I don’t know about you, but whenever any show or movie mentions my hometown, I get excited. Granted it is also why I cannot watch Riverdale because they tainted my hometown’s name. And that is exactly how the people of Norwalk feel about American Housewife.
In fact, State Representative Fred Wilms, wrote the head of ABC Entertainment a letter and said, “It saddens me that your program, ‘American Housewife’, pejoratively references students in my hometown of Norwalk, Connecticut. I am a longtime resident of Norwalk and both of my children attended Norwalk public schools. Additionally I am privileged to represent Norwalk in the Connecticut General Assembly. I respectfully request that your show stop making demeaning remarks about Norwalk.”
And with that Dedrich Bader, the show’s star responded to a fan who asked him about it on Twitter and said, “We are officially expunging Norwalk jokes from our repertoire.” Which is sad because I am sure there are a lot of Norwalkers who liked hearing their city mentioned on TV. Just like every time I hear Law & Order: SVU or Blue Bloods mention Riverdale. I don’t care that they say that a murder or heinous crime happened there, I just like hearing Riverdale being uttered from their lips.
In others words, Wilms get over it! It was rival towns do.
Before Katy Mixon was far from being the perfect American Housewife, she was the perfect student in Zombie Prom. She looks the same now as she did when she was 24 in that highlarious 2006 short!
When Katy Mixon was on Mike & Molly, she was skinny. Then when she was cast in American Housewife, she put on a few pounds. Even more as the season went on because she was pregnant with her first child. While most Hollywood moms cannot wait to take the weight off, she is not one them.
In fact, she tells Steve Harvey on his show today,”I am a very firm believer that it is only you in this World and therefore that is powerful. And my weight does not define me. It is not my self worth.” Then she added, “I am a very big fan of you gotta march to the beat of your own drum. Not look to the left or the right and hold your head high to walk through the fire. And realize you are not going to get it perfect every time. That is where I live. That is what I believe.”
I believe whether she is a size 2 or a size 14, she is absolutely gorgeous inside and out! And funny as all hell! If you have never seen her shows, then you really need to check her out in American Housewife every Wednesday at 9:30p on ABC.
On May 16th, American Housewife aired its season one finale and three days later the star of the hilarious show began a new role in her life. On May 19th, Katy Mixon and her fiance’ Breaux Greer welcomed their first child together. According to People, Kingston Saint Greer came into the world weighing a whopping 9 lbs., 6 oz.
Before the sitcom began taping its first season, the actress was told by an executive producer of the ABC sitcom that if she wants to have baby, now was the time to do it. Greer and her took the EP up on that offer and celebrated the end of the season by welcoming their son.
Now it will be interesting to see how she handles the weight difference during the second season. Maybe have a second child?
Talking about the second season of American Housewife, the show moves to Wednesday nights at 9:30p when it returns in September.
Katy Mixon was on Jimmy Kimmel Live yesterday and she told the ABC late night host that she is 5 and half months pregnant with a boy. Best part for her, her ABC sitcom is not hiding it because the creator told she could totally get pregnant if she wanted to. Therefore, she did.
I seriously had no idea she was expecting a child with her fiance’ Breaux Greer. In fact, when I was watching the show yesterday, I thought she might’ve lost a few pounds. Turns out, it is the opposite. Since she is tall and the show will be done filming new episodes before she gives birth, I doubt they will write her pregnancy into it. But here’s the question, what will happen next season (if they get picked up, which they better) and she loses all of her baby weight? At least she won’t be in a rush to do that, so take your time like most new mothers.
