We have breaking news about, and not from, Holly Ellenbogen: A CBS spokesperson confirms that Lucy Punch, who played The Class’ high-strung news anchor, is being dropped from the series. In a statement released to TVGuide.com, the freshman sitcom’s executive producers explain, “Due to creative changes, Lucy Punch is no longer a cast member. She is a superb actress and did a fabulous job. We hope to work with her again in the near future.” I guess this is what Jason Ritter meant when he told me they were “reworking some things” with Punch’s character, though Holly’s “colorful” hubby, played by Sam Harris, will apparently stick around.
She was not my favorite character on the show, but what happens to her in the above video is some of the funniest stuff I saw all season. So make sure to watch the whole thing, I promise you it is worth your time. But then again I am sadist.
