Some would call that greedy.

Young Hollywood

Uh, yeah, but not me. And certainly not you.

Young Hollywood

How old are you?

Young Hollywood

Wow. That's that's real chest hair. That's real chest hair. That's not Hollywood. No make-up artist put that in.

Young Hollywood

In the show you you have just taken, you're the ex-boy ex-girlfriend.

I inherit the animal hospital. And I have the incredible task of taking over this very disorganized animal hospital and and bringing some order to it and also reconnecting with an old flame.

Young Hollywood

Yes.

Guest

And meeting some new misfits.

Young Hollywood

And how is that?

Guest

Um it it was a rocky start, but now things are starting to settle in and I think that you see that there's a lot of love and respect there.

Young Hollywood

The show looks hilarious.

Guest

Thank you so much.

Young Hollywood

Is it hilarious filming it? It must be a lot of fun.

Guest

It's fun. Um it's the best group of actors I've worked with because they're

Young Hollywood

They're not saying that just because of this.

Guest

No, I'm not saying that. I I can I I I I I'll say it to their face.

Young Hollywood

Okay, love that.

Guest

I think it's pretty good. Yeah, I mean, I like that it's funny but I also like that we kind of oddly enough I'm kind of servicing the show in a very different way this time around. I'm not I'm not totally the uh the boob of the show. We have Bobby Lee and and Betsy Sodaro uh covering that. They do that. They do that definitely, yeah. That's what they cover. I guess I Yeah, yeah, I think so. So I think it would be a little redundant if I was doing the same thing. But I get to kind of stretch my uh dramatic chops a little, which has been pretty fun.

Young Hollywood

Wanita. Wanita. Got a little bit a little bit of a ring to it, isn't it? Wanita. Wanita. What's up girl? What's up? Oh, that's just how Wanita does it. Isn't it? Yeah. What up girl? What up girl? What up girl? That was my Wanita impression. Obviously terrible.

Young Hollywood

So here we are in the massage room at the club in Beverly Hills with Kelly and Britney and they're about to give Georgie a facial to make her ready for her close-up. Let's hope it works.

Young Hollywood

Is Georgie the most beautiful dog you've ever seen?

Guest

She is. I love her. Look at that.

Young Hollywood

It's good to be Georgie.

Young Hollywood

Well, that's it. Georgie now looks a couple of years younger. We're going to go out and see if we can get her lucky for the night.

Young Hollywood

Um I had a boa constrictor on my head.

Young Hollywood

You did around your neck.

Georgie is about to get seen by a psychic. Got to be honest, I'm a little bit scared about Georgie's future. We're going to soon find out. Fingers crossed.

Young Hollywood

How old is she now? Because she's three.

Guest

She's three. She thinks she's about six.

Young Hollywood

Right. They don't have time. So they don't quantify things in the way that we do. Do people ask questions like how long is she going to live? I don't want to ask it.

Guest

They do ask. They do ask. They do ask that.

Young Hollywood

Oh. Yeah. Should we ask it?

Guest

Um, I don't know if that's a I mean, it doesn't Look, she doesn't even want to know. So she doesn't want to know. She's exiting. You're like, Dad, why would you ask such a horrible question? Why are you trying to kill me?

Young Hollywood

She wants her close-up. Look at that. This is Georgie's moment. That's right. Superstar. Um, and uh, fame? Is fame in the future for Georgie? Is she going to appear in any movies? Because there's been a lot of requests.

Guest

I was going to say she very well could be and as we can see, she has an affinity for the camera. I have no idea where she gets that from.

Young Hollywood

I'm asking everyone, how is it working with that monkey? Not Bobby, Crystal.

Guest
