“So we called her manager up, who loved it, and who then talked to Lori, and she said: ‘I’m in, I’m totally game.’ And she was. She was so great. Everything we threw at her, she was game to do. She makes the episode. I’m so glad she wanted to do it.”Hilariously, the episode contained clear echoes of Loughlin's real-life scandal.
She fits right in, since David's character on the show is a man who always gets new chances even after offending the people around him. In Schaffer's words, "Larry is an uncancellable Blarney Stone. Maybe by rubbing Larry, it works for everyone else.”“It’s great to be able to laugh at yourself. It’s a great way to put the past behind you,” Schaffer said. “I hope it helps her career. She was great, and she should work. She was really funny and wonderful to work with.

College Admissions ScandalThe March 10 episode kicks off with Ted Danson asking Larry David to help the co-star of his play, who is Loughlin, get into David’s country club. Even though she served prison time for paying $500,000 to get her daughters into USC on false pretenses, Loughlin’s membership is approved after David gives a rousing speech to the club board. As Loughlin becomes a regular at the club, she starts to show her true colors. First, she flaunts a special flag that allows her access to the fairway on a carts-only day. She claims that she earned her disabled status by claiming she has Epstein-Barr. The next time David plays golf with Loughlin, he learns that she was able to secure a better tee time by tipping the starter $50. She later lies about her score on a particularly difficult hole, even though her ball ended up in the woods. “You had a good lie, all right,” he mumbles as she walks away. In 2020, Loughlin and her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy charges in connection with admissions scandal at USC.
