Those three looks were different?
The funniest part is that his acting isn’t any worse than the ‘real’ actors!
Marcy Rylan is a phenomenal actress.
Actually, it really was. I hate to say it, but that was painful…
At least he had an awesome looking tie.
And did that girl in the pics used to be on Guiding Light?
yes, she was Lizzie Spaulding on GL.
I miss GL. ::::sigh::::
Me too!So does my mom. She still refuses to watch the ending of it.
I loved it–I love Michael!
LOL “I’m sorry I assumed this was common knowledge”
I had the best time watching this during my lunch break. Go Allen Cook!
“Swordplay gone awry”. tee hee.
Go Allen! Playing a scene with Eric and Melody is closer than I could ever dream of getting to them.
Option 4:

2. I DID leave the stove on!
3. No. I didn’t. It’s ok.
Good lord, that is funny!
hahaha this is awesome, Michael. It sort of reminds me of Pee Wee’s cameo in the movie at the end of “Pee Wee’s Big Adventure:”
“Paging Mr. Herman, Mr. Herman you have a telephone call at the front desk.”
So funny and Hispanicmatchmakers
Dearest Michael, let me count the ways….ahh, ok, none. But that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t want to see you as the new judge on Idol! “That’s more in your wheel house, dawg!”
