Please turn off the sound on the videos, I really caught it a work. before I could pause the video for silence.. lol
shhhhhhhh !!

I agree, that’s annoying! At least have a pause button I could push!

Maybe try actually working instead of fucking around on the internet?

i will not miss this show!!

I’m looking forward to this! 🙂

Well I hope they taped this because Delaney was so screwed up last night she presented an award to Robert Gates she got escorted off the stage, she looked like she was on something. Disgraceful!!!! She plays an Army wife on a TV show. Reality please!

If Kim Delaney is having addiction problems, let’s pray that she gets the help she needs!

While we are at it lets pray for every military person she insulted last night, she does not get a pass on this one sorry!! She owes a huge apology for starters and I personally am getting a little tired of total disrespect and manners for our brave women and men who serve in our military to protect us so some drunk B actress can insult them.

WOW… I did’nt even know that Kim Delaney played Jenny Gardner on AMC……81 and 82 ….. I was in Germany so I missed a lot of the shows. but I love her on Army wifes. and ill miss watching AMC…… so sad to see it go off the air….

Kim Delaney has had substance abuse problems in the past. Something is obviously going on now. I hope that she gets the help that she needs before something far worse than making a fool of herself happens!

If you pay attention to this clip, Kim is reading from a prompter. She puts her head forward a bit to see what’s there at one point. Maybe they had it too far away, maybe tech difficulties, maybe she had difficulty seeing….but I don’t think it was related to substance abuse. The other side….even when celebs use prompters they are usually given script beforehand to have an idea of what they are going to say. What really happened????

Kim Delaney looked like s**t on The View. Puffy eyes, nasty looking cosmetic surgery results. Everyone else looked fresh and fabulous. Sorry to see The clip of Agnes Nixon tearing up at the end of the final AMC episode. Great lady.

I don’t understand why “the view” has decided to support AMC now when they couldn’t be bothered to support it when they (AMC) needed that support. One day it will be your turn to wonder why no one is supporting you. As far as I’m concerned it cannot come soon enough.

Why would anybody be concerned about those cackling hens on the VIEW?

Carol Burnett Talks About Being a Superfan of ‘All My Children’ on ‘Live with Kelly and Mark’

In a heartfelt reunion, of sorts, the one and only Carol Burnett appeared on Monday March 25th episode of Live with Kelly and Mark.

Burnett had first met Kelly Ripa (Hayley) and Mark Consuelos (ex-Mateo) back when they all appeared on All My Children together. Carol played Verla Grubbs first in 1983 and then again in the 90’s.

Host Kelly Ripa (ex-Hayley, AMC) noted to Burnett that “we go back a long time”. She also described Burnett’s character of Verla Grubbs, “extraordinary in every way.”

Carol’s love for All My Children is well-documented, hence legendary soap creator, Agnes Nixon, created the role of Verla for Burnett.

Speaking on how her passion for All My Children began, Carol told Kelly and Mark, “It started with my kids. They would watch at noon. I said, ‘What are you guys doing?’ I sat down and I started to watch and I got hooked!”

When Carol’s family decided to travel through Europe during one summer, the comedic legend recalled thinking, “How am I going to last if I don’t know what’s going on in Pine Valley?” She revealed she had a friend, “who sent me a telegram to the (different hotels) on Fridays to bring me up to date.”

In a hilarious moment from the segment, Carol recalled receiving a late night telegram while in Lake Cuomo when there was a knock at her hotel room door from the hotel manager who was shaking.

Carol related what it said, “Erica is still in a coma. Mark slipped again and ran away from rehab.” As Kelly and Mark broke into laughter, Burnett continued, “Chuck has learned that Donna is carrying his baby, who was once a hooker.”

Check out Carol explaining how she became an AMC Superfan below.

Now, let us know, did you enjoy Carol as Verla Grubbs? What show do you consider yourself a Superfan of? Tell us in the comment section.

Malachy McCourt, ‘Ryan’s Hope’ and ‘All My Children’ Actor, Dead at 92

If you watched Ryan’s Hope through its 14-year-run, you know that Kevin the bartender became a beloved “member’ of the Ryan clan on the defunct ABC daytime drama series. The character of Kevin MacGuiness became so loved by the fans because of the actor who portrayed him, Malachy McCourt.

Sadly, according to his wife Diana McCourt to The New York Times, Malachy passed away on Monday from a heart condition and battling cancer. The actor was 92-years-old.

Playing Kevin on Ryan’s Hope was not much of a stretch for McCourt, because in his lifetime, he was the owner of 1950s Irish pub Malachy’s on Third Avenue in Manhattan. Known as one of the city’s great story-tellers, patrons from longshoremen to the actor Richard Harris would stop in and talk all things Irish with . On Ryan’s Hope, Kevin was best friends to “Ryan’s Bar” owner, Johnny Ryan (Bernie Barrow) and he tried to keep Delia (Ilene Kristen) on the straight and narrow.

In his soap opera career, McCourt also was widely-known for his role of Father Clarence McCourt on All My Children especially come Christmastime. Was Clarence, actually St. Nick? That was always the proverbial question. McCourt also appeared on the New York soaps: One Life To Live, Search For Tomorrow and Another World. Other roles included: Devil’s Own, Brewster’s Millions, The Molly Maguires, and Starman, to name 

Later in 2006, Malachy ran for governor of the state of New York as a Green Party candidate. He tackled social issues of the time including being an advocate for gay and lesbian groups to march in the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

McCourt’s childhood was recounted within his brother Frank McCourt’s Pulitzer Prize-winning memoir Angela’s Ashes, which detailed their mother’s attempt to raise the four of their surviving seven children in poverty in Limerick, Ireland. Later, Malachy wrote his own memoirs: 1998’s Monk Swimming, and 2000’s Singing My Him Song.

Malachy is survived by his aforementioned wife, Diana, daughter Siobhan McCourt; sons Malachy Jr., Conor and Cormac; stepdaughter Nina Galin; nine grandchildren; and one great-grandson.

Share you remembrances and condolences for Malachy McCourt via the comment section, but first check out this scene from a 1983 episode of “Ryan’s Hope” featuring the late actor with Ilene Kristen.
