In particular with this, the way she presented it, she said, "I'm going to send you some pages, if you're open to it, see how you feel, and if you have tweaks to make, let us know. And my willingness with comedy, in general, is to go for it. And it was actually a really fun conversation because I think, with most things, she saw I have a great sense of humor. Or where I stand with it, at this point in my life and career. If you obviously don't want to do it, we'll just kill it right here." What was so incredible is when she started to share it with me, Tracey and I had never really talked about Showgirls at all. She came to me and said, "Listen, we've tossed something around this season. She will often take a temperature check to see how does this feel creatively, personally, artistically. But at the same time, she is extremely sensitive to all of us cast members. For me, the relationship to it is joyful.ELIZABETH BERKLEY LAUREN: is an unbelievably collaborative showrunner and strong leader and woman. "There is this generosity towards the film and celebration of the film among a new generation of creatives, and that is exciting. "We knew that the visual cue needed to be strong and not just give a suggestion of it, but, "Oh yeah, we're going there…” It's like, if we're going to go for it, we're going for it… "There are so many iconic looks to Nomi that we just said, "You know what? The genius move would be to do the last hitchhiking scene" because that's where she was her most liberated. What other genius could come up with that?… Where would she find that fierceness? Let's say her Sasha Fierce, in a way. She's trying to find a sense of self again… But the genius move of all time was that Tracey and the writers came to find that a fun way for Jessie to find her inner strength was a mantra of, what would Nomi do? And so that, that is what birthed this moment. "First of all, the outfit had to be just right… We start the season off where Jessie herself is in the middle of a life crisis and a divorce. If you obviously don't want to do it, we'll just kill it right here…” " came to me and said, "Listen, we've tossed something around this season. I just wanted to acknowledge that, I'm aware of that and love how it's been embraced and that's a beautiful thing… "The way that exists today in pop culture is different, of course, than when it came out. Berkley explained that her feelings have softened quite a bit with the critical reappraisal of the film, and she wanted to show that, " I'm aware of that and love how it's been embraced and that's a beautiful thing." She also loved the way the gag was built into an important character moment, positioning Nomi Malone as " Jessie's Sasha Fierce" alter ego where she can channel her self-confidence. The joke was a pitch by the showrunner, who hadn't previously spoken with Berkley about her feelings about Showgirls and wanted to run the idea by her to make sure it was a good fit for her. Speaking with EW, Elizabeth Berkley explained the origin of that gag and how she felt about its inclusion in the series.
