You’ve said you appreciate how positive people are here in the US generally. We had to let people know there was a show here, and this is a show that would reach a wider audience, that we could find a reach, and that’s what we just did. We just knew that we had to hit the ground running. You can only make a first impression once, and so on our first show to do that bit with Tom Hanks where we recreated his film career and then on our third show to put out the first Carpool Karaoke, and then I think on our seventh show we went and just did the show completely randomly in somebody’s house.
We really threw everything we could at the show. We’re not coming with any kind of, “Ugh, that guy, ugh.” You know? You could sit for a long time, going, “Oh, my God, nobody has a clue who I am here.” And then you can go, “Oh, my God, nobody has a clue who I am here!” And the moment of discovery is great, like, I’m not coming with any baggage actually. I think what we decided to do, which was the only choice we had on the show really, was take all of the things that people would see as weaknesses and try and make them strengths and use them to our advantage.
