"Hi, I'm April!" We're jumping ahead in the series to recap April's debut episode! We're joined by the lovely and talented Greer Gammer (Awkward, Frasier) as we talk about where she was when the casting press release dropped, the high-pressure table read that kicked things off, and how a flub from Patricia Heaton helped her relax. We also get into her experience being labeled a nepo-baby, as she poignantly shares her perspective on it.
