With his buoyant air of all-American optimism and innate decency, Denzel Washington is well cast (by helmer George C. Wolfe) as Hickey, the long-awaited bearer of false hope, comforting lies, and unlimited free booze to the washed-up losers who patronize Harry Hope’s no-hope saloon. When the thesp sweeps down the aisle and onto the stage wearing a snazzy suit and a 100-watt smile, the whole theater warms up.
The huge ensemble cast (19 strong) presents a cross-section of some of the best character actors in the business. At center stage is the saloon keeper Harry Hope, played with worn-out Irish dignity and a bit of a warm brogue by Colm Meaney, who generously treats his bedraggled patrons to free drinks and lets them sleep it off in their chairs.

Darren Criss and Michael Cudlitz at the College Television Awards.
Instant Asshat Daily Star columnist Joe Mott is under fire for writing in Sunday's edition: “Not being bad, but if Ricky Gervais was homosexual, you’d be wondering if he was, you know, ill. His dramatic weight loss has left him looking like a dying man.” Out has released their annual Power 50, the list of the most influential gays and lesbians in America. Included are Neil Patrick Harris (#16), Dan Savage (#43), and Adam Lambert (#46). Christopher Meloni is a New Yorker for marriage-equality.
Okay, I know I may have mentioned the fact that The Facts of Life is going to be honored on Sunday with the Pop Culture Award at The TV Land Awards, but I have to include this ABC interview of the cast from backstage, because it touches on the mini-"controversy" surrounding Charlotte Rae's remarks when she accepted the award.
