There aren't many actresses out there that you could affectionately call a "broad," but Megan Mullally's one of them. Ever since she came on the scene a decade ago as the caustic and spoiled Karen Walker on
Will & Grace, Mullally has shown that she can be bawdy with the best of them.
Now, after a foray into the talk show world and a turn as a disabled and ugly -- but desirable -- chief of medicine on Rob Corddry's web series
Children's Hospital, Mullally is back on series TV, on ABC's new comedy
In The Motherhood (premiering Thursday at 8 PM ET), which was based on a
web series that took episode ideas from submissions by real moms. In the series, Mullally plays Rosemary, a "bad ass," as Mullally calls her, who has raised the perfect son even though she's an imperfect mom.
In this quickie interview, Mullally talks about the new show, about a rumor that she was in a catfight with her co-star Cheryl Hines, about how Rosemary and Karen could be the new Odd Couple, and running her Kerry Weaver-esque
Children's Hospital character past Laura Innes.

Now that 30 Rock has become a mild success for Saturday Night Live veterans Tina Fey and Tracy Morgan it seems that other former SNL alums are making an attempt at primetime popularity. Case in point . . . It's being reported that 8-year SNL veteran Horatio Sanz has joined the cast of the comedy Business Class.
In this pilot for NBC Sanz will star with Boston Legal's Mark Valley (who does nothing on that show but complain). The single-camera comedy will feature Sanz and Valley as two rival soda salesmen who live their lives on the road. Hey, I'm laughing already!
This would be Sanz's first foray into primetime television since leaving SNL last year. Maybe it's me, but it seems that Horatio was underutilized during his years at SNL, which is surprising because he had a pretty decent track record before coming on-board the sketch comedy show. I mean, he was one of the early founders of the Upright Citizens Brigade. I would think that would amount to a little more screen time. If I'm way off base here let me know.

Despite
yesterday's report in the LA Times,
Saturday Night Live actor Horatio Sanz says he's still a member of the cast. He tells the
Chicago Sun-Times that he doesn't know "what the hell is going on" but he has no reason to believe he's out of a job. The LA Times says that Sanz, Kenan Thompson, and Chris Parnell are out. But,
TMZ.com says it's Sanz and Will Forte who are cut from the show. (
Will says he's staying, too) And the
New York Post says Maya Rudolph is considering leaving the show.
Lorne Michaels had better speak up soon.

With the recent departures of Tina Fey and Rachel Dratch from Saturday Night Live, and the announcement of (wink, wink) budget cuts by executive producer Lorne Michaels, one begins to ponder what SNL will look like once the bloodletting is complete. So, my dear TV Squad fans, I pose a question to you: if you were in Mr. Michaels' seat who would stay and who would go?

A little over a week ago, we gave you folks an opportunity
to select the
Saturday Night
Live cast members that you thought might be leaving at the end of this season, based on a remark Lorne Michaels
gave to
The New York Times. We let you choose more than one person, since it looks like more than one person
is going to leave.
So, who did you think was going to go? Well, there's no surprise here: Darrell Hammond
and Horatio Sanz received the most votes, with the still-on-maternity-leave Maya Rudolph coming in third. It makes
sense; Hammond's been on the show for eons and is basically down to doing impressions of Chris Matthews and Donald
Trump, and Sanz is... well, let's just say he's not the most popular member of the cast. The surprise was the lack of
votes for Seth Myers, even though his name has been coming up quite a bit in the rumors surrounding Michaels'
pronouncement.
Full poll results are after the jump.
