IT IS SO NICE TO -- IFNTD BEEN IN FRONT OF A LIVE AUDIENCE
IN -- >> Stephen: THAT'S ONE OF MY
FAVORITE THINGS.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) I CAN TELL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE
NOT ACTUALLY BEEN IN FRONT OF A LIVE AUDIENCE SINCE COVID BEGAN
WHEN THEY COME OUT HERE BECAUSE IT'S A LITTLE BIT LIKE, MY
FRIENDS!
>> OH, MY GOD MY HEART'S BEATING A LITTLE.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
SO NICE!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: THEY CAME JUST FOR
YOU.
WE SHIPPED THEM IN JUST FOR YOU.
>> SURE.
>> Stephen: THIS IS YOUR LIFE.
HERE'S THE THING -- >> YES.
>> Stephen: -- SPEAKING OF COVID, THE LAST TIME YOU WERE
HERE WAS IN MAY OF 2019, SO A LITTLE OVER TWO YEARS AGO.
YOU WERE STARTING IN A GEOSERIES CALLED --
>> THE HOT ZONE.
>> Stephen: ABOUT AN ELBA OUTBREAK ABOUT PANDEMICS.
THIS IS A PICTURE OF YOU IN YOUR OUTFIT FROM --
>> SEXY!
>> Stephen: BUT HERE'S THE CRAZY THING, I SAW A CLIP TODAY,
THIS IS, AGAIN, MAY OF 2019, THIS IS ALMOST A YEAR BEFORE THE
COVID OUTBREAK.
THIS -- >> YES.
>> Stephen: THIS IS WHAT YOU SAID.
>> IT'S NOT ABOUT WHEN THIS IS -- IF THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN
ON THE U.S. SOIL AGAIN, IT'S WHEN.
WHAT I'M -- STAY WITH ME.
( LAUGHTER ) SO SHEDDING LIGHT ON IT, IT'S ON
THE COVER OF THE "NEW YORK TIMES" TODAY, FOR THE FIRST
TIME, WHERE USUALLY IT'S BACK ON PAGE 18.
>> Stephen: SURE.
FINALLY, WE'RE SHEDDING LIGHT ON A GLOBAL PROBLEM, AND WE NEED
TO SUPPORT OUR SCIENTISTS AND STOP DENYING SCIENCE.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: WOW.
WOW.
>> THEY DIDN'T LISTEN.
>> Stephen: WE NEVER LISTEN TO YOU, JULIANNA MARGULIES!
>> I MEAN, THAT'S AMAZING.
THAT WAS THE LAST TIME I DID A TALK SHOW.
>> Stephen: AND, SO -- DID YOU HAVE A HEAD START WHEN THE
PANDEMIC STARTED?
WERE YOU READY?
DID YOU SAVE THIS OUTFIT?
DID YOU HAVE THIS READY TO GO WHEN IT HIT?
>> YOU KNOW, I HAVE TO TELL YOU, SO THAT OUTFIT WAS NOT SO BAD.
THE HAZMAT SUIT WHICH WEIGHED 350 POUNDS AND WAS SO
UNCOMFORTABLE -- >> Stephen: IS THAT THE YELLOW
THING.
>> IT WAS BLUE AND HAD A FAN AND IT WAS HORRIBLE, AND I'M
CLAUSTROPHOBIC, SO THAT WASN'T FUN.
WHEN I GOT ON "THE MORNING SHOW" AND GOT ON MY FIRST FLIGHT AFTER
EIGHT MONTHS OF LOCKDOWN, I JUST DREAMED -- I WAS, LIKE, OF ALL
THE COSTUMES I DIDN'T TAKE, WHY WOULDN'T I HAVE TAKEN THAT
RUBBER HAZMAT SUIT SO I COULD FLY ON A PLANE --
>> Stephen: YOU CAN PUT A MARTINNIZEING BAG ON YOUR HEAD
AND A RUBBER BAND AROUND YOUR NECK, THAT WORKS, TOO.
>> THAT WORKS.
>> Stephen: YOU WERE PRODUCTIVE OVER COVID.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: YOU WROTE A BOOK.
I DID.
>> Stephen: A MEMOIR "SUNSHINE GIRL: AN UNEXPECTED LIFE."
IS IT TRUE THIS BOOK WAS ORIGINALLY SUPPOSED TO BE JUST
ABOUT SET ETIQUETTE, LIKE THE SET KIT YOU SHOULD HAVE WHEN
YOU'RE ON A FILM OR TELEVISION SET?
>> YES.
>> Stephen: I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.
>> IT'S NOT IN HERE.
>> Stephen: IT'S NOT IN HERE AT ALL.
WHAT DID YOU PUBLISHER SAY WHEN YOU SAID I WANT TO WRITE A BOOK
AT SET ETIQUETTE?
>> WHEN I WAS ON "THE GOOD WIFE," I WORKED WITH THE AMAZING
MICHAEL J. FOX.
IT'S HARD BEING ON A SET.
I AM GRATEFUL FOR MY LIFE, I'M NOT COMPLAINING, BUT IT'S HARD
WORK, AND NOT JUST FOR YOU, FOR EVERYONE.
IT'S A COLLECTIVE EXPERIENCE AND NOTHING WORKS WITHOUT EVERYONE,
CREW, CAST, PRODUCERS, EVERYBODY.
AND I WOULD SIT BACK WHEN THEY WERE LIGHTING AT A COURTROOM
SCENE AND MICHAEL J. FOX WOULD BE AT A COUNCIL TABLE AND I
WOULD BE WATCHING A COUPLE OF MELTDOWNS AND PEOPLE BEHAVING
BADLY AND I WOULD TRY -- I WOULD GET EMBARRASSED AND TRY NOT TO
SAY ANYTHING AND BREATHE AND GET THROUGH IT.
I LOOKED OVER AND HE SAID, YOU'RE LOOKING AT PEOPLE WHO
DON'T UNDERSTAND.
I SAID, I CAN'T BELIEVE THE BEHAVIOR.
IT'S DISGUSTING.
>> Stephen: WHAT ARE THE ESSENTIALS OF SET ETIQUETTES YOU
THINK SHOULD BE TOLD ON DAY ONE.
>> MY THREE FIRST THINGS, BE ON TIME, KNOW YOUR LINES, AND DON'T
COMPLAIN.
>> Stephen: THAT'S NICE.
THAT'S IT.
I WAS A WAITRESS.
I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR MY LIFE.
THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED SUNSHINE GIRL: AN UNEXPECTED LIFE ."
I NEVER EXPECTED THIS LIFE.
HAYED A CRAZY CHILDHOOD.
I WROTE NINE CHAPTERS AND MY AGENT SAID -- I INTERWOVE IT
WITH SET ETIQUETTE AND HOW IT GOT STARTED AND I WOULD DO A
LITTLE CHILDHOOD MEMORY, CENTER THE NINE CHAPTERS.
AND SHE GOES, SO ACTING HANDBOOKS DON'T SELL, BUT YOUR
LIFE WAS CRAZY!
WRITE THAT!
>> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE A QUICK BREAK.
>> OKAY.
>> Stephen: BUT DON'T GO ANYWHERE.
WHEN WE COME BACK, JULIANNA ARE GOING TO TRADE WAITRESS AND
BARTENDING STORIES.
