( APPLAUSE )
NOW, YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN SHOOTING ALL AROUND THE CITY.
>> FOR A WHILE. >> Stephen: STARTING WHEN?
>> IN JULY. >> JULY 7, OR SOMETHING.
>> Stephen: HERE'S A SHOT OF YOU GUYS-- THIS IS YOU GUYS,
RIGHT? >> YES, THAT'S--
( LAUGHING ). >> Stephen: THIS IS NOT JUST
YOU GUYS AT LUNCH. THIS IS YOU GUYS SHOOTING.
>> WE'RE IN DRESSING AND STUFF. THAT'S HOW YOU KNOW WE'RE
WORKING. >> Stephen: THERE IS SO MUCH
SECRECY ABOUT THIS. WE DON'T EVEN HAVE A CLIP TO
SHOW THE AUDIENCE RIGHT NOW. >> SORRY.
>> Stephen: DO YOU WORRY ABOUT SPOILERS?
>> IT WAS VERY HIGHLY INTENSE, YES.
>> WE WORRY CONSTANTLY, YES. >> Stephen: I HAVE AN
IMPORTANT QUESTION HERE, IS THAT THERE ARE RUMORS THAT YOU GUYS
ACTUALLY SHOT SCENES AROUND NEW YORK THAT ARE FAKE SCENES TO
THROW PEOPLE OFF THE SCENT TO TRY TO STOP PEOPLE FROM KNOWING
WHAT THE PLOT OF THE SERIES IS. >> YES DEFINITELY.
>> YES, DEFINITELY! >> Stephen: I BELIEVE YOU.
>> THAT'S WHY I PLAY CHARLOTTE. ( LAUGHING )
>> YES. >> Stephen: WOW.
>> IT MIGHT BE TRUE. >> Stephen: THAT'S A YES AND A
MAYBE. THAT'S A TRUE.
>> Stephen: OKAY, NOW-- >> WE WANT THE FANS TO ENJOY THE
SHOW. I THINK THAT'S THE IMPORTANT
PART. YOU KNOW, LIKE, WE DON'T WANT
THEM TO KNOW-- WE DON'T WANT THEM TO READ THE CLIFF NOTES
BEFOREHAND. >> Stephen: I UNDERSTAND.
HAVE THERE BEEN ANY GUESSES OUT THERE THAT ARE RIGHT?
>> NO!
>> THIS IS FUN. >> Stephen: IS IT DISTRACTING?
BECAUSE YOU GUYS CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITHOUT GETTING
ATTENTION AROUND THE CITY. I'M SURE YOU GOT TONS OF
ATTENTION WHEN YOU DID THE SERIES, BUT IT WAS A SERIES
ONGOING. NOW EVERYBODY IS TRYING TO
FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON. YOU MUST GET MOBBED WHEN YOU
SHOOT ANYWHERE. IS THAT A CHALLENGING THING WHEN
PEOPLE-- THERE ARE NOiPHONES BACK THEN.
>> AND VERY LITTLE SOCIAL MEDIA. I HAVE TO SAY, WE STARTED
SHOOTING IN JULY, AND THE CITY WAS JUST COMING OUT OF THE
LOCKDOWN. SO IT WAS SO AMAZING FOR US TO
BE BACK PLAYING THESE CHARACTERS.
>> IT WAS. >> AND BACK WITH EACH OTHER.
BUT, ALSO, I THINK IT WAS EXCITING FOR PEOPLE, AND IT WAS
OBVIOUSLY OBVIOUSLY, VERY EXCITING FOR US TO SEE PEOPLE ON
THE STREET WATCHING US BECAUSE IT FELT LIKE NEW YORK COMING
BACK. >> Stephen: YOU GUYS
OBVIOUSLY, FAMOUSLY, IN THE SERIES, IN THE MOVIES ARE A
QUARTET. NOW THERE'S NO SAMANTHA.
YOU'RE JUST A TRIO. WHAT'S THAT TRANSITION LIKE FROM
A QUARTET TO A TRIO. >> I DON'T FEEL LIKE-- WE ARE A
TRIO, THE THREE ORIGINAL WOMEN. BUT I FEEL LIKE NOW WE'RE A SE
PTET. THERE ARE SEVEN OF US.
THERE'S-- >> AND THEY'RE AMAZING.
>> THEY'RE AMAZING. >> AND I REALLY AM SO GRATIFIED.
WE KNEW THE SHOW WAS GOING TO EXPAND AND THERE WERE GOING TO
BE MORE PEOPLE, AND IT WAS SUCH AN INCREDIBLY WHITE SHOW WHEN IT
WAS ON THE FIRST TIME. SO GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO
BACK AND CHANGE THAT WAS, YOU KNOW, VERY WELCOME.
>> THAT WAS A HUGE PART OF WHY WE'RE HERE.
>> YEAH. .BUT, ALSO, IT WAS AMAZING TO ME
THAT THEY DIDN'T TRY AND PUT, YOU KNOW, 25-YEAR-OLDS WITH US.
THEY BROUGHT US PEOPLE WHO WERE VERY MUCH OUR PEERS.
AND THAT WAS AMAZING. >> YES.
>> Stephen: THAT IS LOVELY.
( LAUGHING ) ). >> Stephen: WE KNOW THAT
SAMANTHA IS FINE. SHE'S NOT DEAD IN THE SERIES,
RIGHT? SHE'S JUST GONE.
>> WE WILL NEITHER CONFIRM NOR DENY.
>> Stephen: SO IT'S POSSIBLE-- >> SHE'S NOT LIKE A LAWYER AT
ALL. >> Stephen: IT'S POSSIBLE SHE
STARTED DATING A DAJUN AND WAS EATEN BY AN ALLIGATOR, SOMETHING
LIKE, THAT OR DATING A CLOWN AND EATEN BY A LION.
>> WOW, CREATIVE IDEAS. >> ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
YOU WILL HAVE TO TUNE IN TO FIND OUT.
>> VERY SOON YOU WILL FIND OUT. >> Stephen: BEFORE WE GO, I
WANT TO TALK ABOUT YOUR FRIEND,
WILLIE GARRISON HERE, WHO PLAYED SANFORD, A BELOVED MEMBER OF THE
SECOND CITY FAMILY WHO PASSED AWAY.
HE'S ACTUALLY IN THE NEW SERIES. >> HE'S IN THE FIRST THREE
EPISODES. >> THIS IS HIM ON THE SET.
HOW WILL YOU REMEMBER HIM? >> I MEAN, WILLIE WAS JUST A
PERSON WHO JUST LIGHTENED ANY SITUATION THAT HE WAS IN AND
JUST WOULD HAVE YOU IN STITCHES WITHIN, YOU KNOW, A MINUTE OF
COMING INTO A CONVERSATION. LIKE, HE WAS A PERSON WITH
INCREDIBLE STORIES, LIKE SHOW BUSINESS STORIES AND STORIES
ABOUT HIS OWN, YOU KNOW, ZANY LIFE AND HIS FAMILY THAT HE
COMES FROM AND THE FAMILY THAT HE CREATED.
AND HE'S JUST A PERSON WHO-- I DON'T KNOW-- JUST WAS ALWAYS
WITH THE JOKES. >> JOY AND SO INCREDIBLY
BRILLIANT AND SMART AND REALLY EVEN-- EVEN BEING SICK, WHICH WE
DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IN THE BEGINNING, HE STILL BROUGHT SO
MUCH JOY-- JOY--
>> ALWAYS JUST HAD US LAUGHING. AND WE WERE, YOU KNOW, I THINK
IT'S FAIR TO SAY WE SHOT WITH HIM FOR A LONG TIME NOT KNOWING
HE WAS SICK, AND THEN THINGS GOT BAD ENOUGH THAT WE WERE
INFORMED. SO I THINK WE'RE ALSO VERY
GRATEFUL THAT WE HAD A FEW DAYS WITH HIM, KNOWING THAT HE WAS
SICK AND WE COULD TALK TO HIM ABOUT IT AND HE COULD TALK TO US
ABOUT IT. AND THAT I THINK WAS A REALLY
IMPORTANT THING FOR ALL OF US. >> BUT IT'S HARD.
( VOICE BREAKING ) I WISH HE WERE HERE, YOU KNOW,.
>> Stephen: THANK YOU BOTH FOR BEING HERE.
>> THANK YOU, STEPHEN. >> Stephen: THANK YOU FOR
SHARING YOUR FEELINGS ABOUT YOUR FRIEND, TOO.
THANK YOU.
KRISTIN DAVIS AND CYNTHIA NIXON, EVERYBODY!
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH A PERFORMANCE BY GLASS ANIMALS.
STICK AROUND.
