  • I have to start making my own stuff."

  • -You're getting super big, great buzz on this.

  • Do you want to explain what the show is?

  • -Oh, yeah. So, it's a morning news show,

  • and it's on a big network.

  • And day one, one of the male co-stars

  • is accused of sexual harassment and fired.

  • And so, Jennifer Aniston has to go on air

  • and carry the whole show by herself.

  • And then you'll find out, by episode two,

  • that I somehow get to be on her show...

  • -Oh. -...with her.

  • -And that doesn't really fly with her?

  • -Well, it's just chaos. It's craziness.

  • -Yeah, I want to show a clip.

  • Here's Reese Witherspoon in "The Morning Show."

  • Take a look at this.

  • -I can't wait to hear how I'm gonna alienate Americans.

  • I've only been contending with the misogynistic world

  • of journalism for 15 years.

  • I've only been told about a thousand different ways

  • I'm too liberal, too conservative, too in between.

  • "You have too much chin." "You're not smiling enough."

  • "You're too brunette." "Do you want to go blonde?"

  • "Where are your boobs?" "Put your boobs out."

  • "Wait, put your boobs away!"

  • "You're attracting men." "You're scaring women!"

  • "You know, try not to be so confrontational.

  • Men, don't want to [bleep] you."

  • "Don't be so angry. Women feel criticized."

  • But here -- no, no. Here I'm gonna transform

  • into the aspirational, inoffensive dream girl.

  • Here I'm gonna become the Mother Teresa

  • of the morning news.

  • And I'm pretty sure that Mother Teresa

  • had too many [bleep] wrinkles for HD.

  • [ Cheers and applause ]

  • -That is how you do it!

  • That is how you do it. Learn from the best.

  • Reese Witherspoon, everybody!
