Remezcla caught up with Jimenez to talk about landing The Mick, flipping the Latina maid archetype on its head, and doting on her “cat-dogs.” Check out some highlights from our chat below. Just look at the show’s second episode where we see her let loose on the dance floor after Mickey slips some drugs in her new BFF’s drink. Or in the latest episode, where she finds time while looking for the Pemberton kids at a party to give a bongo-filled rendition of “The Lion Sleeps Tonight.” It’s the kind of three-dimensional and all-out hilarious role Jimenez has always longed to play. You see, Alba is not your average “Latina maid in a sitcom.” Not only do her own misadventures get equal time in each episode, but she’s never a punchline. Best-known for her work as Rosa on Raising Hope and Blanca in Last Man Standing, the Cali-born actress is having a great time chewing into this meaty role. Thankfully she has some help in the Pemberton’s actual help: Alba, their maid, played by Carla Jimenez.īut that description alone doesn’t do justice to what The Mick creators Dave and John Chernin have gifted Jimenez. And while day-drinking and devil-may-care Mickey loves nothing more than to live in her niece and nephews’ mansion, she’s not quite adept at the whole parenting thing. The affluent Pembertons, who are on the run from the law after being accused of fraud and tax evasion, have left their three spoiled children in the care of Olson’s Mickey. Fox’s new sitcom The Mick, starring It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia‘s very funny Kaitlin Olson, takes place in Greenwich, Connecticut. ![]()
