00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.100
<v Max>I am so sorry.</v>

2
00:00:02.656 --> 00:00:03.489
Kat?

3
00:00:03.489 --> 00:00:04.322
<v ->Max?</v>

4
00:00:04.322 --> 00:00:05.155
(Max laughs)

5
00:00:05.155 --> 00:00:05.988
No way!

6
00:00:05.988 --> 00:00:07.119
Hot Max?

7
00:00:07.119 --> 00:00:08.610
(canned laughter)

8
00:00:08.610 --> 00:00:09.750
That was meant for you.

9
00:00:09.750 --> 00:00:11.990
<v ->What attracted me to this role</v>

10
00:00:11.990 --> 00:00:13.907
at first was just Mayim,

11
00:00:13.907 --> 00:00:16.380
I've been a fan of hers for so long.

12
00:00:16.380 --> 00:00:19.360
I just- I love her as a person,

13
00:00:19.360 --> 00:00:21.750
but as an actress and a comedian,

14
00:00:21.750 --> 00:00:24.780
she's just got all the stuff.

15
00:00:24.780 --> 00:00:27.640
She's got all the colors, the pratfalls,

16
00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:29.323
but also the serious stuff.

17
00:00:30.556 --> 00:00:34.930
And I've been wanting to do a situation comedy

18
00:00:34.930 --> 00:00:36.539
for a long time, a multi cam,

19
00:00:36.539 --> 00:00:39.110
because it's the closest to theater

20
00:00:39.110 --> 00:00:41.060
in terms of television,

21
00:00:41.060 --> 00:00:43.300
and I've tried

22
00:00:43.300 --> 00:00:44.350
for nine years

23
00:00:44.350 --> 00:00:47.010
to get on a show that would run.

24
00:00:47.010 --> 00:00:50.780
And, yeah, when this came, I just-

25
00:00:50.780 --> 00:00:52.820
at first, honestly,

26
00:00:52.820 --> 00:00:55.097
I saw the breakdown and it said,

27
00:00:55.097 --> 00:00:58.480
"Kat: my (indistinct) love interest."

28
00:00:58.480 --> 00:00:59.313
And I was like,

29
00:00:59.313 --> 00:01:00.146
"I mean, I'd love to do that,

30
00:01:00.146 --> 00:01:01.800
but I don't think they're going to cast me in that."

31
00:01:01.800 --> 00:01:03.727
So I was like,

32
00:01:03.727 --> 00:01:04.560
"Eh,"

33
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:05.393
and my manager was like,

34
00:01:05.393 --> 00:01:08.077
"Read it and get into it, cause it's so funny.

35
00:01:08.077 --> 00:01:10.850
"It's based on this BBC show."

36
00:01:10.850 --> 00:01:13.120
I watched Miranda Hart's show

37
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:14.417
and then I read the script and I was like,

38
00:01:14.417 --> 00:01:17.110
"Okay, I have to make this happen."

39
00:01:17.110 --> 00:01:18.260
Um, yeah.

40
00:01:18.260 --> 00:01:21.300
So, after a few tests and a few reads with Miyam,

41
00:01:21.300 --> 00:01:22.810
it was really kind of clear

42
00:01:22.810 --> 00:01:25.453
that we had something special between us.

43
00:01:26.605 --> 00:01:27.520
And Leslie,

44
00:01:27.520 --> 00:01:29.450
I've known for 10 years.

45
00:01:29.450 --> 00:01:30.860
<v Interviewer>I was going to ask, yeah.</v>

46
00:01:30.860 --> 00:01:32.840
<v ->I mean, we worked on American Horror Story</v>

47
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:34.100
together a couple years,

48
00:01:34.100 --> 00:01:35.010
but also just,

49
00:01:35.010 --> 00:01:37.570
we were both sober people,

50
00:01:37.570 --> 00:01:39.940
so we know each other in that world.

51
00:01:39.940 --> 00:01:42.560
And it's just, this is like-

52
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:45.947
he's the only person that 2020 was the best year for.

53
00:01:45.947 --> 00:01:46.979
(Cheyenne and interviewer laugh)

54
00:01:46.979 --> 00:01:48.143
<v Interviewer>So true.</v>

55
00:01:48.143 --> 00:01:49.887
<v ->He's like, crushing it.</v>

56
00:01:49.887 --> 00:01:52.623
And it's so fun to watch him at 65.

57
00:01:53.700 --> 00:01:56.320
Just everybody wants a piece of him,

58
00:01:56.320 --> 00:01:57.978
and he's just so,

59
00:01:57.978 --> 00:01:59.320
it's so sweet

60
00:01:59.320 --> 00:02:01.380
to be witness to it

61
00:02:01.380 --> 00:02:04.120
and he's so beautiful and wonderful.

62
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:07.270
And Swoosie Kurtz, four time Tony nominated,

63
00:02:07.270 --> 00:02:09.630
two time Tony winning, Swoosie Kurtz.

64
00:02:09.630 --> 00:02:10.944
I'm reading her book right now too.

65
00:02:10.944 --> 00:02:12.280
<v Interviewer>Oh, my gosh, cool!</v>

66
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:13.534
<v ->It's a little weird because I'm doing--</v>

67
00:02:13.534 --> 00:02:15.910
<v Interviewer>Right.</v>

68
00:02:15.910 --> 00:02:17.190
<v ->And Kyla Pratt and Julian,</v>

69
00:02:17.190 --> 00:02:19.090
I mean, I'm telling you, it's just-

70
00:02:19.090 --> 00:02:21.780
I hope people like it as much as we like doing it

71
00:02:21.780 --> 00:02:24.430
because it feels like something special.

72
00:02:24.430 --> 00:02:25.263
Yeah.
