Greg Grunberg: TV Guide News

Ask Ausiello | 4/2/2008
Q: Thanks for the awesome interview with Greg Grunberg in your latest vodcast. He seriously is the sweetest, nicest actor ever. Oh, and whatever the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel is paying you for all the shameless promotion you're giving them, it's not enough. Seriously. A: It's the least I could do after they went and named a freakin' cocktail after my favorite people in the world: Ausholes! Look, proof! And a recipe! OK, I'm out of time. After you're done mixing your Ausholtini, head over to... read more

Executive producer John Viola's new home was transformed into a casino with blackjack, poker, roulette and craps games at play. Although cast member Tom Arnold did not make an appearance, the police did after neighbors complained about the noise.... read more
Heroes' Greg Grunberg Tries Group Sex | Today's News: Our Take | 1/30/2008
Heroes may have halted production, but reading minds isn't Greg Grunberg's only superpower; he also has a knack for employing out-of-work television actors. Grunberg recently teamed up with Felicity/Alias director Lawrence Trilling to coproduce, write and star in Group Sex, a film that began shooting Jan. 28 in Los Angeles. "This was a no-brainer," Grunberg jokes of his latest gig, which costars James Denton (Desperate Housewives), Tom Arnold, Katherine Narducci and Henry Winkler. "I had all... read more
Cloverfield Director Promises Monster-size Payoff... But No Grunny | Today's News: Our Take | 1/11/2008
Looking for clues about Cloverfield, Lost executive producer J.J. Abrams' latest hush-hush project, which hits theaters Jan. 18? You're not alone. TV Guide spoke with director Matt Reeves — who collaborated with childhood buddy Abrams on TV's Felicity — and he coughed up a few details about the movie. For one, unlike Lost, the film will present a clear look at its creature. "It pays off. At the end of the day, you see everything," Reeves promises of the New York City-smashing beast.... read more
Pandora's Box | Heroes | 12/4/2007
Episode Recap: "Powerless"I’m trying to figure out what to write, so I’m going over my notes and the last thing I wrote was: "the pet. bro. are so cut"… then Nathan gets shot! WTF.I knew it was coming. A political assasination was predictable at 9:59pm.Possible Spoiler: This is what I’ve heard of the fallen heroes: dead, uncertain and healed. We know Maya was healed. I’m glad she survived. Personally, I’d pick Nathan over her, but the best way to... read more
"We All Have Our Roles to Play" | Heroes | 11/6/2007

The writers’ are on strike, NBC is green and Heroes is back!If you’re reading this, there is a good chance you are a regular at the Heroes TV Guide blog. Let’s get right to it.Last week, I mentioned Mr. Bennet’s sloppy handy work in Ukraine. I knew he would get caught! He also destroyed the remaining paintings. Two of which, came true in tonight’s episode. The battle between Kensei and Hiro and Peter’s... read more
All In the Family! | Heroes | 10/23/2007
Episode Recap: "Fight or Flight"What would you do if you were faced with your greatest fear?It was around this time last season that Eden sacrificed herself. I was shocked when she fought against Sylar and managed to take her own life before he could steal her power. Tonight, Ricky sacrificed himself as well. He may not have stuck his finger into a socket on his own, but he did lie to protect Peter and his sister. In the end, he paid with his life. He literally was “toast." So, Peter and... read more

Who's Your Daddy? | Heroes | 10/16/2007
Episode Recap: "The Kindness of Strangers"This wasn’t the strongest episode of the second season, but it did offer some insight. Not every chapter of a story is meant to be entertaining. Each chapter has a purpose: Some may hold solutions, while others bridge the gaps between clues. I know many have complained about the increase of characters. The truth is, in order to have death, we need more life. I can’t think of a former Hero I am ready to part with, so if a newbie bites the... read more
Let's Talk Heroes! Who can Claire trust? | Heroes | 10/16/2007

What's In The Box? | Heroes | 10/9/2007
Episode Recap: "Kindred"I always doubted Candace’s “death.” In the season finale, she was lying on the floor defeated and lifeless, but it didn’t make sense. If she had died, her body would have changed to its original physical appearance. From the remarks she made about her weight and eating habits, I knew she wasn’t the thin, pretty brunette from last season or the tall redhead from this episode. Sylar proved my theory correct: she was an older, overweight woman. We... read more
Did Mrs. Petrelli Join the Other Fallen Heroes? | Heroes | 10/2/2007
Episode Recap: "Lizards" Warning. This is your SPOILER ALERT! If you have not watched this week’s episode, please do not read this blog/recap until you do . . . Leapin' regenerating lizards! I jumped out of my seat at the end of the show and did a happy dance. This episode was all about the heroes we know, love and have missed!We knew Peter survived. We also knew he got a haircut and lost his memory. Does “the box” really hold his past? I’m glad to see he still has all of... read more

Heroes Behind the Scenes on YouTube | TV Guide News Report | 9/27/2007
Can't get enough of Heroes? Thanks to cast member Adrian Pasdar, fans can get a special behind the scenes look at some of their favorite actors from the show. Pasdar has posted a series of videos on YouTube under the name "Buckshotwon." "They're little snapshots into the life of what we do when we're not filming," he says. The videos range from simple — Hayden Panettiere shopping for shoes in Paris — to stylized — Milo Ventimiglia and Jack Coleman doing an improv Pellegrino... read more
Will More Heroes Suffer Mr. Nakamura's Fate? | Heroes | 9/25/2007
Episode Recap: "Four Months Later...." (September 24, 2007)Of all the shows I follow, this was the premiere that had me fidgeting in my cubicle all day. I have never missed an episode. I nearly fell out of my chair when I received an email this past summer, saying that I would be the new Heroes blogger. This blog is important to TV Guide and Heroes fans alike. I myself used to read it every Tuesday morning before and after meeting my co-workers around the Heroes water-cooler. Needless to say, I... read more
At the 2007 Emmys: Part 1 | TV Matt'rs | 9/14/2007
Friday, Sept. 14, 8:21 am/ETAs you may have surmised by Ben Katner's byline on Friday's Today's News blog, I am en route to the Emmys in the Los Angeles of the California. Seat 23F, two nice nonsmelly ladies sitting next to me, waiting for the plane to pull away from the gate. Window seat. No dents in the wing — always a good sign in my book. The flight attendant is giving that spiel about, "If you are not headed to Los Angeles...," where I always expect (but never get) some poor sap... read more

"We are having the greatest time ever in Asia," Greg Grunberg tells TV Guide.

Will Catalina and Earl Compete for Girls? | TV Guide News Report | 7/18/2007
Despite the hot night, there was a chill vibe in the air at the NBC upfront party on the Beverly Hilton rooftop. Celebs like Heroes’ Greg Grunberg and ER's John Stamos kept cool with electronic mini-fans the network handed out to guests. As they noshed on roast beef, pasta and loads of pastries, partygoers could unwind in cabanas, mingle with the masses, or, in the case of NBC’s biggest stars, dish to TV Guide about the upcoming season of their hit show. My Name Is Earl’s Nadine... read more

Seen and Heard at the Upfronts | First Look: Hottest Fall TV | 5/15/2007
Stars Break for RetailOn the first day of upfronts in New York City, a slew of celebs spent some time at the poshest place in town, the Lucky Club, a gift suite at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. While Hayden Panettiere and her mom got blinged out with Lia Sophia baubles, the Heroes boys picked up some sunglasses.

February 12, 2007: All We Can Do Is Run | Heroes | 2/13/2007
Tonight, everyone had a different agenda, and of course, plans went awry and things got messier than they already are. And what would a Heroes episode be without some murders? I wouldn't want any of these people chasing me... that is, unless I had a power of my own. But there was a departure from the heroes using or testing their powers tonight, with the exception of Sylar (and he's no "hero" in my eyes). More on him later....The episode picked up right where it left us last week: with Nathan.... read more
Festival Honors Idol, Heroes, Betty and Others | Today's News: Our Take | 1/23/2007
Sure, Golden Globes and Emmys are nice. But there's another big honor that TV shows covet — being a part of the Museum of Television & Radio's Paley Festival in L.A. The 24th-annual event, which this year takes place March 1-15, pays tribute to hot series by screening an episode followed by a question-and-answer session with the cast.

Scoop! Which Fellow Heroes Will Matt Meet First? | Today's News: Our Take | 11/8/2006
As part of a Tuesday visit to the TV Guide offices, Heroes' Greg Grunberg revealed which similarly enabled characters lawman Matt Parker will cross paths with first. "I just shot scenes with Hayden [Panettiere, Claire] and Milo [Ventimiglia, Peter]," he shared with TVGuide.com. The threesome, however, do not all share a scene together. "No, but almost," said Grunberg. "We're in the same location, investigating the same murder." Wait, so does Peter actually meet the cheerleader whom he has to... read more
