Something Wilder (1994–1995)
5/10
Marla Maples as main guest
13 October 2010
I remember this show, because I was the only other guest star. I was watching Ivanka Trump on TV today and wondering if it was her who was being held by her nanny while we taped. But it was Marla Maples' baby. Marla played a dish with whom Gene was forced to share a sleeping bag on a campout, as best I can recall. I had a small gag as a handyman repairing something up high in Gene's house-revealing a ghastly "plumber's crack" as he watched me fix it. I was hired by Barnett Kellman, who both created and directed the series. I had worked for him many times on "Murphy Brown". I remember chatting with Barnett and Gene about his co-star in "Woman in Red", as she had hung out with us during the filming of another comedy, and I thought she was quite beautiful. They opined what a mistake she had made in marrying Steven Seagal (the martial arts star). Gene was a compassionate and polite co-worker. He had remarried after Gilda's untimely passing and was doing well-although the weight of carrying a sitcom weighed heavily upon his shoulders. I miss seeing his wonderful offbeat humor.
