I mean, the thing was, it was actually a very simple decision because we were like, you know, getting Amy Poehler on your show is a long-term decision. Like, that's a decision you make for, like, this show. what you hope will be a very long chunk of time. Like the Superbowl slot is a short term decision. It's like, yeah, you'll get this like frisson of, of energy, but like it doesn't last.

Like no one ever, like very rarely does that determine the fate of a TV show. And so we then called you back and said, what if you could start shooting three months after you give birth? And then we made the show.

Okay, so it's two things. The first is growing up, first major comedic influence, Monty Python. Monty Python is, experts at silly, stupid names. Like hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of them.

So I would go to actors' IMDb pages to see what they had been in when we were casting them in the early days of the show. And you would see like woman number two or like man in crowd or guy with sandwich. And it really bummed me out because I love actors. I love them so much.

I think that their job, people will scoff when I say this, I think they have the hardest job of any job when it comes to like making a show. It is so hard. Anyone who doesn't believe this should try it, by the way. Try acting.
