Jerry O’Connell and Rebecca Romijn will be celebrating their 12th anniversary in July and their marriage is still going strong. So stong, they celebrated St. Patrick’s Day wearing the same green Benetton rugby that the actress bought her husband as a present.
You see, back in the ’80, that was the must-have shirt, but the evil people at Benetton discontinued it for some stupid reason. That and their B same-color, light-dark, wool sweaters. Therefore, her buying him the hard to find rugby makes her the best Hollywood wife out there. It also makes me mad at her because I so want the blue one again. Why did I let my parents throw mine out? And why haven’t any of the shows based in the ’80s, like The Goldbergs, featured it?
Anyways back to the O’Connells, don’t you just adore this awwwwwdorably cute couple? They are so in sync they even dress alike! Who knew it would be the parents that would be twinning and not their twins, Dolly and Charlie.
Funny or Die and Debmar-Mercury have teamed up with Jerry O’Connell to do a new daytime talk show that will test out for three weeks starting August 12th on some Fox stations.
O’Connell had this to say about Jerry O, “I love daytime. I love watching it and have fallen in love with guest-hosting it. Whether asking people to ‘Cash Me Outside’ or asking them ‘How You Doin?’, daytime is a big part of my life” Then he added, “I am thrilled to work with my friends at both Debmar-Mercury and Funny Or Die. I have been collaborating with both companies for years and am so excited to bring a little bit of the traditional – and something brand new – to the audience. This is going to be a fun, fun time and everyone is invited. Let’s party.”
Debmar-Mercury produces Wendy, a show that O’Connell has guest hosted on several times, therefore they are familiar with his hosting styles.
O’Connell has also done several funny bits, like the one above, for Funny or Die, so he is the perfect person to incorporate their segments within the talk show. In fact, Funny Or Die’s CEO Mike Farah said, “Jerry is one of the all-time great guys. He’s funny, smart and his energy is contagious. We’re proud to collaborate with him and Debmar-Mercury, and think this is the perfect show for Funny Or Die’s first foray into daytime television!”
Normally, I dread August, but this year I am looking forward to it. He is going to make the hot month even hotter. Therefore, you should mark your calendars because if anyone deserves a talk show, it is him.
Jerry O’Connell filled in for Wendy William this Thursday and Friday. That was not the only woman whose shoes he filled, he also put his feet up to his head in Cardi B. Who knew a boy from Manhattan could be so good at doing a girl from The Bronx. And I would know because I am from there.
BTW Why doesn’t someone give him a daytime talk show already? He is natural.
Jerry O’Connell is playing Clark Kent/Superman in Reign of Superman, and he wore the perfect outfit at the red carpet event for the movie’s DVD release today. He merged the best of both worlds, Earth and Krypton, with his attire. A suit for this planet and fabric with the S logo all over it for the one he was born on. No word if it has the same powers as the real one, but we do know he looks snazzy in it.
BTW fun fact about the animated feature, it also stars his wife, Rebecca Romijn, as Lois Lane.
WGN announced today that it picked up Carter for a second season. The show stars Jerry O’Connell as an actor who plays a detective on TV, who moves back home and uses his training to really become a detective there. Make sense? If it does not, then watch the first season on WGN America that also stars Sydney Poitier Heartsong and Kristian Bruun as his best friends. I promise you will love it as much as I do.
