What does that what does that do?
We've talked a lot about the self-reflective nature of your work, and you've spent a lot of this first part of your career making your own stuff, telling your stories. But now you're also in other people's projects much more prominently. Is there something freeing about that?
You know, it struck me in thinking both about the projects you've created and and the projects you've chosen to be a part of, that they're really group projects in a lot of ways. You know, Jesse Armstrong, Yorgos Lanthimos, who directed Poor Things, are really known for their emphasis on ensemble casts. And the way you talk about your work seems really similar.
I'm curious, first, if that impression seems right to you. And if so, can you just talk a little bit about why that kind of communal creative work appeals to you so much?
We didn't actually talk about this, but one of the collaborators you just mentioned on Number One Happy Family USA is Mona Chalabi, who I actually know is a journalist. She's a data journalist. I mean, she's won a Pulitzer, Illustrator, but she's also an executive producer on the show.
She takes very complicated ideas and she manages to make them entertaining and digestible and understandable to regular people. How do you feel like her journalism background shows up in the series at all?
I'm glad you mentioned the music because you wrote a lot of these songs also. Why did you have these big animated musical numbers? Have you written music before? I mean, like, tell me how this came about.
I love Spies in the Mosque.

I'm Lulu Garcia Navarro, and this is The Interview from The New York Times.
Well, you interviewed him and it was a fair interview, a tough interview, but you opened it by saying, you know, that he was a friend. You said, I've been really dismayed by the amount of pile on that he's been suffering. And I've been outraged by the unfairness of the media's coverage of the allegations. And that's a direct quote.
And so, you know, I'm, I'm curious what you're doing in that interview because you're setting up the interview with, in a particular kind of way that perhaps it wouldn't be set up in the mainstream media.
Do you see yourself as a journalist still? Or would you not describe yourself like that anymore?
I think you're right that there is some way that we are seeing things or discussing something different, right? I guess what I'm trying to understand is what are the rules of this new world that you are inhabiting? Are you sort of making them up as you go along and you're sort of seeing what it is or do you adhere to some of those old values that you used to embrace?
From The New York Times, this is The Interview. I'm Lulu Garcia Navarro. Last year, on the night before the election, Megyn Kelly did something she'd never done before. She got up on stage at Donald Trump's final campaign rally, and she endorsed him.
Kelly built her career in the mainstream media. She spent nearly 15 years at Fox News, where she earned a reputation as one of the channel's sharpest interviewers, before she moved briefly to NBC. But that Trump rally speech was the clearest sign yet that Kelly has moved on to her next chapter.
Over the past few years, she's found a new lane for herself in podcasting and on YouTube, where she has a daily talk show that fits squarely into the MAGA-loving media universe.
