Chef Barbie Marshall previews her return to HELL’S KITCHEN

When Chef Barbie Marshall was a competitor on Season 12 of HELL’S KITCHEN, she got her black jacket but not the win.  She joked with people that if the show ever had an All Stars season, she’d do it, never expecting them to ACTUALLY have an All Stars season. Now, she’s back in the kitchen, ready to compete with other chefs from the show’s past (including a handful from her season, which made for an interesting competition), all of whom

KEVIN CAN WAIT: Mary-Charles Jones previews a Season 2 of change

Season 2 of KEVIN CAN WAIT kicks off tonight on CBS with a time jump and a new series regular (S1 guest star Leah Remini is back). To celebrate kicking off Season 2, I spent some time chatting with series star Mary-Charles Jones about what’s coming for Sara now that Kevin has to parent this teenager alone! It’s got to be exciting; you never know when you sign on for something that it’s going to take off whether people are

Talking THE GOOD PLACE S2 with Luke Guldan

At the end THE GOOD PLACE’s first season finale, which returns tonight for a special premiere after the AMERICA’S GOT TALENT finale (on NBC), the premise of the show (that found Kristen Bell’s Eleanor Shellstrop “incorrectly” sent to the good place after she died) was blown to bits by the revelation that she was never in the good place, but was in the bad place the whole time.  Ted Danson’s Michael was a master manipulator and in the final moments

Megan Stevenson on GET SHORTY, acting, and what comes next

EPIX’s recently renewed GET SHORTY follows Chris O’Dowd’s Miles Daly, a bruiser for a Nevada crime ring who travels to LA to give Hollywood a shot after stealing a script from an aspiring screenwriter who owed a debt. Along the way, he meets up with Ray Romano’s Rick Moreweather, a producer he wants to help him make the movie. Megan Stevenson plays April Quinn, Rick’s former assistant who has climbed the ranks to studio exec.  She gets involved in the

THE BOLD TYPE’s Dan Jeannotte on Jane, Ryan, and why you should tune in!

I like to be surprised when I tune into new shows – show me something I don’t see often, and convince me to come back. When I approached THE BOLD TYPE, I went in expecting a snarky, mean-spirited, step on other women to get to the top kind of look at the goings on at a Cosmo-like magazine (Scarlet); to my delight, the show swerved and presented us with breezy-but-not-daft, optimistic-but-not-unattainable, realistic, fashion-forward, and relevant show with leads you root

In addition to spending time talking with the hilarious cast of PEOPLE OF EARTH in San Diego, Jason and I got to pick the brain of the show’s creator, David Jenkins.  We touched on creating and evolving the show,

PEOPLE OF EARTH at SDCC 2017: Oscar Nuñez and Ana Gasteyer on “tragicomedy”

While in San Diego for Comic Con 2017, I had the opportunity to spend some time chatting with the stars and creator of TBS’ PEOPLE OF EARTH, which starts Season 2 with an amazing new episode July 24 at 10:30/9:30PM Central. Ana Gasteyer and Oscar Nuñez have been known over the years for their wildly funny performances on SNL, THE OFFICE, SUBURGATORY, etc. In PEOPLE OF EARTH season 2, while they continue to mine for comedy gold, the emotions of

PEOPLE OF EARTH at SDCC 2017: Nasim Pedrad and Björn Gustafsson preview Season 2

In the first of four video interviews, new cast member Nasim Pedrad (special agent Alex Foster) and Björn Gustafsson (Don the White) joined me and my camera man Jason to talk about everything (but also nothing) related to the

FARGO’s Olivia Sandoval on Winnie & Gloria, mid-western nice, and an exciting S3 finale

Navigating the “mid-western nice” of FARGO was new territory for Olivia Sandoval, the newcomer who has given life and incredible depth to beat-cop Winnie Lopez over the course of this stellar third season. As the show narrowed in on figuring out the mystery that was front and center, it has given audiences an authentic female friendship that is worth rooting for in Sandoval’s Lopez and Carrie Coon’s phenomenal Gloria Burgle. In a call to preview the finale, Sandoval told me
