'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.
