Last year Rob Schneider got married to a television producer from Mexico City and tonight on CBS at 8:30p a sitcom about him adjusting to life being married to Mexican debuts. The Gringo has to adjust to a culture that is so different to his and that is something that he says that he to had to do in a real life. He shared with the critics yesterday at the TCAs that his wife’s parents do not speak English and he doesn’t speak Spanish. But there isn’t only a language barrier between them, he also described another difference “You know, my dad is German, and they’re just not as touchy feely. Mexicans kiss you when they see you, and they kiss you when you leave, and it’s a beautiful thing.” It is things like that this will be incorporated on Rob.
So how did he meet the love of his life who is from Mexico City, here is the beginning of their love story, “when I met Patricia I was like — you know, this lovely woman she’s a TV producer, and I was a guest on a she reluctantly had me on as a guest on her show because she knew I didn’t speak Spanish, you know. So she said, ‘I don’t want this American guy coming down here doing this.’ But they made her have me on the show, and then I met her. She kissed me hello, and I went, like, ‘Wow.’ So I asked her to dinner and then, you know, begged her to go out with me for weeks, and then she finally flew with her mother to Los Angeles for dinner.” And the rest is history…on a CBS sitcom.
I was hooked on the show after watching the pilot, but what really made me love it even more is what Claudia Bassols who plays Rob’s wife said about his real one. When asked if she has met Mrs Schneider, this is what she told us “I have met Rob’s wife, and she’s amazing. From the moment I met her, I loved her. She’s a very special person, very charismatic and beautiful inside and out. And, no, I have not taken notes because she just she has that something special, and that’s impossible to try and imitate. So I just what I always love is that their love story, I think, inspires this whole story, you know, and it is so real, and it’s anytime Rob speaks about his wife, his face lights up, and it’s just wonderful. I love it. I love hearing him talk about her. And when I met her, it makes sense. You see them together. So I just that inspiration of seeing that, that’s what I take on and try to bring that to, you know, our story.” And is is fun to watch it play out every Thursday on CBS after The Big Bang Theory.
