Memphis Beat's Jason Lee brings some '80s glam into the lives of the Chance family on the November 30 episode of Fox's Raising Hope. He plays musician Smokey Floyd, who headlines the local market's "Grocery-Palooza" concert, much to the thrill of Burt (Garret Dillahunt)."Jason plays this sort of aging, falling-apart, former hair-band lead singer," says Martha Plimpton. "He comes to town to help rescue my husband, who's always wanted to play in a band."
Lee, who's reteaming with Hope creator Greg Garcia (who also created Lee's 2005—2009 sitcom My Name Is Earl), spent hours in the makeup chair to get Smokey's worn-out look. "You probably won't be able to recognize him," says Plimpton. "He looks incredible!"

This is awesome! (But a part of me believed that Earl was going to make a cameo in Rising Hope when I read the headline.)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely awesome! I confess I never watched My name is Earl, but I've liked the few episodes I've seen of Memphis Beat. I hardly recognized him with his Aquanet hairband 'do. I can't wait to see this episode.
ReplyDeleteOh wow...you have to watch at least 1-2 episodes of My Name is Earl. It was like the predecessor to Raising Hope and is made of awesome. His hick ex girlfriend is one of the funniest characters in television... This is coming from someone who wasn't even a regular viewer...
