Moshman92:  Do you get nervous?
 
LEAH REMINI:  Yes.  As far as the show is concerned.  Once the audience
laughs,  I'm comfortable.  So I usually deal with it by being very up... I
make jokes with the people on the set... I smoke a pack of cigarettes... and
I always have my mother in the front row of the audience.
