Back in 1984 we got to know Robert Carradine and Curtis Armstrong as Lewis and Booger from Revenge of the Nerds and tonight at 10p we will get to know them as the hosts of TBS’s King of the Nerds.
Starting tonight eleven nerds are going to vie for the title of King of the Nerds, but only one of then can be crowned the winner. They are smart, gamers, Trekkies, trivia experts and most important they are nerds. Not actors playing nerds, but the real thing.
For their first challenge two captains will be chosen and they will each pick a team, the lone nerd will be left standing there just like they did when they were in school. This is tough challenge for the nerds because it will bring back some bad memories, but once they are picked they are much happier. Well everyone but the biggest loser.
Now that the teams have been chosen, it is time for their next challenge. They will play a game of life-size chess and a short time later someone will say checkmate and the loser will go home.
Each week they will compete in two challenges that only they could master and we will have fun watching this reality show that actually teaches you something.
Plus who doesn’t love having two of our favorite nerds from Revenge of the Nerds back on TV!!! Tri Lambs forever!
Sasha Alexander was on Conan yesterday and she told the TBS host that Angie Harmon and her boob slap each other on the set of their TNT show that airs tonight at 10p. Conan O’Brien said that isn’t a common thing for women to do to each other, but he doesn’t have a problem with it. Then the two of them along with Andy Richter demonstrated all the moves that they do and would like to see done by women to other women.
And on that note Conan showed some fan art pictures of Rizzoli & Isles getting it on and that’s when Alexander said they are changing the show’s title to Rizzoli on Isles. Even though the show is one of cable’s biggest hit, the name change will most certainly make it the most watched one.
Julie Gonzalo Tweeeted some photos of her castmates hard at work on the second season of Dallas and I am not sure that Patrick Duffy, Linda Gray, Josh Henderson, Jordana Brewster and Jesse Metcalfe will be happy with her sharing them, even though I love the behind the scenes look. At least she shared a picture of herself using her fake baby bump as a table. I want one of those to use a laptop table because it looks comfortable.
BTW I so can’t wait for Dallas to come back to TNT on January 28th!
Today is the first day that the cast and crew were back at work on the set of Dallas after Larry Hagman passed away on Friday, and yesterday they got together to remember their patriarch. Julie Gonzalo, who plays the daughter of JR Ewing’s biggest enemy Cliff Barnes, Tweeted the above photo and said “A special gathering of some of the cast and crew in honor of Mr. Larry Hagman and his beloved ‘Dallas’ backdrop. ⤔ You can tell in that photo that they remember the TV icon with both laughs and tears, just like we all are.
On Sunday Southfork Ranch will open its doors to the public to mourn Larry Hagman’s death. From 2-4p they will be giving free tours of the ranch and a memorial reception will follow, during which guests may leave cards, flowers, sign his memorial book and pay their respects to him. So if you are in the Dallas area, you can go there this weekend and say goodbye to him at one of his favorite places.
And on January 28th Dallas returns to TNT for its second season with Larry Hagman playing his most notorious role, JR Ewing, in a few of the episodes.
