Swoosie Kurtz: My 'Mike & Molly' Role Tickles My 'Sexual Funny Bone' (VIDEO)

Swoosie Kurtz loves playing Joyce Flynn, Molly's sexually free, outspoken mom on 'Mike & Molly.' Kurtz said Thursday on 'The Talk' (weekdays, syndicated on CBS) that she takes pride in how her character busts the mom stereotype, calling Joyce "the naughtiest, bawdiest, juiciest woman on television of my age rank."

Sharon Osbourne, who is 58, agreed, saying she related to the character, which Kurtz seemed happy to hear. "It's just so wonderful to be able to see, to allow a woman in my age range to be so sexually, wildly inappropriate but outspoken," said Kurtz. "We're so used to seeing it from hot, upscale young women in New York City, like on 'Sex and the City,' and you kind of expect that. I just think it's wonderful."

And in case you missed it when she said it earlier, Kurtz reiterated her point. "It's really, really naughty," she said. "The show just tickles my sexual funny bone." That should encourage a few new viewers to tune in.
