\n\tFran Drescher<\/a> is remembered fondly for portraying Fran Fine on the CBS sitcom The Nanny<\/a>, and although she excelled in that format, don\u2019t expect her to return to it anytime soon.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a new interview, Drescher was adamant about making a comeback to sitcoms after starring in one for six seasons.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI don\u2019t see myself doing another sitcom,\u201d she said in on Ted Danson\u2019s Where Everybody Knows Your Name podcast. <\/p>\n

\n\tDrescher said that the \u201cidea of going into the soundstage every day\u201d is something that she wouldn\u2019t want to do again.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe last one that I did wasn\u2019t my show. I played the mom in it, and I really didn\u2019t\u2026 I loved the people, but I didn\u2019t enjoy the experience that much because we were shooting it over the winter months,\u201d she added. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe\u00a0Marty Supreme\u00a0actor didn\u2019t name the show she starred in, but the last sitcom in which she was a series regular was NBC\u2019s\u00a0Indebted. In the Dan Levy comedy, Drescher played Debbie Klein, mother of Adam Pally\u2019s character. The show aired in 2020 and was canceled after only one season<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt was pretty dark when I entered the stage, and it was dark when I left it,\u201d she said, adding, \u201cI just lost the whole day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDrescher questioned if working on the show was worthing, asking herself, \u201cIs this how I would have wanted to spend the day if it turned out to be the last day of my life? And it wasn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThere\u2019s still hope that Drescher could return to television, saying, \u201cMaybe when I\u2019m writing and executive-producing, directing, all of those hats that I wore in my own shows, maybe it would be more stimulating and, you know, gratifying. But in this situation, I think just playing the mom in it, it just wasn\u2019t enough for me. And I felt like I could\u2019ve been doing other things during my day.\u201d<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fran Drescher is remembered fondly for portraying Fran Fine on the CBS sitcom The Nanny, and although she…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":476829,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[88,49908,220581,92],"class_list":["post-476828","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-fran-drescher","tag-the-nanny","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476828","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=476828"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476828\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/476829"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=476828"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=476828"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=476828"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
