Edie Falco: TV Guide News

30 Rock's Tina Fey: "I Hope Edie Falco Will Be Back" | Today's News: Our Take | 3/25/2008
The secret to 30 Rock's guest-casting success? Reversing the formula employed at Saturday Night Live. "With the exception of Jerry Seinfeld, who volunteered [to guest-star] and we leapt at it, every other time we have written the part first and then [cast it]," Tina Fey tells TVGuide.com. "Then it's coming organically from the stories. Doing the reverse of SNL — where you say, 'We have this person. What can we do with them?' — has worked well for us."What sort of guest stars does the Rock have lined up for Season 2's return on April 10? "Will Arnett is back," Fey confirms, "and Dean Winters will be back.... And I hope Edie Falco will be back," as Jack Donaghy's uberliberal ex-lover. It was then that I suggested that 30 Rock pull Ashley Dupré out of hiding and engage in some stunt-casting that would put Britney-on-Mother to utter shame. "We should get her!" Fey laughed, before sharing: "Small world — one of our writers used to live in the same apartment building... read more
Bada Bing! Edie Falco Gets Her Own... Sitcom? | Today's News: Our Take | 2/21/2008
Showtime is really racking up the classy actresses, eh? Edie Falco is the latest Emmy bait to get her own show on the cable network, following in the prestigious, high-minded footsteps of Mary-Louise Parker (Weeds) and Toni Collette (the upcoming The United States of Tara). Falco's as-yet-untitled show is described as a dark comedy about a strong-willed inner-city nurse whose competence on the job contrasts with her disastrous personal life.I'm intrigued. After The Sopranos, of course, it's difficult to imagine Falco in any role that doesn't call for a severe manicure, a pan of ziti, and a potty mouth. But she has played un-Carmela-like roles in her celebrated stage work and in small films like Judy Berlin and Sunshine State. And she demonstrated some zingy comic timing with Alec Baldwin ("I love that we both treat sex as a competition") during her too-brief guest run on 30 Rock as a whale-torture-opposed congresswoman. So I'm in. How about you? — Mickey O'Connor read more
Cheers: SAG Sings The Sopranos' Praises | Cheers & Jeers | 1/28/2008
Cheers to the Screen Actors Guild Awards for paying proper respect to The Sopranos. True, it would've been exciting if SAG had chosen up-and-comers like Mad Men or Damages, but those shows will have many more years to win prizes. (Fresh blood was rewarded with Tina Fey's and Alec Baldwin's well-deserved comedy wins for 30 Rock.) By honoring James Gandolfini, Edie Falco and the entire mob ensemble, it acknowledged the importance of HBO's landmark drama for one last time. Even after The Sopranos' swan song, SAG didn't fuhgeddaboudit.Check out TVGuide.com's Screen Actors Guild Awards coverage:• Winners & Nominees• Live Blog: Show Recap, Backstage with the Winners and More• Photos of the red carpet's hottest fashions• Exclusive red-carpet videos read more
SAG Goes Mad for Men | Roush Dispatch | 12/20/2007
I suppose I could dwell on the fact that a major Hollywood guild has once again ignored the very existence of TV's finest acting ensemble, Friday Night Lights — in favor of the mugging and posturing on Boston Legal. As they'd say on another SAG favorite, Grey's Anatomy: Seriously? Is it wrong to want to form our own picket line?Also: What's up with snubbing Pushing Daisies and its fantastical cast?And yet the Screen Actors Guild Awards nominations, announced Thursday morning, did shower love on my favorite new show of 2007, AMC's Mad Men, and its terrific star, Jon Hamm (who has just joined the cast of the remake of the sci-fi classic The Day the Earth Stood Still, with Keanu Reeves as Klaatu, which sounds appropriately robotic). So while not all may be forgiven, the wound stings a little less.My favorite part of the SAG Awards is the ensemble-cast category. Because let's face it, most great TV shows rely on cast chemistry. Even The Closer, which on face value looks like a... read more
30 Rock: The Height of Hilarity | Roush Dispatch | 11/16/2007
Every week, after laughing myself silly at the warped lunacy of 30 Rock on Thursday nights and then being greeted by the stubbornly low ratings on Friday morning, I’m more than ever convinced that this inspired comedy is the new Arrested Development. (And not just because it’s a dark-horse Emmy winner, also taking home the best-comedy trophy after its first season.) Here’s another cult classic that is apparently too off-kilter to be more than an acquired taste, unfortunately destined to fly under the radar.This view isn’t coming from a comedy snob. I get a kick out of most of CBS’ more mainstream Monday comedies, including the new Big Bang Theory, which gets funnier and more confident by the week. On Thursdays I’m still delighted by 30 Rock’s time-period rival, the sweetly campy Ugly Betty. But 30 Rock strikes me as something special, something to treasure, firing on all burners with a wild and hilariously absurdist sensibility.This week’s... read more
