“La La La La...I am here....”

Suzanne Whang · 11:00 PM

AHHHHHH! I'm so excited! Wendi, are you with us?

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 11:00 PM

Yes! I'm here...is this working?

Suzanne Whang · 11:00 PM

YES!!!

Suzanne Whang · 11:01 PM

You are without question my favorite human being on planet Earth who I've never met.

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 11:01 PM

Remember how you declared me an honorary Korean?

Suzanne Whang · 11:01 PM

I did??

Suzanne Whang · 11:01 PM

Let's tell everybody how we first "met"

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 11:01 PM

You did! And you are also MY favorite soul sister that I've never met in person

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 11:01 PM

Yes - start the story and I'll chime in because I'm rude.

Suzanne Whang · 11:02 PM

Okay, so a while back I posted an open apology to tit cancer that includes a bare-breasted photo of me. It spread across Facebook.

Suzanne Whang · 11:02 PM

Your turn.

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 11:03 PM

Awesome photo. I loved it and I posted it and some whiny bitch turned me in to the facebook authorities and had it taken down! So I started ranting.

Suzanne Whang · 11:03 PM

Yes. Facebook removed the post for being "pornographic," and you wrote this GENIUS rant against Facebook's policy.

Suzanne Whang · 11:03 PM

And one of my friends cut & pasted your rant and put it on my wall.

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 11:04 PM

Anyway, someone passed it on to you and we've been friends ever since! But we've never met!

Suzanne Whang · 11:04 PM

Exactly!!!

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 11:04 PM

But we are SUPPORTING EACH OTHER! And that's a perfect segue to our topic today!

Suzanne Whang · 11:05 PM

YESSS!!!!Now I am SO excited about The Goldbergs -- Congratulations! You're EVERYWHERE! And the show is wonderful.

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 11:05 PM

Thank you! And congrats to you on DEXTER, ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, and your UPCOMING NUPTUALS!

Suzanne Whang · 11:06 PM

Wow. SMOOCH!

Suzanne Whang · 11:06 PM

You're so gorgeous and funny on The Goldbergs. And the show has a HEART. What's it been like working with Jeff Garlin?

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 11:07 PM

You're too kind. Jeff is insane. I love him so much, and he is insane. He HAS to make up songs constantly. He HAS to make me forget my lines because I'm laughing so hard. He can't help himself.

Suzanne Whang · 11:08 PM

Sounds phenomenal. And do you improvise on the show?

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 11:08 PM

He's the sweetest. Everyday he says something like, "I'm so lucky to be working with you!" And he says it to all of us.

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 11:09 PM

We improvise sometimes, but the writing is so good we don't really need to. We have writers from Everybody Loves Raymond, King of Queens, we even have the fabulous Darlene Hunt, creator of THE BIG C!

Suzanne Whang · 11:09 PM

By the way, the best shows on television have made us both laugh and cry. All in the Family, Taxi, M*A*S*H, Roseanne... and now The Goldbergs.

Suzanne Whang · 11:12 PM

btw, Vanessa's last name is Marcil. She's just a big fan of the show Dexter. Do you have a lot of funny women in your life? And what has your experience been with other funny women in the entertainment industry?

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 11:14 PM

I have LOTS of funny women in my life, and my experience in this business has mostly been good! Yes, you have the occasional person whose horrible, but they'd be horrible in any business! It irritates me when people try to reduce women in this

Suzanne Whang · 11:16 PM

Yes, I was at the Groundlings for a long time. I never did stand up, because the idea of it terrifies me.

Suzanne Whang · 11:18 PM

You seem so brave and ballsy -- is there a stand-up set somewhere in your future?

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 11:18 PM

People love to tell bad stories more than they like to tell good stories, so if youre a person who likes to slam other people, BELIEVE ME - people will pass the word around!

“answered and agreed.......Why are americas idea of physically beautiful people almost never hilarious and who did you sell your soul to in order to pull off having both?”

Suzanne Whang · 11:19 PM

I love to tell good stories. Vanessa Marcil was one of the stars of NBC's "Las Vegas" and I had a tiny co-star part in one episode. My scene was with her. She thought I was funny and after we were done with the scene, encouraged the director to

Suzanne Whang · 11:20 PM

give me a "free take" and improvise. I did, and the crew flipped. She convinced the writers to make me a recurring guest star, and I did the show for 4 seasons.

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 11:21 PM

@Vanessa Dexter - I think audiences don't know what they want until you SHOW them. And I still wish I could have a play date with Gaborey Sidibe.

Suzanne Whang · 11:22 PM

I agree with V. You're ridiculously beautiful. And sultry. I love that you call yourself a Sultry Sarcastinista. Did you coin that word?

Kelly, I forwarded that letter to Wendi! We both loved it!

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 11:24 PM

You're ridiculously sweet and I'm sending you a pony. I did coin the term Sultry Sarcastaninst. I love the word sultry. I just like saying it! And I'm surprised how many people can't pronounce the word "sarcastinista!" But yes, I'm very sarcastic.

Suzanne Whang · 11:24 PM

Yes, Vanessa is a right-on sister! She's also a fellow Libra goddess. My birthday was Sept 28th, yours is Oct 10th, and hers is Oct 15th. Happy early birthday!!!

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 11:25 PM

That letter is genius. People tend to balme Miley for her weird choices, but how many people signed off on that ridiculous VMA performance? LOTS of people. Someone designed those costumes. Someone choreographed it. Auditions for twerkers were

Suzanne Whang · 11:26 PM

Greg! Is that why you fell in love with her?

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 11:26 PM

Greg Covey is my husband, everyone.

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 11:30 PM

We shared a mutual love of STEELY DAN!

Suzanne Whang · 11:30 PM

I noticed that your profile pic is a giraffe, and Wendi's twitter profile pic is Michael Jackson holding a monkey with her face photoshopped into its head. What's the story behind that?

Suzanne Whang · 11:30 PM

OH MY GOD, STEELY DAN! MY FAVORITE BAND OF ALL TIME.

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 11:31 PM

Suzanne, me being Michael Jackson's monkey Bubbles is on my list of "Things I Wish Would Have Actually Happened to Me."

Suzanne Whang · 11:31 PM

I think that's my new favorite thing about you.

Suzanne Whang · 11:32 PM

What would the two of you do together as friends?

Suzanne Whang · 11:33 PM

Did you dress up as one of the Five? Sing and dance in your bedroom with a hairbrush microphone?

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 11:33 PM

Oh you know... go rollerskating, stuff like that. Now you think I'm weird, and I don't care.

Suzanne Whang · 11:34 PM

When kids used to call me "weird" in elementary school, I would respond "Thank you!" They didn't like that.

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 11:35 PM

I sand with a hairbrush, but only as Olivia Newton John in her TOTALLY HOT days.

Suzanne Whang · 11:35 PM

In the 80s, did you go skating at roller rinks? Who were your favorite bands? Who did you have a crush on? Any posters on the wall of movie stars or rockers?

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 11:36 PM

I skated constantly as a kid. There wer days when I only took my skates off to come in and eat dinner and lunch. my walls were papered with posters of Adam Ant, Scott Baio, John Stamos, Duran Duran, I was obsessed!

Suzanne Whang · 11:37 PM

I loved roller skating so much! Are there any roller rinks in LA? What songs did your rink play over and over again? And does "Grease" count as Olivia Newton John in her totally hot days?

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 11:37 PM

Leif Garrett? I got fired from a movie once and flew back home sbbing next to him on a plane.

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 11:38 PM

I have my own roller skates now! We filmed a skating rink scene for the GOldbergs and I had so much fun that I bought a pair that night and have been skating ever since!

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 11:39 PM

There's probably security cam footage of me falling down and skinning my knee in the parking lot of Bristol Farms near my house!

Suzanne Whang · 11:39 PM

Wendi, have Kelly tell you her Leif story sometime.

Suzanne Whang · 11:39 PM

So you skate in parking lots, not rinks?

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 11:40 PM

No - Olivia had an album in the late 70s called TOTALLY HOT. But I wasn't a huge fan of GREASE. "Tell me more tell me more..." WE GET IT! Enough already!

Suzanne Whang · 11:41 PM

Were there any hits on TOTALLY HOT that I would know?

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 11:41 PM

I skate around my neighborhood at night.

Suzanne Whang · 11:41 PM

Do you sing Olivia songs from TOTALLY HOT while you skate?

Suzanne Whang · 11:42 PM

Or do you listen to Steely Dan on your iPod?

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 11:42 PM

Well now I sing other things. The whole neighborhood loves it!

Suzanne Whang · 11:42 PM

Does Greg join you?

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 11:43 PM

Greg is 6'7", so no...I think that's a little dangerous.

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 11:43 PM

Too far to fall.

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 11:48 PM

Um...well...there was one time when I didn't make JV Cheer. I still have nightmares about it...

Suzanne Whang · 11:49 PM

Bwahahahaha! When did you first realize that you were funny? I think I developed my sense of humor in retaliation for being mercilessly teased for being Asian. I couldn't win a physical fight, but I could say something sarcastic and get a laugh.

That's why I did it too, only I was picked on because I was just easy to pick on.

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 11:52 PM

@Kelly - it is frustrating, because I feel like I have to explain myself a lot to people online who just don't get it. And then once you explain the joke, it's not funny. I guess I'm astounded by people who don't understand sarcasm;

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 11:52 PM

I just wonder how they get through their days when they never fully understand things.

Suzanne Whang · 11:52 PM

Hmm...I still don't feel that I've made it. In fact, I had a part time job up until a year ago. I don't think a long those lines. I just think about how I'm luck to get to do this, and then I try to plot my next few moves.

Suzanne Whang · 11:55 PM

I mean, I see the billboards everywhere with your beaming face and I get goosebumps, but everyone's definition of success is different.

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 11:56 PM

But I've had some nice milestones. Going to the Oscars was fun. I hope I get to go back someday!

Suzanne Whang · 11:56 PM

Oh, you WILL, my dear. Can you tell us about the SEVEN movies you have coming out soon?

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 11:57 PM

I've got a little indie Christmas film coming out in November called ALLAMERICAN CHRISTMAS CAROL wilth Taryn Manning and Beverly D'Angelo

Suzanne Whang · 11:57 PM

Okay, that's 1....

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 11:58 PM

Then I've got 2 more indie films opening soon called 10 RULES FOR SLEEPING AROUND and PRETTY IN GREEN...not sure when those will be released but stay tuned...

Suzanne Whang · 12:03 AM

Never met Rashida. I'm so inspired by you and so happy about all of your career success!!! Do you do any writing?

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 12:05 AM

I write...and I'm good at it, but I never finish anything.

Suzanne Whang · 12:06 AM

PLEASE FINISH SOMETHING! I want to read it! I know you're a voracious reader. What are you reading right now?

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 12:08 AM

I'm reading ALL THAT IS BITTER AND SWEET by Ashely Judd. It's tough one...she's quite the activist and the stories about the little girls she's met who are sex slaves are beyond heartbreaking.

Suzanne Whang · 12:08 AM

Wow. Wow. Wow, I just realized that it's after 5 pm! Time flies when you're with a goddess. I love you madly, and thanks a gazillion for doing this Tawk!!!

Rachael WorkmanOct 3, 2013, 11:22 PM

@Kelly - Miley has since responded by calling Sinead insane, basically. Likening her to Amanda Bynes.

Kelly CarlinOct 3, 2013, 11:22 PM

Rachael - hey! And you've GOT TO BE KIDDING. OY.

Blake IanOct 3, 2013, 11:22 PM

She did such a good job of being clear and direct and supportive where she could, it was clearly heartfelt like everything Sinead ever did

Blake IanOct 3, 2013, 11:23 PM

@Rachael - seriously? That's so sad.

Kelly CarlinOct 3, 2013, 11:23 PM
