Summary

Jess is joined by Emmy-winning exec. producer and writer on ALL SIX SEASONS of SEX AND THE CITY, Jenny Bicks! Jenny reveals how Samantha’s cancer storyline was based on her own experience beating breast cancer and how Steve is based on her husband. Plus, her own personal contributions to Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte. We discuss specific episodes she wrote, including “Splat” (Lexi Featherston - Kristen Johnston falls out a window), “A Woman’s Right to Shoes,” “Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda” (Miranda discovers she is pregnant) and key episodes around the Big / Carrie / Aiden affair. We also discuss parallels between SATC and RHONY, plus her work on DAWSON’S CREEK.

0:00.0	Welcome back to Hot Takes & Deep Thives, and Jenny Bix is an incredibly prolific, Emmy-winning
0:22.1	writer and producer having executive produced The Big C with Laura Linney written the
0:27.4	screenplay for The Greatest Showman. She wrote on Seinfeld and Dawson's Creek, which we're
0:33.7	not skipping over Jenny. Bring it, bring it. But let's face it, the reason for the season
0:39.4	is that Jenny Bix was also the co-executive producer and wrote on all six seasons of Sex
0:46.8	and the City. Jenny Bix, we have a lot to discuss. Bring it. How are you? Thank you so much
0:56.4	for doing this. This is like, I'm good. I'm excited to chat. So you're a New Yorker, right?
1:02.7	Like, I know you live in LA now, but aren't you a New Yorker? I am. I'm a born and bred Manhattan girl.

1:49.6	but that's for another call. That's for another time. Do you want me to tell you?
1:55.3	Can I have one more guess? Yeah, you can. I think you can get it. If you, you know, just think
2:01.3	was it an all-girl school? It was. It was. And still is.
2:05.7	Brearly. I went to Brearly. I did. You know, who else? I don't know if you're going to get this.
2:10.8	So I, another guest of mine went to Brearly. Do you, this is so niche, but did you watch America?
