Seriously? OMG! WTF?

Right before the pandemic started, David Alan Grier and Jerry O’Connell starred in the Broadway play A Soldier’s Play. In fact, its final weekend was the same one that they shut the Great White Way down for a year and a half.

Anyways, today DAG was on The Talk, and he had a story to share about O’Connell. Grier immediately started to tear up as he shared what happened between them. He said that after the first table read, the CBS host told him that he was going to win a Tony for that role. O’Connell said to him that every day they did the show, and the actor thought, “it was embarrassing, and I felt ashamed.”

However, O’Connell was onto something because Grier did win the Tony for that role. The Tony winner’s raw emotions on the show today were because O’Connell knew before everyone else that he gave a Tony-winning performance. Grier’s first win after three other nominations in nearly 40 years.

O’Connell was so happy for Grier on Tony night that he accidentally put his co-star’s phone number out on social media. Was Grier upset? He told the viewers, “people started texting me and calling me, and it was all love, though. Not one crank call. Every person called, they said, ‘Jerry gave us your number, and we just want to tell you how much we love you. How much we support you.’ So it turned out to the craziest thing, and I thank you, Jerry.”

And with that, everyone had all the feels as the two men wiped tears from their eyes. This is how all actors should work together. They should work as a supportive team and be thankful for the support they get from their coworker, who is now their friend.

I have never worked with Jerry O’Connell, but I can tell you he is one of the nicest people in Hollywood. I am not saying this from my own experience (which has always been delightful), but I say it from people who have encountered or worked with him. We need more of him in this town. So whenever he says he marry above his status, he is wrong. I am sure Rebecca Romijn knew she was marrying a man with a huge heart. What woman doesn’t want that? Plus, he is funny, good-looking and has a great body! But his no BS warmth is his most outstanding feature.

One last note, Grier better cast O’Connell in the limited series he wants to do as a prequel to A Soldier’s Play. This way, O’Connell can tell him he is going to win the Emmy every day that they work together.

A post shared by Rebecca Romijn (@rebeccaromijn)

Rebecca Romijn was driving home in her car, and she saw her husband taking his daily walk on their driveway while listening to some music. Since he was in the way and couldn’t hear her, she decided to let him know she was there. So she beeped her horn, nearly giving Jerry O’Connell a heart attack.

At least she was already in the car, so that she could’ve given him a ride to the hospital if he needed it. Luckily, he didn’t. But he should consider wearing brown shorts, instead of pink ones in the future. As a disgraced comedian once said, “First you say. Then you do it.”

Oh, and if I were Lifetime, I would give them one of those types of movies where the wife gets away with murder. I don’t think they are a Hallmark movie couple anymore.

But they are one of the best ones in Hollywood. They are all The Talk…

John Corbett was on The Talk today, and he had a big secret to share with his buddy Jerry O’Connell and the other hosts. His sex in the city days with other women are over.

“Jerry, I can’t believe that I forgot to tell you that around Christmas time we got married. Bo [Derek] and I got married,” he said. “You know, we’re pretty private people. We didn’t make an announcement. All our friends and family knew but, this is the first time either one of us has said anything publicly about it because really we haven’t had an opportunity. So, you’re my buddy, and now I guess I’m telling all of America or the world. After 20 years, we decided to get married. We didn’t want 2020 to be that thing that everybody looks back at and hated…let’s get one nice this out of it.”

That is such a beautiful reason to get married. May their marriage only be filled with hope and good times for the rest of their long lives. You can already tell that the first seven months are full of happiness because he was beaming with joy as he shared the news.

Back in 1999, Jerry O’Connell got a phone call to be in Mariah Carey’s music video Heartbreaker the day before it filmed. Today, on The Talk, he told his co-hosts what happened when he tried to have a sweet, sweet fantasy with her and asked for her phone number.

“Full disclosure, I did shoot my shot with Mariah. I tried to get digits. It did not work out,” he said. “She’s a very nice girl. She let me down easily and softly, but that was not going to happen.”

In the long run, it worked out for both of them. They both went on to meet their spouses and have twins with them. Of course, only one of them is still married, and the other remains a heartbreaker.
