\nElsbeth Tascioni has wrapped her final case of the season. While the critically acclaimed CBS hit has settled into what feels like an effortless groove, propelled by its charmingly quirky eponymous hero and the best guest-cast on TV \u2014 this season alone featuring standout villainous turns from the likes of Stephen Colbert, Dianne Wiest, Amy Sedaris and Steve Buscemi \u2014 it remains a marathon for star Carrie Preston. A marathon she\u2019s grateful for, to be sure \u2014 but as demanding a gig as she\u2019s ever had. The True Blood <\/em>and Claws <\/em>alum, who won an Emmy for playing Elsbeth in her previous iteration on The Good Wife<\/em>, remains dynamite in her first-ever lead TV role after decades of supporting and guest parts \u2014 as original and unusual a protagonist as you\u2019d expect to find on broadcast network.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe season three finale saw Elsbeth\u2019s son Teddy (Ben Levi Ross) movingly propose to his boyfriend, Roy (Hayward Leach). Kaya (Carra Patterson) returned again after being absent most of the season, undercover and overlapping with Elsbeth\u2019s case of the week. And Patti LuPone proved to be one hell of a guest-star-note to go out on, portraying a cabaret singer holding onto her beloved New York apartment for dear life.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn an exclusive post-finale conversation below, Preston reflected on Kaya\u2019s season three absence and why we might see more of her going forward, how LuPone made her cry, and why she\u2019s relieved that going forward, Elsbeth <\/em>will be classified as a comedy at the Emmys.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t***<\/p>\n

\nWas there a guest star this season where you were like, \u201cI cannot believe I\u2019m acting with this person right now\u201d while working?\u00a0<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSo many of those, but I will say Dianne Wiest. Hannah and Her Sisters<\/em>, her performance in that, it\u2019s just something that is indelible in my brain and everything since. I was such an epic fan of hers. And then to look in her face, be able to act with that face? Poor thing, she had to wear a nun\u2019s habit all day long. We were shooting in this church in Hamilton Heights and it was not the most comfortable set. But she was a dream.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nYou also get Patti LuPone singing to you in the finale.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI don\u2019t know how they edited it, but she made me weep.<\/p>\n

\nIt\u2019s there. It just speaks to what the show is overall \u2014 it\u2019s not too common in network TV where you can have this long moment of watching you overcome with emotion at the sight of Patti LuPone singing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tThat moment was one of those where I zoom out and look at my life through the eyes of the little-girl me. I said to Patti\u2019s face, \u201cI don\u2019t know what I did in life to be so lucky to have someone like you come and do this show with me. I don\u2019t know.\u201d I have that moment with so many people. Tracey Ullman came onto our show a second time, playing a completely different character. I\u2019m so proud of us that we\u2019re a show that can do that. [Showrunner Jonathan] Tolins was saying he\u2019d like to see an entire season of Elsbeth<\/em> where Tracey Ullman plays all the villains. A lot of the audience won\u2019t even know that that\u2019s a different actor \u2014 that\u2019s how good she is \u2014 but especially on a network show, which tends to sometimes be a little more tentative. \u201cWhat we know works\u201d and \u201cdon\u2019t do anything new.\u201d Hats off to CBS for saying you can be creative in the network space, and they\u2019re letting us do that.<\/p>\n

\nThe finale had a few meta touches, but one of them was the simultaneous airing of the fictional procedural <\/strong>Father Crime<\/em><\/strong>, which had appeared on <\/strong>Elsbeth <\/em><\/strong>previously. There\u2019s a line about how they shoot in New York, so they get all the best guest actors.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tThat\u2019s what I love about the writers, they always like to put little moments in there where the audience is aware that we are aware that we\u2019re doing a show. It\u2019s a touch that elevates it from your traditional procedural.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nIt was nice to see Kaya back in the finale too, in a new secret identity. How did it feel doing the season with a lot less of her at least, only three episodes total?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tOh, I miss her. I miss her so much. I love it when she\u2019s there. But I think everything happens for a reason. Carra just had another child and was able to be with the family, and those hours are long. It was great she got that time and then when she came back, she was ready to be back. Hopefully we\u2019ll have her back more next season. I know she wants to. But it\u2019s also been wonderful for the character because we see what that friendship means to her by it being absent. It\u2019s such a welcome thing when Elsbeth gets her back. And also for the Kaya character, she gets to be in an interesting and dangerous thing on her own. Elsbeth wants Kaya to thrive.<\/p>\n

\nWhat were you excited to explore with Elsbeth as a character this season?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI really liked what we did with Alec the mayor-elect (Ivan Hernandez), and dealing with somebody who she has an extreme attraction to but realizes that she has a blind spot. The writers don\u2019t really give Elsbeth a blind spot much. That made Elsbeth more vulnerable. I always like to find the vulnerability in the character.<\/p>\n

\nIs there anywhere you hope the show goes in season four, along those lines?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tIt would be fun to see family. Maybe meet a parent, a mother or something. Peel back that layer. We\u2019ve seen her as a mother. We\u2019ve seen her as a girlfriend and in an intimate relationship. We\u2019ve seen her as a best friend. Let\u2019s see her as a daughter. I think that would be really fun. And then of course, I\u2019m sure we would have a really fun time casting that.<\/p>\n

\nThe possibilities feel endless there.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tWell, I once did a play many, many years ago, and Mia Farrow played my mother. That worked out pretty well, and I feel like you could see Mia Farrow as Elsbeth\u2019s mother. I could also see Bette Midler. But we\u2019ll see. We\u2019re just happy to have season four.<\/p>\n

\nI\u2019m curious: What was your first regular TV role on a network show?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI did my fair share of network pilots, some of which would have a short season. It was a show called Emeril<\/em> starring Emeril Lagasse. It was a long time ago. I think we shot 13 episodes and they only aired maybe 11. They cast the chef, Emeril, as the lead of a sitcom. He\u2019s not an actor. It was 2001. It found a niche audience. But they surrounded him with actors: Lisa Ann Walter, Sherri Shepherd, me, Robert Ulrich. They got Emeril a little acting coach, and we would all help him with things and we would tell him how to deliver a line and whatever. Then he would make us food.<\/p>\n

\nSo here on <\/strong>Elsbeth<\/em><\/strong>, then, you\u2019re finally in the lead. How did you find the pace of leading it? How have you settled into it over the years?<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIt was really overwhelming at times just because of the sheer hours, and also the pressure that I was trying to not feel too much and just concentrate on the work. But nonetheless, the pressure is there for the show to find an audience and be successful. Even though we did only 10 episodes in season one, it meant I was doing a lot of double duty. I was doing a lot of press to promote it because people were like, \u201cWhat?\u201d Either you watched The Good Wife <\/em>and you knew who that character was, or you didn\u2019t. A lot of our audience came to us having not ever seen those shows, which I thought was great. They still liked it and wanted to watch it. But it just meant I was trying to play the role in the best way I knew how.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s also just, the culture of being a lead is being a hostess all day long, because I at least want to lead the show in a collaborative, ensemble kind of way. That includes making the crew feel welcome, making every person who comes to our cast \u2014 even if they have one line \u2014 feel welcome by taking care of them. That takes a lot of energy on top of playing Elsbeth. But Elsbeth is a very energetic, caring person, so luckily both of those things coexist. But the hours were long. We were also figuring out how to shoot it in eight days on season one, and we really couldn\u2019t because the scripts were a little bigger. And they would shoot the murder [cold open] while I was finishing up on the previous episode. So season one pretty much wrecked me physically.<\/p>\n

\nBut it worked.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tWe saw that people were liking it and when they picked us up for a second season, it was one of the most exhilarating moments in my life, being able to tell the crew. I did it on camera during a take. They took Wendell [Pierce] and myself and Carra [Patterson] into a separate room, and they said, \u201cWe\u2019re going to get a pickup. They\u2019re going to announce it in half an hour.\u201d I was like, \u201cWe have to tell the crew.\u201d Wendell was like, \u201cLet\u2019s do it on camera.\u201d So we figured out a place in the scene where I could tell the crew. They were all watching and the director didn\u2019t know, nobody knew. It was a serious scene between me and Wendell, and I got up and went around to his side of the desk and everybody was like, \u201cWhat the heck is going on? Not how we rehearsed it.\u201d I was like, \u201cNo, you don\u2019t have to find a new job because you have one and you have one and you have one! Because we just got picked up for season two!\u201d It was literally the greatest privilege of my life.<\/p>\n

\nI interviewed Donna Lynne Champlin earlier this year, and she guest-starred on <\/strong>Elsbeth <\/em><\/strong>last season. She told me the biggest lesson she\u2019d learned as a frequent guest star is to take her cues from no. 1 on the call sheet. I\u2019m sure you took that wisdom to heart, as someone who spent most of her career in guest and supporting parts.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI\u2019ve seen and learned from what works and what doesn\u2019t. I do make it my mission to really make sure that no one ever feels unwelcome. It\u2019s just extraordinary how many times I\u2019ve walked on the set and no one has said a word to me.<\/p>\n

\nWow. Really?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s just so weird. Everybody\u2019s in their own world. I get it, it\u2019s tough, but it\u2019s not hard to do that.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tI mean, I learn a lot every day. The crew will tell you I\u2019m a little hard on myself sometimes. I have set a really high bar for myself and when I feel like I haven\u2019t achieved that, I can get upset with myself. I want it to be fantastic. Then it\u2019s hour 12 and I\u2019m doing a five-page monologue and my brain breaks. It\u2019s okay. It happens to literally everyone. I can be okay with that and just sit in that and go, \u201cSorry, everybody, give me a second and let me go back and start it again.\u201d But I come from theater, so it\u2019s just ingrained in me not to do that. I\u2019ve learned how to pace myself. I have a real method now that works where I can do it, but then I give myself a tiny bit of time off only on a Saturday where I\u2019ve got to rest the brain because before I was just, every day all the time. You can\u2019t sustain that in any job.<\/p>\n

\n\tI\u2019m not a kid anymore. Sometimes I\u2019ll come up with what I like to call \u201cElsbeth <\/em>bits,\u201d and then I\u2019ll go, \u201cOh shit, I have to do this now 500 times on all the different angles and I will have to amend it. I can hurt myself.\u201d I have to be careful.<\/p>\n

\nDescribe an <\/strong>Elsbeth <\/em><\/strong>bit for me.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tAn Elsbeth<\/em> bit is: Why walk into a room where you could slide? Or if I walk into a room \u2014 and the production and set designers now know this \u2014 I will find something that I\u2019ll need to then put into the shot and do a scene. Not paying much attention to what I\u2019m doing with this [grabs table centerpiece], but just knowing that some part of me is really enjoying playing with this. Her DNA is about being able to think one thing, say one thing, and do another thing with your body.<\/p>\n

\nDo you feel content just focusing on this role right now, especially given how demanding it is? Or are you looking to see what else you could do in between?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tThis is plan A, so I kind of want to make sure that I am enjoying that, doing it as well as I can and taking care of myself in the process. I\u2019m not really pursuing other things. I\u2019m not saying I wouldn\u2019t do it if something wonderful came along during the hiatus that would be potentially great. But it just hasn\u2019t happened so far. I want to make sure that I\u2019m playing Elsbeth Tascioni in the best way, where I can give it my all and not get too overwhelmed or overrun or whatever. I was offered a play. I haven\u2019t done a play in a really long time, and that\u2019s my first love. But I would\u2019ve started rehearsals when I wrapped and then I would\u2019ve finished performances when I went back. And I just thought, \u201cThat\u2019s a lot.\u201d Also, I feel like my husband [actor Michael Emerson] would maybe be ready to move on to someone else. (Laughs<\/em>) He\u2019s been very patient.<\/p>\n

\nHe\u2019s had his fair share too of these periods too, though, right?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tYeah. But I thank God for him because he\u2019s really running our lives. I\u2019m gone all the time. He\u2019s so supportive and he\u2019s so happy for me.<\/p>\n

\nI want to ask you about the show\u2019s reclassification at the Emmys as a comedy. I first interviewed you for this show years ago, before the series premiere, and back then you described it as a comedy. So I imagine you\u2019re like, \u201cThis makes sense.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tOh yes. I was very happy and grateful that CBS and the producers and everybody petitioned for it, and that all the awards shows agreed. At the very beginning, when I heard that we were in the drama category, I was like, \u201cOh, okay. Well, if y\u2019all want any awards, they\u2019re not going to happen. Mark my words.\u201d I just said it and they were like, \u201cOh, no, no. We think, because you won the Emmy before and it was in a drama\u2026\u201d I was like, \u201cBut I\u2019m a comedic character.\u201d I don\u2019t like to be right about something like that. But once we got going, I think everybody realized, \u201cThere\u2019s no way we can be in the same category as The Handmaid\u2019s Tale<\/em>. Not that we\u2019re in it to win an award \u2014 I do feel grateful and the show\u2019s had success, and I also already did get that award for playing her. But it was very affirming when the Critics Choice Awards, the first awards show after we got into the comedy category, nominated us. It was validating.<\/p>\n

\nWithout naming names, you are funnier than many shows that have been competing in the comedy categories, some of which are also great shows.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tOh, yes. I know what you\u2019re saying. The Academy can be partial to the streamers, but I\u2019m just glad that we\u2019re officially holding down the hour-long comedy category on CBS. There\u2019s precedent for it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nWhen we first spoke, you called getting this part a dream come true. How does that land with you, three years later?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tEvery day I walk on set, I remind myself that this is a miracle. I don\u2019t want to ever get too used to it. If I\u2019m exhausted or whatever, I\u2019ll say, \u201cThis is a miracle.\u201d That gets me out of it. If I\u2019m like, \u201cOh my God, I\u2019m not going to be able to memorize all this.\u201d I go: \u201cThis is a miracle.\u201d It\u2019s this wonderful mantra to keep going back to because it is<\/em> a miracle. It is miraculous. When a show gets made well, gets promoted well, gets to the audience and they receive it \u2014 so many things have to fall in place for that. So that\u2019s the way I think about it: as a miracle.<\/p>\n
