Kat Dennings looks back on the roles, castmates and behind-the-scenes moments that shaped her career — from ‘2 Broke Girls’ and ‘The 40-Year-Old Virgin’ to ‘Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist’, ‘The House Bunny’, ‘Thor’ and beyond. She shares memories from the ‘2 Broke Girls’ set, including the unforgettable 100th-episode gift mix-up: Kat and Beth Behrs received luxury watches while Jennifer Coolidge got a solid gold one she immediately misplaced (“They shouldn’t give me fancy stuff,” Jennifer quipped). Kat recalls working opposite Steve Carell and Seth Rogen and adapting to Judd Apatow’s improvisational style in ‘The 40-Year-Old Virgin’, admitting she didn’t drive realistically in her scene because she didn’t have a license yet.
Kat reflects on shooting 40 nights straight on the streets of NYC for ‘Nick and Norah’, working with the late Bob Saget on ‘Raising Dad’, navigating wigs and tricky dance sequences in ‘The House Bunny’ and her intense ‘Thor’ audition, where Kenneth Branagh “really took a chance” on her. Kat even shares stories from her current series ‘Shifting Gears’ with Tim Allen and Lilly Singh, calling Tim “a real sweetheart… a gruff dude, but very tenderhearted.” From comedy sets to Marvel soundstages, she reflects with humor, gratitude and plenty of behind-the-scenes stories fans will love. Watch Kat in ‘Shifting Gears’, with new episodes Wednesdays at 8/7c on ABC.
