But then I do feel like then I have to get back online at 8 p.m.

when the kids go to bed.

But there are certain things that are my non-negotiables that I want to be there for.

I would be there every morning at 9.30 after I took you to school.

You always drove carpool.

Yes.

And then I would be home by 5.30, maybe 6, except for Thursday and Friday nights.

Friday nights were very late.

Yes, because we shot the show that night.

You would get home at like 2 or later, right?

I know.

I know.

And you'd be up sometimes, and we'd watch TV movies.

At 2 a.m.?

No, more at like midnight.

Wow.

Well, I always loved that you would have...

either my fake Aunt Bea or my uncle, who I called Zoo, stay over and then I would make French toast with Bea in the morning and then you would sort of come out after you'd, you know, been up all night basically.

Were there any things that you wish you'd done differently or any times that you had to sort of push back on the studio or the show about when you could be available?

There were physical demands of the show that you couldn't change.
