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

Suzanne Whang · 2:49 AM

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

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 2:49 AM

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

Suzanne Whang · 2:50 AM

Wow. SMOOCH!

Suzanne Whang · 2:50 AM

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 · 2:50 AM

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 · 2:50 AM

Sounds phenomenal. And do you improvise on the show?

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 2:51 AM

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 · 2:51 AM

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 · 2:51 AM

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!

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 2:51 AM

It irritates me when people try to reduce women in this business down to clichés, or try to minimize our experiences.

Suzanne Whang · 2:51 AM

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

Suzanne Whang · 2:52 AM

I love that you call yourself a Sultry Sarcastinista. Did you coin that word?

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 2:52 AM

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

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 2:52 AM

But yes, I'm very sarcastic.

Suzanne Whang · 2:52 AM

Most people who are as funny as you are have been through some major tragedy. Have you?

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 2:53 AM

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

Suzanne Whang · 2:53 AM

Bwahahahaha!

★ Spotlighted from Kelly Carlin

“Wendi - since you are known for your sarcasm - how frustrated are you by all the online communication these days that makes sarcasm almost invisible? ”

Wendi McLendon-Covey · 3:08 AM

@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.
