In a recent appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show, Amy Yasbeck regaled the audience with stories from her first acting job and discussed her latest sitcom, “Life on a Stick.” The conversation was lively and filled with laughter as Ellen and Amy reminisced about their past experiences together.
Ellen couldn’t help but point out a photo of Amy when she was six years old, with perfectly straightened hair. Amy explained that it was her first foray into show business, and she never looked back. She jokingly mentioned that she’s been straightening her hair ever since.
Amy’s new show, “Life on a Stick,” was the topic of discussion. When Ellen asked about the meaning behind the title, Amy admitted she wasn’t quite sure. However, she humorously added that the word “stick” always has a comedic ring to it, thanks to the satisfying “k” sound.
The conversation took a hilarious turn when Ellen brought up a giant pillow with John’s face on it from Amy’s previous sitcom. Apparently, he played a love and life coach guru, and everyone on set had to purchase the pillows as a tribute. It seems John’s character left quite an impression on everyone, including Amy.
As the conversation steered towards family, Amy shared that her daughter Stella is now six and a half years old. Ellen couldn’t help but remark on how Amy carries her daughter as if she were a ventriloquist’s dummy. The two bantered about Amy’s ability to drink water and hold Stella simultaneously, showing off the humorous side of their friendship.
Amy playfully revealed that her daughter used to be greasy like a “dropper” when she was a little baby. She even lost the handle that Stella used to have. With a mix of awe and comic relief, Amy emphasized how quickly her daughter has grown and can now walk at her age.
As the segment came to a close, Amy invited everyone to tune in to “Life on a Stick” on Wednesday nights at 8:30 on Fox. The witty banter between Ellen and Amy made it clear that Amy’s acting career has come a long way since her six-year-old self stepped foot into show business.
It’s always refreshing to see celebrities like Amy Yasbeck bring laughter to our screens.
