It’s true”), and wonderfully absurd moments such as Charo gyrating behind a seated Brad Garrett as Blondie, recipient of the Icon award, performed “One Way or Another” live. Members of the cast of Glee were on hand to accept their Future Classic award shortly after the cast of Bosom Buddies celebrated its 30th anniversary. (Cue Jane Lynch who said, “I was just thinking that, um, if we have a 30 year anniversary thing, I’ll probably be dead. And it made me so sad. But I hope you all have fun. And that you say, you know, ‘We miss Jane.’”) But even Glee got the retro treatment when the all-star TV Land Glee Club performed a closing rendition of ”Don’t Stop Believin’” led by David Hasselhoff and Marilu Henner. (The back-up “singers” included Todd Bridges, Joyce DeWitt, Jamie Farr, Marla Gibbs, Howard Hesseman, Shirley Jones, Richard Karn, Richard Moll, Marion Ross, Jimmie Walker, Marcia Wallace and Fred Willard.) As amazing as that sounds — watch it here — it’s the sound bites that we will remember. Here, some of the evening’s best.
30th Anniversary: Bosom Buddies (presented by Jay Leno)
Tom Hanks: “For 39 measly episodes, all we did was laugh. And Tom Selleck and Magnum, P.I. still suck compared to Bosom Buddies. ABC at 8!”
Holland Taylor: “You know, when we were actually on, we were nowhere. No one paid the slightest attention. And I think Tom and Peter had one television interview in some state, it wasn’t even national, and they had one radio interview in which Tom mentioned that I was 38. I was just so grateful when he got back to rehearsal, I told him how glad I was that he mentioned that because I felt everyone should know. In any case, I think we had a wonderful time partly because we were nowhere and nobody, and nobody was paying any attention. We weren’t in contention, we weren’t in competition. We were just doing our show. And we didn’t give a rat’s ass about anything else, and how fun was that? And we’ve all kept up. And Tom Hanks is adorable in that for all of the pressures of his life, ‘cause he is a mogul, he’ll write the occasional letter to you for no damn reason. So, he got it from me.” READ FULL STORY »
