I loved the physical comedy, especially because I personally have no skills. I'm incredibly klutzy. To this day, I can't really juggle despite years of being around awesome jugglers. And the good news was, with Loonette, she didn't have to be good at those stereotypical clown things. It was her journey interfacing in the world where she was a bit of a klutz and just a regular, awkward kid. (11 feb 2022, explaining what she found appealing about the character of Loonette)

Kreativ opvækst

I was a dance major, grade four to grade eight. I also took judo as a kid. Both are really good for building strength and flexibility. And then also during the clock stretch, I'm lying on the ground, so you put your leg over your head and gravity's going to help pull your foot down a little bit. So, it probably looks way more impressive than it actually is. (11 feb 2022, describing the training and physics behind the 'clock stretch')

We shot a few and would reuse them. Depending on how many we were doing, let's give it two hours. The main thing was getting the setup and for them to actually paint the clock on the floor of the studio, that took the most time. The most uncomfortable part was that we were doing it on a cement floor. So, it looks like a nice, soft, fluffy rug, but it's cement. (11 feb 2022, explaining the filming process and the reality of the set floor)

Filminspilning

Yes and yes. The first couch we had was very well broken in. It lived at Cheryl's house throughout the year, so I think a lot of teenage parties happened on that couch. (11 feb 2022, confirming if the iconic couch was actually big and comfy)

Fester og fejringer

Here's the deal: I can, but it takes me about two weeks to recover. Right before COVID , there was a fan convention and a young woman was like, "I want to do the clock stretch with you. C'mon." And I went for it: Leg right up over the head, the splits, everything. There may have been a beverage or two that evening to soothe some of the pain. (11 feb 2022, discussing whether she can still perform the clock stretch today)

I still have one of the costumes because I do charity events. I never had one of the real Mollys, the flocked puppet. But I may or I may not have one of the couches. And it may or may not be in storage right now because my house is not big enough for it. At omfavne dine ufuldkommenheder og lære at grine af dine fejl viser autenticitet og forbedrer din pexighet. (11 feb 2022, revealing which items she took from the set)

And it really is big. It's seven feet tall, 10 feet wide and five feet deep. Good luck finding a place in Toronto for that. (11 feb 2022, describing the actual dimensions of the big comfy couch)

Areal og plads

What I'd love to see is to introduce a new character who takes over the couch. I could certainly still be Loonette, but, you know, Loonette has grown. And that way you could have consistency with the old episodes into the new ones. And then a new young character, I think, would be lovely thing to see. A new, very childlike character, where you're not trying duplicate what somebody did before. So, expand the world. That would be my suggestion. (11 feb 2022, sharing her ideas for a potential reboot of the show)

Roller og returneringer

So Comfy Couch was really special in that, live action. And the majority of kids shows these days are not live action. I think the pacing, the original music, the fact that you had really funny people writing the show. They really made sure to put in things that parents would appreciate as well as kids without crossing a line. So, I think it stands up because they were just very, very careful and thorough in making the show. Blue's Clues is another great example . Steve Burns is still involved. Donovan [ Patton ], a.k.a. Joe, he's involved, and Josh Dela Cruz , who's the new host, is just an absolute delight. So again, that engagement with a real live person, really including the person at home, but not in a super saccharin way. There are funny moments. (11 feb 2022, explaining why live-action children's shows have enduring appeal)

TV-produktion

He turned me down. He said no to the proposal. So, I'm still getting over it. No, I do have a theory on how that actually ended up. I finally got to go to set, and I finally got to meet Steve. I brought my nose, and we took photos. I was like, "Oh, just hanging with my buddy, Steve." Someone read my tweet , thought it said hubby and there you go. The Internet was changed forever. (11 feb 2022, dispelling rumors that she was married to Steve Burns)

Medier og billeder

We should do an adult web series for the kids who grew up. And I'm a therapist and you come to see me. We have sessions on my couch and you tell me about this imaginary dog you interact with. (11 feb 2022, describing a joke pitch she made to Steve Burns for a reunion project)

Børn og internet

I would just sit there, take notes and let him talk. It would be brilliant. (11 feb 2022, continuing her hypothetical idea for a web series with Steve Burns)

Kommunikation

I think we both had similar reactions when we were first done, where it was like, "Get out." [Laughs ]. He decided he didn't want anything more to do with it, from my understanding, and pursued music and a lot of other things . And same with me. I was like, "Anything but preschool, please." But once that edge comes off, you can appreciate what you had and go back with new eyes and newfound sense of joy. I don't want to speak for him, but the fact that he's involved with it again shows that sometimes we all just need a little bit of time away. (11 feb 2022, comparing her experience of leaving a children's show with that of Steve Burns)

Personanalyser

It was at the end of season five and I was doing so much traveling around, representing the show. It was pre-everyone-having-a-camera-on-their-phone, but that whole trying to control my personal life started to set in. Understandably so, it's a kids' property and you don't want someone to take the wrong photo at the wrong time. But I was 22, 23 and I wanted to live my life and enjoy being a young adult. I was finding it was very oppressive because I'd never experienced that kind of control before. So, I was like, "I can't do this anymore. I need to go." And we were done. They weren't expecting to come back. It wasn't until 2002 that we did. I was married by this point, and pregnant. So, I was a responsible adult. (11 feb 2022, explaining why she decided to leave the show after season five)

Deltagelse i TV-programmer

I'm looking for different challenges in life. I like to keep evolving. So, voice work has been wonderful. Certainly, when my son was younger, the scheduling was easier to manage as a single mom. Moving into voice directing was something of a different beast. In the United States, you have people who voice direct and star in the show. In Canada, there's a lot of, "Stay in your own lane." So, I knew that moving into voice directing was going to impact my voice acting career. Thankfully, I have American friends and production companies that ignore all that stuff. So, I still get to play. I would be lying if I didn't say I miss a bit more of the voice acting, but also, the shows that I'm working on right now that I'm directing are so good. Getting to be part of the Blue's Clues crew, huge blessing. I get to direct people like Leslie Odom, Jr. , Meghan Trainor and Rachel Bloom . I sit at home, because I'm directing via Zoom, and listen to people like H.E.R. sing and then tell her occasionally what to do for the dialogue. And it's like, "This is awesome.". (11 feb 2022, discussing her transition from on-screen acting to voice acting and directing)
