  • -You had to cut your season of "Good Girls" short

  • by a few episodes because you were still

  • in the middle of filming when this all came down.

  • Your character Ruby was shot this year

  • and you had to drive around in a motorized scooter.

  • Is that easier or harder

  • than learning how to ride a bike after 30 years?

  • -Easier... -Okay.

  • -...but you have to figure out the speed,

  • because, you know, when you have to hit a mark at a certain time,

  • if you're not walking, you don't really have control.

  • So it took a couple of takes to figure out --

  • Especially there's a scene where I'm just circling,

  • but I'm passing doorways,

  • and I need to get my line in at the doorway before I pass.

  • So it took a while to figure out before I was like --

  • "And he said what?!", you know?

  • [ Both laugh ] -That's great.

  • -But I just noticed that I'm sitting directly in front of

  • my Jonathan Adler vase, which is a butt.

  • [ Both laugh ]

  • -Yeah, you are. Sorry.

  • Too late to fix it. [ Laughs ]

  • Are you watching any TV?

  • We know you to be a great lover of the small screen.

  • -Yes. "Killing Eve" is back, so I'm watching that.

  • -Yeah. Always great.

  • -I'm re-watching "West Wing" and "The Good Wife."

  • "The Good Wife" holds up. -Oh, good to know.

  • -"The Good Wife" has -- "West Wing," it's good,

  • but there's a lot of misogyny in it.

  • -Oh, interesting. -Yeah.

  • It's surprisingly a lot of misogyny.

  • Every time I watch it, I'm like, "Ooh, okay."

  • -Wow. Not what I would expect.

  • A good heads-up. -I know, it's weird.

  • It's like, you know, a lot of, like, sly comments,

  • which, you know, would've just rolled off people's back before.

  • But watching it in this era,

  • I'm like, "Mnh-mnh, Aaron, mnh-mnh.

  • [ Both laugh ]

  • Retta, thank you so much for being here.

  • It's always such a delight to see you.

  • "Good Girls" airs Sunday, on NBC.

  • We'll be right back with more "Late Night."

  • -Thanks.
