I spoke to Henry last week, we exchanged some text messages. He is a great friend. I sent him a message telling him how much he would be missed by everyone on the show, me more than most, because Henry and I are very good friends and have spent the last four years creating those stories.

At the same time, I walked over to Liam and greeted him. It’s amazing how brave she is to join the show halfway. I hope everyone realizes the commitment you are already showing. He takes it very seriously. Henry will be sorely missed, but Liam will bring us something new and fresh.
