Jerry O’Connell was on Live with Kelly and Michael today, and he had Michael Strahan and Taraji P Hensen (who was filling in for Kelly Ripa) laughing so hard, they were in tears.
The actor started it off by telling the Empire star that her character on the show has influenced how his wife, Rebecca Romijn, and he handle their six-year-old girls. When Dolly and Charlie are acting up, the couple think, “What Would Cookie Do?” Since we’ve all seen the show, we know the twins better be good whenever there are any brooms around.
Then after commercial break, he talked about his Broadway show Living on Love that begins performances on April 1st (my birthday) and he was complaining about one of his co-stars, who is a real bitch. He explained his beef with Trixie, who plays Puccini, “I got to tell you, those dogs, you know, you rehearse for months, you put on these plays, the second the dog walks out everyone is like, ‘Oh! Yes!!!'” Then he added, “Now, I know why people hate people working with dogs because we’re memorizing lines to do comedy, and the dog just walks in and everyone is like, ‘Oh, it’s amazing! It’s amazing how it sat there.'” Finally, he admitted, “But it’s a cute dog.” Jerry, next time she steals a scene from you, just think, “What Would Cookie Do?”
Back to Trixie, O’Connell had better hope she doesn’t like bones because he will practically being showing his on the stage. That’s right, the Fat Kid from Stand By Me (which he hasn’t been since he was in that movie) is going to be almost completely naked in the show. If that’s not a reason to go see it, I don’t know what is. Oh yeah, Trixie is the main reason to see it, but him nearly naked is a close second in dog rankings.
So get your tickets now for Living on Love while they are still available. They have tickets that start at $25 and I am about to order mine because everything Jerry does is like, Oh, it’s amazing!”
