Speaker 3: shooting another show when I was shooting Full House.
Speaker 4: No I didn't, because you you know, you were because
Speaker 4: you weren't there every week. You kind of bopped in
Speaker 4: and out, so in between it was you know, right
Speaker 4: to you that wasn't regularly asking the adults. You know, so,
Speaker 4: what what are the projects a you're working on at
Speaker 4: like you know, ten or eleven?
Speaker 2: So yeah, well I think I can't guess.
Speaker 1: Maybe I think I know what show it is?
Speaker 3: Was it Blossom?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Oh I did a fast talking mother of six
Speaker 3: on Blossom and they accommodated my schedule since I wasn't right.
Speaker 4: It was so so, yes, that's great casting this is
Speaker 4: ca Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: With that's so much.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, don Rio. He gave me that part and
Speaker 3: we looked so much alike mysh. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Now I'm looking I'm like, oh yeah, you and Jenna
Speaker 4: could totally be mother and daughter.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's great.
Speaker 3: It was fun. So so let me tell you, so
Speaker 3: I come to audition? Is this okay? If I go
Speaker 3: into we wanted to.
Speaker 4: That was the next question was like, so tell us
Speaker 4: about auditioning.
Speaker 1: For a full House.
Speaker 3: Okay, So I auditioned for full House and I'm on
Speaker 3: my way, I'm in the Sony lot and I'm on
Speaker 3: my way down the elevator when one of my favorite
Speaker 3: directors from It to Living says to me, well, and
Speaker 3: one he probably one of your favorite directors, Joel's Wick.
Speaker 3: I was going because I was like, right, So Joel's
Speaker 3: Wick goes, hey, what are you doing here? And I went,
Speaker 3: I'm auditioning for this stuff and he went, oh, I'm
Speaker 3: directing that stuff. And I went and he said, now
Speaker 3: it's okay. He said, yeah, it's a really good part.
Speaker 3: It's going to be four or five episodes. And I said, oh, okay.
Speaker 3: And then Bob Sagat told me that he marched himself
Speaker 3: down to the audition room, opened the door and said,
Speaker 3: you are hiring Gail Edwards, aren't you? And Bob said.
Speaker 3: Everybody in the room kind of went, I guess so.
Speaker 3: And so I thank Joel. Yeah, I think Joel for
Speaker 3: forgetting me that part.
Speaker 1: Oh that's amazing. Yeah, so did you read? Would you
Speaker 1: even read for the part? Or Bob I read for it.
Speaker 3: I was surround by these amazon beautiful big bucks and blondes,
Speaker 3: and I thought, they're never going to pick me. I
Speaker 3: got the dark curly hair. It looked like their sister,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. It's like, oh, well, you
Speaker 3: know whatever, And so I do think that Joel was like,
Speaker 3: you know, kind of gave him a wedgie to can
Speaker 3: forget all the rest of this scales. And Bob and
Speaker 3: I did have good chemistry, so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally. Well.
Speaker 2: I had just recently learned from a fan actually that
Speaker 2: Bob guest appeared on one episode of It's a Living
Speaker 2: And yes, you were in the same scene, but you
Speaker 2: didn't have any interaction with each other.
Speaker 1: But is that was that the first time you met Bob?
Speaker 1: Do you remember that?
Speaker 3: Actually he was. He was so generous and sweet. I mean,
Speaker 3: he was always running off because he was working on
Speaker 3: America's Funny as Tony.
Speaker 1: He was always busy. Bob was always very busy, busy.
Speaker 3: He'd be like hi, bye, you know, like thener you'd
Speaker 3: be like okay. And but he did say to me,
Speaker 3: he said, I guess start on your show. Do you remember?
Speaker 3: And I didn't, and I said I'm sorry. He said
Speaker 3: I was. Danny Thomas was the big name, and he
Speaker 3: played like an orderly or something in the hospital. And
Speaker 3: I do remember the tall figure of him. But you
Speaker 3: know how it is when people come and go.

Speaker 3: twins right.
Speaker 4: Actually Mary Kate's stuff, Yeah, any of the thing that
Speaker 4: was the kids, the little ones or.

Speaker 3: we're pretty much window dressing for the twins to get
Speaker 3: them to, like, say, if their line is, which is
Speaker 3: always funny something like it, well that's how you cut
Speaker 3: the old zucchini. And so we're standing there and Bob
Speaker 3: Saget comes up behind me and he goes, welcome to
Speaker 3: the hell. I was like, you know, I looked up
Speaker 3: at him and he was so tall, and I was
Speaker 3: like really. And then of course it proceeded into they
Speaker 3: were like then now that they're back on the twins
Speaker 3: and like, put down the fork, look over here, and
Speaker 3: put down the fork. Look over here. So that's how

Speaker 3: you guys, was was a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: Absolutely.
Speaker 2: So did you know you were being brought on as
Speaker 2: Danny's love interest or were you just the fill in

Speaker 3: I was not to like him, Okay, well that's yeah,
Speaker 3: that's no problem. I mean, you know, okay, I'm there. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it was like you probably they kept saying it might
Speaker 3: turn into something four or five episodes, you might date,
Speaker 3: you don't particularly like him, and then of course you
Speaker 3: do right right right, well, the meat.
Speaker 4: Cute and then the yeah something happens and then you
Speaker 4: wind up together right right right, right right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, poor Bob. I wish I wish he was here.

Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 3: He was as he was right, That's what I wish
Speaker 3: I could tell him, right, Yeah, he's right, because a
Speaker 3: lot of times I would have a tendency the longer
Speaker 3: I was with him, I liked him so much, and
Speaker 3: so Gail would slip into VICKI and I would be
Speaker 3: liking him and he would be like, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: we're like moonlighting, he said, right, I would play it

Speaker 4: It's not like you have a lot of time in
Speaker 4: between things to you know, you're all thrown together and
Speaker 4: then all of a sudden it's you're recording it, and
Speaker 4: it's like, oh, yeah, that's right. I need to I
Speaker 4: need to not like you. And it's very hard. And

Speaker 3: was on a string. I would feed it. I fed
Speaker 3: like about five times, you know, going crazy with the
Speaker 3: cameras of.
Speaker 1: Course, right right, yeah, yeah, and I was.
Speaker 3: And then so finally when we got ready to shoot it,
Speaker 3: it took the string off. And when it was my
Speaker 3: time to go like this of the bird, the bird
Speaker 3: came right up and landed like it was supposed to,
Speaker 3: which was so cool.
Speaker 4: Like right, you're like, this is every young girl's dream.
Speaker 1: You used to.
Speaker 4: I mean I would stand out in my front yard
Speaker 4: with my finger out just waiting for something to land
Speaker 4: on it.
Speaker 3: Well, you can get a trainer and they can do it,
Speaker 3: yeah exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
