STILL, THERE HAVE BEEN MOMENTS OF GRACE, AS WHEN LIFER AMY (AMERI FERRERA) AND BS-SCHOOL DROPOUT JONAH (BEN FELDMAN) FALLY GOT TOGETHER AS A UPLE. A HUGE PROMOTN TO THE CALIFORNIA OFFICE OF CLOUD 9’S NEW PARENT PANY ZEPHRA BROKE THEM UP THE SEND EPISO OF THE SHOW’S SIXTH SEASON, WHEN FERRERA LEFT THE SHOW.

PHEW!I SPOKE TO BEN FELDMAN ABOUT HIS TIME ON THE SHOW, MAKG ONE OF THE FEW TV SERI ABOUT THE WORKG CLASS, AND THE GAP S PARTURE WILL LEAVE.VANY FAIR: YOU HAVE BEEN A UNN MEMBER FOR YOUR ENTIRE REER. WHAT HAS MEANT TO YOU TO GET TO TELL A STORY ABOUT LABOR THROUGH THE SIX SEASONS OF THE SHOW?BEN FELDMAN: I THK YOU DON’T SEE THIS DYNAMIC A LOT ON TELEVISN. IT’S A SRY STORY TO TELL, BEE WE ARE UNN MEMBERS, AND WE HAVE THIS DYNAMIC REAL LIFE. I WORK FOR NBC, WHICH IS UNIVERSAL AND COMST. THERE ARE RPORATE OVERLORDS, AND THERE ARE ELEMENTS OF GREED, OR EVEN JT SORT OF A DISTANT SEPARATN, BETWEEN THE PEOPLE ON THE GROUND AND THE PEOPLE UPSTAIRS. I THOUGHT WAS AN IMPORTANT STORY TO TELL, BEE YOU DON’T SEE THAT A LOT ON TELEVISN, AND PARTICULARLY THE WORKG-CLASS WORLD, WH THE BIG-BS GROCERY STOR OR BIG-BOX STOR, AND CERTALY RIGHT NOW WHEN [REAL-LIFE PEOPLE ARE] RISKG THEIR LIV TO SHOW UP TO THE JOBS. Y. IT’S ONE OF THE THGS I’M MOST PROUD OF, I THK, ON THIS SHOW.DID THE SHOW EVER NSIR MAKG THE UNN DRIVE SUCCSFUL, OR WAS MORE IMPORTANT TO TELL THE PRSG TTH THAN PRENT A HAPPY ENDG?I MEAN, YEAH. ASI OM THE CENTRAL ROMANCE, WE DON’T REALLY TRAFFIC HAPPY ENDGS. AND THAT’S, I THK, THE POT OF THE SHOW. THERE’S A MOMENT THE FAL MONOLOGUE THAT COLTON DUNN’S CHARACTER GARRETT ’S SOMETHG ALONG THE L OF, THERE’VE BEEN ALL THE KDS OF SHTY MOMENTS, AND THIS JOB IS SUCH A DDGE. IT’S HARD, AND ’S NOT FUN, AND THERE [ARE] SO MANY DRAWBACKS AND M. AND YET, HE WAS SAYG THE END, “ALL I N REMEMBER RIGHT NOW ARE THE GOOD TIM.”AND I THK, ULTIMATELY, THAT’S WHAT THE SHOW WAS ABOUT. IT WAS ABOUT THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU. IT WAS BASILLY, LIFE SUCKS; ENJOY THE MOMENTS YOU HAVE WH THE PEOPLE YOU HAVE. MAYBE IF WE WEREN’T NCELED AND WE HAD FUTURE SEASONS, THE UNN STORY WAS ONE OF THE TRAJECTORI [WE WOULD HAVE PURSUED]. MAYBE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A SMALL W, BUT I DON’T THK, ULTIMATELY, THERE EVER WOULD HAVE BEEN THIS BIG, THROW-YOUR-HANDS--THE-AIR-AND-CELEBRATE [MOMENT] IF YOU’RE TALKG ABOUT RPORATNS.IN TERMS OF HOW MUCH DARKER THGS ULD HAVE GONE, ’S BEEN REPORTED THAT ONE ABANDONED IA WAS FOR JONAH TO BE REVEALED AT THE END OF SEASON ONE AS A RPORATE SPY MONORG UNN ANIZG EFFORTS.

THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN FUN TO PLAY, AND THEN HE WOULD HAVE REALIZED, “THIS IS MY FAY AND I LOVE THEM, AND SO SCREW THIS WHOLE UNRVER THG THAT I’M DOG.” I DON’T THK THAT IA GAED A LOT OF TRACTN THE ROOM. I THK WAS JT AN IA THROWN OUT THERE, BUT YEAH—’S ALWAYS FUN TO PLAY A NFLICTED [PERSON] AND A VILLA.IT’S HARD TO E BACK OM, THOUGH.IT IS. OR WE WOULD HAVE BOUGHT BACK, AND WOULDN’T HAVE FELT VERY SATISFYG. A LOT OF TIM SHOWS WILL TRODUCE SOMETHG LIKE THAT AND THEN KD OF BUY BACK THE LAZIT, [MOST] UNFULFILLG WAY. AND THAT’S ANOTHER THG THAT THEY DON’T LOVE TO DO ON SUPERSTORE.WHAT DID YOU LEARN OM JONAH’S FIGHTS AGAST THE CLOUD 9 RPORATE MACHE?WELL, I MEAN…I LEARNED, AS SOMEONE THE MACHE REAL LIFE, AND WHO’S BEEN, I SHOULD SAY, VERY LUCKY, I SHOULDN’T BE PLAG ABOUT ANYTHG—I’M NOT TRYG TO SET YOU UP. THIS IS NOT A STG OPERATN.NO, OF URSE, OF URSE. BUT WH THAT VEAT ASI, I THK I LIVE REAL LIFE, AND WE GOT TO TELL THE STORI THE SHOW, AND THERE IS A SALMON ELEMENT TO . THERE’S ALWAYS AN UPSTREAM KD OF VIBE, LTLE BATTL HERE AND THERE. BUT THE LONG N, WHAT THEY’RE RARELY LOOKG OUT FOR IS THIS ALTISTIC IA OF OUR HAPPS, OUR HEALTH, AND OUR SAFETY, AND OUR PROSPERY. IT IS VERY RARELY, IF NOT NEVER, THAT. YOU LEARN THAT DOG REAL LIFE, AND YOU LEARN THAT PLAYG ON TV. THAT SAID, UNIVERSAL IS WONRFUL. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH, AND I NTUE TO WATCH AND WOULD LOVE TO BE A PART OF ANY OF THEIR FUTURE PROPERTI.LET’S TALK ABOUT THE FALE. WHAT WAS LIKE ACTG OPPOSE MARIA THAYER AS HANNAH FOR THOSE LAST FEW EPISOS WHEN YOU KNEW, AND SHE KNEW, AND EVERYONE WATCHG KNEW, OR AT LEAST HOPED, THAT YOUR CHARACTER WAS HEADG TOWARD A RNN WH AMY WHEN THE SERI END? BEE SHE’S EDY ROYALTY. I MEAN, STRANGERS WH CANDY, EAGLEHEART…A LN YEARS AGO, THE STG DIRECTOR OF THE STRANGERS WH CANDY MOVIE LIKED ME FOR ONE OF THE PARTS , BUT I THK SOMEBODY ELSE DIDN’T THE PRODUCTN TEAM. I ACTUALLY WENT TO NEW YORK AND DID A TABLE READ OF THAT MOVIE WH HER AND THEN ULTIMATELY DID NOT GET ST. BUT YEAH, THERE WAS KD OF A WEIRD NNECTN TO MARIA. I LOVE HER. SHE’S AN CREDIBLE ACTRS. SHE WENT TO JUILLIARD. SHE’S ONE OF THOSE ACTORS THAT MAK YOU BETTER WHEN YOU WORK OPPOSE THEM. WHEN THE ROLE WAS CREATED FOR HER, WE DID NOT KNOW THAT SEASON SIX WAS OUR LAST. I THK SOME PEOPLE KNEW THAT HER CHARACTER WOULD HAVE TO BE WRAPPED UP AND MOVED OUT OF THE WAY FOR THE OTHER ONE TO E BACK.MOST POPULAROUR FLAG MEANS DEATH SEASON 2: EXCLIVE FIRST LOOKBY SARAH CATHERALLFLORENCE PUGH SAYS CHRISTOPHER NOLAN “APOLOGIZED” FOR HER SMALL OPPENHEIMER ROLEBY SAVANNAH WALSHTHE GILD AGE WILL GET A LOT MORE OPERATIC SEASON 2BY RICHARD LAWSONSHE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE NTUED ON FOR A WHILE, AND THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A REALLY TERTG DYNAMIC THERE. AND FOR A LTLE B, SHE PLAYED AN ELEMENT THE FAL UNN TRAJECTORY AS WELL. BUT YOU DON’T HAVE A LOT OF REAL TATE WHEN SUDNLY YOU’RE 15 EPISOS STEAD OF 22, AND ’S THE END, AND YOU’RE TRYG TO GET AMERI [FERRERA] BACK AND EVERYTHG. SO BUMMED ME OUT, BEE FELT LIKE A MISSED OPPORTUNY, BUT THERE’S SO MANY GREAT THGS THAT ME OUT OF THIS.I FEEL LIKE I FISH EVERY ANSWER WH, “BUT JT TO BE CLEAR, I’M VERY HAPPY AND VERY LUCKY.” BUT YEAH, MARIA IS GREAT. I LOVE HER. AND WE BROUGHT A LOT OF THE EVEN SMALLER, TERSTIAL PEOPLE, ALL THE WAY DOWN TO BETSY SODARO THE END. THERE WAS A LOYALTY THAT STG AND THE PRODUCERS OF THIS SHOW FELT, AND I THK BEE OF , THERE WERE SO MANY GREAT PAYOFFS. LOYALTY TO THE CHARACTERS, THE B PARTS, THE TERSTIALS—JT SO MANY GREAT PEOPLE ME BACK. AND THEN DAVE FOLEY. SO YEAH, WAS FUN.IN TERMS OF THE COVID SAFETY RTRICTNS THAT WERE PLACE ON THE PRODUCTN, WAS THERE EVER ANY DOUBT THAT AMERI FERRERA WOULD, OR THAT SHE ULD, RETURN?NO. I MEAN, GETTG AMERI OM NEW YORK TO CALIFORNIA WAS IALLY SOMETHG THAT NEED TO BE FIGURED OUT, BUT AMERI’S ALSO WORKG ON GENTE-FIED, WHICH IS HER SHOW, AND SHE WAS DIRECTG. SO SHE WAS ACTUALLY GETTG TTED NSTANTLY OVER THERE ANYWAY. THERE ARE SO MANY L AND PROTOLS AND SAFETY MEASUR PLACE THAT ’S HARD NOT TO FEEL [SAFER] ON THE UNIVERSAL LOT. ONCE AGA, I SOUND LIKE A RPORATE SHILL, BUT FEELS SAFER ON THE UNIVERSAL LOT THAN DO GOG TO RE AID, OR EVEN WALKG DOWN THE STREET.ONCE YOU KNEW THE SHOW WAS ENDG, WAS THERE ANY BATE ABOUT A DIFFERENT ENDG FOR JONAH AND AMY’S LOVE STORY?I MEAN, MAYBE THERE WERE THOUGHTS. LOOK, WE’VE BEEN DOG THIS FOR A LONG TIME. WE CLIMBED THE MOUNTA. WE’RE TIRED; SO ARE THE FANS. EVERYBODY SHOULD GO HOME WH WHAT THEY WANT. HOW WE GOT THERE WAS A MASSIVE DISCSN THAT WAS SEEMGLY ENDLS. A LOT OF PEOPLE HAD A LOT OF OPNS, AND AMERI AND I AND THE WRERS AND THE OTHER PRODUCERS WERE JT A NSTANT, ONGOG DISCSN ABOUT THE LEVELS OF HOW HEATED GETS, AND HOW EMOTNAL GETS, AND HOW MUCH JONAH STANDS UP, HOW MUCH JONAH’S FIGHTG, PHG BACK. WHAT SHE WANTS, WHAT HE WANTS, WHAT WE LEARN ABOUT THEM THE FLASHBACK TERVIEWS [ THE FAL EPISO, WHEN WE SEE GLENN’S TAP OF ALL THE EMPLOYE’ IAL CLOUD 9 JOB TERVIEWS], AND HOW THAT SETS ON A PATH TO GET TO WHERE THEY ARE AT THE END. ALL OF THAT WAS A DISCSN THAT LERALLY WENT ON UNTIL THE SEND WE WRAPPED EACH DIVIDUAL SCENE. IT WAS GREAT TO HAVE AMERI BACK, BEE AMERI R A LOT TOO, AND AMERI HAS A LOT OF VERY THOUGHTFUL OPNS THAT SHE ULD ADD, AND SHE KNOWS HOW TO FIGHT FOR WHAT SHE LIK TOO.MOST POPULAROUR FLAG MEANS DEATH SEASON 2: EXCLIVE FIRST LOOKBY SARAH CATHERALLFLORENCE PUGH SAYS CHRISTOPHER NOLAN “APOLOGIZED” FOR HER SMALL OPPENHEIMER ROLEBY SAVANNAH WALSHTHE GILD AGE WILL GET A LOT MORE OPERATIC SEASON 2BY RICHARD LAWSONWE ALSO SEE THE FALE’S EPILOGUE THAT JONAH IS NNG FOR CY UNCIL. WHAT DO YOU THK HIS PLATFORM IS?IT’S FUNNY. WHEN I MET WH STUM FOR THAT, ALIX [HTER], WHO’S THE STUME SIGNER FOR OUR SHOW, HAD SOME IAS. AND I WAS LIKE, “HONTLY, ’S JT GOT TO BE BETO [O’ROURKE]. IT’S A SLEEV-ROLLED-UP, KD OF LOOSE TIE, MAYBE SWEATY ARMP, KD OF ON-THE-GROUND, FIGHTG-FOR-THE-LTLE-GUY THG.” SOMEONE ASKED BACK DURG THE BEGNG OF THE ELECTN CYCLE, THE LAST ONE, “WHICH NDIDATE WOULD SUPERSTORE BE IF WERE A NDIDATE?” AND WHOUT HATN, WAS ELIZABETH WARREN, I THOUGHT. AND I THK YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN A LOT OF WARREN-QUE QUALI [OM JONAH] THAT MPAIGN.SUPERSTORE WAS ONE OF JT A FEW SCRIPTED TV SHOWS THAT ADDRSED MATERIAL ISSU OM THE POT OF VIEW OF CHARACTERS THAT ARE REALLY STGGLG; TWO OTHERS, SHAMELS AND MOM, ARE ALSO ENDG THIS YEAR. CAN YOU TALK ABOUT HOW YOU THK THAT’LL AFFECT THE LANDSPE OF TV, PECIALLY NOW?I THK ONE OF THE THGS THAT WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT TO ME ABOUT OUR SHOW IS THAT WE WERE NOT ONLY REPRENTG THE WORKG CLASS OR THE STGGLG CLASS, BUT ALSO REPRENTG THE PART OF THEM THAT WERE ALSO SENTIAL AND THAT WERE RISKG THEIR LIV TO DO THE JOBS. AND I THK A REALLY WEIRD, SORT OF MORBID WAY, COVID ADD AN ENERGY TO OUR FAL SEASON THAT I THK WAS, A WAY, BETIFUL, AND A LOT OF BEME A LOVE LETTER TO THEM. WE PLAY THEM, AND THEN WE’D GO BACK TO OUR TRAILERS AND WE GO BACK HOME. AND WHEN COVID HAPPENED, WE ALL SPRTED BACK TO OUR HO, AND WE POSTMAT CHE FOOD FOR A YEAR. AND THE PEOPLE WE PLAYED ON TV—THE GOOFY, SILLY, BLUE-LLAR WORKERS—BEME HERO, AND WERE OUT THERE RISKG THEIR LIV FAR MORE THAN ANYBODY ELSE. SO I THK THIS SHOW WAS A TRIBUTE TO THEM.THERE WILL HOPEFULLY BE MORE OF THAT THE TELEVISN LANDSPE G UP. I THK ONE OF THE THGS WE PROVED IS THAT PEOPLE DO WANT TO SEE THEMSELV REFLECTED ON TELEVISN. A LOT OF TIM, PEOPLE SAY, “TELEVISN IS ABOUT PE. I DON’T WANT TO SEE MASKS ON YOUR SHOW,” OR, “I DON’T WANT TO SEE STGGL.” AND ’S LIKE, YEAH, TELEVISN IS ABOUT PE. THAT’S ONE THG IS. AND THAT’S WHY YOU WATCH DRAGON SHOWS OR WHATEVER. BUT SOMETIM PEOPLE WANT TO SEE THEMSELV ON TV, AND THAT, A WAY, IS AN PE—BEE ’S AN PE OM FEELG LONELY, AND ’S A REMR THAT YOU’RE SEEN AND THAT YOU ARE REPRENTED.SO I HOPE THAT WILL BE SOMETHG THAT NTU. WE SAID, “HEY, WE SEE YOU, WE ARE YOU, AND HERE’S OUR FUNNY TAKE ON . WE KNOW YOU’RE PRETTY PRSED WH ALL OF THIS STUFF.” WE FIGURED OUT, WHAT ARE PEOPLE TALKG ABOUT, AND HOW N WE MAKE FUNNY? AND IF WE ULDN’T FD A WAY TO MAKE FUNNY, WE WOULDN’T AIR —OR WOULD BE AN ICE RAID, AND WOULD BE THE END OF A SEASON. I THK THERE’S A EP HUNGER TO SEE THAT [REPRENTATN] ON TELEVISN, AND I’M SURE WE’RE GOG TO SEE MORE OF .WHERE TO WATCH SUPERSTORE:POWERED BYJTWATCHALL PRODUCTS FEATURED ON VANY FAIR ARE PENNTLY SELECTED BY OUR EDORS.

STAGNANT WAG, LTLE POSSIBILY OF ADVANCEMENT, WELL-FANCED UNN-BTG EFFORTS, THE NSTANT THREAT OF STORE CLOSURE: THE CHARACTERS HAVE WEATHERED ALL OF THE (AS WELL AS ACTUAL WEATHER, THE FORM OF A TORNADO THAT RAVAGED THE STORE THE SEASON TWO FALE). STILL, THERE HAVE BEEN MOMENTS OF GRACE, AS WHEN LIFER AMY (AMERI FERRERA) AND BS-SCHOOL DROPOUT JONAH (BEN FELDMAN) FALLY GOT TOGETHER AS A UPLE. A HUGE PROMOTN TO THE CALIFORNIA OFFICE OF CLOUD 9’S NEW PARENT PANY ZEPHRA BROKE THEM UP THE SEND EPISO OF THE SHOW’S SIXTH SEASON, WHEN FERRERA LEFT THE SHOW. THEN, EARLY DECEMBER, NBC ANNOUNCED THAT THE CURRENT SEASON WOULD BE S LAST.A SHORTER-THAN-EXPECTED SEASON WRAPPED UP WH AMY RETURNG, TRYG TO NVCE A ZEPHRA ANALYST TO KEEP THE OZARK HIGHLANDS LOTN OPEN WHILE 95% OF THE OTHER CLOUD 9 STOR CLOSE.

PHEW!I SPOKE TO BEN FELDMAN ABOUT HIS TIME ON THE SHOW, MAKG ONE OF THE FEW TV SERI ABOUT THE WORKG CLASS, AND THE GAP S PARTURE WILL LEAVE.VANY FAIR: YOU HAVE BEEN A UNN MEMBER FOR YOUR ENTIRE REER. WHAT HAS MEANT TO YOU TO GET TO TELL A STORY ABOUT LABOR THROUGH THE SIX SEASONS OF THE SHOW?BEN FELDMAN: I THK YOU DON’T SEE THIS DYNAMIC A LOT ON TELEVISN. IT’S A SRY STORY TO TELL, BEE WE ARE UNN MEMBERS, AND WE HAVE THIS DYNAMIC REAL LIFE. I WORK FOR NBC, WHICH IS UNIVERSAL AND COMST. THERE ARE RPORATE OVERLORDS, AND THERE ARE ELEMENTS OF GREED, OR EVEN JT SORT OF A DISTANT SEPARATN, BETWEEN THE PEOPLE ON THE GROUND AND THE PEOPLE UPSTAIRS. I THOUGHT WAS AN IMPORTANT STORY TO TELL, BEE YOU DON’T SEE THAT A LOT ON TELEVISN, AND PARTICULARLY THE WORKG-CLASS WORLD, WH THE BIG-BS GROCERY STOR OR BIG-BOX STOR, AND CERTALY RIGHT NOW WHEN [REAL-LIFE PEOPLE ARE] RISKG THEIR LIV TO SHOW UP TO THE JOBS. Y. IT’S ONE OF THE THGS I’M MOST PROUD OF, I THK, ON THIS SHOW.DID THE SHOW EVER NSIR MAKG THE UNN DRIVE SUCCSFUL, OR WAS MORE IMPORTANT TO TELL THE PRSG TTH THAN PRENT A HAPPY ENDG?I MEAN, YEAH. ASI OM THE CENTRAL ROMANCE, WE DON’T REALLY TRAFFIC HAPPY ENDGS. AND THAT’S, I THK, THE POT OF THE SHOW. THERE’S A MOMENT THE FAL MONOLOGUE THAT COLTON DUNN’S CHARACTER GARRETT ’S SOMETHG ALONG THE L OF, THERE’VE BEEN ALL THE KDS OF SHTY MOMENTS, AND THIS JOB IS SUCH A DDGE. IT’S HARD, AND ’S NOT FUN, AND THERE [ARE] SO MANY DRAWBACKS AND M. AND YET, HE WAS SAYG THE END, “ALL I N REMEMBER RIGHT NOW ARE THE GOOD TIM.”AND I THK, ULTIMATELY, THAT’S WHAT THE SHOW WAS ABOUT. IT WAS ABOUT THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU. IT WAS BASILLY, LIFE SUCKS; ENJOY THE MOMENTS YOU HAVE WH THE PEOPLE YOU HAVE. MAYBE IF WE WEREN’T NCELED AND WE HAD FUTURE SEASONS, THE UNN STORY WAS ONE OF THE TRAJECTORI [WE WOULD HAVE PURSUED]. MAYBE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A SMALL W, BUT I DON’T THK, ULTIMATELY, THERE EVER WOULD HAVE BEEN THIS BIG, THROW-YOUR-HANDS--THE-AIR-AND-CELEBRATE [MOMENT] IF YOU’RE TALKG ABOUT RPORATNS.IN TERMS OF HOW MUCH DARKER THGS ULD HAVE GONE, ’S BEEN REPORTED THAT ONE ABANDONED IA WAS FOR JONAH TO BE REVEALED AT THE END OF SEASON ONE AS A RPORATE SPY MONORG UNN ANIZG EFFORTS.

THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN FUN TO PLAY, AND THEN HE WOULD HAVE REALIZED, “THIS IS MY FAY AND I LOVE THEM, AND SO SCREW THIS WHOLE UNRVER THG THAT I’M DOG.” I DON’T THK THAT IA GAED A LOT OF TRACTN THE ROOM. I THK WAS JT AN IA THROWN OUT THERE, BUT YEAH—’S ALWAYS FUN TO PLAY A NFLICTED [PERSON] AND A VILLA.IT’S HARD TO E BACK OM, THOUGH.IT IS. OR WE WOULD HAVE BOUGHT BACK, AND WOULDN’T HAVE FELT VERY SATISFYG. A LOT OF TIM SHOWS WILL TRODUCE SOMETHG LIKE THAT AND THEN KD OF BUY BACK THE LAZIT, [MOST] UNFULFILLG WAY. AND THAT’S ANOTHER THG THAT THEY DON’T LOVE TO DO ON SUPERSTORE.WHAT DID YOU LEARN OM JONAH’S FIGHTS AGAST THE CLOUD 9 RPORATE MACHE?WELL, I MEAN…I LEARNED, AS SOMEONE THE MACHE REAL LIFE, AND WHO’S BEEN, I SHOULD SAY, VERY LUCKY, I SHOULDN’T BE PLAG ABOUT ANYTHG—I’M NOT TRYG TO SET YOU UP. THIS IS NOT A STG OPERATN.NO, OF URSE, OF URSE. BUT WH THAT VEAT ASI, I THK I LIVE REAL LIFE, AND WE GOT TO TELL THE STORI THE SHOW, AND THERE IS A SALMON ELEMENT TO . THERE’S ALWAYS AN UPSTREAM KD OF VIBE, LTLE BATTL HERE AND THERE. BUT THE LONG N, WHAT THEY’RE RARELY LOOKG OUT FOR IS THIS ALTISTIC IA OF OUR HAPPS, OUR HEALTH, AND OUR SAFETY, AND OUR PROSPERY. IT IS VERY RARELY, IF NOT NEVER, THAT. YOU LEARN THAT DOG REAL LIFE, AND YOU LEARN THAT PLAYG ON TV. THAT SAID, UNIVERSAL IS WONRFUL. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH, AND I NTUE TO WATCH AND WOULD LOVE TO BE A PART OF ANY OF THEIR FUTURE PROPERTI.LET’S TALK ABOUT THE FALE. WHAT WAS LIKE ACTG OPPOSE MARIA THAYER AS HANNAH FOR THOSE LAST FEW EPISOS WHEN YOU KNEW, AND SHE KNEW, AND EVERYONE WATCHG KNEW, OR AT LEAST HOPED, THAT YOUR CHARACTER WAS HEADG TOWARD A RNN WH AMY WHEN THE SERI END? BEE SHE’S EDY ROYALTY. I MEAN, STRANGERS WH CANDY, EAGLEHEART…A LN YEARS AGO, THE STG DIRECTOR OF THE STRANGERS WH CANDY MOVIE LIKED ME FOR ONE OF THE PARTS , BUT I THK SOMEBODY ELSE DIDN’T THE PRODUCTN TEAM. I ACTUALLY WENT TO NEW YORK AND DID A TABLE READ OF THAT MOVIE WH HER AND THEN ULTIMATELY DID NOT GET ST. BUT YEAH, THERE WAS KD OF A WEIRD NNECTN TO MARIA. I LOVE HER. SHE’S AN CREDIBLE ACTRS. SHE WENT TO JUILLIARD. SHE’S ONE OF THOSE ACTORS THAT MAK YOU BETTER WHEN YOU WORK OPPOSE THEM. WHEN THE ROLE WAS CREATED FOR HER, WE DID NOT KNOW THAT SEASON SIX WAS OUR LAST. I THK SOME PEOPLE KNEW THAT HER CHARACTER WOULD HAVE TO BE WRAPPED UP AND MOVED OUT OF THE WAY FOR THE OTHER ONE TO E BACK.MOST POPULAROUR FLAG MEANS DEATH SEASON 2: EXCLIVE FIRST LOOKBY SARAH CATHERALLFLORENCE PUGH SAYS CHRISTOPHER NOLAN “APOLOGIZED” FOR HER SMALL OPPENHEIMER ROLEBY SAVANNAH WALSHTHE GILD AGE WILL GET A LOT MORE OPERATIC SEASON 2BY RICHARD LAWSONSHE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE NTUED ON FOR A WHILE, AND THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A REALLY TERTG DYNAMIC THERE. AND FOR A LTLE B, SHE PLAYED AN ELEMENT THE FAL UNN TRAJECTORY AS WELL. BUT YOU DON’T HAVE A LOT OF REAL TATE WHEN SUDNLY YOU’RE 15 EPISOS STEAD OF 22, AND ’S THE END, AND YOU’RE TRYG TO GET AMERI [FERRERA] BACK AND EVERYTHG. SO BUMMED ME OUT, BEE FELT LIKE A MISSED OPPORTUNY, BUT THERE’S SO MANY GREAT THGS THAT ME OUT OF THIS.I FEEL LIKE I FISH EVERY ANSWER WH, “BUT JT TO BE CLEAR, I’M VERY HAPPY AND VERY LUCKY.” BUT YEAH, MARIA IS GREAT. I LOVE HER. AND WE BROUGHT A LOT OF THE EVEN SMALLER, TERSTIAL PEOPLE, ALL THE WAY DOWN TO BETSY SODARO THE END. THERE WAS A LOYALTY THAT STG AND THE PRODUCERS OF THIS SHOW FELT, AND I THK BEE OF , THERE WERE SO MANY GREAT PAYOFFS. LOYALTY TO THE CHARACTERS, THE B PARTS, THE TERSTIALS—JT SO MANY GREAT PEOPLE ME BACK. AND THEN DAVE FOLEY. SO YEAH, WAS FUN.IN TERMS OF THE COVID SAFETY RTRICTNS THAT WERE PLACE ON THE PRODUCTN, WAS THERE EVER ANY DOUBT THAT AMERI FERRERA WOULD, OR THAT SHE ULD, RETURN?NO. I MEAN, GETTG AMERI OM NEW YORK TO CALIFORNIA WAS IALLY SOMETHG THAT NEED TO BE FIGURED OUT, BUT AMERI’S ALSO WORKG ON GENTE-FIED, WHICH IS HER SHOW, AND SHE WAS DIRECTG. SO SHE WAS ACTUALLY GETTG TTED NSTANTLY OVER THERE ANYWAY. THERE ARE SO MANY L AND PROTOLS AND SAFETY MEASUR PLACE THAT ’S HARD NOT TO FEEL [SAFER] ON THE UNIVERSAL LOT. ONCE AGA, I SOUND LIKE A RPORATE SHILL, BUT FEELS SAFER ON THE UNIVERSAL LOT THAN DO GOG TO RE AID, OR EVEN WALKG DOWN THE STREET.ONCE YOU KNEW THE SHOW WAS ENDG, WAS THERE ANY BATE ABOUT A DIFFERENT ENDG FOR JONAH AND AMY’S LOVE STORY?I MEAN, MAYBE THERE WERE THOUGHTS. LOOK, WE’VE BEEN DOG THIS FOR A LONG TIME. WE CLIMBED THE MOUNTA. WE’RE TIRED; SO ARE THE FANS. EVERYBODY SHOULD GO HOME WH WHAT THEY WANT. HOW WE GOT THERE WAS A MASSIVE DISCSN THAT WAS SEEMGLY ENDLS. A LOT OF PEOPLE HAD A LOT OF OPNS, AND AMERI AND I AND THE WRERS AND THE OTHER PRODUCERS WERE JT A NSTANT, ONGOG DISCSN ABOUT THE LEVELS OF HOW HEATED GETS, AND HOW EMOTNAL GETS, AND HOW MUCH JONAH STANDS UP, HOW MUCH JONAH’S FIGHTG, PHG BACK. WHAT SHE WANTS, WHAT HE WANTS, WHAT WE LEARN ABOUT THEM THE FLASHBACK TERVIEWS [ THE FAL EPISO, WHEN WE SEE GLENN’S TAP OF ALL THE EMPLOYE’ IAL CLOUD 9 JOB TERVIEWS], AND HOW THAT SETS ON A PATH TO GET TO WHERE THEY ARE AT THE END. ALL OF THAT WAS A DISCSN THAT LERALLY WENT ON UNTIL THE SEND WE WRAPPED EACH DIVIDUAL SCENE. IT WAS GREAT TO HAVE AMERI BACK, BEE AMERI R A LOT TOO, AND AMERI HAS A LOT OF VERY THOUGHTFUL OPNS THAT SHE ULD ADD, AND SHE KNOWS HOW TO FIGHT FOR WHAT SHE LIK TOO.MOST POPULAROUR FLAG MEANS DEATH SEASON 2: EXCLIVE FIRST LOOKBY SARAH CATHERALLFLORENCE PUGH SAYS CHRISTOPHER NOLAN “APOLOGIZED” FOR HER SMALL OPPENHEIMER ROLEBY SAVANNAH WALSHTHE GILD AGE WILL GET A LOT MORE OPERATIC SEASON 2BY RICHARD LAWSONWE ALSO SEE THE FALE’S EPILOGUE THAT JONAH IS NNG FOR CY UNCIL. WHAT DO YOU THK HIS PLATFORM IS?IT’S FUNNY. WHEN I MET WH STUM FOR THAT, ALIX [HTER], WHO’S THE STUME SIGNER FOR OUR SHOW, HAD SOME IAS. AND I WAS LIKE, “HONTLY, ’S JT GOT TO BE BETO [O’ROURKE]. IT’S A SLEEV-ROLLED-UP, KD OF LOOSE TIE, MAYBE SWEATY ARMP, KD OF ON-THE-GROUND, FIGHTG-FOR-THE-LTLE-GUY THG.” SOMEONE ASKED BACK DURG THE BEGNG OF THE ELECTN CYCLE, THE LAST ONE, “WHICH NDIDATE WOULD SUPERSTORE BE IF WERE A NDIDATE?” AND WHOUT HATN, WAS ELIZABETH WARREN, I THOUGHT. AND I THK YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN A LOT OF WARREN-QUE QUALI [OM JONAH] THAT MPAIGN.SUPERSTORE WAS ONE OF JT A FEW SCRIPTED TV SHOWS THAT ADDRSED MATERIAL ISSU OM THE POT OF VIEW OF CHARACTERS THAT ARE REALLY STGGLG; TWO OTHERS, SHAMELS AND MOM, ARE ALSO ENDG THIS YEAR. CAN YOU TALK ABOUT HOW YOU THK THAT’LL AFFECT THE LANDSPE OF TV, PECIALLY NOW?I THK ONE OF THE THGS THAT WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT TO ME ABOUT OUR SHOW IS THAT WE WERE NOT ONLY REPRENTG THE WORKG CLASS OR THE STGGLG CLASS, BUT ALSO REPRENTG THE PART OF THEM THAT WERE ALSO SENTIAL AND THAT WERE RISKG THEIR LIV TO DO THE JOBS. AND I THK A REALLY WEIRD, SORT OF MORBID WAY, COVID ADD AN ENERGY TO OUR FAL SEASON THAT I THK WAS, A WAY, BETIFUL, AND A LOT OF BEME A LOVE LETTER TO THEM. WE PLAY THEM, AND THEN WE’D GO BACK TO OUR TRAILERS AND WE GO BACK HOME. AND WHEN COVID HAPPENED, WE ALL SPRTED BACK TO OUR HO, AND WE POSTMAT CHE FOOD FOR A YEAR. AND THE PEOPLE WE PLAYED ON TV—THE GOOFY, SILLY, BLUE-LLAR WORKERS—BEME HERO, AND WERE OUT THERE RISKG THEIR LIV FAR MORE THAN ANYBODY ELSE. SO I THK THIS SHOW WAS A TRIBUTE TO THEM.THERE WILL HOPEFULLY BE MORE OF THAT THE TELEVISN LANDSPE G UP. I THK ONE OF THE THGS WE PROVED IS THAT PEOPLE DO WANT TO SEE THEMSELV REFLECTED ON TELEVISN. A LOT OF TIM, PEOPLE SAY, “TELEVISN IS ABOUT PE. I DON’T WANT TO SEE MASKS ON YOUR SHOW,” OR, “I DON’T WANT TO SEE STGGL.” AND ’S LIKE, YEAH, TELEVISN IS ABOUT PE. THAT’S ONE THG IS. AND THAT’S WHY YOU WATCH DRAGON SHOWS OR WHATEVER. BUT SOMETIM PEOPLE WANT TO SEE THEMSELV ON TV, AND THAT, A WAY, IS AN PE—BEE ’S AN PE OM FEELG LONELY, AND ’S A REMR THAT YOU’RE SEEN AND THAT YOU ARE REPRENTED.SO I HOPE THAT WILL BE SOMETHG THAT NTU. WE SAID, “HEY, WE SEE YOU, WE ARE YOU, AND HERE’S OUR FUNNY TAKE ON . WE KNOW YOU’RE PRETTY PRSED WH ALL OF THIS STUFF.” WE FIGURED OUT, WHAT ARE PEOPLE TALKG ABOUT, AND HOW N WE MAKE FUNNY? AND IF WE ULDN’T FD A WAY TO MAKE FUNNY, WE WOULDN’T AIR —OR WOULD BE AN ICE RAID, AND WOULD BE THE END OF A SEASON.
