Okay, because I love Tina Fey.

Yeah.

I play Allura Grant.

She is kind of this badass,

really tough family law attorney.

Definitely tougher than me.

Like, I had to be a little firmer and nastier

than I typically would be,

but she has a great group of friends.

Dina, AKA Glenn, is our mentor,

and you'll have to see all that in the show.

Who are Kim Kardashian's lifers?

Mm, you met them last night.

It's a group of seven of us that we grew up with,

they're gonna freak out that this is one of the questions,

since we were in like preschool, kindergarten,

and we're still best friends to this day.

It's just so fun to have girlfriends that

you've known your whole life

and just, we love and support everything each other does.

That's incredible.

Probably around 65,000, 70,000 people.

if we have the time. 70,000?

Yeah.

Well, we got a bill passed called the First Step Act

that was able to, if you qualified under that,

you were able to get out.

So individually, there's been a bunch,

but through the bills, we've been able to get out more.

Wow.

Okay.

I speak a little bit of French.

Oh, I never knew that.

When we go to Paris next week,

you'll order dinner for us, right?

It's all in the present though.

I have terrible, you know, vocabulary, yeah.

Okay. I have a very good accent.

But I went to a school in Switzerland for two years

and every other week, we were supposed to speak French.

Was this the, like, billionaire school that's,

of Switzerland or something? No. [chuckles]

I saw it on TikTok. It was called St. George's-

Yeah, I know those billionaire schools.

It's called St. George's School in Switzerland.

Ms. Codrington was the head mistress,

and it was an amazing, you know, collection of girls.

Hmm, I love an all-girls school.

Can I answer that one?

[Director] Sure.

She has a great voice and she does sing.

I don't know if like proper opera, but I hear it.

I did a movie called Meeting Venus,

And so, I did, I can't...

[Glenn singing in foreign language]

Yeah.

That's so amazing.

I wish I could sing like that.

Okay, does Glenn close ride horses?

I do.

I do ride horses.

I love that.

Yeah, I grew up riding little feisty Shetland ponies

that when they got tired,

would just scrape you off on a tree and go home. [chuckles]

It's like learning how to drive

on a stick shift Volkswagen or something.

I just ride for pleasure.

My daughter, however, was a competitive rider,

jumping fast and high.

[Director] Like that.

Okay.

What is Kim Kardashian's morning routine?

Mm, okay, so I get up at 6:45,

brush my teeth real quick, all that,

then wake up, usually two kids are always in my bed

and one's either on the floor or on the couch,

they just love to sleep in my room and they trade off,

and then I get them ready.

Always do my sons' hair.

Usually, one of my kids can get themselves

their hair done really well.

So I get two ready.

They're on different campuses,

so I'm talking about the little kids, three littles.

My older is on a different campus.

Get in the car, mad rush,

get breakfast, pack the snacks,

and we're out the door.

Take them to school, come back, work out at 9:30,

and then start my day.

I'm exhausted just listening to that.

[both giggling]

What's Kim Kardashian's nickname?

My nieces and nephews call me Auntie Kiki.

So I think that's really it, Kiki.

Kiks, Khloe kind of shorten that from Kiki to Kiks.

What does Kim Kardashian use for skincare?

Lots of things.

Right now, I have like two different routines that I like.

I just went to Korea and got so much skincare,

so I'm really into all the magic potions and all this.

There's a brand Medicube that is like just revolutionary.

There's also a brand in London called Keren Bartov.

I actually have to get it for you.

Thanks.

And it's really good.

Okay, how long has Glenn Close been acting?

Over 50 years.

Wow. [whispers]

I'm very proud of it.

Is that your longest relationship?

Yes.

[both laughing]

[Kim] What musicals has Glenn Close been in?

Gosh, I've been in Barnum, I've been in Rex.

Both of those were on Broadway.

Oh, Sunset Boulevard.

Was it so challenging?

Yes.

I've actually heard you and Sarah talk about Broadway

and your love for Broadway,

and wanting to be on and that commitment.

And then all behind the scenes

when we're waiting for scenes,

you guys, kind of everyone, Naomi and everyone,

you guys always talk about your friends

that are in different Broadway shows and plays,

and that you want to go see

and what you have seen and what's really good.

So I hear you talking about it.

It's basically, it's basically

the phenomenon of theater is it's live.

[Kim] Yeah.

And that the audience is different every night.

Yeah.

And I always consider the audience my collaborator.

So you have to finish, you have a performance,

it's finished with the people who are there

to experience the play or the musical or anything.

It's phenomenal.

Isn't that interesting that, like, just the vibe

could either be the best energy ever

or just a night it could be off

and it kind of throws you off.

I was in a Tom Stoppard play once

and my character was bright but not as articulate

as the character that Jeremy Irons was playing.

And I remember I said a line one time

and I heard a woman go, [tongue tutting],

I wanted to say, Excuse me, who is that?

Who is that, who is that?

Did you honestly hear what I said?

Do you wanna...

I was like [yelps].

You gotta just keep going.

Yeah, thrilling though, I could imagine.

[Glenn] Yeah.

Okay, Glenn Close, Kim Kardashian show.

That's all it says, Glenn Close, Kim Kardashian show.

It's All's Fair.

Yup, you have it right here-

Yes, that it is. ... on WIRED.

You can Google it as much as you want.

I was the only one who had never done a Ryan Murphy show.

I think we all signed on before we read anything.

It wasn't even written.

It wasn't, yeah. He wrote it for us.

Yeah.

So I have to say,

50 years as an actor coming into this particular set,

I was intimidated, you know?

You don't know kind of the territory

and the energy, the tone.

And it took me a while to get acclimatized actually.

The thing that I started really loving

was the connection that we all had,

and it just got better and better and better

as the season progressed, and it's genuine.

And that to me, whether you are aware of it or not,

I think you will kind of subliminally sense it

when you watch the show

no matter what crazy, outrageous things are going on.

I think so too. Yeah.

[Director] Fantastic.

I thought that was really fun.

Yeah. I learned more about Kim.

I learned so much about you.

So thank you WIRED for having us.

Thank you.
