Some headlines write themselves, no?That wonderful little CW newcomer I've been telling you about, Privileged, hopefully can secure a place on the pop-culture radar with some quality guest-casting. Case in point: Kathy Najimy (Sister Act, the voice of King of the Hill's Peggy) has been tapped to appear on a pair of episodes, TVGuide.com has learned. Najimy will play a big-time publicist who considers signing twin terrors Sage and Rose as her clients. Her first piece of advice, one would hope: Telling Sage the super-rich snot to pull that pole out of her... assets. Privileged airs Tuesdays at 9 pm/ET, following 90210. Previously, The Hills' Lauren Conrad was announced as a Season 1 guest-star. — Matt MitovichRelated:• Lauren Conrad's New Small-Screen Privilege • Use our Online Video Guide to watch the Privileged pilot read more

"Robin Hood"

This was a pleasant leisurely episode a definite shift in pacing as well as tone from the frenetic previous installment In fact beyond seeing Navi Rawats Amita and David Krumholtzs Charlie behave more like an actual couple than weve seen before and aside from some nice business between Diane Farrs Meghan and Peter MacNicols Larry as they attempt to grow more intimate again I have relatively little to note about this episode Will Patton is quite good at keeping his occasional recurring character Gary Walker from slipping into an utter caricature of the tough cop with the heart of gold and happily for Dylan Bruno and his stunt doubles or both Granger was required only to do one shallow dive and some running pursuit of a suspect Alimi Ballards Sinclair even got to do the diving tackle of the fleeing manA synopsis The episode begins in an ornate bank lobby only the apparent sophistication of the vault keeps it from being just as likely a chamber in a museum An o read more

Kathy Najimy with David Krumholtz, Numbers

This Friday, April 27, on Numbers (10 pm/ET, CBS), Peter MacNicol returns as Charlie's chum Larry while Six Feet Under's Jeremy Sisto guests as a federal attorney in a story dealing with a death-row inmate whose motives for revealing the locations of missing bodies are questioned by Don (Rob Morrow). Holding down the fort in MacNicol's absence (he defected to 24 for much of the year) was Kathy Najimy, who tonight makes her last appearance of the season as Charlie's academic superior, Millie French.

Kathy Najimy, Numbers

Fans of CBS' Numbers (Fridays at 10 pm/ET) should brace themselves, since a new professor is coming to Cal Sci, and it could mean trouble for the tenuous romance between Amita and Charlie. This week, Kathy Najimy joins the cast as Mildred French, Amita and Charlie's very driven boss. Here, the actress — who can also be heard as Peggy Hill on the long-running King of the Hill — explains to TVGuide.com how "Millie" isn't exactly what she seems. TVGuide.com: I've been reading your website, and noticed that you are quite the activist and work with many charities. Kathy Najimy: The funny thing is that I used to do that before I wa read more

How about some nice words ...

Question: How about some nice words about the late Wendie Jo Sperber, who recently lost her battle to cancer? I remember first seeing her in an Afterschool Special and, of course, came to love her on Bosom Buddies. Wendi Jo was talented, funny and helped broaden the standard definition of "sexy" or "attractive" for a whole generation. Like Dana Hill, she was a great talent who still had a lot more to give as a person and a performer when we lost her. Answer: Thanks for that tribute. She was one of those great go-to gals (Kathy Najimy is another) who was not just a terrific comedic character actress, but a character as well who often made a show seem funnier than it really was. Just thinking of that acerbic, wry voice makes me smile. By all accounts, she was loved both on and off screen, and I'm only sorry Wendie Jo Sperber never got a show to call her own that would have made Wendie Jo Sperber the household name Wendie Jo Sperber so deserved to be ... read more
