While discussing the success of her show, she told The New York Times: “The responsibility that I ultimately feel to the audience is to entertain, maybe enlighten, and help you take your mind off messy things.

“We all have things that are messy going on in our life, that we would rather forget for a moment.

“I do, you do, we all do…and truthfully, being out in front of the people for those six weeks was just, ah, my God, such a Calgon bath…
