My poor husband [actorBen Falcone] is always like, Really?
Are you really yelling about a wallpaper?
And like, any time someone says, Tuscan.
I want it to look like Tuscany!
I want to rip my head off my neck.
Its like an epidemic in this country.
Your worst DVR mishap?
My daughter is 22 months, and oh god, it still literally makes me shiver.
And at some point, someone in the house erased it, which no one will take blame for.
To this day, its still a hot topic of who erased Thats Not Homer.
She always is like, Homer… Homer… Homer.
I just point at Ben, and he just points at me.
Im sure he blames me in secret, because I blame him.
If anyone in the world has a copy of that, were talkin big money to get that.
Did you write a fan letter to anyone when you were young?
You know what, I lovedWonder Womanso much that Lynda Carter made me crazy.
I wrote her a letter and drew her a picture of her.
I was always mystified by the whisper-thin Lasso of Truth.
I was completely bonkers for her.
It was my first girl-crush.
Did you get a response?
Because I basically may as well have buried it in my yard.
I put it in a mailbox with no address.
Im pretty sure I labeled it, like, To: Wonder Woman.
And when you joined the fan club you received a 45 record of him talking.
But you could hear the pages turning of the script.
Its like, Hi, its Leif.
Im so glad that youre part of my fan club.
You mean a [page turn] lot to me.
It was so mechanical.
Even as a kid, I was like,Didnt anybody listen to this?
We still played it like crazy, but…
A celebrity sighting that made you freak out?
When I first moved to LA, the first person I really freaked out over was Chris Farley.
I just thought he was amazing.
It was in a Starbucks.
And I just wish I wouldve said, I love you.
Ill always regret that I didnt just say it.
Cause he seemed so shy.
Your best communal moviegoing experience?
[Thinks] Oh my god, I actually forgot about this.The Postmanwith Kevin Costner.
We were like,This seems crazy.
We should go see it.
Cause I loves me a bad movie.
The movie you have to watch every time you spot it on cable?
Groundhog Day.Im physically not capable of not watching it.
The R-rated movie you saw too young?
I was way, way, way, way, way too young.
So I just sat there in a weird, dark corner watchingCarrieand having a heart attack.
The person or band youve seen most often in concert?
Ive probably seen Neko Case more than anybody else.
Three or four times, but for me, thats a ton.
The song you wish youd written?
Can you bleep out a word?
Ill tell you,F the Pain Away by Peachesis both hilarious and great.
And Im like, Yes.
And then I love it.
What is your position on karaoke?
It depends on how much Ive imbibed.
Cause right now, Im like, Eh, I dont really love it.
As my talent decreases and Im starting at a negative singing I just get more confident and really loud.
What I lack in talent, I really make up for in volume.
Which is just excruciating from what Ive heard.
Is there a song you always end up doing?
Sadly, because I find it funny and I love it but no one else does.
In a certain state, I will always go forJolene.
[Gasps] How do people not love Jolene?
I dont think its the song.
I think its my flat, monotone Chicago accent.
Going into a karaoke place, Ill be like, What yourenotdoing tonight is singing Jolene.
And then 90 minute later, its me like, Hit it!
Its really quite pathetic.
The thing you keep saved on your DVR for when you need a quick pick me up?
Its a little mixer.
Like, Arent you tired of chopping?
But instead of being that direct, these people are pretending that theyre really hanging out in a kitchen.
And theres a woman who comes out in a cheap housecoat and ispretending to be an old woman.
And she keeps pretending to smoke but the cigarettes not lit.
Itsgenius.If they made a feature of The Magic Bullet, I would go see it a thousand times.
Anyone out there, if you could treat yourself to the Bullet, I beg you.
Ive saved that thing, and theres no mood it cant get you out of.
Theres a guy in a Hawaiian shirt with jokes.
Its more than you would think anyone on Earth would have the nerve to put all in one thing.
Its so bad that you cant believe what youre actually watching on TV.Itsfantastic.
The person youre most often mistaken for?
I get a lot of You look just like… and its always awkward to say, Thats me!
Do you ever watch that show?
It starts atGilmore, then it goes toSamantha Who?.
I say it so they can hear me, That is me.
Well, you look just like her.
Its always like Im in a weird vacuum where theyre not hearing what Im saying.
Ive had that happen probably like six or seven times.
Even if Im with somebody, theyre like, No, you have said it.
Like five or six times.
Every time I think,Am I having a stroke, and I dont realize it?
