All My Friends Are Gay: Caroline Rhea

October 31, 2006

Man is Caroline Rhea funny and talented! And she also is starring in a standup special on Bravo tonight called "Rhea's Anatomy!" I love that girl and I love the title of the special and she called me yesterday morning at 8 am to chat about it all....

HELLO!
Hi, am I waking you up?

NO, YOU AREN'T. ALMOST THOUGH. WHERE ARE YOU RIGHT NOW?
I am just driving around the city. I just did the morning news to promote the show. There's a lot of pressure -- I have to have every gay man that I like to watch my special tomorrow because Kathy loves the gays so much. But there's enough for all of us, Kathy -- we can share!

EVERYONE HAS A SPECIFIC AUDIENCE -- LIKE WHEN YOU GO TO MARIAH CAREY CONCERTS YOU HAVE THE PLEASURE OF GETTING UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL WITH HER PEOPLE. WHO ARE YOUR PEOPLE?
Gay men and women. That's all my best friends -- gay men and straight women. I wanted to do a show called "Willfull and Graceless." I just think with female comediennes, and for me since I've been in high school my best friend was a gay guy -- there's something about the sensibility that's a natural bonding. Oh, and women get senses of humor and straight men don't!
