Eliza Dushku Will Play Michele Beadle In The Colin Cowherd Pilot

Eliza Dushku has signed on to play Michelle Beadle in the new CBS show inspired by Colin Cowherd. Well, at least it will be a character based on Beadle. She’ll be teaming up with Damon Wayans who has signed on to play “Nick Herd.” My guess for Dushku’s character’s name?
Melissa Beetle. Dushku shared the news with Beadle via Twitter earlier this week. Dushku is a Boston native and has already expressed disgust in having to possibly pretend to root for the Spurs. I say who cares as long as there’s an episode where Dushku plays with puppies. [Deadline Hollywood]

So what, besides Colin being a blowhard on the radio, is going to drive the plot of this show? Does he have an interesting personal life? Drugs? Women? Was he raised in a hard knocks atmosphere? Parents on Intervention…something?
March 24th, 2011 at 12:06 PM
Two of my favorite ladies

Every week he has to escape imminent danger as either a fan or athlete tries to kill him…in the season finale there’s a cliffhanger where guest star Aaron Rodgers is standing over him machete in hand
March 24th, 2011 at 12:07 PM
Good to see Eliza back, although crap show.
March 24th, 2011 at 12:08 PM
Beadle is so busted up. I never understood Fetch’s attraction to her. Seems like a nice gal.
March 24th, 2011 at 12:08 PM
I think he’s said before his dad was an alcoholic. But this is a sitcom, right?
March 24th, 2011 at 12:09 PM
Stumbled upon Wildcats with Goldie Hawn the other day. Beadle has a striking resemblance. And yes, that is a compliment (see Bird on a Wire).
March 24th, 2011 at 12:09 PM
so the producers are trying and succeeding at casting people who look nothing like the characters they portray. oh well, a sandy hanj is an upgrade over beadle.
March 24th, 2011 at 12:10 PM
Alcoholism in a comedy is great if done right (see: Peterson, Norm and Gumble, Barney)
It’s an unflattering photo, the only thing wrong with that woman is that she appears to enjoy working with Cowherd
March 24th, 2011 at 12:10 PM
Conversely, I think Rob Riggle looks an awful lot like Schlereth
March 24th, 2011 at 12:10 PM
was a pleasant surprise last night to click on the TBL bracket #1 and see i’m in top 5. not sure how it plays out, but it’s better than bottom 5

Eliza. Smokin. Love the name too.
March 24th, 2011 at 12:12 PM
Colin Cowherd? Sitcom? Damon Wayans? “Nick Herd”?
I, I, I…I got nothing.
March 24th, 2011 at 12:18 PM

Aha. There’s my learning moment for the day
March 24th, 2011 at 12:23 PM
I watched that show to see what guys were talking about. I thought she was cute. I can see why guys like her. She’s cool, talks sports and tolerates Cowherd.
March 24th, 2011 at 12:23 PM
I’m guessing you wrote it?
March 24th, 2011 at 12:26 PM
She’ll always be Dana Tasker to me.

Hawt. She should play Beadle in real life.
March 24th, 2011 at 12:28 PM
agree guinness. she’s regular-girl hot, and that’s a lot (to me)
yep timmy, i typed it. really just a transcript
March 24th, 2011 at 12:29 PM
2 of those 3 things are endearing.
March 24th, 2011 at 12:30 PM
Good to see Eliza back, although crap show.
She’s either got the worst luck in picking shows or a lousy agent.
Beadle is so busted up
Don’t tell me that you too date only supermodels.
March 24th, 2011 at 12:30 PM
broccoli, i heard a compelling case for sdsu to beat uconn. did a second chance bracket but didn;t hear the compelling case in time, so picked uconn
March 24th, 2011 at 12:31 PM
That picture of Beadle looks like a DUI mugshot
March 24th, 2011 at 12:31 PM
What was her first show? Tru Calling? By Hossa that was terrible.
March 24th, 2011 at 12:32 PM
she’s regular-girl hot, and that’s a lot (to me)
I’d much rather cute and cool than extremely hot and bitchy. But that’s just me.
March 24th, 2011 at 12:32 PM
i wanna comment about something but can’t think of anything to say.
March 24th, 2011 at 12:33 PM
I agree, they could beat them but if they play like they did against Temple they won’t. I have uconn beating them in my bracket and my girl has sdsu beating uconn in hers. So based off that alone, I would think sdsu will win because I’m always wrong!
March 24th, 2011 at 12:34 PM
And me

You could start putting links to pics of attractive OSU college coeds.
Tru Calling?
There’s that and Dollhouse. And while Buffy is revered, that never became a major hit.
March 24th, 2011 at 12:35 PM
brutus would steal all of chief wahoo’s wampum.
March 24th, 2011 at 12:35 PM
Ok I admit it. I was a big Tru Calling fan.
March 24th, 2011 at 12:36 PM
Agreed. Wahoo McDaniel was vastly underrated. Brutus Beefcake sucked in the ring.
March 24th, 2011 at 12:37 PM

And by Biel I think you mean Salma Hayek.

And by Selma Hayek, I think you mean Vida Guerra.
March 24th, 2011 at 12:38 PM
Good thing there wasnt a woman in the dressing room!
March 24th, 2011 at 12:39 PM
Fan of Beadle. Huge fan of Dushku. Hopefully, for Eliza’s sake she doesn’t have to actually meet Cowherd.
March 24th, 2011 at 12:39 PM
Someone explain to me how Rick Fox pulled this chick AND Vanessa Williams?
March 24th, 2011 at 12:39 PM
nicky whelan is the GOAT tho.

Yeah you’re right (bit NSFW).

yeah, or she’d have to clean up that mess he left!

March 24th, 2011 at 12:42 PM
No no no no no. That’s not how we’re playing this game, someone needs to now bring up a girl with a fantastic ass. Unless I win, which I’m totally cool with.
March 24th, 2011 at 12:42 PM
Having Eliza playing the role of Michelle Beadle is like having Mr. Ed playing the role of a skyscraper.

I’m willing to bet if this pilot even gets picked up, it won’t last half a season.
Especially if the use sports metaphors as one liners.
March 24th, 2011 at 12:45 PM
She needs all the help she can get considering her face looks like a young Tony Danza.
March 24th, 2011 at 12:46 PM
NO.

That is definitely how this game is played!
March 24th, 2011 at 12:51 PM

March 24th, 2011 at 12:52 PM
This game should not be allowed to be played during normal business hours.

5×5
makes sense, since both chicks date athletes.
