hollybrookeKatherine Heigl appeared on "The Late Show with David Letterman" on Monday night, where the actress described her first day back on the "Grey's Anatomy" set as "cruel and mean."
"Our first day back was Wednesday, and it was -- I'm going to keep saying this because I hope it embarrasses them -- a 17-hour day, which I think is cruel and mean,' Katherine told Dave.
The talk-show funnyman jokingly asked Katherine if she was given a lunch break during her 17-hour day, to which she joked back, saying:
"Yes, we do get an hour lunch. That was nice. Thank God for that hour of lunch."
Katherine did not reveal the fate of her "Grey's" character Izzie on the medical drama's upcoming season, but she did discuss what it was like returning to the set without her friend and former co-star T.R. Knight:
"It was actually kind of really great to be back. All my friends are there and at this point, they're sort of like family, but it was a little weird because [T.R.]'s not there anymore."
As for what happens to Izzie, Katherine said: "So, I won't give it away but, you know, I'm there so I'm either there as a ghost, on the other side or I survived a disease no one survives."
"Grey's Anatomy"'s new season will premiere Sept. 24 on ABC.

Oh, honey, you did not just start bitching about working a 17-hour day, did you? And how much of this grueling 17 hours are you spending actually in front of a camera? How much of this is spent in hair and makeup, sitting in a nice cushy chair in an air-conditioned trailer? How much do you get paid again? Something around $150,000 an episode? God, $150,000 alone would be enough for me to go back to college, finish up, pay off my car and get my own house, for crying out loud! And she has the nerve to bitch about working a 17-hour day. And oh, thank God for the hour-long lunch break. I'm lucky to be able to wolf down my food within the little fifteen-minute breaks I get at my job.
Lemme tell you something, Katie Heigl. I know people who work two full-time jobs just to be able to make ends meet for craptacular wages. They pull double shifts, they get no sleep, they are exhausted as hell, and these jobs usually entail manual labor. But they do it because they have mortgages and bills to take care of and food to put in the fridge. And they sure as hell don't get anywhere close to $150,000 a year. They have every right to complain, in my opinion. You, Katherine Heigl, don't. You're just an overrated, overpaid Hollywood actress who wouldn't know what real work is all about.
You know, I think Alec Baldwin put it the best in an interview he did not too long ago. He said something about what makes an actor an actor is their dedication to their craft. They can put in long hours on a movie set, doing the same elaborate stunt or take over and over and wanting to do it over and over because they know they can "do it better" and they never complain about it because "it comes with the job, it's what we do."
