Last year, you must have been nervous over whether Happy Endings would come back, but it feels like this year, people are really responding to it.
I think so too. Last year, did I think the show would come back? Fuck no! I thought, This is over, and I chopped all my hair off. I was like, Forget it, I'm done, and I started talking to my agents and manager and saying, "All right, let's get those pilots!" We didn't get any publicity, really, and this year … well, not to be a jerk, but they're still not doing a lot. I mean, would it kill them to put a billboard up? But the network has gotten behind it a little bit more, I think, and also the word of mouth is big, because people really like this show.
I guess the upside there is that when people do catch onto the show, they feel something very proprietary, like they discovered it on their own.
No, it's true. People feel like it's underground, like, "Oh, I watch Happy Endings, and it's not mainstream." Although it's on ABC! [Laughs.]
It will crush some of our readers to know that you are not actually spending Valentine's Day with Damon Wayans Jr. Since the two of you are so convincing as a married couple on the show, do you ever find that people think you're together in real life?
Yes. Oh my God, yes. I was e-mailed some comments thread where somebody wrote about how they had to Google us to see if we were together. It’s so funny because my husband actually was like, "So, people think you’re together." But he’s funny. My husband’s, like, the biggest supporter of my fake marriage to Damon.
