A complete loser at all the awards (laughs). But it’s nice to realize that people who I want and think should be successful are being so successful that it’s making the show a little bit harder to do, but it’s been really great to take as much time off as we did and have people be excited about it coming back.”

All shows are of equal money and value, and this one is no different.” Even though it has been a long time since the announcement of the renewal, we still do not have any specific release date.
