00:00All right, where's the gadgets?
00:01It's pretty much just me, my whole thing.
00:04I was the guy.
00:05Oh.
00:07Just shouting out the news services, McClatchy.
00:10Everyone, come on out.
00:12Yes.
00:12Hello.
00:13Bustle.
00:14Bustle's in the house.
00:15Oh, yes, yes.
00:18Keep hyping them up.
00:20Who else wants a shout-out?
00:23Raise your hand if you want a shout-out from Colton and Neil.
00:26We got Bustle.
00:27We got BBC.
00:29BBC, baby.
00:34Wait, Matt.
00:35No, no, no.
00:38Yeah.
00:40We'd like to start with a small shanty called...
00:46Oh, no, that was a joke.
00:47Sorry.
00:47First question.
00:48All right, we'll start with the BBC right on the right-hand side over here.
00:51Yes.
00:54So, congratulations.
00:56I just want to check in with you guys to see how tonight is going to bring even more popularity
01:02to the show and what your reaction is going to be.
01:04If you thought you were already big, it's going to get even bigger.
01:10That is exciting and terrifying.
01:13It's sort of like, is it the definition of a sleeper hit, and are you prepared for that?
01:16No, you know, one thing I meant to thank in the speech, I should have...
01:20There are so many people that spread the word early on.
01:24Like, you know, all the people online talking about it, whether it's reviewers or, you know,
01:28people just tweeting about it.
01:30But truly, like, that really got the word spread, and we're so grateful to them.
01:36They were predominantly our parents.
01:38Yeah.
01:39Very happy.
01:40And some burner accounts.
01:41Yes.
01:42Go right ahead for Bustle over here.
01:44Okay.
01:45Congratulations.
01:46Bye.
01:47So, my question is actually for Katie.
01:49Okay, going from dressing up as the Babadook to winning the most Emmys for a comedy series,
01:55how does it feel?
01:57It's crazy.
01:58It's definitely...
01:59When I was sitting there in that costume, watching an entire movie of a group of people,
02:02I did not think that this moment would happen.
02:07But, no.
02:08And honestly, I couldn't figure out a dress for a while, and if I couldn't,
02:11I would have just dressed up as the Babadook, but doubled down.
02:15Or if not that, I was going to hire a contortionist to climb the stage if I had one,
02:20and pretend to be me.
02:21I had all sorts of ideas.
02:22But that didn't answer your question at all, and I apologize.
02:27It didn't answer your question, but welcome to the mind of Katie Dippold.
02:32Any other questions in the room?
02:36Oh, I'm sorry.
02:36Right here.
02:37Gold Derby, right in front.
02:38That was cool.
02:42Now that the first season is a certified huge success, I was wondering if there's any
02:47moments from the making of season one that you remember either filming or writing and
02:52being like, I'm not so sure about this.
02:57I mean, everything Matthew did, we're like, we don't know.
03:01You know?
03:02I'm just kidding.
03:02Honestly, every time Matthew came on set, everyone was giddy with excitement.
03:06He does not like it when we say nice things about him.
03:09He gets embarrassed.
03:09But I feel like we're constantly feeling it out.
03:13Like, me and Hero don't always talk about it with something, we just, it was always feeling
03:17it out.
03:18Like, with the cast, with the writers, with the crew.
03:20I do have a very vivid memory where there was a day we were shooting episode eight with
03:26Andy DeYoung, and he was shooting Cato Flynn walking afraid in the hallway.
03:31And at the same time, Hero and Christian and Matthew were just outside shooting a massive
03:38storm.
03:38And this was happening at the same time.
03:41I was like, this is madness.
03:43But yeah, that's my most vivid memory.
03:46We'll do a couple of Zoom questions to wrap it up.
03:49Maggie Lovett from Collider.
03:51Go ahead, Maggie.
03:52Oh, I'm sorry.
03:55Oh.
03:55Go right ahead.
03:56I'm sorry.
03:56Go ahead.
03:57That's okay.
03:57It's fine.
03:59I was gonna say, the amount of hardware on the stage right now would probably sink the
04:03boat that takes you to Widow's Bay.
04:06What are you guys planning to do?
04:07Where are they going?
04:07Matthew, you have a couple tonight.
04:09Jeff, you have one from last year.
04:10Where are your trophies going?
04:13Well, if I could just say, I don't know if you remember the original, one of the original
04:17Moby Dick's with Gregory Peck, where he nails the silver doubloon to the mast and says,
04:22the silver doubloon goes to the first man who spots the white whale.
04:27Katie Dippold on the first day of filming said, if we don't win enough Emmys to sink
04:31a fucking ship.
04:33And that's all she said.
04:35And then I left and he hasn't seen me since.
04:38Until now.
04:40That was my vivid memory.
04:44Okay.
04:44Any other questions in the room before we go to Zoom?
04:47No?
04:47Okay.
04:48Maggie Levin from Collider.
04:49Do you want to go right ahead?
04:51Hello.
04:53Congratulations to all of you.
04:55Oh, am I the voice of God?
04:56Yes, it's terrifying.
05:00Well, I wanted to ask you, Matthew, I feel like the trajectory for the show really took
05:05off with audiences, with your Charlie Chaplin-esque moment on the ship falling off the little seat.
05:14How does it feel to know from that moment to here just how big Widow's Bay has grown
05:20and all of the hardware, like you said, standing up there on stage with you?
05:26Not to disparage what you've said, but personally, I feel prior to that it was on a giddy ascent.
05:33But to be perfectly honest, when I think I can speak on behalf of the cast, when we read
05:39these scripts for the first time, we had that feeling.
05:42And I think we knew that, not necessarily for hardware, but these were scripts we wanted
05:49to do for the sole reason.
05:50They entertained us and made us laugh, and we wanted to know what happened next.
05:56Sorry, what was the question again?
05:58Oh, just the overwhelming kind of like reaction to Widow's Bay.
06:03It just feels like every week when the show was coming out, it was just growing and growing,
06:06and now look at all of you.
06:07I honestly think, you know, I think we're just happy that everyone reacted to the scripts
06:14the way we did when we read them.
06:16And that's all thanks to this genius.
06:19And this wonderful writer's room up here, too.
06:23Our writer's room is dope!
06:26It really is.
06:29Oh, yo, for sure.
06:30And our final question of the night from Navelle Lee from The Buzz.
06:33Go ahead, Navelle.
06:36Oh, this is bad.
06:37I'm the last one.
06:38This has to be really good.
06:39Good luck, good luck.
06:40I didn't get a shout-out, though, so I can't really say much.
06:46Congratulations, again, on everything.
06:47And I feel so vindicated being a Steven, a Steven Roof fan from NewsRadio.
06:57So, shout-out to him for that.
06:59But my question is for Matthew, especially, because you mentioned earlier about how you
07:04were just coming off of the piece and coming back to filming with those bags.
07:07Was there something where, when you were filming the finale, you kind of went in, and the way
07:13you acted, it went, oh, I went way too harsh in this.
07:16Let me pull it back some.
07:17But then, all of a sudden, everybody was like, no, this was fucking great.
07:21Keep it.
07:24No, I leave that to Hiramurai.
07:27Although I did say, I said at the time, I was like, I thought I was signing up for a
07:30comedy.
07:31And then the finale, I was like, this is the hardest I've worked for a very long time.
07:36And it's exhausting.
07:37I even dropped Kate Callan at the time.
07:39That's not a lie, either.
07:41So, no, you know, you put your faith and your performances and all the rest in the hands
07:47of these wondrous people.
07:48And from the very beginning, we know we were in safe hands.
07:51So, that wasn't for me.
07:53That was for them.
07:53And they did it beautifully, as they always do.
07:57Congratulations, again.
07:58Thank you, guys.
07:59Thank you, guys.
08:03Matthew.
