The Emmy Nominations
‘We’re still shocked we’re on television at all, let alone getting nominations. This is all just so surreal. I always tell people, “Imagine if you put on a play with your cousin in a basement for your aunts and uncles and you’re nominated for a Tony” -- that’s what this is like.’
