It's so hard for all of us to do anything fun
during this quarantine, my family and I, we had this idea
which is we'd take a road trip
and literally just stay in our car as much as possible.
And I know that you did something kind of like that.
You and your husband got it in an RV, is that right?
Yeah, we had the same thought.
And that was a way that we actually traveled.
You mentioned Nearly Departed,
We were traveling from New York to LA
to shoot Nearly Departed and wanted to figure out
how to do that as safely as possible
and to arrive in one piece.
But yes, we had the same thought
You took a picture that you also posted
and I think this is your husband
in the RV, chilling out.
It looks like he's having his breakfast, and then
for some reason there's a cardboard cutout of you,
behind him in the RV.
What's all that about?
Yeah, so we wrapped Nearly Departed.
Some of our producing partners on the project,
the company called Done and Dusted,
they produced the Emmys.
And if you remember at the Emmys,
the audience was filled with cardboard cutouts.
So my wrap gift was my cardboard cutout
which was swiftly defaced with all kinds
of PPE and other things that I will leave
for the imagination.
What does one do with a cardboard cutout of yourself?
It's like, I can't throw it out, that feels wrong.
And so we brought her with us
and she haunted us in the RV,
in our dreams, and now she's still here
in my apartment somewhere.
Yeah, it's weird.
I mean first of all, you ask,
what does one do with a cardboard cutout of yourself?
I know the answer to that question.
(man laughing)
I've been having the maid for years
and I just love hugging myself.
I've had a cardboard cutout of myself
and I've thoroughly enjoyed it in every possible way
'cause I'm a narcissist.
But you guys look like you're having fun
with it 'cause you've been taking these pictures.
I don't know if this is you or your husband
around the house, but I really love the ones where like
this is you I guess, leaning in with your dog.
Yeah (laughs)
Or A dog, unless he's a cardboard cutout too,
I don't know.
Improper PPE usage, I have to point out.
Yes, that's nice.
That's Winston.
He's confused.
You've got one here of just you.
It looks like just with bottles of alcohol, just chilling.
Right on the ground.
Yeah, and then my favorite though,
I like any peeking photo.
To me that's the best use of a cardboard cutout.
There's nothing better than it in the background,
just peeking out.
To me, I don't know.
To me that's the finest use of any cardboard cutout.
It's just peering out a little bit.
I really screwed up not placing her back here
for this interview.
Yeah, I think we've reached the point
in lockdown life where we've been together
for many, many, months.
We were getting our kicks from hiding the cardboard cutout
of me around the house and trying to scare it.
It works, it's frightening.
You know what you should do is just have
it looking out the window because people, burglars
will always think you're at home.
So that's not a bad idea.
That's an excellent idea.
It's also a great way to let everyone know where I live.
As I was saying it, I remembered Oh right,
she's really famous, that's a bad idea (laughs).
I don't know about really famous,
but like the few people No, no, no, no.
who care might know where it is.
Trust me, trust me.
You've achieved a certain level of fame
where it's not a deterrent to have a cardboard cutout
of you peering out of your New York apartment.
(laughs) Great idea.
So yeah.
I can't ask you because you love your cardboard cutouts.
I think she's overstayed her welcome
but I'm struggling with the idea of like cutting
her into small pieces and putting her in a garbage bag.
It getting dark out here. Yeah, that sounds
creepy and wrong.
And I would say send her to me but that's again,
the wrong message.
My wife would ask questions
Creepier and wronger.
(laughing)
Every idea I have is worse than the previous idea.
So let's just pretend I haven't said anything.
