Amy Poehler was on The Late Show tonight and she told David Letterman something cute her son Oscar said to her. The Parks and Recreation star was getting dressed and Archie consoled her by saying “Mom, I am so sorry you don’t have a penis.” But it didn’t stop there because then the toddler added, “But did you have one and break it.” That’s when she told Dave that was her son’s way of finding out if she had one would she be good at taking care of it. The CBS host was quick on his feet to say, “I’ve heard you take good care of them.” After a brief pause he smugly put his hand to his tie and added, “Believe me, I think we all heard.” I can’t tell if Amy thought it was funny or was insulted by his joke? What do you think?
Before Laura Benanti was a group therapy counselor on Go On, she was in group therapy on Starved. She looks the same now as she did when she was 25 in that 2005 episode.
Go On is the big sitcom hit for the fall and tonight at 9p on NBC you can find out why. That is if you don’t already know!
Matthew Perry plays Ryan a recent widower who was forced by his job to go to a therapy group to deal with his loss. Lauren Bennett (Laura Benanti) is the counselor/leader of the group and I think that the two of them have such a sweet chemistry together that I want them to hook up on the show.
Well I was recently on a conference call with the EP Scott Silveri and he talked about what would be coming up for the second half of the season. He said that they were, “kicking around ideas for a nice relationship for Matthew, so maybe we’ll find somebody interesting there. A little flirtation for him because that’s an inevitable direction for the show to go in.” Well if that is the inevitable direction, I had to find out that does that mean that there is a chance for Ryan and Lauren to become something more? Silveri responded by saying that at this point they will remain as is because they have plenty of time for that. He explained, “It wouldn’t be appropriate given the situation, nor is it something that really interested us as a bunch of writers. So you know, it’s not something we’ve written to.” He then added, “That said, they have fantastic chemistry and the scenes we’ve done with the two of them together are strong, and the scenes with a hint of flirtation are really strong. So you know, nothing is off the table for the long run, but I think the one mistake we could’ve made there is running straight to it, and we’ve managed to control ourselves there, as easy and fun as it would be to write.”
Benanti was also on the call and she felt the same way. She told us, “And in terms of playing this person, she has so much more integrity than that, you know, than to just like jump on the handsome dude whose wife just died.” Then she added, “So you know, it’s – I feel like having them connect on a friendship level and on a level where like she’s helping him is so much more interesting and shows so much more respect for the audience.” Benanti concluded her thoughts by saying she respects how the writers have been writing Ryan and Lauren’s relationship so far. And then Silveri chimed in by saying, “Until we’re stuck and we can’t come up with a story, then it’s…” Even though I see their point, I am hoping that the writers get stuck soon because I really want the two of them together. Who else is with me?

We are days away from TBS playing A Christmas Story over and over again, and I bet you want to know what that little kid looks like day. Well since they are doing a stage production of the movie in NY, Peter Billingsley came out for the premiere. Ralphie looks exactly the same now as he did in that 1983 movie. Can you believe he is 41 years old because he seriously hasn’t aged a day!
BTW I am so happy he is isn’t wearing the signature glasses he wore in the timeless holiday classic because doesn’t he have the most gorgeous blue eyes?
Tonight on Fox’s Raising Hope at 8p The Chances continue to prove that they are one of the worst families in the world, but that doesn’t stop them from being very good to watch!
Natesville is holding its annual Thanksgiving Radish Harvest Festival, and they need a kid to ride the float. In order for that child to be chosen, they have to sell the most chocolate bars and that is a tough job to do because they taste like crap. When Jimmy was a little boy he had that honor and now he wants the same for his daughter Hope. In his quest to get her that slot he will find out that his parents rigged the contest so he could win. They had Maw Maw make her own secret tasty and addictive chocolate bars and then they replaced them with the crap ones. Once they started selling them they disappeared faster than a box of Twinkies did last week. For years people involved with the contest thought that The Chances cheated and they have been looking for the evidence to prove their hunches were true since then.
Now with their awwwdorable granddaughter up for the title, will her grandparents and her great-great-grandmother rig the contest again so she can win or will they try to beat the others fairly. Since you love the show as much as I do, you know what is going to happen and you know it is going to be freakin’ funny. So why not tell everyone you know to watch because what else are they doing? Counting the minutes until they are in a turkey coma? Around 2,800 minutes after the show starts.
And on that note, I realized I am so thankful for this funny family show because the love that Garret Dillahunt has for making it, makes it so infectious for all of those who watch! Who else can pull off wearing a tight cop’s uniform like he can?
