"  It&amp;#039;s no secret that we&amp;#039;re obsessed with all-things Scandal. We love the stars, the wardrobe, and especially the fans aka Gladiator Nation. Right now, we&amp;#039;re in love with Tangela Ekhoff and her hilarious episode recaps. This super fan and mom of three from Oklahoma captured even Scandal creator Shona Rhimes&amp;#039; heart with her latest video, in which she laments the Scandal hiatus that is killing all of us. Tangela&amp;#039;s advice? &amp;quot;Just look at pictures of Tony Goldwyn, people!&amp;quot; In the interest of becoming best friends with Tangela, we called her up to talk life and Scandal (duh). Cosmo: So, what did you do when you found out Shonda Rhimes had seen your video? Tangela Ekhoff: When Shonda tweeted at me, I literally did a wall slide. I just think it&amp;#039;s so cool that the cast and crew have seen my videos! C: Why did you start making these YouTube videos? TE: Really, it was out of boredom and my love for Scandal. I do it for fun and for myself. It&amp;#039;s my own way to do sit-down comedy without leaving my house. I had no idea it would morph into this big deal. C: What&amp;#039;s your process to making your recaps? TE: I watch the episodes two or three times before I film. I may have an idea or two that I want to include, but I mostly improvise. That&amp;#039;s where my years of comedy training comes in. C: Is that your day job? A comic? TE: No, I&amp;#039;m a life coach, public speaker and recovering stand-up comic. That means I don&amp;#039;t go to clubs. I do speaking gigs. It&amp;#039;s hard to do stand-up comedy when you have children! C: If you had to choose between Tony Goldwyn and Columbus Short, who would you pick? TE: I&amp;#039;m a Tony Goldwyn kind of girl. I have been since Ghost. My love for him runs deep and long. Although, Columbus Short is really cute. But I&amp;#039;m old enough to be his mother! C: Do you feel like you are the Queen of the fandom? TE: No, I feel like the mama. Being the queen would mean I&amp;#039;d have to be diplomatic. I like being the mama because that means I can put people in time-out. Ha! C: What do you think about the craziness that surrounds the show? TE: I think these past three weeks, while the show has been on hiatus, we&amp;#039;ve seen exactly how engaged the show is with the fans. It&amp;#039;s going to be one crazy summer without Scandal. C: What would you like to see happen on Scandal? TE: I want to know all of Harrison&amp;#039;s deep, dark secrets. I want Huck and Quinn to go on a righteous killing spree. I want Abby to stop putting her fist in David Rosen&amp;#039;s mouth! I want over the top, jaw- dropping, I-know-she-didn&amp;#039;t drama of Mellie allowing a divorce to happen. And I want Olivia and Fitz living happily ever after. I am planning an epic pretend wedding. C: In your &amp;quot;From the Fainting Couch Scandal Survival Tips 2&amp;quot; video (below), you mention &amp;quot;mini Fitz.&amp;quot; What exactly is that?! TE: Well...it&amp;#039;s tiny, has batteries, and buzzes... C: Oh, a vibrator! TE: Yes! You know, I wish Scandal would create new merchandise where they would put Tony Goldwyn&amp;#039;s face on a bunch of tiny ones. Those would sell-out.
