Despite the unusual request, Moss maintained a light-hearted attitude about the situation. She joked with host Jimmy Kimmel about the possibility of the underwear being kept in storage, stating that she preferred not to know who had made the request as she still had to work with them. Kimmel expressed disbelief at the formal nature of the request, prompting Moss to play along by suggesting a dramatic reveal of the person behind it.
During the interview, Moss also reflected on the approaching end of “The Handmaid’s Tale,” noting that the sixth season will be the show’s final chapter. As both a star and executive producer of the series, Moss explained that she was at peace with the decision to conclude the story, emphasizing the importance of leaving on a high note.
