1
Have you ever done a look in the camera?
2
No. Have I?
3
You might have.
4
I might have.
5
It'll come to me in about two days.
6
How many movies have you forgotten about?
7
Oh, endless.
8
Hi, Jennifer Aniston.
9
Hi, you went to Brooklyn.
10
Hi.
11
Hi, my comedy queen.
12
Oh, you have taken the title, my darling.
13
Oh, that's very sweet, but you know how I feel about you.
14
I know.
15
You're so sweet.
16
I've told you time and time again.
17
You kind of really broke my heart into a thousand pieces and made me blush and weep and all.
18
That was a very sweet moment. When?
19
When we saw you.
20
I saw you recently at, where were we?
21
One of those many things.
22
Oh, I know what it was, the CAA.
23
Yes, upstairs.
24
Yeah, upstairs.
25
And because you are, you're just that girl.
26
an icon you are but we're here to talk about us us and your dramatic performances
27
how'd that happen because i think when you're comedy legend
28
and baddie i do think that you transfer over to drama very well
29
which you do as alex in the morning show thank you honey and
30
you got to do so many cool things as alex this season first of all you're just it's a badass
31
She's pretty fun to play.
32
She's really cool.
33
Yeah.
34
She suffers no fools.
35
No. You got to make out with Jonathan Hamm.
36
Jon Hamm, yes.
37
That's big, tall drink of water.
38
Big, tall fella.
39
Yes.
40
Also, like, jumping out of his comedy bag into his drama, but he does that.
41
He just bounces.
42
He's another one who can just sort of slip in and out of this and that and whatever you just say,
43
here, Jon, that's what you got.
44
And he's like, got it?
45
Yeah.
46
You save the company as Alex, and everyone wants to tear you down.
47
Yeah, they do.
48
What was the most exciting thing for you?
49
What did you look forward to the most playing Alex this season?
50
Oh, boy.
51
There was a lot.
52
Well, Jon Hamm, getting to work with Jon, because we've been friends for so many years.
53
And so when this character came to be, all I could see was Jon Hamm.
54
And everybody else, all they could see is Jon Hamm and to have this man come in as this billionaire tech guy.
55
It was exciting to sort of explore that side of Alex in that more feminine, romantic world.
56
Since the end of season two, COVID, near death experience and kind of coming out of that world of like,
57
you know, F it, I'm gonna go live a little bit and not be so perfectly quaffed Alex.
58
So it was a little bit, there was a little bit of rebellion and that's sort of what the Alex Unfiltered show is.
59
And here she is falling for this man who comes into the company, and of course everyone's like, what is this guy all about?
60
And bringing up for everybody, who am I?
61
It brought a lot of stuff up for each character.
62
What do they stand for morally?
63
And then I had to kind of come to my own, which was fun to have to play that,
64
you know, you're a female and you're falling for this person.
65
And then all of a sudden you're like, I'm a journalist and my journalistic integrity is at play here and have to make that crucial decision.
66
Yeah.
67
I like watching that.
68
There was a lot of fun twists and turns and the sort of theme of the show, who can you trust?
69
One of my favorite moments with you and Jon Hamm was at Coney Island and this man berates Alex
70
and you just take it and you have to explain to him who's a man and a billionaire man.
71
Because he's like, what's up with this guy?
72
You just take this and you're like, yeah, I do.
73
And I don't know, something in me, like the Quinta Brunson that I am in my life, really related to that.
74
What we have to sort of take.
75
Yeah, and you just have to.
76
And you just sort of swallow it.
77
And yeah, you're right, the instinct of a man, it's like chivalry is not dead, to defend a woman who's standing next to him.
78
And it's like, don't waste your time.
79
Just don't waste your time.
80
And your character knowing that Coney Island worker was caring so much that had nothing to do with you,
81
It was just a moment that I guess I felt seen.
82
I don't feel seen that often, but I felt very seen by that.
83
Oh, I love that.
84
Yeah, it was nice to see.
85
Whatever they can't say to their girlfriends or their wives, I'm the punching bag.
86
It's okay.
87
It's part of the job.
88
We call ourselves house cats because we very rarely leave our lot.
89
Warner Brothers, yeah?
90
Yeah, Warner Brothers.
91
I love the story of where you started, that you guys started in actual schools.
92
Yeah.
93
And then all of a sudden here you are in Warner, on the Warner Brothers lot.
94
The Warner Brothers lot.
95
And my school facade is right across from.
96
the friend's couch, so that's just a really nice thing
97
that we get to see and remind us why we love comedy so much.
98
Right?
99
Yeah.
100
I do miss it.
101
And I say, watching your show, I feel so comforted.
102
There's something about it that just feels safe and cozy.
103
Every character is so hilarious.
104
Like, equally, there's not one person that's the standout.
105
That's the beauty of this ensemble.
106
Yeah.
107
And you just feel for everybody, and you laugh at everybody, and you love everybody and it's just like,
108
I mean, you've also done more in 10 years than most of us have done in a long career.
109
I mean, really.
110
Yeah.
111
To see where you're sitting today.
112
Yeah, it is.
113
How did you kind of wrap your head around, this is a pilot coming from that BuzzFeed.
114
Yeah, yeah.
115
Who knew that that was a thing, right?
116
And then all of a sudden.
117
Well, even when I first started working at BuzzFeed or
118
when I first started using the internet as a stage
119
because I really look at it as this other stage that got opened up to us.
120
I was doing improv, I was doing standup, I was doing, you know.
121
You started at Second City?
122
I did.
123
Yeah, I started at Second City.
124
Chicago, just taking intensive classes and taking acting classes at Temple.
125
But, you know, even when I was at BuzzFeed, my goal was to one day make a sitcom and one day act in a sitcom.
126
I just found a new stage through the internet and I didn't even know what BuzzFeed was capable of fully.
127
How did you find that?
128
How did you, I mean, how does that happen?
129
I was doing standup with a friend Justin Tan, and he's now a writer on Abbott, and we're writing a movie together now,
130
really excited, but he was working at BuzzFeed, and you know, for us, it was just a nine to five.
131
And he brought me in to be in a video he was producing because we were broke, and he was like doing me,
132
like $250 and be in this video really quickly.
133
I said yes.
134
And then I went there and saw what they were capable of doing.
135
I just saw that I could probably, you know, get my feet wet as far as making something similar to a sitcom.
136
Yeah.
137
Serial content, having an audience, promising the same thing.
138
Sure.
139
Over and over.
140
And yeah, that's kind of how I got.
141
I mainly needed a job.
142
Right.
143
Which is usually how we all start, right?
144
We all start doing this.
145
I just needed a job.
146
Yeah, I just needed a job.
147
Was Abbott Elementary the first sitcom?
148
I mean, obviously, I'm sure not.
149
But was it your first?
150
I sold a pilot to CBS, and I sold a pilot to HBO Max.
151
Neither of those went, but Abbott was the one that I...
152
If Abbott didn't get picked up, I was going to move back home.
153
Wow.
154
Janine Teegs from the district.
155
Do you think you can give us like 10 minutes so we can put you in every classroom?
156
For the kids, I got all the time in the world.
157
As long as it's wrapped up in 10 minutes, I got to get to practice.
158
Thank you.
159
I just want you to know.
160
Yes.
161
I learned about the beauty of an ensemble.
162
Yes.
163
Through watching Friends.
164
Well, you just gave me goosebumps.
165
You know.
166
Well, watching your show, that's why I think I love watching your show
167
because I feel that joy of watching an ensemble and I know the fun that is happening with all of you guys.
168
And you really do all seem to have a really beautiful relationship and chemistry is just perfection.
169
Yeah, so did you all.
170
Did you want to do a live audience or you didn't have a preference?
171
I'm not a multicam.
172
I think the rhythm of multicams has changed so much since you did it.
173
And studying your show, I think what made it so stand out was you found a rhythm.
174
It wasn't exactly the natural multicam rhythm.
175
It was so quick you guys, yeah, people are clapping and laughing, but you guys aren't waiting for the clap or laugh,
176
or it doesn't feel that way to the viewer.
177
And I think multicams just have a different rhythm now.
178
I'd be so curious about that.
179
Yeah, I mean.
180
Lisa Kudrow, by the way, hated when the audience laughed.
181
She did.
182
She'd be like, are you still?
183
Can we get to the next?
184
I'm not done.
185
Yeah.
186
It's not that funny.
187
And you guys operated like a play.
188
It felt like you watch a play when you watch that show.
189
To me, those are the best multicams when you just feel like you're watching a play
190
and your laughter isn't interrupting the flow of the series, but who knows?
191
Maybe one day I'll do a multicam.
192
I think you and I could do one together.
193
Hello.
194
Because it was a pretty nice experience and we can bring it back to whatever maybe we want.
195
I mean, listen, it was also so days of yore.
196
Yeah.
197
Who knows the cameras must look completely different.
198
They're real intense.
199
They're just like little alien creatures.
200
Mm -hmm.
201
Not how they were back in the day.
202
I think you guys got a nice sheen.
203
Now they're just like...
204
Yeah.
205
Right, and I don't really need that.
206
We actually had on our cameras, this started to happen like ninth or 10th season,
207
all of a sudden these big lights came on the top of the cameras and we were like, what are these?
208
And we'd always say, oh, these are the friends are old light.
209
I feel like I remember that change because nine and 10, well, it got like shinier.
210
It got very shiny.
211
Just kind of brightened us up a little bit.
212
You got off the plane.
213
Speaking of cast and the chemistry, when you started the casting process of Abbott Elementary, was that something that you couldn't wait?
214
Like you had all the characters in your head.
215
Yeah.
216
You knew them so well.
217
Yes.
218
And what was that process like?
219
That was so cool.
220
I started with Tyler Dames -Williams, who's my co -star.
221
That's fantastic.
222
He's so good.
223
I'd worked with him previously,
224
and I just knew we had a good chemistry and a good rhythm and I knew that comedically we complimented each other.
225
Which I think was more important to me than anything.
226
I know that you pretty much mastered the will they want, I know that's important for that, but just like you and David Schwimmer,
227
it was like, I wanna know that this person - Right, right, right.
228
I was thinking, did you kind of have previous sitcom sort of characters like that other than Ross and Rachel?
229
I would definitely say cheers.
230
Yes!
231
But I don't know if Sam and Diane were as funny as you guys, you two are funny on your own.
232
And I think that's what was so inspiring to me, that you really stood on your own as a comedic character.
233
And as I've berated you with compliments in the past, like you're just so funny.
234
And then David Schwimmer is his own funny entity.
235
And I thought that's what was most important for this ensemble comedy.
236
I think it changes from thing to thing, but we have no real straight man in our show.
237
And that's another thing that I plucked right from, I would say
238
Friends and Martin.
239
Those were my two shows that I used as a nice, I just, everyone's funny and that's what I wanted.
240
Was it hard to fill, I mean to find, I mean was there one character that was obviously, you know, that was a tough,
241
we can't find my, mm -mm, I can't find.
242
Barbara was hard, who wound up being Cheryl Lee Ralph because there was a lot of components that I wanted.
243
And the funny thing about Cheryl, Cheryl didn't know she was funny, but she made me laugh, which was enough for me.
244
That's kind of funny.
245
She's so funny.
246
And then Lisa Ann Walter, who you've worked with, and Bruce Almighty.
247
Which is amazing.
248
That's awesome.
249
You know when you see someone and you're like, I know where, you're also afraid to say, do I know you?
250
And they're like, well, we work together.
251
Right.
252
Or no, you've just seen me, I've seen her on TV.
253
Yeah, yeah.
254
It was like, I know I've known her from somewhere.
255
That was my depression movie, by the way.
256
It was?
257
When I was really depressed and I couldn't change the channel, because I was so depressed I couldn't change the channel.
258
I just had a DVD of Bruce Almighty that I watched on, repeat while I smoked out of my body.
259
I have just been shoved down your throat for really a long time.
260
I grew up with you.
261
You don't look like I grew up with you, but I grew up with you.
262
But her character was tough.
263
She was tough.
264
But once she auditioned, I said, we're actually done.
265
I don't want to see anybody else.
266
Need her, need her yesterday.
267
So that one was a tough one.
268
You do casting too.
269
And you're stacked.
270
I was watching this season like Tig Notaro.
271
I mean.
272
What?
273
That was, that's also the fun part of being involved and having such a glorious sort of team of producers.
274
It's such a collaboration and we work so well together.
275
Yeah.
276
So the casting process is just sort of a fun, what's your dream idea?
277
I know.
278
Right?
279
So John was our dream for Paul and Tig was our dream for,
280
I'm gonna forget the character she plays because I have no memory of the character's name.
281
Amanda.
282
Amanda.
283
Yeah, Amanda.
284
I think so.
285
Oh, sorry, because she's such a dry, brilliant.
286
I loved it, I loved Tig.
287
I mean, she popped up.
288
I loved it, it was so great.
289
And that's sort of what's fun about your show too, is that you have these people calling and saying,
290
I would like to be on your show.
291
Yeah.
292
And then you get to sort of, you're the creator, you're the writer, so you get to kind of come up with it.
293
Greta Lee, Nicole Beharie, Karen Pittman.
294
That's a big three for me.
295
Those are big threes.
296
There wasn't a moment that I wasn't captivated by an actor on the screen.
297
And that was new for me because I'm not a big drama watcher,
298
but it's just all of these women who I think are incredible actresses in addition to you and Reese.
299
And Nicole Bahari, I mean, the scene with her and Holland Taylor.
300
Oh, my God.
301
You know, you sort of think of certain scenes over the season that really sort of just blew.
302
You couldn't take your...
303
To watch her and Holland play that very, you know, intense and ride that line, walk that line, rather.
304
Just fantastic.
305
So beautiful to watch.
306
That was fantastic television.
307
I was on the edge of my seat.
308
Yeah.
309
You know what's crazy?
310
I had already seen the clips show up online.
311
And it still felt different watching it in the moment.
312
I knew what was going to happen.
313
Yeah.
314
but they're such good actresses that I was glued to my seat.
315
Just incredible stuff.
316
Did you get to have a part in casting them?
317
We do.
318
And then it also, it's for our head writer, show runner.
319
Yeah.
320
For her, she has to sort of, cause these are her characters.
321
Yeah.
322
So she sort of has to put pictures next to the cast that's existing and just she feels out.
323
Yeah, it's true.
324
Is this energy gonna work together?
325
Does this make sense to see, you know, Nicole next to Nestor.
326
You're right, she's really good at that.
327
That's something that I like to get better at as a creator, showrunner, always, you know, it's hard, but you guys have time.
328
And in network TV, it just feels like there's not as much time.
329
Yeah.
330
Well, and we're lucky this season because we're getting a head start on it.
331
So we do have a little more time.
332
Yeah.
333
But it is the fun of it, is being able to sort of put the right ingredients together and just see what makes magic.
334
Hey, there you are.
335
Hi, here I am. Are you okay?
336
Yeah, just processing everything that's about to happen.
337
I'm just curious, when you are producing this, do you come in with ideas as a producer of what you want for Alex
338
or what you want for Bradley or any of the characters?
339
Well, yes.
340
I mean, we all sort of start, you know, we start at the top of the season usually months before, and Charlotte Stout, our head writer,
341
showrunner, will give us the idea of the arc, the big picture.
342
Like the theme, you know, who can you trust was last year's thing.
343
And then we will sort of digest the big picture
344
and then we'll come in and ask some questions
345
and give some ideas and suggestions and then she'll sort of sit with all of
346
that and then she writes out a more specific outline
347
and then we'll each sort of give our thoughts and notes on what we think.
348
But we're so blessed with incredible, with Charlotte Stout and our writers.
349
It's just, you just wait to see what, what we've just now, we're sitting there getting the pitches for, you know, the episodes.
350
And we're just like, you're on the edge of your seat.
351
Yeah, and what they do isn't easy.
352
I mean, it's so timely.
353
Yeah.
354
And with your shooting schedule, you know, when something comes out versus when you start again.
355
And I think you guys do a really good job.
356
I thought the flashback to January 6th was a smart idea to stay current, but also, you know, be present in the new season.
357
I thought that was really cool.
358
It's tough.
359
Yeah.
360
It was tough for Reese.
361
Yeah, that was wild.
362
It was scary.
363
You know, even though these are actors and background actors, it's still, that is to be in that environment.
364
And it was all so realistic.
365
Yeah, what was that set?
366
It was somewhere downtown.
367
I was like, are they in the Capitol?
368
You would think, right?
369
I don't know, it's Apple.
370
I thought Apple money.
371
I thought you guys paid the president.
372
You would think, did you hear that, Apple?
373
I was. Because that.
374
We're at the fourth camera.
375
Can I ask a question I've wanted to ask you my whole life?
376
Yes.
377
Your subtlety as a comedic actress and dramatic actress is something that I think the girls, the girls, if you will,
378
have tried to emulate for a long time.
379
It's inspired me and my acting where I just want to be able to carry as much as you do without doing,
380
you know, like you carry so much in your face.
381
You know, people are like, I'm scared, oh no. I feel like you've always been so subtle.
382
And so do you, is that just from your birth?
383
Or did you, is that something you learned how to do?
384
Imagine if I came out of my, going like, hey, ba -dum -bum, hi guys, I'm here.
385
And that's what you do, you never ba -dum -bum.
386
You are so subtle.
387
It's like...
388
The comedy that I really respond to is comedy that is coming out of the truth of a situation.
389
Yep.
390
Where it's not showy and hitting the joke, right?
391
Or, you know, hitting that punchline.
392
Jim Burroughs, who was our director for the first few...
393
Half of the first season, he kind of really set a tone for us.
394
Yeah.
395
The way he would direct was incredible, because he wouldn't even watch the actors.
396
He would just...
397
He would have his hands behind his back, head down, he would just pace back and forth and listen to the rhythms.
398
Yes, that's what I like to do.
399
And then if he knew that something wasn't going, he'd go cut right before the punchline, so you would never ruin the punchline for the audience.
400
Love that.
401
Jimmy was always about, I need you to take it down, be more like, let's get to the truth of this.
402
Yeah.
403
No, we're just telling a story.
404
Yeah.
405
And what's funny is how absolutely freaking ridiculous this situation is.
406
Yeah.
407
Like Phoebe finding a thumb in a Coke case.
408
Or, you know, that's what I'm drawn to, is just comedy that comes out of...
409
I also had really funny parents.
410
Yeah.
411
You know what I mean?
412
They made me laugh and who knows what they were doing. But...
413
Are you an only child?
414
Well, I have a half -brother.
415
Okay, is he older?
416
First marriage, yeah.
417
Cool.
418
My mom's first marriage.
419
So you're the youngest.
420
That's what I was looking for.
421
I'm the baby.
422
Yeah, you're the baby.
423
Me too.
424
Yeah.
425
I've talked a lot about this with other babies and how you absorb everything from the olders, you know, the older siblings,
426
the older parents, and then it makes you hyper, like, subtle.
427
How many siblings do you have?
428
I have four.
429
Whoa!
430
I'm the baby of five.
431
Baby of five?
432
Baby of five, old parents.
433
What happens with the order? or is it the first baby is?
434
The oldest baby, he's the big baby.
435
He can get away with anything.
436
Okay, so we still call him a big baby.
437
Yeah, but me the youngest, no, I feel like I had a lot of pressure,
438
but I think that all my siblings poured their comedy into me.
439
Like they were fans of so many of the 90s comedies
440
that were on and they would let me stay up late with them and watch them.
441
But then my parents were fans of The Andy Griffith Show and The Brady Bunch, comedies that were on when they were younger.
442
My mom loved the show called - Mary Tyler Moore.
443
She loved the show called The Real McCoys, which was an old black and white show.
444
I remember that.
445
My mom used to have me watching that, so I got like decades of comedy packed into me.
446
Yeah, which I think has a lot to do with.
447
Which I love so much because so many younger, successful actors, you know, entertainers,
448
don't have an awareness of where this sort of all began, like the history of - The Craft.
449
Watching those shows, I just really got - Same.
450
Inspired by those.
451
Same.
452
They were, even though they were doing multicams, the newest versions of them, Mary Tyler Moore was very subtle, very confident.
453
As an actress, she wasn't flailing all over the place.
454
And even that had its risk.
455
You know, Lucille Ball was doing the bigger acting, but there was this subtle.
456
But somehow it didn't, was it?
457
It wasn't just like, ooh.
458
It wasn't.
459
Yeah.
460
One, two, three, eight.
461
Oh my, my, my.
462
So in season three, what made you decide for Janine to kind of take the job out and leave her students?
463
Yeah, I wanted Janine to have a lot of growth really fast.
464
We only had 14 episodes this season because of the strike.
465
Normally, we would have had 22.
466
Yep.
467
And I just was anxious to grow this character up a bit.
468
I think, you know, we had so far done 13 plus 22, 35 episodes of television.
469
And I felt that with the 22, we had really, we had done Janine doing the same thing, which is fun.
470
And I think it's a part of comedy.
471
You want to see those characters do the same thing, kind of make the same mistakes.
472
You know, it's a part of their character and what makes them special.
473
But I just, with Janine, because she wound up being more important to more people than I anticipated.
474
You mean your audience?
475
Yeah.
476
Interesting.
477
Yeah, I mean, I think that's something that happens when you are making a show with a predominantly black cast.
478
The cast is still serving as representation for so many people, not even just black people, but any marginalized group that hasn't seen themselves portrayed
479
and you know originally I would go in
480
and go oh well you know Rachel was able to do this
481
or like Leslie Knope was able to do this
482
or Liz Lemon was able to do this
483
but Janine started to carry a lot of weight in a way those other characters had a freedom
484
that Janine didn't did not
485
that was something we learned in season two where her fun antics
486
and silliness have real like consequences for the audience where I was like,
487
okay, so how do we balance who she is
488
as a comedic character and give her a little bit of growth
489
and she also steps into a position where she can really make a difference.
490
Where she can really make a difference.
491
Yeah.
492
That's on a bigger.
493
Right.
494
And that's our goal for her.
495
Yes.
496
So I figured why not start painting that picture a little bit for her instead of the continuous,
497
I wanna make change, I can't, I wanna make change.
498
What happens when she actually can?
499
And I felt like if at the end of the season we write ourselves into a corner, so be it.
500
But we didn't and I'm excited for how much she's grown in this time and now it's been, you know, she's back at Abbott,
501
but she's there with a newfound understanding of who she is, which I think wound up being important for lots of young girls to see.
502
And I have a hard time trying to figure out what my responsibility is.
503
Sometimes I don't want any responsibility.
504
I brought you just want to tell your story.
505
I just want to tell my, and sometimes I don't want my characters to have any responsibility.
506
I know.
507
But, you know, sometimes.
508
It just comes with it.
509
It just comes with it.
510
I mean, the amount of teachers that approach you.
511
Yes.
512
And what do they say?
513
I mean, they must talk about being seen.
514
I know.
515
And believe it or not.
516
And understanding the struggles that they all go through where they're like, yes, it's hard to get anything done.
517
Yeah, and believe it or not, I didn't anticipate that.
518
I remember we had our first screening for Abbott, the pilot for a bunch of teachers from LAUSD.
519
And I was like, oh, it hit me for the first time that teachers were gonna see it.
520
Yeah.
521
I was like, oh man, oh.
522
So what if they hate it?
523
That's kind of crazy.
524
Am I doing, am I representing correctly?
525
That was the first time I talked about,
526
I even thought about representing them after the pilot was already done and the season was already being written.
527
And fortunately, these teachers loved it.
528
And that became a newfound responsibility for us to carry.
529
We didn't ask for it, we being me, the producers, the actors, the writers room, but it was thrust upon us.
530
And it is always a balance of how do we carry this, but make sure we're just doing the comedy,
531
which is what I think is most important.
532
And your team of writers is like, okay, here's the job.
533
This is what the assignment is.
534
And you all are able to sort of, there's a sort of gel that takes place amongst you all.
535
Yes.
536
That just sort of - Yes.
537
And I - That allows that to happen.
538
Yeah, and I think in even hiring our writers, we have the exact same writers room as the first season, which is amazing.
539
That's incredible.
540
Nobody wants to leave this job.
541
That's incredible.
542
It's really nice.
543
All of us.
544
That says so much.
545
Yeah, and all the people I hired in the hiring process,
546
I remember, I didn't want people who thought it was funny to laugh at or make fun of teachers,
547
but people who understood the importance of laughing with these characters.
548
And that wound up becoming so important for making TV that winds up representing teachers.
549
And it has such a beautiful balance of funny and heartbreak
550
and real and what you're fighting for and the obstacles that you come up against.
551
How did you, so the tone, right?
552
Yes.
553
Right?
554
So tone is a big deal for creating a show and picking that director that's gonna come on because that vision,
555
because you're the storyteller.
556
So you have to then find that director that comes in and you say,
557
here's my baby and I need to know how you are going to basically show this story, tell this story.
558
Similar to like the writing process, I really wanted a director who got what we were doing.
559
I didn't really wanna spend a lot of time explaining what we were doing.
560
And Randall Einhorn, who directed our pilot and is an executive producer, and he directs like probably half the episodes a year.
561
Oh, he does?
562
He does.
563
Each season so far?
564
Each season.
565
He is an EP and fantastic director.
566
He just got it.
567
He read the script and he understood the warmth of it, the color of it.
568
He was the first person to say, yeah, this can't look like
569
The Office because that was fluorescent lighting, because that was a corporate place going through economic downturn.
570
He was like, I can't look like
571
Parks and Rec because that was a little bit too sunny and optimistic.
572
This is a public school in Philadelphia.
573
There's a warmth to it that's a bit sunny yet grimy.
574
Yeah.
575
That really, he pointed that out immediately and I just went, you get this show.
576
Oh.
577
He had come from a documentary, so he understood that because that was very important to have a director who actually got the style.
578
Yeah.
579
Because although I wrote it as a mockumentary, I had never worked on one.
580
And it's a totally different directing style.
581
Which I love the mockumentary.
582
It's really cool.
583
You know, I can't front her, I love it.
584
I eat it up every time.
585
I just love when the eyes just kind of come into camera.
586
It's like - Have you ever done a look in the camera situation?
587
No. Have I?
588
You might have.
589
I might have.
590
It'll come to me in about two days.
591
How many movies have you forgotten about?
592
Oh, endless.
593
Oh, that was my other question.
594
Improv.
595
Like how much do you guys get to sort of just play off of, you know, let a moment kind of have its moment?
596
Have its moment?
597
You know, we try to give everybody a real tight script that's important to us, so we do that.
598
And the actors have told us multiple times they don't feel the need to do it because it's all on the page.
599
Sure.
600
That being said, when they do take it upon themselves to riff,
601
it's incredible and knocks me off my feet because they know their characters so well.
602
Chris Perfetti, who plays Jacob on my show,
603
constantly blows my mind with the choices he makes after he finishes the line and finishes the amount of takes where he's,
604
you know, we're like, Chris, you try one.
605
Yeah, yeah.
606
And he knows his character so well that it's just incredible.
607
Janelle James, who plays Ava, is just probably one of the funniest people I've ever been around.
608
Just funny.
609
She can't even help it.
610
But she knows her character so well that it's not just Janelle James talking, it's Ava talking when she chooses to riff.
611
So sometimes we just let her go.
612
And then do you just get giggles?
613
How often do you guys break?
614
I break all the time.
615
All the, right.
616
Because I'm already watching the show.
617
I'm already in editing while we're in the scene.
618
So I'm just laughing.
619
I'm useless.
620
Everybody else is pretty good.
621
Oh, God.
622
I can only imagine.
623
Yeah, there's multiple takes where they just had to cut me out because I'm just sitting there like.
624
I love it.
625
Like you're in the scene.
626
And that tone, by the way, was set.
627
Your production designer, all of it is just beautiful.
628
No one ever talks about the production designer.
629
I need to shout out to Michael Whetstone.
630
Yeah.
631
He is incredible.
632
And I feel like he doesn't get enough credit because it is a school and it's mundane.
633
Yeah.
634
But I often feel like the mundane is harder to do.
635
I think it's easier to make like a spaceship and you know, yeah, throw some silver on it.
636
Sure.
637
But to get the fine cracks, the age cracks.
638
The little details.
639
The little teeny details.
640
The little teeny details.
641
The way he ages the desks in Barbara's room versus Janine's is incredible because Barbara's been teaching there for a long time.
642
Janine's fairly new.
643
So doing different aging, and he gets so intense about his job.
644
We, our outside set is now concrete.
645
And he's like, this is concrete.
646
And he talks to me like a dad.
647
And you know you don't care what your dad is talking about when he's talking about like plywood and stuff.
648
I don't care about that.
649
But Michael loves it so much.
650
And you know, any person walking across that concrete wouldn't know how much love went into it.
651
It goes into that.
652
Yeah.
653
See, that's what's so beautiful about a cast and a crew.
654
Yeah.
655
Every single human being on that set provides a service that is absolutely essential for every single piece of that production.
656
Yeah.
657
There ain't no star.
658
There isn't any, you know, it's not, it is a collaboration of every single artist down to the PAs that stay until Yeah.
659
You're there before you get there, and you're there way after you leave.
660
You know, I thought we beat cigarettes with the truth campaign.
661
It's just so retro.
662
Well, maybe they're getting cool again.
663
I mean, clogs are back.
664
Anything's possible.
665
Yes, but yes, but there are some cool clogs.
666
Will you ask Jen Quinta what it's like to watch Friends now?
667
Oh, God, don't make me cry.
668
I won't.
669
Don't make, we won't make each other cry.
670
OK.
671
Well, you're already crying.
672
Do you want a minute?
673
We don't have to talk about.
674
No, no, sorry, I just started thinking about.
675
I know.
676
Yeah.
677
Are you sure?
678
We don't have to really.
679
No, I'm OK.
680
It's a happy tears.
681
Yeah.
682
Thank you, honey.
683
OK.
684
OK. And we're back.
685
OK. So.
686
Yes.
687
Jen.
688
Yes.
689
Friends is turning 30.
690
And I'm turning 30.
691
And you are turning 30.
692
This is so.
693
Isn't that wild?
694
It's so crazy.
695
When you were a baby on that show, you were so advanced.
696
Wasn't I?
697
Your fine motor skills were insane.
698
I was an old soul.
699
You were an old soul.
700
Crazy, 30.
701
It is crazy.
702
It is wild.
703
And that show premiered, I was five, and it continues to be one of the best shows on television.
704
It's so strange to even think that it's 30 years old, because it actually just, I remember the day that it was going to premiere,
705
and we were here, you know, on television, on NBC.
706
And me and Lisa were, no, me and Matthew Perry were having lunch somewhere, and we knew Lisa was getting her hair colored,
707
so we ran into the hair salon, and I snuck up, and she was in the sink,
708
the hair bowl, and I took the nozzle and just started, like, washing her hair from the guy that was supposed to be doing it,
709
and it definitely flew out of control, and that was unfortunate.
710
But the excitement we had, and it feels like yesterday.
711
just feels, and so the fact that it's had this long, wonderful life and it's still meaning, you know, means a lot to people,
712
is one of the greatest gifts I think all five of us, all six of us ever, we never could imagine.
713
We see each other, I talked to FaceTime at court last night for like an hour and Lisa and the boys,
714
and we just have a really, it's a family forever. For sure.
715
Being a part of an ensemble like that, I mean, I'm part of one now only three years and those people are, you know, they're family.
716
Yes.
717
They're family.
718
They become family.
719
You spend all that time on set with someone and, you know, press and also going through, I can't even imagine because that was the 90s,
720
which is probably different, but a phenomenon like you guys did with each other.
721
There's also, there's excitement bonding, there's trauma bonding, there's all this bonding that happens in there.
722
You know Tyler is probably one of the closest people to me in my life.
723
Yeah all because of this little show so
724
Because you just say was in the 90s and in early,
725
you know 2000s and it was a we had a luxury of there not being social media or the internet.
726
So we were so isolated and kind of protected.
727
You weren't faced with weird, what people are commenting and ripping you apart or whatever.
728
I dream, I dream.
729
It was a dreamy time.
730
And I know I sound sort of nostalgic, but we were really about the work.
731
We really were about the show.
732
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
733
We weren't like, oh, you're awesome.
734
You're the best.
735
So and so sucks.
736
This is who's the worst and you're the best.
737
It was just, it was a really innocent time where we could roam about the world a lot easier.
738
And it was, so we were really able to kind of, even though it became a big thing,
739
couple, like a year into what I guess it was, or we then were able to be together and support when it was like,
740
wow, this thing is kind of becoming a bigger thing.
741
But again, there wasn't phones.
742
It's not like hundreds of screens telling you what it is.
743
I wish we could go back.
744
Well, we can.
745
Time machine.
746
I'm trying to get people to go back.
747
I can't, I'm so, the phones, the socials, and the medias.
748
I know.
749
It's gotta have a little, we've gotta put some, I mean, of course, listen to me, some legislation around, I mean, something.
750
Kids shouldn't be using phones until they're at least 16.
751
You can't drive a car until you're 16.
752
You shouldn't be on, that's more dangerous.
753
Yeah.
754
You protect your kids in the world.
755
Yeah.
756
You gotta protect them from the internet.
757
It is for sure all of that.
758
And just in our world, I think it's affected how people have engaged with television and film.
759
And, you know, sometimes that breaks my heart.
760
I long for the days.
761
I'm like, man, I wish I could have been a showrunner, an actor back then when it wasn't.
762
We're a part of your thing.
763
We're a part.
764
We're going to tell you what you're doing because we know you're at and we know you're a handle.
765
And it's just jarring.
766
We're shaping your show about what the algorithm is
767
and what you need to have more of and what you need to have less of.
768
We never had to speak to any of that.
769
It was more what, the fans loving it?
770
That's all that mattered.
771
Yeah, and now you have to really create that vacuum.
772
With Abbott, I had a strict no social media policy for the first season.
773
I said, I don't care what social media is asking us to do.
774
We have to do what we, the writers, want to do.
775
I know these characters.
776
This is our world.
777
I like to think of making TV like a writer writing a book,
778
beginning, middle, and end, and then you get it after the book is written.
779
And I try to look at TV that way
780
because it makes me feel like I'm at least doing a semblance of what you're talking about.
781
You are, though, but you really are.
782
That's why I say there's such a comfort in watching it and also being with these characters.
783
And I think it's such a beautiful thing that you do that.
784
You set that for yourself that's sort of a beautiful boundary because otherwise you'll get you'll lose your original
785
creation yeah it's a success because of you and you alone
786
and that i mean and you're of course your entire but
787
that brain child that came out of your smart beautiful head thank you this has been
788
the dream of my life as you can tell i i just admire you i'm
789
so excited for what you do next
790
and i think you're a really really lovely person oh bless
791
so are you honey and while we're here i'm I'm gonna say, I'm gonna put my hat in the ring like all the other actors do,
792
because if Bradley Cooper can do it.
793
If you find a moment on Abbott that you can see a moment for this one, I'd love to come play with you.
794
Okay.
795
Okay.
796
Sweet.
797
I'm gonna be okay.
798
Thank you.

การออกเสียงที่ควรระวัง
ผู้พูดใช้รูปย่อและรูปลดเสียง 215 ครั้ง เช่น you're, I'm, don't ให้พูดแบบสั้นตามที่ได้ยิน
- เสียง “th”: rhythm /ˈɹɪð.əm/, warmth /wɔɹmθ/, throat /ˈθɹoʊt/, ninth /naɪnθ/, algorithm /ˈælɡəɹɪðm̩/
- เสียง “sh” และ “zh”: collaboration /kəˌlæbəˈɹeɪʃən/, wash /wɑʃ/, luxury /ˈlʌk.ʃə.ɹi/, representation /ˌɹɛp.ɹə.zɛnˈteɪ.ʃən/, crucial /ˈkɹuː.ʃəl/
- คำยาว — ลงเสียงหนักให้ถูกพยางค์: collaboration /kəˌlæbəˈɹeɪʃən/, ridiculous /ɹɪˈdɪk.jə.ləs/, representation /ˌɹɛp.ɹə.zɛnˈteɪ.ʃən/, documentary /ˌdɒk.jʊˈmɛn.tɹi/, hilarious /hɪˈlɛə.ɹi.əs/
เสียงที่คนไทยมักออกเสียงยาก:
- เสียงท้ายคำ — ออกเสียงให้ครบ ไม่เปลี่ยนเป็นตัวสะกดแบบไทย: actress /ˈæk.tɹɪs/, subtle /ˈsʌtəl/, ensemble /ˌɑnˈsɑm.bəl/, intense /ɪnˈtɛns/, curious /ˈkjʊɹ.i.əs/
- /v/ — ไม่ใช่ /w/ ให้ฟันบนแตะริมฝีปากล่าง: versus /ˈvɝsəs/, vacuum /ˈvæ.kjuːm/, intensive /ɪnˈtɛnsɪv/, improv /ˈɪmpɹɑv/
- /z/ — เสียงก้อง ไม่ใช่ /s/: designer /dɪˈzaɪnɚ/, upstairs /ˌʌpˈstɛɹz/, representation /ˌɹɛp.ɹə.zɛnˈteɪ.ʃən/, cheers /t͡ʃɪəz/
วิธีฝึกกับวิดีโอนี้
- ฟังวิดีโอให้จบหนึ่งรอบโดยยังไม่ต้องพูด แล้วจดคำที่ยังไม่รู้จัก
- เริ่มที่ความเร็ว 0.75× พูดตามทีละประโยค แล้วกลับไปใช้ความเร็วปกติเมื่อเริ่มคล่อง
- อัดเสียงตัวเองแล้วเทียบกับต้นฉบับ โดยสังเกตคำอย่าง actress, rhythm, producer เป็นพิเศษ
