“You know, unfortunately divorce it happens in Kansas as much as it does in Hollywood. And, you know, women having to start over at 40, you know, for the first time in their life having to find a career and being a single parent and having to date.

So I would defend the fact that there are, you know, there are other reasons to watch than just to get a laugh.”
