But he's doing a tribute to Rachel Maddow and something about how he's "practically Amish."

Have we actually come to a point where "stars" we use to stunt cast a show openly admit they're not qualified?

God help us...

More importantly, have we come to a point where Carson Kressley is used for stunt casting?

I saw him do DROWSY CHAPERONE in Maine. He's got a larger-than-life personality that works very nicely on stage. He was very good in the role.

Who was it that said: he can't sing, can't dance, can't act...he's perfect! (or was it she...) from RC in Austin, Texas

The point of Newsical is that they're constantly updating the show with current headlines. They're smart people. They can write their way around a star with limited talents and make him look fabulous.

Whether said star is an actual draw that will sell tickets is another question entirely.

FANatic, it's a line from "The Producers."
