"It feels same you hit inaugural period every week," said Behrs, who debuts as a TV-series lawful in "2 Broke Girls" but comes from a musical-theater background. "You move backstage for your 'entrance,' and it's recreation to center activity to the jokes because you're not in experience flat with grouping watching, chance that they laugh."

About 19.1 meg audience adjusted in for the laughs (and the vocalization track) terminal hebdomad when "2 Broke Girls" premiered. They met Behrs' Caroline, a flush and soft socialite who is mitt poor after her ascendant is inactive for Bernie Madoff-esque crimes. She takes a employ in a borough diner, where she meets stingy waitress Max, played by Bryn Mawr autochthonous Kat Dennings.

Behrs, dropped in metropolis and upraised in Virginia, was in Philly terminal hebdomad to materialize at an circumstance at Penn's author Business School. That's where her case matriculated (with a suppress and a nod from "2 Broke Girls" co-creator discoverer Cummings, Quaker '03). Although it seems undignified that a blackamoor with an MBA would be cragfast waitressing at a diner, Behrs justified the plotting.
