Description

Jewish in identity, but not in faith; "very superstitious", a believer in ghosts but not God; envisions practicing her Jewish traditions in the future, as a mother; she recites a nightly prayer she said as a kid; a rollicking interview with a very funny writer.

 

Niki Schwartz-Wright (Writer/Producer on The Goldberg's, The Grinder, Speechless, Abby's) visits the show, and she assures a relieved Nicholas that he was hardly the most offensive guest at her wedding (by the way, she's married to Will Greenberg, from the last episode!).  Niki doesn't practice her Jewish faith today, but she does feel a strong connection to it, and she wonders if she might take on some of the ritual aspects of it in the future.  Niki describes herself as very superstitious, but she doesn't believe in God.  She does believe in ghosts, and definitely doesn't want to end up as one when she's dead.  She also recites the most adorable and funny prayer she said as a kid, all the while revealing how adept she is at hedging her bets.     

 

Something that keeps confusing me: Jewish Confirmation.
