Until the Max comedy's third season, Paul W. Downs' Jimmy — whose late father was a big talent manager himself — had never revealed his mom's identity. But we finally hear him drop her name in episode 2, when Jimmy and his assistant Kayla — who sings the praises of Deidre's"incredible body" and"perfect ass" in front of her embarrassed son — try to find a guest to join Deborah Vance when she fills in for a sick late-night host.

Hall couldn't agree more. "I didn't have a backstory with because my son is introducing us," she explains of the stars' interaction, "but I could play an immediate curiosity, an immediate fascination — and then he picked up on that and that's what we played."Lloyd, she says, made that part easy. "We were all awed by him," she recalls. "He's been so larger than life to all of us.
