00:00Good to see you.

00:01Nice to see you too.

00:02So what should we expect tonight?

00:03Ooh, I don't want to be a spoiler and I don't have any information.

00:06Do you know who the winners are?

00:08I have no information about it.

00:09I'm going to be as surprised as everyone there, but I know who I would like to win.

00:14Shogun is going to have the night.

00:18I mean, everyone is saying The Streets.

00:20The Streets.

00:21How many seasons do you want it to go for?

00:23Oh, I want it to go for as many seasons as the creators feel they have great stories to tell.

00:29And we know for certain that's going to be two seasons.

00:31And I would fully expect there will be more.

00:34There will be more.

00:35There will be more.

00:36Got to talk about Kamala Harris.

00:38Obviously, the far right has come after you, saying you're friends with her.

00:42So the debate was biased.

00:43What do you say to that?

00:45Um, you know, I really don't want to dignify it with much of a response.

00:52I have the highest regard for everyone at ABC News.

00:55It's the most professional organization, the most top-notch journalists.

01:00And it doesn't really dignify much of a response.

01:05How does the election affect Hollywood, depending on who wins?

01:10Well, right now I'm more in the mindset of who will win than thinking about what the aftermath will be.

01:17I'm very optimistic that we're all going to find ourselves in a good place.

01:20And I know in terms of the industry, that's where we're moving.

01:24Tonight's a great celebration of so much amazing work that's been done.

01:28And I just want to be present in the moment.
