Episode 5: Tanya with Jennifer Coolidge
Because I don't think that Tanya and Jennifer is someone that, like, can or should be matched. Like, I mean, it obviously wasn't the dynamic where, like, there's two big crazy characters, you know? So, like, I never felt, like, a pressure to match that or even fully go along with it because Portia... is just like really trying to get through it.

Episode 5: Tanya with Jennifer Coolidge
So I think I just, like as Portia, I guess just watched and tried to process that this was like a normal thing that was all gonna be okay. But me as Haley, there was so many times where she would really go off and it was like over my shoulder and I really just had to not laugh. Like that was really my only goal. And just stay kind of as present as I could in case she asked me something.

Episode 5: Tanya with Jennifer Coolidge
But that rarely happened. Like most of the time she truly just went off in her own world. And I just got to watch her do whatever she wanted, which was really cool. The one moment I'll never forget, and I was really shocked that it wasn't in the show, was we were at breakfast and she was like, do you think Greg is cheating on me? And then she like was supposed to say like one other sentence.

Episode 5: Tanya with Jennifer Coolidge
She just went off on this giant, like hysteric tangent, like screaming at everyone at the breakfast balcony. Do you? Do you? And I was just sitting there like that was the morning I peed my pants a little bit. And then the whole rest of the show, me and Mike would just be like, do you? Do you? To each other.
