That’s right. I’m doing a 10-minute phoner with Marion Ross (aka Mrs. Cunningham and Trix Gilmore) Wednesday. You can touch me.
You can also ask her a question. I’ll make sure she hears the best of the best when she phones PopWatch to chat about TV’s All-Time Funniest: A Paley Center for Media Special (premiering May 9 on ABC). Apparently, TV fans across the country were asked to choose the funniest characters in the following eight categories: fathers, mothers, kids, relatives, neighbors, friends, bosses, and co-workers. (Naturally, Mrs. C is a contender on the mom ballot.)
Look for her answers on PopWatch May 9.








Would she ever pose for Vanity Fair?
Did Joanie really love Chacie?
When Marion tries to spice up their seemingly hum-drum lives and she cooks an exotic meal and dresses up in a harem girl costume, how hard was it (or wasn’t it) for her to perform a belly dance in front of Howard?
Any chance of her reprising her role as Ida (who played by MR completley rocked) on Brothers & Sisters?
What was up with the sexual tension between Mrs. Cunningham and the Fonz?
I’m curious to hear if there was ever a job she turned down that she regrets a little bit? Surely she must have been offered a few VH1 reality shows here and there. And can we campaign to get her a role in the upcoming Arrested Development movie? She could play Bob Loblaw’s mom!
Why ask? You are not going to ask them. There were a ton of great questions for Neil Patrick Harris – and not one…ONE…was answered.
Don’t ask if you are not going to use!

OK…my faux-pas! Did not see the recently added NPH interview.
My apologies!
Did she ever get on the back of Fonz’es motorcycle?
Would she consider being the voice of reason on “The View”?
Can’t she call in an old favor at ABC and somehow get caught up in a Hurley fantasy/flashback on “Lost”? I’d love to him talking reason with her at the institution as “Mrs. C” or would that make Happy Days cause another show to jump the shark?
Would you ever considering doing Desperate Housewives? A version of Mrs. C – even someone that dressed and acted like they were in the 50′s would be so cool – and odd – and perfect for that show.
How did you like working on The Gilmore Girls?
I’ve heard that you prefer to work on TV rather than on Broadway and film. What makes all the difference for you and why?
