00:00It's a show that promotes the goodness of humanity.

00:03And with so much of everything sort of going in the opposite direction, it's really nice

00:08to have a show be recognized that just sort of up-lifts people.

00:23People always say that lightning doesn't strike in the same place twice.

00:45We're going to make our good show and hopefully people will enjoy it.

00:48And, you know, we'll watch the Emmys and everybody will have a good time, whatnot.

01:20Twins are always together.

01:22They have this thing.

01:23There's old Randall.

01:24There it is.
