During her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, actress Linda Cardellini shared some exciting holiday stories and discussed the 25th anniversary of the hit show Freaks and Geeks. The interview was filled with laughter and nostalgia as Cardellini revealed some interesting facts and personal anecdotes.
As the conversation shifted towards the holiday season, Cardellini expressed her love for this time of year, especially since she now has a child. She shared that her family decorated their home early, before Thanksgiving, which may be controversial for some people. However, Cardellini and her family decided to embrace the holiday spirit and decorated their house in preparation for the festive season.
One of the highlights of their holiday decorations was a 9-foot outdoor snowman that Cardellini spotted at Costco. She was instantly drawn to it, but her husband was hesitant because they had limited storage space. Despite this, Cardellini’s husband surprised her with the snowman the following day, much to her delight. The enormous snowman is now displayed inside their home and serves as a unique and eye-catching decoration in their entryway.
The conversation then shifted to the 25th anniversary of the beloved show Freaks and Geeks. Cardellini, who played one of the show’s main characters, expressed her gratitude for being a part of such a memorable project. She reminisced about the fun she had on set, and Fallon shared a photo of her alongside her co-stars from the show. Cardellini marveled at how much she and her friend Sarah’s daughters resembled them in the picture, realizing just how much time has passed since the show’s airing.
Cardellini also shared an interesting anecdote about the moment she found out that Freaks and Geeks had been canceled. She was on her way to appear on David Letterman’s show when she received the unfortunate news. However, she still went on to make her appearance, with Letterman himself expressing sympathy about the show’s cancellation. The interview with Letterman became a bittersweet moment for Cardellini, as she tried to process the news while still enjoying the opportunity.
As the interview came to a close, Cardellini discussed her latest project, a Netflix series called No Good Deed. The show follows a couple, portrayed by Ray Romano and Lisa Kudrow, as they try to sell their cherished home. With a mix of dark humor, secrets, and twists, the show promises to be a captivating watch.
