Craig Robinson Hangs Out on ‘Reno 911!’
June 10, 2009 by Chandra
There’s a nice episode of Comedy Central’s Reno 911! coming up tonight, June 10. It’s called “Deputy Dance” and features guest star Craig Robinson of The Office over on NBC and flicks like Pineapple Express.
The latest law-enforcement shenanigans in Nevada revolve around the Reno Sheriff’s Department decision to hire the city’s so-called “finest director” to help them make a new recruitment commercial. Considering the recruitment advertisements fans have seen in the past, the cops are gonna need a whole lot more than just a measly top-notch director to help them attract non-crazy potential new recruits. Just sayin’.

January 25, 2009 by Chandra
Director and writer Kevin Smith has done it again. Combining the talents of Seth Rogen (Pineapple Express, Superbad, Knocked Up) and Elizabeth Banks (Scrubs, The 40 Year Old Virgin, the Spider-Man trilogy) with a hilarious script helped him create his latest hit flick, last year’s distinctively titled sex comedy Zack and Miri Make a Porno.
The movie follows the adventures of Zack Brown (Rogen) and Miriam Linky (Banks) as they attempt to do exactly what the title says. Nobody can claim they don’t know what they’re getting themselves into when they sit down to watch this one.

August 12, 2008 by Chandra
The Office cast member Craig Robinson (pictured at left with co-star Leslie David Baker), best known to fans of the NBC sitcom as warehouse specialist Darryl Philbin, recently set aside some time to talk to Pop Candy blogger Whitney Matheson.
