    I ADORE Iliza, and despite never having met her, or knowing her personally, I feel so excited her her and her husband with their child. Her brand of humor has always made me double over with laughter due to her very apt observations on how women relate and talk to one another. Her last Netflix special on her wedding and prep work that brides go to extreme lengths to perform were hilarious (that whole sketch on bachelorette parties as told from a hospitality/restauranteur perspective was bang on). She's someone that I wish I could have as a friend, and I couldn't be happier for her. Also, Ru is a fun host - this was a fun interview to watch.

    It took me 30 years of marriage to realize that the question “what would you like to eat today”, is an impossible question to answer. Asking someone to decide from all the possibilities of foods they can choose from right now seems really ridiculous. My life changed when it occurred to me that asking people to choose from two or three options is a way to go.

Can’t recall that dating reality TV gig she had, but that was so hilariously sad & brilliant thanks to the wisecracks. [Then a taxi quiz show came on right after, that was also very smart. So naturally, they both had to go in favor of Dumbness>>American Style.]

Hopefully, with the birth of a child she can branch out to something less troublesome
