Question: You mentioned that ...
Question: You mentioned that Patricia Richardson was joining The West Wing later this season. Does that mean an end to her role on Strong Medicine? — Denise P.S. I vacationed in Point Pleasant as well when I was a child. Back in the late '50s. What fun memories! Ausiello: I think you're confusing Point Pleasant with Lavallette, Denise. According to my records, PP wasn't colonized until 1982. Regarding Pat Richardson, she will be juggling both shows.

Question: Got any 24 scoop? — Ryan S. Ausiello: Not to get greedy or anything, but is your full name Ryan Seacrest? If so, Ask Ausiello is on a roll this week with the celeb guests! Now for the 24 scoop: Dennis Haysbert tells me that when President Palmer returns for the season's final six episodes, he'll be working "in the private sector." And no, Sherry won't be joining him. "She'd have to come back from the dead," he notes. "Then it would be science fiction."

Question: What has Alexis ...
Question: What has Alexis Denisof been up to since Angel went off the air? — Jennifer Ausiello: Let's ask his wife, Veronica Mars guest star Alyson Hannigan: "He is experiencing his very first pilot season," she told me on the telephone last week, "which is really cute. Because he came out here and basically just booked things, which led to him being on Buffy and then on Angel. There are all these casting directors out there who have never met him." Aly says she's trying to convince her hubby to "go for comedy because he's very funny, but he's more secure with the one-hour drama. I'm like, "Come on, honey — just try the comedy." (Look for more from my interview with Hannigan in the next AA.)

Question: I am not looking for TV scoop, I want some Ausiello scoop! — K Ausiello: Here's something no one knows: I was the original choice to play Ben on Felicity. Don't believe me? Click here.
Question: You are the ...
Question: You are the highlight of my Wednesdays. My question: When will we find out what the deal is with Claire's baby on Lost? — Tammy Ausiello: I'm hoping the truth comes out next Wednesday, when the show returns with its first original episode in, like, forever. The more pressing issue is whether Claire's even carrying that little demon spawn. Remember, we only saw her from the chest up at the end of the last episode. For all we know, cuckoo Ethan could have fetus-napped the thing. Claire's portrayer, Emilie de Ravin, didn't shed much light on the mystery when we spoke last week, although she did offer up this cryptic clue: "To put it discreetly, everything's at a standstill right now for Claire. She's having some hard times — even more so than [before]." And don't look for an immediate rekindling of the flirtation between her and Charlie (Dominic Monaghan). "I don't think Claire's looking for any kind of relationship right now," she
Question: When will they ...
Question: When will they actually show Hurley's episode on Lost? How long does it take to go from shooting an episode to airing it? — Jill Ausiello: They wrapped his episode last week and it airs March 2, so let's see... six times four, divided by three, carry over the seven, plus two equals... a six-week lead time.

Question: So, what actually ...
Question: So, what actually came out about ABC's Eyes at the TCA press tour? Nobody is telling me anything! — Tony Ausiello: The first episode is fantastic. Subsequent episodes, not so much.
Question: Did you have to ...
Question: Did you have to take that little extra stab at Shannen Doherty in last week's Ausiello Report? It's old news that she doesn't want to go back to Charmed. If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything. — Jeanne Ausiello: That's odd, her publicist basically said the same exact thing to me last week. Your real name wouldn't happen to be Leslie, would it?
