-I am so happy you're here.
-I'm happy to be here.
-I'm doubly happy you're here because I don't drink
during the show, but you asked if you could have one.
-Sure. -And so now we're going to.
-Kay. [ Cheers and applause ]
-Cheers.
-The difference between me and you in this situation is
I've already had some.
-Oh, you have? [ Laughter ]
That is great news that you've already had some.
That is, like, in line with something you do
when you're on talk shows?
That's not just like an everyday thing?
-It's an everyday thing. -Okay, gotcha.
[ Laughter ]
-No, it's because, you know, because I'm here and I'm --
scared I'm going to tank.
-Just like a little, you want to take the edge --
You're not going to tank.
-I like you a lot, so, it's --
-Oh, you're worried you're gonna let me down?
-It's much better when I don't like someone.
-Oh, great.
So, anytime I see you on talk show not drinking,
I'm gonna know, "Oh, she hates them."
[ Laughter ]
-Still respect them. -Yeah, right.
The show is fantastic. Congratulations.
This is -- "The Romanoffs,"
there's an episode shot in Europe.
There's an episode shot on a cruise ship.
Your episode was shot in New York.
-My hometown. -You went to college here. Yeah.
So were you a little bummed out
that you just had to do a New York episode?
-No, I'm so excited to be here.
Every time I come to my trailer,
whenever I'm employed here, it's like I won the lottery.
I can't believe it's really happening.
-And you move all around the city in this episode.
It is a very nice snapshot of the city.
You play -- One thing that is strange,
and your character is also coming to terms with this,
but you are about to be a grandmother in this episode.
When you first saw the script --
[ Laughter ]
-Thank you for laughing.
-Yes, I agree. I think we can all agree.
[ Cheers and applause ]
My grandmother never looked like you.
[ Laughter ]
She was old. What?
-That's what you think. -Okay.
-Because, see, I have this thing
where I think we're all in denial.
I know you're a little younger than I am, but I'm 46.
And I can't -- -I'm 45, so we're okay.
[ Laughter ]
-I can't believe I'm 46.
-Yeah. -You know?
Like I can't believe it. -I agree with that.
[ Laughter ]
-No, no, no. I'm really serious.
-Here's what -- You know what's crazy?
And while you're talking -- I'm 44.
I'm so old, I'm starting to forget how old I am.
[ Laughter ]
You know what I mean?
'Cause, like, basically 44 and 45 you're like,
it doesn't matter anymore.
[ Laughter ]
-Right. It's all really dodgy.
-Do you feel like look back at things, like,
in your previous life and do you laugh at, like,
what you used to think was old?
-Yes. So, I think about "Thirtysomething," that show.
-Television show. Yes. -"Thirtysomething."
And I think about them and they seemed like,
"Oh, they're grown-ups with their grown-up problems
and children, cancer, middle age."
And, like, I'm [bleep]
Sorry. [ Laughter ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Don't point at the one on the desk like that was the problem.
[ Cheers and applause ]
I know what you mean, though.
-I -- I cannot believe that I'm gonna be 20 years older
than those people in a hot minute.
-Right.
-And then I'm gonna be a bag of dust.
[ Laughter ]
-Well, I used to watch a show called "Bag of Dust."
No, I remember when "Thirtysomething" was on,
my parents would watch it.
And I thought it was boring because I was so young
that I thought people in their 30s were boring.
I'm now, you know, 14 years older than what was boring.
-Right. That's exactly how I feel.
-I'm heartbreakingly boring compared to that. Yeah.
-Yes. Yes.
-Well, all right. I'm sorry for both of us.
[ Laughter ]
You have -- Well, I want to ask about this.
You have three children. -Yes.
-But you are not a grandmother. Not even close.
-I had to think about it for a second.
[ Laughter ]
-Oh, no. Grandma drinks so much, she has to --
she can't remember.
[ Laughter ]
"Who are you?!"
-Wait a minute. [ Grumbles ]
-Are your children -- How old is your oldest?
-11. -11.
So, do they -- Are they excited by what you do?
Are they excited to have a parent -- I mean both --
your husband, I should point out,
is the creator and showrunner of "Game of Thrones," Dave Benioff.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Yeah. It was a weird reaction.
It was like, "Ooh!"
-It was a little bit like he's a rock star.
-Yeah, it is.
-It makes me feel slightly less old.
-Yeah, I think that's good. -Yeah.
-Now, do they -- do your kids watch "Game of Thrones"?
-Well, no. They don't -- -Well, yeah, that's true.
That would be just bad parenting.
-Yeah. [ Laughter ]
I mean, we're definitely not good parents,
but we don't do that. -Right, right.
-Yes. They -- somehow I can't impress my kids.
I don't -- it's no matter what I do. Yeah.
They're just -- they don't want to watch our stuff.
Not that they're really allowed to,
but they also aren't interested
when there is something they can watch.
And on the rare occasions when there's been a billboard
with my face on it, they just -- they act sort of like my mom.
Like, they feel sorry for me.
[ Laughter ]
-What do you mean? -I don't know.
Well, it was for "Togetherness" and I was in a bikini top.
-Uh-huh.
-And they were really --
they were pretty judgmental, I want to say.
[ Laughter ]
-They were judgmental in what?
-They felt sorry for me
that I had to parade around town like that.
-Okay. Gotcha. [ Laughter ]
Wait, how often did you go by the billboard?
Was that sort of on a route?
-It was a problem because it was kind of the way to school.
They just -- they were like...
"Mom, God."
Just really, truly, truly, genuinely embarrassed for me,
and just not impressed.
-I do think that helps put show business in perspective
'cause you think it's really cool,
and then you have kids being like,
"Mom, you know this is dumb, right?"
And you're like, "Yeah."
