During their conversation, Sandra revealed why Shonda Rhimes turned her down for the role of Olivia Pope on the hit series, which went to Kerry.

“I’ve got to tell you, I remember exactly where I was when I read that damn pilot,” Sandra revealed.

“Really?” Kerry asked.

“Oh yeah. I was on Grey’s. We were on stage five. Someone snuck it to me, I don’t know who it was, but I got my hands on that pilot and I read it and I was just like, ‘How could I play Olivia Pope?’” Sandra continued.

“Oh, for sure!” Kerry added.

“I remember going to Shonda, and it’s like, ‘How could I do this? What is this script? Could I do this too?’ She goes, ‘No, you’ve got to play Cristina Yang!’” Sandra explained.

Sandra also revealed her own theory about this Killing Eve finale…

Katie Lowes teamed up with Jimmy to pull off a prank on Josh, which aired on Jimmy Kimmel Live after the show’s series finale.

Josh thought that he and Katie were going to visit some massive Scandal fans while they watched an episode, but what he didn’t know was that the family was actually just three actors. When they walked into the house, Josh set off a confetti canon and the elderly woman in the family appeared to have a heart attack on the couch.
