I really wish Tom Everett Scott would find a great role he could sink his teeth into for a few years. He's so talented, and yet he keeps ending up in short-lived and dead-end roles.
The actor has
signed for a two-episode guest stint on NBC's
Law & Order, playing Governor Shalvoy, according to a
Hollywood Reporter story. He'll be joined in one of the episodes by Alison Elliott, playing his wife, Rita Shalvoy.
Since breaking onto the Hollywood scene in 1996's
That Thing You Do, Scott has floundered in short-lived series like 2002's
Philly, playing Kim Delaney's love interest, and 2006's
Saved, where he played a troubled paramedic. Most recently, he played
Lucy Liu's estranged fiance on
Cashmere Mafia.

What in the hell happened last night on
The Colbert Report? Or perhaps I'm really wondering why I attended
Monday's taping of TCR in Philadelphia and not the final and certainly most epic one.
In true Colbert fashion,
TCR ended its four-night run in the City of Brotherly Love with a big ol' Democratic bang. Thanks to Chris Matthews' big mouth, the nation expected Hillary Clinton's "surprise" appearance, but little did we know both Barack Obama and John Edwards would be appearing as well... On the same night! Despite the fact that this was all a blatantly desperate attempt to get a little Colbert Bump action (Edwards knows it's too late, right? I mean, what with him dropping out of the race and all), there really is no better way to seem hip to that all-important youth vote.

Back on the night that Stephen Colbert announced that he'd be hitting Philadelphia, taking the show on the road for the first time, I had decided to go to bed early and just catch the rerun in the morning. My friend called me just as I began to doze off and immediately told me that she had gotten tickets for us to see Colbert in Philadelphia. I had no idea what the hell she was talking about, so when I hung up, I just shrugged it off as a late-night half-dream. The next morning, I watched the episode and it finally made sense: We were about to go on another
Colbert Report adventure.
