Jeffrey Tambor: TV Guide News

Ricky Gervais Adds Fey and Others to This Side of the Truth | Today's News: Our Take | 3/21/2008
Ricky Gervais is assembling a diverse, star-studded cast for his upcoming film, This Side of the Truth — and he just added four more talents to his roster, starting with Tina Fey.Along with the 30 Rock star, Gervais has also tapped Christopher Guest, Jeffrey Tambor and Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman (aka the PC man to Justin Long's Mac) for the flick. They'll be joining a cast that already includes Jennifer Garner and Jonah Hill, among others. The film imagines a world in which lying doesn't exist (seriously). When a dorky "loser" (played by Gervais) invents the concept, his own world, not surprisingly, changes exponentially. What's your take on the lineup? Are you ready for a Gervais-led film? Or wish he would stick to the small screen? — Anna DimondUse our Online Video Guide to get some Extra clips of Ricky Gervais. read more
Jeers: An Un-Welcome Return for Tambor | Cheers & Jeers | 2/12/2008
Jeers to Welcome to the Captain for wasting the talents of Jeffrey Tambor. The guy costarred in two of the greatest sitcoms of all time, Arrested Development (as felonious patriarch George Bluth and his hippie-dippie twin Oscar) and The Larry Sanders Show (as unctuous sidekick Hank Kingsley), but he's stranded in CBS' laugh-free new dud as washed-up ex-Three's Company writer "Uncle Saul." (Captain can't even figure out how to make an in-joke out of the fact that Tambor was on the jiggle-com's spin-off, The Ropers.) But don't lose hope, Tambor fans: Possibly due to the success of the Jason Bateman/Michael Cera vehicle Juno, there's talk of an Arrested Development movie. As Hank Kingsley used to say, "Hey now!"• Read and react to Bruce's opinions on Katie Couric's Q&A of Hillary Clinton, Lipstick Jungle and more!• 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... read more
