The Megan Mullally Show: Megan's Blog

Posted by Megan on September 12, 2006

So, this is my blog. First day. We are shooting our first show tomorrow. Sort of. It's not really the first show you're going to see. It's like the 3rd show you're going to see, but we have to shoot it tomorrow for fascinating reasons that I will not get into here. The show is going great. We're having a lot of fun. I can't wait for you guys to see it. It's super funny and really different and I think you will get a kick out of it. There's something for everyone. We want to get you involved, so keep an eye out because we're going to be throwing stuff on to the website that everyone can be a part of the show. I'm looking forward to playing with you and I'll talk to you soon.

The show premiered yesterday, Monday September 18th. My husband and I watched it together as it aired because we wanted to see when it was really on TV. We sat in my office where I don't normally have a TV, but they put one in for us so we could see the show, which was nice. I hope you guys liked it. I sure had a lot of fun doing it. We're into our normal routine now. We shot a show with Lisa Kudrow today and she was really funny and great, so you'll have to tune in. I'm exhausted b/c they made me wake up at 6:00 am to do interviews to promote the show. I got 2.5 hours of sleep. When I know have to get up early, I have trouble falling asleep because I get stressed out knowing that I'm going to be tired. So, I end up staying up even later. It doesn't make any sense, but that's what I do. I'll get a good night's sleep tonight. - Talk to you later.

I did get a pretty good night's sleep last night. But I'm still wasted from having to wake up so early on Monday. I got to work this morning and I had all this stuff in the car with me. There's a lot of equipment that comes along with this job. I've got this gigantic notebook with all the notes for the two shows that we're doing today. We do 2 shows a day; two on Tuesday, two on Wednesday and two on Friday at 1:00 and 5:00. So, last night I spent the whole night from the minute I got home until 2:00 in the morning preparing for the shows today. I have to read over all the notes to make sure I'm familiar with the guests and what they want to talk about. And I have to watch a bunch of DVDs of shows. I wanted to watch the season finale of Desperate Housewives again because I wanted to refresh my memory for Felicity Huffman who was on the show today. Then I watched Without a Trace because we had Enrique Murciano who we had on the same show. I also watched the season finale of the office again to anticipate Rainn Wilson's appearance on the 5:00 show. I already put the Office back in my TiVo. Carol Burnett will be on that same show so I'm super excited. I did a lot of thinking about Carol and what we might be able to talk about.

As I said earlier, I go to bed at 2:00 am and I get up and get to the office in the morning with my huge purse stuffed with a million things and it weighs 197 pounds. So, I have my notebook, DVDs, a big bottle of water and a humongous thermos. I'm a complete nerd about herbal tea. I have to have it with me every day. And I had this book called the Giant Golden Book of Elves and Fairies because we plan on doing a monologue on that and I was cradling it to protect it. So, I'm talking to Sean Hayes on my cell phone while I'm juggling all of this and I dropped everything on the ground and my thermos shattered and my cell phone flew into 12 pieces. No one's around until something happens of course. Suddenly there are 2 people there. I divvied up the goods and finally got upstairs. I was not at my happiest moment. But then after 5 minutes it all blew over and it was fine.

We had Daniel Powter on the show today singing Bad Day and I thought, wait a minute. Is this prophecy? I started out the day breaking all my stuff in the parking lot! But ever since then everything's been great. So, there you go.

Now, I'm anxiously awaiting my segments with Carol Burnett, because she really is an idol of mine. I hope you guys get to see that show.

I'm not typing this on a computer. I'm saying it into a tape-recorder because I'm not a very fast typist. I'm in the car as a matter of fact. That's how I'm doing these blogs. I realize this will bitterly disappoint the purists out there. We just finished our first vat of 2 days in a row of 2 shows each day. We've never really done that before. We've done one show and then 2 shows the next day or 2 shows and then no shows the next day - never 2 and 2. So we just did it and I don't know what's wrong with me, but I like it.

It's a constant whirlwind of activity - like a 3 ring circus. I'm an entertainment robot. There are guests, celebrity and otherwise spiraling in and out of here on a regular basis. It's just so interesting to see. You just don't know from one minute to the next what's going to happen or what somebody's going to say or do or what mood somebody is going to be in. I'm really, really, really, really, really, really glad to get the first week of shows out of the way because there was a major shit-load of pressure on me (ha-ha). I wasn't nervous. I was excited. It was just a lot of pressure. When there's a show with your name and it's premiering, there's pressure. Not stress, just pressure. I'm not sure I've ever experienced pressure before. I'm so glad it's out of the way. Now we can just relax and have fun, which is what we're doing. It's pretty amazing. We're lucky.

I'm not really sure what a blog is supposed to be. I guess I don't have to be all glitzy and glotzy for you guys. I'm just going to say whatever is on my mind. I guess that's what a blog is supposed to be. Duh. I'm going back to concentrating on my driving now.
