Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Questions with CHUCK Star Joshua Gomez
Heading into CHUCK’s fourth season, what would you say is most fun aspect about playing Morgan?
Joshua Gomez: The wonderful thing about playing Morgan is that every season he’s evolved and done more and greater, which culminated with finally learning about Chuck’s secret last season. I’ve had so much fun with the character because every season hasn’t felt like I’ve been playing the same character, it’s really been a blast. Of course, the challenge is trying to find ways to evolve Morgan and mature him, without losing touch of what kept him likeable to begin with.
Just how far do you think Morgan would follow Chuck into his rogue endeavours now that he knows the truth about his best friend?
Morgan would follow Chuck anywhere he wanted him to go. I think Morgan — beyond being this completely loyal friend and that kind of a guy — is simply a good-natured loyal dude. To him, the reveal of Chuck’s job outside the Buy More — as we saw in “Chuck Versus the Beard” — it was just the coolest thing in the world. Despite the ramifications of the whole thing, which I’m not sure Morgan quite gets yet, we’re living out every video game we’ve ever played and every movie we’ve ever watched. And if you can get past the handful of bullets whizzing around or ginormous men grabbing at you, in a weird way it’s still fun.

Bryan Cranston Hosts SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE and we’ve got your Good, Bad & Ugly
THE GOOD: Despite the fact that the host subsituting his or her monologue for a song-and-dance is one of SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE’s most overused devices, Bryan Cranston’s little ditty that cleverly played on the fact that outside of New York and Los Angeles he is one of the least known actors in recent memory to have been given the opportunity to host the iconic late night series was quite funny. Also funny, the evening’s two faux commercials (“Pepto-Bismol Malt Liquor,” and “iSleep Pro”) and newcomer Vanessa Bayer. The latter of which absolutely stole the show with her eerily spot-on Miley Cyrus sketch (Video above). Not so funny…
Your TV Quotes of the Week
Hulu Plus Headed to Roku and TiVo
For those who’ve been on another planet, Hulu has been serving up a wide variety of TV programming online, streamed straight to your eyeballs. Even brand new programs that aired yesterday are often available for a while, allowing you to catch programs that you missed, forgot to record, etc. All for free, too, provided you can handle some commercial interruptions.
Not long ago, the evil masterminds at Hulu created a paid subscription tier called Hulu Plus, where for $10 you can get access to a larger back catalog of TV shows. You still have to watch commercials though. Sounds great for them; make me pay money to watch shows with commercials, just like the channels I used to pay for on cable. Yet, Hulu has been notoriously against serving up content on the one device people really want to use to watch TV shows – the TV. Sure, you can hook up a computer to your TV and watch it in a web browser or use Boxee (with a little effort), or you could use a PS3 on the PSN network since July. That’s it.
