Wendi McLendon-Covey – on her office job & why her parents hated ‘Reno 911!’

E 2026-03-03

'St. Denis Medical’ star Wendi McLendon-Covey joins the show. Over pepperoni pizza, Wendi tells me about getting paid pennies for her iconic role on ‘Reno 911,’ the office job she lowkey juggled with acting until booking ‘The Goldbergs,’ and how her husband never gave up on her – even when she almost gave up on herself. This episode was recorded at De La Nonna’s in Downtown L.A.’s Arts District.
