Before Jean Smart had seven Emmys, she was credited as a Woman Bather in Before and After. You can totally recognize her voice when she was 27 making her on-camera debut in that 1987 television movie of the week.
Jean Smart has won seven Emmys, but she only knows the locations of six of them. The Emmy-winning actress told Jimmy Kimmel yesterday that she has no idea where it is. And correctly said to her, “That means you have too many Emmys.”
He is not wrong. Can you believe that of the seven, none of them are for Designing Women? She has two for Fraiser, one for Samantha Who, and four for Hacks. Which one is missing? The one for Designing Women!!!
Talking about designing. We found out that she makes her own window washer fluid. She keeps a jug of it in her basement. Can you imagine taking someone down there and asking her what that is? That has to be an interesting conversation.
However, not as interesting as the one she had with her late husband, Richard Gilliland, on a plane. The actress often gets mistaken for Kim Cattrall, and a passenger on a flight did just that. He was convinced that she was on Sex and the City, no matter how much she denied it.
Then, an hour later, the stewardess handed her his business card, and he wrote on it that he was respecting her privacy but that he really liked her on that show. Well, her husband said that she needed to correct him ASAP because he thinks he saw you naked, which he didn’t.
Anwyays, back to her looking like the Mannequin star, I never realized until now how much they look alike. Did you see it before she mentioned it?
This Thursday is the season finale for Hacks. And now fans don’t have to worry if the comedy will be back for another season.
That is because HBO Max picked up for a fifth season.
Erin Underhill, President of Universal Television, said, “Like Deborah Vance herself, Hacks only gets bolder, sharper, and more iconic with time. We’re beyond thrilled to keep the laughter rolling with Jen Statsky, Paul W. Downs, Lucia Aniello, our extraordinary cast and crew, and our partners at Max.”
The renewal is not a surprise because it is a multi-award winner and a huge ratings success.
Saturday Night Live is going into its 50th season. And now we know who are the first five celebrities hosting the late night variety show and the musical guests who will be supporting them.
Sept. 28 – Jean Smart / Jelly Roll
Oct. 5 – Nate Bargatze / Coldplay
Oct. 12 – Ariana Grande / Stevie Nicks
Oct. 19 – Michael Keaton / Billie Eilish
Nov. 2 – John Mulaney / Chappell Roan
I have some ideas for SNL! For week one, they should have a Designing Women sketch with Annie Potts and Delta Burke reprising their roles and Michael Myers as Linda Richman filling in for the late Dixie Cater as Julia Sugarbaker. Imagine the rants she could give in 2024.
Then, I would have Ariana Grande and Stevie Nicks sing Landslide as a duet. I would also like to see Nicks recreate the above bit! How funny would that be?
Annie Potts has had an amazing 45-year career that includes roles in Pretty in Pink, Designing Women, Any Day Now, and Young Sheldon.
But today, she hit a career high because she is a diaper. Well, thankfully, it is not her face on babies’ butt. Instead, it is her character, Bo Peep, from the Toy Story franchise.
So now her grandson is going to be the cool kid in nursery school because all the girls are wearing his grandma’s face on their tushies.
