Great actor. I did a recent re-watch of NYPD Blue and remembered how much I enjoyed him there, in addition to White Collar and Stargate. On Tue, 21 Sep 2021 at 8:50 PM Kevin M. wrote: > Comedic character actor. Did a memorable turn in a handful of Stargate > episodes. Also in “White Collar”.

He was reportedly battling cancer. Perhaps that's not the cause of death, but I think it's premature to assume something worse. On Tue, Sep 21, 2021, 11:50 PM Kevin M. wrote: > Comedic character actor. Did a memorable turn in a handful of Stargate > episodes. Also in “White Collar”. Cause of

Comedic character actor. Did a memorable turn in a handful of Stargate episodes. Also in “White Collar”. Cause of death not yet made public, which frankly can’t be good. https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/willie-garson-dead-dies-sex-and-the-city-white-collar-actor-1235070748/ -- Kevin M. (RPCV)

Same here. We all got on well, but I don’t remember seeing any of them at O’Brien’s that night. Then again, I shot a Friday show, and perhaps by that time, they’ve all but scattered to the four winds. Sent from Mail for Windows From: Ben Scripps Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2021 10:04 PM To:

We also didn't get together as a group after our taping, although we were all friendly with one another (I'm still FB friends with eight or nine of the people at our taping). Dad, Angela and I ended up dining at the glamorous Olive Garden at the mall across the street from the hotel. But

I think we're already seeing the death of the awards show, if using only the Tonys as an example. I generally have an interest in them, even as much as they're bowling trophies for work in a very small segment of just one city. Of course, that broadcast (in recent years, anyway) isn't so much

I think you are letting Cedrick off too easy; he is just not good (at least when he aims for mainstream audiences). I know who Fred Savage is, and 2 of Cedrick’s three TV wives, and those sketches were still extremely unfunny. The Pence sketch was unfunny when SNL did it back when it was topical

The things that most strike me about this is that Amodio seems like a nice enough guy and that the contestants interviewed were all friendly at the hotel and afterward. I tried setting up getting together for drinks after my tape day and got only crickets as a repsonse. I must have been with a

I think the problem with all of the skits was the problem with the broadcast in general* (even if the ratings were up this year): that the audience has become so fragmented that there's just too many things that too many people aren't familiar with. I mean, I guess to anyone who's watched

He really was quite bad. I have seen his stand up, which is better than his horrid tv shows, but still not really great IMO. I am not sure what CBS was expecting because as bad as he was, it was just about what I would have predicted. On Tue, 21 Sep 2021 at 3:11 AM 'Dave Sikula' via TVorNotTV <

They'll probably drag Samberg, Fallon, or Meyers into the swamp, especially if Lorne is producing. Cedric was embarrassingly bad Sunday, so anyone -- even Wiig -- would be an improvement. -- Dave Sikula On Monday, September 20, 2021 at 8:54:58 AM UTC-7 Brad Beam wrote: > If the current
