Next 'Archer' season will include a 'Bob's Burgers' crossover episode
Fans of animated comedy have known H. Jon Benjamin’s gruff deadpan since the days of Comedy Central’s Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist and, later, Adult Swim’s Home Movies. Lately, he’s been voicing the title characters to two of TV’s funniest cartoons, FX’s Archer and Fox’s Emmy-nominated Bob’s Burgers – and, soon enough, fans will get to watch him do both at once.
In an interview with EW, Benjamin revealed that the Archer team has produced a crossover episode in which he’ll play both ISIS agent Sterling Archer and grillmaster Bob Belcher. The episode’s already been recorded, he says, and will air during Archer‘s next season (FX has yet to announce a premiere date).
Indeed: “It’s like a Bourne Identity-type plotline. It starts off with Archer as Bob, making hamburgers, but he doesn’t know that he’s Archer. He’s at the restaurant and these, like, I think Russian thugs come in, and Bob dispatches them expertly. And then he’s like, What just happened? How did I do that? So he has to try to figure out why he’s so good at killing people.”
Adds Benjamin, “It was Adam’s idea.”
Bob’s creator Loren Bouchard [who also co-created Home Movies and produced Dr. Katz] signed off on the idea, Benjamin says, but stayed out of the creative process. “It was prompted by Adam, but Loren was into it.”
Bob’s wife Linda (voiced by John Roberts) will be in the episode as well, he confirms, “but the kids aren’t in it. I guess it must’ve been a budget restriction or something. Like, ‘I can’t afford to pay an extra three grand to pay actors.’”
As for how the different visual styles of the shows will mesh, he says that “it’s Archer-style animation, but with all the accoutrements and characteristics of the [Bob’s] characters.”
“It is a little weird,” he continues, “because you have to be a fan of both to understand it. But you don’t have to know about Bob’s Burgers to enjoy it.”
If the crossover threatens to expose how similar his voices for Bob and Archer (and, well, most of his characters) are, Benjamin isn’t concerned. “It’s seems like kind of a 50-50: 50 percent of people are like, ‘You suck, you use the same voice,’ and 50 percent of people are like, ‘It’s amazing how different they are!’ And I really can’t speak to either opinion.” (From EW)
'The Great Gatsby' moving to Summer 2013
Looks like the mercurial Jay Gatsby will remain mysteriously out of reach for a bit longer.
Warner Bros. announced today that The Great Gatsby, director Baz Luhrmann’s 3-D adaptation of the seminal novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, has been pushed to Summer 2013. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio in the title role, along with Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan, and Joel Edgerton, the film had been slated to open on Christmas day this year. No specific new date was indicated.
In announcing the change, Warner Bros. president of distribution Dan Fellman lauded Luhrmann’s singular visual style. “We think moviegoers of all ages are going to embrace it, and it makes sense to ensure this unique film reaches the largest audience possible,” he said in a statement. International distribution chief Veronika Kwan Vanderberg added that the studio believes The Great Gatsby “will be the perfect summer movie around the world.”
The film would have gone head to head with Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained, which also stars DiCaprio in a supporting role as the cruel owner of a plantation in the pre-Civil War south.

Sharon Osbourne: I quit 'AGT' because NBC fired my son
Sharon Osbourne’s decision to leave America’s Got Talent was news to NBC: “This is coming out of context and sort of spontaneously, and we don’t even know what’s going on,” NBC Entertainment Chairman Robert Greenblatt told the AP after Osbourne announced her departure in July. Today, the New York Post revealed Osbourne’s true reason for leaving her judgeship — she and the Peacock have been engaged in “a nasty dispute” since June.
The quarrel supposedly centers on Osbourne’s son Jack. According to the Post‘s Sean Daly, Jack was in talks to participate in Stars Earn Stripes, an upcoming NBC reality show in which celebrities compete in events inspired by military exercises. Daly writes that the network cut ties with Jack after he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis two months ago. (Jack made the same claim during a June appearance on The Talk, his mother’s daytime series.) The network’s move infuriated Osbourne, driving her to leave the talent competition she has judged for six seasons.
“I just can’t be fake,” Osbourne told the Post. “It’s discrimination, and it was badly handled.”
Stars and Stripes producer David Hurwitz told the Post that while his team was in talks with Jack Osbourne, they never formally hired the former Osbournes star. Additionally, Hurwitz expressed doubts that Jack would have been able to participate in Stars had he been signed: “The rigors of the show were too intense for him,” Hurwitz said.
