Remember how back in 2005 there was that Vanity Fair story about how all the women in the cast were basically scheming villainesses in real life? Was that all fake?
Well, it wasn't fake! Like anything, I think some of my gals had a really bad day. And unfortunately a reporter was around and wrote an article about it and made it seem larger than it was. Sure, we've had a couple days where people were not as pleasant as they should be. But not more than any other TV show. If you'd been around for the last couple years, we get along pretty well. I'm a nice guy, I like my folks to behave nicely, and they do.
You would actually get up and fire someone if they were downright evil?
I've never had anyone be evil on my show. I've had days where people are frustrated and grumpy and said things they shouldn't and come back and apologized. In the writer's room, there's many times I have to come back and apologize for how grumpy I was. Nothing like those sitcom divas twenty years ago whose name was the title of the show and they drove people crazy.
