This will probably never happen but it'd be very cool if Hugh Laurie guest-starred in an episode of NCIS, playing a villain.

Plus, we'd get to see a reunion between HL and Gary Cole (Alden Parker) as the two men previously worked together on "Veep".

As two of TV's most beloved versions of the White House gather for a WisDems fundraiser, Bradley Whitford notes to The Hollywood Reporter about continuing the election season reunion wave: "You just want to do absolutely anything you can.

2023 Northeast Comic Con Fall Edition Wrap-Up

For a few years now I’ve been lucky enough to cover the Northeast Comic Con (read��my coverage here), a fun cool convention for lovers of comics, pop culture, and collectibles. I attended the Spring edition in March and over the Summer I also attended their spin-off MusicCon Collectibles Extravaganza.

Here are some of the highlights of the guests I got to speak with at this season's NECC:

Actress Heather Matarazzo gave one of the great breakout performances of the 90s when she was only about 13 in Welcome to the Dollhouse. Such an impressive performance as teen outcast Dawn Wiener. She's popped up in loads of films since then, including Randy's sister in Scream 3. I asked her what it was like returning as Martha Meeks 20+ years later in last year's Scream (5). She said "It was like getting to put on a very comfortable pair of shoes. I got to slip right in and Jamie [Vanderbilt] and Guy [Busick], the writers of Scream 5, did a really excellent job of capturing the essence of the legacy characters and establishing the new horror film." Heather was super nice and cool and spoke to my son for a few minutes as well!

The 5-piece Canadian group The Kids in the Hall came to prominence with their sketch comedy TV series that ran in the U.S. from 1988-1995 on HBO and later CBS. The series slowly garnered a cult following. I was just getting interested in comedy at the time and became a big fan. I’d stay up late to watch it on CBS on Friday nights. So many LOL skits and they were a team that played so well off each other. After the series ended, they made the 1996 movie Brain Candy, reunited for a few comedy tours and a limited series in 2010 that ran on IFC and last year's limited series on Amazon Prime Video. 2 of the 5 Kids in the Hall were at the NECC: Dave Foley and Kevin McDonald! They did a panel moderated by my friend Ken Reid. I got to speak to them briefly. I asked them both, outside of Kids in the Hall they have both done a great deal of voiceover work, so I was curious what their favorite was? Kevin said "Invader Zim and Lilo & Stitch were fun, but I also enjoyed playing Waffle in Catscratch and a new one, I haven't seen it yet but it seems pretty good is the Scott Pilgrim cartoon [Scott Pilgrim Takes Off]." Dave said "That would be Bug's Life." I replied that it was so cool that years later he did an episode of Veep with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, where it was like a live action reunion of A Bug's Life! Dave said "Well I had also been on her show The New Adventures of Old Christine, I was on about three episodes. But it was fun on Veep getting to be the creepy Finnish Prime Minister's husband who gets to hold her breast. And the half-hour rehearsal we did to prepare for it."

After seeing last year's documentary The Kids in the Hall: Comedy Punks, which showed the ups and downs of the group as well as Scott Thompson's health issues, it made their reunion on the limited Amazon series that much more special. I asked them both if they had plans for another reunion, whether it's a tour or a special or a film? Kevin said "We have plans to make plans. It could be a tour, it could be a movie, it could be a tour and a movie. But we're meeting next week for some celebratory thing, so we're going to meet the day before to talk about what our next plan is." Dave added "There's plans to at least fight about making plans!" [Laughs] I could literally listen to them talk all day and they could not have been any cooler!

Last but not least we Liz Puleo, a recent contestant on Lego Masters. My son is a big fan of Legos and enjoys that show, so we went up to her booth. She was so nice, she signed a photo and gave it to him before he even asked for it, she just asked his name and she gave it to him. Thanks Liz!

Matt Walsh On What A ‘Veep’ Reunion Might Look Like: “Everybody Would Do It” – SXSW

“I have no breaking story about a Veep comeback,” Matt Walsh told us at Deadline’s SXSW studio, “I wish I did because it would blow up the internet.” But in short per the the guy who played the White House press secretary Mike McLintock to Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ VP Selina Meyer: “I know everybody would do it, there’s always been talk of a movie.” Walsh is here at SXSW for the world premiere of…

Some thoughts on Avenue 5 season two, now that we’re three episodes into it:

- It’s really good. It’s original, I’ve never seen something blend sci-fi and comedic satire in that way. Okay, as soon as I wrote that I obviously remembered Douglas Adams exists, but the time he was satirizing feels like a hundred years ago given how much society has changed, so this is very different. I like that season 2 is finding new angles to tackle, with the fictional TV show and the interviews on the ground, showing Armando Iannucci’s usual style of never wanting to cover the same ground for too long. It’s funny, all the actors are sharp, all the writing is coherent (that sounds a bit like damning with faint praise, but I just mean it’s nice to have a show that’s really easy to follow because it was written with attention to detail), nothing feels like it wasn’t used enough.

No, it’s not quite as good as the best thing Armando Iannucci’s ever done. But I don’t think the invention of penicillin is as good as the best thing Armando Iannucci’s ever done. Not all shows can be The Thick of It. Only one show gets to be The Thick of It – 1.5 if you count Veep. Veep is one of the best shows in the world, and it’s still not as good as the best thing Armando Iannucci’s ever done. So as much as I love The Thick of It, I don’t want him to just keep trying to do that again. I want him to do shit like this.

- On the subject of The Thick of It, the clip that I cut out and put in the video at the top of this post, when Rebecca Front meets Joanna Scanlan for the first time and calls her a bitch for no reason – love that little reference. And on the same episode in which they brought in Justin Edwards – I really don’t think everything Armando Iannucci does should be brought back to The Thick of It, but I’m also a sucker for a reunion episode.

- One exception to my clause that said nothing’s been underused: where is Himesh Patel the stand-up comedian this season? I liked him, hoped he’d get a bigger role in season two but it looks like he may have been cut completely.

- In support of the idea that nothing’s been underused: I’m so glad they brought Daisy May Cooper back.

- I really like the idea of something set in the near-ish future. Futuristic but not totally removed from our world. Can play with technology that’s ahead of our time while still being culturally close enough to make sociological points about this year.

- A while ago, I mentioned that when Fern Brady asked on Taskmaster whether an eel is a fish or a snake, that’s actually quite relevant to me, because I have a phobia of snakes that’s triggered by anything that looks enough like a snake, but can be avoided if I get my brain to process it as “not a snake”. So if I ever seen eel on the screen, I immediately scramble to tell my brain it has just seen a fish and nothing else. Season two of Avenue 5 is confirming for me that that does not work when there’s a huge tank or bucket of eels and they’re all squirming around. There is not a way to convince my brain that those are not snakes, I just have to put my hands in front of my face and try to block my view of them.

sometimes it's kind of difficult to me to imagine domestic Dan Egan, but watching Superstore helped a lot

I mean, you can look at Ben Feldmann and just let it sink in. And for better context, his counterpart is also an Amy

Reid Scott as Dan Egan and Anna Chlumsky as Amy Brookheimer during a table read of 5x04, Mother.

DAN: Richard, three things. One: round up art supplies and volunteers. Two: send Jonah to get Amy and me iced coffees, splash of two percent, dusting of cocoa. Three: it has to be Jonah.

Would love to see Hugh Laurie guest-star on NCIS and possibly see a reunion between HL and Gary Cole (Alden Parker on NCIS) as they previously worked together on Veep, HL playing Senator Tom James while Cole played Kent Davison.

Matt Walsh was definitely dropping some truth bombs about the HBO Cocaine Plane because no one was laughing.

Two, they seem into revisiting the show in some way? Holding back on Labor Day? Though my husband is theorizing Selina and Gary fucked.
