'Lost'! 'CSI'! 'House'! 'The Office'! My 12 Most Spoilerific Emmy Interviews!

Categories: Ausiello TV

There’s more to Emmy weekend than trophies, fashion, and bad host banter. For example, there’s all the freakin’ scoop to be had! And between EW’s pre-Emmy bash Saturday night and yesterday’s main event, my scoop cup runneth over. But rather than get you all totally plastered on spoilers, for now I’m boiling the intel down to the 12 one-on-ones that will really knock you for a loop.

* While teasing Ben’s overall arc this season on Lost, I’m fairly certain Michael Emerson let slip the overarching theme of season 5: “He’s sort of free-floating in the ********** of ********* and ****.” Asterisk quiz revealed via this link!

* Is it true? Is Claire going to be MIA during all of season 5? Emilie de Ravin solves this particular Lost mystery here.

* Hmm…If Jin is dead, what was Lost’s Daniel Dae Kim doing in Hawaii last week? Let’s ask him!

* You already know that Addison is getting a bro on Private Practice this season in the form of Grant Show. But what you may not know is which member(s) of the Montgomery clan will be visiting next. Kate Walsh knows, and she’s spillin’ like a villain right here.

* Is it really over for Tyra and Landry? Friday Night Lights‘ towering beauty Adrianne Palicki weighs in right here.

* Jorja Fox places odds on a Grissom-Sara happy ending on CSI. She also answers this question: What the hell was she thinking leaving CSI?! Click here for the goods!

* My absolute favorite one-on-one from Emmy weekend was actually a one-on-two: It’s with enormous pride and excitement that I give you the first-ever on camera meeting between The Office’s John Krasinski and Lost’s Evangeline Lilly.

* Booth’s brother has been cast! And David Boreanaz is so excited I think he ID’d the wrong Behr/Fehr! (I’m pretty sure he meant to say Brendan.) I’ll forgive him since he went on to talk about Booth and Bones having some sex! Have fun with this one, kids!

* Emmy golden girl Tina Fey responds to critics who worry she’s taking 30 Rock into Will & Grace territory with all the stunt casting. Plus: Will she return to SNL as you-know-who? Watch, look, listen!

* Ted’s baby mama will be revealed! And Neil Patrick Harris (thinks he) knows when! Click here with caution, spoilerphobes.

* If you’ve already watched my Q&A with House’s sublime Lisa Edelstein, it’s worth a second look. She’s just that awesome.

* The Office’s Mindy Kaling confirms my big Jim-Pam scoop! And we love her for it! Place your cursor right here and press down!

Okay, confession time: Several of my most scooptastic interviews were intentionally left off the above list. It’s not just because I don’t love you. It’s because I don’t love you and I need some hot material for this week’s Ask Ausiello, not to mention the next installment of Ausiello TV. So just consider the preceding the appetizer course, and be grateful I’ve helped you leave room for the entrees.

    Brendan is NOT a Behr. He is Fehr…close but not quite the same. Now I wish it were Jason because I could see that one better than Brendan even though I love Brendan just as much as Jason.

  • Angélique

    I saw you in a report “100 % Mag”, diffused on M6, in France thus. It was for the Emmy, you considered bizarrely at the camera XD
    Thank you for all these interviews !
    a french fan ;)

  • genniel

    I heard David Boreanaz say Jason Behr quite clearly- not Fehr. I would think that David would know who he was working with. I could understand the mix up if he had just said a last name since they are so close but he specifically said Jason so I am confident it is Jason Behr. I can see that more because I think Jason’s and David’s colorings, etc, would make them better siblings.

  • genniel

    Well, guess I should’ve clicked on the Brendan link first. I hope David is embarassed to not even know the guest star’s first name!! Just like I am embarassed to not read everything before commenting. Guess I’ll go back to lurking.

  • Gusmo

    ugh. links to video are annoying. can’t you just write up the story? i realize that you need to sell ads to keep the site going, but not all of us have time to watch all those clips.

  • wontonjon

    I like that Palin is now referred to as “You-Know-Who”… Very Voldemort of her

  • NoTimeForThis

    can someone just transcribe these, please.

  • holly

    Loved Jorja Fox’s interview. What a gracious lady. We can only hope to see her again on TV or in the movies very soon. It would also be well deserved to see her and William Petersen get richly deserved Emmys for Their work on CSI.

  • Zoey

    I’m dying for some Mad Men scoop! The season is almost over and there’s still so much the show needs to delve into, it’s driving me crazy.

  • annoyed

    Ugh, am I the only one annoyed with the fact that this post is basically just a list of links to video interviews? If I wanted to watch all the interviews I would watch them. What’s the point of the big long list post – just say go look the emmy video interviews. Takes less time for you.

  • Melly

    Can someone please summarize each of the video links? I am at work and cannot load the videos on my work computer. If that is too much work, please just tell hook me up with the LOST info. If anyone could oblige I would GREATLY appreciate it!!!

  • John

    Melly, how about you actually do WORK when you’re at work, and then watch them when you get home? There’s a noble idea. That way, no one has to go out of their way for you.
    Annoyed, the list is so you can decide if you actually want to “waste” the entire two minutes it takes to watch each individual clip. We’re all real sorry you don’t have the 2 minutes to spare. Seriously, are you people THAT needy?

  • Amanda

    John and Evangeline’s interview was SO funny and cute!!! :) Loved how Evi was giving John advice for a rain proposal scene!!! :) And John and Evi are SO cute together!!! I wonder if Ausiello was trying to hook them up??? ;)

  • Smith

    I need someone to watch the Neil Patrick Harris interview and summarize what NPH has to say about “How I Met Your Mother.” And if someone could go ahead and bullet-point any important “Lost” highlights, that would be awesome, too. I’ll check back here shortly. Thanks.

  • sudo

    dude … so sly with getting david to give out info like that …. ‘yeah its already kinda … out there…’ ‘oh it is well its ….’ so sly ….

  • marcee

    I’m with everyone who wishes these ’spoilers’ were readable instead of watchable. I don’t have the patience to sit through all the videos. At least when I’m reading spoilers I can click back and forth between other things; with video you actually have to stop what you’re doing and watch. Anyone willing to bullet the important bits (I’m sure there aren’t many) would have my undying gratitude.

  • JS

    there are no *spoilers*, just red carpet pleasantries. And I don’t know what this “Ion Television” nonsense is, but William Shatner threatening that he is “on his way”(??) doesn’t sit well with me.

  • Kari

    Wow John, wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning? Criticizing a fellow poster – not very useful and not on topic. Melly, and everyone else here has the right to prefer to read an article, than watch a bunch of video links. You have the right to watch the video links if you want, not watch them if you don’t want to, and not respond like a spoiled brat when others prefer a different form of getting information. If others ask for a synopsis and you don’t want to oblige, then quite simply don’t. No one asked you or any one else to go “out of your way” for them. Some people don’t consider it a big deal to summarize the links. So, don’t call someone needy when they did nothing to you. It makes you sound like the whiner instead.

  • Tais

    SVU spoilers, pleaseeeee

  • KateNix

    David Boreanaz is a notorious smartass in interviews. He gave out the Roswell hint and them Michael told him it was already out there, he smirked and lied. You could tell he was saying Jason Behr to be purposely misleading.

  • Anonymous

    Your interview with Adrianne Palicki was great. Thanks for giving some hope for Tyra/Landry.

  • Lindsey

    I’m not sure what everyone is talking about.. David Boreanaz clearly said Jason Behr. I didn’t watch Roswell, but looking at Jason Behr and Brendan Fehr, I don’t know how anyone could think he got the wrong one.. I definitely couldn’t see him and Brendan Fehr playing brothers…

  • Lindsey

    Nevermind. I guess TV Guide is reporting that it is Brendan Fehr.. Weird… Just going by looks, I still can’t see them as brothers… I wonder if David Boreanaz really was just trying to be misleading since the official news didn’t break yet..

  • Caroline

    I couldn’t get what Adrianne is saying at the end.. is it something has to do with her & Riggs??
    Can someone explain, please?
    Thanks

  • John

    Kari, I’m still not seeing how assuming that someone would want to waste a decent amount of time doing something for you because you “don’t have the time to,” when you clearly have the time to initially read the post, come back at a later time to check to see someone has responded, and THEN wag your finger at me for being off-topic isn’t considered being selfish? If it’s not a big deal, then why has no one done it yet? Some of y’all have serious instant gratification issues.

  • Teresa

    please michael… did you get some BSG material?

  • Court

    John, could you please suggest how those of us who are hard of hearing see the videos? Without a proper subtitled track those of us with hearing problems can’t enjoy the videos.
    Back when Ausiello was reporting at TVGuide, those who were hard of hearing or who couldn’t watch the videos because of dial-up requested a transcription in the post’s comments. The tradition has been carried over in the video posts here at EW as you can see in previous posts with videos. No one is asking you to do it so chill out.

  • Lauren

    Okay, since I’ve benefited from other people posting transcripts in the past, I’ll try to return the favor. Sorry, I only watched the videos for the shows I watch. Lost – Ben said he’s “free-floating in the dimensions of geography and time.” Claire will disappear for a while but will definitely be back for the final season. Jin’s fate is up in the air but you’ll be rewarded if you keep watching – and he just came from Hawaii yesterday so that’s a good sign. Kate doesn’t think you should necessary believe her decision is set with Sawyer. The Office – just more talk about something mementous happening with Jim and Pam in the rain (Mindy jokes that they get killed in a tragic car accident in the rain – at least I assume she was joking!). HIMYM – NPH thinks the mother will be revealed in the series finale, regardless of whether it’s this year or during a later season. Hope this helps someone :-)

    Thank you Lauren!
