Two weeks ago, Sean Hayes almost died when part of his small intestine burst open spewing poison into his body. Luckily, Grandpa Jack from Will & Grace went to the hospital in enough time, so that he is with us today.
Not only that, since he is alive, today he will make up that Ellen DeGeneres appearance he cancelled on because he was in the hospital. Since he is almost all better, he can have some fun with her by playing a game he learned in the hospital. He brought a contraption they use to test your lung strength. The goal is to get the three balls to the top. When Ellen asked him, “Do you suck, not blow;” you know his reaction would be perfect. He told the audience, “Of course, I’d have to teach her!” Spoken like a true Gay man to his Lesbian friend!
How did Ellen do? Much better than I did when I gave my first blow job!
Some people in Waretown, NJ think this Halloween display of what looks like a man hit by a car is just the right amount of scary. Yet others think it is too scary so they called the police on the homeowners. What did the homeowners do? According to KCBS, they wrote up another story and added another body.
When it comes to law enforcement. They have to investigate the calls they get, but there is nothing they can do about. Homeowners allowed to decorate their yard however they want.
What do you think of the way they decorated their front lawn? If I were a kid, I would hope the candy matches the decorations!
Robert Guillaume passed away today at the age of 89 due to complications from prostate cancer according to The NY Times.
The actor was best known for playing the lovable, wise talking, witty Benson who went from being a Butler on Soap to working in the Governor’s office on its spinoff named after his character. While that was the ’70s and the ’80s, in the late ’90s he was the wise, caring boss of Sports Night. Midway through production of that show, he suffered a mild stroke. He did not let that stop him, after a few weeks of rehab he returned and they wrote it into the comedy. For kids, he will always be known as the voice of Rafiki in The Lion King.
Whether he was doing comedy, drama or singing, he was always as big as his boisterous, beautiful voice.
As a kid, I grew up with him as Benson on both shows. Throughout the decades, I have fallen in love with that character time and time again when I find both shows on television in syndication. Even though those shows are over 30 years old, they still feel new. He gave us a timeless character that people can adore for generations to come.
Today, let’s honor him by watching one of his many iconic roles. As I still ponder if he became Governor on Benson, something that was never resolved because the show was cancelled before we found out. Something I am sure James Noble, who passed away, are discussing up in heaven right now.
Before Robert Guillaume was the Lt Governor in Connecticut on Benson, he was living in Italy wondering about America in Super Fly TNT. I could listen to him sing Opera to me all day, just like he did when he was 45 in that 1973 movie.
