    It is a running theme, or at least a running gag, for Eileen Rand, portrayed by Anjelica Huston, to throw a drink in the face of her husband (who Eileen is divorcing), Jerry Rand, portrayed by Michael Cristofer. She has done it three times in the first three episodes. It is enough of a gag to be spoofed on the February 20, 2012 showing of 'Late Night with Jimmy Fallon (2009)' when Huston threw a drink in Jimmy Fallon's face. In Season 2, throwing a drink at the camera became Eileen's signature shot in the opening credits.
