“Pilot” (S1E01) with Special Guest America Ferrera
Welcome to Still Ugly! An Ugly Betty rewatch podcast. On today's episode of Still Ugly, we are diving right into Season One, Episode One: Pilot. Ugly duckling Betty Suarez tries to fit in at Mode Magazine, but her boss, Daniel Meade, makes her life miserable. Despite being humiliated, Betty proves her worth at the magazine with an original idea celebrating mothers, daughters, and the power of fashion. For our very special first episode, Michael and Becki are joined by Ugly Betty herself, America Ferrera! It’s an emotional reunion. The three friends laugh and share stories of what the show has meant to them in the 20 years since it first aired. Did you know Michael wasn’t even supposed to be in the show after the pilot? Or that Vanessa Williams almost wasn’t in the show at all? From Becki’s skimpy outfits to Tony Plana cooking flan for the whole cast, there’s so much to talk about— and it’s only episode one!
Still Ugly is produced by Rabbit Grin Productions. Theme song by Jeff Beal.Executive Producers: Rob Holysz, Natalie Holysz, Jeph PorterCreative Producer: Jesse ThurstonEditing and Mix/Master: Chris Faller
