The great MelissaMccarthy poses the question: does it really matter if it’s yogurt or ranch “when you're shotgunning it down your throat?”
video series, McCarthy looks back on the 2011 sketch — one performed during the first of her five times as host — where she plays an enthusiastic Hidden Valley Ranch fan named Linda, one of three consumers asked to taste test some new products. To prove her dedication as a ranch lover — and to earn a little cash — Linda eventually squirts the bottle of ranch all over her face, chugging a portion of it large enough to cover a salad bar.
McCarthy is "a big fan of the HVR," she tells host Alexis Wilson, but when she discovered the probiotic yogurt drink Kefir, she decided to use it as a ranch substitute, acknowledging that "when you're shotgunning it down your throat," the difference isn't that significant. "When I think about it, I kinda really love ranch," McCarthy adds. "So I don't know that I couldn't have just [drank ranch dressing]… but there's a lot of logistics to that."
And McCarthy only has herself to blame: She created the character, writing and performing a version of the sketch when she was part of L.A.'s Groundlings. "At the time I was like, 'This will be a great idea,'" she recalls. "And then doing it three times a week, I was like, 'Hmmm, this is difficult to get down the third time.'"— aimed to please the audience, even if it meant dousing her face in yogurt...and drinking huge amounts of it.
