Marilu Henner

... she was smoking hot.

She wasn't as good as Marilu Henner on Taxi, though.

Well, that's if you, if you got, you like the redheads.

[laughs]

But I kept saying, "How can we have a..." And I said, "How, but we, how can we have a show about New York cab drivers and they're all white?" And they said, "We're gonna add a..." They had said they were gonna use Nell Carter, but she became unavailable because of...

So that's the part that Marilu Henner actually got, that role.

That w- that character went through 47 different iterations-

[laughs]

Travolta's, uh, uh, [coughs] girlfriend at the time, uh, honestly like one of my all time.

Like, if you did, if you did Kirkman Man's childhood top 10 crushes as a kid, between Taxi and Johnny Dangerously and this, honestly, Marilu Henner is definitely in the top 10.

Like, like, like Elaine on Taxi is, like, probably the first character I ever had a crush on, I think.

Um, Marilu Henner, I'm sure you know, is also...

So, so Travolta dated her for a couple of years and then stopped.

[coughs] Travolta, um, Marilu Henner, I'm sure you know, is like one of like, I'm making up a number, 12 people in the world who have that...

It was, she was profiled on 60 Minutes.

This is true.

Yeah.

Marilu Henner was the-

Oh, Marilu Henner

... was the one for the dads-

Yeah

... as they say.

Yeah.

[laughs] Uh, Brian McGannon loves Marilu Henner.

[laughs] He's got some really good ideas.

[laughs] What about, um, Marilu Henner as the, as the new head nurse?

How old...

She's good.

[laughs]

Well, always good.

You know what? Marilu Henner is 74.

70, so, yeah, so back then, though, she was in her, she was in her late 20s, right? Yeah, so you would be in, yeah, she could've been.

There's that actress.

Do you know Marilu Henner? Do you know who she is?

No. Who's that?

She was on that show Taxi.

Wow.

And it's super unusual, where she can recall not just a, the day, but, but like she can tell you if you give her a date what day it was and what happened that day and like, you know, what was in the news and what was on television.

Like Marilu Henner.

That's insane.
