Graham Norton thought it would be funny to have Adele disguise herself and mingle with some people who were impersonating her to see if they would recognize the chart topper. They didn’t. But the second she got up on the stage and sang a single note, they knew. Their reaction was priceless, just like having the singer the angelic voice perform just for you.
Lena Dunham is directing an episode of Girls and she learned there is a right way and a wrong way to read a script. Reading it with your eyes from a distance, is the good way. Reading it up too close to your eyes, is the bad way. You see, she scratched her cornea that way and had to get a bandaged eye patch of her bad peeper. Thankfully Zoe Kazan worked her magic and no one can tell.
Tonight at 8:30p on ABC, Dr Ken celebrates Thanksgiving in a way we have never been done on television before. When Dave (Albert Tsai) accidentally walks in on his sister changing, he notices that Molly (Krista Marie Yu) has a tattoo. Her dad (Ken Jeong) isn’t that mad about it, until he realizes it is in Japanese. You see, Dr Ken is Korean and his wife, Allison (Suzy Nakamura) is Japanese and now he is questioning how close he is to his heritage. When everyone tells him that he isn’t that Korean, he decides to change that and now his wife and him are turning their Thanksgiving into a Culture War. Who will win this battle? Not the people that they invited, that is for sure.
As bad as turkey dinner is for The Parks, it is not as bad as the one that Damona (Tisha Campbell-Martin) and Clark (Jonathan Slavin) are suffering through at Julie’s (Kate Simses) house. How will they get out of it? You just have to see it to believe it.
Not only are we thankful for this hit sitcom, so is Ken Jeong. Recently at a press event the former doctor turned actor told us how happy he is to have a show loosely based on his life and cast and crew that he enjoys working with on a daily basis. He told us, “At this point in my career, I’ve had the career that I wanted to have and then some. I just wanted to be a character actor, quit my day job.” Then he added, “I was in my late ‘30s and I was happily married. I didn’t need to be that famous or that rich, so to get this degree of exposure that I had and the success that I had. I really feel at this point in my life, it is kind of a bonus everything that I am doing right now.”
So on Thanksgiving when they go around the table and ask what you are most grateful for, he will have a lot to say. He will be able to say all of that, plus that he has more time to spend with his wife and 2 kids thanks to the format of the show and he is doing the sitcom he wanted to do after years of trying to make it happen. A show that is doing well in the ratings and already has a pretty big fan base after only being on television for a few weeks. By the time he is done saying all of that it will be time for Black Friday. But before we get to that, tune in tonight for another episode that is stuffed with laughter like a turkey is stuffed with stuffing!
The first trailer is out for Kevin Hart and The Rock’s movie Central Intelligence and June 17th can’t come soon enough. While their chemistry is the great and all, the best part is the very end when we see Dwayne Johnson fat. If that doesn’t make you want to see it, I don’t know what will. Shake that back fat, DJ. Shake it real good!
When James Corden announced that Joseph Gordon-Levitt was going to be a guest on The Late Late Show yesterday, the actor had a surprise waiting for the CBS late night host. That present was a mistletoe, but Corden was on the stage and he was in his dressing room. Not to ruin the moment, the Third Rock from the Sun star ran out of his green room on to the stage and gave the host the best kiss I have ever seen. One that was so sexy, CBS was excited that this show airs at 12:30a. And I am just excited after seeing that.
