Yesterday, Josh Gad took an epic photo with Tom Hanks and two of the Goonies, Jeff Cohen and Johnathan Ke Quan, and shared with us. What brought the four actors, who starred in some of the biggest films in the last four decades together? A screening of Steven Spielberg’s HBO documentary.
Now that we got that out of the way, can we talk about seeing Chunk and Data together again? Let’s do the Truffle Shuffle because we never see Cohen with his co-stars, so this is a treat. Almost as big of one as if we finally got that sequel they keep talking about. When are they going to make that darn movie already?

Before he told the women in his team that there is no crying in baseball in A League of Their Own, he almost cried when he tried to fight The Fonz on Happy Days. Even at 26 in that 1982 episode, you could tell he what it takes to become the star that he is today. Such great comedic timing at such a young age.

As we know, celebrities go on local morning news shows and sometime they do the weather while they are there. News Be Funny compiled several of them weathering the storm and the forecast wasn’t always sunny for Kevin Hart, Tom Hanks, Steve Carrell, David Letterman and Ellen DeGeneres to name of few of them. That is because they were causing a downfall of laughter with the viewers. While they might not be good with the green screen, they are great at making us feel good no matter how crappy the weather is outside.
Before Tom Hanks had 2 Oscars to his name, he starred in a hysterical show called Bosom Buddies with Peter Scolari and Holland Taylor. He didn’t have to lose or gain weight for the role, but he did have to shave his legs because Kip (Hanks) and Henry (Scolari) dressed up as woman to in order to live in all female hotel. Ruth (Taylor) was their tough boss who wouldn’t take their crap and eventually went in to advertising business with them. It was so totally ’80s and yet timeless, and that is why it is still in syndication over 35 years later.
While that was then, this is now. Here at the three leads prepping for something in October and sadly it is not a reunion show. I would love to see how Hanks looks drag in 2017. We know that Scolari can still work it because of Jimmy Kimmel Live bit he took part in last year.
They honestly don’t make shows like this one anymore which is really sad. Because back then, they made our days more Sonny, Sonny, Sonny, Sonny. On that note, Donna Dixon, who is married to Dan Aykroyd, is still just as gorgeous as she was then.
How much would you love to see a revival of Bosom Buddies? Kip and Sonny could have gotten married, had a son, who also dresses as a woman, just so that they can all live in that same hotel. Why would they move because it was cheap, just not dirt cheap like their old apartment. Maybe Henry and Amy (the late Wendie Jo Sperber) had a daughter and Kip’s son is in love with her? That could be the spinoff and Isabelle (Telma Hopkins) could sing the theme song. I think I need to get a life.
After months of speculation whether or not Dwayne Johnson would run for President in 2020, he made it official yesterday on Saturday Night Live. Not only did he announce his candidacy, he revealed who is running will be. That person is Tom Hanks and they have the winningest ticket since like ever.
In fact, I bet if they would say that they would assume the White House tomorrow, Republicans and Democrats alike would say OK and kick everyone out who is currently there. Not only that, they would bring peace to the World because everyone knows and likes them. Everyone would have health care, taxes would be lowered and everyone who wants to work would have a job.
What are they waiting for? Let’s make it official while the White House is empty. Who is with me?
Their slogan can be, “We’re Rock solid, tHanks you.”
