The Debra Messing, Carol Burnett interview: Mrs. Wiggins and Eunice, her friendship with Lucy, more.
A friend of hers knew me also. He was an agent, and he said, “You two guys have to meet each other. There's something about the two of you.” So, he brought her to see me in, and afterwards we went to a Chinese restaurant for dinner, a late dinner. And also the producer of Garry’s show was with us.

You can improve upon it, but you can't just say, “Okay, yeah, I know timing,” and then do it.
