The A.V. Club: What drew you to Godmothered? Jane Curtin: Well, first of all, I’m going to tell you the truth, which is that the costume designer for this series that I was doing said, “There is a movie that Disney is doing. I’m doing the costumes. All I can think of is you.” I said, “Oh, okay,” and she said, “It’s really cute. All I can think of i...
AVC: One thing I noticed when I was watching the movie was that, in your classroom, one of the fairy godmothers you’re supposed to be educating is played by Sonia Manzano, who played Maria for many years on Sesame Street, and I know you’ve been on that show a number of times as well. Was that just a coincidence? JC: Yes. And I do Selected Shorts wi...
AVC: Speaking of Kate & Allie:That was a show about single mothers that premiered over 30 years ago. Did it feel groundbreaking at the time? What was your relationship like with fans of the show? JC: I was told it was groundbreaking at the time, but I lived in New York. It was not groundbreaking in New York, but it was in other parts of the country...
AVC: I was watching your appearance on Watch What Happens Live and an interview you did with Seth Meyers, and you were telling some pretty interesting stories about what it was like to be at SNL from the beginning. I think you guys were paid something like $750 a week, which is almost criminal. I think that we as viewers look at that show as a lega...
AVC: Speaking of SNL, one of the characters you did there was Prymaat Conehead, which remarkably you’re still doing occasionally all these years later. They even made a movie about the Coneheads years after those characters disappeared from the show. When you first started doing that character, did you know it would have such staying power? JC: The...
AVC: Michael McKean, the winner of the Million Dollar Celebrity Jeopardy! invitational, which you placed second on. What was the Jeopardy! experience like for you? Were you a fan of the show? JC: Because of improv, when you choose that profession and you’re young, your brain starts to operate differently. I believe it starts to pick up bits and pie...
AVC: Speaking of 3rd Rock, that was a show that bridged the millennium and hit in a really interesting time in culture. You’ve had some time away from that show—almost 20 years—so I’m wondering what you hope people remember about that show. JC: Just that it was very smart and very funny. There is a plaque on the studio at the CBS Radford Center. It...
AVC: You have played a number of on-screen moms in recent years. You played Melissa McCarthy’s mom in The Heat, for instance, and you played Paul Rudd and Andy Samberg’s mom in I Love You, Man. How do you feel about being called in to play the mother to so many beloved comedy figures? JC: There are so many mothers in the world that need to be portr...
AVC: I’m a big fan of Bob & Ray, and I think they’re so underappreciated in this day and age. You did a special with them alongside Gilda Radner and Laraine Newman. Tell me how that came about. JC:It’s interesting. Keith Olbermann owns a lot of their old shows. He’s a big fan. Anyway, they were on television in Boston when I was growing up, so I gr...
AVC: Lastly, I’d be remiss if I didn’t ask you about working with Paul Newman in Our Town at the Westport Country Playhouse in 2002. It was also made into a TV movie that ran in 2003. Tell me about that experience, because who doesn’t love Paul Newman? JC:I have known them for years. When I was first in New York City, I was thinking about getting a...
