‘The Nanny’ cast reuniting for a reading of the pilot episode
“The Nanny” is coming to your home!
OK, not literally … but in all the ways that count. The classic 1990s sitcom starring Fran Drescher is a cult favorite among millions of fans, all of whom are undoubtedly missing their favorite caretaker.
Well, wait no more: Drescher and her former co-stars will participate in a Zoom-based reading of the original pilot episode of the series, which originally aired Nov. 3, 1993.
“Laughter is the best medicine!” Drescher told Variety in a statement Tuesday. “So, in these challenging times, (show co-creator Peter Marc Jacobson) and I thought, wouldn’t it be great if we pulled together the original cast of ‘The Nanny’ for a virtual read of the pilot? It’s a once in a lifetime Pandemic Performance for our fans around the world who are currently stressing in isolation and could use a real upper! It sure has given each of us a lift and we hope it does for you as well.”
“The Nanny” ran for six seasons, from 1993-99, and featured Drescher as the fashionable title hire who ultimately falls for her employer, Mr. Sheffield (played by Charles Shaughnessy). She also has a particularly unique voice.
