[0:07] Robert Bannon: Are you ready?

[0:08] Robert Bannon: It's the Roundtable with me, Robert Bannon.

[0:12] Robert Bannon: Well, hi everybody.

[0:13] Robert Bannon: Welcome to the Roundtable. My name is Robert Bannon.

[0:15] Robert Bannon: You're listening to us on the Broadway Podcast Network.

[0:18] Robert Bannon: We don't only talk about Broadway here at the Roundtable.

[0:21] Robert Bannon: We talk about movies and television and all the fun things.

[0:24] Robert Bannon: And, uh, well, Adrian, who joined us for the past two shows about award shows about the Golden Globes, won't let me go by without talking about the Emmys and the Critics Choice Awards.

[0:38] Robert Bannon: You think she was gonna let these awards go by without bringing them up?

[0:43] Robert Bannon: Adrian, welcome back to the show.

[0:44] Adrian: Hello, everyone.

[0:46] Adrian: And no, I will not.

[0:47] Adrian: Sorry.

[0:47] Adrian: I think I can name myself the award show queen.

[0:53] Adrian: Goddess or the other.

[0:55] Adrian: I mean, I don't know many other people who are like the People's Choice Awards are coming up.

[1:00] Adrian: Okay, we'll talk about it.

[1:03] Adrian: I haven't seen the People's Choice Awards in 162 years, but we'll get there another show.

[1:09] Robert Bannon: We're talking about the Critics Choice Awards and the Emmy Awards.

[1:14] Adrian: Yes.

[1:20] Adrian: Yes.

[1:21] Adrian: Hosted by Chelsea Handler on the CW.

[1:24] Robert Bannon: Ooh.

[1:27] Robert Bannon: There's a little tea there.

[1:28] Robert Bannon: Because you know who she used to date?

[1:31] Adrian: Joe Coy.

[1:34] Robert Bannon: Oh, she used to date Joe Coy.

[1:35] Adrian: Uh-huh.

[1:36] Adrian: They abruptly broke up, like a while ago, but that should be interesting.

[1:43] Robert Bannon: I wonder who will be a better host.

[1:45] Adrian: And if she'll give shade.

[1:47] Robert Bannon: Well, I just, just to say, like I said, I do enjoy his stand-up, and many people have actually come to his defense saying that he was a very last minute choice and he really didn't have a lot of time.

[1:57] Robert Bannon: He has been touring, like probably up until they asked him.

[2:01] Robert Bannon: So he truly may not have seen the films.

[2:04] Robert Bannon: And he's never like hosted before.

[2:06] Robert Bannon: So I a little bit of grace.

[2:09] Adrian: A smidge.

[2:10] Adrian: My only issue was when he made fun of the writers.

[2:12] Adrian: I didn't like that.

[2:13] Robert Bannon: Otherwise, whatever.

[2:14] Adrian: That's what I was gonna say.

[2:15] Adrian: He had writers.

[2:16] Adrian: It wasn't like he wrote every joke himself.

[2:18] Robert Bannon: So no, you definitely didn't write the jokes himself.

[2:20] Robert Bannon: Well, let's talk about this show, the Chelsea Handler Awards or the Critics' Choice Awards.

[2:25] Adrian: We're gonna go backwards because this, I want to talk about, but the problem is that a lot of these are gonna be the same damn people that would have already won.

[2:33] Adrian: But if we go backwards, and let me give you a category.

[2:36] Robert Bannon: Yes.

[2:37] Adrian: I hate critics, by the way.

[2:40] Robert Bannon: See, I don't mind the critics.

[2:42] Adrian: I always, and I was a stan when I was younger.

[2:45] Adrian: I loved Siskel and Ebert.

[2:47] Adrian: I would watch them, my grandparents liked them.

[2:49] Adrian: And what I loved about them is they hardly ever agreed.

[2:52] Adrian: And just because they didn't like something doesn't mean I wasn't gonna go see it because I like the people in it.

[2:58] Adrian: So even if they, and if they panned it, I wanted to see it even more.

[3:01] Adrian: But I do listen to them because I do think they kind of know a little bit.

[3:05] Adrian: The old school, the OGs know what they're talking about.

[3:07] Robert Bannon: Today, the critics today, a little different.

[3:10] Adrian: Well, I've been asked to give my review or critique shows, Broadway shows on here, and I, or cabaret shows on here, and I will never, um, because I feel like I should stay in my own lane, keep my head down and, uh, focus on myself.

[3:27] Adrian: And you know, I hate the mantra about teachers, like those who can't teach, you know, like that idea that, like, you know, teachers, if you're gonna teach me about being a mechanic, then go be a mechanic.

[3:37] Adrian: Well, if you're gonna teach me how to put on a show or make a movie, then go make your own movie.

[3:41] Robert Bannon: Yeah, no, I get it.

[3:42] Adrian: Hey.

[3:42] Adrian: Um, or you know, the people at Cabaret Buzz who rip my shows.

[3:47] Adrian: Um, it's hard, it's hard because you read them, but you also, as an artist, I read them, but I, you have to agree with the bad and the good.

[3:56] Adrian: You don't agree with any of it.

[3:58] Adrian: It's very subjective.

[3:59] Robert Bannon: So that's, and all of it's subjective.

[4:01] Adrian: Of course, of course.

[4:03] Adrian: Well, best song.

[4:03] Adrian: Yeah, it's Critics' Choice Awards, um, which is the three songs from Barbie, Dance Tonight, I'm Just Ken, What Was I Made For, This Wish from Wish, which was not nominated for a Golden Globe, and Peaches from, uh, Super Mario, and then Road to Freedom, which is Rustin.

[4:22] Robert Bannon: Yes.

[4:24] Adrian: I just, I think it's a cute song, and I think it came out of nowhere.

[4:28] Adrian: And again, this is different than the Hollywood Foreign Press.

[4:31] Adrian: This is the critics.

[4:32] Adrian: So the critics, things could be a little different, um, winning, uh, some things.

[4:37] Adrian: So I'm gonna vote for Peaches.

[4:40] Robert Bannon: Okay.

[4:41] Robert Bannon: Well, I, I'm sure it's Billie Eilish's year, and I'm sure that she may win, but I do like the Barbie soundtrack.

[4:49] Robert Bannon: It's a good, it's just a good soundtrack.

[4:50] Adrian: I just like it.

[4:51] Adrian: This soundtrack is great.

[4:52] Adrian: I do like her, I think it's a beautiful song, and I, I know, you know, and she is a very talented artist.

[4:58] Adrian: I do love Dance the Night by Dua Lipa.

[5:00] Adrian: That is, I mean, I'm Just Ken could be kind of the one that might sneak in there.

[5:04] Adrian: But I love Dance the Night is a bop.

[5:07] Robert Bannon: Well, you know, uh, the Blind Item websites say that her brother Phineas could not speak because he had done a lot of edibles at the table.

[5:15] Adrian: But that is just hearsay.

[5:17] Robert Bannon: Ooh.

[5:18] Robert Bannon: All right.

[5:19] Adrian: Best animated film, which I know I'm gonna do because I know you love it.

[5:21] Adrian: The Boy and the Heron, Elemental, Nimona, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Wish.

[5:29] Robert Bannon: Everyone likes The Boy and the Heron.

[5:31] Adrian: That's the one.

[5:32] Adrian: Everyone, I did not see it.

[5:33] Adrian: Everyone does like that.

[5:34] Adrian: I do think that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

[5:38] Robert Bannon: Um, okay.

[5:39] Adrian: It looked cute.

[5:41] Adrian: I'm gonna go with The Boy and the Heron.

[5:43] Robert Bannon: I hear ya.

[5:44] Robert Bannon: Let's go to Best Comedy, America's Fiction, which I can't wait to see.

[5:49] Adrian: Uh, we got a whole bunch of Sega, uh, nominations.

[5:52] Adrian: Uh, and but we'll get to that show when the time comes.

[5:55] Robert Bannon: Barbie, Bottoms, which wow, The Holdovers.

[5:59] Adrian: Uh, I've not, I've not heard of that one.

[6:02] Adrian: Bottoms is a sh, is a movie that was streaming, uh, I believe it was on Hulu.

[6:07] Adrian: Um, I know get your minds out of the gutter, but it's actually, it's actually appropriate.

[6:11] Adrian: Uh, The Holdovers, No Hard Feelings, and Poor Things.

[6:14] Adrian: Um, I think it's really between, uh, American Fiction and The Holdovers.

[6:18] Adrian: Um, see now I, I think Poor Things could pull it out because they won the Golden Globe.

[6:24] Robert Bannon: And Poor Things is a weird movie.

[6:27] Adrian: I love The Holdovers.

[6:28] Adrian: I think it's great.

[6:29] Adrian: I haven't seen American Fiction, but I think it might go to Poor Things.

[6:33] Adrian: The Holdovers makes me cry.

[6:34] Adrian: It made me, it got me a little choked up at the end.

[6:37] Adrian: It is a beautiful, really beautiful movie.

[6:39] Robert Bannon: It's one of those movies that we really, you and I agree with that.

[6:42] Robert Bannon: It's that's the movies we want to see.

[6:44] Adrian: That's the kind of movies I like to see made.

[6:46] Robert Bannon: Well, I would skip this category if you weren't here, but you're here.

[6:49] Robert Bannon: So best visual effects, because you see all these crappy movies.

[6:53] Adrian: Did I, let's see, did I see all of them?

[6:55] Adrian: I think there was one that I did not see.

[6:57] Adrian: Oh, there's two that I didn't see.

[6:59] Adrian: You got The Creator, you've got Guardians of the Galaxy 3.

[7:01] Adrian: You've got Mission Impossible, Dead Reckoning Part One, Oppenheimer, Poor Things, and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.

[7:08] Robert Bannon: Go ahead.

[7:08] Adrian: I know.

[7:10] Adrian: Hold on.

[7:11] Adrian: There is one here that I'm a little bit upset that is not nominated because I think it should have, because it had one of the best scenes visually for visual effects, which was John Wick: Chapter Four.

[7:22] Adrian: Uh, that is not here.

[7:24] Adrian: So, uh, I'm actually going with Oppenheimer on this one.

[7:27] Robert Bannon: Yeah, I'm sure.

[7:28] Robert Bannon: And Ace just a Keanu Reeves Stan account.

[7:31] Adrian: Woohoo!

[7:32] Adrian: Forever.

[7:32] Adrian: She's a stan account forever.

[7:35] Adrian: Um, and I'm here for it.

[7:37] Robert Bannon: I like it.

[7:38] Robert Bannon: Can we talk about the best director for the Critics Choice Awards?

[7:42] Adrian: Look, Bradley Cooper and Maestro, Greta Gerwig and Barbie, Yorgos Lanthimos again, Poor Things, Christopher Nolan and Oppenheimer, Alexander Payne, The Holdovers, and Martin Scorsese.

[7:53] Robert Bannon: It's a great list of really great directors.

[7:56] Adrian: You've got amazing, amazing directors on here.

[7:59] Adrian: Just because I'd love to hear his speech, because it was funny from the Golden Globes.

[8:03] Adrian: Um, Yorgos is hysterical, but I think it's Christopher Nolan's time.

[8:03] Robert Bannon: It's Christopher Nolan's time for sure.

[8:09] Adrian: Uh, my favorite category about this is, and just the same with the SAG Awards, is the acting ensemble.

[8:16] Robert Bannon: I love that because you could have a great actor in a bad movie and they could win an award, and you could have a great group of actors, and that's a totally different thing.

[8:26] Adrian: I agree.

[8:27] Adrian: Air, Barbie, The Color Purple, The Holdovers, Killers of the Flower Moon, and Oppenheimer.

[8:33] Robert Bannon: You know, it's funny, Air has an amazing cast.

[8:35] Adrian: Amazing, amazing.

[8:37] Robert Bannon: I mean, and you've got how many Academy Award winners alone in that cast?

[8:42] Adrian: Yeah, a lot.

[8:43] Robert Bannon: Barbie's a fun cast.

[8:44] Adrian: The Color Purple is a, uh, a great cast.

[8:47] Adrian: Amazing, yes.

[8:48] Adrian: The Holdovers is a small cast, but they're small and mighty.

[8:51] Robert Bannon: Yes.

[8:52] Adrian: Um, Killers of the Flower Moon, you know, is some legendary monsters in that movie as well.

[8:58] Robert Bannon: Famous than Leo and DiCaprio.

[9:00] Adrian: And then Oppenheimer, which is what Ace is gonna say is gonna win.

[9:03] Robert Bannon: So, but this is a tough category because Air, when you're talking about ensemble, you have Viola Davis, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Jason Bateman, and I know I'm missing a few other people.

[9:20] Adrian: That in and of itself, I think is great.

[9:22] Adrian: The Color Purple, this may be where they could sneak in because what an amazing cast.

[9:29] Adrian: I mean, I love Taraji P. Henson, Danielle Brooks, fantastic.

[9:33] Adrian: This may be that opportunity where, uh, and, uh, Coleman Domingo, like you really, really, and I know I'm missing some people, Killers of the Flower Moon, yes, but I just, I think that I, I no, and then you have Oppenheimer.

[9:47] Adrian: Oppenheimer probably has the most because it's a very large mix of people.

[9:53] Robert Bannon: So I think they may get it, but The Color Purple, that might be the surprise.

[9:58] Adrian: I hope so.

[9:59] Adrian: I'd be thrilled for the people you mentioned, her John Baptiste, uh, uh, who else is in that movie, Corey Hawkins.

[10:06] Adrian: There is a great lineup of, uh, of people.

[10:09] Adrian: And they're singing, they're singing people, like really well.

[10:13] Robert Bannon: They're singing, and they're acting.

[10:14] Adrian: They sure are.

[10:16] Adrian: Um, best supporting actress.

[10:18] Adrian: Do you want to talk about the best young actor or actress?

[10:20] Robert Bannon: Because I don't know any of these people.

[10:22] Adrian: You know, I love this award, and I remember, oh my gosh, this was a while ago when we went to go see it, and I cried my eyes out.

[10:30] Adrian: Um, that cute little movie, oh, about the book with Javi Diggs.

[10:34] Adrian: He was the teacher.

[10:34] Adrian: Why am I not thinking?

[10:35] Adrian: Wonder, Wonder, Wonder.

[10:36] Adrian: Wonder was such a great little movie, and I believe he won.

[10:39] Adrian: He was so adorable.

[10:40] Adrian: He was just such a family.

[10:42] Adrian: Yes, he was such a great little actor.

[10:44] Adrian: I love this award.

[10:45] Adrian: I think it's great.

[10:46] Adrian: Enough for nothing.

[10:47] Adrian: I think this should be, um, in the Golden Globes, and I also think it should be in the Oscars.

[10:52] Robert Bannon: Just saying.

[10:53] Adrian: I agree too.

[10:53] Adrian: And if you're not following along at home, um, Abby Ryder Fortson, Are You There? God, It's Me, Margaret, Ariana Greenblatt, Black Barbie, Kayla Lane, Wonka, Milo Machado Greener, Anatomy of a Fall, Dominic Sessa, The Holdovers, and Madeline Una, Voice the Creator.

[11:12] Adrian: Dominic Sessa is so damn good.

[11:15] Adrian: Hands down.

[11:16] Adrian: He, he's, he's really, I, I, his character in the movie.

[11:21] Robert Bannon: Yeah, I think it would be him.

[11:23] Adrian: They're, they're really great, a lot of them.

[11:24] Adrian: I, some one or two I didn't see, but I think it's Dominic.

[11:27] Robert Bannon: I agree.

[11:28] Adrian: All right, best.

[11:29] Robert Bannon: Let's go to the big dogs.

[11:30] Adrian: Yes.

[11:31] Adrian: Best supporting actress.

[11:35] Adrian: This is a tough category.

[11:37] Adrian: First of all, there's a lot of them in here, which is why I say tough.

[11:40] Adrian: If it was like four or five, you've got one, two, three, four, five, you've got six.

[11:49] Adrian: Emily Blunt in Oppenheimer, Danielle Brooks, The Color Purple, America Ferrera, Barbie, Jodie Foster, Nyad, Julianne Moore, May December, and Divine Joy Randolph, The Holdovers where she won the Golden Globe.

[12:01] Robert Bannon: Oh, I didn't realize America Ferrera was nominated.

[12:06] Adrian: I, for some reason, skipped her name.

[12:08] Adrian: I think she could win.

[12:10] Adrian: Well, she's got that famous monologue that will live forever.

[12:13] Robert Bannon: Um and uh, but after I saw Divine Joy ran, uh after I saw her speech and saw her. I picked her, but I miss America. But yeah, I'm with Divine. I think she that was a great role. Great role. Danielle Brooks is great as well, but absolutely. She's got they all have big careers. You may hear of them again. Best supporting actor, one of your favorite people in the entire world, Sterling K. Brown for American Fiction. I know how much you enjoyed that. This is us. Robert De Niro, never heard of him, Killers of the Flower Moon, Robert Downey Jr., never heard of him either. And Oppenheimer, Ryan Gosling, never heard of him. He's in Barbie. All these newcomers. Charles Melton, who is another A favorite in May, December, because she enjoys the uh uh whatever Riverdale Riverdale.

Yeah, there you go. And Mark Ruffalo, another hey, your favorites are here. I know there's so many of them. I'm I'm so torn. This is another really tough category. Now, uh should RDJ get it? Yes, but you've got a lot of people that could sneak in there. And I don't know, maybe this is where Ryan Gosling might win. Maybe I don't know. I don't know, it's a tough one. Well, whatever. But I did pick RGJ. We'll find out on the 14th of January. They should pay us for this. The 14th of January on the CW. Yeah, channel WPIX. That's what it used to be. If you're in New York, then you know what that means for short. Best actress, Lily Gladstone, who Killers of the Flower Moon, which, according to the blind item website.

Ooh, give the T. Her publicist wrote her speech for her because she's a little bit of a drinker, and they wanted to make sure that she locks in this Oscar. So they gave her a very heartwarming speech. Allegedly, I'm not saying this is real. Oh my. Sandra Huller, Anatomy of a Fall, Greta Lee, Past Lives. Who I love her, and now that I know who she is, um, Carrie Mulligan in Maestro, Margot Robbie and Barbie, and Emma Stone and Poor Things. You know, our lovely friend Mike, who we love, he had said he saw past lives. And since I am a big uh romantic uh comedy, uh not comedy, but I love love stories and movies and things like that. He said that I would really enjoy that. I might I have to find it, and even if I have to pay like $20, I really want to see it because from what I've seen, you know, the snippets, it looks like something I would truly love and probably cry my eyes out to.

And yes, Greta Lee from The Morning Show. We we just figured that out. That's amazing. Uh I I think they're gonna give it to Lily, but again, this is a uh I mean, a stacked category. These are amazing female actresses. Uh a little sad to see Fantasia not here, because I think she should have been in here. Uh, but yeah, this is tough. I I think they're gonna give it to Lily.

[15:02] Adrian: I do too. And I think Fantasia, I'm not, I mean, I'm not a mind reader. She did not get a SAG award nomination for Best Actress. I'm sure her Oscar hopes are a little dashed. Um, but that's okay because she proves she she's she's right up in there, and I'm sure there's a lot of movies and music to come from her.

[15:19] Robert Bannon: Exactly. And yeah, I want to see, you know, uh Past Lives was snubbed at the at the SAG Award, so I don't get a screener for that movie. Oh, boo. So I would love to see it. I'm with you on that. I also have to go see Mean Girls, the musical because I'm directing it at NJ Pack. So if you want to join me and be a part of my cast, NJPack.org. Woo! Very exciting. Out with me and and do Mean Girls in Newark, New Jersey. Best actor, Bradley Cooper, Maestro, Leonardo DiCaprio, Killers of the Flower Moon, Coleman Domingo, Rustin, Paul Giamatti, the Holdovers, Cillian Murphy, Oppenheimer, and Jeffrey Wright, American Fiction. This category is hard. I mean, you have, first of all, you have several people that are playing real people, like actual people that existed.

So that's always difficult. Um I I just, and then you've got Jeffrey Wright, who I love. He's such an amazing actor. He's such a versatile actor. He's done so many different things. I think that the two contender that there's three. I think it's Paul Giamatti, Killian Murphy, and Bradley Cooper. I do think those are the top three. As much as I love Killian, I think it's time for Paul Giamatti. You know, I can't believe he never won.

[16:36] Adrian: And also I know.

[16:37] Robert Bannon: He's never won. He's well, he was he won for uh when he played John Adams, which is a great miniseries, uh, back in the day, and that was a quite some time ago. He has never won. And I I love Killian. He does a phenomenal job, but I think I don't know. I I'm kind of torn.

[16:55] Adrian: I hear you.

[16:57] Robert Bannon: And Bradley too. Bradley Cooper, I think is the best one of the best things in in Maestro. And again, when you are the star and you also direct, and I think he's a great director, Bradley Cooper. He's also um a little easy on the eyes as well. In this movie, I think he he he portrays Leonard Bernstein uh in an amazing way. So I it's it's it's this is I think one of the toughest categories.

[17:18] Adrian: I hear you.

[17:19] Robert Bannon: I agree. All right, so the big number, the big the big finale, the best picture, uh American fiction, Barbie, The Color Purple, The Holdovers, Killers of the Flower Moon, Maestro, Oppenheimer, Past Lives, Poor Things, and Saltburn. Um there's 11 films here.

[17:39] Adrian: 11.

[17:40] Robert Bannon: Like the Oscars. They have 10 now, right? Don't they do 10 movies for Best Picture? I'm sure the 10 movies at the Oscars will look very similar to this list.

[17:48] Adrian: I agree.

[17:48] Robert Bannon: Uh, these are the ones that you know people are being, I mean, we'll see about Barbie. We'll see about, you know, I don't know. But well, but what do you think?

[17:57] Adrian: Uh I'm let's all just say it together.

[17:59] Robert Bannon: We're all gonna say Oppenheimer.

[18:01] Adrian: Oppenheimer.

[18:01] Robert Bannon: Yes. I do think Oppenheimer um uh will win. I I I do think it's deserving. We we and you know, we were lucky to have these great films. And I will say, even though I know Barbie's getting like, oh, it's not award worthy and things like that. When you look at the movie as a whole, it's not about Barbie the doll. There's a deeper, if you haven't seen the movie, there's a deeper thing, especially I think for for women. And I myself played with Barbie dolls. And when I was younger, I didn't look like a Barbie doll. So, you know, in speaking of America Ferrara, her speech, it's really important, and that's a very important part of the movie. I think it's great that it's even being recognized because it's not something that you would think would get nominated for these awards. And I think that's kind of awesome that it is nominated, but yeah, I think it's gonna be Oppenheimer.

[18:50] Adrian: I agree.

[18:50] Robert Bannon: So if you're into the movies and you have the CW or you can stream it, I'm sure it's streaming somewhere. Make sure you check out the Critics Choice Awards hosted by Chelsea Hamler on Sunday, the 14th, and then on the 15th of January, um, over on Fox this year. Um and streaming a day later on Hulu, you can check out the Primetime Emmy Awards.

[19:05] Adrian: The Primetime Emmy Awards, which are usually in September, were moved to uh January due to the SAG strike.

[19:20] Robert Bannon: And um it's the 75th annual. Wow.

[19:26] Adrian: Oh, yes, it sure is.

[19:27] Robert Bannon: And it'll be at eight o'clock on Fox Five, hosted by Anthony Anderson.

[19:32] Adrian: Oh, I enjoy Anthony Anderson.

[19:35] Robert Bannon: I know he'd gotten he had a he had a little issue back in the day. I I loved him on uh Law and Order when he was on Law and Order, and one of my favorite shows that he used to do with his mama, because I think his mama is hysterical. Um, it was with the celebrities.

[19:52] Adrian: Um guessing who the people were.

[19:55] Robert Bannon: Oh, I can't think of it now.

[19:56] Adrian: To tell the truth, yes, I like it was so fun.

[19:59] Robert Bannon: Like during COVID and stuff when it was on, it was so fun. He got Cherry Shepard, and you know we love Miss Cherry Shepard. He got her good. He had spiders pull on her. It was the funniest thing, but I felt bad for her because she was really like upset about it.

[20:12] Adrian: Well, this year's Emmy Awards, Succession has the most nominations with 27.

[20:17] Robert Bannon: And wow, your The Last of Us has 24. Woo-hoo. A I think you're it's one of few in the creative Emmys.

[20:28] Adrian: I think your celebrity crush of Pedro Pesca.

[20:31] Robert Bannon: I really think it's never gonna happen.

[20:36] Adrian: Um, you're not worthy or he wouldn't be in well, because I think he wouldn't be interested.

[20:42] Robert Bannon: I I listen, and you know, um Pedro uh has really kind of over the past year because really what pushed him into this daddy atmosphere was his um his stint on SNL when he hosted.

[21:01] Adrian: Yes, which you said he was great.

[21:03] Robert Bannon: He was great, and he is nominated for that.

[21:06] Adrian: Yes.

[21:07] Robert Bannon: So he might have won. He might have won already. I don't know if they actually gave that out. Did he win? It was a part of the Creative Arts Emmys. And then White Lotus, which is another one of your favorite shows, uh, has 23 nominations, including five in supporting actress.

[21:20] Adrian: I know.

[21:20] Robert Bannon: That's what worries me just a little bit because that season of The White Lotus was fire.

[21:25] Adrian: And Jennifer Coolidge is everything.

[21:27] Robert Bannon: I want to be her when I grow up.

[21:29] Adrian: Well, let's talk about talk show.

[21:33] Robert Bannon: But A loves a talk show.

[21:35] Adrian: Oh, I love a good talk show.

[21:36] Robert Bannon: Well, you have you have the Daily Show with Trevor Noah, who my real estate slash personal lawyer is Trevor Noah's opening act on tour, which is so random and funny.

[21:48] Adrian: A lawyer that's a comic is that's a strip.

[21:50] Robert Bannon: That's a um TV show. That should be a sitcom.

[21:53] Adrian: That sounds very uh intriguing there.

[21:56] Robert Bannon: You have Jimmy Kimmel live, you have Seth Myers, you have Stephen Colbert, and you have John Stewart. Not on the list is Jimmy Fallon, and um not my fave.

[22:04] Adrian: And um I love Jimmy Kimmel.

[22:08] Robert Bannon: That's all I'm saying.

[22:09] Adrian: Oh, I did not think you were going to say that.

[22:11] Robert Bannon: Uh, we are in agreement.

[22:13] Adrian: I love Jimmy Kimmel.

[22:14] Robert Bannon: A lot of people, and I I had no idea how long he's actually been on the air. And I enjoy Jimmy Kimmel. I love his Halloween bit with the kids that he does who ate my candy.

[22:24] Adrian: Um, I I I love Guillermo, and I just think he talks about.

[22:29] Robert Bannon: I mean, he joke obviously he's a he's a comedian, he jokes about things, but he also talks about real things that are important, and I love that he does that similar to Stephen Colbert, and I do enjoy Stephen Colbert as well.

[22:40] Adrian: Um, but I I give me I love me some Jimmy Kimmel.

[22:43] Robert Bannon: He's and he's great with his guests, and his his, you know, him and Matt Damon, they have a love hate relationship. I think it's adorable.

[22:50] Adrian: Well, Stephen Colbert is a little bit more uh the hoity.

[22:54] Robert Bannon: Yes, he's a little Jimmy Kimmel can give you politics, can give you his opinion, can get into it about Aaron Rodgers or whatever he's into at the at the moment, but it'll also have some great bits and some funny stuff.

[23:07] Adrian: Yeah, and he brings his family into it too, which I love, and I I think that's what what sets him above from everybody else.

[23:14] Robert Bannon: I agree.

[23:14] Adrian: Reality competition program.

[23:16] Robert Bannon: Woohoo! A favorite.

[23:18] Adrian: Oh, Robert Bannon is gonna have controversial opinion.

[23:22] Robert Bannon: Um The Amazing Race.

[23:24] Adrian: Oh, I better be careful.

[23:25] Robert Bannon: RuPaul's Drag Race, Survivor, Top Chef, and the Voice. So only because you know I love a reality show in general. This I will say, my husband and my brother-in-law got me into the amazing race. It's a really beautiful show to watch. And if it is this past season, it was really, really wonderful what they did because they had a father and son team. It may not be them, I'm not 100% sure. But the father um was deaf and the son was the coda, and you know we love that movie from a few years ago, so it was really really wonderful to watch that. I don't know if that it just ended, so it may not be that season, but I love the amazing race, but that's not who I chose.

[24:10] Adrian: You know who I chose.

[24:12] Robert Bannon: Um I know you did.

[24:14] Adrian: You picked RuPaul's Drag Race, which which is an iconic show for and it is a big deal to the community, and it has won a a bunch of times. And um, yes.

[24:28] Robert Bannon: Now it is competition, so I get that. There's also Survivor, Top Chef, and The Voice. There's some other competition programs that are not on here, like um Gordon Ramsay, who I, you know, I love a Gordon Ramsay, uh, Meal and TV show. Um, they weren't nominated either. So it's kind of tough. The Amazing Race has won for many, many years, but I do think because it is so popular, I think it's RuPaul. That is my choice, and it's different. And my controversial take. I'm gonna try to be PC about this. I am not the world's biggest Drag Race fan. I love Voss. Hello, Voss PR, hello, VH1 PR, hello, everybody that works with the Queens on RuPaul's Drag Race. We love when they come on the round table, and there are some queens coming on the round table very soon. But as a yeah, no, but so hold on. But we love, and you and I are both, we love a good drag queen. And I think there's a difference because RuPaul's Drag Race, it is still a television show.

[25:33] Adrian: Agreed. So there is a whole other gamut, and you have spoken to some that have been on the show. So and you have spoken to some that have not been on the show and don't want to go on the show. So I think it's okay that you may not want that to win. That's fine.

[25:47] Robert Bannon: Um but dating them is a whole other story. Supporting actress in a limited series or TV movie. Anna Annalie Ashford, welcome to Chippendales, Maria Bello, who's been on the round table. Maria Bello with the beef, um, Claire Danes. We could get through these quickly, I'm sure. Claire Danes, Fisherman in the Trouble, Juliet Lewis, Chippendales, Camilla Moore Morone, Daisy Jones and the Six, and then Nisi Nash, who eats that screen alive in Dahmer. Um done. That's that's it. Nisi Nash, I love Nisi Nash. I loved her on Claws. You should watch it. It's no longer on. It's great. It's three seasons. It is fabulous, trashy, amazing TV. It is amazing. She should have been nominated for that when it was on. But Nisi Nash, this role was so so I think life-changing for her, and I adore her, and I would love for her to win.

[26:35] Adrian: Me too. I know Maria Bello won for Beef and is apparently great. Or not Maria, Beef won a bunch of awards on the launch, yes. And Maria Bello is great. She's a great actress. It's, you know, but I think it's time for Nisi Nash.

[26:47] Robert Bannon: Me too. Best supporting actor in a limited series or TV movie, Murray Bartlett, Chip and Dales, Paul Walter Hauser, Blackbird, Richard Jenkins, who is heartbreaking as the dad in Dahmer, Joseph Lee and Beef, Ray Le and Blackbird, Young Mazzino and Beef, and Jesse Plemence in Love and Death. Again, this is an easy category for me.

[27:07] Adrian: Go ahead.

[27:09] Robert Bannon: Now, does Rayleigh Oda win because Ray Leota died?

[27:13] Adrian: No, I think Ray Leah wins because um to be disrespectful.

[27:17] Robert Bannon: No, of course not, of course not. And I know that is kind of the oh, you know, that, but um, if you first of all, the sh I was like, oh, this looks like you know, whatever, and I watched it. All of the actors are really great in it. Um, Paul Walter Hauser, who was he was very, very good in it. I I but I do I think also because he has passed, I think that may play a role, tiny role, but my vote is for Rayleigh Oda.

[27:42] Adrian: I hear that. All right, let's go to actress in a limited series or TV movie, Lizzie Clappl Kaplan. Fleischman is in trouble. Jessica Chastain, George and Tammy, Dominic Fishback, Swarm, Katherine Hahn, Tiny Beautiful Things, Riley Keogh, Dale, Daisy Jones and the Six, and then Allie Wong and Beef. Now, I love Jessica Chastain.

[28:02] Robert Bannon: Oh, we love Jessica. She does wonderful. Both of them have stopped and chatted with us here at the roundtable. But um, I think Allie Wong wins.

[28:19] Adrian: I'm I I love Katherine Hahn. I love her. And that was a weird show, and I really enjoyed her, and she has been around for a long time. I know Allie did just win. Um, but I'm gonna go for Katherine Hahn.

[28:34] Robert Bannon: There you go. An actor in a limited series or TV movie, Taryn Egerton in Blackbird, Kamal Nanj Nanjani in Welcome to the Chippendales, Evan Peters, whoo boy in Dahmer, Daniel Radcliffe in the Weird Weird, Weird Out Story, Michael Shannon in George and Tammy, and Steven Young and Beef. You know, this is a it's a tougher category than you think because Evan Peters is something in Dominic. That I mean it it it's a tough watch. It really is. Um, and uh a friend of yours um is is was in this, correct?

[29:08] Adrian: Yes, Brandon Brandon Black was in it.

[29:10] Robert Bannon: Yeah, um this is a really really difficult category because you've got some and they're so different, like the roles are super super different and really, you know, um interesting. Evan Peters really did do a fantastic job. Um Steven Yun did a fantastic job. Michael Shann. Um, but I'm gonna go for the weird person. I'm going for Daniel Radcliffe for Weird Al the Yankovic because I love Weird Al. So that's my vote.

[29:35] Adrian: You know, I loathed, I loathed that movie. I was so excited about that movie, and when I watched it, I didn't even finish it. I said, this is the stupidest movie. I wish I wish it was as a whole better, but if you're talking specifically, I think very different for Daniel Radcliffe, and I think he's a great actor. He's on Broadway right now, as we know, and merrily we roll along. Um, but I I'm I'm I'm you know me. I'm I'm the emotional sympathetic. I'm this the sympathy, not sympathy, but the emotional voter.

[30:04] Robert Bannon: Yep, we yep, that's exactly right. Limited series. We have Beef, Dahmer, Daisy Jones, the sixth flecman is in trouble, and Obi, wow, good Jesus Lord. Juan Kenobi.

[30:15] Adrian: Go ahead, eh? Dun dun, dun, dun dun, dun, dun.

[30:18] Robert Bannon: I mean, this listen now, now. There are some great, I mean, Dahmer is a great series. However, however, because and not just my not just because of my husband. I have, and you can attest to this, Robert. I have always loved Star Wars. Prior to meeting my husband, John, who was part of the 501st. I uh, but no, my vote is for Obi-Wan. It's not going to win, but I'm voting for Obi-Wan. It is not going to win, but Beef or Dahmer is going to win. And um, and and I like that Obi's even nominated.

[30:47] Robert Bannon: All right. So shocked it was nominated, to be fair. But A watches a lot more television than me, so um, I'm gonna just guess with my gut, and I'm gonna talk about the people I like. And that doesn't mean that they're gonna win, so don't judge me at all. Supporting actress in a comedy series, Alex Bornstein.

[31:03] Adrian: Oh god, is this show over yet? I'm so done.

[31:05] Robert Bannon: That's it. It's not no, it's no more. I mean, I know people it gave a lot of actors in New York work, so that's wonderful. The Marvelous Miss Maisel, Io Eda Berry, the Bear, Janelle James, Abbott Elementary, so good. Cheryl Ralph, Abbott Elementary, so good. Uh Juno Temple and Ted Lasso so good. Hannah Waddington, amazing in Ted Lasso, Jessica Williams shrinking, a really good category with a lot of fun people.

[31:27] Adrian: So many fun people. I mean, Cheryl Lee Ralph, legendary. She is amazing. Um, everyone is so great in this category, and I know they gave it to the bear, but uh uh, and Juna, I love Juno, her character in Ted Lasso. She is such a great actress. Uh, but I'm going with my favorite, Hannah Waddingham.

[31:44] Robert Bannon: I just I love her.

[31:45] Adrian: I think so too. I think she's got a lot of push and buzz, and and anyone who wins deserves to win in that category. That's a great it's it's again, it's a it's a uh you've got amazing women in this category. Actresses, amazing.

[31:57] Robert Bannon: Yes, best supporting actor in a comedy series, Anthony Carrigan and Barry, Phil Dunster, Ted Lasso, Brett Goldstein Ted Lasso, James Marsden in Jury Duty, Evan Moss background, the bear. I love Tyler James Williams in Abbott Elementary, and then Henry Winkler. Henry, we love Henry. He's so sweet. This is again, this is real. First of all, I I I actually the uh Brett Goldstein, who is co-wrote uh a lot of Ted Lasso, he's his character is phenomenal in Ted Lasso. But I don't know, and this is just because I actually didn't watch it. James Marsden is playing himself.

[32:33] Adrian: Yes, I heard, and it's that's kind of cool. Like, and he I don't think he's ever been nominated before either. So that's kind of a cool like wow, I got nominated for being me. It's kind of fun.

[32:46] Robert Bannon: Yeah, I think it's kind of fun. I actually it's it's I believe it's streaming on Hulu. I kind of want to uh take a look at that, but I'm going for Brett. I'm going for Brett. I love whistle, whistle. If you've watched Ted Lasso, you'll get it. If you know, you know. Uh I like that answer. I love Tyler James Williams, and he I'm just a sucker for Abbott Elementary as a teacher. And I I I um I can't wait for it to come back. I know um Quinta had said on the red carpet that the season's gonna be really great, even though it's shortened. So I that is that is a show that the whole family could watch. I think it's a really she does such an amazing job writing it, and the actors in it are fantastic.

[33:23] Adrian: Absolutely. Supporting actress in a drama series. I mean, there's only one.

[33:29] Robert Bannon: But but but in my opinion, that that will win. But you have Jennifer Coolidge, White Lotus, Elizabeth DeBecki the Crown. Oh well, you never uh Megan Fahi the White Lotus, Sabrina Impactiori, the White Lotus, Aubrey Plaza, whose show is running off Broadway, just recouped its money, and she's quite a name now, the White Lotus, Rhea Seahorn, Better Call Saul, Jay Smith Cameron in Succession, and Simona Tabasco in the White Lotus. First of all, the sheer fact that every single actress that was in The White Lotus that had like is nominated is amazing. But that also kind of does cancel a few of them out, unfortunately. Some of them were spectacular. I I mean in this season, but Jerry, Jerry. He's ready for the succession sweep.

[34:19] Adrian: Oh, I'm ready for it.

[34:20] Robert Bannon: Jay Smith Cameron, I loved her. She was phenomenal in this season. I mean, she was great, but this you know, but I you know, Elizabeth DeBecki, who portrayed Princess Diana. I mean And Jennifer Coolidge. Jennifer Coolidge. This is the yeah, this is tough. This is tough.

[34:37] Adrian: Um, best supporting actor in a drama series is quite a lineup as well.

[34:43] Robert Bannon: Yeah, um, you know, I'm a little excited about this one. Well, you love F. Marie Abraham.

[34:46] Adrian: I do. F. Marie Abraham, the White Lotus, Nicholas Braun Succession, Michael Imperioli, the White Lotus. Yes, Theo James, the White Lotus, Matthew McFadden Succession, Alan Ruck Succession, Will Sharp, the White Lotus, Alexander Scarsgard succession. It is just White Lotus and Succession, the whole category.

[35:06] Robert Bannon: It's a whole category. Now, yeah, I think this may surprise you. I kind of changed my it's still succession, but I'm going for Nicholas Braun, because in again in the final season, not to give it away. He really brings it. And I he's so adorable. And he's so his character is so weird and clunky, and just he's he's just trying and clawing his way as best as he can. And he's a little a bit of a I don't want to say a buffoon, but he kind of is. But I just I would love to. I think it would be great if if that was a surprise. I think that would be a fun surprise for him.

[35:41] Adrian: I think so too. And I think he has a good shot of winning. For sure.

[35:48] Robert Bannon: Absolutely. We almost had Michael Imperioli on the round table, but he he kept it wasn't really him, and we were catfished by fake Michael Imperioli.

[35:57] Adrian: Oh, that's terrible. I have to say, um, John and I actually met um when they were promoting their book um at Book and Television. He's such a nice guy, and you and I actually ran well after the fact. We were in Little Italy. I think we were just doing headings somewhere, and I was like, Oh, that's Michael Imperioli. And he literally walked right past us. But um, it was he and Steve Sharippa um talking about their podcast book of Sopranos, and Michael, lovely, lovely guy, very talented too, talented writer.

[36:24] Robert Bannon: Yes, he his people said he wanted $500 to do the round table, and it wasn't his people. So, you know, welcome to the watch out for those scammers as Andy Cohen says. We love you, Andy. He should probably not sniff and drink as much. Outstanding lead actor in a musical uh comedy or in a comedy series, Bill Haider and Barry, Jason Sudakis and Ted Lasso, Jeremy Alan White and the Bear, Marin Short, only Murders in the Building, and Jason Siegel and Shrinking.

[36:47] Robert Bannon: And come on, I Jeremy Alan White, this is his year a. Did you see the Calvin Klein ad? I know A's very excited about his Calvin Klein ad. Oh, he listened he he looks amazing. Uh, yeah, listen, he's gonna win, but I love my Jason Sedecas. He's amazing, and he's won. I believe. Yeah, he has won before, so it might be time to, but it was the last season. So, you know, sometimes they're weird with stuff like that, but I think Jeremy Allen will probably well. Speaking of last seasons, outstanding lead actor in a drama series, Jeff Bridges, the old man, Bob Odenkirk, Better Call Saul, Brian Cox succession, Jeremy Strong succession, Kieran Cloak in succession, and Pedro Pascal, The Last of Us.

[37:31] Adrian: Now, I love Pedro. And and he's great in The Last of Us. But there are more seasons coming of The Last of Us, so who knows? He may get nominated again. This is by far Kieran Culkin's To Lose. Uh, Jeremy Strong is phenomenal. Now, the only one that could pop could possibly is Bob Odenkirk because Better Call Saul was was really amazing, and he's a great actor as well. But I do think uh Kieran will take it again. I hope he does because he was absolutely fantastic.

[37:57] Robert Bannon: I agree. Uh, he's amazing. He's amazing, especially in this last season. And I want to hear this speech because every time he gets up there, it's great. I love it. He is a personality and a character for sure. My friend John Grace and and his management team. Um uh everyone that works over there with his manager. I can only imagine what he puts them through. Um, because he is a personality. He is, but I'm I'm here for it. I I think it's great.

[38:25] Adrian: Me too. Lead actress in a comedy series, Christina Applegate, dead to me. Um, Jenna Ortega, Wednesday, Natasha Leone, Pokerface, Quinton Bronson, uh Abbott Elementary, and Rachel Brosnahan in the marvelous Mrs. Mazel. It's a good category.

[38:41] Robert Bannon: Yeah. Christine Applegate is an inspiration. I I I think again, this is another tough category. Uh, Jenna Ortega, she gets a lot of flack, I think, and I watched Wednesday, and it was kind of cute. She was very good in it. She was very, very good in it. And they do have another season. I think they're filming it now. Um I I'd love to see Christina Applegate. I I love the role was phenomenal. She was great in it. I loved the show. I was sad to see it end, but she, if she did, I think it would be wonderful. I'd I mean, really, if anybody won, I'd be thrilled to be to be fair. I think they're all amazing in their in their performances. This is and I love Quinta and I love uh and Rachel has won.

And I know that it's uh it is a a great uh lineup of actresses, also a great lineup of actresses, outstanding lead actress in a drama series, Bella Ramsey, The Last of Us, Elizabeth Moss, The Handmaid's Tale, Sharon Horgan, Bad Sisters, Melanie Lynsk, Lens Linsky in Yellow Jackets, Carrie Russell in the Diplomat, and Sarah Snook, oh boy, in succession.

[39:43] Adrian: This is hard, this one, because Melanie in Yellow Jackets, she first of all, I've loved her in everything she's ever done. I've always looked up to her because she always played the friend. She was always that person, and and she defies because she's always like, oh, you need to lose more weight, and things like that. And and I love her husband, um, who is John Ritter's son, who they're such a cute couple. Um, he's so supportive of her, and she's funny, she's great. I loved her in Sweet Home Alabama, where Reese's like, you have a baby in a bar, one of my favorites. Um she I think she won the Golden Globe for this. So I don't know, but you know, uh Sarah Snook in succession. Sarah Snook is amazing in succession. Shiv deserves it.

[40:31] Robert Bannon: Absolutely. Absolutely. Um Outstanding Limited Anthology series Beef, Daisy Jones and the Six, Fleisman is in trouble, Dahmer and Obi-Wan Kenobi. You know my vote, Obi-Wan.

[40:47] Adrian: Yeah, I I do know your vote, and I'm sure that Beef or Dahmer will win, but I'm happy for Obi-Wan Kenobi for the people who enjoy the Star Wars and the Disney and the whatever those alien, whatever goes in that, whatever that show's about, God bless it. And I love that people love it.

[41:05] Robert Bannon: Mm-hmm. Uh-huh. No show. So we have only a comedy series.

[41:11] Adrian: Yeah, go ahead, read it, eh? All right. Abbott Elementary, Barry, The Bear, Jury Duty. Oh, The Marvelous Mrs. Mazel, Only Murders in the Building, Ted Lasso, and Wednesday. Interesting category.

[41:24] Robert Bannon: Very. Very interesting. I love only murders in the building. If you're not watching it, you really are missing out because it is. I mean, comedy greats are in it. It's it's really, really fantastic. You know, I'm going for going for my Ted Lasso. I do love it. Um, but I think the bear probably will win. It may be the bears year, and uh it's a great show, and it may be deserving, but all of them are good. Abbott's great, Barry's great, murders is great. You know, there's Wednesday was very fun and it was a cultural phenomenon and all of that stuff. So I I'm excited to see who wins.

[42:02] Adrian: And then Outstanding Drama series Andor on Disney Plus, which is another Adrian thing. Better Call Saul, uh, House of the Dragon, The Crown, The Last of Us, White Lotus, Succession, Yellow Jackets. I've only watched one of these series because most of them give me a.

[42:17] Robert Bannon: No, you've watched two, didn't you do? Oh no, Ted Lasso's not. That's comedy. Sorry. Yeah, this is drama. This is this is tough for me because now Andor is also a Star Wars show as well. Andor was everyone was like, this is a snooze. This is a snooze. The last three episodes were jaw-dropping, especially for Star Wars fans. Um my goodness, Gollum. Why can't I think of his name? Oh my goodness. He's in it. Um Andy Circus, he's amazing. He's amazing in this show, and it was fantastic. This is really tough. You've got the White Lotus, you've got Succession. House of the Dragon, which is uh a Game of Thrones prequel. Better Call Saul. This is really tough, but I of course will go to Succession. I I do hope Succession wins, but this could, I don't know. Um, I don't know. Could be a I think Succession wins as well. I think it's succession's year, and I'm uh excited to see it.

[43:14] Adrian: I you know Can I just something that I find interesting? The majority of these um shows are mostly cable or streaming.

[43:26] Robert Bannon: Very much so. Yeah, no law and order, no Chicago fire, just saying. Um, you know, or FBI, no, it's it's all which I I think that it's just uh just to go off on a tangent for a moment. I think it's very interesting to see where television is going. I think we've had some of our best television writing, thank you, writers, in a really long time. And I hope now we get to see even more because I'm sure while everybody was on strike, they were like, let me get my thoughts on paper. So when we come back, we can be even bigger and better. And I'm for it. Bring it on writers. I'm here for it. I'm here for actors. I'm here for writers. I'm here for everyone that is making art. That's what the roundtable's all about.

And that's what award shows are all about. People give it grief because they say we give each other awards and it's a competition, but it's really to honor the work that people are have done. And it's the same thing as like an employee of the month or you know uh you know an MVP at a basketball game.

[44:21] Adrian: It's true. And yes there there's politics around it but I agree I I think if you really do put in the work and it's interesting because when you watch the and just to again like the movie May December that movie with with uh Julianne Moore and um Natalie Portman Natalie Portman is playing an actress so she's going to these people's house practically living with them because she's going to portray this woman. And that's what actors kind of do if they're portraying someone that is alive. Like um uh Rami Malik he watched thousands and thousands of hours of Freddie Mercury and choreography to get it right and he won an Oscar for it because he was I mean spot on you know I I think it's I think actors kind of get a bum wrap because they're like oh you're just acting it's it's a lot more to it than that and you know because you were you went to acting school yeah I'm an actor and I I think being an actor is uh is a lot of work it's a it's a noble profession it is is very hard it's very hard to be vulnerable um and to create art that transcends and to be someone other than yourself and um it takes a lot of work and effort and if you want to be an actor you need to um want to be an actor for the craft of acting, not for TikTok followers and you know uh fame. It's really is something that is uh a very historical and important job that really is culture.

[45:43] Robert Bannon: We have an upcoming interview with someone who's in the night of the iguana by Ernest Hemingway that's playing right now at the signature. And she said, you know, the actor is a part of history. We did we learn history through acting. You know, how many movies and television shows and theater have do you know about history because you watched it? It is an important part of our history, and it is something that we look back on in time and we see a piece of our selves and our and where we've been as a nation. So it's important. Um, it's really important. And such entertainment.

[46:18] Adrian: Exactly, exactly. And you know, when when we're dealing with some hard things, you know, ourselves, no matter what what uh you know, everyone is going through and things like that. When you can see something on screen and say, hey, yes, it may be fiction, it may be fake, but you can relate to that. That may make you feel a little bit better. And it may bring you some comfort if you're going through a hard time. Or like sometimes if you just really want to laugh and and watch something and an entertainment does it. It is an art form. And I that's why I love the round table because you always you always talk about that with who you have on. And I think that's so important. People need to to understand that. I think it's great. I can't wait to see what's next on the round table.

[46:58] Robert Bannon: Well, we have a whole bunch of stuff coming up. We we will be um we will the round table will be with you forever. No, I uh you could listen to us every day here on the Broadway Podcast Network with some great podcasts if you're into that.
