For me, it was more a dramatic shift to go from the stage to the screen.
I mean, the competition is really created by the buzz around the Emmys. It's a totally subjective thing.
I think anybody would be hard pressed not to relate to at least one of the characters, because there's so many different multifaceted people populating this crazy world.
I think we're really - we're doing a really great job doing our show, and other shows are doing a great job doing theirs, and we'll just see what people have to say.
So it's really nice after about a year and a half to get back on stage and flex those old muscles.
When we started doing this show, we knew it was going to be good and we knew it would probably develop a cult audience, but at the same time, I don't think we anticipated that it would appeal to such a wide range of people, but looking back, I guess it makes sense that it does.
Yes, I mean, There's nothing like it. There is an added sense of pressure because of that, but there's also nothing like the thrill you get being in the same space with that audience right there and then. And when you do it, it's over.
