"Another Period" Creator/Stars Talk Time Travel and the Kardashians

I'm here with Natasha Leggero and Ricky Lindhome.

Great to see you.

Nice to see you.

You look hot. You both look really hot.

Thank you.

I like the nails, the lips, the matching situation.

Oh, I didn't even realize.

I like that you're kind of, you could almost be like a bit of like a period costume from here up, but then

Well, period.

Well, the '60s.

Well, maybe like maybe like the 1902 era, I don't know. It looks '60s to me. With like the the blunt bangs and it looks very like supermodel. But then very not elegant. I'm dressed up as myself for Comic-Con. Would you guys ever dress up for Comic-Con? Or no?

100% no.

I think it would depend on what.

So you would never do this. You do look cute though, I gotta say.

Thanks.

Even with a piece of cheese on my head?

Yes, especially with it. It's like a cheese beret. I love it. I love it. So let's talk about another period. First of all, I love this. Would you guys I've read that it's like a combination between Downton Abbey and the Kardashians. Which of the two would you most likely be binge-watching at home?

Kardashians.

Okay, why?

Because The Kardashians is hilarious. It's a funny show. I've been watching it for years. I love it. But people actually watch it in it's serious. So you watch it in and take it.

See, I laugh when I watch it.

I laugh too. It's so I think they they're in on it. They they know it's funny for sure. But but Ricky actually believes that they're feminists. Do you?

How so?

How so?

Because they don't they're not waiting to see what Rob thinks, or what Bruce.

Yeah, Rob's not even allowed to talk.

I mean, not Bruce now, but what Bruce thought like they were just in the back. Like they were they were like they they capitalize on everything they've got. They, you know, they get make money like with their assets like they've like figured it out. I don't know. I think they're feminists.

Yeah, and Scott too. Scott's

Yeah, who's that? You know, he's like she's not waiting to see what he wants to do. She's like, "We're going to the Hamptons." He's like, "Oh man, that was a thing."

Hi, Claude. Oh my god, we could be the three sisters. Who do you want to be?

I really, I don't know. Like I kinda like Courtney because she just doesn't give a

Okay, I'll be Who do you want to be?

I would like to be none of them.

I'll be Kim then. Okay. And it just talks like that. I love it. So why would you most likely be watching Downton Abbey over

Oh, um because I have the K-Dashes. I have taste.

Okay. Got it. Got it. So you guys writers, producers, actors, actors, in this series, um creators.

Creators doing this, everything.

Producers.

Producers and writers.

Sort of like, how did this come about? How did, you know, the idea? Because it's a brilliant concept. I love it.

Thank you. Um, well, Ricky and I really wanted to create something together and so

Am I talking too loud?

No, not at all. Oh. Okay, so Ricky.

We have ambient noise going on.

Oh. Okay. Let's try to get them. I was gonna make them shut up. Um, so Ricky and I really wanted to create something together and then we just start started brainstorming different ideas and then you know, this was a combination of two different ideas. Well, two totally different worlds. Well, like I had this idea for a fake reality show but it had been it's already been done so much. And then I had this idea for this show that takes place in 1902. And then Ricky was like, "Why don't we combine those two shows?" And then we just started flushing it out and thinking about it. And then we went to Newport to to research these places and it just started writing itself.

But this this actually this society existed back then and these sort of rich sort of women.

100% and you can still see the remnants of it. A lot of the houses are still there and they're now, you know, national treasures because there's nothing else that old and that like that in America.

Now, did I read, did I think you you might have said this, they didn't pay taxes then? Is that true?

Income tax had not been introduced as a principle in America until like 1915 around.

Yeah, whose idea was that?

Well, it's Well, they lost all their money.

Do you know any rich people who pay taxes now? Oh, that's actually a really good point. That's a really good point. How do you think the two of you would have fared if you lived in that era? Because I feel like you're both very strong women, very outspoken. Women were a little different back then. If somebody put you in a time machine and put you plopped you in, you know, that era.

I feel like I would have been a scrubber woman who started having sex with the master of the house. That's I was gonna say that. I'm not even kidding.

I feel like I would have been like a servant for some reason who was like trying to work my way up in any way I could.

Yeah.

That's funny. And because we are at Comic-Con and we're talking time travel, where are you guys going? When are you guys going? If I'm putting you in a time machine, where would you like to When would you like to go to?

I don't know. What do you think? I really like all time periods. I don't

Definitely the past. I mean, probably the '70s just because the music and the drugs.

I feel like I would go to the future and like figure out how to save the Earth. And then come back with like the answers. I'd be like, "It's weird. I just thought of this thing." Like figure out like what they're doing then. And I would just want to party.

I see why this combination works works so well together. Um, I love you both. I think you're both hilarious. Who makes the two of you laugh the most? When you're What you mean from our show? Just in general. Like what what comedians or what actors?

I mean, I know that we both feel the same way about our show and our favorite I think our favorite is Mike. Because like he's so funny. He's our butler Peepers. And you know, we sat through the whole editing process, you know, which was a long time, seven months?

Yeah.

Oh, editors too. Did I miss that?

Well, we're not editing but we are there. We're there annoying them every second. We're like, "One more frame." What? No. Yeah. I feel like, oh, I look really good there. I don't care if my performance is bad. I just like really care. I should be on the

It's hard to get It's hard to get over that. You have to. You have to be like, it's weird to look at your face in HD for seven months. In a windowless room. We almost quit.

Just so you know, we put Vaseline over the lenses at Young Hollywood because I like to myself blurry. I look better blurry. Everyone does. Um, thank you both so much for coming.

Thank you.

Thanks for having us.

A lot of fun.

Congrats on the show.

Thank you.

I hope you guys made this show.

Thanks.

Thank you.
