known each other for since the original Reader show.

0:20:48.400 --> 0:20:50.760
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, I had no idea. And even when that happens,

0:20:50.800 --> 0:20:53.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, even when that happens, yes, Kevin's going to

0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:57.040
<v Speaker 2>write this idea, Okay, great, Well that doesn't mean anything.

0:20:57.440 --> 0:20:59.400
<v Speaker 2>Well he's going to go pitch it. Great, that doesn't

0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:02.399
<v Speaker 2>mean anything. Tell someone buys it. Then someone does, and

0:21:02.400 --> 0:21:04.760
<v Speaker 2>then you make the pilot and then you know, you

0:21:04.840 --> 0:21:06.480
<v Speaker 2>don't know if that's going to get picked up. So

0:21:07.119 --> 0:21:09.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, another good thing that re was great about

0:21:09.480 --> 0:21:12.680
<v Speaker 2>is saying, you know, I'm excited, but I won't get excited. Yeah,

0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:15.480
<v Speaker 2>I'll get I'll get it as excited as need be

0:21:15.520 --> 0:21:18.320
<v Speaker 2>as every level is passed. So you sort of go, well,

0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:20.600
<v Speaker 2>that was great. That's one hurdle, and now we have

0:21:20.640 --> 0:21:23.359
<v Speaker 2>to get to that one. And here we are, you know,

0:21:23.440 --> 0:21:25.919
<v Speaker 2>here we are just in the middle of season two airing,

0:21:26.000 --> 0:21:29.919
<v Speaker 2>and and a pickup for season three, which is a

0:21:29.960 --> 0:21:32.639
<v Speaker 2>crazy sentence to say in this in this day and

0:21:32.680 --> 0:21:35.520
<v Speaker 2>age of you know where the industry's at and to

0:21:35.600 --> 0:21:38.879
<v Speaker 2>be working, and we are very grateful to be working

0:21:39.080 --> 0:21:40.000
<v Speaker 2>and doing what we love.

0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Your background is an improv When did you start doing

0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:45.560
<v Speaker 1>stand up? Like? What were you doing in high school?

0:21:46.960 --> 0:21:50.439
<v Speaker 2>High school, I was doing theater and some improv. Then

0:21:50.440 --> 0:21:52.720
<v Speaker 2>I went on to college and did got a theater degree,

0:21:52.880 --> 0:21:55.520
<v Speaker 2>and improv was part of my life there. And when

0:21:55.520 --> 0:21:58.920
<v Speaker 2>I graduated from college with a theater degree, I went

0:21:58.960 --> 0:22:01.640
<v Speaker 2>to Minneapolis, which is great theater town, and I did

0:22:02.040 --> 0:22:05.600
<v Speaker 2>improv at brand new workshop Dolly Riggs, which is very

0:22:05.640 --> 0:22:12.159
<v Speaker 2>similar to Second City, where you write five five or

0:22:12.400 --> 0:22:15.439
<v Speaker 2>five shows original shows a year and every night you

0:22:15.520 --> 0:22:18.399
<v Speaker 2>do improv with your with your cast. And then I

0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:21.040
<v Speaker 2>did Tony and Tina's wedding which was all improv, which

0:22:21.160 --> 0:22:25.639
<v Speaker 2>I did for I don't know how many performances in Minneapolis.

0:22:25.680 --> 0:22:29.879
<v Speaker 2>And then stand up where am I? I'm on a

0:22:29.960 --> 0:22:33.919
<v Speaker 2>tangent so many after college was doing improv, doing theater, uh,

0:22:34.119 --> 0:22:36.720
<v Speaker 2>and then it was a stand up really didn't come

0:22:36.800 --> 0:22:41.520
<v Speaker 2>into place until Rebus sort of gave me that chance

0:22:41.600 --> 0:22:43.439
<v Speaker 2>to do it. You know, I feel like, you know,

0:22:43.480 --> 0:22:46.120
<v Speaker 2>I would MC a lot of stuff, and in improv,

0:22:46.200 --> 0:22:48.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, you you learn to think on your feet.

0:22:48.920 --> 0:22:51.080
<v Speaker 2>I was always writing stuff too. Part of what we

0:22:51.119 --> 0:22:53.000
<v Speaker 2>did at where I was doing improv was you had

0:22:53.040 --> 0:22:56.440
<v Speaker 2>to write stuff all the time. And so she sort

0:22:56.440 --> 0:22:58.440
<v Speaker 2>of said after the Ribas show, said what you want

0:22:58.440 --> 0:22:59.879
<v Speaker 2>to do it? And I'm like, I say yes, and

0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:03.119
<v Speaker 2>you hang up and you go, oh my god, what did.

0:23:02.960 --> 0:23:04.800
<v Speaker 4>I I know I have to have twenty five minutes

0:23:04.840 --> 0:23:07.760
<v Speaker 4>and i'd have, you know, be ready to go and

0:23:08.480 --> 0:23:12.960
<v Speaker 4>sort of cut the luxury of a learning curve on

0:23:13.000 --> 0:23:15.440
<v Speaker 4>the road with her and Frankly and I know, you're

0:23:15.520 --> 0:23:17.080
<v Speaker 4>you're so good at it and you do it and

0:23:17.240 --> 0:23:18.400
<v Speaker 4>you have to do it all the time.

0:23:18.400 --> 0:23:23.240
<v Speaker 2>But there's nothing scarier to me. Improv does not terrify me.

0:23:23.760 --> 0:23:26.520
<v Speaker 2>Stand Up is to me the most terrifying of all

0:23:28.280 --> 0:23:31.440
<v Speaker 2>I'll wait all mediums at all, any sort of form

0:23:31.480 --> 0:23:34.159
<v Speaker 2>of The most terrifying form of entertaining ever is stand up.

0:23:34.800 --> 0:23:36.960
<v Speaker 1>When did you decide then from Minneapolis to move to

0:23:36.960 --> 0:23:39.679
<v Speaker 1>Los Angeles? What was it that triggered that I.

0:23:39.680 --> 0:23:41.240
<v Speaker 2>Always knew I was going to do it? I mean,

0:23:41.320 --> 0:23:45.159
<v Speaker 2>I felt I needed to try. I wanted to I

0:23:45.240 --> 0:23:47.000
<v Speaker 2>knew I was going to do. I sort of had

0:23:47.000 --> 0:23:50.240
<v Speaker 2>a New York or LA, but ultimately was LA. I

0:23:50.280 --> 0:23:52.639
<v Speaker 2>love TV. I wanted to be on a stickcom. I

0:23:52.640 --> 0:23:54.600
<v Speaker 2>wanted to make people laugh, and I thought LA was

0:23:54.600 --> 0:23:58.040
<v Speaker 2>a place to do it. So I knew as I

0:23:58.160 --> 0:24:01.359
<v Speaker 2>was doing improv and theater in Minneapolis, I was trying

0:24:01.400 --> 0:24:05.240
<v Speaker 2>to save money to move to LA. And within the

0:24:05.280 --> 0:24:07.720
<v Speaker 2>form of that improv troop, we came out to Los

0:24:07.800 --> 0:24:12.920
<v Speaker 2>Angeles to do a showcase at the HBO workspace, and

0:24:13.680 --> 0:24:17.080
<v Speaker 2>our improv troop did this showcase and I got some

0:24:18.280 --> 0:24:21.960
<v Speaker 2>interest in me there and some meetings were set up

0:24:21.960 --> 0:24:23.479
<v Speaker 2>and I was like, great, I have to go back

0:24:23.520 --> 0:24:26.560
<v Speaker 2>to Minnesota. I'm getting married. So I did that, married

0:24:26.640 --> 0:24:28.960
<v Speaker 2>John Brady, who was I did was doing improv with

0:24:28.960 --> 0:24:33.040
<v Speaker 2>Who's the Funniest Human, and got married to him and

0:24:33.800 --> 0:24:37.679
<v Speaker 2>put off those meetings, went to do Tony and Tina's

0:24:37.680 --> 0:24:40.080
<v Speaker 2>wedding in Baltimore to save up more money so I

0:24:40.080 --> 0:24:41.880
<v Speaker 2>could go we could go to LA. So we saved

0:24:41.920 --> 0:24:45.359
<v Speaker 2>up money, then went to LA and then followed up

0:24:45.359 --> 0:24:47.400
<v Speaker 2>on the people that wanted to have some meetings with

0:24:47.400 --> 0:24:49.479
<v Speaker 2>me there and then just started hitting the ground and

0:24:49.880 --> 0:24:53.080
<v Speaker 2>auditioning and trying to become an actor.

0:24:53.720 --> 0:24:57.120
<v Speaker 1>What was your first yes in La? Or in yeah?

0:24:57.200 --> 0:24:58.919
<v Speaker 1>In La? When you get to La, what is your

0:24:58.920 --> 0:24:59.400
<v Speaker 1>first yes?

0:25:00.040 --> 0:25:03.320
<v Speaker 2>I think it was a sketch show for Oxygen that

0:25:03.840 --> 0:25:05.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it ever aired, but it was really

0:25:05.840 --> 0:25:11.199
<v Speaker 2>funny and really funny people Maya, Rudolph Seth Rogan. I'm

0:25:11.200 --> 0:25:13.359
<v Speaker 2>trying to remember all of these. It was a sketch show,

0:25:13.680 --> 0:25:16.520
<v Speaker 2>and I maybe confusing two sketch shows that I was

0:25:16.560 --> 0:25:21.240
<v Speaker 2>casting called Running with Scissors, and that was my first yes,

0:25:21.280 --> 0:25:23.000
<v Speaker 2>and I knew that it was. It was really funny

0:25:23.000 --> 0:25:27.280
<v Speaker 2>people that are all working now, and that was my

0:25:27.320 --> 0:25:30.680
<v Speaker 2>first yes. And then it never aired. I don't know why.

0:25:30.840 --> 0:25:32.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know what happened to it, but I

0:25:32.320 --> 0:25:36.399
<v Speaker 2>know that it was really fun and yeah, that was

0:25:36.480 --> 0:25:38.720
<v Speaker 2>I guess. And then I got a keya commercial that

0:25:38.840 --> 0:25:45.159
<v Speaker 2>was another first yes. Oh my gosh, out guest spot

0:25:45.760 --> 0:25:47.000
<v Speaker 2>on just shoot me?

0:25:47.800 --> 0:25:49.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh nice? I love that show.

0:25:49.680 --> 0:25:51.800
<v Speaker 2>And I was living. I was sub letting at an

0:25:51.840 --> 0:25:54.879
<v Speaker 2>apartment right across the street called the Starlet And if

0:25:54.880 --> 0:25:56.879
<v Speaker 2>you're ever in La, you'll see it. It's still there.

0:25:57.520 --> 0:26:00.960
<v Speaker 2>And I was at we were where we still sub

0:26:01.080 --> 0:26:05.399
<v Speaker 2>wedding at this tiny apartment right across was Warner Brothers studio,

0:26:05.520 --> 0:26:07.400
<v Speaker 2>and you know, you could look out your little window

0:26:07.800 --> 0:26:10.000
<v Speaker 2>and you'd see, like, you know, like that's where they're

0:26:10.000 --> 0:26:15.439
<v Speaker 2>shooting friends. And I booked this guest spot on Just

0:26:15.480 --> 0:26:17.840
<v Speaker 2>Shoot Me and it was like one funny scene. I

0:26:17.840 --> 0:26:20.879
<v Speaker 2>think it was like the check and girl for somebody's

0:26:21.200 --> 0:26:26.320
<v Speaker 2>high school reunion. And I was terrified. I was so

0:26:26.359 --> 0:26:30.439
<v Speaker 2>excited to drive onto that lot and George Siegel, who

0:26:31.200 --> 0:26:33.680
<v Speaker 2>was so kind to me, and he was kind to

0:26:33.720 --> 0:26:35.520
<v Speaker 2>me twice in my career and in such a way

0:26:35.520 --> 0:26:37.320
<v Speaker 2>that I will never forget, and I hope it's what

0:26:37.359 --> 0:26:41.280
<v Speaker 2>I bring. I bring to every show I'm on. I

0:26:41.280 --> 0:26:43.000
<v Speaker 2>didn't even have a scene with him. I didn't have

0:26:43.000 --> 0:26:45.920
<v Speaker 2>a scene with him. I'm trying to remember who my

0:26:46.000 --> 0:26:49.520
<v Speaker 2>scene was with. I don't think it was David Spade.

0:26:51.320 --> 0:26:54.919
<v Speaker 2>Who was it. Anyway, everyone was very lovely. But he

0:26:54.920 --> 0:26:56.640
<v Speaker 2>made a point of walking up to me. He said,

0:26:56.680 --> 0:27:00.200
<v Speaker 2>is this your first like thing in la like front

0:27:00.200 --> 0:27:01.879
<v Speaker 2>of an audience, And they said yes, And he says,

0:27:02.160 --> 0:27:05.119
<v Speaker 2>you're really funny. Go out there and have fun tonight.

0:27:05.119 --> 0:27:07.960
<v Speaker 2>It's supposed to be fun. And he shook money and

0:27:07.960 --> 0:27:10.239
<v Speaker 2>he was so and I'll never forget that. And then

0:27:10.520 --> 0:27:13.200
<v Speaker 2>years later I did another show called Retired at thirty

0:27:13.240 --> 0:27:15.720
<v Speaker 2>five and he was on that show and I went

0:27:15.760 --> 0:27:18.520
<v Speaker 2>up to thank him, and I said, I was so terrified,

0:27:19.680 --> 0:27:22.040
<v Speaker 2>I was so nervous, and you were so nice to me,

0:27:22.080 --> 0:27:24.280
<v Speaker 2>and you and you reminded me that what we do

0:27:24.400 --> 0:27:26.879
<v Speaker 2>is really fun. And I was doing what I dreamed

0:27:26.880 --> 0:27:29.280
<v Speaker 2>of doing as a kid in Minnesota and it was

0:27:29.280 --> 0:27:31.639
<v Speaker 2>happening tonight. And it may have been a couple of lines,

0:27:31.680 --> 0:27:34.119
<v Speaker 2>but to have fun. And so I went up and

0:27:34.119 --> 0:27:36.160
<v Speaker 2>thanked him and he couldn't and I just said, I'll

0:27:36.200 --> 0:27:39.240
<v Speaker 2>never forget it. You just made that such a wonderful experience.

0:27:39.480 --> 0:27:40.960
<v Speaker 2>And he did the same thing for me on this show.

0:27:40.960 --> 0:27:43.280
<v Speaker 2>He just said, you were so funny, You're just and

0:27:43.400 --> 0:27:45.520
<v Speaker 2>he I don't know it. I'll never forget it.

0:27:46.640 --> 0:27:59.080
<v Speaker 5>The Bobby Cast will be right back. This is the

0:27:59.119 --> 0:27:59.840
<v Speaker 5>Bobby Cast.

0:28:00.880 --> 0:28:02.560
<v Speaker 1>When you were a kid, who did you look at

0:28:02.840 --> 0:28:05.359
<v Speaker 1>and either mimic or think I want to do something

0:28:05.440 --> 0:28:07.080
<v Speaker 1>like they do because they do it so well.

0:28:08.280 --> 0:28:17.280
<v Speaker 2>Carol Burnette, Gilda Radner, Catherine O'Hara, Andrew Martin. Those were

0:28:17.320 --> 0:28:21.600
<v Speaker 2>my kid ones. That I would watch Second SCTV. I

0:28:21.600 --> 0:28:25.080
<v Speaker 2>would watch that. I believe it was on PBS is

0:28:25.119 --> 0:28:27.320
<v Speaker 2>when that aired for me, and i'd watch it on

0:28:27.359 --> 0:28:30.000
<v Speaker 2>the phone with my friend Jenny Howell because we both

0:28:30.040 --> 0:28:33.320
<v Speaker 2>would laugh together watching se our Second City TV SETV,

0:28:33.520 --> 0:28:36.560
<v Speaker 2>which is where I saw Katherine O'Hara and Andrew Martin.

0:28:36.880 --> 0:28:38.680
<v Speaker 2>And then I would stay over at my aunt's house

0:28:38.720 --> 0:28:41.360
<v Speaker 2>on Saturday nights when my parents were like gone, and

0:28:41.480 --> 0:28:43.240
<v Speaker 2>they would let me stayup and watch Saturday Aight Live.

0:28:43.280 --> 0:28:48.160
<v Speaker 2>And I loved Gilda Radner. I loved Jane Curtin, I

0:28:48.280 --> 0:28:50.480
<v Speaker 2>just knew. But Carol Burnette was one that I could

0:28:50.560 --> 0:28:53.200
<v Speaker 2>watch all the time and just knew that I wanted.

0:28:53.680 --> 0:28:55.560
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know what. I just wanted to do that

0:28:55.880 --> 0:28:56.800
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to do that.

0:28:57.200 --> 0:28:58.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, so much of what we turn into is

0:28:58.720 --> 0:29:01.000
<v Speaker 1>because of things that works bose to and I think

0:29:01.200 --> 0:29:02.880
<v Speaker 1>I grew up in the South, so I didn't get

0:29:02.880 --> 0:29:05.280
<v Speaker 1>to watch any Canadian and there were so many funny

0:29:05.320 --> 0:29:07.680
<v Speaker 1>things that as I got older, I was like, man,

0:29:07.720 --> 0:29:10.680
<v Speaker 1>I really missed out because I had no influence on

0:29:10.720 --> 0:29:12.960
<v Speaker 1>me was Canadian. However, you lived in Minnesota, where you

0:29:13.040 --> 0:29:15.600
<v Speaker 1>actually got the best of America. And you got the

0:29:15.680 --> 0:29:19.800
<v Speaker 1>Canadian like the SETV like that feels pretty fortunate looking back, right.

0:29:20.560 --> 0:29:24.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, absolutely. And by the way, how many people,

0:29:24.880 --> 0:29:28.320
<v Speaker 2>how most of the funny people we know are Canadian? Yeah,

0:29:28.400 --> 0:29:33.640
<v Speaker 2>Martin Short, John Candy, I think about that entire our

0:29:34.080 --> 0:29:38.200
<v Speaker 2>SETV cast was just geniusly funny. And then Mike Myers, like,

0:29:38.200 --> 0:29:40.440
<v Speaker 2>I think about it. But I feel very grateful that

0:29:40.520 --> 0:29:41.840
<v Speaker 2>I got that. And I don't even know how I

0:29:41.920 --> 0:29:44.520
<v Speaker 2>found it. I just I just remember finding even this

0:29:44.600 --> 0:29:47.600
<v Speaker 2>is the funniest thing I've ever seen, and I love

0:29:47.600 --> 0:29:50.600
<v Speaker 2>it so much, and I'm really grateful that I saw it.

0:29:50.840 --> 0:29:53.880
<v Speaker 2>And I'm grateful that my parents let me sleep over

0:29:53.920 --> 0:29:57.280
<v Speaker 2>at my aunt EXCUSEI and Kathy's and be unsupervised and

0:29:57.440 --> 0:30:00.560
<v Speaker 2>watch stay up way too late to watch and listen.

0:30:00.680 --> 0:30:03.040
<v Speaker 2>And my aunts too. By the way, we're very instrumental

0:30:03.440 --> 0:30:06.680
<v Speaker 2>because they had Steve Martin comedy album and I would

0:30:06.720 --> 0:30:09.600
<v Speaker 2>listen to that, and I they exposed me to a

0:30:09.640 --> 0:30:12.160
<v Speaker 2>lot of things that I would probably not have found

0:30:12.160 --> 0:30:14.880
<v Speaker 2>on my own, you know. And yeah, we are a

0:30:14.880 --> 0:30:17.920
<v Speaker 2>product of that. So I feel really lucky about that.

0:30:18.360 --> 0:30:20.560
<v Speaker 1>Did you ever have dreams or did you ever audition

0:30:20.600 --> 0:30:22.200
<v Speaker 1>for USNL?

0:30:22.600 --> 0:30:26.400
<v Speaker 2>No, but I will say that when I was doing

0:30:26.560 --> 0:30:31.640
<v Speaker 2>this sketch show that we were shooting and Maya Rudolph,

0:30:31.800 --> 0:30:33.680
<v Speaker 2>I remember we were doing a sketch and I think

0:30:33.840 --> 0:30:36.800
<v Speaker 2>this was at the time that she was maybe about

0:30:36.800 --> 0:30:42.080
<v Speaker 2>to fly out for her an audition, or maybe it

0:30:42.120 --> 0:30:43.520
<v Speaker 2>was there a call, but I'm not sure, but I

0:30:43.560 --> 0:30:45.480
<v Speaker 2>remember that that was in the process. I remember sitting

0:30:45.480 --> 0:30:47.760
<v Speaker 2>across from her and just thinking how funny she was,

0:30:47.800 --> 0:30:50.800
<v Speaker 2>and she had said something like, well, you're going to

0:30:50.840 --> 0:30:52.400
<v Speaker 2>be auditioning soon, aren't you. And I was just like,

0:30:52.440 --> 0:30:56.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I thought who knew? And so no,

0:30:56.480 --> 0:30:58.720
<v Speaker 2>I never did. And then I remember about the time

0:30:58.760 --> 0:31:00.760
<v Speaker 2>that I had gotten maybe a few I believe, my

0:31:00.800 --> 0:31:03.720
<v Speaker 2>manager had said, you should get a tape together for

0:31:03.880 --> 0:31:06.000
<v Speaker 2>SNL that we can start sending in. And at that

0:31:06.040 --> 0:31:09.640
<v Speaker 2>point where we started thinking about that, I was maybe

0:31:10.720 --> 0:31:13.840
<v Speaker 2>in that sort of that window of time that that

0:31:13.880 --> 0:31:17.560
<v Speaker 2>would have been appropriate. I booked the sitcom, and once

0:31:17.560 --> 0:31:20.360
<v Speaker 2>you book a sitcom, you're no longer really they don't

0:31:20.400 --> 0:31:22.920
<v Speaker 2>really want to see you, I guess at that time.

0:31:23.600 --> 0:31:25.680
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I was one of those who knows, and

0:31:25.840 --> 0:31:28.080
<v Speaker 2>I ended up where I was supposed to. But yeah,

0:31:28.120 --> 0:31:31.160
<v Speaker 2>I dreamed of SNL is. I mean, I don't know

0:31:31.160 --> 0:31:33.800
<v Speaker 2>if you can see behind me, that's still like I, oh,

0:31:33.880 --> 0:31:37.200
<v Speaker 2>that didn't turn off. I still have that the album,

0:31:37.200 --> 0:31:39.280
<v Speaker 2>and I still listen to my guilda Radner like Live

0:31:39.320 --> 0:31:42.480
<v Speaker 2>in New York album. But you know, I'm not dead.

0:31:42.600 --> 0:31:44.800
<v Speaker 2>Maybe someday they let me do a walk on. I

0:31:44.840 --> 0:31:47.360
<v Speaker 2>work for NBC Universal. I mean, I'd be happy if

0:31:47.360 --> 0:31:50.160
<v Speaker 2>they let me just sit, you know, I'd be I

0:31:50.280 --> 0:31:54.280
<v Speaker 2>do anything. I just that show is huge to me.

0:31:54.360 --> 0:31:57.480
<v Speaker 2>And I still fight with people who go, oh, it's

0:31:57.520 --> 0:31:59.920
<v Speaker 2>not good anymore, or this wasn't good, or now this cast.

0:32:00.160 --> 0:32:03.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, no, no, no, no, it is always it's

0:32:03.240 --> 0:32:05.520
<v Speaker 2>always good because what they are doing. Yes, there's ebbs

0:32:05.560 --> 0:32:08.120
<v Speaker 2>and flows, there's casts that you might connect with more,

0:32:08.240 --> 0:32:11.840
<v Speaker 2>and there's maybe years that there was more sketches that

0:32:11.880 --> 0:32:14.360
<v Speaker 2>you remember. But the reality is it's always good because

0:32:14.400 --> 0:32:16.760
<v Speaker 2>what they're doing is they're doing a live show and

0:32:16.800 --> 0:32:21.160
<v Speaker 2>they're creating like this amazing, this amazing variety show every week.

0:32:21.240 --> 0:32:24.160
<v Speaker 2>And you real fans, don't. You don't leave them in

0:32:24.200 --> 0:32:26.600
<v Speaker 2>any year. You watch it every year all the time,

0:32:27.000 --> 0:32:30.000
<v Speaker 2>and I love it because I love watching just how

0:32:30.160 --> 0:32:32.360
<v Speaker 2>things change. But yet they stay the same, and I'm

0:32:32.360 --> 0:32:36.320
<v Speaker 2>loving like Ashley Padilla in newcast I think is brilliant.

0:32:36.400 --> 0:32:40.880
<v Speaker 2>So I still dream of SNL even though I realize

0:32:40.920 --> 0:32:42.800
<v Speaker 2>that train has probably left the building.

0:32:43.720 --> 0:32:45.880
<v Speaker 1>I often will do a thing where I'll go through

0:32:45.920 --> 0:32:49.480
<v Speaker 1>and try to try to guess what the most asked

0:32:49.560 --> 0:32:52.400
<v Speaker 1>question is to the people that I talk to, and

0:32:53.480 --> 0:32:56.000
<v Speaker 1>I never really want to jump into the most asked questions?

0:32:56.000 --> 0:32:58.120
<v Speaker 1>But can I try to predict your most asked question?

0:32:58.720 --> 0:32:58.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:32:59.560 --> 0:33:00.920
<v Speaker 1>Is it a hook? Her number two?

0:33:01.400 --> 0:33:01.600
<v Speaker 3>No?

0:33:02.040 --> 0:33:02.440
<v Speaker 1>It is it?

0:33:03.560 --> 0:33:03.760
<v Speaker 2>No?

0:33:04.400 --> 0:33:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So then I don't feel guilty asking it. So

0:33:07.200 --> 0:33:08.640
<v Speaker 1>I love Fargo I too.

0:33:08.840 --> 0:33:12.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean again, that was my first job out of college.

0:33:12.800 --> 0:33:19.840
<v Speaker 2>That was my first Yes, dang it. I need to

0:33:20.280 --> 0:33:22.440
<v Speaker 2>walk around with my mom or dad behind me, who

0:33:22.440 --> 0:33:25.680
<v Speaker 2>actually keep track of my career, Like, I have no idea.

0:33:25.920 --> 0:33:28.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm so bad at it. Tell me, Oh my gosh,

0:33:28.960 --> 0:33:33.200
<v Speaker 2>that's I was a kid. I was working at TJA Fridays.

0:33:33.240 --> 0:33:37.480
<v Speaker 2>I finished, I got my theater degree, and the Jane Brody,

0:33:37.520 --> 0:33:40.520
<v Speaker 2>an amazing casting casting agent who I believe is still

0:33:40.520 --> 0:33:43.520
<v Speaker 2>based in Chicago, came and taught a semester at my

0:33:43.600 --> 0:33:46.800
<v Speaker 2>college and I took her class. I think she was

0:33:46.840 --> 0:33:51.800
<v Speaker 2>teaching auditioning for film or maybe cold readings she took.

0:33:51.960 --> 0:33:54.360
<v Speaker 2>She was amazing. I took her classes. She liked me.

0:33:54.760 --> 0:33:58.320
<v Speaker 2>I graduate. She's in town in Minneapolis casting for Fargo,

0:33:59.640 --> 0:34:01.840
<v Speaker 2>and at first she hired me to run camera for

0:34:01.880 --> 0:34:04.440
<v Speaker 2>her too to earn some extra money, which was a

0:34:04.440 --> 0:34:07.240
<v Speaker 2>lovely skill to learn. I run camera for a few days,

0:34:07.280 --> 0:34:09.400
<v Speaker 2>but then she calls me into audition for the Coen

0:34:09.440 --> 0:34:13.080
<v Speaker 2>Brothers True story. I'm in the lobby. I want to

0:34:13.080 --> 0:34:16.800
<v Speaker 2>get a mountain dew before my audition. I don't have change.

0:34:17.239 --> 0:34:19.840
<v Speaker 2>I ask who I think is I don't know somebody

0:34:19.840 --> 0:34:22.480
<v Speaker 2>who works there. I asked for change for a dollar

0:34:23.239 --> 0:34:24.920
<v Speaker 2>so I can get a mountain dew. By the way,

0:34:24.960 --> 0:34:27.920
<v Speaker 2>all of those are poor decisions before an audition, drinking

0:34:27.960 --> 0:34:31.080
<v Speaker 2>a mountain dew. I don't know all of it. And

0:34:31.160 --> 0:34:33.120
<v Speaker 2>I get in the room and I had asked Joel

0:34:33.160 --> 0:34:37.880
<v Speaker 2>Cohen for change for the vending machine to get a

0:34:37.920 --> 0:34:42.200
<v Speaker 2>mountain two because I again this is pre social media.

0:34:42.640 --> 0:34:46.719
<v Speaker 2>I had seen, you know, raising Arizona. I knew who

0:34:46.760 --> 0:34:48.919
<v Speaker 2>the Coen Brothers were, but it wasn't like they had

0:34:48.960 --> 0:34:51.880
<v Speaker 2>like this, you know, hot instant like you know, I

0:34:51.880 --> 0:34:55.040
<v Speaker 2>didn't know what they actually looked like. So I go in,

0:34:55.080 --> 0:34:59.040
<v Speaker 2>I audition. I don't hear anything for quite some time,

0:34:59.680 --> 0:35:01.839
<v Speaker 2>and I think it's done and it's over. Because it's

0:35:01.840 --> 0:35:03.520
<v Speaker 2>a small town. You hear people that have been going

0:35:03.560 --> 0:35:07.040
<v Speaker 2>in for this big Cohen Brothers movie. I get called

0:35:07.080 --> 0:35:10.160
<v Speaker 2>back in maybe like I feel like it was a

0:35:10.200 --> 0:35:12.719
<v Speaker 2>month later. But again, don't trust me in any timeline,

0:35:12.960 --> 0:35:15.319
<v Speaker 2>because clearly I have no idea what I've done in

0:35:15.320 --> 0:35:18.319
<v Speaker 2>my life. I go back in, and this is for

0:35:18.560 --> 0:35:20.920
<v Speaker 2>hooker number. This is for the pair of hookers. And

0:35:20.920 --> 0:35:23.520
<v Speaker 2>when they start to match us up with other girls,

0:35:23.520 --> 0:35:25.440
<v Speaker 2>so I go in and read and I read with

0:35:25.440 --> 0:35:28.040
<v Speaker 2>a couple of different people, and then when they put

0:35:28.120 --> 0:35:31.960
<v Speaker 2>Larissa and I together, I felt like, oh this works.

0:35:32.200 --> 0:35:35.319
<v Speaker 2>It's that thing you know where like, oh, where this

0:35:35.360 --> 0:35:38.040
<v Speaker 2>is supposed to be. So once they paired us together

0:35:38.600 --> 0:35:41.319
<v Speaker 2>and we read this scene, I felt like, oh that

0:35:41.360 --> 0:35:43.440
<v Speaker 2>felt pretty good. That felt right. And then I leave

0:35:43.480 --> 0:35:45.440
<v Speaker 2>and I think I still don't think. I hear from

0:35:45.480 --> 0:35:48.759
<v Speaker 2>maybe another week that I got it. And then I

0:35:48.760 --> 0:35:52.439
<v Speaker 2>got it and I went in and my first day,

0:35:52.680 --> 0:35:56.400
<v Speaker 2>the first scene we shot was I believe this scene

0:35:56.400 --> 0:35:59.640
<v Speaker 2>where it's the oh yeah, we're at the scene with

0:35:59.680 --> 0:36:07.120
<v Speaker 2>France McDermott, which she's so was so even only in

0:36:07.200 --> 0:36:12.200
<v Speaker 2>hindsight when I realized how generous she was as an actor.

0:36:12.520 --> 0:36:15.080
<v Speaker 2>I just remember she treated Larissa and I both like

0:36:15.640 --> 0:36:19.279
<v Speaker 2>we were peers, which she we were. But in my head

0:36:19.360 --> 0:36:21.280
<v Speaker 2>I was just I was going I had to shift

0:36:21.280 --> 0:36:23.680
<v Speaker 2>at TJ. Friday's the next day, you know. And this

0:36:23.800 --> 0:36:26.600
<v Speaker 2>was Francis McDermott, who was well into her career but

0:36:26.680 --> 0:36:28.759
<v Speaker 2>also just such a brilliant actress. But she was so

0:36:30.400 --> 0:36:33.440
<v Speaker 2>kind and just I remember she I felt like we

0:36:33.440 --> 0:36:35.840
<v Speaker 2>were we were equals. We were equals in a scene,

0:36:36.239 --> 0:36:40.640
<v Speaker 2>which was just, in hindsight, a lovely gift to give

0:36:40.680 --> 0:36:44.080
<v Speaker 2>a really young new person who had no idea what

0:36:44.160 --> 0:36:48.080
<v Speaker 2>she was doing and who at the rat party at

0:36:48.120 --> 0:36:52.000
<v Speaker 2>the Bowling Alley asked William H. Macy what party was

0:36:52.040 --> 0:36:55.759
<v Speaker 2>in the movie because I hadn't I didn't know the

0:36:55.800 --> 0:36:59.759
<v Speaker 2>whole script. I mean, I just I asked. I asked

0:36:59.760 --> 0:37:03.120
<v Speaker 2>so many questions, and that in hindsight, I never would

0:37:03.160 --> 0:37:05.480
<v Speaker 2>have asked. I would have been too nervous to, Like

0:37:05.760 --> 0:37:07.759
<v Speaker 2>if I was doing a Coen Brothers movie today, I

0:37:07.800 --> 0:37:10.000
<v Speaker 2>would be nervous for I. But back then I'm like, hey,

0:37:10.000 --> 0:37:12.600
<v Speaker 2>Steve Bushmi, do you remember when you were mister pink?

0:37:12.640 --> 0:37:14.520
<v Speaker 2>I was like Chris Farley in that sketch. I was like,

0:37:14.520 --> 0:37:18.799
<v Speaker 2>remember when you were a goal? Like I was such

0:37:18.800 --> 0:37:22.160
<v Speaker 2>an idiot and Ethan Cohen people heard this story, but

0:37:22.200 --> 0:37:24.400
<v Speaker 2>true story. I just graduated. So I was living with

0:37:24.440 --> 0:37:27.680
<v Speaker 2>my parents while I saved money for my apartment and

0:37:27.760 --> 0:37:31.720
<v Speaker 2>Ethan Cohen called my house to talk about a scene

0:37:31.800 --> 0:37:34.960
<v Speaker 2>or something, and my mother answered and was screaming upstairs,

0:37:35.000 --> 0:37:38.080
<v Speaker 2>going Missy calling me Missy by the way, which I'm like,

0:37:38.280 --> 0:37:42.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm Melissa, I'm an actress, and Missy the phones for you,

0:37:42.719 --> 0:37:45.440
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like, who is it? And she said Ethan Cohen?

0:37:45.680 --> 0:37:48.759
<v Speaker 2>And I was mortified. Mortified.

0:37:49.239 --> 0:37:50.640
<v Speaker 1>So that was your first yes?

0:37:50.880 --> 0:37:52.120
<v Speaker 2>That was my first yes?

0:37:53.000 --> 0:37:54.239
<v Speaker 1>What was your last yes?

0:37:56.520 --> 0:38:00.680
<v Speaker 2>My last yes? Well, getting a saying yes to a

0:38:00.719 --> 0:38:03.799
<v Speaker 2>third season of Happiest Place, I guess that's that's a

0:38:03.880 --> 0:38:08.800
<v Speaker 2>giant yes in today's world where you know TV's changing

0:38:08.880 --> 0:38:10.840
<v Speaker 2>and I know so many people not working. That's it

0:38:11.080 --> 0:38:14.680
<v Speaker 2>feels like a really really big yes that we get

0:38:14.719 --> 0:38:15.920
<v Speaker 2>to do a season three.

0:38:16.280 --> 0:38:17.080
<v Speaker 1>Do you still cook?

0:38:18.280 --> 0:38:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Yeah?

0:38:19.520 --> 0:38:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh? So you with your reaction, you must still cook

0:38:22.120 --> 0:38:22.399
<v Speaker 1>a lot.

0:38:23.600 --> 0:38:25.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, I'm just my reaction is, why do

0:38:25.800 --> 0:38:27.000
<v Speaker 2>you think I have someone cooked for me?

0:38:27.239 --> 0:38:30.359
<v Speaker 1>Well, I know you from cooking on television a bit,

0:38:30.840 --> 0:38:33.479
<v Speaker 1>so I didn't know if you really did that a lot,

0:38:33.760 --> 0:38:35.040
<v Speaker 1>or if you're just good at it and you kind

0:38:35.040 --> 0:38:36.480
<v Speaker 1>of break it down occasionally for on camera.

0:38:37.160 --> 0:38:38.960
<v Speaker 2>No, I like to cook. I mean I don't cook

0:38:39.000 --> 0:38:41.440
<v Speaker 2>as I mean, my husband actually cooks a lot of

0:38:41.480 --> 0:38:44.200
<v Speaker 2>the stuff. But I do like to cook. I love

0:38:44.280 --> 0:38:47.560
<v Speaker 2>to like be able and our my son is twenty

0:38:48.000 --> 0:38:49.799
<v Speaker 2>and so he's moved out of the house. He's actually

0:38:49.840 --> 0:38:52.680
<v Speaker 2>in going to culinary school, so hopefully he'll cook for me.

0:38:53.800 --> 0:38:55.879
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I love to cook. I like to I'd rather,

0:38:56.400 --> 0:38:59.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, stay in and eat at home. Then I

0:38:59.120 --> 0:39:01.840
<v Speaker 2>don't want. I guess it's I like both. But I

0:39:01.880 --> 0:39:03.680
<v Speaker 2>do like to cook. Yeah, I like I like it

0:39:03.719 --> 0:39:05.360
<v Speaker 2>when I don't have to. I like it when I

0:39:05.360 --> 0:39:07.800
<v Speaker 2>can putter around and go, oh, I'm gonna make soup.

0:39:07.840 --> 0:39:10.080
<v Speaker 2>I love making things where I can just throw whatever

0:39:10.120 --> 0:39:12.160
<v Speaker 2>I have and see if it works, and it usually does.

0:39:12.400 --> 0:39:15.680
<v Speaker 1>Actually, what is your signature dish?

0:39:15.960 --> 0:39:21.960
<v Speaker 2>Hmmm? Oh wow, I make really good. This sounds like

0:39:22.000 --> 0:39:25.799
<v Speaker 2>a dumb one, but I make really good like I

0:39:25.840 --> 0:39:28.280
<v Speaker 2>can do like I make really good homemade like black

0:39:28.320 --> 0:39:30.160
<v Speaker 2>bean dip. I make really good soups. I make a

0:39:30.160 --> 0:39:32.520
<v Speaker 2>really good garden vegetable soup. I don't know if I

0:39:32.560 --> 0:39:36.400
<v Speaker 2>have a signature anymore. Oh, you know what this is

0:39:36.440 --> 0:39:39.000
<v Speaker 2>gonna make me very Midwestern. I can do a really

0:39:39.040 --> 0:39:42.399
<v Speaker 2>good hot dish. I can do a really good tater

0:39:42.480 --> 0:39:45.600
<v Speaker 2>tot hot dish. I'm really good at it. But as

0:39:45.680 --> 0:39:47.600
<v Speaker 2>far as like this, I don't know if I have

0:39:47.680 --> 0:39:50.799
<v Speaker 2>a signature. I mean, roast chicken, that's easy, But no,

0:39:50.880 --> 0:39:51.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't have a signature.

0:39:52.160 --> 0:39:54.399
<v Speaker 1>You got to talk me through a tater tot hot dish.

0:39:54.440 --> 0:39:55.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm from the South. I don't know what that means.

0:39:55.920 --> 0:39:57.680
<v Speaker 1>I know what tater tots are, but what's a hot dish?

0:39:58.040 --> 0:39:58.560
<v Speaker 1>Tater tot?

0:39:59.080 --> 0:40:03.040
<v Speaker 2>You'd call it casserole, right, yeah, you know it's the

0:40:03.080 --> 0:40:06.680
<v Speaker 2>same thing. It's where you take ground meat of any kind,

0:40:06.840 --> 0:40:10.640
<v Speaker 2>maybe a creama mushroom, soup, some green beans, some onions, whatever.

0:40:10.920 --> 0:40:13.200
<v Speaker 2>You mix that up. Maybe you put some cheese in it.

0:40:13.200 --> 0:40:16.040
<v Speaker 2>There's a debate between the cheese and it hot dish sometimes,

0:40:16.640 --> 0:40:19.719
<v Speaker 2>and then you would layer tater tots on top, so

0:40:19.760 --> 0:40:24.560
<v Speaker 2>ours would be ground beef, brown ground beef cream and

0:40:24.640 --> 0:40:27.600
<v Speaker 2>mushroom soup green beans. I like to go. I like

0:40:27.640 --> 0:40:32.479
<v Speaker 2>to sass it up with some onions, maybe some real

0:40:32.560 --> 0:40:35.560
<v Speaker 2>mushrooms in it. Then you put that line tatertops on time,

0:40:35.640 --> 0:40:37.399
<v Speaker 2>build it, bake it, and you've got a hot dish.

0:40:38.160 --> 0:40:42.719
<v Speaker 1>So hot dishes is Midwestern? Do people often think you're

0:40:42.760 --> 0:40:43.280
<v Speaker 1>from the South?

0:40:44.360 --> 0:40:44.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:40:44.880 --> 0:40:46.880
<v Speaker 1>I did. It's funny until I started researching you.

0:40:48.440 --> 0:40:52.480
<v Speaker 2>I just met somebody actually yesterday somewhere that was like, so, wait,

0:40:52.520 --> 0:40:55.400
<v Speaker 2>you weren't from Texas. I'm like, no, I just I

0:40:55.440 --> 0:40:57.759
<v Speaker 2>did my barber Gane. I just did it. So I

0:40:57.760 --> 0:41:01.320
<v Speaker 2>think there's something like vibe wise that's very similar. I

0:41:01.400 --> 0:41:04.880
<v Speaker 2>think Midwest and South has a similar vibe that I

0:41:04.920 --> 0:41:07.719
<v Speaker 2>think connects people in a way where we like to

0:41:07.800 --> 0:41:10.760
<v Speaker 2>hang out with our friends and family, we like to eat,

0:41:10.880 --> 0:41:14.319
<v Speaker 2>we like to you know, we like our neighbors, we

0:41:14.440 --> 0:41:16.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, I don't know. I think there's a little

0:41:16.440 --> 0:41:18.799
<v Speaker 2>more of a laid back vibe that I connect with

0:41:18.920 --> 0:41:20.360
<v Speaker 2>people from the South. Maybe.

0:41:20.760 --> 0:41:23.640
<v Speaker 1>Well, congratulations on getting renewed for a third season again,

0:41:23.680 --> 0:41:25.560
<v Speaker 1>that is such a big deal. I bet it's so

0:41:25.640 --> 0:41:28.040
<v Speaker 1>fun to do Happy's Place because it's new.

0:41:28.160 --> 0:41:30.160
<v Speaker 2>People don't come out to a lot, you need to

0:41:30.200 --> 0:41:35.640
<v Speaker 2>come to a taping or be on it. Yeah, I

0:41:35.920 --> 0:41:38.480
<v Speaker 2>guess that was not the reaction I was hoping for.

0:41:38.719 --> 0:41:42.719
<v Speaker 1>Well, I just been Hollywood is so and I'm not

0:41:42.760 --> 0:41:45.799
<v Speaker 1>comparing you to this, but everybody in anytime I do

0:41:45.840 --> 0:41:47.799

<v Speaker 1>in the room. And I walk out and I never

0:42:01.080 --> 0:42:03.920
<v Speaker 1>hear from anybody, And so, you know, I just have

0:42:04.000 --> 0:42:06.560
<v Speaker 1>that association with anyone in Hollywood that's like you should

0:42:06.560 --> 0:42:08.279
<v Speaker 1>do this, and I just should react like this, Oh

0:42:10.400 --> 0:42:13.680

0:42:48.520 --> 0:42:52.200
<v Speaker 2>but you should fair enough. But I get it. I

0:42:52.360 --> 0:42:53.839
<v Speaker 2>know you know what. I bet you hear that all

0:42:53.920 --> 0:42:55.839
<v Speaker 2>the time. Because you are so good at what you do.

0:42:56.120 --> 0:42:58.600
<v Speaker 2>You have this massive following. You can do many things.

0:42:58.760 --> 0:43:00.759
<v Speaker 2>You wear a lot of different hats. People say things

0:43:00.920 --> 0:43:02.120
<v Speaker 2>and it never comes true.

0:43:03.040 --> 0:43:05.000
<v Speaker 1>I should have reacted better, had that thing too.

0:43:04.840 --> 0:43:08.520
<v Speaker 2>Of like when people that all of these things don't

0:43:08.560 --> 0:43:10.520
<v Speaker 2>pay my rent, I.

0:43:10.480 --> 0:43:12.359
<v Speaker 1>Should have reacted to that better. I apologize.

0:43:12.440 --> 0:43:15.040
<v Speaker 2>I might, No, I no, I love that. This is

0:43:15.120 --> 0:43:18.280
<v Speaker 2>the best, most perfect reaction you should get to anybody

0:43:18.280 --> 0:43:21.040
<v Speaker 2>in Hollywood who says you should or you know what,

0:43:21.280 --> 0:43:23.640
<v Speaker 2>come out here. I've got something for you. Don't don't

0:43:23.640 --> 0:43:25.839
<v Speaker 2>believe them, because you know what, I didn't come till

0:43:25.880 --> 0:43:27.640
<v Speaker 2>i'd saved up a lot of money on my own

0:43:27.680 --> 0:43:29.600
<v Speaker 2>to pay my own rent, and I knew I could

0:43:29.600 --> 0:43:30.399
<v Speaker 2>try to make it here.

0:43:31.080 --> 0:43:34.040
<v Speaker 1>Well, congratulations again. I really love it for you guys.

0:43:34.200 --> 0:43:37.720
<v Speaker 1>I love it Forrieba. I love Reba obviously. She She's

0:43:37.760 --> 0:43:39.560
<v Speaker 1>been so kind to me over the years. And it's

0:43:39.560 --> 0:43:41.320
<v Speaker 1>so cool that you guys are real life friends. I

0:43:41.360 --> 0:43:44.120
<v Speaker 1>think that's cool because a lot of people are work

0:43:44.160 --> 0:43:46.160
<v Speaker 1>friends or we've done stuff together, but you guys are

0:43:46.160 --> 0:43:48.440
<v Speaker 1>like real life friends. And I love to work with

0:43:48.480 --> 0:43:50.239
<v Speaker 1>my real life friends, So that's got to be super

0:43:50.239 --> 0:43:51.040
<v Speaker 1>cool to be able to do that.

0:43:51.680 --> 0:43:54.400
<v Speaker 2>It is and people can tell it translates into the

0:43:54.400 --> 0:43:57.480
<v Speaker 2>final product. You know. People they maybe don't know what

0:43:57.520 --> 0:43:59.319
<v Speaker 2>it is or put the able to put their finger

0:43:59.360 --> 0:44:00.960
<v Speaker 2>on it, but they can tell when there's chemistry and

0:44:01.000 --> 0:44:04.920
<v Speaker 2>there's real friendship there. And yeah, and we have a

0:44:04.960 --> 0:44:07.040
<v Speaker 2>shorthand we don't have to explain stuff to each other

0:44:07.120 --> 0:44:09.000
<v Speaker 2>because we already know what.

0:44:08.840 --> 0:44:11.239
<v Speaker 1>Does Reba like to work with professionally?

0:44:13.200 --> 0:44:17.000
<v Speaker 2>She's a great example. You know, she is prepared, She

0:44:17.040 --> 0:44:21.240
<v Speaker 2>treats everybody with respect, and she likes to have fun.

0:44:21.640 --> 0:44:23.640
<v Speaker 2>You know, she doesn't need to do this right now,

0:44:23.719 --> 0:44:25.719
<v Speaker 2>and she wants to do it because she really she

0:44:25.800 --> 0:44:28.399
<v Speaker 2>loves it. She has so much fun, you know, Reeba,

0:44:28.480 --> 0:44:31.600
<v Speaker 2>She's lovely and she makes sure like my favorite. The

0:44:31.680 --> 0:44:34.760
<v Speaker 2>goal is that anybody who leaves that set, they walks away,

0:44:34.800 --> 0:44:38.360
<v Speaker 2>they walk away saying I had a great time, people

0:44:38.640 --> 0:44:41.359
<v Speaker 2>treated me great and I want to come back. And

0:44:41.400 --> 0:44:43.879
<v Speaker 2>she does that, and it's you know, it's really fun

0:44:43.920 --> 0:44:46.400
<v Speaker 2>watching her and Rex together. You would think that you

0:44:46.440 --> 0:44:49.000
<v Speaker 2>would get tired of, you know, seeing how much in

0:44:49.040 --> 0:44:51.000
<v Speaker 2>love they are and how cute they are, but I'm

0:44:51.040 --> 0:44:55.080
<v Speaker 2>not yet. And they really are quite fun together. And

0:44:55.280 --> 0:44:57.560
<v Speaker 2>he's great because I don't know how much time you've

0:44:57.560 --> 0:45:02.120
<v Speaker 2>spent with rexlnd, but he is such an actor's actor,

0:45:02.800 --> 0:45:05.080
<v Speaker 2>and he loves what he does so much, and he

0:45:05.120 --> 0:45:09.560
<v Speaker 2>loves to rehearse and he makes us all better, I think,

0:45:09.680 --> 0:45:14.759
<v Speaker 2>because he really respects that process so and he's he's

0:45:14.800 --> 0:45:17.799
<v Speaker 2>got stories you need. He's fun to talk to. He's

0:45:17.800 --> 0:45:19.040
<v Speaker 2>been doing this for a long time.
