Joe Mantegnahas added a new word to his lexicon: DILF.
I dont even know what a DILF is, Mantegna quipped in the segment.
It was all new to me, Mantegna shares.

I dont go on the internet.
But yeah, when they hit me with DILF, I started to think of Disney characters or something.
I’m not so naive.

Later on when somebody said, You know what a MILF Is?
And I thought, ‘Ohhh, okay.’
I’ll take that as a compliment, I suppose.
An earnest Mantegna adds, Look, without the fans, we are nothing.
We’re just acting in a vacuum.
So God bless them, and I hope we’re bringing them hours and hours of entertainment and amusement.
It’s a testament to the good writing, Mantegna says of building that dynamic with Gilford.
As I get each weeks script, I would find out just like everybody else.
So I find that very exciting and it makes my job fun.
No surprise here, but the series was recently renewed for another season.
Mantegna insists he has zero intel about it.
I really dont, he says.
Its in the hands of the writers and Erica Messer, our showrunner.
I have every faith in them keeping the quality as it has been.
