We are 11 days away from finally seeing how Lost will end, and Bablegum came up with three different endings for the departing show. I can’t remember what show they are parodying in the first one, but I love what they did with The Breakfast Club ending and the Newhart finale. Part of me is kind of hoping it ends like one of them. Who I am lying to, it better end better than those. Although I have been joking for years that J.J. Abrams and his crew might end it like Newhart with Felicity writing a book called Lost about the survivors of a plane crash on a mysterious Island…
On that note, a few weeks ago I spoke to the legendary Bob Newhart at the TV Land Awards. When I asked him about what his fondest moment was from all of his hit shows, he told me it was the Newhart finale. He also told me who came up with the brilliant ending and why it was only able to work for that show!
He also told me what is up next for him, he is working on doing some stand up and a possible feature. Maybe next year Bob Newhart (one of the actors I have the utmost respect for in Hollywood) will be the new Betty White, that everyone will be doing Facebook petitions for to get him to host things. Hey TV Land, get him to play Betty White’s lover on your hysterical new sitcom Hot in Cleveland. I want to see the two of them in bed together!!!
