Tyne Daly on Live With Regis (Transcript)

Live With Regis - October 9, 2000

Regis: HERE SHE COMES NOW. SHE PLAYS AMY'S VERY OPINIONATED MOTHER MAXINE IN THE POPULAR DRAMA SERIES "JUDGING AMY." AND HERE'S FIVE-TIME EMMY WINNER TYNE DALY.

Joy: GOOD TO SEE YOU.

Regis: YES, TYNE DALY.

Tyne: YES, HELLO.

Regis: SO GOOD TO SEE YOU.

THANK YOU.

Tyne: I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU SINCE YOU'VE MADE SUCH AN ENORMOUS SUCCESS, AND I HAVE TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS.

Regis: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Tyne: IT'S REALLY SENSATIONAL. THIS THING IS SO BIG THAT EVERYBODY'S TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO TURN THEIR SHOW INTO A GAME SHOW. SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER THERE WAS A SHOW CALLED "GREED." IT LASTED A COUPLE OF SECONDS. WE THOUGHT ABOUT "JUDGING GREEDY AMY." MY PERSONAL FAVORITE IS "WHO WANTS TO BE A JUVENILE JUDGE?"

Regis: THERE YOU GO. YOU'LL EXCUSE THE ODOR HERE, TYNE DALY.

Tyne: THE BACKSTAGE IS VERY INTERESTING.

Regis: I'LL BET.

Tyne: YES, IT IS. IT SMELLS A LITTLE BIT LIKE THE ZOO USED TO SMELL.

Regis: YES, THE PERRIGRINE FALCON JUST TRIED TO GET OUT OF HERE AT 200 MILES AN HOUR.

Tyne: YES, IT'S GOING TO TAKE A WHILE FOR THAT TO LIFT, BUT WE'RE GOING TO RISE ABOVE.

Regis: WE HAD YOUR BROTHER TIM ON THE SHOW ON FRIDAY.

Tyne: TIM, YES.

Regis: ABOUT "THE FUGITIVE" SERIES.

Tyne: I KNOW ABOUT IT. I'VE HEARD OF IT.

Regis: I'M SURE YOU HAVE. YOU CAN'T TUNE TO CBS WITHOUT SEEING SOMEBODY FLY OFF A GIRDER OR SOMETHING.

Tyne: IT'S THE WANTED POSTERS ALL OVER THE CITY IN L.A. I SAID TO MOM, AREN'T YOU PROUD OF TIMMY? HE'S ON WANTED POSTERS ALL OVER TOWN. I THINK IT'S A WONDERFUL SHOW. HE'S BEAUTIFUL IN IT.

Regis: YEAH, HE'S -- HE'S A GOOD GUY AND HE GAVE HIS SISTER THIS.

Tyne: UH-OH. IS THIS A TRICK DEAL?

Regis: NO, NO.

Tyne: IT HASN'T BEEN OPENED. THIS IS FROM MY BROTHER TIM?

Regis: IF YOU SAW THE SHOW ON FRIDAY YOU SAW TIM LEAVE THAT FOR YOU.

Tyne: LET'S SEE. I'M DOING THIS WITHOUT MY GLASSES. CALL ME BACK. LOVE YOUR BROTHER.

Joy: YOU DON'T ANSWER YOUR CALLS.

Tyne: HE HAS HIS PHONE IN THE CAR, AND IT'S UNSAFE. HE HASN'T CALLED ME FROM ANYPLACE BUT THE CAR FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS. HE'S A VERY BUSY MAN.

Regis: I DELIVERED THE MESSAGE.

Tyne: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Regis: NOW, FRIDAY NIGHT WAS VERY EXCITING HERE IN NEW YORK. THEY HAD A FRIAR'S ROAST FOR ROB REINER. AND THIS WAS THE VERY FIRST ROAST THAT YOU WENT TO, RIGHT?

Tyne: YES, MY VERY FIRST ONE.

Joy: WERE YOU ON THE DAIS?

Tyne: I WAS. I DON'T KNOW WHY. IT WAS VERY INTERESTING. THERE WAS MICHAEL SPINX AND ME AND FRANCES STERN HAGUEN AND PATTY HEARST. YOU CAN HARDLY GET A GROUP LIKE THAT IN ONE PLACE.

Regis: YOU'VE HEARD WORDS YOU'VE NEVER HEARD IN YOUR SAINTED LIFE.

Tyne: NO. I'M CERTAINLY FAMILIAR WITH ALL THOSE WORDS. THEY WERE JUST BEING PUT TOGETHER IN VARIOUS INTERESTING COMBINATIONS. IT WAS KIND OF FUN. IT WAS FUN TO GO. I ADMIRE MR. REINER A LOT.

Regis: HE'S A GOOD FILM MAKER.

Tyne: YEAH. THE PRINCESS BRIDE IS LIKE ON MY TOP FIVE LIST OF MOVIES. THAT'S THE ONE.

Regis: OKAY. WHEN WE COME BACK, WE'RE GOING TO TALK A LITTLE ABOUT AMY AND AMY'S MOTHER. DON'T GO AWAY.

(Commercial break.)

Regis: TYNE DALY WITH US NOW PLAYS AMY'S MOTHER IN "JUDGING AMY." THIS IS REALLY THE CENTRAL CHARACTER OF THE SHOW. I MEAN, IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT THE MOTHER, RIGHT, AND HER REACTION TO HER DAUGHTER?

Tyne: NO, IT'S ABOUT THE JUDGE WHO COMES HOME TO LIVE WITH THE MOM. I DON'T KNOW. IT'S STARTED OUT TO BE THE TWO OF US BECAUSE MAXINE GRAY WORKS AS A SOCIAL WORKER, WHICH IS THE BEGINNING OF DEALING WITH SOCIAL PROBLEMS, AND HER DAUGHTER, WHO IS A JUDGE, OUTRANKS HER AND IS AT THE TOP OF THAT SYSTEM WHERE, YOU KNOW, THE JUDGMENTS GO DOWN. SO IT'S AN INTERESTING DYNAMIC.

Regis: THIS IS A REAL LIVE CHARACTER.

Tyne: IT'S BASED ON AMY'S MOTHER EXPERIENCE AS A JUVENILE COURT JUDGE IN CONNECTICUT, THE SECOND FEMALE JUDGE IN CONNECTICUT. SHE STILL IS. FREDERICA IS STILL A JUDGE. SHE'S A CONSULTING JUDGE NOW.

Regis: GOOD FOR HER. IN THIS PARTICULAR SCENE, MAXINE MAKES THE FAMILY AWARE OF HER LATE DAD'S BIRTHDAY. TAKE A LOOK AT TYNE DALY IN ACTION.

Regis: WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH TYNE DALY IN A MOMENT.

(Commercial break.)

Regis: JOY, THANKS VERY MUCH FOR PINCH-HITTING. TYNE, HAVE A GREAT SEASON OPENER, TOMORROW NIGHT AT 10:00 ON CBS, "JUDGING AMY" FOR ANOTHER GREAT SEASON OF TV.
