Not content with Seth Rogen guest starring as Dirty Randy, “The League” has added two more big-name guest stars: Sarah Silverman and Jeff Goldblum.

They’ll join a Thanksgiving episode of the comedy series, with Silverman playing Andre’s (Paul Scheer) sister and Jeff Goldblum as Ruxin’s (Nick Kroll) father. “Sarah and Jeff are funny and fearless enough to play Andre’s sister and Ruxin’s father,” said League co-creators Jeff Schaffer and Jackie Marcus Schaffer. “And they didn’t flinch when we told them all of the crazy things they’d be doing with our cast. Fools!” [EW]

Silverman’s a divisive personality among comedy snobs, but I usually enjoy her. And I particularly like Goldblum. For someone so innately funny, he doesn’t do a lot of comedy. I mean, he’s done plenty of comedy throughout his career (“NTSF” and “Colbert” most recently), just not enough for my liking. Dance, monkey! Make me laugh!

Those of you connected to the Interwebitwitterspheriverse may recall that following the deaths of Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson last Thursday, there was a much-tweeted hoax that Jeff Goldblum had died.  Well, on last night’s “Colbert Report,” Goldblum appeared in person to address the news of his death. 

It’s a pretty solid clip, and I like the idea of giving your own eulogy — I think that could be even better than attending your own funeral à la Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn.  Not that I ever read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.  Books are for queers.  The only explanation for how I even know that reference is that I accidentally learned it by osmosis when I used a hardcover copy to beat up a nerd.  That’s what you get for reading, wuss!

Regarding Jeff Goldblum’s debut on last night’s episode of “Law & Order: Criminal Intent,” Warming Glow reader Bill writes:

It had the greatest, poorly written portrayal of annoying [Brooklyn] hipsters trying to “make it,” living in an artist loft space, and striving to be like the horrible, gayer, outer borough version of RENT.  The dialogue was amazing and that sh*tpile of an episode had me wondering what USA network is trying to do to this franchise.

And Bill’s not alone.  Videogum snagged video and adds:

[T]he entire show was HILARIOUS, not just because of Jeff’s quirky, nerd-weirdo character, but because the plot was about a bunch of Williamsburg hipsters living in a huge loft and killing each other off in an effort to take over each other’s spots in a shitty band. AND there’s a red herring about how the murders could be caused by minorities in the neighborhood who think the hipsters are displacing them. It’s ripped from the 2002 headlines!

Oh baby.  I’m gonna have to stay up and watch this tonight; the episode re-airs at 12:05 a.m.  I’m always down for some hipster murder.  Um, fictional hipster murder, that is.  Yeahhhhh… “fictional.”

(Watch highlights of the episode here.  It’s not quite real because none of the actors are skinny enough to play real hipsters.  And their haircuts aren’t stupid enough.  And their jeans aren’t tight enough.  And I’m not punching them in the face.)
