Before Rob Reiner directed Billy Crystal in When Harry Met Sally, Meathead was lifting up his best friend in All in the Family. I wonder if the 21 year old actor knew in 1976 that 13 years later he would be working with Reiner again in one of the biggest chick flicks of all-time?
Billy Crystal shot When Harry Met Sally 2 for Funny or Die and it lives up to the website’s names. As in it’s Funny and Meg Ryan’s Sally has Died.
In the sequel Harry has replaced Ryan with Helen Mirren as Sharon and the movie’s tagline is “Getting Old Sucks”. You have to watch the short to understand what that means because it doesn’t mean what you think. And the moral of the movie is be careful who you tell you want to spend the rest of your life with.
I hope the people who are picking who should host the Oscars next year watch this and realize that Billy Crystal is still funny and is not dead and should once again host them. Long live Billy Crystal…and thanks to this short he will!!!
Fox News is reporting that Billy Crystal is ready to return as the host to the Oscars next year!!! I don’t care what the Academy has to do to get him back, but please do it! He is the best living Oscar host out there and they so need him back!!! No one since he started is a 1/4 as good as him and no matter what changes they make it won’t make up for much if you don’t have a good host like Billy Crystal! Not that Hugh Jackman was that bad, but he was no Billy!!!
I love that picture of Billy Crystal pointing to Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman so much, I had to post it! I wish he would host the Oscars again because he was best of them all!!!
Page Six is reporting that Billy Crystal is looking to become the latest nighttime talk show host and I for one would love to see that. The paper said:
"Billy was initially set on Conan O'Brien's slot when Conan takes over for Jay Leno on 'The Tonight Show,' but even if that didn't work out he would do something in syndication. He's looking for a five-year contract paying $20 million a year." A rep for Crystal said, "There have been no discussions with NBC to take over for Conan."
I loved him on SNL, I loved him as an Oscar host and I am sure I will love him hosting a TV show. Crap I would give up Jimmy Kimmel to watch him and I think he is the only person I would do that for!!! Let's hope this rumor is true!!! Shame though that Jack Palance is not around to be a guest.
