On Wednesday, I drove into the city for the Rescue Me finale party. For some reason, I had thought this was going to be sort of like a “wrap party” for cast and crew, but once I arrived in the city, I learned that it was going to be a slightly bigger deal, with a red carpet and press and everything.
Now, I am very proud of my husband and what he did with the show Rescue Me, which he created and co-wrote as well as starred in. Yes, the show received much critical acclaim and ran for seven seasons and earned quite a few Emmy and Golden Globe nominations, but can we just talk about my hair for a minute? I no longer have my hair colored in a salon and I no longer even color my own hair with hair dye. I now purchase henna from the health food store, and use that to color my hair. I’m aware that many men and some women reading this will not understand what a drastic move this is, so let me explain. It’s sort of like somebody telling you that they’ve stopped dining in restaurants or buying food in shops, because they now prefer to root around in tree stumps for grubs to eat. Nonetheless, it’s what I’ve resorted to because my scalp has developed this painful reaction to hair dye. Henna gives it a lovely color that covers the grey roots, but unfortunately it washes out after one or two shampoos.
When I arrived in the city on Wednesday and learned about the red carpet, it was raining and my hair was wild, but I knew if I had it blown dry, it might be straight, but there would be the grey roots, so I decided that I would just, somehow, go with the big hair look.
Blow-outs are so 2010, I told myself. Because I had my last blow-out in 2010.
No, I would use a curling iron and make the hair go from puffy and frizzy, to pretty and curly. But first I needed to buy a curling iron. I left our apartment, and stopped in a shop near our apartment because these caught my eye:
Aren’t they just darling? I posted the photo on Facebook and there were some very funny comments posted about the cloven boots. As I left the store, I was reading the comments on my iPhone and snorting with laughter and managed to bump into a man who was leaning against the building, eating oatmeal from a cardboard container. This would not be worth mentioning were it not for the fact that the man was Peter Tolan, the co-creator/producer/writer and director of Rescue Me and before that The Job. Peter is usually in LA and I’m usually in CT, but somehow, that afternoon, in a city with thousands of street corners, Peter and I happened to be standing on the same one at the same time. It was great to see him and we had a few laughs and recalled some memories of the years that he and Denis worked on the show, and then I realized it was only about an hour before we needed to leave for the party, so I raced off to get a curling iron and brought it back to the apartment.
Long story short: my hair just ended up bigger, not curlier, but I did manage to burn myself on the neck with the curling iron, which left a bright red welt that looked like a hickey. Still, I was trying to make it all work. The hickey and big hair was a look I rocked in the 80s, maybe people would think it was intentional – that I was going all retro or something. Fortunately, Amy Komorowski arrived to help me sort things out. Amy is an amazing makeup and hair stylist and she managed to make my hair look great. Here we are together, before we left for the event:
Within 15 minutes, my hair was big and witchlike again, but who cares, because we were at the Ziegfeld Theater, watching John Landgraf, the head of FX, read glowing praise about the series from the NY Times, and other newspapers. Denis and Peter gave hysterical speeches, and then a large contingent from the FDNY took the stage and Niels Jorgensen made a very moving speech. Niels, like many first responders from 9/11, has cancer. His friend, another 1st responder has the same cancer as Niels and his treatments cost 12,000 a month. He is reimbursed by the city, for less than $4,000 a month. It would have taken all night for Niels to recount the names of his friends and associates who inhaled toxins while trying to save lives on 9/11 and who are now sick and dying. This is something that just doesn’t get enough attention in the press. It’s a disgrace the way our country refuses to assist our heroes – firefighters, cops who worked during the days and weeks following 9/11, and also our veterans when they return home from war, injured and suffering from PTSD. I tried to videotape Niels’ speech but my iPhone failed. Or I failed.
But the finale episode was great. Hysterically funny and so sad as well. I couldn’t be more proud of Denis and the cast and crew of Rescue Me, end especially the real firefighters who inspired the series. Many firefighters have expressed to Denis, their dissatisfaction with some of the content in the series over the years, and his response has been, “It’s a television show, not a documentary,” and some have understood this and Denis understands those who have taken issue with it. I think most will find that the final scenes of the series really pay homage to the bravery and sacrifice of all who decide to become firefighters.
Now let’s go back to talking about my hair.




Ann,, you look fabulous as always,, your hair is as beautiful as you are. You cracked me up about the hickey as I have long given up on curling irons as no matter how careful I am,, plop they land on my neck.
The finale was beyond what I had expected. My husband and I watched together with a roller coaster of emotions. Moving, funny and thanks to BMW for the look back at each character. Wednesday nights won’t be the same without Rescue Me.
Hi Ann,
I loved the finale of Rescue Me – very appropriate ending to a great show that I will miss. Do you know of a way to donate to firemen needing financial assistance with medical bills from 9/11? Does Leary Firefighters Foundation help firemen or just firehouses get equipment, etc?
BTW – your hair looked great!
Nancy, I’m going to find out if there is s special fund. I wish everybody, instead of donating to the 9/11 memorial, would just send $10 or whatever they can afford to a fund to help these men. I’ll ask Denis about the LFF, but I think there might be a special charity just for the medical bills of the sick firefighters.
Thanks, Ann!
I would definitely prefer giving to a specific fund for them. It is hideous for these responders to suffer for helping others.
Hey Ann,
The finale was awesome. Great ending to a great show. I had my box of tissues ready, but the mix of emotion and humor was perfect. I worked in 2 WTC on the 66th floor and my husband is NYPD, so needless to say we lost many friends that day. The show was very personal for us. We will miss it and Wednesdays won’t be the same.
Oh btw, you looked great. But – you would have looked better had you been rocking the camel toe boots
Oh M.J. this must be a very difficult time for you and your husband. Thanks for the comment.
Hi Ann! I have been following your blog for awhile, but never posted. Must say, you look great, hair looks fine to me! I also loved the finale of RM. I have been following Denis since The Job and I loved the RM series, I will miss it!
My apologies to Laura, didn’t know there was another Laura commenting on this blog or I wouldn’t have used it. I don’t pay close enough attention to names, I should. I will now be Laura T. from NJ (I guess there can be another, but I doubt it)
One of your best posts EVER. I laughed, I cried, I smacked myself in the head for thinking for an instant that you actually possibly COULD HAVE looked ridiculous on the red carpet when of course YOU DIDN’T. (Oatmeal from a cardboard container: HILARIOUS)
I hope Peter doesn’t read my blog!
This post is an example of why I love your writing…You can go from hilariously self-deprecating to solemn and serious in seconds and somehow, It all works beautifully!
You look great as always (and well, don’t get me started on my own hair-raising tales!).
We are anxiously (and sadly), awaiting the last season of Rescue Me to air here in Canada. I was late to the party, having watched all of the DVDs last year, but yes, Denis and everyone involved created something unique and amazing that will be missed by so many of us!
My daughter and I were discussing the plight of the first responders just last night. To say the least, it’s a terrible injustice. Is there a way to help?
Thinking of you ALL this anniversary weekend…
Part of what I found ultimately compelling about the final episode of Rescue Me was that, not unlike life itself, it didn’t resolve all of the characters’ issues and hand the viewer a neat and tidy “going-away present” at the end of the show. One was left with the clear impression that the firefighters it portrayed will continue to wrestle with their personal demons, perhaps for the rest of their own lives.
Oh, and Ann, your hair looked fab!
Thanks Alan!
Ooooh, I love your hair! As a person has contemplated shaving her head to just start over, I feel all your pain!
But can we go back to the boots? Seriously?
Well, Shannon, they only cost $945.00, would you like me to pick you up a pair?
$945!!! really is there a matching purse?
Or perhaps matching tail and horns??
While I will miss you as a blonde, I think you look pretty with brown hair also. Does Denis have a preference for your hair color? I guess more to the point, do you have a preference?
I just prefer to not have grey hair. Denis never notices my hair color and I’ve made some drastic changes over the years.
Ann, I completely get the hair thing. Have you tried a flat iron? It takes some getting used to but it can turn frizzy, wavy hair into straight and shiny. Just add a little bit of a hair shine and you’re good to go.
I have been a fan of Rescue Me since the series started. I especially enjoyed the episodes with Maura Tierny and Michael J. Fox. The ending was brilliant.
My brother in law was in the South Tower that day and survived. We waited some time to hear that relieving news. My sister watched on TV as the plane hit his building and she was trying to figure out what floor it hit because she knew he was on the 54th. I will never forget her phone call to me. He never, and I mean never, talks about that day. I call him each September 11 and tell him how grateful I am that he is in my sister’s life and what a great dad he is to my nephews and neice. I never say why I picked that day to call and he never asks. But we know. I really don’t think he has been the same since – there is just this low level depression and this heaviness to him at times that was not there before. I wish he would talk to someone about it. I thank god for those first responders that calmly assisted people down those stairwells.
Please let me know how I can contribute to a fund for those first responders who are suffering health issues.
Michelle, wow, your comment made me teary. I’m so happy that your brother-in-law survived but so, so sorry for the sadness. I’ll find out about what is the best fund for the first responders.
Michelle, That is something to read. I feel terrible that he can’t speak of that day, think of it out loud, express his feelings.. I’m sure it’s a cut and dry case of PTSD. It had to be so traumatic for him as he may have lost many that worked with him. The numbers still astound me for both the FDNY and NYPD. That day should have been a day that never happened. A shame because of shattered lives. I hope that one day he can speak of it because it’s the only way to get this out and help himself. I’m so sorry for him and can only imagine what he must be suffering through. We’ll all pray for him in our own way.. Wishing him and you the best.
Oh, Michelle.
Michelle,
I totally and completely understand how you feel and the fact that your brother-in-law doesn’t speak of it. My brother was a high ranking Navy officer assigned to the Pentagon and had left his desk for home a mere 15 minutes before the attack; his office was dead center of the area attacked. We too waited all day to hear anything ( we later found out he was assigned to a very high govt official who was whisked out of Washington for safety reasons. He carried a great deal of survivor guilt and he too suffered from depression. He also never took advantage of counseling and we feel that this contributed to health problems and lead to his early death at 50. I firmly believe that there are so many out there who are suffering that we will just never know about. Horrible on so many levels.
Barbara, so sorry for your loss. I live about 20 miles from NYC, and there have been frequent newswpaper articles about residents near me, such as Ann wrote about, who now are seriously ill and disabled, as a result of their work at Ground Zero. I have always felt that as a country, we fall short when taking care of our own. I, too, would like to know how I can contribute.
Barbara, I am so, so sorry about your brother.
Barbara, that’s awful, so sorry.
Michelle, how sad about your brother-in-law. I hope that he will find help and eventually heal. Your calls to him each year must mean so much … so caring and thoughtful of you.
This is why I love your writing — you tell it like it is. I have never seen a bad photo of you (but like that you can laugh at yourself). I watched the finale twice now and makes me sad that that one of my fav. shows is gone. One of those special projects that come around every once in a while.
P.S. if you give up on the henna ‘thang’ try INOA.
Thanks Rayna. And I’m dying to know what INOA is.
I loved all the episodes of Rescue Me and was sad to see it end.I think the final show was sad, funny and left us feeling hopeful.The sacrifice that those who work in public service give cannot be underestimated.I don’t know of too many of us that could put on full turn out gear and grab another 60plus pound of equipment and run into anything..let alone something on fire.I think Denis and Peter did good,the show will be missed and lets hope no one loses sight of those first reponders who are in need of help.
And by the way Ann…as always you looked fabulous!
I really enjoyed your husbands show and have been a big fan of his for many years. I would like to say thank you to him and you. I know that for 7yrs it’s a strain also on you for him to put in that much work. Being a police officer and many friends that are firefighters I related to the show very much. Please tell your husband Thank You for the entertaiment and the support to all of us in these occupations.
This post is quite a ride! Phenomenal. You present a range of feeling and disparate topics with deceptive grace and ease…..laughing to crying and back in a few short paragraphs.
I admire your ability to do this more than my own words can say.
Funny stuff about the hair. You can rock any look, and you made me feel better about having that curling iron debacle of my own.
By the way, did you secretly buy a pair of camel toes?? I dare you to wear em to the local market for a laugh, if you did. Haha! People might forget that you had a face…. (for one moment)…excellent distraction from any hair situation.
Halloween is around the corner and my hair is a disaster as usual….Hmmmm….. Nope. I’ll spare everyone and think of something else.
The perfect ending to this incredible show – my family has grown to become enormous Dennis and Ann Leary fans! My husband and I, who seldom get date-nights out due to our parenting schedule, made it to Mohegan Sun recently for the final Rescue Me Comedy Tour. Denis was superb – and his cast & band were so talented, too. Rescue Me will remain one of our favorite television shows ever. We look forward to your future novels, and Denis Leary’s future projects. Thank you for the intelligent, witty, inventive work you and Denis give us! And thank you for honoring our nations’ truest heroes My husband asked me to add this last point…he says, “remember, we’re all Bootsie.”
The GRAND Finale of “Rescue Me” was Awesome!Especially that Most survived( BUTG POOR LOU).(Possibility it MIGHT someday come back)?? Wishful Thinkin’ because as most say Wednesday nights will never be the same! I am like most others going to miss Rescue Me. (Never missed a show except for the week of no power thanx to Irene) But thank God for internet I seen it before the finale show = ) As for the Camel toe shoes/booties it would be histerical if you responded to a call and Bernie got of picture of you in them!LOL! As for your hair you always look beautiful! And I have the same problem..first the Curly, Frizzy witchlike looking hair…definately try the flat iron, works wonders, and the curling iron, I need to do that everyday! As for the haircolors, again same here, all of the sudden my scalp started getting irritated and was burning and at the same time itchy! And I don’t like, ON ME, those grey roots either! I’ve been using that 10 minute Loreale hair color, with only 10 minutes it gives less time to irritate your scalp and lasts a couple of weeks! Worth a Shot!
I loved the finale, but they tricked me with the shot of the multiple coffins! I should have known it would be one of Tommy’s demented dreams. Poor Lou, I loved his comment at the end about the fat kid. I always say, ‘never trust a skinny cook’ (except for you, dear Ann).
As for using henna, I think the color is very nice. When I used it, I found it very drying, so stock up on good conditioner.
I watched all 7 seasons of the show and the only thing I did not like was Colleen’s wedding, other than that it was great. I very much liked the ending and the baby honoring Lou. It was a good run. So,….May I have the jacket yet?? You look fab, as always.
The finale was amazing! Funny, sad, bizarre–all the things that were great about Rescue Me! I will miss the show and the wonderful characters that we loved–flaws and all. I laughed. I cried. I am going to watch it again!
Also–my mom has an allergy to hair dye. She has it pulled through a cap heavily so it gets most of her hair but keeps the dye off her scalp. She has to do it about every 3 weeks though because of the grey re-growth. May be a good alternative for you if you get tired of the henna. That sounds like a part time job.
Loved the Finale, but not clear on how it was that Lou was the only one who died in the fire. Can anyone shed some light?
Ann,
I was so happy with the way the show ended. My mother kept insisting that Tommy was going to pass away at the end of the show. Rescue Me was one of the best shows on TV and I am am going to miss it.
Hi Ann,
The henna looks good on you. I have never seen a photo of you with big witchlike hair but with your bone structure I suspect that you could pull it off. You might even start a trend.
INOA is an ammonia-free hair color made by L’Oreal. I hadn’t developed a full blown allergy but was becoming more sensitive to regular hair color. My colorist had read about INOA and did whatever training session L’Oreal offered. I was her INOA guinea pig and have been using it for the last year. I have been very satisfied….no more burning scalp.
Ann, I always love reading your stories, funny & thoughful at the same time. it’s great that you don’t take yourself so seriously. very refreshing. and I have to chime in on RM; best show on TV and the finale had me going crazy! loved the way it ended, just right being covered in Lou. How’s the lake house doing these days since the flood??
Ann, at your mention of Henna, I immediately had a vision of Lucille Ball using that to dye her hair in I Love Lucy! Does it come out red? Hard to tell from the photo, but whatever color it is looks great. Here is my solution to a bad hair day: Hats!!
I have not seen the RM finale yet, (am behind on my viewing episodes), but I am already missing the show, just knowing it has ended. For me, this was one of the most extraordinarily real, quality shows ever on television. As a native New Yorker, born in the Bronx to Irish Catholic immigrant parents, I related on a level I could never put into words. Denis paid a wonderful tribute to New York, its heros, and everyone touched by 9/11.
I am hoping for a complete series DVD boxed set, perhaps in time for Christmas(?)…..it would be on the top of my wish list.
Please thank your husband for this wonderful piece of television, so rare these days.
Ann, I tried henna a few years back. It did not irritate my scalp, but it did make my hair darker than my natural color and it lasted for forever!! It faded at bit. When I no longer wanted to use henna it took two full years for it to grow out. My hair is shoulder length.
I also found a natural hair coloring product that matches my real hair color and does not irritate my scalp. I’m very happy with it and hope as time goes by my scalp does not react to it.
Okay, so am I the only one who reads this blog who hasn’t seen one episode of RM? I’m sorry, Ann. I will say that my sister’s best friend in Montreal loves the show. I hope that makes up for my transgression.
Now, on to the hair. Every time I’ve seen you in person, it looked fabulous. Whatever you did then, you should just keep on doing.
I never quite managed to find the perfect product, and experimented with every imaginable hair product ever created, included afro hair straighteners. I never had an afro. I even bought a pink hair extension once. That was in the 80′s, and I think my mother eventually tied it to a stick as a DIY cat toy.
Now, back to Denis. While I was driving home yesterday, I heard a news story about a group of LA firefighters who rode their bicycles to NY to raise funds for the Leary Firefighter Foundation. They raised $40,000.00. I was so moved by that story, and can only say “God bless Denis.”
Oh Aislinn,
Thank you for sharing. It makes me feel like I’m at an AA meeting, but……my name is Barbara and I too have never watched Rescue Me. I grew up with uncles and cousins who are firefighters; I appreciate and value each of them.
I wear my hair short, I have very little to offer in the way of products. It was always straight, then 4 years ago it all came out as a result of chemo; now I have soft curls ( especially on humid days). I don’t think any of us are every fully satisfied with our hair. But it could always be worse; it could look like Little Orphan Annie!!
Cannot read through the comments, as I have to wait for Rescue Me to come out on DVD and I don’t want to know what happens, yet!
I was devastated after my move to Europe, that I wasn’t able to follow it along in “real time”, so I will have to wait. Sigh….. Anyway, I’m sure it was a great finale – just like the show has always been.
And Ann – you looked fabulous!!! Funny about the run-in with Peter Tolan – that just shows you, it’s a small world after all.
I’m a newbie here Ann…Really enjoy your blog and the honest humor you share with us! You and your husband are like bookends!
On hair coloring: I actually don’t enjoy doing it…but I’m too chicken to let it grow out and see what’s going on in there! I’ve never gone the henna route but your hair looks amazing Ann..!
On curling irons: well..my family usually urges me to give up the fight and step away from the ‘weapon’! If I say my forehead ‘hickey’ is from my curling iron, they really think I walked into a wall anyway!
On RESCUE ME: Watched every season..will miss it so, but it ended honest and true. A show to be proud of. Denis has been a favorite of mine for years. Be it Movies, TV or stand up, he hits it out of the park no matter what. Congrats and thanks to the writers, cast, crew, firefighters and every wonderful guest star for a job so well done.
Hey Ann…tell Denis a job well done…I’m a stylist from The Mall at Short Hills in NJ…INOA is a new color from the L’oreal Co….come visit I’ll rock your hair! The Salon is called JUST…come by horseback he’s gorgeous!
I thought it was just going to be a “wrap party” as well. Was not prepared for the massive crowd and that loud music (god, I sound old, don’t I?). And there was no place to sit, so this gimp chick didn’t last long at that after party, unfortunately.
The experience of watching the finale in that gorgeous theatre was something I’ll always remember; the sight of all those firefighters standing at the front, that image will always be with me, as well. And Denis stopped to say hi to Luke and ruffle his fur. So that was fun.
For any of you looking for a way to support the firefighters and their loved ones, you can go to the Leary Firefighters Foundation website and donate directly – you can also support the individuals who fundraise, like those wonderful folks cycling across the country, and those of us who’re part of Team LFF for the NYC Marathon!

I know my amount still says zero, but I’ve actually raised about 1200 so far with the sale of scarves I’ve been knitting; the funds just haven’t been posted yet.
Hair & you look fab!(glad you passed on the camels!)Always have been a huge fan of denis’s (comedy,shows). But Rescue Me just solidified it for me. When the show premired, i learned all about the charitable work for fd’s through out the country & why. My best friend in the whole world, like a brother to me was with Brooklyn’s Squad 1 on 9/11. He was one of 12. There’s not a day that goes by that i dont think of him (cry on the bad days. Laugh on the good. Or both!)The pain of missing him has left a whole in my heart,my time with him his seared in my soul.But once a week Rescue Me gave me a lil bit of him back with a little piece of each of the crew. Bravery,courage, heroism, brotherhood,sacrifice,humor,sensitive,honesty even if it hurt. Even the womanizing at times! I’m so sad the show is over & I loved the ending (not Lou, but..That’s what “Lou’s” do for thier crew). Please thank your husband for me from the bottom of my heart & thank you (behind every good man, there’s an even better woman!)
**his charitable
I loved loved loved the finale, although the first scene with Lou giving the eulogy made me cry so hard that I cursed your husband on Twitter. Maybe Facebook too.
Rescue Me was one of the finest TV shows I’ve ever watched. It’s definitely one that I will own on DVD.
He did an amazing job. The finale was, to me, the way it should have been. Tommy & Janet having a son, renewing their vows (albeit with Mickey presiding), it was all wonderful.
Please tell him congratulations on a job well done.
And to your point about the first responders from 9/11 who are now ill and dying – you are right on. Much, much more needs to be done to help them.
Ann, you look wonderful. You keep in such great shape and your hair looks terrific. I was wondering if you switched to a natural way of coloring your hair, the henna, even though in my opinion you don’t need it.. but because of the chemicals. Please let us know.. I’m assuming that is the case though. You look so natural. Could you share your beauty secrets with us? I’m interested anyway. You look totally natural, you’re in great shape and I just turned 40, and you look 10 years younger than you stated you were..That’s what I hope to look like as well. At this age, at any age. Some women just look so naturaly great. You and Denis are in wonderful shape. Denis was on Letterman about a week before the finale of “Rescue Me.” David asked him how he kept in such terrific shape.. he said “Crystal Meth”, which I know he was joking about. He looks much younger than he is. It must be that great country air.. I lived in MA and the air was sublime.. so pretty, so clean. The air here sucks to put it bluntly. Yeah, that’s Vegas for you, even though I live in the mountains.. Go towards the city and it’s smog central..the air is palpable. Such a waste..Anyway. I hope you do a segment on your beauty tips. You look amazing…so from all the women of America, you must share your beauty tips.. On another note as Leigh Ann stated about the finale and made me laugh so hard about cursing your husband… good God I was crying so hard you would think I was at my loved ones funerals.. Jeez talk about killing me so hard inside I almost died!!! Damn you Denis..You killed loveable Lou.. I was so upset. Pass the message on. What an incredible ending nevertheless. I was upset because I felt like I was saying goodbye to friends and family. How dare he do that.. It was so incredible. That is why I have paid $50 bucks a pop for all the seasons on DVD. I have 1-5 so far and the gag reels are so well worth the cost and I love the idea that he puts the money towards the fire fighters in Boston, my home town.. and FDNY..much needed. I am so sorry to hear that big teddy bear Niels Jorgensen has cancer. That just breaks my heart. I feel for him so much.. he was there helping clear the mess from 9/11 and this is the thanks he gets.. Cancer! Damn..where is a God when you need him and as Denis (Tommy Gavin) stated so many times on the show, I too am a lapsed Roman Catholic, little do my relatives know, because God forbid they’ll literally KILL me.. I have one unlce who is a priest and 2 aunts who are nuns.. no lie. My grandmother was such a devout Catholic, but she never preached to me that I needed to be. She was a wonderful person. But back to what I was stating.. If there is a God, he sure does have a great deal of explaining to do about what happened that day and the lives it has affected to this very day..10 years later. What are the answers we ask ourselves. I didn’t want to be a hypocrit to a man made religion and I’m Italian as well, so the guilt factor is beyond sickening.. went to Catholic schools, the works .. told I was going to hell for any and everything I did.. No offense to anyone reading but I can’t help the way I feel. I don’t know what to believe in any longer.. Spiritual yes, religious, no..that’s me. But grew up with plenty of GUILT.. LOL..So to complete my series on one of the best shows I’ve ever seen on T.V., I plan to get 6 and 7 on DVD…even though I already downloaded it on Amazon where you can buy them.. I bought all the 6th and 7th series.. but I have to see the
actual DVD’s and buy them because of all the special features..well worth it, so They’re coming next.. I call “Rescue Me” my male version of “Sex and The City”.. It truly is..the conversations, the problems, yet they’re all male. Fantastic.. The Emmy’s are apparently stupid. I can’t believe Denis or Peter have received no Emmy’s. What the heck were they thinking? I think it’s jealousy.. Well in our hearts they win because the shows that actually did actually stink..not a fan of any of them. So there.. Hopefully we’ll see another ensemble cast as great as these actors and the show was.. Kudos!!! Remember beauty secrets Ann!!
