I'm Alex. This is Tony. Hi, I'm Tony. Thank you for the generous mic placement
That's it they don't care about my people go ahead we'll make it work
Yeah, thank you except that I
Can't I can't hear you
Yeah, I know on which side my bread is buttered
But they really are extraordinary they do it all now there's 15 other things they do that I didn't I didn't have time to mention
Yes, can I
Dominate the entire. I'm just going to dominate
Yeah, um, well, there's two actors on our show that are so phenomenal and and add so much bring so much to the table
Kevin, Pollak and Caroline Aaron they play moist and Shirley Mazal and they are
they're just phenomenal I get to do a lot of my stuff with them and it is a total joy, I
Was so happy to see Luke Kirby recognize I think he's phenomenal when he's on it's not like anyone's doing a performance
It feels like Lenny Bruce
that's so tricky to portray someone who really existed and such an icon and I think he
Embodies him but isn't doing an impersonation and it's so phenomenal and Jane's amazing
Yeah, just the whole cast
everyone's amazing and our crew our crew our crew I get to come and go but they're there first thing in the morning and last
Thing at night. I don't know how they do it and I don't know why they do it
One at a time one at a time, I think I think it's working
Hi
Congratulations to both of you absolutely love the show just gonna speak to
why you feel it resonates so much this show with the people who are watching I
Think it has a lot to do with Alex Borstein
Yeah, and me, why does it just have my name and not your name
That's true yeah, why does it resonate I don't know I think because it's kind of a refreshing respite from
the present day and our current situation and
It's a little bit of a you know
There's a little element of nostalgia to it and yet it's sort of the themes and everything are
Relate to to present day. It's relevant and and it's just full of
Full of great characters and and great writing that's that's everything. I
Would agree, I think it's um
It's like a musical without singing. It's it's it's it's fantasy and it's an escape and I think people want it right now
Alex the story you told at the end of your speech was very moving. Can you share a little bit about why you chose to?
Tell everyone about your family and share that story tonight
I'm not sure
I don't know just just talking about the strength of a woman and and and my grandmother was a strongest woman
I knew and I get choked up every time I talk about her
but yeah, she's she's an amazing person an amazing story and
We keep focusing on the strengths of women now and how we've come a long way and it's it's bullshit
They've always been there these these women have always
Run the roost and I come from a long line of bulldozers, and I'm proud
Oh
Tony Alex. Congratulations
Jimmy wolf
Alex
we're where you're the strong women in your family saying yeah, go be an actress or
where they you know, honey, you have a something to fall back on or
My grandmother used to say why don't you make your own show
I'll make a show. Why don't you make a show?
they have a my mother and grandmother always said be an actress and my father said
Go to college and have something to fall back on and so I followed all of their advice
Tony how does it feel to be surrounded by all these strong women on the show?
Well, actually it feels very I feel like I'm very much at home
I grew up in a large family have six sisters. I am married to a fabulous woman. I have two daughters
I I'm just I'm in that world all the time and and it's it's it's it's it's fed me and it's nurtured me and
It's it's made my life. Fantastic are any of your daughters?
Interested in acting well, I'm happy to say no
My older daughter actually did go to to Cal arts
and she in the acting program did really well, but when she got out she had the good sense to
To become a writer and she just chose a totally different path and we're incredibly proud of her
For one last question
Yes
Why do you hide like why do you hide on the red carpet when
Lots of people wanted to talk to you and you and Brooke are kind of sneaking in
I
Have to say Alex told me to do that
That's I just I just I'm obedient and I I just follow orders
You know, I don't know
I mean, I just I never get the sense that people are clamoring to there's so many great high-profile people
You know on that carpet, and so I prefer to you know
recede rather than
Rather than be pushed out of the way and Alex
I think that every year I learned something new about you and I think I mean in a professional sense that you can do
So much and I feel like there's something that you're working on. Maybe your desk that you're gonna write and do yourself
Is there a secret project in your life?
There's always a secret project
But my biggest project is my kids
I when I'm not working for you know
We work for five to six months and then I go and just have fun with my kids and play with them and take them
To school, but yeah, I'm always writing. I'm working on a feature and we'll see what happens
comedy drama horror
It's it's kind of a porn
Why is that funny it's the first laugh of the night, I'm offended. Yeah. It's a hardcore porn. It's a snuff film
You're gonna get in trouble for that am I though I'm gonna get rich I'm gonna get rich
Thank you everyone
