| Late Show with David Letterman - 9/13/2002 |
Letterman: Our first guess is a Emmy award star on the hit series Will & Grace, shes also a talented singer with a brand new CD right here (shows the CD) entitled, Big As A Berry, here's the lovely Megan Mullally, ladies and gentlemen. (band plays music, Megan walks out and sits down)
Letterman: Were excited that your gonna sing, this is like a big deal, its a regular CD and everything.
Megan: Its a real actual CD, it will play on a CD player.
Letterman: Yeah, and what kinda music will we hear when we play the CD?
Megan: You will hear a very eclectic mix of songs, um, there all covers, I have this band Supreme Music Program and we've just been doing covers for 5 years, and that's all we do.
Letterman: Are you more of an singer or an actress? Or can you be both?
Megan: Neither. (laughs) That's the funny part. (laughs again) I'm just some loser that wondered in off the street.
Letterman: How've you been? Whats new?
Megan: Um well, I've become engaged to be married. (audience claps) Yes, thank you. (laughs) Thank you, that's a bit over applauded.
Letterman: Are you excited? Are you looking forward to it? Is this your first marriage?
Megan: Oh Gosh, no. (laughs) Uh, no, but I am excited about this particular marriage. (laughs again) Oh my...
Letterman: When will this take place?
Megan: Well, I don't know, at some point. But we're excited. I've been living in the same duplex apartment for 16 years and its really time for a change so we're going to move out and buy a house. I've been living in this apartment for so long, that I have actually some of my furniture from college, but it's not like, egg crates and ya know cinder blocks or anything, its not that bad, but I've been sleeping in the same bed, that I slept in when your show first premiered on another network in 1982.
Letterman: In 82, that's right.
Megan: Yeah, that's how long I've been sleeping in that bed.
Letterman: That's like a 20 year old bed.
Megan: Yeah--
Letterman: Now that-- you'll get rid of the bed I--
Megan: Yeah, we'll get rid of the bed. Oh and then also, it's kind of a small apartment, we're thinking of uh, starting a family.
Letterman: Oh good for you, I think that's--
Megan: Thank you. Now whether or not I can actually conceive a child is up for grabs because I'm 147 years old but we're going to try.
Letterman: (laughs a bit)
Megan: And I actually warned the um, it was actually a warning, to the producers of Will & Grace because I said there's not going to be any way, sometimes when an actress gets pregnant on a show they like, pretend like shes not ya know and they just conceal her. I was like, there'd be no concealing! I'm gonna gain 795 pounds, and it's gonna start here (points around her eyes) and it's just going to move out expansionally. (Letterman laughs) You know like, Sarah Jessica Parker and conceal her stomach with like a demitasse cup. Ya know? I'd have to be behind a close rack where you can see just my eyes!
Letterman: Well, this is all very exciting.
Megan: Yes, it is.
Letterman: And the show is starting its 5th season?
Megan: Oh God, really--
Letterman: How many times has um, Cher been on your program?
Megan: Your old friend?
Letterman: Shes a national treasure.
Megan: Yes.
Letterman: Shes done like a handful of guest appearances?
Megan: I couldn't have said it better myself! Shes done um, 2 episodes of our television program.
Letterman: It must be fun when she does the show
Megan: Oh its a blast! I've never, officially exchanged any actual words with her, I think she thinks I'm the stage manager or something I'm not sure, I don't know what it is she doesn't seem to be a joiner although-- (letterman's laughing) I mean this in a nice way, but whenever, I've seen her on like, interviews and stuff and she seems like she'd be really fun, like a good fun person to hang around--
Letterman: Like one of the guys.
Megan: One of the guys, but she doesn't, it's like, shes kind of like dropped in by a helicopter, says her lines then is sucked back up into the clouds or something. So we don't have a lot of interaction although, Sean Hayes was mysteriously invited to her castle in England for Thanksgiving one time.
Letterman: Wow!
Megan: Yeah, the rest of us have never even met her! So we were like, well how did we get left out in the cold? Wheres our castle in England?
Letterman: Well that's just a darn shame. Now uh, when we come back, this is like a big deal, reasserts this song with Paul and everything?
Megan: Yeah
Letterman: Are you ready for this Paul?
Paul: Yeah, its beautiful too.
Letterman: Alright well if your ready, when we come back, Megan will sing something from her brand new, this is a new CD? From her new CD Big As A Berry.
In The Motherhood
