Hello and welcome to another episode of I Way with Jameeda Jamil. I hope you're well. I'm fine. I

am I'm in like sort of year 45 of lockdown. It feels as though I am I

quite good week at this week

I found out that the good place is nominated for an Emmy in fact we were nominated for seven Emmys and

So that is really exciting and cool because not only is it nice to be recognized

But it's also mostly that this show changed my whole life, you know, I got to America

I didn't know anyone didn't have any agents or managers and

Didn't have a plan thought I would just be a writer and finally found representation

They sent me for the good place audition knowing that I never acted before or at least not since school plays when I was nine

and I guess I

Was so

bold in the audition because I was so certain that I wouldn't possibly get it that there was no way on earth

I would be allowed to act opposite Ted Danson having no fucking idea how to act and I think maybe Mike sure

Miss took that for

competence he mistook my confidence for competence and

rather maniacally gave me the job and how much that has changed my life

It's just beyond words the fact that I not only got to learn how to act from Ted Danson

And I got to spend all that time with those amazing people and those great writers and Mike sure himself

And we made a show that really meant something and stood for something and you know

It was about the message that we most need in the world right now

Which is that when people come from different backgrounds and different experiences and they have different personalities

They put those different as a side so that communally they can get to a better place
