Maggie Wheeler Live On Game Changers With Vicki Abelson

Oh.My.God! Maggie Wheeler brought the smart, the empathetic, the funny, great inside stories, and even a song. A very inspiring one. Spectacular all. How has Maggie spent her COVID staycation? In service, as she has been for 17 years as the creator/director of Golden Bridge Choir, and now, since the start of the pandemic, Together In Song, a worldwide choir of voices, where everyone is encouraged to create community and sing. We got the scoop on her break in Lorne Michaels’ The New Show, her hysterical audition to win the slot, Johnny Carson, her mom’s memorable note, Henry Jaglom building her first starring film role, casting her ex, an unknown David Duchovny, who, as a result, soon after shot to stardom, Ellen, a love fest, and what went south there, Suddenly Susan, also going south, damn those vivacious redheads, but which led to her being available for Friends, her one-off as Janice turning into a ten-year run–– where the voice came from, the Oh. My. God. and that laugh! Matthew Perry, his brilliance, and his struggles, very soon to come to light in his about-to-drop memoir. Everybody Loves Raymond, the leading role showrunner Phil Rosenthal wanted and fought for her to have, why she didn’t get it, and the featured part he wrote for her instead. 

Maggie’s pragmatic yet forever optimistic, a champion for her family, and friends, causes big and seemingly small, putting her vast gifts where her talented, hysterical, voice is. I loved every minute reunited with this sweet, funny woman, who’s always doing, giving, being her best, making music sing in the midst of this pandemic.
