As a child of the 90s she truly is treasure in my eyes.
same... Clarissa was my childhood...
Well said....quite a gal for sure. All those shows sweet memories to me
I so agree with you there mate as a fellow 90s kid myself
She's a Republican
I met Melissa at Wet "n" Wild in 1992, in Orlando, Fl. We were in line, waiting to go on a water slide. I recognized her and asked her if she was "Clarissa" and she was so sweet. She said, "yes." I couldn't believe it. I was standing next to her in a line... She answered all my questions about her show. She seemed just as excited to meet me and my cousin, as we were to meet her. Congratulations on a great life, Melissa. :)
That’s super awesome!!! She certainly seems like a down to earth woman too outside of her fame and notoriety!👏🏽🙂☺️👏🏽
Is it true she has a glass eye?
Wet n wild!!! RIP
@@peterl6095, she was supposedly born with a lazy eye and lack of teeth. She then had corrective surgeries in '93.
This is one of the most fire comments I’ve ever read on the internet 🙌
Can we talk about how refreshing to see an interviewer that is not only prepared but also listens.
excuse me? shes probably the worst interviewer ever!!!
She is excellent
It's because she's a fan, then you tend to listen as much as possible.
She’s too attractive
Thank You
It’s fabulous to see a former child star be so grounded and positive.
I love her! Very different to other “fancy/sexy” actresses
If I recall correctly, she actually did have a drug problem but was able to be set free from it
@@mechadoggy, no that wasn’t her, you might be confusing her with Jodie Sweetin who played Stephanie on Full House because she did have a big drug problem.
@@Jmmoffa No, I’m not. Melissa Joan Hart herself confesses about her past drug use in her memoir, Melissa Explains It All, in which she talks about how she used to do Ecstasy, weed, and even mushrooms. www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2432393/Melissa-Joan-Hart-reveals-secret-history-drugs-new-tell-memoir.html
@@mechadoggy, you’re still wrong, it’s says experimented with “recreational drugs” not had “drug problem” as you claimed. I know a lot of people that experimented with recreational drugs when they were younger and they never had drug problems. You also need a better source the British tabloid The Daily Mail is considered by most people as unreliable and most their stories are completely false. I read a quote by British man that said “If the Daily Mail says something is true then it’s safe to assume it’s untrue”.

I’m 36 and I still watch Sabrina on a regular basis when I need the warm and fuzzies ❤️
Same!!
38, still do. Every so often I get a text from my 35 year old sibling watching sabrina too. She will text me something that made her laugh.
where can i watch sabrina??? :)
@@rabbitlissa Hulu and I believe prime video has it too.
Me too
Melissa Joan Hart has always been such a positive, grounded and likeable person. 😊👍👍💗🌺🌞
I agree, I love her since Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and Clarissa Explains It All.
@shaniqua johnson So what...you little brat!
Isn’t she homophobic ?
@@isabellind1292 you are probably a capitol raider
@@JeBusInYoutbe Good thing you didn't say "rioters"...Kamala would have gone to twitter to raise money to bail em out of jail...yee haw!😊😊
Much props to Melissa's mom. Very few parent-managers can navigate their offsprings careers successfully without family conflict. Kudos to Melissa's mom for making her the 90s icon we know and love.
I like how she goes a little deeper to other people career instead Of her own, she talks about the writers and how they went to succeeded to other shows. She very humble and talented.
MELISSA WAS THE ICONIC 90'S 00'S GIRL
MJH is truly iconic. Her comedic timing is/was everything. You can’t teach that.
Thank you for mentioning her comedic timing, it's soo underrated and i don't know many actresses who have it, MJH, Raven Symone and Fran Dresher are some to name a few
Absolutely agree
Wow her mom is a real genius. I watched Melissa from commercials to Clarissa then Sabrina. Literally grew up with her on my TV, and it warms my heart to finally know that was because of her mom who knew that we would follow her. So smart!
I got the great privilege of working with Melissa on a charity event in the early 2000s and she was so nice and genuine. She made a point of learning each of our names (there were about 15 of us). She was the opposite of the stereotype 😁
It's great to hear how great of a person she is. Shes awesome.
My god can we just appreciate the conversation and the questions. Finally some substance and not just about her looks. I love both of their energies and Melissa’s outlooks. I wish the best for her and her family. ❤️❤️
90’s to me is melissa joan hart, fran drescher and the spice girls
To me it's Melissa Joan Hart shows, grunge music (Sublime, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins etc) that my brothers listened to, then the return of bubblegum pop like Hanson and the various boybands (Nsync, Backstreet Boys, 98 degrees etc) that my teenage self listened to.
I so totally agree!
artchic528 melissa joan hart, britney spears, sarah michelle gellar & the spice girls for me💕 love and miss the 90s!
@@ashleighbutler2370 yesss girl power ✌️💗
indeed.....also....The Simpsons... and Seinfeld
Cannot imagine my childhood and teenage years without Melissa Joan-Hart ❤️❤️
Mine either
As a boy who often watched Nickelodeon every single day, with Clarissa being one of my favorite shows, neither could I. 💚💗💚💗💚
I love her. She is so intelligent.
Shut up with your tick.
Melissa is one of the most talented and understated people in the industry. So humble. She is exactly as you would hope her to be and more which is so rare. Well done ET for spotlighting her. Really and truly she needs a good 2hr special. I'd love to see that (also BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL SABRINA✨)
Melissa's honesty about her marriage and her advise is so pure 🥺
Melissa was destined to be on television and to run the 90’s - 2000’s tv sitcoms
One of the best interviews I've ever seen 🥰 Melissa is so with it. You can tell she's so passionate about the history of her work. Rachel kept up with everything and asked all the right questions.
I can totally see why Melissa creates good chemistry. Her personality is really chill and down to earth, like her with this interviewer it’s effortlessly flowing conversation.
For me, Melissa Joan Hart's take on Sabrina the Teenage Witch will always be the best. The serious, dramatic, and much darker tone the new version has is just not doing it for me. I need the family friendly lightheartedness and comedic timing that Melissa, Beth and Caroline brought to Sabrina, Zelda and Hilda respectively. Also, Salem Saberhagen. His sarcastic, dry wit was brought perfectly to life by Nick Bakay. I can't imagine the character with any other voice. I just can't.
I love the new darker sabrina, i knew its the same character but different comics
Kiernan does a great job playing sabrina while melissa is totally iconic, i love both the og and the CAOS version of hilda and zelda.
Agree 100% i tired watching the new version but it got way too dark for me. I stopped watching it as soon as they were talking about the devil. I was like i am out
@@BLit11 Yep, that was me, I've dipped after that, just feels totally different since I've grown up with the original, I dunno why they bring demonic stuff, they could do dark things without demonic stuff, so yeah
I agree I tried the new Sabrina and I tried again and again and nothings come close to this Sabrina ^^
Melissa is so iconic, a legend👑 I love the interviewer, she was so refreshing back when interviewers held your attention❤️
She's aging really well. She was one of my CHC (childhood crush 😍)
I love how this interview gave her plenty of room to speak. Not just sound bites. I’ve been a fan of hers in my childhood and now I understand why. She has always had a great head on her shoulders and for a young girl, she played interesting, smart, unique roles.
Ive always liked Melissa she always came off as a very down to earth person like she isnt full of herself she is very honest and real I like her mind set. Fan of Clarissa and I loved Sabrina the Teenage Witch. She seems very happy I like to see people do well especially people I have been a fan of their works.
Mellissa seems VERY smart, praying for your marriage through any hardships. What a beautiful family!!!
I just love her. She’s so grounded and talented. Absolutely love that she’s stayed true to herself and I love a real natural blonde.
This was a really good interview. She’s so grounded and comes off very balanced. Good for her! And good job interviewer as well.🥂
Ahh I can’t get over how amazing Melissa was as Clarissa and Sabrina. I just can’t vision the shows with anyone else playing those roles. Both of those shows helped me through tough teen years and if I were to ever meet her person I’d just say thanks!
I think it was very wise of her to speak of marriage like that given that she still wants to be a great example for other people, specially those close to her, it is important to not to perpetuate a string of false expectation on things... most things in life have its ups and downs, and hearing that from someone with such high exposure is appreciated and heartwarming... I'm thankful for those down to earth people in the world, not just "the industry".
She literally was what Molly Ringwald was in the 80s.
She still looks so beautiful 😍😍😍
Damn right she is!
Yes and so natural. She is very pretty
She's one of my childhood heroes! I'm so glad life has treated her well!
Huge fan of hers from the beginning of her career till now!
I LOVE HER !! I wish they would re-do Sabrina or Clarissa as an adult
they did clarissa as an adult in a pilot it failed but its no youtube
It was really unfortunate that she didn't have a cameo in the final season of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, hell considering her necklace is a key it would be fitting since they worship Hecate this time around.
Didn’t you hear. The First Sabrina stepped out of line and got sent to the Green Room.
That would be too clever for the writing hacks on the new show. All they care about is ticking social political boxes. Oh and skepta is no where as likeable
Melissa didn’t do a cameo but Aunt Zelda and Hilda did a cameo so that was really cool
I was just watching it last night ! Sabrina we needed you there that would have been dope
@@deanrobertrobert167 the show is really bad
She sounds like the old school type of mom, smart and classy and direct!
I love her. I miss all the 90s shows. It was so positive in every way and motivating and so much fun to watch.
I grew up watching Sabrina, as well as the animated series. Never missed an episode! Whenever it came on tv, I rushed to it! Melissa & Joey is probably my favorite now. Just watching this interview, my goodness she’s superwoman! and so real and open! She doesn’t act as though she has it all together.
For some people, she could sound Cocky in this but I feel back in the 90's the media didn't highlight female achievements in the field, so is kinda nice to hear so many firsts in her career , Sabrina was soo good, love the diversity in the cast , glad to grow up with nickelodeon shows
She comes across as being really grounded and intelligent. Great energy. ✨
I had no idea she lives in Nashville! She has such a beautiful energy, I’m so happy for her success.
I love how down to Earth Melissa is. I grew up watching Sabrina with my Dad in the '90s and she is always full of positive vibes (on and off the screen). I would love to have the honor of meeting her and sharing a positive moment. God bless Melissa and family. 😊
She was the face of the 90's for me. Also I hope she does another season of No Good Nick. That show is also great!
The interviewer was amazing. You can tell she was exited to Hear Melissa's response. I felt like i was right there with them. Excellent job a lot of people should learn from this interviewer.
i'm so happy Sabrina the Teenage Witch is on Hulu ...I have been binge watching since December :)
Its sooo good!
Havent seen her since Sabrina, i looved that show. I like how transparent she is in this interview
Her mother bought the rights to Sabrina for $1😱
I assume that means they had to pay her to make the new show. I hope she bought the rights to many other archi comics and other comics because she would make bank now on them, so popular
What you mean?
Ciera Howell no it's a comic book the writer owns the rights
@Cliques no. There are two versions of sabrina comic books. The first/original version, sabrina the teenage witch, which came out decades before the chilling adventures version, is very similar to the 90s show. The 2nd version, chilling adventures comics, is obviously more like the netflix show.
@Cliques in fact, chilling adventures of sabrina the comic book didn't even come out until sometime after 2010
I love that she is so authentic and real here. She is very inspiring and talks great successes but she doesn't just superficially list them but actually talks about what her life as an actress, director, mother looks like. It's really interesting, I wish more famous people would talk about their careers in such an honest way.
she didnt mention that Ryan Reynolds was playing Seth in that Sabrina Movie before it was series 4:55
I met Barney Cohen the creator of SABRINA (book and movie) in L.A. and he told me Melissa and Ryan would hang out at his house when they were filming the movie. It was cool to meet him and hear the story how a little book became a big show.
I love her and I miss all of those TV shows she was on.
I have a black cat named Salem because of Sabrina.😂
ME TOO!!! lol :)
I have a black cat named Sabrina. Lol
Me too!
Yep. We too. Ours got almost 20 years.
I love how much she talks about the crew and cast with her. Like sharing the shared experience that she had. I love it! She’s amazing if a person!
Even as an adult I love watching Sabrina ❤
Me too, was watching it during the holidays 😊
It’s kind of wild if her mom wasnt working as a career manager & she did such a terrific job. And they dont hate each other. See seems grounded.
Definitely not Lindsey Lohan and her parents.
I have always LOVE LOVE LOVED Melissa Joan Hart... Loved Clarissa and then had to follow her to Sabrina
I love her, she's been famous and had so much success yet she's so down to earth, normal and relatable.
Also Sabrina is an iconic show
She was so apart of my childhood & teenage years. Between Clarissa, on Nickelodeon and the incredible Sabrina The Teenage Witch.✨👑🔥 Which, I am still watching love this gorgeous woman and the interviewer is so great at her job and questions too, Melissa & Joey was also a fantastic series!💖
Clarissa explains it all was my favorite show of all time!! I loved Sabrina too! She was the best actress of the 90’s!!
I loved these shows too.
Love her realness about marriage and their commitment ♥️ so refreshing!
I love Melissa Joan Hart! What an icon, and really someone to look up to. Tried, and true. Such a fan, my whole life 💗
I love her! She's been in show business her whole life, but she seems so unspoiled and down-to-earth. I had no idea she was directing so much now. And I share her name!
I like that she looks so natural! no surgeries at all
AMEN....
Ah fack... I feel so old. There’s so much nostalgia! I miss the 90’s 😩
Ah the golden age
I loved Sabrina and Clarissa. It’s good to see she’s still on tv with Mel and Joey. Hi from the UK! 🇬🇧
The OG Sabrina will always be my fav. For some reason the new one is just too demonic for me this is coming from someone who loves Supernatural.
FOREAAAL
Because they to get as close to the comics but tbh the comics are even more dark
It was for me too.
@@enders6109 I was fine w/ season one. But, season 2 was not it. I couldn’t even finish the first ep 😅😅.
Exactly the same here!!
The interviewer definitely spaced out a few times lmao!!!
This was so wholesome and she is very real. This was all around a great interview, felt very professional but also like two friends catching up.
Melissa and Joey was so fun! Miss that show so much :/
I love Melissa Joan Hart!! She was so motivating and inspiring for me growing up!
I just love MJH! She just seems so real and down to earth. I can definately relate to her as a mom with 3 kids; I have 3 girls and life just gets crazy, but you have to find time to spend with your family because they are important and will be there for you all the time.
Her mom is amazing. Thanks for everything!
She is the best! As a child of the 90's I grew up watching her in all the movies and shows she did!!! She was always a good one and didn't spiral out like most child stars, good for her!
So genuine that she would open up about her marriage and that it’s not perfect, I wish this was more open knowledge - I thought marriages were perfect and the older I get, the more I realize that they take a lot of work.
Agreed. Especially with famous people. they often "look" perfect. In reality thought marriage is SO much work. Its really easy to walk away when it gets hard, but so much harder (and more rewarding) to put in the work.
Clarissa Explains it all, Sabrina, and Melissa and Joey, all gems
Wow this was such a great interview. I’ve become an even bigger fan of hers now!
such an insightful interview. I really appreciate her honesty about showbusiness and her career.
This insight into her career is so amazing and makes me think of my own journey through life, education and career
Wow, I got so much out of this interview. The description of working on TV shows with and without audiences is something I never thought about. I'm interested in TV work so this was so helpful. LOVE MJH!
Omg! I love her so much and the best role model I had growing up
She has a natural personality everybody loves.
Melissa is so humble. Love her
I love Melissa Joan heart in Sabrina the teenage witch . She is amazing as a 90s kid it was my favorite tv show thank you so much.
What a down to earth and honest conversation - thank you Melissa 🙏🏾
She’s such a great actress !!!! Love everything she does !
I’m 36 years old Man i grew up watching her I miss Nickelodeon in the 90’s🥺
I grew up with Sabrina and it really changed my childhood to the best. Seing her is bringing so much amazing memories with my mom because we always watched it together ❤
I loved clarissa explains it all.i too was about 6 and 7 tuned in... a true 90s baby..
Mellisa blazed the trail for many shows , including many of the shows on Disney channel and Nickelodeon today, ...the ravens, the mileys, selena gomez, ariana grande's of the world really only exist she because of Mellisa joan Hart❤
I've always just adored her and still do! This interviewer is absolutely wonderful too. She's super engaged in the convo and really listened.
Such class!!! She’s always been one of my fav celebs from the 90s
Sabrina and TGIF in general was everything. It’s hard to think that TV could get people to stay home on Friday nights now, haha.
Unless it is a cable or streaming show your right. Fridays are more for going out now than staying in.
Really nice interview and Melissa Joan Hart is amazing!
"When times are tough people want something ..good to watch" ...the reason I'm rewatching Sabrina in lockdown! :D
Awe Clarissa!!
Oh come on, no questions on Drive Me Crazy? that movie was huge in the 90s
it wasn't "huge", it was panned to hell, and was known as a tremendous flop. she's smart not to talk about it.
@@DianaDiana-dc4ps Not a flop at all, she talks about it everywhere. And she wasn't asked about it here, it wasn't her decision not to mention it.
@@lmatt88 Sweetie, it was what the industry sees as a "flop". it didn't generate even half of what it was expected to at the box office. that is a FLOP. that's probably why she wasnt asked about it. it wasn't and still isn't, considered one of her better pieces of work. are you just an idiot?
@@DianaDiana-dc4ps we get it, it drives you crazy (wink, wink), you can move on now.
@@leilacabral9597 huh? you ok?
She is so raw and real! I love it!
always liked her! Please get Danielle Fishel next!
Where was I? I didn’t know Melissa is the director of Young Sheldon!! Melissa is so cool, intelligent, and talented!
I hope she has another big hit when she's ready. She's so talented and clearly a good person.
Gotta agree Melissa and Joey is great and I can see why it would be her favorite.
