ETonline: What did you make of ABC's Save Happy Endings campaign, which some fans have found a little insulting?
Wilson: On the one hand, I'll take any promotion, but we were sort of laughing. Like, isn't ABC the one who can truly save the show? [laughs] My girlfriend asked me, "Can I watch it more?" Like, what are you supposed to do? [laughs] The campaign has raised awareness, so it is a mixed bag. Maybe I'm completely naive, but I feel like we're going to stick around. We're making a funny show that's a different kind of sitcom. Our fans, or as I call them, Visionaries, have been loving what we're doing and I'm really happy about that.
ETonline: I've loved Penny's arc this season as we've seen her get what she thinks she wants with Pete. What's your take on her season three journey?
Wilson: It's been great to ground her a bit -- I don't think she's so crazy she couldn't get a great guy. Of course Penny's most likely going to destroy it [laughs]. But I think the comedy comes from those girls who want something so strongly and then they get it and it's like, "Ugh." [laughs] It's so funny to me that all these women ever wanted is to have a baby and then the next day, they're like, "Being pregnant is the worst."

ETonline: And then the second episode is about Max dating a woman just because she has Bulls season tickets, right?
Wilson: [laughs] Exactly. Max is just shameless -- shameless! -- in pursuit of Bulls tickets. And Abby Elliot guest stars as that woman. We were on Saturday Night Live together, and I just love her so much. It was fun having her on-set.
ETonline: Abby is just coming off an arc on How I Met Your Mother and you are going to be in the season finale. In those instances, do you ring her up to get some set-navigating tips?
Wilson: Absolutely! She texted me, "You're going to love How I Met Your Mommy," and I was dying that she's been calling it "How I Met Your Mommy." I filmed my scenes last week and they're just the nicest group over there. They're class acts, and I have a real girl crush on Cobie Smulders. Like, I was getting nervous talking to her because I really look up to her ... and then I realized she's younger than me [laughs].
ETonline: What can you say about your character?
Wilson: She's a real bitch. I'll leave it there. She's not someone anyone would want to hang out with.

It's so sad, I wish Casey be the mommy =/
ReplyDeleteLast night's episodes were great. The ratings weren't any better or worse than the last new episodes, which is both awful and great. I really hope we get a fourth season!
