Background
editDrescher described what she would bring to the program: "I'm thrilled to be able to bring The Fran Drescher Tawk Show to daytime TV, which fits me hand in glove," and added that "It will cover all of my passions, everything from pedicures to politics. America will have a chance to see the real Fran Drescher, beyond The Nanny. I'm the girl next door, a self-made woman who has been to hell and back a few times."[6] The house band on the show was led by Foo Fighters and Wallflowers member Rami Jaffee.
