00:00Congratulations on coming back for another hosting gig.

00:05What's the most fun part of hosting this show for you?

00:09Oh, I mean, just being handed a microphone.

00:13That's fun in and of itself, right?

00:16I think being in a room full of my peers

00:21and having spent time, you know, adjusting the creative

00:25and trying to make it perfect

00:28and trying to make it kind and happy

00:31because I'm not a person who roasts anybody

00:33or who will attack anyone with a joke.

00:36Just honestly, striving to make people giggle

00:40throughout the night.

00:41That's fun in and of itself.

00:43Yeah, I mean, that said, how do you adjust the creative

00:47or how have you guys adjust the creative

00:48given, you know, the recent devastation

00:51that we've had here with the fires?

00:53Well, honestly, that was, I was sort of in tune with that

00:57when I agreed to do this or going forward.

01:00It felt, at first glance, it felt pretty superfluous

01:03to have an award show like this.

01:05But once you think about it, you realize,

01:07wait a minute, these shows not only provide one night

01:11of normalcy and happiness for people,

01:13but they employ hundreds of people in Los Angeles

01:16that are gig workers, drivers, makeup artists,

01:19hair artists, caterers, tech workers, musicians.

01:23It's actually quite important for the economy

01:25for these shows to continue.

01:27And I think that particularly because the industry

01:31is based in Los Angeles, we have a responsibility

01:34to show up and do this show.

01:36Yeah, no, I really appreciate everything

01:38that you just said right there, 100%.

01:41Will you, I mean, I'm sure there will be some addressing

01:44of it in the room on the day, right?

01:46Yeah, I mean, I plan on it.

01:47I'll, it's, you know, it's a collaboration among everyone,

01:50but certainly we're not gonna deny that it's happened.

01:53And I hope to celebrate some of the first responders

01:57and I hope that, you know, maybe we can raise

01:59a little money for it.

02:00I am very excited that the SAG Awards

02:04makes a sizable donation to the SAG-AFTRA Foundation,

02:07which is incredibly important to the people

02:10who receive funding from that, which the ones in the room

02:14at the SAG Awards are not who is receiving benefits

02:18from the SAG-AFTRA Foundation.

02:19I think it's like, it's a misconception.

02:21It's less than 1%.

02:23The reality is there are actors throughout Los Angeles

02:27that, you know, work sometimes steadily, sometimes not,

02:30and they receive disaster relief, emergency assistant,

02:33career building classes, and those funds

02:37are really, really important.

02:38And like I said, I feel like we have a responsibility

02:41to show up.

02:42Yeah, no, again, I, dead on on all of that.

02:45I love it.

02:46I know you, unfortunately, Adam and Layton lost their home.

02:50Have you talked to Adam and Layton?

02:51How are they doing?

02:52What's the update?

02:53What do you know?

02:54They're okay.

02:55They're, I think, experiencing what everyone else

02:59in Los Angeles is experiencing, which is a bit of shock.

03:04I think that what I've seen most from people

03:08who've lost their homes,

03:08because I know quite a few people who have,

03:11it's almost like a state of paralysis, I think,

03:14because, you know, we want to say,

03:16people who didn't lose their homes want to say,

03:17what do you need?

03:18I'll help you.

03:19And the people who lost their homes are saying,

03:21I don't know.

03:22I don't know how to think about this yet.

03:25So I hope that Los Angeles is patient.

03:28And I hope that the support systems

03:31and the networks that are being created right now

03:34last for a year or maybe more,

03:37because, you know, there have been so many great

03:40outreach programs put together

03:42where people are receiving goods and services,

03:44but that doesn't need to end this month.

03:46That needs to be here for three months and six months

03:48and nine months and a year

03:50while these people rebuild

03:51and figure out where they're going to go.

03:53Yeah, and as you said,

03:54you're looking forward to bringing some light

03:55and some levity and a night of normalness

03:59to the town for, you know, at least for the night.

04:02I'm sure you know a lot of the people who are nominated.

04:05I'm sure you're fans of a lot of them,

04:07but who in particular are you looking forward

04:09to celebrating?

04:10Is there a performance or a few that you really loved?

04:13I'm an obsessive Jean Smart fan,

04:16so I'm always game to tell her how much I love her.

04:19I don't know if she enjoys that whenever I see her.

04:23I always secretly love somehow hiding in a corner

04:27with Ted Danson and just gossiping with him for the evening,

04:30which we obviously did at the Golden Globes

04:33because he's one of my favorite people.

04:35The list is endless.

04:36It's a very fun room because it's all your peers

04:39and it's a lot of like, even for actors,

04:41it's people watching.

04:43What can you tell me about season two, Nobody Wants Us?

04:46Congratulations on your nomination.

04:48I can't tell you anything.

04:50You know that.

04:51I know, but it's like in progress though.

04:54Yes, yes.

04:55It's being written right now.

04:56It's actually close to being finished.

04:58We'll start shooting the first week of March

05:00here in Los Angeles,

05:02employing Los Angeles crew workers and drivers and caterers

05:06and everyone who needs jobs here in Los Angeles.

05:08I'm very proud of that fact.

05:11And I think the writer's room this year

05:14is attempting to give the people what they want

05:18with the show.

05:18Which is, yeah.

05:19Which is another season of Nobody Wants This.

05:22I know, more and more,

05:24more hotness between you and Adam Brody.

05:28Which I gotta say, I also appreciate,

05:30I love Dax's response to all of this too.

05:34Like watching him be such a fan of you and him

05:37and your characters and their relationship.

05:39You know, were there ever moments where you were like,

05:41all right, maybe close your eyes during this moment?

05:43This scene?

05:44Oh, no, no, no.

05:45No, cause we don't,

05:46no, we root for each other.

05:48When he got to make out with Minka Kelly on Parenthood,

05:51I was like, yes!

05:53Get it!

05:55We're only human.

05:56I mean, we're married, we're not dead.

05:58But I'm very supportive of him.

06:00He's very supportive of me.

06:01And also, Adam has been one of our favorite actors,

06:05Dax and I, together for as long as I can remember.

06:08And Dax put him in Chips when he directed Chips

06:10with him and Michael Peña.

06:12And we just love what he does on camera so much.

06:16But I think Dax also, there's no real threat there

06:18because Adam and I, if you were to see us in person,

06:21there is not chemistry.

06:22We bicker all the time.

06:24We're like an old granny and grampy.

06:26Like it's not, it's not hot and heavy on set at all.

06:30But there's something that happens

06:32that this is like an X factor of some actors.

06:35When like you put the lens on them,

06:36there's just a chemistry.

06:38And Adam and I happen to have that and we will exploit it.

06:40I mean, what is the key to that?

06:42I mean, it's, I know it's work, right?

06:44I mean, that this is what you guys do,

06:46but what do you think is the key to that

06:47in your relationship?

06:48That it's like, you guys can watch each other

06:50and get psyched when you're kissing somebody else.

06:52Foundational trust.

06:55Yeah.

06:56Even if Dax hooks up with the most beautiful person

06:59in the world at work, I know he's committed to our family.

07:06I know he's coming home.

07:07I know he loves our children.

07:09I know he strives to be a great husband and father.

07:11And I think it's a level of foundational trust

07:15and also not making it such a taboo topic

07:19because we're just human, right?

07:21So maybe there could be a day where I'm like,

07:23I'm actually really nervous

07:24that you spend time with that person.

07:26And he could say, oh, okay, let's talk about it.

07:28What makes you nervous?

07:29What are you thinking?

07:31We have a very open communication.

07:35I love it, man.

07:35I appreciate you.

07:36I appreciate everything you guys are doing.

07:38And on a personal note, you won't remember this,

07:40but like, well, I guess it's six years ago

07:42before my daughter was born.

07:43You gave me a, I came up during one of our interviews

07:46and you gave me a list of books

07:48that I was about to have my first kid.

07:49You were like, I think The Happiest Baby was one.

07:52Happiest Baby on the Block.

07:53I am constantly offering unsolicited advice.

07:56No, it was amazing because I needed it.

07:58But thank you so much.

07:59It was very sweet of you.

08:01And I've always appreciated that.

08:02And how old is she now?

08:04Six and a half.

08:05Nice.

08:07Yeah, congratulations.

08:08Well, good luck during the show.

08:09We'll be rooting for you.

08:11Thank you so much.

08:13Thank you so much.
