I'm Dan Horgan, and I'm joined by Monica Sharon. Hello. Hello. I sure hope people are as obsessed with Sharon as I am. When I saw Bad Sisters, I was like, this person intrigues me to no end.
Yeah.
And then only to find out she had created the show and wrote on it.
Amazing.
It is incredible. Sharon Horgan is an Emmy-nominated actor, writer, director, and producer. Bad Sisters, Catastrophe, Motherland, Together, This Way Up. And she's in the new limited series on Hulu, The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox.
Yes, if you listen to that episode, you will have heard about Sharon as well.
We've never interviewed someone who's created this many TV shows, and we've interviewed some famous showrunners.
That's true. She's the most prolific.
Well, what about Shonda? Oh, we did have Shonda. All right.
They're both great women. They're both great women.
We love women. We don't need to make them compete.
We're not pitting a woman against another woman.
We don't need to body shame anyone. That's right. We're not doing it.
Please enjoy Sharon Horgan.
I was going to ask, because we were all just at the Emmys.
Yeah.
And are you still a little exhausted from that whole thing?
Yeah. How bad? Well, I went to this mental party at the end of the night. I mean, it was weird.
On Sunday night?
Yeah.
Without naming names, tell me what brand of mental was it?
I can't completely remember, but I think it was these brothers, and I think they just do it every year. Oh, okay. And so there was proper people there. I fell over, look, you can see it from here.
Oh my goodness, yeah, that's a sign of a good evening.
Yeah, maybe I'll be like, oh, that's not going to work. Because I stupidly decided to walk home, you know, when you get very like, you know. You get ambitious sometimes. I'm fine. Yeah, yeah. And so I walked home and then went arse over tit. But yeah, it was these brothers and they do it every year, apparently. And he sort of remodeled his home to be like a party house. Okay.
That was two nights ago. So we're still... Still struggling. We're still struggling.
Have we started? Yeah, yeah. We're always starting.
Does it matter that all my shit's just here? We like it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. As long as you're happy with it.
You dress so nice, you can now pull off anything. If you throw up at some point in this interview.
Well, I have another engagement after. Okay. Because I didn't know whether to be casual or dress it up, but because I got to be dressed up for this other thing. It's just the whole thing of coming over for the Emmy stuff is how many outfits you've got to... Pack. Yeah. Yeah. And change into and put jewelry on and get your hair done.
How many days was this trip?
I arrived over on Friday.
Did you go out Saturday night or did you know better?
I went out Friday night.
Oh, Friday night, Saturday night, Sunday night.
Yeah, and last night.
So you're just barely with us.
And last night. You went out last night too. But last night was just eating pork chops and drinking water. Okay. And maybe just one gin and tonic because... I hadn't seen my friend for a long time. Did you go to the Dunsmore? No. Why are they a pork chop place?
Well, that's the only place I could think of that has pork chops.
No, I went to Sunset Tower. Oh, I love Sunset Tower. They do a really good pork chop. Wow, I didn't know that. I was so obsessed with eating last night. You know when there's like four things on the menu you want? Yes. And there's this whole internal struggle and worry that you're going to pick the wrong thing. Yeah. Oh, yeah. But then I picked the right thing. The pork chops.
And what did your friend get?
He got the filet mignon.
And did you sample that or are you stuck with your pork chop?
I didn't actually.
Did he want to try your pork chop?
I felt like even that was too complicated a move. Okay. You know. The splitting. Just leaning over.
