And really that was kind of it. Then you'd also go like, okay, is this going to be a spy shot where you guys don't know you're on camera? Will we be shooting through the blinds or through a crack in the door? And then that was kind of it. And then we would just get there and just play out the scene.

For me, it's the greatest way to do TV comedy because just every time we shot the scene, we had the full scene. And so it just allowed us to just play and go like, okay, this time, try this. And just the fact that Greg and everybody let us play around so much with these great scripts that we already had, and then we had the confidence to keep that stuff in.

Because I'd worked on other shows where the cast was really brilliant at kind of improv-ing or tagging something or just kind of taking a little left turn in the middle of the scene. But the showrunners just wouldn't put it in because they were so in love with their scripts that they just wouldn't use it. The shining example of that was when we did the next episode, the Halloween episode.

But Greg, I think, jettisoned some other kind of storyline just so we could keep that scene long because it was just so funny. And, you know, that takes a lot of confidence and sort of, you know, self-confidence really on the part of the showrunner to let those moments play out like that.
