"Extra" correspondent Adrianna Costa was on the set of the new fall comedy, "2 Broke Girls," starring Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs. The girls had a special shoutout for Mario Lopez, giggling, "Hi, AC!"
The smart and funny sitcom is about two waitresses who become best friends and dream of opening a cupcake shop. Behrs, who in real life once worked at Chili's, recalled, "I dropped a whole tray of drinks on a party of ten on my first night."
Dennings, in show biz since the age of 10, said, "I haven't had any jobs besides acting, but I have done some objectionable acting work in my life... you guys don't even know!" Adrianna inquired, "Did you have to bare anything?" The actress replied, "No! Not that kind!"
Check out "2 Broke Girls," Monday at 8:30/7:30c on CBS.
