Have I really not done a straight-up comedy in a while?'”

Keegan-Michael Key, Johnny Knoxville, Callum Worthy, and Judy Greer in ‘Reboot’.Michael Desmond/Hulu
This was a funny role.’
So that was really interesting to me.
And she is pretty, she’s really girly and fancy.
I never play those roles.
I feel like I’m always tired and crying.”
“I said this halfway through shooting, I think on episode three or four.
I just figured out that Bree is so f—ing lonely,” Greer says.
“I think that’s the truth.
I think she’s really lonely.”

But Reed is moving on with his own life, and Bree is left feeling lonelier than ever.
“You just have to keep your antenna up.
One of the things I noticed is that Judy and Johnny had a wonderful chemistry in real life.
It’s just fun to watch.

I’m like, ‘What’s going to happen?'”
