On June 2, 2009, Showtime held the Nurse Jackie Red Carpet Premiere at the Le Parker Meridien Hotel and Director’s Guild of America Tower.
Several celebrities made it out for the premiere, including show stars Anna Deavere Smith and Paul Schulze, as well as LL Cool J, Steve Buscemi and many more.
Even though Edie Falco was the night’s star, Daisy Tahan, who plays Nurse Jackie Peyton’s daughter Fiona Peyton, won the hearts of the carpet.
They say a party isn’t official until someone is caught having sex (which happened at the Dexter Season 3 Premiere Party at Showtime’s Metropolitan House in Gramercy Park) or someone is sent to the hospital. During the Premiere After Party, Merritt Wever, who plays Zoey Brakow, Jackie’s nurse in training, rushed to the lower level of the party exclaiming, “I think someone is like having a heart attack.” At first, we didn’t know if this was real. But sure enough, in about twenty minutes, EMT’s came through the party carrying an elderly woman away. From all appearances she was fine as she gave the crowd the thumbs up, while being carried away.
