My guest today, you've been a fan of hers for a long-ass time. She was on Married with Children. We were neutering the dog, Al. Oh, but honey, before you take him down, could you ask him for a few pointers? She was on Futurama. It's me, Lila. And still is on. Futureama comes and goes. She was on Sun to Van Arky. To the thought of that before your dick went on a cheerleader hunt. I won a Golden Globe for that, which I didn't know. I tell you what, this is awesome. And now she's on the Connors, which used to be Roseanne. It transitioned to the Connors. What the hell is wrong with you? And she's got a podcast with her no good husband called Pye with Katie Sagan and Kurt Sutter.

And she's here. My guest, Katie Sagall, everybody. Hi, Neil. Yes. Hi. Hi. Do I look at the camera too? No, you. I look at you. Yeah, we, now we just connect. Okay. Do you mind? No, not at all. You know, looking up your, as I said to you before, I've always been a fan.

0:59.2

I mean, it was hard not to be a fan of yours and married with children, but like, you're so good.

1:05.8

You're just, anytime I see you, I'm like, you can do the job.

1:10.4

Anytime I've seen you with the job, you can do that.

1:12.7

Thank you.

1:14.8

Yeah.

1:15.1

I don't know if you feel confident in the job.

1:19.2

You know, it's interesting you say that because for the longest time, after I did

1:24.0

married with children, I didn't really want to do sitcom because I had done it for 11 years. Yeah. And then lately. It was 11 years? It was 11 years. Lately since I was a guest star in the Connors for three or four seasons, I thought, oh, I do this well. Yeah. I might like this again. Yeah. So because I've done, I've veered off and done other genres, which is great. It was very hard to get a dramatic role and I finally broke in there. But, you know, I, I'm good in front of an audience. That's why I know. Yeah. And I do feel that way. Oh, you were also on the nine simple rule, 10, eight simple rules.

2:10.4

I can do it, but I think what was, for me, I get bored easily.

2:14.2

And I also never thought of myself as funny.

2:17.2

I always thought I'm way more

2:19.1
