Summary

Allison Janney (Academy Award, Emmys, SAG awards winner from Mom, The West Wing, Juno, I, Tonya, The Help) joins us from her cozy home to chat about how she never thought West Wing would become such a sensation and how the messages are now more prevalent than ever. She teaches us so many lessons through her work (without knowing it because she is the humblest human we’ve ever met).

Allison shares the purpose behind her role on her hit sitcom, Mom. We talk about falling (literally) and getting back up better and stronger, what sparks the feeling of HOME and using our voices for good.

Be sure to watch “A West Wing Special to Benefit When We All Vote” on October 15th on HBO Max.

The highly anticipated reunion was created to raise awareness for and support the vital mission of When We All Vote, a non-profit, nonpartisan organization co-chaired by Michelle Obama, to increase participation in every election in America.

0:00.0	Hello everyone. Welcome to At Home with Linda and Drew Scott. Happy Tuesday, everyone. It's a great Tuesday. We have an
0:05.8	amazing guest this week. We always have amazing guests and I'm so excited about today's. She's a seven-time
0:11.3	primetime Emmy winner and she's one of our favorite actresses, Alice and Janney. She is, I'm such a huge
0:18.7	fan of her. We just rewatched Juno recently. Yeah, she also, by the way, anybody who's a West Wing fan, you're going to be excited. HBO Max has a West Wing special coming October 15th. And it's partnered with Michelle Obama's When We All Vote, which is pretty cool. Encouraging everyone to use their voice. We all have a voice and need to use it.
0:36.8	Mm-hmm. And Allison does just that. She uses her voice to inspire others to act, to vote, and to help
0:44.6	animals. She is an animal lover. And she's got three cute little pups. We talked about what sparks
0:52.2	the feeling of home for her. Mm-hmm, which was really cool to hear.
0:55.8	What sparks the feeling of home for you?
0:57.4	When I think of home, like fond memories, I think of sliding down the stairs in laundry baskets or on like mattress topers.
1:04.9	Mattress.
1:05.3	Oh, topers, yeah, the thin mattresses.
1:07.1	Yeah, like just rolling ourselves up into a burrito and sliding down the stairs.
1:10.7	Oh, my gosh, we love that.
1:11.5	I think all kids love that except for our parents had really flimsy laundry baskets.
1:16.5	And so when we were trying to use them, one, they would just break.
1:18.7	And two, I would kill my tailbone.
1:20.7	So I would like...
1:21.2	You got out of pillow.
1:21.8	I would strap pillows onto my butt so that I didn't hurt my butt. Why didn't you just strap the pillows to the, to the laundry basket, like to pad
1:33.8	underneath? That makes too much sense. Or I could just sit the pillow on the bottom of the
1:38.0	laundry basket. Yeah. I'm not that smart, okay? And I wasn't as a kid, and that was just last
1:43.1	week.
