Baldwin! Jess Mariano! Corddry!

There’s something wonderful about reading about shows that don’t necessarily suck yet, even if you have to read Hollywood “trade” magazines to do so. Also I’ve always loved the concept of casting, matching the right actor to the right role, or the wrong one, for more hilarious results. In the wonderful world of high school theater we could spend hours putting together ideal casts for shows we weren’t even planning on doing. That’s how much I love casting (I know, I know — NERD!).

Highlights from the article:

• Tina Fey’s pilot, starring Alec Baldwin. Tina Fey is a very, very funny lady, and I kind of love her. I also enjoy being told I look like Tina Fey. So the more Tina Fey in the world, the better.
• Milo Ventimiglia (Jess from Gilmore Girls) in a show called Heroes. Does this mean he won’t be popping in to Stars Hollow to break up Logan and Rory any time soon? Because I will be pissed if he doesn’t. Also, this show isn’t a pilot for the CW (the new WB/UPN hybrid), which is huge step up for Mr. Ventimiglia.
• And at the very end of the article, a show starring Rob Corddry about a 32-year-old who lives with his parents. Former Daily Show correspondents, go forth and prosper! Demetri Martin will be the next one to make it big, mark my words.
