Two years ago I found out I was going to shoot a pilot for Comedy Central. I was so excited. My first phone call was to my sister Kim. Kim also happened to be with me at a hotel gym in San Francisco when I got the call that they wanted me to shoot a whole series. We got off our respective ellipticals and cried. I wanted her to write for the show immediately. She could not. She is a school psychologist and couldn’t leave with such little notice. Not to mention the fact that she is married and lives in Chicago with her husband Vinny and her three-legged pit bull Abbot. We both agreed that if I got a second season, she would move to New York and live with me and work on the show. Getting a tv show was a dream come true for a gal like me. I grew up watching Shirley Temple, Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett, Gilda Radner, Lily Tomlin, Laverne & Shirley, Kate & Allie, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, Donna Reed, and so on. I would collect all the movies and tv shows from these actresses that I could get my hands on, and watch them till the cassettes broke.
