Hi, it's Jessie.

Today on the show, actress and comedian Nisi Nash Betts.

We get into all kinds of things, her amazing filmography, her friendship with Oprah, and why she's never single for long.

When I give you my attention, I am going to make sure that it feels like it's custom and not off the rack.

So it makes you the marrying kind.

They all want to wipe me.

You're going to want to stick around for this.

So I met Nisi back in 2008 when we were both on the failed Fox sitcom, Do Not Disturb.

Nisi was number one on the call sheet, which in Hollywood terms means that you are basically the star.

And the thing about the number one on the call sheet person is that they set the tone for the entire cast and crew.

And Nisi basically said, we're going to be having fun.

We're not here to cure cancer.

This is not rocket science.

We're here to make a show that's funny.

So we taped about five episodes, but it was canned after three. We were obviously disappointed that the show was canceled, but one of the great things that came out of that experience was my relationship with Nisi.

It was my first chance getting to work with her, and I just absolutely fell in love with her. This is Dinner's on Me and I'm your host, Jesse Tyler

Ferguson. Today I'm meeting Nisi at Gasolina Cafe in Woodland Hills. It's a

cafe serving of Spanish-inspired items like paella, patatas bravas, which took me three times to pronounce.

We're gonna do breakfast sandwiches all day,

two squajolas all day,

those pan-tomates all day.

Colorful, authentic, and loud.
