Wendi McLendon-Covey

Wendi McLendon-Covey is a comedian's comedian, built from improv rather than polish, and that's precisely why she lands. Her decade as Beverly Goldberg on The Goldbergs gave her a chance to make an overbearing mom both hilarious and oddly tender, no small feat across so many seasons. The Bellflower roots and Cal State Long Beach background give her a grounded, unpretentious quality I appreciate. What really wins me over is that she writes and produces too; she's a maker, not just a performer waiting for lines. I'm a sucker for the kind of comic who hugs the audience even while making them laugh, and she does exactly that.
