I’d like to issue an apology to Donald Glover for taking two years to write a blog post about him. You see, the man also known to “Community” lovers as Troy Barnes and hip-hop heads as Childish Gambino is incredibly talented… and I? Well, I’m just a procrastinator. Perhaps I should take a hard-working cue …
A Legendary Run-In with SuperModel Chrissy Teigen
“Hi…um, I follow you on Twitter, so it’s totally acceptable that I followed you into the bathroom, right?” The aforementioned quote? ALMOST actually stated, as a “pickup” line (on a girl, mind you)… So here’s the deal. I’m at the Hollywood Improv to check out a few friends (Jonny Loquasto and Grant Cotter) who are …
“Chuck” Star Mekenna Melvin Causes Water-gate SKandal
I don’t normally go into shoe-shopping trips and expect to leave with a fear of drinking water – but… that was the case the other day when I tagged along with “Chuck” actress Mekenna Melvin (Josh’s gf Alex McHugh). Before we went shoe shopping, I was discussing my dehydration, and my need for bottled water, …
Joel McHale On the Rocks
Once upon a time (January 2010), in a land far, far away (well far if you live in China), I did a set visit to the NBC show “Community”. In this magical land of television… of lights, cameras, action and all that other fancy stuff related to Hollywood… I had a conversation with Joel McHale, …
Why I Need a Daily Dose of Danny
OK so it’s the end of 2010…and another year is upon us. What this means? (Well, aside from finding some crazy party to go to so that we can all take pictures and update our statuses about how great the night was…) It’s time for New Year’s resolutions. And to be honest – I don’t …
Toofer Talk: 30 Rock’s Keith Powell
I have a confession to make. I… um. Uh. I. I don’t really watch much TV. *gasp* Yes, I know some of you may be thinking, “WTF?! She worked at TV Guide Network for two years, how the heck does she NOT watch TV! Doesn’t her job require her to be on TV??” The answer …
Breaking News! Brian Williams Entertains Me
This just in: Brian Williams is a huge fan of obituaries, owns two American cars, and thinks Jon Stewart is a necessary branch of government. Good evening, I’m Samia Khan. (The lead of my hypothetical newscast after my run-in with Brian Williams.) Alright enough of the daydreaming. Let’s talk business. My business. News business. I …
Parks, Recreation, and…Mustaches?
OK so I have a confession… Everytime I see a mustache, I can’t help but laugh. OK maybe not laugh, but smile. Smirk. LOL in my head. And well, this past November was no exception… that’s when, thanks to a few dear friends (yes Waldo and Waseem, I’m talkin about you guys,) I learned about …
Jerry Seinfeld: My Relationship Ref
Growing up, I wasn’t allowed to watch Seinfeld. In fact, you’d typically hear my mom saying, “Samia, go to your room!” whenever my older brother was watching this (or Friends. I was also sent to my room when my dad watched “90210” and “Melrose Place.” Don’t ask me why my dad chose the programming he …
Late-Night Letdown? Jay Leno vs. Conan
OK so this isn’t exactly a “Khanversation,” but I’m here in Pasadena covering NBC’s press day (and yes, as a result, I’ll have a ton of my typical, SK-style posts in the future) and I wanted to share this “breaking news” article that I wrote regarding the Leno/Conan situation for HollywoodNews.com — enjoy! It’s Official: …
