Hello and the

the Award season podcast from Vanity Fair.

I am delighted and proud to introduce him as Academy Award winner.

And the Oscar goes to.

And the Oscar goes to the winner. It's a tie. And any little girl who's, who's,

and any little girl who's practicing their speech on the teller you never know.

Ma'am, I hit this world in Oscar. I am David Canfield and I'm here for this week's interview episode with Richard Lawson.

Hi Richard.

Hello. We have. Hi Richard. Hello.

We have an NBC special today.

We got on the NBC icon end of the spectrum,

Morishka Hargate, who you spoke with from Law Law and Order Sview, a little show that some of us may have heard of.

And then we have on the, you know, slightly fresher breakout side of things, although he is a past Emmy nominee for his roles,

I'm very excited to have on the show.
