She described her recurring role in the hit dramedy series thirtysomethingand her co-starring roles in the short-lived series Room for Two(opposite Linda Lavin, who mentored her) and Women of the House. She spoke in great detail about the role and series for which she is most associated, Debra Barone on Everybody Loves Raymond. She chronicled her work on the series from her audition to shooting the series finale (delayed when she contracted laryngitis). She described the series shooting schedule; working with series directors Gary Halvorson and Will MacKenzie; and how her real-life pregnancies were covered up on the show. She also noted some of the moments of the show that garnered the biggest laughs including: Debras desperate attempts to get a turkey in the oven, Raymond trying lift Debra onto the refrigerator in a moment of glee and slamming her into it, and Debra dropping ice cream on Raymonds lap (eliciting a minute and a half laugh).
