FRIDAY HALL OF FAMERS 03/20/20 - KID ROCK


Sorry I’m late with the Friday Hall of Famers from last week.  This whole “living in isolation” we’re going through may have been par for the course for this sedentarianist, the reason has not been and it’s kind of overwhelming at times.  (I’m fine, by the way;  I hope you all are as well.)

So let’s kick this off.

For March we’re celebrating the League of Themselves, those celebrities who play their own fictional televersions in TV series.  And this week we’re going with....

KID ROCK  

In fact, we’re inducting two Kid Rocks – the one from the main Toobworld and the animated one from the Tooniverse.


From Wikipedia:
Robert James Ritchie (born January 17, 1971), known professionally as Kid Rock, is an American singer-songwriter, rapper, musician, record producer, and actor. In a career spanning 30 years, Rock's musical style alternates between rock, hip hop, and country. A multi-instrumentalist, he has overseen his own production on nine of his eleven studio albums.

Kid Rock started his professional music career as a self-taught rapper and DJ, releasing his debut album Grits Sandwiches for Breakfast in 1990 on Jive Records; his subsequent independent releases The Polyfuze Method (1993) and Early Mornin' Stoned Pimp (1996) saw him developing a more distinctive style which was fully realized on his 1998 album Devil Without a Cause (1998), his breakthrough album, which sold 14 million copies. Devil Without a Cause and his subsequent album, Cocky (2001), were noted for blending elements of hip hop, country, rock and heavy metal. Starting with his 2010 album Born Free, the country music style has dominated his musical direction. He has not rapped on his albums since the 2003 album Kid Rock, with the exception of one track each on Rock n Roll Jesus (2007) and Sweet Southern Sugar (2017).


One acting job which I'm not going to play fast and loose with is his appearance in:



Stacked
-Nobody Says I Love You (2005)
He is credited as the Delivery Man and is just a citizen of Toobworld who bears an uncanny resemblance to Kid Rock.  (However... had I been in need of another appearance as himself to qualify, I could have made the claim he was doing a side gig.  I don't know; maybe his career wasn't going so well at the time.  Luckily we're covered.)

Here are the roles which do qualify him in both fictional universes.....

- Charlie's Angels or Too Pooped to Pop

The Simpsons

FRIDAY HALL OF FAMERS, 03/13/2020 - LIAM NEESON


For the month of March, the Television Crossover Hall of Fame is celebrating the League of Themselves, those fictional televersions of people from the Trueniverse played by those people from the Trueniverse and not played by other actors.  Some early inductees into the Hall for playing themselves include Bob Hope, George Burns, Milton Berle, Jerry Seinfeld, and Dr Joyce Brothers.  Buzz Aldrin is a rare case – inducted as himself and as a multiversal portrayed by several actors.

Next Wednesday is St. Patrick’s Day, so in keeping with that addition to the theme, the Friday Hall of Famers is inducting a member of the League of Themselves from the Old Sod….

LIAM NEESON!

From Wikipedia:
Liam John Neeson OBE (born 7 June 1952) is a Northern Irish actor. He has been nominated for a number of awards, including an Academy Award for Best Actor, a BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role, and three Golden Globe Awards for Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama. Empire magazine ranked Neeson among both the "100 Sexiest Stars in Film History" and "The Top 100 Movie Stars of All Time".

In 1976, Neeson joined the Lyric Players' Theatre in Belfast for two years. He then acted in the Arthurian film “Excalibur” (1981). Between 1982 and 1987, Neeson starred in five films, most notably alongside Mel Gibson and Anthony Hopkins in “The Bounty” (1984), and Robert De Niro and Jeremy Irons in “The Mission” (1986). He landed a leading role alongside Patrick Swayze in “Next of Kin” (1989).

Neeson rose to prominence when he starred as Oskar Schindler in “Schindler's List” (1993). He has since starred in other successful films, including the drama “Nell” (1994), the historical biopic “Michael Collins” (1996), the 1998 film adaptation of Victor Hugo's “Les Misérables”, the epic space opera “Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace” (1999), the biographical drama “Kinsey” (2004), the superhero film “Batman Begins” (2005), the action thriller series “Taken” (2008–2014), the survival film “The Grey” (2011), and the historical drama “Silence” (2016). He also provided the voices of Aslan in “The Chronicles of Narnia” trilogy (2005–2010) and the titular monster in “A Monster Calls” (2016).



Here are the appearances in Toobworld which qualified him for membership in the Hall.

Touched by an Angel
- Life Before Death
(2000)

O'Bservation: I have no information on this yet....

Cubed
- Episode #1.39
(2010)

Bradley Cooper was in the episode as well

Life's Too Short
- Episode #1.1
(2011)


Entourage - The Movie (2015)


From the Entourage Wiki:
Ari Gold is driving his car and talking to Lloyd Lee about Lloyd's wedding when a red light catches him. Ari then notices Liam in the other lane, in his car, also waiting for the green light to come up. When Ari calls out to Liam, Liam coldly exclaims "Go fuck yourself, Ari." Ari calmly suggests Liam forgive and forget, but an unmoved Liam shows Ari the middle finger and then drives off. Ari then shouts out, "Hey, Schindler! Leave no Jew behind"; a joke based on Ari being Jewish and Liam's acclaimed performance as Oskar Schindler, the German industrialist and Nazi Party member, who saved 1,200 Jews during the Holocaust.

Daddy’s Home 2 (2017)

O’Bservation
– Neeson can be heard in the movie the family goes to see.


Neeson has also show up in the dimension of animation.

From the Tooniverse:



Family Guy
- Fighting Irish
(2015)
- Brian's a Bad Father (2014)


Welcome to the Hall, Liam Neeson!

PS:
Today's post is dedicated to nephew Thomas, who is a big fan of Liam Neeson.  In fact, I told Mr. Neeson that he was a fan and he was nice enough to send a message to Thomas.....

FRIDAY HALL OF FAMERS 03/06/20 - PENNY MARSHALL



Last year, Laverne DeFazio was inducted into the Television Crossover Hall of Fame in tribute to Penny Marshall.  (She had been eligible for years, but it always felt as though we had time to do it.)

This year we complete the tribute to the late actress and director by inducting her as herself during the month in which we celebrate the League of Themselves.

From Wikipedia:
Carole Penny Marshall (October 15, 1943 – December 17, 2018) was an American actress, director, and producer. She came to notice in the 1970s for her role as Laverne DeFazio on the television sitcom ‘Laverne & Shirley’ (1976–1983), receiving three nominations for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Television Series Musical or Comedy for her portrayal.

Marshall made her directorial debut with “Jumpin' Jack Flash” (1986) before directing “Big” (1988), which became the first film directed by a woman to gross more than $100 million at the U.S. box office. Her subsequent directing credits included “Awakenings” (1990), which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture, “A League of Their Own” (1992), “Renaissance Man” (1994), “The Preacher's Wife” (1996) and “Riding in Cars with Boys” (2001). She also produced “Cinderella Man” (2005) and “Bewitched” (2005), and directed episodes of the TV series ‘According to Jim’ and ‘United States of Tara’.


Here are the TV series in which she played herself and which qualified her for membership in the TVXOHOF:


Bosom Buddies

(1982)

From the IMDb:
Kip & Henry and their friends put together a cable TV show, to help keep a client and advertise his business. As well as promising him celebrity guest Penny Marshall.

Louie has a revelation, he lives like he is so he sets his sights on a high rise condo. All he needs to do is borrow money from Jim and beat out Penny Marshall for the flat.

ARI GOLD:
 - Oh yeah? Who?
PENNY MARSHALL:

PENNY MARSHALL:
Yeah, I'll tell you what, let's make a deal. You do the whole "schlemiel, schlimazel, Hasenpfeffer Incorporated"
ARI GOLD:
- he's all yours, all right?
PENNY MARSHALL:
- Don't be a schmuck, Ari, okay?
ARI GOLD:
- What?
PENNY MARSHALL:
- It's a great project. It's gonna be a heck of a franchise. The first one takes place in the Kremlin.
ARI GOLD:
Really? Good luck faking Moscow in Vancouver.
PENNY MARSHALL:
No no no. The hell with Vancouver. We're doing it right.
ARI GOLD:
- Kazakhstan?
PENNY MARSHALL:
- Mm-hmm.
ARI GOLD:
Jimmy Whitaker is a spoiled prick. You want to hire Max Ballard. He's Dakota Fanning with a dick.
PENNY MARSHALL:
I heard Ballard was difficult.
ARI GOLD:
He's my next-door neighbor. He is humble as pie. I have been trying to sign that kid for years.
PENNY MARSHALL:
Wow, Ari. He's not even one of your guys.
ARI GOLD:
I am a team player. Boom! You owe me.
PENNY MARSHALL:
Come here.
[They hug it out.]
ARI GOLD:
- Max Ballard.
PENNY MARSHALL:
- Ballard.
ARI GOLD:
 - Quit smoking.
PENNY MARSHALL:
 - All right.


Bones
- The Woman at the Airport
(2006)

REPORTER:
I'm here with Penny Marshall, one of the most prolific "hyphenates" in Hollywood. Actress, producer and director of such hits as "A League Of Their Own" and "Big". Her latest project is "Bred In The Bone", a thriller based on the bestselling novel by crime-fighting anthropologist Dr Temperance Brennan. OK, so how did this all come together?
DR. TEMPERANCE BRENNAN:
I have no idea.
PENNY MARSHALL:
Well, my brother Garry gave me the book, and I liked it, And then this whole bidding war started, and I usually don't get into that kind of thing, but in this case….
REPORTER:
A bidding war? That's got to be a thrill for a first-time author.
DR. TEMPERANCE BRENNAN:
I wasn't actually there.
REPORTER:
You must be a big fan of Penny's films. So which one's your favorite? I enjoyed her humorous treatment of the time/space paradox.
REPORTER:
"Big"! Very funny.
PENNY MARSHALL:
"Time/space paradox"….
REPORTER:
Penny, who is going to write the script?
DR. TEMPERANCE BRENNAN:
Don't I get to do that?
PENNY MARSHALL:
We'll talk.

The Bronx Is Burning
- Past Combatants
(2007)

O’Bservation:
Her appearance in this was archival footage, so somebody on the Yankees or at the police precinct was probably watching ‘Laverne & Shirley’.

Welcome to the Hall, Ms. Marshall....

MARK IN MARCH! 03/2020 TVXOHOF - MARK HAMILL


For me, March is a boring month, save for my brother’s birthday and the occasional Easter.  So for this month’s Television Crossover Hall of Fame big crossover induction – as well as for the weekly inductions as Friday Hall of Famers – we have what I believe is an interesting theme to liven things up.

The League of Themselves!  Those are the people – usually famous in some fashion – who appear as their own “televersions” in a fictional setting.

And this year, we have someone who became famous for one of the best known movie characters, a character he’s finally said goodbye to after 42 years (on-screen, that is.)

MARK HAMILL

From Wikipedia:
Mark Richard Hamill (born September 25, 1951) is an American actor, voice actor, and writer. Hamill is best known for playing Luke Skywalker in the “Star Wars” films, which won him the Saturn Award for Best Actor three times. He is also known for his voice acting in animation and video games, especially for his portrayal of the Joker, beginning with ‘Batman: The Animated Series’ in 1992.  


In 1980, he also made a guest appearance on ‘The Muppet Show’, both as himself and as Luke Skywalker in “The Stars of Star Wars”; this episode also starred C-3PO and R2-D2 who were along with him on a search for Chewbacca.  

He appeared on ‘Saturday Night Live’ playing himself being sold on a “Star Wars”-themed home shopping sale.  Hamill appeared in single episodes of ‘3rd Rock from the Sun’ in 1997, ‘Just Shoot Me!’ in 1998, and ‘The Big Bang Theory’
– the episode in which Sheldon and Amy got married.

Mark Hamill is a member of a very select group within the TVXOHOF – he is being inducted twice over, once for his appearances as himself in Earth Prime-Time, and as his animated self in the Tooniverse.  Off-hand I can only think of one other League of Themselveser who pulled that off – Adam West.  Which figures – two genre icons.

Here are the roles he’s being inducted for in the main Toobworld: 


The Muppet Show
- The Stars of Star Wars
(1980)


America 2-Night
- Legalizing Prostitution
(1978)


3rd Rock from the Sun
- Fifteen Minutes of Dick
(1997)


Just Shoot Me!
- The List
(1998)

Player$
- May The Crunk Be With You
(2004)


The Bronx Bunny Show
- Episode #1.3
(2007)


Nightcap
- The Show Must Go On: Part 2
(2017)


The Big Bang Theory
- The Bow Tie Asymmetry
(2018)

In 1997, the Toobworld Mark Hamill communicated with Space Ghost in the Tooniverse:


Space Ghost Coast to Coast
- Switcheroo
(1997)

As was the case with Ice-T, an inductee from last month, Space Ghost was interviewed the live-action Hamill while he had a Tooniversion Hamill available to be in the studio.

Hrmmmmm

And here are his qualifications from the Tooniverse:


Freakazoid!
- And Fan Boy Is His Name/Lawn Gnomes Chapter IV: Fun in the Sun/Freak's French Lesson
(1995)

O'Bservation:
Just my opinion, but this was the best representation of Hamill in the Tooniverse.


The Simpsons
- Mayored to the Mob
(1998)


Pepper Ann
- The Finale
(2000)
- Unhappy Campers/The Search for Pepper Ann Pearson (2000) ...
- Beyond Good and Evel/One of the Guys (1999)
- Portrait of the Artist as a Young Milo/The Sisterhood (1998)


Johnny Bravo
- Johnny Bravo Goes to Hollywood
(2004)

O'Bservation:
He was recognized as being the CGI version of himself.


The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle
- Amazamoose and Squirrel Wonder: Chapter Three
(2019)

O’Bservation:
This might have been an appearance by the Toobworld Mark Hamill instead of a Tooniverse Hamill. That might be him in the picture, dressed as Shakespeare; I have no clue.


As mentioned in the Wikipedia excerpt, Hamill appeared as himself in a sketch on 'Saturday Night Live', but that belongs in Skitlandia.  One day he'll have enough credits playing himself in sketches - he might even have enough now! - to have his Skitlandean version inducted.


Hamill is also known for being the actor who has portrayed the Joker the most times.  And apparently there's an animated short out there in which the Joker kidnaps Mark Hamill.  But I don't know if that's just a rumor or if it actually exists.

Welcome to the Hall, Mark Hamill.

May the F--#  No.  I’m sure you must be sick of hearing that….

THE FRIDAY HALL OF FAMER, 02/28/20 - LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT


So this month, February has had Detective Odain Tutuola as the TVXOHOF showcase, and Ice-T has been inducted as a member of the League of Themselves with some connection to the fact that his televersion plays Fin in the Toobworld version of ‘Law & Order: Special Victims Unit’.

FRIDAY HALL OF FAMERS FOR 02/21/2020 - ICE-T



Detective Fin Tuotola of ‘Law & Order: Special Victims Unit’ was inducted into the Television Crossover Hall of Fame at the beginning of the month as the February showcase.  Today we dip into the League of Themselves to induct the actor who portrays him. Ice-T has a healthy collection of credits for playing himself in fictional settings.

From Wikipedia:

Tracy Lauren Marrow (born February 16, 1958), better known by his stage name Ice-T, is an American musician, rapper, songwriter, actor, record producer, and author. He began his career as an underground rapper in the 1980s and was signed to Sire Records in 1987, when he released his debut album Rhyme Pays; the second hip-hop album to carry an explicit content sticker after Slick Rick's La Di Da Di. The following year, he founded the record label Rhyme $yndicate Records (named after his collective of fellow hip-hop artists called the "Rhyme $yndicate") and released another album, Power, which went on to go Platinum. He also released several other albums that went Gold.

He co-founded the heavy metal band Body Count, which he introduced on his 1991 rap album O.G.: Original Gangster, on the track titled "Body Count". The band released their self-titled debut album in 1992. Ice-T encountered controversy over his track "Cop Killer", the lyrics of which discussed killing police officers. Ice-T asked to be released from his contract with Warner Bros. Records, and his next solo album, Home Invasion, was released later in February, 1993 through Priority Records. Body Count's next album was released in 1994, and Ice-T released two more albums in the late-1990s.

Since 2000, he has portrayed NYPD Detective/Sergeant Odafin Tutuola on the NBC police drama ‘Law & Order: Special Victims Unit’.


Many of his appearances as himself in TV shows are related to him playing Fin in ‘L&O:SVU’.  There is no Zonk in this because the cases solved by the SVU would make a great TV series in Toobworld and Ice-T does bear an amazing resemblance to Detective Tuotola.


Here is a list of TV shows in which Ice-T played the fictional televersion of himself.



30 Rock
- Hogcock!/Last Lunch (2013)

O’Bservation:

‘TGS’ star did a cameo on ‘Law & Order: Special Victims Unit’… as a corpse.


Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
- Kimmy Sees a Sunset! (2016)

O’Bservation:

Ice-T eulogized an actor who was an extra on ‘Law & Order: Special Victims Unit’.


Younger
- Secrets & Liza (2016)

O’Bservation:

Ice-T was one of the onstage guests at the launch of a new book, “Crown Of Kings” by Edward I.L. Moore.


Deadly Class
- Saudade (2019)
... Ice-T Slot Machine (voice)

O’Bservation:

Even though it was just his voice, having a slot machine about Ice-T confirms his presence in the TV Universe.


Saturday Night Live
- Kit Harington/Sara Bareilles (2019)
... Fin Tutuola (uncredited)

O’Bservation:

Eventually ‘Saturday Night Live’ should be inducted into the TVXOHOF as part of its TV & Television Museum.  And although he was listed in the IMDb as the character he plays, he was actually playing himself playing Fin in a ‘Game of Thrones’ sketch.

And then there’s the Geico TV commercial in which Ice-T is chaperoning a lemonade stand on the front lawn….




And now we come to the multidimensional additions to Ice-T’s tally….


We begin with his televersion from the main Toobworld conversing with Space Ghost from the Tooniverse:



Space Ghost Coast to Coast
- Needledrop (1997)

O'Bservation:
What’s interesting about this particular exchange which separates Ice-T from the other Toobworld guests who have appeared on Space Ghost’s talk show is that he also has a Tooniversion, not just a televersion….



Duckman: Private Dick/Family Man
- A Star Is Abhorred (1997)

O’Bservation:

Cornfed sat next to Ice-T at the MTV Music Video Awards.


American Dad!
- The Census of the Lambs (2018)

O’Bservation:

Tooniverse Ice-T met Hailey Smith at the Law & Order Fest in Langley, where they made a real connection.  Later, Ice-T rescued her and Stan from an old lady making a man suit out of skin.  Ice-T killed the old lady.


Within Skitlandia, Ice-T had further experience in dealing with the Tooniverse, when Dora the Explorer crossed over to the ‘Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon’.

Welcome to the Hall of Fame, Ice-T!
