Special guests:

Kato Kaelin: famous during the O.J. Simpson Trial — otherwise known as “the trial that launched a thousand cable news careers.” I didn’t ask to be part of history… I just happened to be the most famous houseguest in America. To this day, I’m still known as “America’s Favorite Houseguest.” I’ve overstayed my welcome professionally for 30 years.

Charles Shaughnessy: From Max Sheffield in The Nanny, Shane Donovan in Days of Our Lives and St.JohnPowell in Mad Men, Charles Shaughnessy has been the face of many characters for the last 30 years. He has guest starred in episodes of Murphy Brown, Mad About You, Modern Family, NCIS, Hannah Montana, Fantasy Island, Stargate SG1, Sabrina the Teenage Witch , The Magicians, The Winchesters ….the list goes on ! Charles has voiced many cartoon characters including Gargoyles, Duckman: Private Dick/Family Man, Johnny Bravo, Rugrats, Scooby Doo, Tom and Jerry and Playhouse Disney’s “Stanley” for which he won an Emmy. Charles also enjoys working on stage, most recently in the U.S. Premiere of Dan Brown’s “The Da Vinci Code.” You might also have seen him recently portraying the evil Victor Cassadine in General Hospital.

Barry Corbin has been acting for more than six decades, a career that has seen him take more than two hundred roles onstage, on TV, and in the movies. They’ve mostly been supporting roles, often authority figures-a natural fit, given Barry’s large frame and confident presence. He’s played fifteen sheriffs, several generals, a few wise uncles, a swaggering astronaut, and a hard-core basketball coach. He’s also played psychotic patriarchs, wealthy Texans, Santa Claus, and Lyndon Johnson. Even when his characters are overbearing or murderous, Barry has always found a way to make them human and likable-so much so that he often steals the show, as he did portraying General Jack Beringer in WarGames and astronaut Maurice Minnifield in Northern Exposure. Known as a character actor, he always seems like he’s genuinely enduring whatever his character is enduring-while also somehow remaining Barry Corbin.
