For over a decade, Kaitlin Olson has been a pivotal part of one of TVs most stellar sitcom ensembles, playing Its Always Sunny in Philadelphias caustic, put upon bartender Deandra Sweet Dee Reynolds. An alumnus of the prestigious Groundlings improv troupe, Olsons place in modern pop culture is secure thanks to Dee, a brilliant comic creation whose deep neuroses and self delusion make her hilariously awful. Now, Olson is venturing to other side of TV production with The Mick, a new Fox sitcom set to debut on New Years Day. Co created by brothers and Sunny veterans John and Dave Chernin, The Mick stars Olson as Mackenzie Mickey Murphy, a rowdy party girl who assumes guardianship of her obscenely rich niece and nephews after her multimillionaire sister flees the country.

Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia is an American television black comedy sitcom that premiered on FX on August 4, 2005. It moved to FXX beginning with the ninth. While Sunny was created by her husband and co star Rob Mc. Elhenney, The Mick is Olsons first time anchoring a major project, and in her capacity as executive producer and leading lady, shes pushing to bring the kind of edgy comedy shes mastered on Sunny to network TV. During a break in her hectic shooting schedule, Olson spoke with Vulture about the differences between Dee and Mickey, getting pushback from Fox, and whether her young co stars get the shows very frank jokes about sex and drugs. How much input did you have in developing the Mickey character John and Dave came to me with a fully formed pilot script, and I really loved it, so in terms of creating the character, I think they were about 8. It was such a good script. I couldnt say no, then I sort of massaged it into my own thing. But producing does give me the ability to have some creative control, in terms of the content and hiring the actors and editing. I just feel like it helps make it the show I want it to be. When youre just acting in something, you kind of do what everyone tells you to do. I mean, that doesnt happen on Sunny. I can bring my own aesthetic to that. But this has sort of become my baby. Weve really become a good team, John and Dave and I. Its nice because theres three of us, so if two of us agree on something the other person is just out.

Theyre good friends of mine. It was a pretty easy decision to do this show. Were a good match. We have the same sense of humor, and they want to make the same show that I want to make. You seem to be working on a much larger scale with The Mick. Whats it like jumping to network TVYeah, and it pops up in different areas. Like marketing and publicity. Im finding myself doing a lot more for this show than Ive ever done before. When we started Sunny, we were the teeniest, tiniest little show with no budget. We can do a lot more in season one of The Mick. Now that Sunny is in its 1. Im feeling the difference being on a network show versus being on cable. Has your experience on a lean, low budget show helped to make this production go faster or run smoother Yknow, its really a different animal. On Sunny, were not working with kids every single day, and thats certainly something that has to be taken into consideration. On Sunny, the main actors are adults and were all friends and we all have the same sense of humor, so theres a lot of improvising. Thats limited a little bit here. We do work with the kids a bit on improv, because I still want to be able to do that and I want them to feel the freedom to do it. But its very new to them. Theyre used to being told what to do and not really having an opinion on it. I encourage them to bring their own energy. If they have their own ideas  or what they think their character would do in a certain situation or what they think their character would say  then we can play around a little bit. But that mainly means that the days run longer. Sunny is a well oiled machine by this point, so we get in and out. Were still finding our way on The Mick. But that also makes it more fun, because its still really fresh and new. Mickey isnt exactly like Dee, but both are pretty willing to indulge their urges without a second thought. As an actress, how do make sure youre not repeating yourselfThat was definitely my main concern when I first read the script. I thought it was really funny, and I knew I could make it special, but I thought hard about whether I could make Mickey different from Dee. The main difference for me is that Dee is deeply insecure, and everything she does stems from her desire to make the rest of the gang like her and want to include her. Thats the only reason I can wrap my head around her staying in this bar for 1. Mickey honestly does not care what anybody else thinks about her. She is completely independent, and does whatever she wants to do. Shes much stronger than Dee. I think Dee is hilarious, but shes a very weak character. Watch Gone Girl Online. Did you play any characters like Dee and Mickey in your improv days Not specifically, but in Groundlings, youre playing like a million characters and youre all over the place. I like playing these characters who are just on the edge of ridiculous, but always grounded in reality. I would never want to come across as a cartoon. I think you can do that in a lot of different ways. Theres a really wonderful way to play dumb characters, as long as it doesnt get ditzy. Theres a really great way to play an insecure character, as long as it doesnt get wimpy. You know what I meanThats what I love doing finding ways to make a personality as extreme as you can before it starts to get goofy. Does Mickey spring from any personal experience, or is she purely imagined Im fascinated by people who dont care what people think of them, because I have spent pretty much my entire life trying to learn that skill. I grew up as a shy little girl who took note of everything you were supposed to do and not supposed to do. I recognized at some point in my 2. I became fascinated by people who know how to be comfortable in their own skin, even when they know someone else is upset with them. I think thats why I love this Mickey character so much. She really doesnt care  and I do. But Im getting much better at letting that roll off. I dont know, Im getting very deep here. Id just say that Im fascinated with that personality. My husband has a little bit of that, and I respect it so much. Hes such a great guy, and a team player, and a wonderful boss, but he also actively practices being comfortable with people not liking him. Hes not a Mickey, though, dont get me wrong. Has it been tricky for you and Rob, juggling Sunny, your separate projects, plus raising your kids We thought it was going to be, but its just worked out that when I got really busy with The Mick, he was deep into writing the Minecraft movie and could make his own schedule. During the times when Ive been gone in the mornings, hes been able to be daddy and get them breakfast and get them dressed and get them off to school. And then Im usually there at night. Its working out nicely. Around the time Im wrapping The Mick, thats when hell go off and shoot the movie. Hopefully well be able to keep balancing it. Right now were taking it one day at a time. The kids are our number one priority, so well always make sure that one of us is there. Living in L. A., have you met any kids as rich and spoiled as the characters on The Mick No, no. I have not come across children like this. If I did, I would not be friends with their parents for very long. I dont think its about how much money you have, its what kind of person you are and what kind of parent you want to be. These kids are spoiled brats because they have horrible parents and terrible influences. Ultimately, I think thats why this show works. You root for Mickey because she takes the place of two people who should not be parenting these children. Her sister and her sisters husband are horrible, horrible people.
