You Might Know Her From

Debra Wilson


Listen Later

You get an interview, YOU get an interview, and YOU GET AN INTERVIEW! This week, the brilliant impressionist and comedian Debra Wilson sits down with us. You Might Know Her From Mad TV, Scary Movie 4, Dead 7, Over the Hedge, The Christmas Chronicles, Avatar, and as the voice of Daisy Duck. Debra gave us all the intel on working on late night sketch mainstay MadTV, including singing opposite herself, hitting Mariah Carey whistle tones, and rubbing elbows with Oscar winners. Obviously, we got into Debra's iconic impressions of Whitney Houston and Oprah Winfrey and the unfortunate story behind her departure after eight seasons. All that, plus her instrumental role in developing the Na'vi people and Neytiri in Avatar, living in the "Debra Wilson metaverse" in video games, and acting opposite nearly every boy bander from the aughts. This one was quite a ride!
