I'm stoked to be here. And you have. We're both from New England. Now, you did it right. When I grew up, I actively got rid of my main accent, which I deeply regret because you, yours is so, it's you and that Michaela chick who does makeup. It's so thick. And I'm like, oh, every time I hear you, I don't even need to see Grace. I'm like, oh, it's Grace's voice. Like you kept that. Yeah, it's very distinct.

You're like, I want to be a late night host. Now, late night is not going to exist in four years. Like, it's over. And it's a really, it's a hard pill to swallow. I'll tell you that. Because it's like, that's, they call it traditional media. And we're losing it. And it's really sad. And like, do I have cable? No. So I'm not really doing my part to save it, but I hate to see it go.

2:18.6	Oh, really? Yeah. I feel like that's, well, wait, have you auditioned? I feel like you'll be on next season. What's- I haven't? Because I've been, I've been just so honed in on stand-up. And like, when you audition, you can either do stand-up or characters. and if I were to audition, I'd really want to, I'd really want to be like a triple threat. And I'm not, I'm not quite
