Episodes Promo: Matt LeBlanc Auditions For Role of Himself

BuzzSugar — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 15:00:51 -0800

I was ultracurious about how former Friend Matt LeBlanc would do on Showtime's scripted comedy Episodes when the project was announced a couple months ago. Lucky me, that curiosity was sated at the Winter TCA, when Showtime debuted a promo for the show.

Though it doesn't include any actual footage from the the series, this satirical clip shows LeBlanc being forced to audition for the role of a lifetime: himself. And you know what? It's pretty hilarious. If this an indication of the irreverence that Episodes will display weekly, count me in. I'm also really digging the salt-and-pepper hair LeBlanc's rocking, not to mention his reaction to finding out that he's actually the show's punchline.

Are You Interested in UK / US TV Series "Episodes"?

PopSugarUK — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 00:02:01 -0700

Matt LeBlanc is coming back to TV in a new comedy series looking behind the scenes of the television industry called Episodes. The BBC and the American channel Showtime have teamed up for the show which is about a British couple "whose hit UK show is turned into a dumbed-down American sit-com starring Matt LeBlanc" - so Matt will play himself. It certainly sounds like it could be an amusing look at the TV industry, and the set up is recognisable to every television viewer, but does it intrigue you? Tell me if you're interested, and if you have any ideas who should play the British couple I'd love to hear your suggestions!

Matt LeBlanc Returns to TV as Matt LeBlanc

Matt LeBlanc's career hasn't exactly been blossoming since his days as Joey Tribbiani, but Friends fans will be happy to know that he's returning to the small screen on a new Showtime comedy called Episodes. The show focuses on a British couple who find their successful show in the UK adapted into a "dumbed-down" American sitcom starring LeBlanc, which means he'll be playing himself on the show.

With popular BBC shows like The Office and Skins adapted for American audiences, the premise for Episodes is timely and sounds like it has the potential to be pretty funny. Plus, LeBlanc poking fun at himself just might be gold - are you excited to welcome him back to TV?

Do You Want to See a Friends Movie?

PopSugarUK — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 00:00:00 -0700

A Friends spinoff movie appears to be closer than ever after comments made over the weekend, by James Michael-Tyler who played Gunther in the hit show. He said, "Friends: The Movie is definitely on. I still keep in touch with a lot of the cast and they say that they are really keen." With the success of the Sex and the City movie, and the second one on its way, it must be tempting to the cast although as Lisa Kudrow pointed out, the shows had very different formats. Still, she says she remains open to the prospect of it, fifteen years later. I'd like to know if you would like to see Chandler, Joey, Ross, Rachel, Monica and Phoebe reunited on the big screen? Let me know!

Do You Think a "Friends" Movie Is a Good Idea?

PopSugar — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 12:00:31 -0700

After the success of the Sex and the City movie, we weren't that surprised to hear the rumor resurface that Friends could be the next TV show to hit the big screen. There's been talk of the project for years, but Jennifer Aniston supposedly hadn't expressed enough interest in doing the film until now. Friends is still one of our favorite shows ever, but do you think it's a good idea to make it a movie?

Foodie Flashback: Matt LeBlanc Loves Mother's Cookies

YumSugar — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 09:10:55 -0700

I know, it's hard to believe, but we love cookies here at the Sugar HQ. We talked about them for so long on Friday, that I ended up doing a YouTube search to find old cookie commercials. I was sorting through the odds and ends - strangely there are a ton of homemade cookie commercials on YouTube - when I came across this one from Mother's Cookies. It's about Mother's Cookies - you know you love those Circus Animals - joining forces with ice cream, and it features Friends' Matt LeBlanc. If you don't believe me, watch the commercial yourself, just read more.

The Results Are In: Recast Who's the Boss?

BuzzSugar — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 14:25:49 -0800

Every Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge, where I ask you to choose new actors for a classic TV show or movie. The reader who submits the best cast wins a BuzzSugar t-shirt!

Most of all, I loved the suggestions put forth this week for recasting the role of Angela Bower's mom, Mona Robinson. I would love to see all these fantastic actresses play this role! Check out some of my favorite Mona ideas:

Goldie Hawn (WhiplashGirlchild)
Kate Flannery (mamaseacat)
Sissy Spacek (Amanda-La)
Swoosie Kurtz (sfmastiffmom)
Jane Fonda (leeluvfashion)
Marlo Thomas (psterling)

Fierce ladies, all! I also like the idea of Felicity Huffman playing Angela, as suggested by jlynn122, and I think Ellen Page would make a very cool Samantha, which kersalli cleverly thought up. Overall, though, my favorite recast list this week comes from audreystar! To see who audreystar picked along with a new cast photo, read more

audreystar's cast:
Tony Micelli - Matt LeBlanc
Angela Bower - Christina Applegate
Samantha Micelli - Miley Cyrus
Jonathan Bower - Cole Sprouse
Mona Robinson - Shirley Maclaine

Amy Winehouse's concerned in-laws are asking that her fans boycott buying her records until she and her husband can get medical treatment for their drug addictions. At this point, we're in favor of any tactic that would prevent her from hurting herself any further. - BBC News
Matt LeBlanc's former manager of one year has filed a suit claiming that LeBlanc owes her around $1 million dollars for career advice she continued to give him after they parted ways. Sounds like she should've gotten a more iron-clad contract for those later years. - TMZ
Apparently Nick Hogan was cited earlier this month for speeding and driving without wearing his seat belt. We're hoping his accident from the other night was a wake up call for his reckless behavior. - The Smoking Gun
Oliver Hudson and his wife Erinn Bartlett welcomed their first son, Wilder Brooks, last Thursday. Congrats to the happy couple and their famous family! - E! Online
Danny DeVito will be the first guest on the upcoming season premiere of The View, where Whoopi will be making her official start as a regular host. Hopefully he spends the night before with Clooney and limoncello to make Whoopi's first show that much more interesting. - TMZ
