… Its not pain, its really just discomfort and the knee being swollen and the inflammation.

Im definitely hobbling but the cortisone shot is actually taken into effect already … Hes like, This is a proper athlete tear, and Im like Get out of here!

And I was like, Im so nervous about this cortisone shot.

Hes like, Ive never seen anybody with this kind of pain tolerance.

I think it was just a lot of action on the knee.

Youre scheduled to be back at work tomorrow.

I (a) could run up there, right?

Because of the adrenaline.

I (b) could be escorted by the most amazing Chris Sullivan.

I have not asked him that.

(C), there could be a ramp.

(D), they could bring the Globe to me at the table.

You know, theres options.

(laughs) So, were going to have to see.

Sounds like youll be there, doctors be damned.I wouldnt miss this!

But Im like, Guys, we have so many rules that we have to abide by.

They can show all kinds of naughty things and speak naughty words.

So I feel like that in itself we should get an award for…

Youre up against Mandy Moore.

And I was like, Yeah.

Yeah, I guess it is.

How often do you see two people from the same show nominated in the same category?

So thats super cool to me.

I think that was it.
