The Double Date – Yid Life Crisis — with Mayim Bialik
Actress plays no-nonsense neurosurgeon pre-screening her schmendrick suitors in less-than-romantic ‘YidLife Crisis’ episode
“Big Bang Theory” actress and attachment parenting guru Mayim Bialik guest stars in the episode as Chaya, a high-powered, no-nonsense neurosurgeon apparently set up by her mother on a blind date with Leizer, the slightly nebbishy character played by Batalion.
The two meet at a kosher sushi restaurant in Los Angeles, which is far from the series’ usual setting of Montreal. Chaya comes to the blind date with a long list of questions to ask Leizer. It’s her way of cutting to the chase and not wasting any of her precious time.
“As our mothers may have discussed, I’m interested in leading a traditional Jewish life. I’m seeking candidates. I know exactly what I want. I have all the questions right off the bat, so a blind date is just a more efficient way of seeing if this is even possible,” Bialik’s character states.
We live in a world of many identities, often living side by side and just as often on top of each other. Some of us are alone, others together, some beneath masks, others are less so, all of it plays out in families . . . as time goes by.
Warm regards,
Seth
