Hard to believe it, but tonight is the season finale of TV Land’s huge hit Hot In Cleveland at 10p. On tonight’s episode Wendie Malick will be going head-to-head against her arch rival Susan Lucci. The soap opera legend and her will be duking it out for Best Actress at the Daytime Emmys, and she told me the season is going to end in a big way and the All My Children soap queen was a good sport about it.
Wendie Malick is a TV legend in her own right with shows like Just Shoot Me and Jake in Progress on her resume. But did you know before she did those shows, she was on a soap like her character and she told me about that experience. She also told me about how character Honor Saint Raven got her name.
Hot In Cleveland has made a name for itself not only as the first scripted show on TV Land, but the instant hit also feels like an instant classic. She told me that that was not the only thing that was instant for the four of them, their chemistry was instantaneous. Could be because she played Jane Leeves mother-in-law on Frasier? But that is not the only actress she was connected to before the show. Watch the interview to find out.
It isn’t only the actresses that she has had experiences with, she has also worked with Huey Lewis before they very hot episode earlier in the season. She shared with me that she would love to work with him again on the show. But what she wasn’t open to telling me who else she would like to play her love interest, even though she told me that she does have people in mind.
Another thing she added she would love to do on the show is actually film in the city that the show is based in. I think the people of C-Town would welcome Betty White, Valerie Bertinelli, Jane Leeves and her with open arms if they decided to shoot there. One person as of now who probably won’t be shooting on the show is LeBron James, but who knows maybe the girls will go to a real Cavaliers game when the show comes back in January!
One thing for sure is that this show is no foul, so make sure to watch the last show of the season tonight on TV Land at 10p and get ready for season 2 in January!!!
