From WWE to TNA/Impact Wrestling and all over the world, Gail Kim is widely regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of her generation.

From films like "22 Jump Street" to TV shows like "Greek" and "Ghosted", Amber Stevens West has always reveled in the funny, but her comedic heart always yearned for the thrill of performing on an old-school sitcom. After cutting her teeth on the critically-acclaimed "Carmichael Show", this second-generation star (Shadoe Stevens for the win, anyone?) is doing it all over again on CBS' "Happy Together". We chatted about playing Ice Cube's daughter, working with the Wayans, and what makes performing in front of a studio audience so special.
