RENO 911! cast sans Wendi and Mary are here. Wendi McClendon-Covey is working on a movie and Mary Birdsong is working on a Broadway Show.

Long “Jurassic Park” intro with the cast. From stage left to stage right:

  • Robert Ben Garant
  • Jo LoTruglio
  • Niecy Nash
  • Ian Roberts
  • Thomas Lennon (he’s moving around quite a bit while introducing the cast)
  • Kerri Kenney-Silver
  • Nick Swardson
  • Cedric Yarbrough
  • Carlos Alazraqui

Some cast and crew of RENO 911: A XXX Parody are also in the audience.

The RENO 911! cast making colorful commentaries to the parody of their show during the showing of the XXX Parody sans the nudity and sex. Well, they are “dissecting” the acting and the set.

There were some Q&A sessions and RENO 911! props giveaway. Niecy had to leave early because she had a shooting schedule in early morning. Audience members walked home with free copies of the parody DVD.

After the show I talked to Cedric and Carlos while the rest of the cast either gone or busy talking to other people. The last time I saw both of them was back in May at Carlos’ wedding. We are making plan to bring you more updates really soon.

Upcoming Review: Sony DSC-HX5V Digital Camera.

Sony has been airing the ad with Taylor Swift using DSC-HX5V for the past few weeks (months?). I finally got my hands on one. On loan, of course. I can’t spend my money on it, not in this economy. P.S. Simon, where’s my paycheck?

Anyway, this camera is the next generation of point and shoot digital camera. It records AVCHD video, and it has GPS built-in. The “iSweep Panorama” is the killer feature of this camera. No more the awkward picture stitching to make that panoramic one. It is really easy to do on this camera.

Anyway, I’ll be taking this camera on Saturday to a wedding; Carlos Alazraqui’s.

Expect a full review really soon!

In the meantime here’s a picture taken using Sony DSC-HX5V iSweep Panorama feature, re-compressed using Adobe Photoshop.

Carlos Alazraqui: Q&A – Birthplace.

Carlos Alazraqui sets the record straight regarding his Birthplace. Some Wikipedia Editors are citing IMDB that Alazraqui was born in Sacramento, California while others are saying that Alazraqui was born in Yonkers, New York.

Carlos says: Yonkers, New York.

Unofficial Announcement: RENO 911! Clementine Johnson to Visit Troops Overseas. (Corrected)

Think of it as an unofficial announcement, RENO 911! cast members are scheduled to visit The U.S. Troops overseas. The cast members will be reunited for the first time in character after the show was cancelled this past Summer 2009. Yes, the reunion will include Deputy James Garcia and Deputy Cherissa Kimball. No words yet if Deputy Clementine Johnson will partake in this reunion.

Thank You to all members af U.S. Troops. It’s a small Thank You for all of you.

Stay tuned for more news on this.

Apologies for those who read the post earlier, as I heard it wrong. What it’s supposed to say:

RENO 911! cast members to reunite in San Francisco this January 2010 sans Wendi McLendon-Covey. Wendi will not be joining the RENO 911! reunion because she will be visiting the Troops overseas at the same time.

Stay tuned for more.

“RENO 911! is Canceled.

It’s official! Comedy Central cancels RENO 911! today as revealed by show creator Thomas Lennon through Twitter.

“Reno 911! was cancelled at 1:30 pm today. Won’t be wearing the shorts again.”

Fans blame show creators for killing off the Deputies.

More on this.

I talked to Carlos Alazraqui who played Deputy James Oswaldo Garcia at The Hollywood Improv on Thursday night. Alazraqui says that he never left but only one season ahead of the show itself. He also says that fans can always watch the show on re-run and DVD. In addition to that Alazraqui will be hitting the road with Cedric Yarbrough (Deputy S. Jones) for the coming months.

p.s. Trying to get Cedric Yarbrough to say a few words about RENO 911! and his current projects. Stay tuned!
