Television
It's hard to believe that this is my fifth year covering the Vancouver International Film Festival as a member of the press.
It was a cool, rainy February afternoon in Los Angeles. Hollywood was agog with buzziness over the Academy Awards, which were only a day away.
Greg Grunberg may not be a name that you can place, but you most likely know his face and his work. For years playing supporting characters -- including co-starring on his friend JJ Abrams' shows Felicity and Alias -- Grunberg finally got a starring role in the NBC series Heroes, playing Matt Parkman, the L.A. cop who could read minds.
Three sitcoms from the same comedy block; two medical dramas quite different from each other; a couple hour-long comedies looking at opposite ends of the social spectrum; some mysterious people with super powers; a critically-acclaimed but ratings-starved drama; and of course, a serial killer who's actually kind of endearing.
You may recognize him as a regular correspondent on The Tonight Show, where he covers major events in taped pieces airing after Jay's monologue.
I have a confession to make: I do not like Boston Legal this season. I thought this would be the year of Jerry and all that is good, but instead it is the year of hating Lorraine and I spend all of her scenes making jokes about how she's probably a man and sighing and wishing she would just leave already. And then I compose letters to David E.
My rant for today: The hot teevee gossip right now is that NBC is looking to spinoff The Office. Don't get me wrong; even if my love has cooled somewhat, there's still a lot to like about the show. Angela, Kelly, Stanley (very excited to see this week's episode!), Dwight "Danger" Shrute...the list goes on and on.
I want to start by saying that I'm a big fan of Late Night with Conan O'Brien. I've been watching the show since its first episode (when I was probably too young to be watching late night TV at all) and I've been hooked ever since.
Chances are, if you're reading this article, then you know who Andy Samberg is, or at least recognize him.
The name Terry Crews may not be familiar to everyone quite yet, but that doesn't mean the face isn't. Once a player in the NFL, Terry Crews has made the move to the big and small screen in a big way. In fact, in researching him for this interview, I was surprised to see just how many movies I had seen him in without even trying.
