My Take

My husband Scot gave me Baby Don’t Hurt Me as an anniversary gift.  Early in our marriage (before we had kids), we would take in shows at the Groundlings Theater in mid-town Los Angeles.  Chris Kattan (along with Will Ferrell, Cheri Oteri and Lisa Kudrow) is one of the Groundlings that we saw on a regular basis and he was hilarious (especially his Mr. Peepers sketch which worked particularly well in a live performance).  It was fun to read about Kattan’s life and show business experiences and take a trip down memory lane.
