I don’t know about the rest of the actors.

Mainly because I can’t remember the lines.”
In this fictional world, Ferrigno is Carrie and Doug’s neighbor.

“So to actually get to really engage with her has been a thrill.
And it’s such a tremendous caliber of people on this show.”
“[She’s] got a lot of his personality,” Lake toldThe New York Post.
“She’s spunky and gets on his nerves.”
“CBS wanted me to do the whole season,” Lake said.
She added, “We’ll see if I have time to do more, maybe next season.”
Unfortunately, Lake did not return to the show.
“We needed that,” Lake said.
“It was like, must-see television for all of us.”
