Topics
Paul W. Downs: 我一直对能成为柯南·奥布莱恩的朋友感到非常激动，这是一种荣幸。我从小时候就开始制作内容，但我觉得单口喜剧很孤独，所以我需要一个团队。和朋友一起做节目，然后去餐馆聊天，这是一种特殊的语言。我们不断地试图让彼此发笑，Lucia总是说要追随乐趣。在片场平衡时间和预算，同时保持自由地探索和追随乐趣是一个真正的挑战。我一直觉得女孩比男孩更有趣，Lucia是最好的观众。 Conan O'Brien: 我总是怀疑那些试图创作喜剧的节目，但《黑客》是我见过的最接近真实的喜剧创作方式。当喜剧变成生意时，保持乐趣是一个挑战。我最喜欢的喜剧是那些能让人感受到创作者是在为自己而做的。Jean Smart可以触及所有音符，她需要一个能展现她才华的角色。我通过你们的节目重新体验了我的深夜节目，我们很想邀请你上节目。你们让我对Deborah Vance的命运产生了情感上的投入，你和Megan Stalter饰演的Kayla之间的关系，我以前从未在电视上见过。 Sona Movsesian: 我希望所有动物都能在野外生存。你有双迷人的眼睛。 Matt Gourley: 我曾经和一个莎士比亚AI聊过天，只是好奇。我很早就开始接触AI了，那时它还不流行。我今天早上看到了两只郊狼，当时很担心它们，不希望它们死去。
