Kathy Bates was on The Late Late Show yesterday and she baited Craig Ferguson by asking him, “you have anything that I can hold on to back there underneath the desk?” Now any other late night host would have just given her something and let it go, but the Scot is not like those other guys and straight out said “I have my genetials, how about that?”
The Harry Law actress didn’t know what she got herself into when she asked the question, but really what she meant to ask him for was his kangaroo balls that Carrie Fisher gave him. Well that lead to the CBS late night host giving her them and explanation about how human and kangaroo testicles differ. Something the Oscar winner and I didn’t know before that and I’m not sure we needed to. But it is a fun fact that you will now going around telling all the guys in your life why one ball is droopier than the other.
Before she was Kathy Bates, she went by Bobo Bates (and her bombastic boobs) in Taking Off. Who knew she could sing like that? BTW she looks the same now as she did when she was just 22 in that 1971 movie.
Before Kathy Bates was starting a new business in Harry’s Law, she was starting a new wedded life on The Love Boat. How beautiful did the 29 year old actress look as a bride in that 1978 episode!
If you are like me missing a David E Kelley show on TV like Picket Fences and Boston Legal, then Harry’s Law on NBC tonight at 10p is the show for you. Kathy Bates plays a tough lawyer who gets fired from her job and decides to go out on her own. In between doing that, she gets hit on the head by a guy who jumped off a building to kill himself…thus saving him and eventually she will be defending him. But that isn’t the worst part of her day as she is crossing the street to what she thinks will be the perfect office space for her she gets hit by a car driven by a lawyer (Studio 60’s Nate Corddry) she once argued against in court. He is wanting a change, so he decides he wants to work for her. The final person in this mix is Brittany Snow who plays her assistant and seizes the opportunity to sell shoes in the former shoe store that Harry takes over. Sounds quirky enough in a David E Kelley way, well it is just that?
Did I mention that Harry’s new office is in a section that is necessarily the best, so they will find themselves defending people that most lawyers would not want to take on unless it is a state mandated. Because of that there are a lot of touching moments in the show and that is why I love love love this show. That and it really has the feel of the David E Kelley shows I have been missing. So if you are like me then add Harry’s Law to your TV viewing tonight and every Monday on NBC at 10p!!!
