Linda Cardellini Confronted Seth McFarlane About The Time She Got Fired From ‘Family Guy’ And Oh Boy, Is It Awkward

Linda Cardellini and Seth McFarlane appeared on The Late Late Show With James Corden this week. Corden was talking with McFarlane about how long Family Guy has been on the air when Corden mentioned that Cardellini, who you may remember from the very excellent Freaks and Geeks, or more recently, Bloodlines and Mad Men, would be a good voice on the show.

That gave Cardellini the opportunity to bring up that, interestingly enough, she was on McFarlane’s animated show once. Only, she got fired.

Meanwhile, McFarlane is sipping from his mug, probably wishing he could melt into the couch.

Here is that very awkward moment:

Cardellini explained that she wasn’t actually fired. What happened was, when she went to watch the show, after excitedly telling people to tune in, she learned she’d been replaced by another actor. And no one had even told her!

McFarlane said, “I hope you didn’t have people over to your house to like, watch the show or anything like that,” and Cardellini responded, “I mean, I might have.”

Honestly, there really is no excuse for something like this. McFarlane said he didn’t remember the situation, which may or may not be true, but it was his show, and he’s ultimately responsible. It would be nice if he could at least apologize!

In the end, McFarlane said, “I’ll say what I say whenever something like this happens: Can I offer you something on American Dad?” Hmm, “whenever something like this happens”? Does it happen often? Because if so, maybe get it together, McFarlane?

You can watch the whole clip below, but prepare to cringe!

Jeff Goldblum Is In A ‘Thank U, Next’ Parody Video And Ariana Grande Loves It

You’ve all seen the video for Ariana Grande’s “Thank U, Next,” right? It broke the YouTube record for most views in 24 hours (over 46 million) and has been all over social media since it was released last Friday. And now it’s even got its own parody song and video, courtesy of James Corden and the inimitable Jeff Goldblum.

Let me just start by saying that I think Jeff Goldblum truly is a national treasure (a phrase that gets thrown around a lot these days). Everything about him is cool and svelte and adorable and charming and silver fox sexy. And I am very far from alone in my opinion, since just about everyone in the world is a fan of Jeff Goldblum. How could they not be? He’s utter perfection.

James Corden clearly feels strongly about Jeff Goldblum, too. During The Late Late Show with James Corden‘s December 5 episode, Corden goes to see Goldblum in the green room and after thanking him several times, serenades him with a parody version of the Ariana Grande hit called “Thank U, Jeff.”

The spoof, which includes lines like “He’s our silver fox, with black thick-rimmed glasses / the way that he talks will knock off your asses,” also features a bunch of dancing Jeff Goldblum lookalikes. Oh, and there’s an amazing scrapbook of Jeff Goldblum photos from various stages of his career (all hot, of course) that would be the envy of any Goldblum aficionado if it wasn’t also a little creepy. But hey, I’m not judging. It’s Goldblum, after all.

Just do yourself a favor and watch the video. It’s got Jeff Goldblum with a camcorder just like the real “Thank U, Next” has Kris Kardashian. Could he be any cuter?

And Ariana Grande loved the whole thing. She tweeted the video and asked, “omg….. may i please….. please for christmas have the thank u, jeff book? it’s for a friend. promise.”

You know what, because she’s Ariana Grande, she just might get that book.

And thank you to everyone involved in the making of this video.
