Thanks to Bruce_F for the heads up.
Fox News anchor Bill O'Reilly is planning to guest star as himself — playing a "potential murder suspect" — on an episode of Rizzoli & Isles this coming season.
He and show creator Janet Tamaro have known each other ever since Tamaro's first TV job at Inside Edition, where they worked together. O'Reilly is also friendly with Rizzoli star Angie Harmon, an outspoken conservative.
The Fox anchor brought his daughter to set last year and toured the show's autopsy room. "He took one look at the autopsy table and said, 'Yeah a lot of people would like to see me on that," Tamaro tells TV Guide Magazine. "I said, 'Well, how about you come back and do a guest spot.'" O'Reilly is expected to film in July for an episode that will air at the end of summer.
Season Two of Rizzoli & Isles begins July 11.

Just in case I considered tuning in to R&I.... tPTB gave me yet another reason to avoid their series....
ReplyDeleteIt's just one episode. I hate when people say this about a show when it's just ONE person guest starring in ONE episode.
ReplyDeleteUgh. But I'll deal wtih it.
ReplyDeleteIf it were a pilot I would watch despite disliking a guest star no problem, but I already watched a few episodes last year and am aware I don't like it. Not a bad show really.... it just never drew me in. I read most the books in the series and the show just didn't compare for me I guess.
