WENDI MCLENDON-COVEY: Finding Comedic Gold, Fighting for Bridesmaids & Ups and Downs on Goldbergs

Wendi McLendon-Covey (The Goldbergs, St. Denis Medical) joins us this week for a fun and candid conversation about her experience in this industry and the insatiable workaholic tendencies that have contributed to her success when her back was against the wall. Wendi shares the joy of working on the improv fueled Reno 911! and how she was about to quit acting before landing the audition. We also talk about how she fought to land her hilarious role on Bridesmaids, the ups and downs during her decade on The Goldbergs, and the worst part of performing improv.
