The cast of Bosom Buddies were reunited for the 8th Annual TV Land Awards to celebrate the show’s 30th Anniversary. Even though it has been 30 years since the show debuted Peter Scolari, Donna Dixon and Telma Hopkins all look as good as they did when they did the show in 1980! I got to speak to them on the red carpet and they told me about their fond memories of their days on the show. Find out who convinced the late Wendie Jo Sperber to go on a date with her future husband? Who drove to work with Tom Hanks every day? What classic show used the same sound stage as Bosom Buddies? It really explains why 30 years later we are still talking about this groundbreaking show. Also find out who was going to be reunited with Tom Hanks on the big screen, but because of scheduling conflicts had to drop out.
Thirty years later they are still going strong in the business and you can see Peter Scolari in the Off-Broadway show White Lies at New World Stages in NYC. Donna Dixon who took time off to be a mom to her three daughters with her husband Dan Aykroyd of nearly 27 years, is going to be working on documentary about Mongolia. Find out what it is about and if she has been there in the interview above. Telma Hopkins will be back on TV in June in Are We There Yet? on TBS in a role I know she had to do plenty of acting for because she is so not like her character.
You can watch these three cast members from Bosom Buddies reunite with Tom Hanks and Holland Taylor at the 8th Annual TV Land Awards tonight at 9p on TV Land when they accept their award honoring the show for turning 30!
Side note: I had such a huge crush on Peter Scolari when I watched him on Bosom Buddies, that I was so excited to finally meet him! After the interview he gave me a kiss and I will never watch that cheek again. Actually I have, but seriously it was so cool to meet my TV crush and have him still be a cool guy!
