What are some of the highlights fans can expect from the new season?
A lot more funny content, as usual.
I’m doing it with three very funny people, very charming people.
It really makes it, I have to say, probably the funnest job I’ve ever had.
I guess we probably should, but we haven’t.
I was always a fan of “The Office” and had never met Angela.
And Kel, I had never met through all these years.
My daughter had seen his movie.
But [Kel is] a delight.
What a gentleman, what a sweetheart, inside and out.
The whole cast [was a delight].
Tim [Chantarangsu was] totally new [to me].
I didn’t know anything about him, and we probably clicked the fastest.
I adore that guy.
He is hilarious, and he truly makes me laugh with anything that comes out of his mouth.
What’s it been like filming these new episodes?
Do you spend a lot of time laughing together?
Yes, very much.
We usually [shoot] three to four episodes a day.
[We tell] stories that might relate to the clips.
That’s what it’s all about.
It’s really quite fun.
Are there any areas you’d like to see it expand into?
And can you see yourself being a part of it for a long time to come?
My husband was a huge fan of “Ridiculousness” back in the day.
… My daughter loved it.
My daughter loves the show.
What’s it been like playing such an iconic character for such a long time?
It was one of the very first roles that I had done.
That’s a big deal for a 16-year-old.
I experienced a lot of crazy things, a lot of cool things.
I have nothing but fond memories of back then.
Do you think we might see you as Kelly again, in the future?
Well, I don’t know.
They did two seasons of the show.
They did not pick up the show anymore.
What was it like bouncing from one huge teen show to another?
It was definitely very different.
“Saved by the Bell” was a half-hour sitcom.
[That’s] what they called it.
I would part-time do school and part-time do the show.
The actual hours of work were much longer and much harder.
But again, super fun.
But most of the cast was very open and welcoming.
Some weren’t as much.
But that all turned around and got much better towards the end of the first season.
Then I finished off all those years with them, and it was great.
You’ve had an incredible career so far.
You’ve done so much.
Is there anything you haven’t done yet that you’d still like to?
I’m always looking for something different in my routine.
I like to work and I love working with people.
I love being an actor.
I just love it.
I don’t think I could ever give it up.
That’s so hard.
You’re going over 30 years of different stuff.
That’s a super hard one.
I’m still very close with a lot of them.
You mentioned before that your kids are fans of “Deliciousness.”
Do they watch any of your other shows?
My son, not so much because he’s so young still.
He just turned seven.
But my daughter loves “Deliciousness.”
[She] has watched every single episode.
She’s also completely watched, from beginning to end, “Saved by the Bell.”
She’s watching all of those episodes.
She’s not ready for “90210” yet.
She probably needs to be a little bit older, but she’s getting close.
How does she feel watching you on-screen?
Is it strange for her, or does she enjoy it?
I don’t know.
She hasn’t really said.
She’s grown up having that idea of what Mom and Dad do for a living.
[For] some of these shows, she’s actually been on set with me.
She’s very much a part of it.
My son, not as much because he came so much later.
There’s so many.
Again, a hard question.
The list is probably huge.
There’s so many people that I admire and would love to get the chance to work with.
And that’s not even just actors; that’s also directors or writers.
There’s so many.
And on the other side of it, working with chefs that I love.
I feel like I’m still young, that I should have a big list still.
I don’t want to pigeonhole myself with just one or two.
I’m 48, and I don’t see hopefully any of this ending anytime soon.
I really do enjoy working in all these fields.
Even the food field that I’ve recently got into in the last 10 months, I’ve enjoyed.
I just finished my second cookbook, which will be out next fall.
It’s been a really nice side career that I’ve enjoyed making a bigger part of my career.
Is there anything else you want us to know about “Deliciousness” before you go?
It’s one of those really fun jobs.
