You're going to improvise with Larry,
and all you know is, you've heard it all before.
Did you you have had time when you auditioned
to become a part of the show?
I don't know if I ever asked you that.
And what was that process like?
Well, the show is improvise, so there's no script.
So, when I went into audition,
there was no script, and they just said,
"You're going to talk to Larry,
"you're going to improvise with Larry,
"and all you know is you've heard it all before",
and at that moment in time we had kids on the show.
And they said, "That's all you need to know."
And then we started talking and Larry said,
"I think you don't fill up
"the kid's cereal bowl
"with enough milk."
And I said, "Oh, well, I covered the flakes."
(laughing)
And he said, "Well, yeah, but can you just fill it up
"to the top of the bowl?"
I said, "No, there's no to fill it up
"to the top of the bowl, I covered the flakes
"with the milk, and if they want to
"drink milk, they can, but otherwise it's a waste of milk".
That was basically one of the scenarios,
and then the other one was,
he said he wasn't eating chicken anymore.
And I was like, okay.
And then we'd start talking, and he said,
"what are we having for dinner?"
And I said,
"we're having potatoes and green beans
"and chicken cacciatore.
And he said, "I am not eating chicken, anymore".
And I said, "right, you don't have to eat the chicken."
And he said, "why would we be having chicken for dinner,
"if I just told you, I'm not eating chicken."
I said, "well, the rest of us still eat chicken,
"so you don't have to eat it."
And that was it.
And then like three hours later,
I was told that I got the part, which was amazing.
20, 21 Years ago?
20 years ago? Yes.
Decades.
I just can't believe it, time passes so fast.
It really does.
But I'm so happy it's back,
I was talking about a book that I wrote
and I was on The View, and all they were talking about
was this debate because all of these really lovely,
beautiful women, celebrities and models,
were talking about whether or not they thought
Larry David was sexy.
And I'm sure you've been confused for years as his wife,
and maybe now you're even thought of as his ex-wife,
but where would you fall on that debate?
Where would you fall in?
Would you call him a person that is sexy or not,
so much that way?
Well, you know, he's very funny,
and he's smart and he's very clean,
(laughing)
So, that's pretty sexy, you know, all of those qualities.
That's exactly what I said.
That's what I said in The view.
They said,
"no, hat do you mean, define that?"
I said,
"he's funny,
"and he's really smart, and that to me,
"if you can make me laugh and there's some brain candy,
"like some, some brain candy there,
I used to find that sexy.
Me too, me too.
I get it.
I also I love Tig Notaro,
and you get to work with Tig,
you guys have a podcast together,
and I love the concept of this.
Is it true stories.
Right?
Yeah.
It's Tig and Cheryl: True Story.
And it's about documentaries,
but how do you choose them, and you know,
how do you guys source them?
Well, first of all, (laughing)
so taking the Tig Notaro and I, we are
not very serious people.
We don't exactly analyze the documentaries-
Right, right.
You're having fun of course.
Dig into them in any
important way.
A lot of times we ended up talking about,
who we were attracted to,
in the documentary,
or what were they eating in that one scene,
you know, that's disgusting,
or I saw that guy's foot and we didn't need
a closeup of that.
So, we do a lot of things like that and,
yeah, we're about to do fruitcake fraud
(laughing)
for the holiday.
