Laraine Newman on The Sisters Grimm, Finding Her Voice, and Why Mime Got Too Cute

Episode 1182
22m | Oct 5, 2026

Laraine Newman is all for scaring the kids a little. The Saturday Night Live original cast member talks with Kyle Meredith about returning as Granny Relda for season two of The Sisters Grimm, why the show’s mix of comedy and horror works just as well for adults, and how she can pull the character’s voice right back out of the trunk when it’s time to record. Newman also looks back at studying mime with Marcel Marceau, explains why she bailed when mime “got cute,” and admits it didn’t exactly inform her acting, although it did make her very good at Pilates. Along the way, Kyle and Newman also land on the career move nobody knew we needed: punk-rock mime.
