What do you watch?

This is a big confession.

I go to a place to get a pedicure every once in a while, and they always have on one of those chef cooking shows.

Legendary.

Of Harold & Kumar? Oh, my God, yes.

It was everything...

It was quite literally everything I ever wanted in my life because I was coming off of, you know, many seasons of, uh, SVU, which is, you know, not comedic by any stretch.

And so I got to like really go crazy.

Wouldn't you agree, Christopher?

Yeah, I think every actor understood the nature of the comedy that was on the page and how they could elevate it, and I think it just stuck to their guns, which is...

Act the scene authentically, real time.

Someone mentioned John Cena sweating and she's across from him and you play the scene.

All the imaginary circumstances are right there.

The given circumstances are right

What was your experience like? Were you surprised

by how much he brought it to? No, I wasn't surprised by anything.

I don't really love to watch myself either, but why is that for you?

Uh, 'cause I think it's, um, again, the patterning that we all have.

You know, the anxiety thing we were talking about earlier.

Um, I, I think that we hold onto the things that we had, that we feel, consciously or not, or unconsciously, uh, got us to where we are.

Yeah.

And, um, I never felt that I was smart enough to follow in those footsteps and to be-- and he was a doctor, and I think he was considered a good doctor.

And so, you know, kind of linear kind of guy.

And then, you know, for me to go off the reservation, for me to, uh, you know, it was a big gamble, and there's a lot-- and I didn't-- failure was, uh-- you know, I wanna say failure wasn't an option.

Check it out.

Just calling to check in.

You seemed a little off the other night.

I know you're under a lot of pressure with the show and all, but taking care of your mental health is really important, okay? You're, you're getting to be that age where some guys snap and annihilate their whole family or whatever.

You know what? Maybe I can get you a session with my life coach, well, ex-life coach.

It, I'm basically coaching him now, and it's been amazing.

Hey, Josh, Josh, you know what? I'm fine.

Yeah.

We, um, we got to know each other on a cult classic, a film called Wet Hot American Summer, which, I- I mean, some could argue you stole that movie right from under all of these sketch little shrinky dinks you just came in-

Well, wow, you're- you're, uh, thank you.

That's- that's really sweet, 'cause I just look at the whole piece as...

You know, it- to me, it's the epitome of a cult classic.

I act- in fact, when it did not do well at the box office, I remember, you know, I'd been in the biz long enough to go, you know, "Wah-wah," that- I had a great time.

I thought it was great.

Whatever.

And so I guess, do you have a question for me today that I could ask her, that you feel like she never gets asked or that, you know, I don't know, she would like to be asked about?
