    Development

    The Nanny began in 1991 with a chance meeting on a transatlantic flight between Drescher and Jeff Sagansky, at the time president of CBS Corporation, for whom she had starred in the short-lived TV series Princesses. Drescher persuaded Sagansky to let her and her then-husband Jacobson pitch an idea for a sitcom to CBS. Sagansky agreed to a future meeting once all of the parties were back in Los Angeles; however, neither Drescher nor Jacobson had any idea what to pitch. Later, while in London,...

    Crew

    Most of the early episodes of The Nannywere shot in front of a live studio audience on Stage 6 at the Culver Studios.

On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, they rehearsed before the series' producers and executives. And, on Thursdays and Fridays, the series was shot using a multi-camera set up in...

The audio track of the laughter's would then be added to the episodes in post-production. Casting director Lisette St. Claire became the world’s first "laughter wrangler" for new type of service, w...

    The show performed poorly in its first year. When it was nearly canceled, Sagansky stepped in as its champion. According to Jacobson: "At all those affiliate meetings, he used to say, 'Stick by The Nanny!' He knew it was something special." The sitcom was the first new show delivered to Syndication for the 1993 season and the highest-tested pilot a...
