Cloris Leachmean: "I'm So Sick of Betty White" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 08-02-2010, 11:57 PM

Everyone loves Betty White, but not Cloris Leachman.

"I'm so sick of Betty White," Leachman said at the Television Critics Association's fall previews on Tuesday. "Never liked her."

The 84-year-old actress, who plays a wild, chest-baring granny in Fox's new fall comedy Raising Hope, commandeered the show's session, forcing co-star Garret Dillahunt to switch seats mid-Q&A and reporters to stand up and say their names when asking her questions.

"As can see it's pretty easy. You don't have to do much," Leachman's co-star, Martha Plimpton, said with a chuckle about working with the Oscar and nine-time Emmy winner. "It's a sheer delight." Raising Hope revolves around 23-year-old Jimmy (Lucas Neff), who unexpectedly becomes a dad after a one-night stand with a wanted felon in the first episode. Plimpton plays Jimmy's mom Virginia.

Leachman didn't hold back on the profanity either, asking Plimpton if she had f------ creator and executive producer Greg Garcia (My Name is Earl) in the middle of the panel after Plimpton paid him a compliment. Plimpton admonished her: That's "make-up trailer talk."

Leachman's co-stars should be advised not to get too attached to their out-spoken castmate, who told shared with reporters the exact locations of her Oscar and Emmy awards in her house.

"You bet your life," Leachman said of her hopes to receive a 20th Emmy nomination for the series. "If I don't get an Emmy for this show, I'm leaving."

Yeah, they've always been best of friends.

Yeah, I knew Cloris was kidding around.

Plus, that really is an awesome pic of them with Mary.

You never know, maybe Cloris just never forgave her for sleeping w/ Lars! LOL.

Oh, that's right, though Betty and Cloris were always the best of friends, (as far as I know), Phyllis hated SueAnn!!!! Maybe that's the joke.

After 35 years, you'd think she'd have gotten over it by now.

Wow, you don't really see John Amos at a lot of TMTMS events. He's usually involved in a lot of Good Times events, however.

McGillicuddy · 08-03-2010, 03:02 PM

I did a google search for pics of TMTMS cast and one came up with them taken after they received their TVLand award, which includes Amos. John Amos went up with the rest of the cast to accept the award. Now that I think about it, Georgia Engel was missing from this reunion as was the late Ted Knight, of course. www.vcstar.com/photos/2008/mar/26/35048

Anyways, Moore, Leachman and White are dressed the same as the above picture.

Wow - she's usually at all the other reunions. Maybe she just had a prior commitment.
