Father and Wife Explain that Leah “Played Herself” as an Actor

TRANSCRIPT:

DANA: Every part Leah got, she always played herself.

GEORGE: Yeah.

DANA: So, that’s why I say I don’t think she has any talent, because I don’t recall her playing anything outside of who she really is.

GEORGE: Well, she made a mob movie. But, never heard of it. But that’s about all she did. And, as far as like, like—

DANA: Yeah, she had a—she had a hit show. [The King of Queens]

GEORGE: Yeah, yeah, one, yeah.

DANA: And nobody picked you up to do a movie?

GEORGE: Yeah, I mean—

DANA: But—but you have all—but you’re “so talented.” It just doesn’t make sense.

GEORGE: Yeah. If you’re so talented—

DANA: If you’re so talented, why?

GEORGE: Why? Why don’t you—

DANA: What was your last job?

GEORGE: —get a movie part?

DANA: Yeah.

GEORGE: Why won’t you—

DANA: You see how everything comes full circle? She’s back with Kevin James again. Because she’s going to play, probably, the same part she played.

GEORGE: Yeah, she’s a female cop in this picture and in this—in this—Leah’s going to play a female cop in this show [Kevin Can Wait]. And the reality of it is, if you really want to, you know, break it down: How do you go from a retired cop to now an undercover cop? You know, with your old partner? Didn’t you two do stuff back in the day that they know who you are?

DANA: And how tasteless is that, that Kevin’s TV wife got killed off? [Kevin’s costar] I mean, that is horrible. That’s so tasteless.
