I wanted to work with these people and get to know them.
We had dinner and a lot of fun, Burnett shared.

So it was a slam dunk.
She added, I did read the script; I was kidding before.
And they let me do what I do.
Ricky in some of those scenes was just heaven.

Being an African American in 1969 and a woman is a very specific period for us.
We were dealing with things that werent as luxurious as the clothes that Kristen [Wiig] was buying.
Shes dealing with being a fish out of water in this place and time and navigating that.
I think we did a really good job.
With premiere coming along quickly, Burnett is already looking toward the future.

At my age, its a joy to be anywhere.
[Laughs] This was something special to me.
I hope theres a second season because I dont want to be out of work.
