laydees.
Marjorie is notoriously rude to those she is
trying to help including Rosie (Rosie O'Donnell) whom she introduces by saying,
"You had your own show until
Ellen DeGeneres took your slot." Then there is this exchange as
Rosie tells her story of struggling with her weight when Marjorie asks Rosie,
"Are you fat because you're a lesbian or are you a lesbian because you're fat
and couldn't get a man?" At another point, Rosie rips into Marjorie for being so
rude, prompting Marjorie to reply, "I'm disgusting? At least I don't lick
another woman's ******."

they had to stop taping so the audience could settle down."

Sarah Chalke, playing a
thin-spirational woman who lost more
than 150 pounds on a Weight Watchers-type program. The

Little Britain star and cocreator Matt Lucas.
Sar-babe had to scarf down about five doughnuts during the scene, which was
filmed three times, poor girl.
