![]() In the editing room, all that stuff’s going to be cut. WMC: My least favorite moments are when everybody’s talking at once because everybody wants to get their little joke in or get screen time, but that’s not how improv works. Do you have a favorite or a least favorite unexpected moment that took place during filming? I think also she’s come to terms with, “Yeah, I’m a cop and this is what I’m doing now.” Before I felt she always had one foot out the door and now maybe she does, but she just doesn’t know where she would go if she didn’t have these idiots around her all the time.ĪK: With the improvisational nature of the show, I imagine there were many unexpected moments throughout the years. Maybe she’s still into the Wicca, light Kitchen Witchery. It’s got to be more of an emotional connection. She still loves carnal pleasures, but maybe she likes staying in more a little bit.

This interview has been condensed for clarity and length.Īvery Kaplan: In some ways, Deputy Clementine Johnson is extremely resistant to change. Geek Girl Authority caught up with McLendon-Covey over Zoom to ask all about making Reno 911! Defundedand Reno 911!: The Hunt for QAnon, how voice acting compares with live-action work, and about her work as (assistant) editor of an academic journal of social work for over a decade! You may recognize the multitalented Wendi McLendon-Covey from any number of her large and small screen projects, including Bridesmaids or The Goldbergs, but one project she’s worked on falls into both these categories: Reno 911!
