- I have to tell you how great you were
'cause I haven't seen you since you hosted the Emmy's.
You did such a great job. - Thank you.
And it was--
[cheers and applause]
- So funny. You're funny and clever,
and I knew it would be funny and clever.
Uh, but you seemed so relaxed.
- I wasn't. - No?
- But thank-- that, I mean, coming from you,
you're the host of all times so--
- Well, it's a--it's a-- crazy thing to do.
[cheers and applause]
But, I mean, you just kinda have to walk out there
and--and be present. - Yeah.
- And were you?
- Well, I-I spent most of the time
prepping for it. I'm sure you relate to this.
Uh-- - Yeah, 'cause there were a lot
of really amazing taped pieces.
That whole Netflix thing was amazing.
- Oh, yeah, how there's too many shows, yeah.
- And then-- yeah, yeah.
- There are a lot of shows. - Yeah, yeah.
- Um, I kept thinking about, like, oh,
how will reviewers think about it
and people at home?
And then you forget that when you walk out,
there's 7,000 people in the theater.
- Right. - Which is bigger
than most live stuff I ever have done.
- Mm-hmm. - So just that alone,
I was like, "Oh, no."
[laughter]
And it's--it's everyone from our industry and--
- Yeah. - And they're worried about
if they're gonna win.
And sort of, when I hit the mark
at the very beginning of it, I-I got really nervous.
And then once I got a few laughs,
I was like, "Oh, okay." - Yeah.
- Yeah, because it is, uh, our peers.
And it's people that have seen it all,
and they're a little jaded
because they're the writers. They're the ones who are
it's--it's--you know. - Yeah.
- Usually about them.
- I mean, I've been to the Emmy's before,
and my stance, generally, from the--the seats
is, like, "Okay." - Yeah.
- Yeah, it's a tough crowd. - Yeah.
- It's a really tough crowd.
But I thought you were really funny
and really clever. - Thank you.
- So congratulations on that. - Thanks.
- Would you want to do it again?
- I would do it again, sure. - You should do it again.
- I mean, now that you said you liked it.
- Yeah.
[laughter]
So, I'll just say it right now.
He should be the host every year.
That's what I'll say.
[cheers and applause]
- That's a lot of work. - Yeah.
Um, and since I saw you also you got married.
Congratulations. - I did, thank you very much.
- That's very exciting. - Straight up.
Eh. - How long, uh--
- Eh, eh? - So--
- Check out the hardware. - Yeah.
So how long were you together
before you got married?
- Uh, together, I want to say f--
oh yeah, I better get this right.
- What do you mean "I want to say"?
- Five years, five year, and then now married two.
- Yeah, okay. - Yeah.
Do you remember your anniversary?
I do. I've--we've had two,
and I remembered both. - Good.
- And we did the thing where you do the gifts
where there's the thing it has to be made of
for the year. - Right.
- And the first year, it's paper.
- Right, and the second year's cotton, isn't it?
- Cotton, yeah. - Uh-huh.
- So, cotton I got her
a "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" sweatshirt.
- Uh-huh.
- And paper I wrote on a piece of paper,
"We can buy that table that you want."
[laughter]
- That's really exciting though.
Isn't it? - Yeah, it's great.
- It's been, um-- there we are.
- Yup. - That's me and my wife.
- There you are.
[cheers and applause]
- "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" is so funny.
- Thanks. - I mean, it's--
Third season, right? - Third season, yeah.
[cheers and applause]
Uh, man, I love it. I love it.
I can't believe how much I still love it.
I expected it to be, like, in the beginning
it'd be exciting, and then you'd be like,
"Yeah, yeah, it's a gig," and we show up.
But we're all having a ton of fun still.
I feel like it's actually just getting better.
- Yeah. - Everyone should watch it.
- Yeah, everybody should watch it.
It's very clever, very funny.
- Thanks.
- And it's-- and you're working-- I mean,
it's--it's really fun to go to work
and, I mean, that's what we do here.
We come to work and laugh every day.
- There's nothing better than that.
- Yeah, it's the greatest.
It's what I always dreamed of. - Yeah.
- For me, like, my dream as a kid
was to be on "SNL," and then that happened,
which never happens. - Mm-hmm.
- Um, so after that, it's all just kinda been icing.
- Uh-huh. - Um, and "Brooklyn,"
uh, has been crazy.
It's like this whole second family...
our cast and everybody who works on it.
- It's another cake with icing.
- It's another-- it's like a double-tiered cake
with icing in between... - Yeah.
- Squished in the middle of the cakes.
