But Netflix, too.)

ET, all ten episodes of season 1 started rolling out.
(The episodes will then air traditionally, one a week, starting next Jan. And its not just a conveyor belt of season 1 that circles around five times.
Jones leads the cast through a choreographed dance to Whip/Nae Nae.
(I wanted to dance, she later explains with a cheery shrug.)
Her co-star Andree Vermeulen throws down a free-styleAngierap.
Guest stars David Koechner and John Michael Higgins pretend to be superfans showing off their disturbing fan art.
(He could not.)
Thatll will leave a mark on Jones for awhile.
I dont want to question it but I definitely havent processed that.
Im freaking out a little.
She has also been informed that Burnett may be be interested in guesting on the show.
Im so into that!
She can play Tribeca, I dont care!
And particularly for this show because its so silly, it lends itself to a little bit of gluttony.
With a show this silly, you wonder: What is the most ridiculous injury she suffered during filming?
An animal pooped on my hand, she recalls.
Will you take a look at it?
And I pull up a mole animal and it was pooping on my hand.
I mean, he doesnt know.
So, animal poop.
Cole knows a little bit of that; hes trying to keep the proceedings running smoothly.
Im losing my mind but its cool, he jokes, decompressing in his dressing room during hour five.
Ive never talked this long ever on live television in my life.
I dressed up as a geisha and that was crazy, he says.
I still had my goatee through the white makeup.
I didnt know it took that long to get on those outfits, though.
I was I was like, Whoa!
Do we need to be this authentic with that?
Why cant I just put on a gown and a belt and call it a day?
Heres another question with no transition: How did his talk with the pet psychic go?
It was incredibly, crazily great, he says, though he laments that they ran out of time.
I really wanted to get into her, he continues.
Like, where did you go to high school?
Was this a requirement class, or what?
Howd you even get into this?
What was the first animal you talked to?
Work your way up?
Were you talking to goldfish first?
Meanwhile, the Carells have been marveling at the absurdity of the scene.
They admit that they initially werent sure of this whole marathon launch idea.
The couple spent a little time on the phone bank, too, chatting up fans.
But he seemed to be enjoying the show.
He shakes his head in objection.
People were just happy about the show, he demurs.
And thats kind of what were getting from all of this.
The intent is being made, offers Nancy.
Were trying, he adds.
Its tough to find the right tone, says Steve.
There are really no rules to it whats funny and whats not.
We made it just in part because we wanted to see something like this and it makes us laugh.
And we figured, you know what?
If its good, itll be an appreciative audience.
And maybe a very tired one, too.
