AWARDSLINE: Well, you talk about a discovery like Melissa McCarthy, who might be the most gifted physical comedian to come along in I can’t even remember how long. Did you see all this in her when you cast her for Mike & Molly?
LORRE: No, because it wasn’t called for in the pilot. Melissa walked in and she has her own voice. Melissa is not trying to emulate anyone. She has her own comic voice and her own distinctive rhythms. And then the writing has to adapt because that takes everything up a notch.

AWARDSLINE: What to you is most gratifying about the way that this show has flourished?
Chuck LorreLORRE: Once again, there’s a series of events that occurred that in hindsight are just remarkable. How lucky can you get when you start with Melissa and
Billy [Gardell] and then you add on the rest of that ensemble? There are so many pieces of this ensemble that are gems. It’s such a rich bench. It’s a fun team to manage. It’s a great opportunity to work with that kind of an ensemble.

Mike and Molly has the best ensemble cast of any comedy on television right now. None of them have ever a dull moment. I think the entire cast works so well together, and that is why it's my favorite comedy right now.

I think I need to start watching reruns of this show and catch up. I hear nothing but positive reviews for it.
