Teri Hatcher got help in learning standup comedy from a pre-Ted Lasso Brett Goldstein

Variety

The former Desperate Housewives star, who will appear on Showtime's Even More Funny Women of a Certain Age, has been honing her comedy act by telling funny stories at small shows for the past five years. At one show years ago, she met Goldstein. “I had come from the gynecologist’s office and I don’t know why, standing and talking to Brett Goldstein — who is this lovely man but I didn’t know who he is because it was years ago — I start telling him the story about how I hadn’t had sex a long time and how I was potentially meeting this guy who maybe I was going to get to be having sex with but I hadn’t had sex in such a long time I wasn’t sure if it all worked down there,” Hatcher recalls with a laugh. “I went to the gynecologist with that in mind and I didn’t really know how to ask the gynecologist that question and I finally just said to him, ‘Does it look like a guy would have a good time in there?’ I really said that and he really backed away from me and he went, ‘Teri, you have a totally average vagina.’ Brett fell out laughing and said, ‘That should be the title of your one-woman show.'” The idea led Hatcher to try longer form material.
