Little show, big heart, dirty mind, generous star ... Legit on FX

Spent last night catching up on Legit on FX. You should certainly be watching this show. It does a lot of things really well. Not only does it translate Australian comedian Jim Jefferies' stage persona very well but it does that while making the show a true ensemble which is a testament to Jefferies' generosity and good sense.The series creators are Jim and Peter O'Fallon, with episodes written by the two with Rick Cleveland (The West Wing, Six Feet Under, Runaway Jury).

Not only does Legit give a lot of time to its supporting cast, that cast is comprised of performers that don't always get cast in roles that let them explore a characters' issues and boundaries. Dan Bakkedahl plays Jim's best friend Steve Nugent and DJ Qualls gets the best role of is career as Steve's brother Billy who lives with muscular dystrophy.

In the pilot episode Jim and Steve break Billy out of his board and care facility against the wishes of his mom (the amazing Mindy Sterling who you know from the Austin Powers films who again, with Bakkedahl and Qualls ... GETS TO ACT!) and they take him to a Nevada brothel to lose his virginity.

(Wish I could give you a clip from it but I can't find one online. There's a very sweet scene with the working girl who takes on the job of devirginizing Billy that also informs us that Billy has a huge penis. Having a huge penis btw is -- well good for you if you got one first of all, but also it's been a plot point in a lot of movies and TV shows lately and not just that MTV series that came and went so fast. There was Hung on HBO and Big Dick Ritchie in Magic Mike and there are more that escape me currently.)

From there we've seen Jim and Steve continue to normalize Billy's life, pulling him out of the facility to live with them in what isn't the nicest place in Los Angeles but looks affordable, which is novel for a TV show.

More, including a full episode and a preview of Thursday's episode, after the jump.

Entertainment Tonight hires Michael Jackson's 16-year-old son to report from film junkets

Luke Russert, Jenna Bush, Chelsea Clinton ...

I gotta think the producers of Oz, The Great & Powerful were thrilled when their actors showed up for the junket and Prince Michael Jackson, the 16-year-old son of the deceased pop star, was sitting there waiting to ask questions. And not just questions about their movie which they are paying to promote.

Hollywood Reporter: "Jackson's duties at the Oz junket included interviewing director Sam Raimi and actors James Franco and Zach Braff. He asked the trio for advice on how to get started in the entertainment business."

Yeah, they must have loved that! Who wants to talk about a movie they spent years putting together when you can give a pudgy kid who might actually be the son of a Beverly Hills dermatologist and not the son of a famous person advice on getting into movies.

Great job, ET! Maybe you can send Blanket to the premiere to work the red carpet.

STUFF TO KNOW! WGA winners, Sean Hayes on NBC, Maddow/McCain, Mehcad Brooks, Han Solo

Han Solo returns! Harrison Ford signs for new JJ Abrams Star Wars film.

Mehcad Brooks: "It's Not OK to Be Homophobic, Racist or Sexist," the former True Blood star currently working on USA's Necessary Roughness tells Huff Post Live. Rod 2.0 reports.

The Rachel Maddow show blog this morning on John McCain's squirrely Meet the Press appearance and still pushing accusations of wrongdoing in Benghazi.

Tom Lennon (your Lt. Dangle from Reno 911 and a great filmmaker) will costar with Sean Hayes in his pilot for NBC, directed by Jim Burrows and written by Victor Fresco. It's practically an all-star team. Looking forward to seeing this.

Among the WGA winners last night was my Facebook friend Michael Cyril Creighton, who won for his web series Jack In A Box. I was also excited about wins for Louie on FX and Portlandia on IFC.

Catch the premiere episode of Jack In A Box when you click to the rest of this post.

Khloe Kardashian is now an ex-X Factor host - NY Post

I didn't watch a moment of X Factor but I'm sad because Khloe is the only one of them I can stand. I actually even think she's a pretty cool gal, but apparently it was not working out.

It's kind of like she's the Dunkleman of this show now.

The NY Post has the breaking story (link).

I just don't want young girls to look at this and think Kim's life is the way to go. Ladies, do not get pregnant before you divorce the previous guy, it's untoward.

Also, if your boyfriend is the guy who jumps up on stage at award shows at strange times you might not be living your life in the best way possible. 

This blog and the Honda Motor Corp. wish you a Happy Slow Jam President's Day

I'm sure that Honda would love to thank Jimmy Fallon and his Slow Jam the News feature for the inspiration.
