'Well, it was very interesting because, of course, I wasn’t allowed to watch Sex and the City as a child,' she told hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Alyssa Farah Griffin, and Sara Haines last week. She noted that she was unfamiliar with the television series in general, adding, 'We didn’t have cable even, our family, so, I really had no idea what the show was.'.

'So, I auditioned for it. I was like, "What a weird show. What a weird title." And then on the way home, on the train, we saw a building — like, a Sex and the City billboard across the whole building,' she recalled. The former Two Broke Girls star continued, 'And after I did that and I walked into, like, The Gap in Pennsylvania, people were like, "Oh my God, it’s Jenny Brier! Like, give her the employee discount!" I was getting discounts!'.
