We’re lucky that her parents get the spirit of the show and that we’re not trying to be gratuitous in any way. We really try to shoot her out of things, so we get her part and we remove her from set so she’s not party to that stuff. Olive’s parents are really cool in that it rings true to them, and they’re like, “These are conversations we’re having.” We try to be as respectful as we can. We never try to give her anything gratuitous to say, or just for a shock.īut with the pubic hair, this was a real, almost word-for-word conversation that I had with my daughter a while back. We want you to be aware of everything.” There were a couple lines and stuff they had some issues with. It’s very, “We’re not gonna give you something and throw something at you at the last minute. Is it tricky shooting those scene with a child actor?Īhead of time, Joey Slamon, who’s my co-showrunner, she and I give Olive parents all the scripts ahead of time. In the first episode, she really grills you about pubic hair. He even grew the mustache for us.Ī lot of the humor this season is about Amelia getting a little bit older, where she’s naturally very curious about things she reads or overhears.
He embodied exactly what we would have imagined for this character. Castellotti, played by Brian Stepanek, who was so perfect.
He wears a pleated suit, yeah, always a brown-ish suit. You’re almost describing the costume for another character we’re introduced to this season, Amelia’s very stern-looking kindergarten teacher. To me, the surf tank tops - I mean, my husband’s 40, you know what I mean? It’s not the age to just suddenly start with the tank tops. We’ll see.ĭo you have any other pet peeves about what your husband wears, or just men’s clothing generally? I, personally, can’t stand flip-flops. It may get referred to throughout the season. There’s something about it that I think made me laugh and it was just a little slice of life. He was like, “Oh my God, come on.” It just was this funny bit. I was like, “Oh, what’d you get?” He pulls it out and I was like, “You bought a tank top? Who are we now? We’re people with male tank tops? This doesn’t seem like something that we should discuss as a family?” He came out and he had something in a bag. We were on vacation in La Jolla, and he went into a store and I went into another store with our daughter. I wanted something that really, to me, just represented what the show was and I really wanted it to be something with Andrea and Mike, something that wasn’t necessarily plot-driven. Why did that feel like the best way to open the season? This season starts with a rather controversial tank top: Your character Andrea is in the kitchen working when Mike just sort of appears in this thing, and she’s so disgusted with it. Ahead of that episode’s premiere, Savage spoke to Vulture about her biggest pet peeve when it comes to men’s clothing, navigating the show’s humor with a young child actor, and her priorities for I’m Sorry’s new season. Of course, Savage is still happy to mine her marriage for gags at her husband’s expense, as evidenced by one of the jokes in I’m Sorry’s second season debut. I’m like, ‘You come up smelling like roses, my friend.’” “As far as how our marriage looks on the show, he’s portrayed in an extremely lovely way. I’m not trying to out anyone, or I’m not like, ‘Listen, this is my experience and you can all go suck it!’ That’s not my intention.”īesides, her husband it pretty open about it all, she says, and appreciates the show’s humor. “Then with my husband, I tell him what I’m thinking of doing on the show, and if there’s ever anything that he was uncomfortable with, then he wouldn’t want me to do it, I would not do it. “With my daughter, a lot of this stuff is from years ago, and I really wouldn’t do anything that now she does or says,” Savage told Vulture over the phone ahead of the new season’s premiere.
Savage says it’s as true as it seems, but that while her family doesn’t really have a safe word when it comes to material that she can’t use on I’m Sorry, she’d never use anything her family feels is too personal. It’s a credit to the writing that it all feels pulled directly Savage’s daily life. The first episode’s main plot involves Andrea trying to answer her young daughter’s many - and detailed - questions about her pubic hair. And in I’m Sorry’s second season, which debuts on TruTV tonight, there’s no shortage of similarly awkward scenarios.
