What had happened to the pulled-together, school-focused Jessie?
“I especially loved it because Mark-Paul and I have always been so close.
He’s such a good friend, dear friend.
And we got to really get more dramatic and juicy with it.
But she revealed more about what led to perhaps one of the most famous scenes from the show.
“But I remember the director just saying, ‘We got it.
Now just go for it.’
And so we did.
And that’s the one they kept.
And that’s the one that everyone seems to still like, you know, quoting and acting out.
I mean, I see things on Instagram in memes and you name it.
People kind of love it.”
It’s true we can all quote the scene, when Jessie sings, “I’m so excited.
I’m soo…scared.”
But even Berkley acknowledges, “Some people might say it was over the top.
But it was intense.
And Jessie was a little unhinged.”
To be fair, as director Don Barnhart toldThrillistin 2015, “It was a stretch for the show.
You gotta remember something.
