  • black ish.

  • I know that you're continuing Thio Film show.

  • How does that work?

  • I mean, I know what we have to do, but my job is in.

  • My job is obviously much simpler.

  • I can speak to this camera in an abandoned theater with socially distance crew.

  • You're doing scenes with other actors, and it needs to mimic riel life.

  • How do you do that?

  • Well, the writers have had a really tough task.

  • The writers and directors, mostly this season.

  • We've had two person scenes so that we can keep a little bit of a distance on DSO.

  • Sometimes you know, as actors, we push back me being one of them.

  • I'm like, No, I'm not hugging him, you know, But they're really amenable.

  • You know, That's one of the things that's had to shift for us.

  • We've been working for 2.5 months.

  • Everyone has stayed safe.

  • The crew wears a mask and shield at all times.

  • US actors wear mask and shield, except for when we are shooting.

  • So as soon as they say cut, the mass goes back on.

  • Um, I think there's ways to do these things safely on, but still be able to enjoy the benefit of working, which I feel so grateful to be able to do and you safely.

  • I know that so many people are not able to do that.

  • And I know the damage that that is taking on our economy and people personal lives.

  • And so I don't know.

  • It's been really interesting, but I think one of the things that we've realized is you have to shift the priorities of how we have done our jobs.

  • So safety is number one.

  • Where is it you could be like, How much can you cram into a day?

  • You know, the the other thing is, and this is a suggestion for your writers, they don't have to use it if they don't want Thio.

  • But they could write it in to the Siri's that you all became welders wearing welders and beekeepers.

  • So you're just That's part of your character Now you're all you're shielded up all the time for your character.

  • I would love that.

  • I'll be honest.

  • I'm one of those people.

  • But we do have, like, banner our props.

  • Master, um, he wears a welder shield and he has a Mohawk, but we haven't been able to see it all season.

  • So he's put a Mohawk on his welders cage he wears, I don't know.

  • We've After 2.5 months, we've actually found some of the joy again, um, in in a new way, I find it really wonderful to be able to go to work.

  • It's made me, um, so appreciative and grateful for what we're able to dio.

  • And I don't know.

  • I don't think the show has suffered, which is a testament.

  • The writers and producers, Well, I think that sometimes things can even creativity can flourish in times like this, you know, reminded that when you really put strain and limits, sometimes on people, they do beautiful things.

  • So I'm glad that you guys, it's such a funny show.

  • I'm glad you're making more of them.

  • I'm glad you're continuing to to do great work.

  • Eso I'm appreciative for that.

  • And, uh, I'm also appreciative that you're even talking to me now that you're a fashion icon because not many not many fashion icons want to spend.

  • I'm not getting a lot of phone calls, you know, I don't know why you think that as soon as they said.

  • I was getting the Fashion icon award of 2020.

  • I said the first interview I will do and only you is with Conan O Brien.

  • And if you can't set that up, I'm not doing anything else.

  • That's right And you turned down Oprah and she's mad, but she's used to going.

  • She's used to going second to me.

  • Let's face it, Oprah had to get used to that a long time ago.

  • She swallowed that pill and said, You know what?

  • I understand I'll take a step back.

black ish.
