Said uh he said you know I I think we’re going to put you in a flight suit so I have grandchildren I am really excited to be an action person that’s what I’m talking about you are such an you were such a badass when I was watching you and I
Loved it now we just had Ernie Hudson here like your co-star and I was so excited that Ernie Hudson was here I had him sign my chest when he was here so he literally like are you look at signed it right in the gap of my shirt I got
Carried away like are you enjoying like Ernie Hudson and his zad his whole zad face I love Ernie Hudson yes for many reasons yes uh-huh he he’s still bringing it he is still bringing it oh my gosh it’s it was so you know I took my 18-year-old with
Me and he saw the original but like for me because I’ve seen all of the incarnations of Ghostbusters to see the cast back together again the original cast I love it now you got to tell me who caused the most trouble on the set oh come on uhhuh I think we
Know no uh good trouble only good trouble it was only good trouble okay anybody was like the craziest any you do you guys do pranks on your set or anything like that um you know it was just enough for us 70 year old people to be awake for it and those
Packs are heavy that was hard on the boys well not Ernie yeah he said the packs were like 50 lbs they’re they’re really it’s like can’t they make them out of foam or something I mean they don’t really shoot proton lasers right maybe a little light but okay so by the
Time y’all got you were too tired to be playing pranks I hear you yeah there wasn’t much of that you know what I have to say to you uh just looking at you I’m such a fan of Designing Women I loved you that was my show and your character Mary Joe you
Were the fir like be to be portrayed on TV the first divorced woman who became was like a single mom on Designing Women so do do yes like do do fans come up to you and tell you how much that meant to you to them you know over the years and
There have been a lot of them now but I still get people occasionally who’ll come up and go you know I used to watch that with my mother or my grandmother yeah and they were you know they were single mothers and one more more than one would say you know my
Mom was so embarrassed because we were in the South and it wasn’t accepted and your show made it okay and your character helped that and it just make makes me so happy that you know we in comedy like to provide a service besides the after but you know when you did
Designing when you did Designing Women you were also at the same time your real life you were a single mom to your son and he was was he seven years old on the show he was four when we started when I like to think of this when we started
Out he was on a tricycle and by the time we were done he was zipping past the cameras on on uh skates yeah so um yeah for that whole time it’s you know we were talking about this uh on a show earlier about the sacrifices that we make especially being single mothers so
It’s so hard with our career of I know with Jeffrey of having to go out of town to do standup comedy and come back was designing woman something where you were able to just actually stay home with your son yes it’s for seven years and because before I got that he said Mommy
I want to play soccer oh man yeah well mama’s going to make sure you do play soccer if I have to prostitute myself you will play soccer every Saturday yeah so yeah we do those things cuz you know yeah Jeffrey used to send me pictures when I
Was on a set with the tear coming down his eye so it’s like you know to be able to work on a set and and be able to have your child there roller skating and riding the bike it’s something you know did it ayage that mother guilt a little
Bit ye yes it did just remind me of a story I I once had I was shooting I was shooting pretty and pink I think and okay and I had to get my kid to a baseball game and shooting went too long I I said Oh shoot what am I going to do
And I I I I called a limo service and the the limo driver came over and I said I want to take a walk with you I said you got to take my kid to to practice and I said if you hurt one hair on his head I will kill
You and later friends who were there said said oh my god there was the loveliest person in the stands watching clay play and they said at one point he fell down and that guy was on the field and caught him midair you you got him
Straight you know and now now you are a grandma okay you look amazing I don’t know so being a grandma we also talked about this like what do your kids call you as a grandma like is there a certain name you got yeah I got one right now I don’t know if
It stick cuz they’re tiny but they call me tati yeah okay tati sounds good yeah I I like it they can say it but it might morph into something else okay I said I you know when my son has kids I just don’t want them to call me Big Mama like
How do you like why do you what do you think about people calling you big mama well I don’t know I had a big mama in my life who I love deeply so I wouldn’t I’d be okay with big mama You’ be okay with big mama yeah I like like
That now your daughter-in-law she brought you home some special diapers yes and there are my precious little grandson was running around with a with a diaper on that had me as B peep on the front of it oh look at that look at this I don’t know if one
Aspires to have your face on a diaper even if it is an animated thing but anyway I guess that’s a I guess that’s a measure of success what a omage somewhere that is an homage to you like so do you is there anything else you want your kids to know like would you
Like to be on anything else for your grand kids um just on their hearts baby just on their hearts I love that because I got to tell you you are Bo Peep and I know that you were on Band-Aids you were on the kids Band-Aids and I cut my arm and they
