! Maggie Wheeler brought the smart, the empathetic, the funny, great inside stories, and even a song. A very inspiring one. Spectacular all. How has Maggie spent her COVID staycation? In service, as she has been for 17 years as the creator/director of Golden Bridge Choir, and now, since the start of the pandemic, Together In Song, a worldwide choir of voices, where everyone is encouraged to create community and sing. We got the scoop on her break in Lorne Michaels’ The New Show, her hysterical audition to win the slot, Johnny Carson, her mom’s memorable note, Henry Jaglom building her first starring film role, casting her ex, an unknown David Duchovny, who, as a result, soon after shot to stardom, Ellen, a love fest, and what went south there, Suddenly Susan, also going south, damn those vivacious redheads, but which led to her being available for Friends, her one-off as Janice turning into a ten-year run–– where the voice came from, the Oh. My. God. and that laugh! Matthew Per
