The Mommies is the name of an American female former comedy duo whose comedic trademark was their real-life tales of suburban life, domestication, family, marriage and other odds and ends.
[1] The duo consisted of Marilyn Kentz and Caryl Kristensen, who met as neighbors in Petaluma, California in the late 1980s.
In 1993 they landed their first major starring roles in The Mommies, a series loosely based on their family life and experiences as suburban neighbors in Petaluma, California.
[3] In 1996 the duo returned to TV with a daytime talk show called Caryl & Marilyn: Real Friends.
The show was produced by Viacom Productions (now CBS Media Ventures) and aired on ABC for one year before being replaced by The View in 1997.
