Actress Amanda Peet appeared on TBS’ “Conan” last night where she talked about her new show on IFC, “Brockmire.” Host Conan O’Brien noted Peet and her co-star, Hank Azaria, have “really great chemistry together.” Peet: “We're both alcoholics and we both love baseball.” Co-host Andy Richter replied, “That's a great Match.com.” Peet: “It sounds kind of refreshing.” The show contains several sex scenes between Peet and Azaria, with Peet noting, “He's so dear to me and we've been together in 100-degree heat for so long and then all of a sudden he has to pretend to thrust in between my legs and he's right here (in front of my face) and he's narrating all of the sex acts, staring in my eyes. Who can do that? Meryl Streep, I challenge anybody.” O’Brien: “Let's not challenge Meryl Streep to that” (“Conan,” TBS, 5/8).
NBC’s David Feherty appeared on NBC’s “The Tonight Show,” where he gave host Jimmy Fallon golf club heads covers in the shape of himself. Feherty said “there’s something voodoo-ish about people all over country who are inserting something into a stuffed effigy of me.” The covers also have recorded messages, including Feherty saying, “Who farted?” and “I have a driver up my arse and I’m smiling.” Fallon said of his golf game, “To be really honest, I don’t even try to improve.” Feherty: “That is the perfect attitude towards golf. As long as you don’t care, then it can be fun.” Feherty said the “people that care about golf, unless you’re a tour professional or something like that, are just boring people” (“The Tonight Show,” NBC, 5/8).
Last night’s edition of ABC’s “DWTS” featured PBR rider Bonner Bolton being eliminated. Bolton and his dance partner, Sharna Burgess, appeared on ABC’s “GMA” after their elimination, with ABC’s Lara Spencer noting Bolton was “paralyzed from the neck down” after a riding accident. Bolton: “I was laying face up in a hospital bed wondering if I was ever going to walk again” (“GMA,” ABC, 5/9).
