Get Smart looks okay over all though it seems like Steve Carell is veering toward an excess of slapstick humor

Sit on Stephen’s lap. That would be great! A little disturbing for them probably.

Steve Carell was on TDS last year promoting “Evan Almighty,” and although they didn’t do anything together, Stephen mentioned “Even Stephven” in the toss and how he and Steve never talked off-camera because they hated each other so much. Hilarious!

While it’s rare that Stephen has actors on his show, maybe Steve could come on TCR and sit on Stephen’s lap. XD

If I recall correctly, Jon did say that Steve was going to be on TDS next week.

That’s a plus. Has he ever been on TDS whilst Stephen was doing TCR? They should do some kind of crossover.

haha, I loved how in that interview he said that the role of Mr. Noblet was played by Kevin Spacey. C:

I’ve never seen the original TV show, but I’m looking forward to seeing this movie, hopefully. I think it’s neat how Steve’s the slightest bit envious of his former colleagues preparing to cover the conventions. How awesome would just one little field piece be on TDS be? I’m really looking forwarding to their coverage of it too.

And let us not forget Jane Fonda, under the ruse of promoting “Georgia Rules”. At least that was the conversation Stephen was *trying* to have as Jane attempted to wrestle the focus onto, um, other things.

Au contraire, while it's somewhat unusual, Stephen has indeed had actors on promoting their shows in the past. The interview with Dermot Mulroney from December 2005 was one of my early faves; Mulroney was promoting The Family Stone, and Stephen commented on Mulroney's record of playing fiancés, who would win in a fight between Mulroney and Yo-Yo Ma (Mulroney is also a cellist), and how one convinced "bickering" relatives who'd sat through Thanksgiving with one another to pay to see "bickering" in The Family Stone. Jeff Bridges was also on one of those early shows in 2005 (he was promoting Good Night, and Good Luck and The Squid and the Whale), and I believe Tim Robbins' first visit (also in 2005) was at least partly to promote Zathura. You're right to note that it's not common, though.

Correct me if i’m wrong peeps, but TCR has never had an actor promote a film before? There has been a few actors and none of them actually promoted a movie. TDS in the early vids seems to have more actors, but only when the political scene is kinda dead.

If TCR will have s. carell on, this will be rare, if not a first…
