In a PEOPLE exclusive clip from Sherman’s appearance, the comic’s character has a rough start with Olivia (Lisa LoCicero), Ned (Wally Kurth), Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton), Tracy (Jane Elliot) and Lois when Ms. Finch criticizes Olivia for the way she pronounces “croissant.”

“I don’t know who you are, or what you’re doing in my living room, but I’ll pronounce my French pastries just the way I eat them,” Olivia retorts while chewing.

“Incorrectly?” Ms. Finch muses.

Ned stands up from his chair, rushing to Olivia’s aide. “Anyway she wants,” he says.

Ms. Finch briefly analyzes Olivia’s accent and guesses where she’s from.

“Brooklyn. 15th Avenue and 85th Street, perhaps a bit farther inland, but no more than 83rd?” Ms. Finch asks.

“Okay, that’s creepy. She got Olivia right down to the cross street,” Brook Lynn says, astounded.

“It’s the ‘ah’ in her ‘croissant,’” Ms. Finch replies. “The closer to Bath Beach, the more nasal the tone.”

Ned and Lois wonder aloud who Ms. Finch could be.

“Are you a reporter here to get dirt on the murder?” Lois asks.

“I’m Robin Finch. I’m a dialect theorist and tutor to the stars,” Ms. Finch explains, walking over to her. “And you must be Lois Cerullo! My new student.”

The instructor offers her hand for Lois to shake, wearing a grin.
