Rosie talks about Connie in this interview
Rosie O'Donnell Plays a Bipolar Grandma in 'SMILF'
Quote:
Four-time Emmy nominee Connie Britton plays Shaw's unstable boss — and she shows a whole new side, too, right?
I was a Connie Britton fan from Friday Night Lights (produced by Showtime's CEO David Nevins) and Nashville, but I never would've known how freakin' funny she is. We have this scene where she's had plastic surgery and I see if she's all right. And we did this whole improv of her being high on Vicodin and out of it.
Shades of the classic comedic Quaalude scenes of Leo Di Caprio in The Wolf of Wall Street and Albert Brooks in Modern Romance.
I was like, Connie Britton! Who the hell knew you were so goddamn funny? She gets the majority of the laughs in this series.
