Welcome to the residual season two, episode three commentary. I'm Michael Paul Smith
0:07
I play Pete. I'm Jillian. I'm Valerie. Hi, I'm James Tabi. I'm Devin and I'm Pats Jones
0:12
I play Lance and there's Dave Anson, ladies and gentlemen playing Sad Emmett
0:19
Emmett. Just deep breaths. We didn't do our star and there's more can applause if
0:28
we give it. There we go. Real applause. Oh my God. What can you say about this guy showed up first thing in the
0:37
morning with an original character voice to give to us. And luckily
0:41
of course, we loved it instantly, of course, glorious. He was early just I adore him
0:49
He's one of my closest friends and he's a sweetheart. And my goodness
0:53
Look at him. You want to say shot so much? This makes me so happy
0:58
You guys. You're so in the moment all the time, we're constantly listening
1:02
Just look at you every word. I love it and always looking to Mark
1:09
he's always looking to Mark and Devin is also, I think thrilled with the fact that Horatio's character has walked into the office
1:18
Gay. I think Birds, the Feather. And Horatio said in an interview with Broadway World that he wanted everyone
1:28
to think that his character was up for anything dot dot dot And I mean
1:31
anything. So that's exactly. Exactly. J do you want to say something about the editing of this scene or this whole episode
1:39
In fact, um, yeah, it was tough because we had so much fun and because Horatio
1:46
you know, no two takes were the same, no two takes were the same and especially in scenes with me and Horatio and Emily Tarver
1:52
who we'll see in a little bit that Horatio knows for a long time. Also, we just had so much fun and we were laughing
1:58
and sometimes he would say something and he'd want to say it again. So you're right. No two takes were the same
2:02
but it wasn't the easiest thing to edit. I will say it was, I felt very proud when I was done with it
2:09
I'll say that this is, this is why editing it's hard to take credit for editing
2:12
But I know as the person that saw all the raw footage, I know the task that you had that you performed in order to
2:19
make this scene cohesive because there was a lot of improv and a lot of spontaneity and a lot of people
2:27
a lot of lines that were shifted around a lot of movies. Well, thank you. It was
2:31
it was tricky. It took me the longest I went, I finished other episodes and went back to it
2:35
There was a lot going on. I need to take breaks. This. I love, I love the corn hoo thing that he does with Emmett's
2:43
jacket and all of our faces. There's just so much happening. There's so much
2:51
Look at this. That is a magnolia, a real one. It doesn't say that had been tossed back in the fourth in that bag
2:57
Did you eat it? And I did finally eat it. Thank God
3:01
After all 70 of these takes, I finally ate. I think I shared it with someone
3:07
I think I might have shared it with Jenna who might have been on set that day. She might have been
3:11
Look at you, James, would you look at you? Look, you're giving the F me E But I have to say
3:21
you can say whoever came up with that shot as the teaser for
3:30
this entire season. I think nothing wraps up this season better than that shot
3:34
So, I mean, that was just a brilliant, like six seconds if you want to wrap up our entire season
3:40
It's that moment. Thank you. And speaking of brilliant Emily Tarver, Emily
3:45
t another ubiquitous TV commercial personality. You see a lot TV slash commercial
3:53
I love Emily. He's just, I love that. He's already laughing. She's not even doing anything yet
3:59
And I love how Emily brings that move back in from season one with the taking off the glasses and putting them there
4:05
but it's even more abrasive. Yeah, exactly. And she begins to say
4:11
see you at the call back towards the end of the year. But then she has this moment of like
4:16
oh, wait, I got the part I need to go. And there's Game of Thrones reference number two Jillian Stark T shirt
4:26
We actually did stop as soon as yelled at us to stop. He
4:35
loves grabbing people's heads grabbing faces. The original character was just supposed to be really intense
4:41
like a good motivational speaker guy. And of course, Horatio just brought a whole other element of borderline creepiness and love that poor Dave Hanson
4:50
He just wants to, Emmett just wants to be excited for someone to be
4:56
but you're right. He is nervous to be happy about it. So I
5:06
say that a lot. You know what I mean? Is it weird to quote our own show because I do it
5:12
It's just in my head. I think so. If you're doing the commentary karate chops with that. Me
5:25
too. It's like Emmett feels as though because he was the reader for that
5:31
Oh, yeah. Fun. That one killed me. Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
5:38
I'm gonna step back. I'm gonna let you do your thing. I just got excited and she's
5:54
I don't think he's going to, I've got to Jeremy. Oh God
6:02
I love Alison. There's her face. There. He is. You ready to do this
6:12
I got this. Look at the emotion, I think That's my favorite
6:18
Burst. Lance never gets a break. This is just my take on a conversation that so many actors have to have
6:27
Oftentimes we have it with our families on the major holidays. What are you doing now
6:30
Can you list your resume for us now? So she killed. So
6:35
what am I going to see on that Saturday? You know, have you seen that commercial with the brunette that could have been you
6:42
I know. Thank you so much that you want to be my agent
6:47
Oh, my mom thinks I should audition for Saturday Night Live. I'll get right on it because that's not a brutal endeavor
6:53
They don't have an ad in the paper or something and then the ones I'm not supposed to talk about
6:59
So come now, this, this line reading right here. This, yes
7:13
that makes me so happy. I love the friendship of Kate and Ellen
7:17
I love in season one. I loved it and it happened right here also
7:22
You could see our little sound rugs. It is a, it is an art
7:27
I think people from L A are known for doing this, but it's the art of making your resume seem a lot more impressive than
7:33
it is. And that's what Pete is trying to endow to Ellen right now
7:39
I don't have anything going on. I think she does. All right
7:43
Well, s selecting it. I wrote a one woman show and it was staged reading of it that nobody came to because I didn't realize
7:51
it was on Super Bowl. Sunday. You guys look great. I'm going to be real superficial for a second
7:59
People looking at the color, everything looks like everything is popping. My goodness
8:04
very attractive. Kelly's hair pops. It is against every color that she
8:08
it can be any dewy and milky. She hates to dine alone
8:14
single man of America, preferably the five boroughs of New York City
8:19
Kelly Warren put her up. All what? All five not Staten Island
8:27
Sorry. Staten Island. I'm all over the city and those teeth of hers
8:32
They just bleed. What an absolute delight. She's going to be so uncomfortable
8:41
Why are you whoring me out? I say the same thing about Emily Tarver too
8:47
The women that we have in the show, Alison Wong. Everyone that we have in the show is gorgeous and fantastic
8:52
The guys are all right, but the women really kill her. The men are mediocre at best
8:56
Dripping in mediocrity. I say that all the time. We're the luckiest people in the world
9:00
Look at this. They're actors and magicians. You my friend. I where
9:10
the letter all this to do this? All right. This is our very last take of the day for Horatio and
9:20
he insisted on doing it one more time and this is the one more time. And so we're so lucky that we did it
9:25
but he just knew that we were close. We he was great like that
9:30
I felt like every time he was like, 00, you got to let me do it again
9:35
Of course, you can say no to you. Planet Rose again. Here's Nick
9:43
Nick and Lindsay who as of this recording last night are new parents
9:49
Congratulations, Lila Ra one day old this recording, God bless a couple months by the time you're listening to it
9:57
But still that, that stand a bit that Ellen is doing is something that we joke about often with our Southern
10:06
friends. You can say bless your heart after talking shit about someone and it sort of makes it OK
10:11
And we talk about that in this bar Planet Rose with Carrie Rachel Dean
10:17
And this is a call back to season one where Keith is still convinced that Valerie unquote wants his shit
10:24
Oh Yeah, that's right. And so he's trying to navigate those waters
10:28
Now, what are you talking about? His year? Chewing
10:37
is my shit. Oh boy, that's, that's I cringed. Yeah. But the result of it for Keith is good because Valerie thinks he's kidding
10:46
And so she just makes this connection of like this is a really funny person that I need to advocate for more
10:56
It's another Grieve song. I love this song. Oh Mikey, I have to say that I really appreciated you writing
11:02
Go to BT into the script for those who are extreme fans of season one
11:08
Was that an outtake or was that actually, that was in season one BT
11:13
But I, I'm not sure if it was someone's, did they mispronounce it in season one
11:18
And that Catherine said it. And Kathy Searle's character was like, there's no such thing and she was like
11:24
yeah, there is. And then Kathy Searle because she's brilliant. Oh, my God, there is
11:28
Thanks for watching. Thanks guys. We'll see you soon
