Wrap: Sex Rehab’s Phil Varone and Jeff and Greg Burns from NCIS

We got musical with drummer Phil Varone, fresh from his stint on VH1’s Sex Rehab. From elsewhere in TV land we welcomed award-winning composers Jeff and Greg Burns from TV’s #1 show, NCIS.

If you’ve seen at least one Live! From the Future episode, you know by now just how much we like music. Appropriately for our tastes, we had a trio of musical guests this episode – twin TV composers Jeff and Greg Burns, and drummer/standup comedian Phil Varone.

Shocking though it may be, Phil and Stuart still use less combined hair product than Bret Michaels.

Before the troika settled into the guest chairs, we naturally had to celebrate the great December holiday. No, not Christmas, silly. December 8 is Jessie Schneiderman’s birthday, of course! So we celebrated in exuberant yet severely budget-constrained style by showering her with balloons and booze… bad idea.

Down goes #4! Don't drink kids... because this...

... can lead to this. (*10 minutes after her shots, she was 9 months pregnant.)

The brothers Burns were up first, and they brought Jessie – whoops, the show – a special present. The two somehow found time in their busy schedule to score a clip from LFTF. We like challenging our guests, so the clip we provided was of Current TV’s Conor Knighton demonstrating how to properly arrange a paper toilet seat liner.

What you can't see in this picture is that the beard in only on one half of his face, while his brother has half a beard on the other side.

One segment that might have a fighting chance is “Prog Rock or NCIS Episode“. This thrilling, down-to-the-wire quiz tests deep entertainment knowledge and reveals just how much time a person wasted getting high as a teenager and listening to ponderous old music.

The brothers nearly took a fall on that one, saving themselves at the last moment by identifying a Genesis album.

Missing: One hunky guitar player and my summer blue polo shirt.

We didn’t torture the brothers enough with inane questions, so we also put them through our patented “59 Second Gauntlet“. Jeff and Greg were more successful at that one, getting all the way through past the final question, the all-time stumper “my career is like breakfast because ________?” Next up was Phil Varone, an old friend of the show (read: “person who’s crazy enough to do this thing more than once”). Phil’s getting a lot of attention these days thanks to his current stint on Sex Rehab with celebrity brain fixer Dr. Drew Pinsky.

After getting out of Sex Rehab, Phil explained why his wrist has been cramping up.

When not recovering from his sex problem, Phil finds time to do standup and play drums, not necessarily in that order. He couldn’t resist dropping a plug for his upcoming hosting gig at LA’s Improv, where he’ll be introducing the Sex, Stand Up and Rock & Roll show.

Happy Birthday Jessie... You're the Best-y... (real lyrics).

Unlike his fellow musicians the Burns twins, Phil didn’t quite make it through his edition of “59 Second Gauntlet”. Perhaps it was that one missing second that threw him. Either way, we still like him, and we’ll happily have him on as a guest again. As long as he isn’t too busy chatting with Oprah, that is.

Upcoming: Sex Rehab’s Phil Varone and Jeff and Greg Burns from NCIS

This Tuesday, December 8th at 8PM – Phil Varone is back – fresh from his stint on VH1’s “Sex Rehab”, and we have award-winning composers Jeff and Greg Burns from TV’s #1 show, NCIS!

Jeff and Greg have taken a clip from one of our past shows and are scoring it – just for us!

Upcoming: Antonio Sabato Jr. from My Antonio next FRIDAY

After a fun show with John Fulton substituting in the host’s chair, we’re gonna get even funner with the return of Stu to said piece of furniture. We have a single guest for our upcoming episode, but what a guest – Antonio Sabato Jr., from VH1’s hot reality show My Antonio.

In My Antonio, set on the Big Island in Hawaii, the titular actor has to whittle a crop of 14 lovely women down to one single mate. Gosh, some guys have the toughest jobs. The first season of the show is currently airing. In addition to his Hawaiian adventure, Antonio is a veteran actor who has logged many hours in front of the camera. Among his notable roles is Dante Damiano on the durable CBS soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful. He previously got soapy for several years as a cast member of General Hospital, later reprising his character in the spinoff series General Hospital: Night Shift. In addition, he has played recurring characters and made guest appearances on many top TV shows, including the original Melrose Place,  NCIS, Charmed and Ally McBeal. His movie resume is similarly crowded, and Antonio has also occupied the producer’s chair on more than one filmic effort. Now if all of the above doesn’t qualify a man to win the heart of a beautiful female on a Hawaiian island, I don’t know what does.

Speaking of beautiful women, Stu… uh, whoops, I don’t think he wants that cross-dressing lounge singer secret to get out quite yet… anyway, Stu will be brandishing a fresh Canadian tan after his working break in the Great White North and will be primed and ready to resume his hosting duties. John Fulton will return to the music director chair while covetously eyeballing the host’s chair, and Jessie Schnooterman, complete with her patented Jewbs, will hold down the IM unit. Needless to say, we’ll also feature the usual menu of gags n’ games and interview fun.

See you online for the festivities, but don’t forget, this one airs on a special night – Friday, to be exact (that’s October 23 for you calendar-heads).

Got questions for Mr. Sabato Jr. – POST ‘EM HERE

Weed’s Actor Jack Stehlin is Coming

We are so excited to have Jack Stehlin of Weeds join us on Live! From the Future next Tuesday, June 16th!

In Weeds, Showtime’s hit comedy series about a single mother who makes ends meet by selling marijuana, veteran actor Jack Stehlin co-stars alongside Mary Louise Parker, Elizabeth Perkins and Kevin Nealon as “Captain Roy Till” of the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). A role that originated as one scene during Season 2 quickly evolved into a fully realized, dangerous, yet humorously sardonic law man out for revenge. We have now come to discover that Till harbors secrets of his own – his sexuality. Stehlin shared a 2009 Screen Actor’s Guild (SAG) nomination for “Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series” and is currently shooting Season 5, which recently premiered on Showtime.

You might be surprised to learn that Stehlin is a descendent of circus trapeze artists, jugglers, and acrobats on one side of his family, and coal miners and minor league ball players on the other side! We will surely have fun with that!

Stehlin began his early career at New York’s Juilliard School, landing a role in Henry VI, Part I with fellow alums Kevin Spacey, and Val Kilmer. In 1983 he founded his own theatre company, Circus Theatricals. He and his wife have produced more than 50 plays in NYC and LA.

Stehlin has guest-starred on countless hit TV series such as Without a Trace, Monk, NCIS., ER, and NYPD Blue. He has also had memorable recurring roles in fan favorites: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, JAG and The Practice.

Check out Stehlin’s interview with TV Guide:

TUNE IN Live at 8pm PST/ 11pm EST Tuesday June 16th on TheStream.TV. We’re in widescreen now!
