Bonnie Hunt: Television
Hunt turned down multiple opportunities to become a cast member of Saturday Night Live, because the show's producers generally frown on improvisation on the show.
In 1992, Hunt turned down a higher paying role on Designing Women
to costar in Davis Rules with
Jonathan Winters and Audrey Meadows. Hunt was also offered
Helen Hunt's role on Mad About You, but turned that down as well.
In 1993, Hunt teamed up with
David Letterman to produce
The Building for CBS. The sitcom was modeled after early 1950s television shows. The show was also filmed live; mistakes, accidents and forgotten lines were often left in the aired episode. The writing of the show tended to be very loose, which allowed the actors to improvise. Despite being praised by television critics, the show was soon cancelled.
Hunt and Letterman gave it another shot in 1995, with
The Bonnie Hunt Show (later retitled just Bonnie), which featured many of the same cast members as The Building and the same loose style. The show was once again praised by critics and soon cancelled. In 2002, Hunt returned to television with
Life with Bonnie; her role on that show earned her her first Emmy Award nomination in 2004. Unfortunately, it was also cancelled the same year.
