Thought this was a fun tidbit:
LEWIS: Yes. I am a singer, and they wanted me to participate in the talent show. And Mike McMahan and the producers know that I’m a singer. And they asked, “Dawnn, would you want to sing a song? I don’t know if we can get licensing for it, but you can sing. You have such a beautiful voice.”
I said, “I’ll tell you what. Let’s not do any of that, and let me just be goofy and not be able to sing.” So I just started scatting really badly. And they were on the floor in the booth. So then they just started writing it in; scat competitions and all these kinds of things.
That was a lot of fun. That was one of those opportunities where the creative team just dropped the ball in our lap and said, “Go ahead and play,” and it ended up on the screen.
Feel free to post any that I missed in the comments.
