The Nanny

a lot of shows' faults.

Like it's mentioned in The Nanny.

It's mentioned in so many other shows.

Like other pop culture things seem to also remember he said it.

Yeah.

I mean, I'm just – whenever I think of midlife crisis, I think of The Nanny.

And, like, they had an episode where Mr. Sheffield has a midlife crisis.

And it's that typical thing of, like,

Oh, look at him running off with a little model.

You know, that's why it's so

funny in the nanny episode.

Like, it's just because it is funny.

That's a good point.

But anyway, Homer Simpson, the most working class, followed by Fran Drescher's character on The Nanny.

A bit

of a context clue that they gave people.

Who is Nanny Fran? I've never heard of this person.

Can we please stop talking about the dumb guy? You better watch The Nanny.

Come on.

The Nanny? Yeah, with Fran Drescher.

Oh,

okay.

And before Gilmore Girls, she had about 25 credits under her belt.

You know, she like started in the late 80s and then she was she was in movies like The Fugitive and she did like one episode stints on shows like Married with Children, Empty Nest, Third Rock from the Sun.

Lauren Graham also did that as well.

Third Rock from the Sun.

That's how people feel about my last name.

Sometimes they look at my last name and they're like, oh it looks so complicated i'm like it's really not there's so many l's what am i

supposed to do how do i handle all these l's yeah but she's in that episode she's in teach me tonight and a film by kirk but then she's also one of the troubadours in partings and so i like that she almost is like a star within the show of like in a film by kirk and then shows back up as a troubadour i quite like that and then um i'm actually quite surprised that you passed over this one because help wanted we meet carol king who plays oh duh

of course carol king how could i talk

true.

I saw that on The Nanny when Fran Drescher's having this big, like, dramatic meltdown and you just see the boom mic hit the top of her wig.

It's so fucking funny.

I can't even take that show seriously anymore now because I'm like, oh, you've taken me out.

Elsewhere.

She played Maria Portokalos in, uh, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, and she also played Aunt Frida on The Nanny.

Her movie about actors and acting, a great movie, My Favorite Year.

A young television writer is tasked with supervising a washed up chaotic movie star during a week of live TV performances.

Yes.

Fran Drescher, this would've been before The Nanny-

Mm-hmm

... and before The Voice.

That's why those, you know, big actresses do really well on a multicam.

Like The Nanny.

Have you watched The Nanny?

No, but Fran was, I mean, that was like.

Well,

Unbelievable.

And then the mother and the grandmother get involved and you're like, I don't know.

You watch her on that first episode, the nanny, and she walks in the door and you're like, She's got style, she's got grace, she's got flair.
