[MADtv] Michael and Nicole Head for the D-List

[tvmanismadformad]

On this Monday's July 6th, 2009 new episode of Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List, not only will frequent guest Mr. Michael McDonald be guest starring again, but the current star of Rita Rocks and Michael's former partner in crime for 3 years on MADtv will also be appearing in the episode. If you haven't figured it out by now (which if you haven't seriously, how thick is your head?) it's non other than Mrs. Nicole Sullivan. Could we be seeing the reunion of the 2 cast members who brought us such great characters like Clyde and Judith ("Literally"), and Frank and Susan Caydel? I know I hope so!

Here is a press release.

"Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List” (10 p.m. on Bravo): After failing to win a Grammy, Kathy decides to try to reclaim the spotlight by writing a tell-all book about her friends and family. Michael McDonald (“MADtv”) and Nicole Sullivan (“Rita Rocks”) guest star".

I'm excited for this. i really hope Nicole is in a lot of it. In season one she was on for about 2 seconds it seemed.

I love this show. I already Tivo'd it lol.

Oh my God, I just saw this TV Guide preview of the episode tonight, and this looks like it could be big!

It's a mama panorama in this episode, which spins around Kathy's mother, the boxed-wine aficionado Maggie, who's emerged as a popular series figure in her own right. It all begins with Kathy's latest ploy to rise to A-list glory: She's set to pen a gossipy tell-all book about her peers, her significant others — and Ryan Seacrest, of course. Certainly Kathy's mom will be targeted as comical book fodder, so Kathy makes preemptive amends by granting Maggie a series of wishes. High on the wish list is a trip to California wine country with MADtv players Michael McDonald and Nicole Sullivan.

That's right, a tour through California's wine country with Kathy, her mom, and Michael and Nicole! If this is the actual plot of the episode, and not just a way to type Michael and Nicole's name into this, this could be a big MADtv reunion! Damn geographical inconviniences that befoul me! I will find a way to watch this episode!

I'm confused. Has this already aired this past monday (6th) or will it be next monday (13th)?

[tvmanismadformad]

No, it aired yesterday. I didn't put a date because I thought people could tell from the date the article was added. Live and learn, and I'll remember to add a date next time.

I saw a clip of this from the Bravo website. In it, Nicole and Michael do go with Kathy and her mom to wine country in a party bus. What's great is that Nicole is credited as "Former MADtv Star", despite the fact that she has done a lot of things since then, and Michael is credited as "Currently Kathy's Stalker"

Also, here's a little tid bit fact from the episode. Kathy and Nicole live on the same street, so if you can find Kathy's house, Nicole's is not far away!

I heard that too when Kathy said "she lives on the same street". I was like "You live that close to the Vancome Lady and you don't have her on the show more?!!?" lol

It was a funny episode, I love Kathy Griffin though, I think she's hilarious, Nicole wasn't in a lot of it, but it was nice to see her. Michael appears randomly on the show, I think Kathy and him are good friends.

I am so with you on the living near Nicole thing. Must be a contractual reason or something, like Lifetime doesn't want her there or something.

Kathy and Michael are good friends. I think I remember hearing that they went through Groundlings together. The friendship can be proven from just this past March when Kathy hosted the Best of Michael McDonald episode of MADtv. I think she has also been good friends with Nicole for a while. That's probably how Nicole got that guest spot on Suddenly Susan.

I still havent been able to find a torrent of it...

[potroastpig]

they've been replaying it a lot on BRAVO.

Unfortunately the Bravo we get here in Canada is not the same as i the US.

[tvmanismadformad]
