TCA flashback: The five weirdest things I witnessed during the TV Critics press tour

I'm still driving back to the Sunshine State from Chicago as I write this, so I'm a little short on new material. instead, let me present you with a flashback to my time at the TV Critic's press tour in Los Angeles a couple of weeks ago:

1) Rapper Coolio swearing to me that one of the ladies from Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta was “on his jock.” Whatever that means.

2) Damian Lewis, the British actor who stars in NBC’s Life, speaking almost exclusively in his character’s American accent because “speaking to Americans, my British accent sounds fake.”

3) Howie Mandel, the host of NBC’s Deal or No Deal and a renowned germophobe, insisting on simply bumping fists when meeting journalists.

4) Jay Leno, disguised in a bald cap and fake moustache, taking the microphone to grill NBC executives during a press session.Johnhenson
