I saw online that youre directing an episode of this season after directing two on the original run.
What was it like suddenly going from directing it on CBS to directing it on Paramount+?

Aisha Tyler: Oh, its been great.
Now were on streaming, and honestly the streaming world is much more expansive.
Really spending more time with the characters, with their emotional lives.
Really delivering something that feels filmic, and feels resonant and expansive.
