In 2011, Christina Applegate returned to TV once again with NBC’s “Up All Night.” On the show, she played Reagan, a new mom navigating parenthood with her stay-at-home husband, Chris (played by Will Arnett). In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Applegate shared her take on the star-studded sitcom, which also featured comedic talents like Maya Rudolph and Sean Hayes. “It’s a funny take [on raising a child] but it starts in a real place,” she said of the show. “All good comedy starts in a real place. Obviously, raising a child is ridiculous and funny and things happen.”
Applegate hit a bump in the road when the producers of “Up All Night” decided to revamp the show. Per Deadline, there was speculation that “Up All Night” was instead being pushed in the direction of a workplace comedy that would focus more on Rudolph’s character, who was Reagan’s boss on the series. Applegate subsequently left the sitcom after its second season.
Amid her departure, the actor released a statement published by Deadline that read, “It’s been a great experience working on ‘Up All Night,’ but the show has taken a different creative direction and I decided it was best for me to move on to other endeavors.” She added that along with the cast and crew of the show, she adored working with comedy mogul, Lorne Michaels, on “Up All Night” and was grateful for the opportunity to do so.
