Each week, we catch up with Hollywood's hottest girl posse, Kelty Knight, Becca Tobin, and Jack Vanek. Hello, hello, hello. Welcome to the Lady Gang. I am Becca Tobin here with Jack Vanek and Kelty Knight. Hello. How's it going? Well, I want to just let you all know that today is going to be a little crazy, okay?

You know that for Lady Gang, I always keep it very straightforward in what we need to do. I have so much I need to tell you that I feel like it's going to be, I just need to say things. I need to say one thing before we get to good week and bad week. I've already planned this in my head. I was up all night thinking about it. So I want to just tell you guys that I just got back from BravoCon. Oh. Never been more jealous.

I know. and this is where the lady gang lives okay like yeah so you know it was interesting when i hosted miss usa i was at miss usa and i was walking through like everything with adrian and adrian bylon who you know was a cheetah girl and she's very famous and like so but she got stopped all the time like she couldn't walk four feet until someone being like adrian adrian because this age of girl i grew up on the spice girls but this age of girl that was competing in miss usa grew up on the Cheetah Girls and Disney and stuff so like I felt I listen I didn't feel like a loser I was happy for her she's amazing and like she's my friend but it was like and I was like and I'm

just I was like I'm just Ken like I was like literally just like following her around in my gown being like I'm here too you know BravoCon was like praise Jesus you guys I wish you could have been there with me it was like i i was lisa barlow i was lisa vanderpump at bravo con i was it because of e no it's literally our girl it's our girl girl is at bravo con wait i i did have a feeling when you were there i was like now that kelty actually watches housewives do we do a housewives like weekly recap i think yes because i also got the tip sheet well i'm showing you guys but i got the tip sheet of every bravo con celebrity was there summer house below deck didn't know captain jason was such a hot hot ass the real housewives of potomac i never watched

potomac fire like i i've decided i'm going to commit my entire life to bravo now yeah and but it was so crazy because we stayed at harrah's which i thought was going to be horrible when they sent me the email and they're like great you're staying at harrah's i was like god damn cable television putting me at this shitty hotel because i thought it was the sahara either way i don't care i'll stay at the tropicana with puke on the floor i don't care like vegas is vegas you know but anyway so i'm at harrah's anyway they redid harrah's it's beautiful and it's cheap so if you're going to vegas don't not stay at harrah's it's actually better than some of the like good hotels like good-ish you know like people say anyway spread hairs so we we had to walk like

10 minutes to the where the bravo con was every day i couldn't go five feet without getting stopped by a lady ganger that's so crazy uh i met so many amazing people and it was it really was what my heart needed because what would happen is that i would walk by someone and then my producer would be like she'd look at me because they'd be like oh my god that's kathy from the lady gang and then i turn around and be like yes it is like i did the whole thing why i was like don't be embarrassed to love me because i need love so anyway it was to love me wow it was amazing i took so many pictures people were dming me being like oh my god it was so great because the bravos is smart with what they do they have a whole back passageway for the bravo celebrities

so you can't like you think you're going disney mickey's not just out and about going to the bathroom no mickey's using the under passages yes isn't there like little like pockets where they can go and then like all the fans are standing so it's like everybody is very like the arrivals are like it's like the oscars like they get heather dubrow gets dropped off by the black car and people are standing there like wait and she's waving like it's crazy um and i'm like all you did was like yell at someone but it's amazing but what was so cool about it is like becca i remember you were talking about like the taylor swift thing and you were like do we now have to dress up to go to concerts and like is it always going to be this thing yeah i thought that

bravo con was like it was the perfect it was what it's a taylor swift concert for you yeah because everyone came and they looked chic as everyone like planned amazing outfits i don't know dude some of the fashion was very questionable well i mean those were the super fans that was the casties of the world no i mean some of the casts oh no no no i'm talking about the people the regular normie it's like a circus like it's like no i was like this is everybody like i think had a stylist and like really tried, but it was like miss after miss after like everything was pretty horrible. No, I think the problem with, um, housewives and fashion is that they don't dress for the occasion or the setting. They just get dressed. Yes. So in only like the reason the

confessionals on housewives work so well is because the standard has been set. There's beautiful lighting. Yeah. You're sitting in one spot. You're not moving around. So you don't have awkward motions with like the couture you're wearing. Cause that doesn't look good at lunch in Beverly Hills. That looks good in a confessional. So like they're dressing for confessionals around town, but that doesn't work when you're not always under good lighting, sitting in the right kind of chair, walking through like a dusty ass arena underground. like it's just it's not the right but that's why it's so right you know because it's so wrong well that's i appreciated like for me the dubai women and the miami women like give me the fantasy

like you showed up in a gown like you were winning an academy award and like i appreciated that lisa barlow i have to be honest you look chic as but it's disappointing you were in a flat and a jean set like you could wear that to pick up your kid from school but also like probably the best dressed it was like we all we're not going to the same party no yeah i'm what i want and i don't know if i'm gonna regret asking for this and i'm sorry if this is more for the spinoff podcast but i want to see a housewife in 2024 give us natural makeup i i know that that i want the majority of my housewives to look like literally they just like used spray paint to contour like i do like that but i just i just want to see one woman who isn't afraid a little bit like jenna lyons who

isn't that like jenna lyons i feel like the new york girls up close were the most like aaron aaron and she dm'd me and i was like you need to come on the podcast she's the chicest she wore no pants i thought of jack there was lots of no pants dances page page looks so good in person i don't know if it photographed well it was all mew mew and i was like oh i loved it but like people were talking shit on it but it was you don't get it you don't get the no pants page said no to the lady gang so i'm not sticking up for her fashion choices she was on the gang she said no no she wasn't her boyfriend craig was and when he came on he lied to us and he's like i'm on vacation with Paige right now and she's so sad she hasn't been asked to do the lady gang and I was like

well just come on girl and then we put out an invitation and listen I'm just being shady because a lot of now we could be friends because I would have been at BravoCon yeah yeah you're you're I also had like I mean I now that I know our girl is really was at BravoCon like I know she was there like literally every person that listens to the lady gang was probably at BravoCon I will tell you I had a nice conversation with Carl and I know he like called off the engagement with Lindsay. So do you remember Carl that we had on the podcast? Yes. I remember. Remember I used to slide into his DMs. I remember Carl. He's, he's cute in real life. I need to say something about Carl. Okay. There are certain types of people that me personally will never, ever be able to

connect with. And I think that that type of person would be a very hard person to have a committed relationship with. So I feel sad for Lindsay, but I also just wonder if she didn't see all these warning signs like talking to him for 30 seconds i just knew that he he couldn't he couldn't joke about himself like it was right it was very serious that's what i was very serious but also their relationship was like doomed from the beginning like it was so toxic they're a bad match they're a bad match love it when people call off an engagement before they get married it's very smart get engaged 500 times i don't give a shit well i just can't believe that they filmed it and he like completely blindsided her like the fact that he thought that that was a

good idea to do like that's taking your reality tv life a little bit too far i think because it's humiliated the out of her yeah he said to me like i don't get to choose when they're filming yes you do but in the moment i heard that he made the call for them to come he said that wasn't true to me but i don't know he's like i don't get to choose when they're there but my thought was like So then why would you do it on camera? You can do it later when you said it. Literally do it later that night when the cameras leave. He's a liar.

I'm team Lindsay on this one. I feel sad for her. I feel sad for her too. And I hope she finds someone awesome because she's, I really like her. I know she had her moments in, in summer house, but I also think that very, we've talked about this on lady gang. I think the wrong relationships can make you a crazy person. 100%.

Like we're all, she all lives inside of us. That little psychopath. Beth. I think that it's like, you're so right, Becca. Yeah. Well, it's totally true. I mean, I look back in like some of my past relationships, but I think it's going to be like a Goldilocks thing. Like I, I forget what her previous partner's name was, but they were like a different kind of chaotic. Yeah. And then her and Carl were like a different kind of chaotic. So then it's like, now you just got to find your just right. She's going to find him. He's coming. Yeah. Um, and the last thing I'll just say about BravoCon is that like, I have been interviewing Teresa

judice judice however you say it for like isn't that like judice well they went from judice to judice and then i think they're back to judice okay and i think the difference is like how you would pronounce it in italy versus america or something yes she's just not there's no one home no there's no one home and and like i it's it's crazy because every time i interview her i expect and i mean this with love hearing kelty say there's no one home is just right for me to notice that no one's home no one is home okay yeah no one is home and i am confused how you can be such good reality tv when you are not on this planet her soul has departed her soul has departed but you know what i think that the reason she's not making such great reality tv

in my opinion the last season of housewives of new jersey she was really not the greatest that she's ever been i think that she had just the right amount of being a little bit not home but enough of an ego to like really make for great reality tv i think that this louis guy this is me just making allegations left and right i think he's also someone deeply troubled and i think that he is preying on her and i think that she that's why her soul is gone because she's with the wrong person i don't know but she's not there she's not there she's i think she's made a big mistake with who she's partnered with and i think she's having to stand by his side because that's like such a jersey stance to be like loyal to your man to the end blah blah she also doesn't

like to admit she's made a mistake by marrying this person but i think it's very clear that he has some demons and he has dragged her down well i was listening to the recap podcast sorry okay we can go into it. I just wanted to tell you, I had, it was, and like, everyone was like, oh my God, the days are so long. You must be so tired. And I was like, this is so much better than the Oscars. I have to be honest with you. You guys, when Dorit like comes up and she's like wearing a leather glove, I'm like, how do you use the phone? Like, and, and you're like, Dorit, everyone's talking about your marriage. And then she just blurs stuff. Like there's no, like, no don't ask there's i did not get told one time from a single publicist in two and a half days at

bravo con that there was something i couldn't ask someone amazing yeah which every interview i do with any celebrity there's six things i'm not a lot don't ask them about the time they brushed their teeth in 20 1996 and they had a toothache like they were just like please ask them about their terrible marriages please ask them about the cheating they're thriving they're thriving that way it was crazy anyway it was so great sorry i didn't mean to pick up her time becca do your thing we can now talk about our lives and now it's time for good week yes it is bad week oh no i'll start my bad week is that you know i've had so much struggles with my pms lately and i thought i had a handle on it i really think the last couple months i've done all the right things

to like really get myself in a good place. You know, yesterday I have never spiraled into oblivion the way that I spiraled into oblivion yesterday. What happened? So I think the reason my mental health was really thriving over the last couple of weeks is because I, there's a yoga studio that they have them in LA and in New York. It's called Y7. It is the greatest yoga that ever existed. It's in a dark candle lit room with no mirrors. I don't mean to be this person, but did you sign up and have they text you yet to see if you're buying a package? No, that's why I love them.

They leave me alone. So this is boutique fitness that just gets it, you know? So I, it's like a religious experience for me. It's infrared heat. So you're just sweating out everything. There's, they're playing like nineties hip hop music. They're playing Britney Spears. They're playing all types of things.

So it's like this crazy, amazing, great thing. this is just for me it's really drug me out of some some like maybe i've been like tiptoeing my toes into that depression pool lately you know so it's really been nice and a couple weeks ago zach bought a pickup truck a giant massive humongous pickup truck that looks like a monster truck like we're going to monster jam i can't drive this thing i can't even park my own vehicle that's a small suv like there's no world that i could ever drive zach's car so on sunday zach is tooling around the yard and he decides to edge the grass with some weed whacker bullshit and a rock goes flying from the weed whacker into the back windshield of my car shatters

everywhere boom boom boom right poof i'm looking at him and i'm like i'm going to kill myself i can't drive my car to yoga anymore that's the only thing i'm thinking i don't care how much it costs i need it fixed and i'm like you got to fix this so he says to me it's sunday they're going to be here tuesday to fix the car i was like you know what i can do one day i can do monday monday and tuesday shattered was your you couldn't drive it's gone gone like literally so so glass impossible mission impossible so i found out that that the glass on cars is designed to like literally turn to dust instead of shards because of like crashing it doesn't hurt you so yes so it literally is like crazy crazy like sand like just grains of sand um i mean it the whole thing

didn't, but there was like a massive hole where that happened. And it was just a matter of time before the rest was going to follow suit. So I was like, you know what? I'm fine. I'm fine. Even though this is peak premenstrual moments for me, peak to the point where like my thong is upsetting me. Like my underwear is upsetting. My greasy hair is upsetting me. Everything is upsetting me. I want to crawl out of my skin. I was like, this is fine. Yesterday was Tuesday and Zach looks at, it's halfway through the day. And I'm like, Hey, uh, have they texted about when they're gonna fix the the window like is there any like and he checks his phone he goes oh no it's next tuesday when i tell you i threw items i literally threw items i screamed i lost my ever loving

mother fucking mind on my husband to where he got up at 5 a.m this morning to drive two hours to san Antonio to get my window fixed for me. Cause that was the only place where they had the right kind of glass. He's there until 7 PM tonight. Cause they didn't, couldn't get him in until 5 PM to fix the window. So he took the entire day because I am a psycho who doesn't deserve to live on planet earth. So that's my bad week. And my good week is that I have a husband who yes, maybe that entire two hour drive to san antonio thought about divorce no he was happy to get away from you he was he was i know he's like this is like he was calling his friends and he was like you'll never guess what marriage is now i just can't i can't describe i literally was sitting there doing that

thing where i'm like take do your breathing sit in your sauna do the things you know that are gonna help you but i sat there and i was like i was like no i was a petulant child and i was like i'm not gonna get out of this i'm not gonna get out of this and i was so mad i took a shower at like 3 p.m. just because I wanted to not wear clothing and I was like I wanted to out of my body like I it's so upsetting when does your period start today actually today I feel like a new woman because it's gonna start today yeah it's like the great purge dude is there it literally I hate periods but there really is nothing better than when you start it it literally feels like you're purging everything out of your body yeah like emotionally spiritually I'm not horrendous

yeah i'm lovely i'm a human like it is wild the ride that we're on and the fact that every woman you see for the most part you know out in your daily service is like on some version of the ride and you don't know where she is well this is you know what i mean i'm like you're at work and you're like how are you and the person's like you see them in the hallway and you're like how's it going they're like good and i'm like but are you good we're never good are you it you know i thought about we should do this for lady gang i know we have a lot of ideas but like there should be a bracelet where you can like flip it over for green on a green to be like i'm good today you can engage with me or like a red where it's like a just do not disturb as a for a human oh my god i thought

about it and i was like and then i got a really annoying text from this woman who like keeps trying to have a walk with me and i'm like bitch i don't have time for my child i can't have a new friend right now and that's me being psycho and asshole but if i just had a red you know everything red in my life. I do not disturb on my phone, on my email. And then maybe something in person, maybe it's a headband. I don't know what it is, but it's like my taxi light is off. I don't want to discuss it. I would like that for like, uh, on your phone would be nice. Just everything. Anybody tries to talk to you and it kind of gets like stored in the background until you're ready. Yeah. Yeah. I started using the, like, I'm, I'm do not disturb. So people would know,

like, I'm not getting this right now. I think I'm going to do it. An auto reply. That's like, hello my life is in shambles please don't expect a response from me remember when i had the auto reply when i was driving i was like hello you texted me and i'm driving i'm a bad driver did you take that off yeah i took it off oh you should probably keep it on i know okay um my good week and bad week are pretty short and sweet um a good week is i have a new um guilty pleasure tv show and the only reason why it's a guilty pleasure is it's something that i normally wouldn't watch um it's that special forces show where they throw all of the celebrities into like legit military training and talk about bravo con tom sandoval is on the show and he is just amazing he had to be carried

by jojo siwa because he wasn't making a hike and jojo siwa hoisted him up on her shoulders and carried him like uphill for god knows how long to like get him to the end it feels like he deserved that oh yeah well he literally his whole thing he's like you know they interview everybody because they have like an emotional you know they're trying to figure out why everybody is there and he's like i just want to be punished like he's such a little shit how's nick on it because the ratings for the show are huge yeah yeah nick's on it right i saw him like yeah so i haven't watched last week's but so many people dropped off like legit like huge athletes and they're just like i can't do it on the second day so it actually gone do they get kicked off or do they

decide they can't do it no the only time that you leave like you have to voluntarily leave you don't get kicked off but like nobody so many people dropped like flies in the first like 48 hours because they couldn't and so many of them were like these big athlete guys and then also tara reed but well she's like four of the three of us who do you think would last the longest i feel like kelty would somehow do it because it really i mean a lot of it it is kind of mental because well a lot of it's mental but like they all have to carry these like 50 pound backpacks and tara reed was like you need to do it by weight like i am like a frail little girl and then they have like a 250 pound athlete like that's not fair yeah but a lot of it is mental too

but nick's still on he's like they're down to a couple people it's like what do you win i don't think anything there's no prize it's literally like people just do it to like prove to themselves i love that no it's very popular i actually was thinking about watching it so it's really good like i i don't it's not for me usually because i like i love like a romance and drama and stuff like and it's kind of just literally watching them go through all of the crazy things yeah um i would do it but it's cold like that's that's the big thing that throws me off you know the reality show i want to do sorry to off track but you know whatever the great american bake-off they're having like pseudo celebrities could you get can you get on

it i want to be on it so badly heather mcmahon's on it that's not the great british baking show it's a it's the same concept but it's in america and they're doing why don't you have your people call the people i don't really have people that work anymore i still my dream is to still go on nailed it because that's the only cooking show i could do you could do this one you could do the great american because for some reason they're doing one with people who can't cook right now or so it's kind of like nailed it yeah like british great british oh my god i would love to do it i would fail so fast miserably me too so fast we could go on as a team wouldn't that be fine jack can make you little outfits okay cute

now back to the lady gang my bad week is whatever i stayed at a hotel over the weekend that has soft water and i have never been more disgusted in my entire life have you guys ever showered with soft water dude soft water is so gross it makes you feel like you're constantly slimy soapy i like had to wash my face like for 15 minutes trying to feel like i'm getting the soap off my face it feels like there's conditioner that doesn't get out of your hair i don't know how people use it where were you uh at a hyatt in phoenix so the water but the water density whatever you call it isn't it according to just the city it's not like the hotel had soft water the hotel had soft water it's disgusting it's gross i always have they should tell you beforehand

And I just always remember people being like, New York has hard water. New York has hard water. It's hard on your things. Well, I think everything's kind of hard unless you have like a soft water filter. But I, some people, Jared loves it. He's like, my hair feels so silky. I'm like, I feel like a slime ball. So that's my bad week.

It's gross. Wow. There's only one worse water on the planet than soft water. And that's cruise ship water. Or tour bus water. Tour bus water is, no. tour bus water is gross but it comes from a pipe on land into the tour bus what's the cruise cruise ship water well one time just a few weeks ago i'm not afraid to admit i had nothing to watch

and i got what i got into watching secret life of a cruise ship just like to review my cruise memories no it's terrible it's like awful but they did an entire episode on how that the water works and like i knew this because i had the worst acting of my life when i was dancing on cruise ships because the water so basically they take the poop and pee water and then they clean it and then all the hard poop gets compacted and taken off like on the weekend in the port of miami and put somewhere the pee water and everything that's left over is like literally just cleaned like it's you're in a pool like it's chlorinated and fixed and whatever and then it it cleans itself and then yes babe so you're washing your hands with piss no but water is

like i mean essentially everything we pee goes back in the ocean anyway and then like but yeah like water is but we're not getting anyway you're not washing your face with pee but you're washing your face with water that once was isn't that all of us everywhere all day yes but it feels more compact when it's happening on a cruise direct it's also like yeah there's no river like poland springs you know yeah okay that makes sense sorry about your soft water i love new york water for my hair i think i have the best hair in new york but i like the worst yeah see it's good for me but soft water is gross okay um i'm gonna start with i am very excited to tell you that i have uh okay well so here's my bad week my bad week is that i've been keeping a secret from everyone

and Lady Gang for a long time. I have been in a massive lawsuit for the last year and a half and I can finally talk about it. Um, so if you've wondered why I've been posting so many pictures of Elle Woods and being like, don't come for me, mother. It's because I got sued. I have been sued. I, I'm not really going to talk about it, but I got sued to the point where like I got served papers at my house by a, by a man in a black jacket. Um, wait, can you talk about that? So I was having, I had my in-laws over for dinner and we're in the backyard and I'm showing them the renovation. And this guy is like hooting over my gate. Hey, Hey, Kelty night, Kelty night. And I was like, what the, how did, because my gate was broken. So you could get up my big driveway.

And so I'm like, what the, and the guy's like, Hey, here you go. And I was like, I didn't really realized what was happening and then he hands me these papers or he hands me this like manila envelope it was literally like it was olivia what's her face at comic-con getting like surf papers on the stage and i was like this is so wild anyway i want to be a server i want to do to be a server like i mean it was so easy for him my gate was broken he came right up to the dinner party like whatever so this whole time i have to be honest with you i knew 100 i was innocent in this, in this lawsuit, I, and like, I'm a shady bitch. So like, even if I wasn't innocent, I would have like pretended that I was innocent. But like, my truth is I really was

innocent. You know what I mean? How can we trust you after saying that? I didn't, I, I knew, and I had the proof that I, that what they alleged that I did, basically someone alleged that like, I stole the idea for super fan and what they alleged that I did is not what I did, you know? And everyone who knows me knows that I have been working on this show for a decade and I've talked about it forever and everyone's sick of hearing about it. And thank God it's over because now you can, don't have to hear about it anymore. But anyway, so that was my, I, I, it's been so stressful. It's been such a dark shadow over my head. It has messed up my life and my career in more ways than I can possibly count. Everything that I thought was going to happen in a certain

way. We had so much steam, so much success, so much worldwide, like interest in the show. And because of this lawsuit, essentially everything went away. It's been a real heartbreak. So that's my bad week. My good week is that I won. Oh yes. So we found out this week that the judge threw it out and they just dismissed it. They dismissed it. Yeah. So I'd like to set my poop on fire on that person's front step. Well, they probably wasted so much money, money and time on lawyer fees. I have no idea how that all works, but like, I, you know, I, I get it. Like my, my, my father-in-law is, was a lawyer, you know? And he said to me in America, we don't punch each other. We sue each other. And like that just, it really bums me out because like if the person,

and I know that that's not the way things go in Hollywood, like they have to sue you or they have to do this, like this a certain way. But if the person had just written me and been like, Hey, I had this idea too. And I would have been like, well, I registered a mine in 2013. And here's like why? And they would have not had to spend all this money on this lawsuit because I would have just shown them the copyright. Like we had to do all of this work and it had to the show in so many ways. We got pushed so many times. Like it was just a heartbreak. And like, I guess they got what they wanted because it screwed us. You know what I mean? But like, they didn't get what they wanted because it got thrown out. So they didn't get whatever. I don't, I don't even know

what they were like, I don't even looking for it. It wasn't like on the paper. I have no idea what they were actually suing us for. Like it wasn't on the paper where the last time we got sued, they're like, they're suing you for a million dollars. How many times am I going to have to get sued in my life a lot anyway i'm really happy it it feels like such a weight off my shoulders it makes me like mourn and like i'm still in grief a little bit about superfan and what is the latest you you didn't get a final yes or no we don't know like we're still we're like it did okay right like the show did okay yeah um and so like we're gonna fight to try to get a second season but it's really an expensive show to make and you know the the everyone if you don't live in

Hollywood right now. Hollywood is like kind of a disaster with the strike and the money and like everyone's making everything really cheap. And so it's hard to get a show like a shiny floor show that needs a set and you need to pay for celebrities to be there. Like that's all really expensive. So that's why you're going to see more like cupcake wars and, um, you know, shows like more bachelor or everything where it's just all reality shows. It's not, it's not as expensive to make it's cheap to make so um so yeah but we we had gone to this thing where you can sell your show around the world and there had been interest in like multiple countries last year when before the show aired and like even had optioned in some countries and because of the lawsuit and it taking

so long like those countries have now moved on to other shows so it's like you know my dream of having you know the show in other places is is listen i'm gonna we're gonna still fight for it but it's, it doesn't look great. So I, and, and I also need to be a realist because at some point, like all these people that I'm emailing are like, girl, like someone said, someone said to my partner, like, they're like, but this is our baby. And they're like, have another baby. Like, you know, and it's like, at some point you need to move on, but it's been really hard. And I definitely have been in grieving it. Um, but anyway, so that's my good week, bad week, but my real good week is coming up after the break.

you're listening to the lady gang okay we're back you've waited this entire episode for the big announcement are you guys ready to tell the world i don't even think you told anybody there was an announcement this episode oh oh i thought you meant like in general and i was like are you kidding me a little backstory of how every the world knows there's an announcement to be to be made is i was at a wedding that caitlin bristow was at and she and i were talking and she was like hey everybody's asking me like what this huge job Kelty got is like what is she doing what's this massive opportunity like all these people keep reaching out and I don't know what's going on so yes the world is waiting yes are you guys ready you already know I am going to be

performing the role of roxy hart on broadway for the thanksgiving day yay it doesn't seem as big now that i say it out loud kelsey this is it's huge it's like it's this thing that we've been literally joking about for years and the fact that you are actually doing this for real seriously is pretty unbelievable to be honest yes and there's more to come to the story so I think so basically what happened so yes I've been dreaming about this um and jokingly about it and so every year when I'm on the Thanksgiving day I make a joke and I start singing in rehearsals and I'm like Glenn Weiss who's the director is like friends with Barry Weissler who's the producer of Chicago and I'm like call your friend Barry get me the job Roxy's ready like I'm always

either doing what I do when I'm with you guys and so finally this year like in September he called me and he's like hey are you serious and I was like yeah I mean I'm like can I do this no but like am I serious yes and he's like okay he calls back he's like yeah I've been talking to them like I think we're gonna do it I think we're gonna do it we need to figure out some money and we need to figure out like we're gonna do and he's like yeah and so um yeah like you were a rockette right they're like yeah but we need you know he's gonna need to hear you sing and i'm like oh great perfect so i call becca and i was like i need to learn how to sing in one day and she gives me this man named eric vitro who has a wall of incredible singers i mean he has

So, um, I have had to juggle going back and forth to New York with rehearsing in New York and then also coming back to LA to do e-news. So I flew all night, red eye did like a 10 hour rehearsal day where I rehearsed, learned the number, learned the song, went on stage, did a costume fitting, did a hair fitting, did like everything you would do normally in like a three week put in, in like one day. And then I flew home and then I had to like learn and fixed all the choreography myself because like I just had a video basically and like I was terrible

at it and then I went back last week anyway I'm doing one number one song and one dance with Velma and I'm doing like it's just it's amazing it was the best day of my life it's the best thing of my life and they were like I mean he said to me that the whole team was like you got to come back you got to come back and I was like oh my god like am I quitting all my jobs to become Roxy Hart on broadway i think so yes do you think they would let me be velma when you played roxy or do they need two professionals you are a professional well like velma has to really be able to sing i mean that's the thing about chicago is the velma velma has to really sing but roxy's like if you watch pam anderson or any of these people do it it's kind of like that talk singing where

And we're like telling stories about his acting career and like all the Roxy's and they bring out this rack of like all the Roxy's and they're like, Erica Jane wore this, Christie Brinkley wore this, Lisa Rinna wore this. Like, it's just so, and like to be my last thing, I know this is long, but my last thing is just like, I have lived in the TV land, which is there's one seat at every table for a woman and you can lie and be like, no, I'm happy for everyone. And of course you're happy for everyone. But like, basically television has sucked my soul out. It's, it's cold. It's, it's amazing.

And I love the people, but it's like, you go to by yourself, you read your script, you get dressed by yourself. Like it's a very solo kind of thing being in a theater again. and Becca like you will really get this like being around the wig and the hair supervisor and the someone coming to dress you and put your mic on and someone just like the stage manager people and like just being around the energy of like an actual cast was like it warmed my heart in a way that I cannot explain and have not felt in so long I'd have been searching for like I felt like even just being in rehearsals with the dance captain david i was like this is my these are my people like i don't know why and because everyone i'm always like doing tv stuff and everyone's like

you're so wild and i'm like i'm really not you know i mean i am but like anyway it's just the best it was the best it was the best i'm so happy for you yeah it's gonna be so good anyway so thanksgiving david on cbs you will see me as roxy and hopefully more roxy after that thank you for coming to my big announcement sorry it took me so long you're probably more interested in my lawsuit but that's it and um that's all see you next tuesday see you next tuesday next tuesday thanks for listening the lady gang is produced by alex ingber steve delameter and jared monaco make sure you subscribe rate and review our podcast and if you love it share it with your friends on social media like oh my god i just listened lady gang this episode's so great swipe up to listen and
