McCarthy also recalled advice she received from her husband, Ben Falcone. "Ben had said, 'Don't pull back, because wouldn't have,'" she recalled. "'Get in there and f---ing burn it down, because that's what he would have done.' That's the last thing I thought of, and I just was so nervous to do someone that I literally watched. I have a drawing of him. I adored his humor and how vulnerable he was.
McCarthy went on to compliment Spade's work with Farley. "You two were just… you guys were magic together."character Antonio in therapy: 'He's still with me'game night sketch: 'Tiny-dick syndrome, huh?'
