Hey, what's up? It's Gustav Ariano, and you're listening to The Times, Essential News,

from the LA Times. It's Thursday, August 18, 2022. It's Emmy season, and for the next couple of weeks,

we're featuring interviews with nominees from our sister podcast, The Envelope, and today we're sharing

a conversation with Ray Seahorn of Better Call Saul. Okay, I'll admit I only saw the first two episodes of the show, even though I was a huge

I obviously made a mistake of ignoring the series, which has gotten all sorts of acclaim and

For her role as the ethically flexible attorney Kim Wexler and Better Call Saul, Seahorns

nominated for outstanding supporting actress in a drama series.

She joins the envelope's host Yvonne Villarreal to delve into the show's last twist and

turns and the scariest day on the set.

Ray also discusses her reference to balance gratitude with confidence in her skills and how

Enjoy, and next time your wife says to watch a show, maybe you should watch it.

Sorry, honey.

Ray, thanks so much for joining me.

Thanks for having me.

Well, before we dive really deep into the finale, I want to talk about Kim's new life in South Florida as seen in the penultimate episode.

After leaving Jimmy, Kim moves there.

She becomes a brunette, and we see that she's working at a sprinkler manufacturer.

You know, she didn't die as some feared might happen, but she ended up leading, you know, a pretty mundane life.
