Kaley Cuoco Calls 'The Flight Attendant' the Highlight of Her Career, Previews Season 2 Kate Aurthur, provided by FacebookTwitterEmail “The Flight Attendant,” Kaley Cuoco’s HBO Max dramedy-thriller, premiered to rave reviews on Thanksgiving — and the buzz for it built as episodes dropped through December. “It’s definitely been my baby,” Cuoco said during a recent interview with Variety for the magazine’s Feb. 24 cover. “I don’t mean to be cheesy, but this has definitely been the highlight of my entire career.” The project was born out of Cuoco’s nighttime scroll through Amazon in July 2017, where she saw the listing for Chris Bohjalian’s upcoming novel. She then proceeded to get the rights to the book, resulting in the first live-action series produced by Cuoco’s Yes, Norman Productions. (The company also produces “Harley Quinn” for HBO Max, the delightfully filthy animated offering in which Cuoco voices the title role.) “The Flight Attendant” has now yielded Cuoco a Golden Globe nomination in the best actress in a comedy or musical category; the show has been nominated as well. Cuoco also got a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for her performance as Cassie, an alcoholic flight attendant with a traumatic past, and the ensemble cast was nominated, too.
