Amy Brenneman You Might Know Her From

Well throw us on a Smucker’s jar and have ol’ Willard Scott salute us because we’re 100! We are celebrating our 100th episode with actress and producer Amy Brenneman. You Might Know Her From You Might Know Her From The Leftovers, Private Practice, Heat, Fear, Daylight, Things You Can Tell Just By Looking at Her, NYPD Blue, and Judging Amy. Amy talked to us about signing up for The Leftovers with no dialogue, having a baby ripped out of her on the Grey’s Anatomy spin-off Private Practice, and, of course, creating and starring in our personal favorite, Judging Amy. We got scoop on why Amy and Bruce never got together, why Vincent left then came back, and all the delicious intel about the legendary Tyne Daly money can buy. Plus, stories from the sets of Heat and Fear and Anne gets all her questions about Daylight answered. It’s a big day folks and we couldn’t have done it without you. Salud!
