Tom O'Neil: are you getting much sleep?
Jaime Pressly: Lucky for me Dezi is an angel and he sleeps through the night since he was a month and a half old
mlsenn: Wow, that's great.
lostdundie: Lucky
Tom O'Neil: Jaime, tell us why you chose "Jump for Joy" as the episode to submit to Emmy judges
Jaime Pressly: "Jump for Joy" was one of my biggest story lines in an episode, I loved the scenes I had with everyone from jail, I thought they showed a lot of levels of Joy
NateDoggg: My favorite line was when you said "My eyeballs are big? Yeah, well, all the better to see your fat ass waddle away with!"
BTN: lol
Kams: You're lucky, Jaime.
mlsenn: Are you excited to go to the Emmys this year? What are you going to wear?
Jaime Pressly: Still trying to decide on the dress, but could not be more excited about going again as a nominee
Jaime Pressly: They say babies bring good luck so maybe this year will be my turn to take home the Emmy
NateDoggg: maybe jason should find a way to get pregnant so he can finally get an emmy nod
Jaime Pressly: No one is more deserving of an Emmy nomination and trophy than Jason Lee
mlsenn: We can only hope Jaime. Goodluck.
NateDoggg: yeah, it's interesting how many women win awards when they are pregnant or right after having babies
Tom O'Neil: Tell us more about the episode -- special moments in it that you think showcase your work best
Jaime Pressly: The scenes from jail between Joy and Earl and Joy and Catalina showed all kinds of emotion and allowed me to show a lot of levels as an actress
Kams: Jaime, last year you had the best episode among the five nominees. However, you lost to Megan Mullally. Were you disappointed on that day?
NateDoggg: Do you have any thoughts about your competition this year?
Tom O'Neil: Who are you most worried about in terms of your Emmy competition?
straydog07: vanessa williams is gonna be trouble
babypook: haha
Kams: I totally agree, Jaime. It's ridiculous that Jason was, once again, snubbed.
lostdundie: Do you watch any of the shows your fellow nominees are in?
Jaime Pressly: In my opinion he and Ethan Suplee are the heart and soul of the show
AwardsFanatic: Jaime, Huge fan since your Mortal Kombat TV series days. Congratulations on your Emmy nomination. Good Luck and continued success personally and professionally!
Tom O'Neil: she's an evil character -- you're allowed to bump off Vanessa
Moviemjk102: ya, lee should have won for "the trial"
Kams: But Joy is also an important part of "My Name is Earl". And you are AMAZING on the show, Jaime. Love the way you play Joy every week.
Moviemjk102: new color!
NateDoggg: Do you know Jenna Fischer at all? Her character is like the total opposite of Joy
Jaime Pressly: I am not really worried, just happy to be nominated but lucky for me Megan Mullally is no longer in my catagory. Hell, even I voted for her last year.
mlsenn: Haha
Kams: hahahahaha
Aura: Joy is the best, did you base her on anyone?
babypook: did you model your character on anyone or anything Jaime?
Aura: lol
mlsenn: great minds.....
babypook: o no aura
Jaime Pressly: Jenna is one of my favorite people in Television as well as in person, I would not be upset if I lost an Emmy to her.
lostdundie: She is a sweetie
straydog07: i like not another teen movie
Jaime Pressly: I modeled parts of the Character after my Grandmother Pressly, she was a spit fire and extremely fearless in what she said and her actions
Kams: Jaime, do you have any favorite Joy moment on "My Name is Earl"?
2007-08-16 16:10:26.0
lostdundie: Do you sometimes get tounge tied speaking the dialogue when you have to talk really really fast, as Joy often does?
NateDoggg: Can you give us any scoop on what's in store for Joy this season?
babypook: i do love spit fires
mlsenn: How do you feel about being a business woman as well as an actress? And how did you come up with the idea for the sleepwear collection?
Jaime Pressly: The sleepwear collection was 5 years ago, for the last 3 years it has been a knit wear line and I recently hire Renee Bardot to be my collborative designer
mlsenn: That's great
Aura: that must be a lot of work
lostdundie: Is there anyone you want to meet, or anything you want to do, that you didn't get to do at the Emmys last year[other than win]
NateDoggg: pose
Jaime Pressly: During October fashion week we will be launching the new collection, that includes new fabrics like linen and silk, I am really excited about this new direction that the line is taking
babypook: has joy worn any of the line in Earl?
Aura: Joy seems like a Walmart gal
babypook: haha aura
Jaime Pressly: Being a business woman is part of who I am and I have enjoyed entertaining people my whole life, so both careers come as second nature to me
mlsenn: I really respect that you do both.
AwardsFanatic: And she has more time
BTN: what is your next project? movies? Stage?
straydog07: not another teen movie sequel?
NateDoggg: hey jamie, any plans to post for playboy again now that you're a mommy?
Jaime Pressly: No I will not be posing for playboy, it is a wonderful publication but I have had my day and its time to move on to new types of projects
NateDoggg: :-(
lostdundie: Was it any extra difficult to shoot episodes last season during your pregnancy?
babypook: hey isk!
Jaime Pressly: My favorite part of SNL was the school girl with the ghetto dialect
AwardsFanatic: Loved it!
BTN: that was great
Aura: oh that was hilarious
Professor Chaos: Did you give Jason a hard time for announcing your pregnancy on Leno before you did?
Jaime Pressly: I am not going to say shooting while pregnant was the easiest thing I have done, but I work with great people who understand what I was going through and could not have been more helpful
iskolar: Jamie, how was the working relationship of the cast during shooting?
Jaime Pressly: He announced it on a red carpet, the press tricked him, as they often do and thought I had already announced it based on the questions the press was asking, but yes I gave him a hard time
NateDoggg: brett butler was terrific
lostdundie: You've got Michael Rappaport coming on, and I heard they're casting a new female character for Earl to meet in prison
babypook: christian slater last year was so great
NateDoggg: anyone from the blue collar comedy tour would fit right in
Professor Chaos: or not
straydog07: a not another teen movie sequel would be great
Professor Chaos: I remember a while back, Kevin Smith mentioned he'd like to direct an episode. Any talk of that happening this season?
lostdundie: A few Teen Movie actors have been making it big- Jaime, Chris Evans [the Human Torch] and Cheyler Leigh [new Grey's Anatomy cast member]
straydog07: so then there should be a sequel
NateDoggg: what about some others from kevin smith movies? jason should be able to lure them to the show
NateDoggg: who would you like to guest star on earl next?
Boomer: Your show has some of the best guest stars (perfectly cast) on TV today. Are there any guest stars you are hoping will arrive soon on Earl?
BTN: i would like to see brett butler again
Jaime Pressly: We just started back on the show this week and we are not aware of all the guest stars for the season yet. Two of my favorites are Beau Bridges and Giovanni Rebessi (sp?) and they are both nominated for Emmys for best guest stars.
babypook: that is great news
babypook: i love those guys
Jaime Pressly: Kevin Smith is a dear friend of Jason Lee
Jaime Pressly: lee's and there is still a possiblity he will be directing an episode
lostdundie: I can easily see Affleck going to TV someday to inject a second wind into his career
NateDoggg: get joey lauren adams on the show!
mlsenn: How was your experience on Punk’d? Were you freaked out at first?
Jaime Pressly: Of course I was freak out on Punk'd. I saw my life flash before my eyes and thought I would lose everything I had. But in the end it was a great publicity launch for the line.
mlsenn: That's good
Boomer: Will you be a presenter again this year on the Emmy ceremony??
taloson: are you a big fan of The Office? I know Jason Lee said he preferred the british version
Professor Chaos: I think the chemistry between you & Ethan Suplee is highly underrated. I'd love to see more storylines putting your two characters together.
Jaime Pressly: Funny you should mention that Professor Chaos. That is exactly what will happen this season
lostdundie: Well, Randy does need some company with Earl gone
Jaime Pressly: and quite frankly I think Ethan Suplee is highly under-rated as an actor, as it is
Professor Chaos: To be honest, I think his "Larceny of a Kitty Cat" emmy tape was stronger than most of the guys that got nominated
lostdundie: Time After Time....
straydog07: woo hoo not another teen movie sequel
NateDoggg: are there any shows you look forward to watching with your son now?
Jaime Pressly: At three months old Dezi's favorite thing to watch is anything with colors, like cartoon and of course he is a big fan of watch his mom be funny
Professor Chaos: Amy Sedaris, another great Earl guest star
taloson: agreed
Jaime Pressly: His favorite song is the "itsy bitsy spider." It cracks him up. Funny enough kids don't usually get the smiling muscle till 3 months old, but he has been laughing and smiling since 7 weeks!
Professor Chaos: Did you film anything during your time off this summer? Or was it strictly family time with the new baby?
NateDoggg: awww
mlsenn: Would you ever consider writing or directing an episode of the show?
babypook: endorphins
NateDoggg: now that you're a mommy, maybe you'll start getting more different parts; it seems like a lot of people have liked to cast you in bitchier roles
babypook: any scoops on the new season Jaime?
BTN: no more Joy and crab man?
Jaime Pressly: Joy will be hanging out with Randy more, but no divorce from crabman
BTN: that's good
Jaime Pressly: Unfortuantely guys I have a 4:30 interview with People Magazine, so I have to wrap it up. Thank you so much for all your questions and keep your fingers crossed for me on September 16th. Bye and thanks again!
BTN: Good Luck
iskolar: Thanks and good luck!
babypook: thanks Jaime
