More Information
The show followed the staff at the fictional fashion magazine Blush. The show starred Maya Gallo, a neo-feminist writer, who reluctantly takes a job at the glamour magazine, owned by her father, the Trump-like Jack Gallo. The cast included womanizing (and usually over-sensitive) photographer Elliot DiMauro, and the heavy drinking and sexually promiscuous ex-model Nina Van Horn. David Spade was added to the cast after the show's original pilot for NBC, and proved to be the x-factor as smart-mouthed assistant Dennis Finch. While the show had been designed as something of a vehicle for San Giacomo, it quickly became Spade's ticket to stardom, also allowing for marked comebacks for the careers of Segal and Malick.
The first season also included Chris Hogan as Maya's roommate, Wally, who was dropped when the show quickly solidified as a workplace sitcom, making the Mary-Rhoda dynamic obsolete. Brian Posehn appeared as mail clerk Kevin Liotta (supposedly Ray Liotta's cousin) through much of the last four seasons. Rena Sofer, the only regular added during the run of the show, played young fashion savant Vicki Costa during the first half of the final season.
Notable actors appearing in a recurring or Guest star capacity included Rebecca Romijn (as Rebecca Romijn-Stamos, Spades tv wife), Brian Dennehy (as Dennis' father who gets engaged to Nina in an episode), David Cross (as Elliot's younger brother who pretends to be mentally disabled), Tyra Banks, Rhoda Gemignani, Stephen Root, Tom Kenny, Dave Foley, Amy Sedaris, French Stewart, Carmen Electra, Ray Liotta, Snoop Dogg and Paul Parducci as Deke "The Dekester" Williams.
The show was rooted in Levitan's earlier career as a writer for The Larry Sanders Show; he had once conceived of a story about Janeane Garofalo's character having to sit and talk with a vapid model with whom she had nothing in common. The idea went unproduced, but Levitan liked the dynamic and later used the idea to develop a pitch for NBC. Garofalo's persona would become a template for Maya Gallo.
