- The voice of Jason Lee made a surprise appearance on a FOX animated show (nope, NOT NBC!) on Sunday. Lee read a few funny lines for the Family Guy clone “American Dadâ€. Here’s what Lee said about the bit in a recent interview:
“I did a few scenes in an episode of American Dad which I love that show and Family Guy so I thought that was cool that they called me in for that. I think it’s Detective Baines or something. It’s literally, I don’t know, maybe eight lines or something.â€
- The musical “Sweeney Todd†seems to have been enjoying quite a resurgence since Kevin broadened access and knowledge to it in “Jersey Girlâ€. Now it’s even crossing a little closer to our world, with the guy who initially took away Kevin’s brilliant Superman script, Tim Burton, now reportedly working on a big screen version with star Johnny Depp. Fascinating! An official announcement is expected in the next few weeks.
- A quick “get well soon†to View Askew vet and comic genius George Carlin, who pent 8 days in the hospital over the holidays due to congestive heart failure. Kevin says:
George sent out an email about his holiday ordeal yesterday, and it was comic gold, the best passage being “DAILY IV’S AND BLOOD-DRAWS ALSO INVOLVE TAPE BEING PLACE ON HAIRY AREAS AND LATER REMOVEDEITHER SLOWLY OR SAVAGELY. EITHER WAY, IT HURTS. FUCK YOU, IT HURTS. I’D RATHER HAVE A SPEAR LODGED SQUARELY IN MY NECK THAN TO HAVE THIRTY OR FORTY OF MY HAIRS PULLED ALL AT ONCE.â€
The “Fuck you, it hurts†bit still cracks me up. I wrote him back that his ordeal was almost worth it for that line alone.

- And your daily dose of “My Name Is Earl†news: Jason’s the subject of a New York Times article titled “Trust Me, I’m Funnier With The Moustacheâ€. The article features new quotes from Lee, Suplee, and Kevin is featured prominently, of course:
“…many of Mr. Lee’s friends say the greatest achievement of “Earl†has been to shine a spotlight on one of Hollywood’s best-kept secrets. “It’s been 10 years coming for Jason,†Mr. Smith said. “Driving down Sunset Boulevard and seeing a billboard with your friend’s face on it – and that friend, for once, isn’t Ben Affleck or Matt Damon – is a phenomenal feeling.â€
In case you mised it, there’s also a nice interview with Earl creator Greg Garcia over at IGN Filmforce.
And finally, there’s this TV Guide Online piece on the programs bumping of NBC’s failing “Joey†off Thursday nights. In it, the article ponders why Kevin hasn’t made a guest appearance on “Earl†yet. We’re wondering the same thing…
