Speaker 1 (00:11):
Well, well, well, well, Lomore and Morris, this.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Is a very special episode of the Loft Meeting because
you are no longer just Lomore and Morris. You are
Emmy swinning Lamour and Morris.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Where my sunglasses? Hold on? Come on, put them on?
Big time?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Is all?
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Let's go.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
You love me, you really really love me.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I honestly lobourne lomourne. Okay, I have so many questions.
I just saw you last week and I was there
and got to talk to you about it and give
you a hug. Immediately cried, held your Emmy, it's real,
(01:08):
real heavy. By the way, I have no idea, like
it's did it shock you when they handed it to
you and you're like this has got some weight. I
was not prepared.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Yeah, I just assumed it would be a little bit
more hollow. Yeah, it's this thing is solid. He this
thing is solid. It's half danger these points on the end.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Like I remember calling you when you got nominated and
I was sobbing because I was like, this is so huge,
this is massive and overdue and so earned. Real talk
was like, on a scale of one to ten, what
did you think your chances were for actually winning?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Very low? Very, very low, just because you know, Robert
Downey Junior. I just thought he's so He's one of
my favorite actors of all time. He's definitely in my
top five. So like, I have a poster of this
man in my house, a framed picture of him from
(02:13):
Tropic Thunder, because I think that's the greatest comedic performance
of all time, if not, if not one of them.
But so I you know, I thought like, oh, yeah,
and he's so great the on the sympathizer. So I
was like, oh, Robert Downey Junior or Johnathan Bailey, I thought,
might maybe you know, fellow travelers. I was like, you know,
it was hard for me to imagine a world in
(02:36):
which I would win in that category because everybody's so great,
but you know I did, and I'm not sorry about it,
but but I'm still in shock because I mean, I
guess that's how everyone feels when they win, unless you're
on the bear. You know, I think you just the bear.
(02:56):
They just clean up, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Shows you're just like, just give it to them. Why
are we all here?
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Yeah? Yeah, we all it's appointment television. We get it.
But but you know, I could imagine everyone has that feeling.
Everyone has that, especially if there is any level of
humility in you. You know, you're looking at your competition like, hey,
the goal was the nomination. I already won. So since
I got nominated, I'm ay, that's it, you know what
(03:26):
I mean. I'm forever going to be Emmy nominated actor,
you know, which is great. But Emmy winner is a
little different, different all games.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Does it feel different? Like, do you feel different now
as an actor in this town?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Slightly? Slightly. I just don't want it to change my
approach to how I've been going about my business, you
know what I mean. I hopefully it just means the
opportunities come easier, quicker, you know what I mean. And
so then then I'll have more career free them where
I can choose and pick and really carve out and
(04:03):
sculpt the way I want to go.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
The power of right. When you get more opportunities, you
get to exercise the power of no and curate your
path a little bit more. But you can't do that
if you've got only one opportunity coming at You got to.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Say yes, yeah, one gig comes a year, you got
to do it, that's right. And so yeah, that's The
only way it feels different, you know, is I can
you know, I can. I can tell by press, you know,
all the interviews. I'm also simultaneously doing press for my
movie that comes out soon called Saturday Night, and so
(04:41):
there's a lot of talk around it. So I'm about
the Emmy. When we do these screenings and stuff, they'll
introduce the cast and they'll say an Emmy winner a
little more and Morris, and I'm like, that feels so weird.
That doesn't wild.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Though, because here's the thing. You you you know, it's
a movie that you're in about a TV show. Oh yeah, right,
you know, and you're this you just won an Emmy
for a TV show. It's those those weird little layers
of things. Yeah, Like it lends itself like it's yeah
in the wild.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Yeah, it's it's so far it hasn't really registered. I think.
I think. I think once, you know, the press slows
down and you know, and I get a chance to
just be and exist and go do regular stuff again
in a way where it's like, oh, I have a
week off or have a week with nothing on the schedule,
like a full seven days, Oh what are we going
to do? Lily I don't know, go to the park.
(05:34):
We got our we don't doesn't matter what we do.
We could go do whatever we want. Then I'll start
to feel it a little bit more when I have
that time to sit there and breathe. But right now,
it's just work, work, work, work work.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
When I saw you at your place last week, you
said something to me that's really stuck with me. You said,
this kind of feels like this is for a new girl.
What did that mean? What was that? Well?
Speaker 3 (05:58):
I like to believe that we busted our asses on
that show, and we never got the besides season one,
where Max and Zoe were both nominated, but besides that,
the show itself, the show itself never got nominated, which
was crazy to me because till this day, the fans
(06:21):
still regarded as one of the best comedies they've seen.
And I'm talking now, we're still still doing really well
on streamers and we've been off the air for a
long time, and people consider this a new show. To
a lot of folks, it's a very new show. And
to think, you know, when you look back at when
you look back at all the work we put in,
(06:44):
you know, I felt like this is a part of
this had something to do with the fans of New Girl,
Like any of the Emmy voters that may have seen
my work on the show, we're probably like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
And especially because this character Wit far from Fargo, is
a complete departure from anything anyone's ever seen me do.
(07:07):
Watching Wit versus Winston, two completely different characters with different
sets of beliefs, all that they go about things in
a completely opposite way. And I feel like that that
resonated with voters.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Yeah, it's a body of work, then, right, they get
to look at a body of work. And New Girl
was such a brilliantly written show and gave so many
opportunities right to really show character work because we got
to do it for so long that yes, then all
of a sudden you come out and then crush it
on a drama. Right then all of a sudden people
go like wow, like that's range and an actor. But
(07:45):
that's because they have the bookend on the other side, right, yeah. Yeah,
And New Girl came out in such a weird time
because it was the ending kind of of Modern Family,
which was like an award show, sweet heart, and it
was also the introduction of letting these kind of like
(08:06):
dramedies enter into the comedy category. So all of a sudden,
we were up against girls and Orange is the New Black,
which had a different kind of performance, and so New
Girl all of a sudden, couldn't you know there was
no space for us in those categories anymore. The classic
sitcom kind of got pushed out. And yeah, we were
(08:30):
doing real work and great work, and it kind of
just it never made it into like that awards circuit.
And it was I mean, the level of text and
love I feel like, from like the New Girl cast writers,
a whole new chain started. Text thread chain started. Yeah,
right after we all saw you win, and everyone was
(08:50):
real emotional, like I know who called you. I feel
like a bunch of people all of a sudden had
to call you immediately.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah. It was hard immediately because I
still haven't got this is crazy. I still haven't returned
all the text messages yet. Sure there were I thought
were like six hundred text something text messages that I
turned my other phone on, and there were like maybe
like seven hundred.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Get out.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
I was like damn like and so I spent days
going through it and texting people back and copying and
paint because it's like the same, like I can't possibly
have a long conversation about it, you know, And some
people understood. Some people were like, don't even respond. I
just want to say congratulations, Oh, thank you, thank you
for that, because it's a lot of messages and and
(09:34):
I don't want anybody to feel like I didn't, like
I'm intentionally like just ignoring. I'm not. I just haven't
gotten to them all yet. And they were all sent
over the course of two weeks. You know, they're still
coming in, and I pat I owe you a call.
I'm calling you soon.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I feel like you had that moment even in your speech. Yeah,
did you write a speech out? Did you write something
down before you went up?
Speaker 3 (09:59):
No? Oh?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
All.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
I mean I like improvising, so I like being more
in the moment. However, I didn't think I was gonna win,
so I was like, why would I go up there
and write some sort of speech about following your dreams
and doing all this, you know, make sure to vote
and do I don't know whatever people talk about their speeches.
I was like, I don't I'm not that person and
(10:22):
I'm not gonna win, so there's no need to spend
all my energy like working on this speech. And to
be quite honest with you, like I said, I was
doing press, I was filming. I didn't have time. I
didn't have time to like sit back. I was traveling
a lot back and forth Toronto, New York, like it
was all over the place. So I was like, man,
when do I When I'm on the plane, I'm trying
(10:42):
to like think of stuff, And the only thing I
could think I was just don't forget anybody's name. Don't
forget the names that you're supposed to, you know, remember.
And then I ended up forgetting that.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Well, it's a lot of people, right when you actually
up there and you have this opportunity on the biggest
stage you've ever stood on lobally, Yeah, all of a sudden,
it's a lot of people that helped get you there. Yeah,
that you want to be able to recognize and shine
a light on I'm sure. I mean I don't know,
but I'm sure no that.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
I mean, listen, no one gets to no one gets
to these places alone. And so I mean that's there's
an entire I wanted to thank every director I ever
worked with, you know what I mean. I wanted to
thank all the actors that I've ever like you guys,
I want to. I literally was going to go up
there and start thanking the New Girl cast, do it
(11:35):
like a whole bit. But I was like, then I'll
alienate my Fargo cast.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
I was like, wait, weren't you in the audience. Where
didn't you tell me this that you were actually preparing
to do a bit, which is why you actually got
thrown when they said your name.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Yeah, I was my plan. You know. Everyone I talked to,
including Max. Max was like, just work on your loser face.
And somebody else told me that too. Maybe it was
Sean Clifford from Fleabag I forget. So multiple people told
me that, though, work on your loser face. Okay, So
(12:12):
so I was working on that, and my loser face
wasn't going to be like oh that's exciting, that's happy,
Like oh no, my loser face was I'm gonna curse
out the cameraman like I'm gonna act like I'm gonna
act like this is such a travesty. I'm not gonna
Kanye and run on stage, but I will be like,
you know, like grabbing the lens and go. I was
(12:33):
gonna like do that, and why when I was about
to put my hand up and be like, they called
my name and I just went.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
WHOA, I saw you were tracked into yourself.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Yes, because it hit me. I still think about that
and I get a little at most of it. I'm like,
oh God, that moment when she said my name, I
just was like, what you know? My mom was there.
It was such a it was it was a perfect,
a perfect evening. It was a pretty pretty damn good evening.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I can't imagine walking around those parties afterwards holding the Emmy.
I mean, this is an industry right where we're basically
just hoping to be picked all the time. Please we
really want this role, we really want this opportunity. Please,
we're gonna try our hardest. Please pick us. I mean,
that's just the truth. It's the underbelly of so much
of it, right, for so long, right, and here you have,
(13:34):
you know, so many wonderful influential people in this town
being like, man, you just did the best job, and
you get to walk around and everybody goes like, yeah
you did, you did an incredible job, and you get
to sit in that moment for it's just it's I
can't imagine that feeling.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
It's you will, you will?
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Oh yeah, so many things, you know me, I'm a
home by so many things. I lived vicariously through you.
This one was a really really cool one. It's so funny.
I was so proud of you, for one, not only
getting nominated, about how you handled that nomination, how you
spoke on it. And I know it was so genuine
that you just appreciated being seen for this really you know,
(14:18):
challenging role. And I did not have my TV on.
Things were a little chaotic at my house that night.
I did not have my TV on, and I was
thinking about you, and I sent you a text right
that just said, you know, I know, I love you,
and I'm so proud of you, and I'm so inspired
by you, and I'm just so happy for you. And
(14:42):
I think it was I don't know whatever the time
stamp on It was like six thirty two or something,
which is like when you were on stage winning. Yeah,
And then I sent that text to you, and about
ten seconds later, I honest to god, I should screen
grab it. I honestly I probably got sick sixty texts
(15:02):
from like old hairdressers, I've used, makeup artists, I've used
anybody that had my number that like loves the show
New Girl and loves you were texting me like I
was your mom, you know, being like, oh my dad,
And then I dropped my phone started crying and I
was like, I had no idea. It was so powerful
(15:24):
for all of us that you know, love you so
deeply and have championed like you for so long, and
to see everybody recognize it, it was beautiful. Man, it
was a beautiful for everybody. It's a crazy thing to
see how that when that happens, everybody got such a
huge lift that night from you winning. Like even talking
to your mom, she was in tears.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
My mom was in tears. You know, she this is
this is I mean, this is as important to her
as it is to me, you know, because you know
I am. You know, my mom's kids are her prizes.
And then when they are happy, and you know she's
happy when they're successful, she feels successful. And so you know,
(16:07):
it's like it's like she truly feels what I feel
at times, you know what I mean, even when I'm
like going through it like emotionally or physically or health wise,
whatever it is, it could be nothing like it could
literally be like nothing. My mom is like emotional about it.
She's like trying to you know, so this a victory
like this is it's pretty cool for her. It's cool
(16:30):
for me, but it's it's cool for her as well,
and answer the whole family. You know, it's exciting, definitely exciting.
I'll tell you. I walked them to go back to
one of your earlier points. I when you leave there,
they give you this massive box before you leave, you know,
it's like, hey, do you want to put your e
mey in this big box? And I'm like, this is
(16:51):
the big black box with like cushions on the inside
and it's like a case with a lock on it whatever.
And I was like, I'm not about to walk around
with a massive but now got to use two hands
to carry on this box all day at these parties,
I was like, no, I'm gonna keep this trophy man.
And it worked out because one of the after parties
was at it was Taikawa and Rita Aura were throwing
a party right now. I did not have an invite
(17:14):
to this house party gathering. So I was just like,
you know, but I want to go. I'm gonna you know,
I'm gonna I'm gonna check it out as he was
he was happening, but I didn't have an invite, and
I had five people with me, like all my friends
met up with me after the Emmys and we like
you know, piled in the suv and we're like we
mobbing out. So we went to a couple parties and
(17:35):
then we ended up someone gave me the address of
Taika's place and uh, and we get there and the
security asked the driver. He's like, what are you having there?
And he was like, h Lamar and Morris And he
goes back and looks at a little clipboard and comes
back and was like, sorry, now I'm on the list.
He's like, you can pull a U turn and you
can head back out towards sunset, like pretty much telling
him how to leave. And I was like, hold on,
hold on, hold on, wait buddy. Kyle was like, just
(17:58):
get out, just get out and me first. So there's
paparazzi outside of the house, like get out, Emmy first,
and paparazzi start taking photos the more and the more,
a little more, and because of that, Scary was like
oh yeah, yeah, yeah, y'all.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Come on in, come on get out.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Yeah, I was like, oh, I think I'm about to
go to the mall.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
I mean privilege. You knew there's a no whole category
of privilege, emmy privilege.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
I'll accept it for as long as they're willing to
give it to me. This doesn't happen often, who knows,
you know, knock on wood. I pray that I'm you know,
always doing work that people you know appreciate, and you know,
in this manner, it's great. It doesn't have to be this,
but it's it's really appreciated. But I just want to
keep doing good stuff here people find entertaining and amusing
(18:45):
or you know, tier jerking whatever it is. But this
might be the only this might be the only one.
I don't I don't I want more. But if this
is the only one, I'm gonna I'm gonna. I'm gonna
ride this way for ever we're about to. I'm gonna
see what I can get because they don't give me
no damn gift bag. I didn't go to a gift
(19:06):
in suite either, so I'm pissed off about that.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Like I want that free trip down to the Caribbe.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Yeah, they had an Africa trip. They had a Turkey trip.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Get out.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Yeah, you need to go.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
You need to retroactively find your way, get your people
to call those people. You need to figure that out.
I've said this before, I will say it again. You
are a quarter of the way there. Got you know,
you know all that's gonna I see it. I'm telling

thing is solid. It's half danger these points on the end.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Like I remember calling you when you got nominated and
I was sobbing because I was like, this is so huge,
this is massive and overdue and so earned. Real talk
was like, on a scale of one to ten, what
did you think your chances were for actually winning?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Very low? Very, very low, just because you know, Robert
Downey Junior. I just thought he's so He's one of
my favorite actors of all time. He's definitely in my
top five. So like, I have a poster of this
man in my house, a framed picture of him from

Tropic Thunder, because I think that's the greatest comedic performance
of all time, if not, if not one of them.
But so I you know, I thought like, oh, yeah,

like a full seven days, Oh what are we going
to do? Lily I don't know, go to the park.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
When I saw you at your place last week, you
said something to me that's really stuck with me. You said,
this kind of feels like this is for a new girl.
What did that mean? What was that? Well?
Speaker 3 (05:58):
I like to believe that we busted our asses on
that show, and we never got the besides season one,
where Max and Zoe were both nominated, but besides that,
the show itself, the show itself never got nominated, which
was crazy to me because till this day, the fans
(06:21):
still regarded as one of the best comedies they've seen.
And I'm talking now, we're still still doing really well
on streamers and we've been off the air for a
long time, and people consider this a new show. To
a lot of folks, it's a very new show. And
to think, you know, when you look back at when
you look back at all the work we put in,
(06:44):
you know, I felt like this is a part of
this had something to do with the fans of New Girl,
Like any of the Emmy voters that may have seen
my work on the show, we're probably like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
And especially because this character Wit far from Fargo, is
a complete departure from anything anyone's ever seen me do.
(07:07):
Watching Wit versus Winston, two completely different characters with different
sets of beliefs, all that they go about things in
a completely opposite way. And I feel like that that
resonated with voters.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Yeah, it's a body of work, then, right, they get
to look at a body of work. And New Girl
was such a brilliantly written show and gave so many
opportunities right to really show character work because we got
to do it for so long that yes, then all
of a sudden you come out and then crush it
on a drama. Right then all of a sudden people
go like wow, like that's range and an actor. But
(07:45):
that's because they have the bookend on the other side, right, yeah. Yeah,
And New Girl came out in such a weird time
because it was the ending kind of of Modern Family,
which was like an award show, sweet heart, and it
was also the introduction of letting these kind of like
(08:06):
dramedies enter into the comedy category. So all of a sudden,
we were up against girls and Orange is the New Black,
which had a different kind of performance, and so New
Girl all of a sudden, couldn't you know there was
no space for us in those categories anymore. The classic
sitcom kind of got pushed out. And yeah, we were
(08:30):
doing real work and great work, and it kind of
just it never made it into like that awards circuit.
And it was I mean, the level of text and
love I feel like, from like the New Girl cast writers,
a whole new chain started. Text thread chain started. Yeah,
right after we all saw you win, and everyone was
(08:50):
real emotional, like I know who called you. I feel
like a bunch of people all of a sudden had
to call you immediately.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah. It was hard immediately because I
still haven't got this is crazy. I still haven't returned
all the text messages yet. Sure there were I thought
were like six hundred text something text messages that I
turned my other phone on, and there were like maybe
like seven hundred.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Get out.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
I was like damn like and so I spent days
going through it and texting people back and copying and
paint because it's like the same, like I can't possibly
have a long conversation about it, you know, And some
people understood. Some people were like, don't even respond. I
just want to say congratulations, Oh, thank you, thank you
for that, because it's a lot of messages and and
(09:34):
I don't want anybody to feel like I didn't, like
I'm intentionally like just ignoring. I'm not. I just haven't
gotten to them all yet. And they were all sent
over the course of two weeks. You know, they're still
coming in, and I pat I owe you a call.
I'm calling you soon.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I feel like you had that moment even in your speech. Yeah,
did you write a speech out? Did you write something
down before you went up?
Speaker 3 (09:59):
No? Oh?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
All.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
I mean I like improvising, so I like being more
in the moment. However, I didn't think I was gonna win,
so I was like, why would I go up there
and write some sort of speech about following your dreams
and doing all this, you know, make sure to vote
and do I don't know whatever people talk about their speeches.
I was like, I don't I'm not that person and
(10:22):
I'm not gonna win, so there's no need to spend
all my energy like working on this speech. And to
be quite honest with you, like I said, I was
doing press, I was filming. I didn't have time. I
didn't have time to like sit back. I was traveling
a lot back and forth Toronto, New York, like it
was all over the place. So I was like, man,
when do I When I'm on the plane, I'm trying
(10:42):
to like think of stuff, And the only thing I
could think I was just don't forget anybody's name. Don't
forget the names that you're supposed to, you know, remember.
And then I ended up forgetting that.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Well, it's a lot of people, right when you actually
up there and you have this opportunity on the biggest
stage you've ever stood on lobally, Yeah, all of a sudden,
it's a lot of people that helped get you there. Yeah,
that you want to be able to recognize and shine
a light on I'm sure. I mean I don't know,
but I'm sure no that.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
I mean, listen, no one gets to no one gets
to these places alone. And so I mean that's there's
an entire I wanted to thank every director I ever
worked with, you know what I mean. I wanted to
thank all the actors that I've ever like you guys,
I want to. I literally was going to go up
there and start thanking the New Girl cast, do it
(11:35):
like a whole bit. But I was like, then I'll
alienate my Fargo cast.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
I was like, wait, weren't you in the audience. Where
didn't you tell me this that you were actually preparing
to do a bit, which is why you actually got
thrown when they said your name.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Yeah, I was my plan. You know. Everyone I talked to,
including Max. Max was like, just work on your loser face.
And somebody else told me that too. Maybe it was
Sean Clifford from Fleabag I forget. So multiple people told
me that, though, work on your loser face. Okay, So
(12:12):
so I was working on that, and my loser face
wasn't going to be like oh that's exciting, that's happy,
Like oh no, my loser face was I'm gonna curse
out the cameraman like I'm gonna act like I'm gonna
act like this is such a travesty. I'm not gonna
Kanye and run on stage, but I will be like,
you know, like grabbing the lens and go. I was
(12:33):
gonna like do that, and why when I was about
to put my hand up and be like, they called
my name and I just went.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
WHOA, I saw you were tracked into yourself.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Yes, because it hit me. I still think about that
and I get a little at most of it. I'm like,
oh God, that moment when she said my name, I
just was like, what you know? My mom was there.
It was such a it was it was a perfect,
a perfect evening. It was a pretty pretty damn good evening.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I can't imagine walking around those parties afterwards holding the Emmy.
I mean, this is an industry right where we're basically
just hoping to be picked all the time. Please we
really want this role, we really want this opportunity. Please,
we're gonna try our hardest. Please pick us. I mean,
that's just the truth. It's the underbelly of so much
of it, right, for so long, right, and here you have,
(13:34):
you know, so many wonderful influential people in this town
being like, man, you just did the best job, and
you get to walk around and everybody goes like, yeah
you did, you did an incredible job, and you get
to sit in that moment for it's just it's I
can't imagine that feeling.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
It's you will, you will?
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Oh yeah, so many things, you know me, I'm a
home by so many things. I lived vicariously through you.
This one was a really really cool one. It's so funny.
I was so proud of you, for one, not only
getting nominated, about how you handled that nomination, how you
spoke on it. And I know it was so genuine
that you just appreciated being seen for this really you know,
(14:18):
challenging role. And I did not have my TV on.
Things were a little chaotic at my house that night.
I did not have my TV on, and I was
thinking about you, and I sent you a text right
that just said, you know, I know, I love you,
and I'm so proud of you, and I'm so inspired
by you, and I'm just so happy for you. And
(14:42):
I think it was I don't know whatever the time
stamp on It was like six thirty two or something,
which is like when you were on stage winning. Yeah,
And then I sent that text to you, and about
ten seconds later, I honest to god, I should screen
grab it. I honestly I probably got sick sixty texts
(15:02):
from like old hairdressers, I've used, makeup artists, I've used
anybody that had my number that like loves the show
New Girl and loves you were texting me like I
was your mom, you know, being like, oh my dad,
And then I dropped my phone started crying and I
was like, I had no idea. It was so powerful
(15:24):
for all of us that you know, love you so
deeply and have championed like you for so long, and
to see everybody recognize it, it was beautiful. Man, it
was a beautiful for everybody. It's a crazy thing to
see how that when that happens, everybody got such a
huge lift that night from you winning. Like even talking
to your mom, she was in tears.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
My mom was in tears. You know, she this is
this is I mean, this is as important to her
as it is to me, you know, because you know
I am. You know, my mom's kids are her prizes.
And then when they are happy, and you know she's
happy when they're successful, she feels successful. And so you know,
(16:07):
it's like it's like she truly feels what I feel
at times, you know what I mean, even when I'm
like going through it like emotionally or physically or health wise,
whatever it is, it could be nothing like it could
literally be like nothing. My mom is like emotional about it.
She's like trying to you know, so this a victory
like this is it's pretty cool for her. It's cool
(16:30):
for me, but it's it's cool for her as well,
and answer the whole family. You know, it's exciting, definitely exciting.
I'll tell you. I walked them to go back to
one of your earlier points. I when you leave there,
they give you this massive box before you leave, you know,
it's like, hey, do you want to put your e
mey in this big box? And I'm like, this is
(16:51):
the big black box with like cushions on the inside
and it's like a case with a lock on it whatever.
And I was like, I'm not about to walk around
with a massive but now got to use two hands
to carry on this box all day at these parties,
I was like, no, I'm gonna keep this trophy man.
And it worked out because one of the after parties
was at it was Taikawa and Rita Aura were throwing
a party right now. I did not have an invite
(17:14):
to this house party gathering. So I was just like,
you know, but I want to go. I'm gonna you know,
I'm gonna I'm gonna check it out as he was
he was happening, but I didn't have an invite, and
I had five people with me, like all my friends
met up with me after the Emmys and we like
you know, piled in the suv and we're like we
mobbing out. So we went to a couple parties and
(17:35):
then we ended up someone gave me the address of
Taika's place and uh, and we get there and the
security asked the driver. He's like, what are you having there?
And he was like, h Lamar and Morris And he
goes back and looks at a little clipboard and comes
back and was like, sorry, now I'm on the list.
He's like, you can pull a U turn and you
can head back out towards sunset, like pretty much telling
him how to leave. And I was like, hold on,
hold on, hold on, wait buddy. Kyle was like, just
(17:58):
get out, just get out and me first. So there's
paparazzi outside of the house, like get out, Emmy first,
and paparazzi start taking photos the more and the more,
a little more, and because of that, Scary was like
oh yeah, yeah, yeah, y'all.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Come on in, come on get out.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Yeah, I was like, oh, I think I'm about to
go to the mall.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
I mean privilege. You knew there's a no whole category
of privilege, emmy privilege.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
I'll accept it for as long as they're willing to
give it to me. This doesn't happen often, who knows,
you know, knock on wood. I pray that I'm you know,
always doing work that people you know appreciate, and you know,
in this manner, it's great. It doesn't have to be this,
but it's it's really appreciated. But I just want to
keep doing good stuff here people find entertaining and amusing
(18:45):
or you know, tier jerking whatever it is. But this
might be the only this might be the only one.
I don't I don't I want more. But if this
is the only one, I'm gonna I'm gonna. I'm gonna
ride this way for ever we're about to. I'm gonna
see what I can get because they don't give me
no damn gift bag. I didn't go to a gift
(19:06):
in suite either, so I'm pissed off about that.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Like I want that free trip down to the Caribbe.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Yeah, they had an Africa trip. They had a Turkey trip.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Get out.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Yeah, you need to go.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
You need to retroactively find your way, get your people
to call those people. You need to figure that out.
I've said this before, I will say it again. You
are a quarter of the way there. Got you know,
you know all that's gonna I see it. I'm telling
