"We always tell each other to break a leg in this business. I never thought it would happen to me this way!" McKean joked from his hospital bed to his The Best Man producer Jeffrey Richards, reports the New York Post. McKean sustained a broken leg and facial »

23 May 2012 5:03 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
Michael McKean was hit by a car and suffered a broken leg on Tuesday, May 22, causing him to miss his first performance ever. He's doing better but is officially out of the Broadway play "The Best Man" that he's been performing in.
According to Boston.com, Producer Jeffrey Richards said that McKean's role will be played by James Lecesne from now on. "I understand from his team that he has never missed a performance in his career," Richards said in a press release. "So this is the kind of first we are reluctant to announce."
The play by Gore Vidal had been nominated for a Tony Award for best revival and the cast includes James Earl Jones, John Larroquette, Candice Bergen, Angela Lansbury, and Eric McCormack. Lecesne had previously been playing a small role in the show and this is his Broadway debut. Get well soon, Michael. »

14 May 2012 10:28 AM, PDT | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »
If Christina Applegate wins an Emmy Award this September for the NBC laffer "Up All Night," she will have something in common with Jennifer Aniston, Candice Bergen, Helen Hunt and Lisa Kudrow. All of these funny ladies claimed trophies for episodes where their characters gave birth, and that is exactly the subject of Applegate's possible submission if nominated as Best Comedy Actress. In a video chat with Gold Derby, Applegate revealed that she and the flashback episode's writer Caroline Williams had babies just two weeks apart. "We kind of went on the same journey at the same time. We really brought in a lot of things that had happened personally. I got it, and I thought it was written very full," she added. "I had some great funny stuff that I got to do that was so bizarre, which is the kind of stuff I love, like singing that live song. »

1 May 2012 6:40 AM, PDT | PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news »
Broadway's biggest night - the 66th annual Tony Awards - may be 40 days away, but the celebrating has already kicked in, especially for a modest new musical called Once, a love story set in Ireland that scored the most nominations of any show this year: 11, including best musical. Not celebrating: the much-maligned Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, which, despite an expenditure of $70 million, scads of publicity and the music of U2's Bono and the Edge, landed with only two nominations, for costume and scenic design. Faring better after the nominations were announced Tuesday morning - by a chipper »

Murphy Brown creator Diane English tells TV Guide that she's been in discussion with CBS about reviving the newsroom satire that wasn't afraid to call Dan Quayle stupid, bringing that same fearlessness to modern-day easy targets in a handful of election-year specials. Those talks are entirely preliminary, of course, though English says she thinks "it's possible," adding that after Candice Bergen's current Broadway run wraps in July, she plans to discuss with her further the idea of returning and reminding fans just how long ago the '90s were and how incredibly old they are now.

Bergen Reunites With Murphy Brown Cast
20 April 2012 12:06 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Veteran actress Candice Bergen reunited with the cast of her hit sitcom Murphy Brown on U.S. TV on Friday to reminisce about the show, 14 years after it went off air.
Bergen, who starred as the title character - a famous investigative reporter and news anchor for fictional TV news programme Fyi, met up with her former co-stars Faith Ford, Charles Kimbrough, Grant Shaud and Joe Regalbuto and series creator Diane English days after they reconvened for the TV Land Awards last weekend for a Good Morning America special about their 10 years together.
English recalled how CBS network bosses tried to convince her actress Heather Locklear was better suited for the lead role, but she stood her ground and fought for Bergen - and she's glad she did, because the show went on to win multiple Golden Globe and Emmy Awards from the moment it launched in 1988.
English said, "There was not a character like her (Bergen) in television comedy until she came along."
And co-star Ford revealed Bergen, now 65, was an unlikely prankster onset.
Ford said, "She never stopped pranking us. I would be sitting there in the show... and I would feel water trickling down my face, and I would look up, 'Where is that water coming from?' and she (Bergen) would get the water in her mouth and she would stand above and just drizzle it on me!"
Acting stunned by the revelation, Bergen played dumb and dismissed the tale, joking, "I have no recollection of that!" »
Where Would Murphy Brown Be Now?
20 April 2012 7:28 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
"Murphy Brown" ended 14 years ago after 10 seasons on the air, but the iconic sitcom still lives on in hearts of fans and the cast alike ... and on TV, as well. Take the April 19 episode of NBC's "30 Rock," titled "Murphy Brown Lied To Us," for example. The episode followed Liz Lemon's (Tina Fey) desire to have a child post-40 years old.
In its heyday, "Murphy Brown" tackled everything from rehab to single motherhood, creating headlines and becoming a pop culture phenomenon along the way. Recently, TV Land honored the cast and creator Diane English with the Impact Award at the 10th Annual TV Land Awards, which will air on Sunday, April 29 at 9 p.m. Et.
"Well, the show was so perfect for its time," series co-star Joe Regalbuto (who played Frank Fontana) told The Huffington Post on the red carpet at the TV Land Awards, which were filmed earlier this month. »

'Gore Vidal's The Best Man' brings out the best of Angela Lansbury and James Earl Jones on Broadway
10 April 2012 2:58 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
Taking the arch writing of Gore Vidal and giving those words to James Earl Jones, Angela Lansbury, John Larroquette, Candice Bergen and Eric McCormack, is nothing short of brilliant.
In the revival of "Gore Vidal's The Best Man," the Schoenfeld Theatre is decked out in red, white and blue bunting as the audience watches the behind-the-scenes maneuvering at a 1960 presidential convention in a Philadelphia hotel.
Though it is not said which party this is -- or if it is, it is certainly not stressed -- it does not matter. What matters is politics.
The play, which was also a 1964 movie, revolves around what could be a brokered convention. Former Secretary of State William Russell (Larroquette, a Tony winner last season for "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," TV's "Night Court") is running against Sen. Joseph Cantwell (McCormack, TV's "Will & Grace"). Russell is an intellectual who quotes Bertrand Russell, »
