That was great! I believe that more than I believe me sometimes."


At times, I was like, "Well damn, I should just do it the way D'Arcy did it in that episode. I thought she did it, like, incredibly well. A lot of those mannerisms are just what I feel in my chest and my stomach amped up. It's a harder line to walk and she did it great. My character is the straight man in the show in a lot of ways, and that presents a unique challenge because there are fewer idiosyncratic things that manifest themselves physically with me, or vocally with me. Our writers tend to operate from this place of "Why not? Why can't we do this?." We make up these rules and we can do what we want with this world that we created and they don't limit themselves, and that, thankfully, allows us to have a lot of fun too.ĭid D'Arcy Carden ask about your process to get into the portrayal of Chidi? And, what was your take on how she played your character? And our fans are all really smart. I sort of eavesdrop on Twitter conversations about dramatic things that they're catching that don't make sense or that would track and that doesn't track and I feel like this episode, in particular, was a combination of all the weird little things that are possible in this world.

And our writers' room is not afraid to get really, really, really weird. I just love the fact that our show is willing to take so many risks. That is probably one of my favorite episodes of anything to watch ever, and I think D'Arcy Carden is the genius, obviously. The last episode, "Janet(s)," I think, was one of the best episodes of television in the last year.ĭid you consider that episode to be a culmination of the past two and a half years on the show?
