Cardi B might be adding a huge TV credit to her resume.
Fran Drescher previously expressed interest in casting the rapper as her daughter in a reboot of beloved 1993–99 sitcom The Nanny — and she’s working to make it happen.
Speaking to ExtraTV at Universal Studios Hollywood, Drescher said she’s in talks with Cardi B‘s team about the potential project.
“[I’m] talking to her representation,” she said. “It’s really getting me excited. It’s fresh and it could be super fun.”
Drescher, 61, said she first got the idea after Cardi B, 26, paid homage to the actress when she stepped out in September wearing a head-to-toe cheetah ensemble during Milan’s Fashion Week, attributing her look to Drescher on Instagram.
“She started it because she kind of paid homage to me, putting our pictures side by side when she was wearing animal print and it was me in animal from The Nanny and that just went viral,” Drescher said. “That got my creative juices going.”
“She’s got a funny voice, too,” she added. “What kind of a great mother/daughter would we be? Amazing, I think.”
