Rachael Ray: Rachael's Daytime Talkshow

The Good Wife's Maura Tierney

Aired on: October 11, 2012

When Maura Tierney joined the cast of The Good Wife, it made one person in particular very happy — her mom. "I was on a show called The Whole Truth, which debuted the same season that The Good Wife did," she tells Rachael. "But my mother, all she could talk about was The Good Wife! I'd be home visiting and she'd go, 'What time is it?! I have to watch The Good Wife!' So I boycotted that show for a while, but then I started watching it last year and I'm a huge fan."
