Hello, and welcome to my first blog. I hope it isn’t too boring.
First of all, thanks for watching and for all the great feedback you leave us at TBS.com. It means so much!
Well, here we are, the episode named "Second Chances." We have yet another fun guest star this week: Jeremy Sisto. Jeremy is great guy! He and I have actually known each other for a while now from playing quite a bit of poker over the last few years. He joked a lot about how much fun he had shooting this episode but that he was sad he didn’t get to play poker with "the Boys." He views that as a coveted thing for a guest star to do. Maybe next time, buddy. Jeremy plays PJ’s ex-flame who brings back old memories. Then they... well, I can’t tell you everything.
I had a ton of fun shooting this one. Brendan seems to be more of a jerk lately and continues as such in this episode. And we finally get to see where Kenny works! The store looked really good. Our design crew does a great job every week building our sets. I was able to sneak a couple of pictures of my dad into the store. Don’t tell my boss. They are pictures of him as a kid wearing boxing gloves. If you look closely, you can see one hanging on the wall and another in a later shot on the counter. I got the idea from Jamie Kaler, who has a picture of his dad in his/Mike’s apartment. It’s the little things that are the most fun.
Working with Jim Gaffigan is always a good time, but we often get into trouble. We are not shy about trying to get each other to laugh in the middle of a take. Everyone has fun, but for some reason Jim and I can’t seem to keep a straight face when we work together. We like to goof around — everyone does — but sometimes we can’t stop laughing. There is a negotiation scene between Mike, Kenny, Bobby and Andy where Jim Gaffigan and Jamie Kaler just kept making me laugh. Then I got them to break. It was a fun week. I hope you can’t tell that we are all on the brink of cracking up.
Thanks for watching!!!
