Cloris Leachman
Earmuff your horses. Cloris Leachman is checking into the hospital at the heart of HawthoRNe, TNT's new medical drama premiering Tuesday, June 16, and starring Jada Pinkett Smith and Michael Vartan.
Apparently still enjoying some heat from her recent Dancing with the Stars run, Leachman will play Mrs. Lachman (heh), a cantankerous patient who terrorizes the nurses — Pinkett Smith's Chief Nurse Christina Hawthorne included — by, for example, throwing perfectly good Jell-O at them.
Speaking of Jell-O ... former Cosby kid ...

It was another astonishing Cloris Leachman moment. When the cameras stopped rolling on Tuesday night, pro Derek Hough pulled Leachman into his arms and took her for a breathtaking spin around the floor. "Wasn't that brilliant?" Michael "Lord Of The Dance" Flatley asked after the show. "He ran right out, the first one, gave her a kiss and took her for a spin. World-class. Hats off to Derek."
The orchestra kept playing and the crowd gasped as they picked up speed — perhaps wondering why Cloris ...

Jeers to Dancing with the Stars! I love this show, but I feel like with Cloris Leachman, it has "jumped the shark"! Sure, she's funny and entertaining. But to have her stay on the show only because of that - because she sure can't compete with the others in the long run - isn't fair to the people who at least are trying to dance and getting voted off before her.

Anyone else going through Olympics withdrawal? Mine started around the time the Olympic flame was extinguished during Sunday night’s broadcast of the closing ceremonies. I felt a sense of deflation as I watched replays of many of the games’ most thrilling moments. Also a sense of loss, even as I was being dazzled one more time by the pyrotechnics (presumably real) of the final spectacular, with a return of the drummers and gravity-defying performers amid a reprise, albeit on a somewhat smaller scale, of the human light show from the opening ceremonies, with shimmering movement and color holding us spellbound. (At least until the British showed up, with their tacky-by-comparison half-time-lite show. It’s going to be hard for anyone to measure up to China’s showmanship.)How am I going to fill my days and especially my nights now that I no longer have Bob Costas as my professional escort? What a great job he did as host and interviewer, always keeping his cool, even...

The Comedy Central Roast of Bob Saget courtesy Comedy Central
Cheers to Cloris Leachman for burning down the house at the Comedy Central Roast of Bob Saget. I'm still not sure what the octogenarian Oscar winner was doing there, but she racked up bigger laughs than all the younger comics on the dais combined ("I have vibrators older than most of you," she cracked. "The difference is the vibrators still work"). Her targets included everybody from ex-costar Mary Tyler Moore ("a total slut") to the guest of dishonor ("I'm glad I got out of sitcoms before you killed them"). And after announcing she was there to "f--- John Stamos," Leachman got a big kiss and a goose from the roastmaster. It was the least Stamos could do, considering he'd said her "first STD was the plague." (And those are just the jokes I could repeat!)• Share your own raves and rants about other shows on the Reader Cheers & Jeers discussion board.• We may feature your Cheer or Jeer on TVGuide.com or in TV Guide magazine!
