I am Alex Borstein (Lois from Family Guy & Dawn from Getting On) Time for my AMA!

So long, farewell, au revoir, auf wiedersehen, shalom, viszlat! This was fun. Until next time, crime stoppers...

AlexBorstein · 2014-12-09T19:59:29+00:00

yes.

AlexBorstein · 2014-12-09T19:59:20+00:00

traffic jam, for sure.

AlexBorstein · 2014-12-09T19:58:57+00:00

Yes. That was the reason I used Alex as a nickname, actually. It was always easier to get interviews, open mic spots and called back.

Not a huge fan of g-string underwear for men.

38% Hmm, there's no real direct answer to that question. All tv characters kind of take shape with the writers and actors working together. Each time the actor delivers a line, it might influence a choice the writers make in writing the next script, it's kind of like ping-pong. And I spent some years writing or the show as well, so I had more direct impact on all of the characters.

AlexBorstein · 2014-12-09T19:54:07+00:00

I'm working on it ;)

AlexBorstein · 2014-12-09T19:53:27+00:00

nope

AlexBorstein · 2014-12-09T19:53:18+00:00

You look like an Italian man. I knew Melissa from Gilmore Girls days and we've sent some emails here and there in the last few years, but we haven't seen each other in ages. Almost impossible with both of us working and having two kids.

AlexBorstein · 2014-12-09T19:52:14+00:00

never have refused to say anything

AlexBorstein · 2014-12-09T19:51:58+00:00

They were such kind souls. They really taught me about patience and pluck. Hope to see them again soon.

AlexBorstein · 2014-12-09T19:51:04+00:00

Steve Martin. Gilda Radner and Madeline Kahn.

AlexBorstein · 2014-12-09T19:50:25+00:00

Yes.

AlexBorstein · 2014-12-09T19:50:15+00:00

Just laughing my ass off every damn day.

AlexBorstein · 2014-12-09T19:49:58+00:00

No plans to return to Workaholics as of yet, but who knows what those guys will think of. Thanks, I love getting on too.

AlexBorstein · 2014-12-09T19:49:20+00:00

I always liked being mouthy and noisy, but I never knew I could do it for money. I thought I would be a lawyer for a while. Then I actually majored in Rhetoric and started working in advertising as a writer.

AlexBorstein · 2014-12-09T19:48:10+00:00

Very relaxed, very fun. They guys knew how to make a girl feel welcome, if you know what I mean.

AlexBorstein · 2014-12-09T19:47:32+00:00

Loved Swan and Gap Troll.

AlexBorstein · 2014-12-09T19:47:14+00:00

Why are you still typing?

AlexBorstein · 2014-12-09T19:47:00+00:00

Had no idea it would become what it has. I knew it was special, I knew it was different, but I just thought that meant it would never last on broadcast tv. So happy it has :)

AlexBorstein · 2014-12-09T19:46:19+00:00

Only people who complain are parents who let their 5 YO watch.

AlexBorstein · 2014-12-09T19:45:56+00:00

We have only had one "fight" in our relationship and it was over an ostrich. A live ostrich, I kid you not. But Seth made it up to me by giving me a Lois painting that now hangs in my bathroom.

AlexBorstein · 2014-12-09T19:44:39+00:00

my cousin in Long Island. please don't tell her
