S26E11: Annie Potts

You know actress Annie Potts from basically everything – as the sardonic but unflappable receptionist in Ghostbusters, a newly divorced working mom in Designing Women, the voice of Bo Peep in the Toy Story series, and of course, as MeeMaw to Young Sheldon. But while she’s built a career with marvelous staying power, for a long time, it seemed that she’d never have that experience in the love department. Until her fourth husband (yes, really) showed up 35 years ago or so.
