“We all want it to happen. We just have to wait until it is safe,” she told the publication. “This is a show that is not scripted, but this is the way the show works – we are going to need a live audience.

“It’s five, right? That was a joke,” he laughed. “Being on the actual sound stage on the actual set for the first time in 10 years, the set that we shot on for 10 years, that to me is going to be a really meaningful experience.”
