Well, the great thing about improv is that you are never supposed to deny anything. So if you approach I mean, even sales. If you're in sales or, you know, anything where you have to deal with the public, if you just approach it from a place of, yes, and I can do this for you, or yes, and I cannot do this for you, but I can do this.

I was so sure that that stupid show was going to go. And by the way, this was a scripted show for VH1. That doesn't do scripted shows. No. But on the strength of that hilarious pilot, I bought a boat. This is not a joke. I talked my husband into buying a friggin' boat. And we had to push that thing uphill for the next five years. And we couldn't even sell it.

We had to give it to someone to take it off our hands. You no longer have the boat. Hell no. Oh, don't buy a boat, people. Do not buy a boat. Rent a boat and rent a captain for the day. But you don't need a boat.

Is that true? Yeah. In a weird twist of fate. Yes, I did get it the same day. And I was all pouty. And I'm looking at this script going, God, I think it's funny. I think this is funny. I think I want to do it. But, you know, it was just in the pilot stages. So you think, well, I should just do it because 50-50, you know, it might not go. But it went. But then we went on strike.

So if you watch St. Denis, you might notice that between the first episode and the second episode, we all look a lot different. And that's why. But it's been a blessing. It's been so much fun. And I cannot tell you how much respect I have for health care workers after doing this.

It really is. It really is. Because when you get into health care, don't think that you're ever going to work a 40-hour week. OK? That just doesn't happen. And there are times when it's somebody's worst day in the world, but you just want to go to lunch. Or you really have to pee and you wish someone would just make a decision. They're people, too. And sometimes they're going to have a bad day.

I do get DMs from people who say the way you play the administrator is dead on. Not to, you know, pat my own back there, but the very thought that you have to keep people motivated when you don't even believe what you're saying anymore. And I've had to work for people like that. And so what do you do? You change your physicality.
