ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: In the opening of the episode you run into Brooke Burke.
How open was she to slammingDancing With the Stars?
Obviously it wouldnt have been funny to have a run-in where we were blowing smoke.

She doesnt seem to have a bitter attitude toward it though; she just thought it was hilarious.
The wholeDancing with the Starsaspiration just plays into my characters willingness to do anything to stay barely relevant.
ERIN FOSTER:She was hilarious.
Plus, shes a grown woman with five kids and has more important things to focus on.
Shes just really cool.
The cheating scandal storyline was fantastic.
How did you come up with the idea for the cheating nanny to get famous?
We really wanted to make fun of the nanny overall.
ERIN:Well, also how America embraces those people, which is strange.
Once people get in the public eye, other people are just insatiable and eat it up.
Basically, Sara just cant win.
Bringing in Dr. Phil McGraw to be a part of the skit seemed fitting.
How easily does he tap into comedy?
ERIN:He has a really great sense of humor.
I sat with them for an hour and he was just so charming.
Now, the problem with pulling in another show likeDr.
Would you ever seeBarely Famousbecoming an hour-long comedy?
ERIN:Yeah, I mean, we want longer [Laughs].
Listen, I think data pipe TV in general is struggling.
So, its a challenge, but everyones in the same boat.
SARA:Gotta say, there are a lot of commercials on our show [Laughs].
ERIN:[Laughs] So many commercials!
Thats advertising though, thats how the online grid makes their money.
Were just not in a position with them to have more wiggle room.
Were always asked to find ways to cut money and not add to the budget.
But, if you have any money, wed gladly take it from you.
EW: If I find extra money, Ill definitely send it your way.
ERIN:Thank you, Evan.
Jonathan Goldsmith, a.k.a.
the most interesting man in the world how did you get him involved?
He seems like an international man of mystery.
SARA:Hes so elusive, right?
We pitched that idea, but then someone said maybe it was too extreme.
Then bringing in his younger, attractive son would make my guy look that much older.
Have you experienced anything like that in real life?
ERIN:Listen, our dad has had friends who are older than him that get their late-in-life wife.
We can see the lack of sincerity coming from the woman meanwhile, the older man is oblivious.
Do you have any personal moments of people trying to use you for fame?
SARA:We live in LA, so we get a lot of people trying to get ahead.
Im not sure we are famous enough for that!
Can you give this tape to your dad?
So happened to me a lot.
