Comedy Talk: Regis and Kelly Interview Patricia Heaton

To help push the return tonight of her Fox sitcom Back to You, two-time Emmy-winning star Patricia Heaton paid a visit to Live with Regis and Kelly this morning.

The interview got off to a great start with Patricia revealing that all four of her children — yes, she has four and still looks spectacular — are taller than she is, which isn’t necessarily a big deal since she’s only 5'2". That’s too bad for the young'uns, though, because although they’re only 9, 10, 12, and 14 years old, Patricia has a rule that once her kids are taller than her, they have to get a job.

After sharing two more anecdotes about her poor New York City days living in Hell’s Kitchen (she scored a gig that landed her in a hotel with oodles of “free” toiletry samples) and the joys of Korean baths (she highly recommends them), Patricia discusses the premise of Back to You. Thankfully, the clip she brought along indicates the sitcom still has its funny bone in place.

Check out the two-part footage (it wasn’t long — there was just a commercial break right in the middle) after the jump.
