Timothy Omundson, 47, took to Twitter yesterday to confirm a rumor about his health. He Tweeted, “My Dear tweet-erers, As you may have heard, I have had a wee touch of a stroke. Thanks for all the ♥️ and well wishes.”
On May 7th, a Facebook fan page broke the news that he suffered a stroke late last month at the Tampa Airport. He was in Florida at the time promoting his movie Carter & June.
Then a day after that post, USA Network announced that they would begin filming the Psych holiday special on May 24th. A source close to the telemovie says that he will still be part of it and the script is being reworked for his recovery.
But then I have to wonder if his health could be the real reason why ABC didn’t pick up his sitcom, Household Name, with Carol Burnett this week. I must add this is pure speculation on my part. When asked why it wasn’t, all the President of Entertainment, ABC, Channing Dungey, said on a conference call is, “Household Name is a project that is still very near and dear to our hearts. I think it is something that we would love to continue developing with. We have had some preliminary conversations with Universal and with the producers, and we will see how that develops.” Hopefully, when he is recovered, ABC will reconsider picking up this show for midseason. Between him and the comedic legend, how could they not have a hit on their hands?
Omundson is an incredible actor with so much natural talent. Besides playing Lassie on Psych, he sang and danced his way into our as the King on Galavant, also he guest starring as Cain, the original murder, on Supernatural, a Donald Trump Jr type on Angie Tribeca’s season premiere and just this week he was seen as Gd on Lucifer.
Hopefully, he will be all better soon because we need more people in Hollywood that can work their magic on the screen like he does.
While it seems like almost every show we loved, that was cancelled too soon, is getting a reunion special, there is one we have been anxiously waiting for. That program is Scrubs.
The show’s creator Bill Lawrence teased us that one might be happening when he posted the above photo with his stars Zach Braff and Sarah Chalke and said, “Reunion show plans: all we have so far is that drinking tequila is fun. #Scrubs #MissJohnnyKenDonaldJudy.”
Why don’t they just get everyone together in an abandoned hospital (since the place where they shot the show was torn down), drink some Tequila and Improv the whole the whole thing. He is used to doing things by the seat of his pants thanks to Undateable. I am sure this cast could have a lot of fun with no script. Although, if they have too much fun, then maybe they are better off filming it in a mental institution? Now that would be totally cray cray.
But in all seriousness, I don’t know if the reunion show is in the works, but I am sure Netflix would be interested in it. After all, fans of the sitcom let them know they were upset when they were going to remove it from the streaming service. Plus, if it is on the Netflix they can do things they couldn’t do when they were on NBC and ABC. Just imagine what madness and hilarity would ensue.
Harry Styles ended his week long stay on The Late Late Show in the car with James Corden. That’s because he was the latest member to take part in Carpool Karoake and one of the very few who has done it twice.
The two men started off their journey singing his solo hit Sign of the Times. When they were done, the singer admitted it makes him cry “in a cool way.” Is there anything he does that isn’t cool?
In fact, the two Brits did a mini fashion show. No matter what shirt he modeled, he still looked cool and sexy in them. Which is why I guess his last name has style in it!
After some singing and modeling, it was time to try some RomCom acting. They acted out scenes from Notting Hill and Titanic and we learned he can totally be the next John Cusack or Hugh Grant. Who wouldn’t want to be his leading lady? I would do it faster than you can say hello.
Although, I am not sure anyone can come between his Endless Love with the CBS late night host.
You know how they tell actors to break a leg? Well Robert Englund accidentally took them literally because somehow he broke his foot. He didn’t say how he did it, so we are left to assume how. I will say he did it by tripping over all the bodies of the teenagers he killed because Freddy Krueger and him are the same person. Right?
I know his pain. Back when I was 20, I broke my foot in a car accident. Like him, I had an open cast. Unlike him I had kitten in heat with long claws showing by broken wing some love instead of dog kissing the booboo trying to make it feel better. His is cute and mine left me crying in pain.
Back to the dog licking his foot, how cute is to see one of the cinema’s scariest actors get some arforable care? It doesn’t make him seem so terrifying.
Here’s little tip to him, he will need those metal claws to get to those inevitable itches you can’t scratch. I wish I had them, instead I used one the sticks from those huge lollipops because those plastic knives on the A Nightmare on Elm Street glove do not do it. I tried it.
