FULL
FULL REPORT ON THIS COMING UP IN THE EIGHT O'CLOCK HOUR. I WOULDN'T TAKE YOU FOR A
BASEBALL FAN. OH, I'M NOT. I
JUST LOVE TO LISTEN TO ORGAN
MUSIC. YOU SCREAM YOU CAN
SCREAM ANYTHING YOU WANT AT A
BASEBALL GAME AND IT DOESN'T
EVEN HAVE TO MAKE SENSE. YEAH.
OH COME ON BIG GUY. COVETABLE
TIED UP SPOKE TO YOU. YOU
COULDN'T HEAR IT BUT THERE'S A
LOT OF LAUGHING GOING ON HERE
IN OUR STUDIO BRINGS BACK SOME
MEMORIES. RIGHT. HULU IS
BRINGING BACK SOME OF YOUR
FAVORITE SHOWS FROM THE
NINETIES THIS WEEK INCLUDING
DHARMA AND GREG AND WE HAVE
DHARMA HERSELF THIS MORNING
JOINING US GOLDEN GLOBE WINNING
ACTRESS JENNA ELFMAN. THANK YOU
FOR BEING WITH US THIS MORNING.
THANK JAVIN. HOW ARE DOING?
WELL, THIS IS AN EXCITING TIME.
YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO BE
HITTING HULU. ARE YOU GOING TO
BE ONE OF THE PEOPLE BINGE IN
YOUR SHOW? WHAT DO YOU THINK?
GOOD QUESTION. I PROBABLY AM
DUE FOR A GOOD BINGE AT THIS
POINT. IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE
I'VE WATCHED A LOT OF THE
EPISODES I KEEP TRYING TO LIKE
I HAVE TWO SONS AND WE'RE
WATCHING LIKE BRADY BUNCH, THE
OFFICE, SEINFELD AND I'M KEEP
GOING LIKE MY GRADES REALLY
FUNNY. YOU SHOULD WATCH IT.
THEY'RE YOU'RE SITTING RIGHT
HERE. WE DON'T NEED TO WATCH
IT. ALL RIGHT. WELL, I KEEP
TRYING TO TAKE YOU BACK TO THAT
TIME IN THE LATE NINETIES IN
TERMS OF THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE
WHO ARE WATCHING YOUR SHOW AND
JUST WHO WERE WATCHING
TELEVISION ON A SINGLE NIGHT
WAS PRETTY INCREDIBLE. YOU
DON'T GET THAT ANYMORE IN TERMS
OF PEOPLE CROWDING AROUND THE
TV WATCHING EACH EPISODE. DO
YOU DOES IT IS IT HARDER NOW DO
YOU THINK FOR PEOPLE IN TV WHO
DON'T GET THOSE NUMBERS FOR
VIEWERS? WAS THERE A COLLECTIVE
EXCITEMENT IN GETTING THOSE
CRAZY RATINGS? WELL, AT THE
TIME WE DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING
OF IT BECAUSE THAT'S JUST
SAYING IF YOU WERE HIT I MEAN
WE HAD YOU KNOW, ANYWHERE FROM
EIGHTEEN MILLION VIEWERS PER
EPISODE TO FIFTEEN MILLION NO
BIG DEAL. YOU KNOW AT THE TIME
I MEAN BACK IN I LOVE LUCY DAYS
THEY WERE GETTING FORTY MILLION
BECAUSE THERE WAS ONLY THREE
CHANNELS OR TWO CHANNELS. SO
YOU KNOW AS THE YEARS HAVE
PROGRESSED AND TECHNOLOGY HAS
EXPANDED THE AMOUNT OBVIOUSLY
OF OPPORTUNITY OR PLACES WHERE
EYEBALLS CAN GO GETS DISPERSED
AND SO THEN JUST OVERALL THE
RATINGS ARE DOWN. IT'S NOT LIKE
FANDOM IS DOWN. IT'S JUST
THERE'S A GIGANTIC MARKET NOW
THAT DIFFUSES THOSE NUMBERS. SO
IT IS KIND OF AMAZING THAT WE
GOT THOSE NUMBERS. IT WAS EVERY
COUNTRY AND WHAT I LOVED ABOUT
THAT OPPORTUNITY WAS THE
CHARACTER I WAS PLAYING BROUGHT
SO MUCH JOY I FELT LIKE THAT'S
SUCH A GOOD EXAMPLE TO GIRLS TO
BE IT'S OK TO BE WHO YOU ARE.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO CHANGE WHO
YOU ARE OF THE PERSON ON WHO
YOU ARE. AND I JUST THINK
THAT'S SUCH A WAS SUCH A GREAT
MESSAGE AND IT WAS DONE THROUGH
A JOYOUS WAVELENGTH AND NOW
THAT ALL FIVE SEASONS ARE
AVAILABLE ON HULU IT JUST
THRILLS ME. I'M SO HAPPY ABOUT
THAT. SO DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU
WERE SIMILAR IN PERSONALITY TO
DRAMA AT ALL? I THINK YOU KNOW,
I DO LOVE LIFE. I LOVE PEOPLE.
I DON'T I JUST LOVE I DON'T
KNOW I DO I LOVE LIFE AND I DO
HAVE A HUMOROUS TAKE ON LIFE. I
DO TRY TO LEAD WITH ENJOYMENT
AND LOVE. I'M NOT PERFECT BUT I
THINK I WASN'T AS I DIDN'T GET
MYSELF INTO SITUATIONS THAT
DAHMER LIKE I WOULD NEVER PUT
LIKE ASTROTURF IN MY LIVING
ROOM OR SOME SIMILAR THINGS
LIKE THAT. BUT I DO THINK AT
THE CORE OF LEADING WITH JOY
AND CURIOSITY ABOUT LIFE I LIVE
THERE. YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD WAY
OF THINKING OF THINGS WE ALSO
HEARD WE'RE HERE IN SAN DIEGO
AND WE HEARD THAT YOU WERE BACK
HERE AND I THINK IT WAS TWENTY
NINETEEN FOR COMIC-CON. SO YOU
KIND OF HAD YOU'VE BEEN AROUND
SAN DIEGO. YOU HAVE AWESOME I
LOVE SAN DIEGO. YEAH. SO I MEAN
NOW GOING FORWARD OBVIOUSLY
COMIC-CON BEING POSTPONED IT
WAS LAST YEAR AS WELL. THERE'S
A LOT OF IMPACTS TO SHOOTING ON
TV SHOWS. I'M SURE IF DHARMA
AND GREG WERE CURRENTLY BEING
SHOT THERE PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE
A STUDIO AUDIENCE. WHAT'S BEEN
THE IMPACT FOR YOU
PROFESSIONALLY WITH COVID-19?
WELL, I'VE BEEN VERY LUCKY SO
I'M YOU KNOW, HAPPILY WORKING
ON FEAR THE WALKING DEAD WITH A
WONDERFUL CHARACTER IN JUNE AND
WE SEASON SIX, THE SECOND HALF
OF SEASON SIX COMES BACK ON AMC
ON APRIL 11. THERE'S A BIG
STORY COMING SO THAT'S EXCITING
.WERE YOU WE WERE IN THE
MIDDLE OF FILMING SEASON SIX
WHEN IT HAPPENED AND SO WE TOOK
A LONG HIATUS RIGHT IN THE
MIDDLE OF FILMING THE SEASON
WHILE THEY EVERYONE HAD TO WORK
OUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING
OBVIOUSLY. BUT THEN WE WERE
ABLE TO RETURN TO WORK IN
OCTOBER WITH MASSIVE REGULAR
TESTING PROTOCOLS OF MASKS AND
GOGGLES AND ALL OF THE ABOVE
AND WE DID IT WE JUST FINISHED
FILMING THE SEASON AND ARE SO
EXCITED FOR EVERYONE TO SEE A
RETURN ON APRIL 11 AND I'M VERY
GRATEFUL TO THAT. I WAS ABLE TO
CONTINUE WORKING AND FEEL GOOD
TO GO BACK TO THAT ABILITY
BEING A CREATIVE MINDSET. YOU
KNOW, ALSO DURING A TIME LIKE
THIS I FEEL VERY LUCKY. AMC DID
A GREAT JOB KEEPING EVERYBODY
SAFE AND BRINGING ALSO CLOSER
TO HOME FOR YOU HABITAT FOR
HUMANITY HAS BEEN SOMETHING
THAT YOU'VE HELD VERY CLOSE TO
YOUR HEART. TELL US ABOUT THAT
AND WOMEN'S BUILD WEEK. YEAH,
SO I'VE BEEN A FAN OF HABITAT
FOR HUMANITY SINCE I WAS A
LITTLE GIRL. I REMEMBER SEEING
JIMMY CARTER, YOU KNOW,
PROMOTING IT AND DOING WORK
WITH IT AND I JUST I ALWAYS HAD
A REALLY GOOD FEELING ABOUT IT
FROM AS A YOUNG KID AND SO NOW
THAT I AM AN ADULT AND I CAN
PARTICIPATE AND ENGAGE IN IT IN
THAT WAY THE MEANINGFUL WAY
I'VE BEEN SO LUCKY THAT THEY'VE
WELCOMED ME TO COME HELP
PROMOTE THEM. IT'S A NEW
RELATIONSHIP FOR ME BUT I LOVE
THAT THEY LOVE CLOSE PARTNERS
WITH THEM, SUPPORTS WOMEN,
BUILD INCREDIBLY WELL. IT'S A
VERY WELL FUNCTIONING
PARTNERSHIP THERE AND WOMEN
HAVE BEEN HIT HARDEST WITH
COVID AND THE PANDEMIC BECAUSE
THESE FEMALE LED HOUSEHOLDS AND
SINGLE INCOME CHILDREN WITH
CHILD CARE CENTERS CLOSE
SCHOOLS CLOSE AND THEN YOU HAVE
THE BOTH OF WOMEN ARE ESSENTIAL
OR LOSING THEIR JOBS AND SO
EITHER THEY HAVE THE JOB
OF THEIR CHILDREN OR HOME OR
THEY LOST THEIR JOB AND CAN'T
KEEP A ROOF OVER THEIR HEAD AND
IT'S IT'S ACTUALLY A REALLY BIG
PROBLEM AND HABITAT FOR
HUMANITY REALLY RECOGNIZES THAT
AND HAS BEEN GOING ABOVE AND
BEYOND TO HELP ALL OF THEIR
FEMALE LED HOUSEHOLDS MANAGE
THAT, PUTTING MORTGAGE PAYMENTS
TO THE AND ETC. BUT WHAT'S
GREAT ABOUT HABITAT THAT I LOVE
IS THE SWEAT EQUITY THAT THEY
HAVE THE RECIPIENTS ENGAGE UPON
HELPING OTHERS BUILD THEIR
HOMES, PARTICIPATING AND
BUILDING THEIR OWN HOME AND
THEY CAN MAINTAIN THEIR PRIDE
OF OWNERSHIP IN THAT WAY. AND I
THINK IT'S A REALLY WELL
BALANCED AND CONVERSATION AND
SORRY
