New interview for Raising Hope (and Fox still wants your babies)
A new interview showed up at NYPost.com. Posting a few snippets about the next two episodes below (pretty sure they got the airing order backwards, but could be wrong) and, for the whole thing, you can follow the link.
Raising Hope airs tonight at 9 pm.
PW: For me the moment we learned he secretly scared his son in order to get hugs was when I felt like we really learned what a sweet guy he is.
Garret: Yea, I would agree with you. For me, it was a surprise when we sang the lullaby in the pilot. That’s when I realized that for all his faults, Burt is the guy who gets up at 5am and play his guitar to put his kid to sleep. And he’s not angry about it. That was a great surprise. Him and Virginia are a formidable couple, and Martha & I have so much fun together.PW: And you bring the guitar back next week when Jason Lee guest stars, right?
Garret: Yea, Jason comes in as Burt’s hero — Smokey Floyd — who he met a long time ago when he lost the chance to play guitar alongside him. Now he gets another chance when Smokey comes back to town. Jason’s hilarious and he endured hours or Latex makeup every morning.PW: Which must have stood in stark contrast to your costume needs.
Garret: Yea! Put on my PJ’s and go. They call me about 15 minutes before yelling action now. It’s pretty sweet.PW: But before Jason cameos, we have tonight’s Christmas episode — what can you tell us about it?
Garret: Tonight you learn about Burt’s annual habit of making some extra cash at Christmas by finding out what the hot toy is, buying it in bulk and selling it back to the public at a considerable mark-up. It’s amazing how much that hysteria can be created. [Watch Raising Hope or Garret Dillahunt will jack up your car]
Meanwhile, Fox has put out an official casting call for more stunt babies, so if you have one to rent, keep reading:
Raising Hope set visit clip & sneak peek
Two videos today. The first one is a set visit clip, with the cast talking about tomorrow’s episode, “Burt Rocks.” Jason Lee guest stars.
The second clip is a scene from the episode:
“Burt Rocks” tomorrow at 9 pm.
Pictures from Raising Hope 1×11, “Toy Story”
Fox has released the promotional stills for Raising Hope 1×11, “Toy Story.” The episode airs on December 7. Here is the synopsis:
When Jimmy was a kid, every year Burt would get the season’s hottest toy and sell them off for money, leaving Jimmy disappointed and without the coolest toys. This year, Burt lets Jimmy in on his scheme, but Jimmy makes him promise to save one toy for Hope. Meanwhile, Virginia signs up the family to participate in the church’s living nativity scene in order to gain respect from the church members.
Examiner has a couple of quotes from Garret about the Thanksgiving episode (“Meet the Grandparents“) and the Christmas episode (“Toy Story,” I’m guessing):
“It puts on display those horrible holidays or evenings we all have that just sort of vary. Like just sort of ‘Remember that one time…’?” Dillahunt continued. (…)
In other words, Hope’s other grandparents may not fare as well. After all, Dillahunt did share that they won’t be back come Christmas time. Instead, the celebration is left up to the Chances. Will they set a tree on fire or forget to buy the baby presents or something a little less wacky?
“Virginia gets to sing again,” Dillahunt previewed. “We fancy ourselves [a musical family], but I don’t know if we’re actually any good!”
