TVLine Items: Louie Anderson Joins Party, Top Chef Premiere and More
TBS’ Search Party continues to expand: Emmy winner Louie Anderson (Baskets) will recur during Season 3 of the dark comedy, TVLine has learned.
Anderson will play Bob, a sweet but extremely absentminded old-school lawyer from Chicago. He is described as “warm, sentimental and optimistic, but can’t seem to remember his clients’ names and is maybe dying.”
In Season 3, Dory and her pals’ friendship “corrodes under the pressure of covering up a semi-accidental murder,” per the official description. The group must “lawyer up as they become notorious public figures overnight. Now their full-time jobs are navigating the media circus that has become the trial of the millennium.”

Which of today’s TVLine Items piques your interest?
It’s too bad Top Chef isn’t in November, as Junior should end soon.
3 restaurants? I wonder if that means RW will be earlier.
And nasty Kentucky basketball with the cheater Calipari will be a low point.
You hate us because you’re not us.
I’m a Duke fan, so you know that I don’t envy your “success.”
People hate you because you are cheaters.
Top Chef Kentucky looks awesome! Oh and please name 1 way Kentucky has cheated under Coach Calipari. I’ll wait… and good luck with your Zion investigation.
😂😂😂 That’s what cheaters and egotistical 💩s say.
And to MattK, Bam Adebayo and Kevin Knox *cough cough* FBI Investigation.
And before you mention Cal’s response, what else is he going to say? You think that cheater is actually going to admit it? Look at every last stop he has made. Cheating is in his blood.
I’m pretty sure that was Louisville that got caught cheating not Kentucky
I know it’s because of the time we are in right now and I’m all for Women’s Rights and Equality but Dorian would be much better with a male Dorian Gray. The CW needs to up his gay/bi male visibility anyway.
I love his work and I’m happy to see he’s doing well and is going to be back on TV again
