Young Hollywood

What's up, guys? Young Hollywood has crashed the set of Splitting Up Together. Before I got here, I binge-watched this show to prepare, okay? And adorable. You fell in love with it, right?

Jenna

I fell in love because it's the cutest thing. I mean, this is such a cool role for me because I do get to play so many things. Like, I get to be the funny person but I also get to be the straight man, but then I also have to dig deep and be emotional sometimes. So it's like an actor's dream. I just got a text alert saying that your sister had her baby. seeing my sister's baby. Oh my god, it's like you have that baby fever situation going on. So that's what's happening to me currently.

Young Hollywood

Lindsay and Bobby, I had to interview you two together because the chemistry on camera between the two of you is ridiculous. It's hot. So hot. It's unbelievable. On this set, you are working with comedic geniuses. What are you guys learning from your fellow cast members?

Lindsay

There's just a wealth of knowledge here. I love just learning like the way they present themselves in scenes and the way they get ready is so interesting to watch. You always see them like doing something different cuz they didn't like what they did before. They'll figure out something they like and they'll do that every time.

Young Hollywood

We're into our kitchen and currently we are doing some remodeling on our house. Is this set designing or is this actually the characters

Jenna

This is set. We're We're shooting the eighth episode right now and there's some house work. Lena might have a side gig happening right now.

Young Hollywood

Are there any shows that you binge-watched that you love or that you're in the middle of right now?

Lindsay

Well, the last show that we binge-watched was Succession, which I'm obsessed with.

Jenna

Jenna keeps trying to get me to watch Succession. Uh, I haven't made it past episode two yet.

Bobby

Better Call Saul. Oh, I've been touched by.

Lindsay

I just started The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and I think it's amazing. The little ladies with the little hats.

Jenna

What was it called? The Handmaid's Tale. I did that. And I did that for two seasons.

Young Hollywood

Okay, so here we are. This is our kitchen. These plates are currently covered because we're shooting a scene and the kids actually have to eat and they don't want flies to lay eggs or take a dump on their food. That's lovely.

Jenna

Yep, this is a camera. This is what we shoot with. This thing's probably $150,000. Single camera. This is a real home. We shot the pilot in the real home and then they built it on stage here. And so sometimes we have to go back and shoot in the real home. And it is identical. It's exactly the same. So it's kind of trippy.

Young Hollywood

Do you remember the first lot experience you ever had and it could be going back with your mom, Goldie, or could could be family members? You tell me.

Jenna

I mean, literally, I was on a lot before I can even remember. I believe it was the Paramount lot. And what was significant about it was that they had filled this giant basin full of water and they had a boat on it in the middle of not the sea. You know, they were filming a big water thing.

Bobby

I worked on the Universal lot and the uh, tour, you know, the tours were going through and they said, and here's a show that we don't know what it is and if it's going to be successful. And and that was it. But she was also on 90210. She's also on Lipstick Jungle. She's also on a lot of films and television. She's a veteran.

Lindsay

My first lot experience was um the beautiful and luxurious Hollywood Center Studios where you can act on a studio and then you also can get They had a little like stand at my parking spot with my name. Oh, that was the most exciting thing ever.

Young Hollywood

Is there something that you've done in your life? You did it for the first time. Awesome. You will never ever do again.

Jenna

Skydiving. And not because I was scared. It was incredible. It was exhilarating and amazing. But I did it and I don't need to do it again.

Lindsay

A long time ago someone gave me a gift of a shark expedition where you go out on the ocean in a boat and then you look at sharks. But I get very seasick and they didn't know but I went on the expedition and I spent the entire time under the table in the galley kitchen on Dramamine just yeah, right. throwing up. But something that was funny that happened was that I ran out of the kitchen and I threw up over the side and then all the sharks came. Everyone was like, The sharks are eating her vomit.

Bobby

running. I hate it.

Lindsay

I went blonde and that was awful.

Jenna

Kids' toys and an apple box which we use because Jenna is short and I'm tall, so she has to stand on these every time she's in a scene with me.

Young Hollywood

Thank you for the tour.

Jenna

Yeah, anytime. I'm sure it was a blast. I'm sure you guys are riveted.
