00:00So we're at the Emmy's celebrating so many iconic TV characters, you are one yourself,
00:04but who would you say is your favorite TV character of all time?
00:07Oh my god.
00:09Yeah, it's a good one.
00:11Oh jeez, okay, I do love Claire Huxtable.
00:14I love Phylicia Rashad so much.
00:17I also love the Brady Bunch.
00:19I mean like, this is old school.
00:20I'm really dating myself.
00:21Such a good answer though.
00:22I know, I know, but like more recently like I'm a huge fan of Friends as well.
00:28Matthew Perry is one of my heroes.
00:30You know, I'm happy.
00:33It's such an honor to be like even listed on these iconic TV character lists with these people.
00:38So it's amazing.
00:39Great answers.
00:39And speaking of your show, Modern Family and your co-star Sophia Griselda and her nomination
00:45for such a series.
00:45How was it working with her and how was it to see her get the success for this show?
00:48Well, Sophia's been talking about Griselda literally for 10 years.
00:52Like she would come into the makeup trailer talking about the show.
00:54And so the fact that it finally happened and then it was so good and then she was so
00:58incredible in it and now she's nominated for an Emmy and I'm going to be sitting behind her
01:03tonight.
01:04It just feels very cool.
01:04Being the biggest cheerleader?
01:05Oh my god, yes.
01:07If you think for a split second I did not vote for Sophia, you're sadly mistaken.
01:12There was a lot of really incredible people on that list, but I was like, how can I not?
01:15How can I not?
01:16She's incredible.
01:17And then what are you watching right now that you're excited to come back?
01:20Well, I love The Bear as does everyone.
01:22I love Abbott Elementary.
01:24I'm a big fan of RuPaul's Drag Race.
01:26I see a lot of drag queens on this carpet and I'm very excited.
01:28They killed it, by the way.
01:29They just slayed it.
01:29Oh, of course they did.
01:30They know what they're doing.
01:32They're not screwing around.
01:35I'm also a big Survivor fan, so always happy for a new season of Survivor.
01:40And lastly, if you could work with any musician on a television project, who would it be?
01:44Oh gosh, I really love John Legend.
01:46Oh, great answer.
01:47You're killing it.
01:48I just need you to produce everything.
01:50How about that?
01:51Perfect.
