TV Land Awards Will Be a Night to Remember!

Think TV Land takes their TV Land Awards seriously? Oh, could be. Check out the names they’ve lined up for the upcomming show: STEVE CARELL, JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, MIKE MYERS, THE CAST OF “ROSEANNE,” ROBIN WILLIAMS, GARRY MARSHALL, “THE GOLDEN GIRLS,” DICK VAN DYKE, JONATHAN WINTERS, PENNY MARSHALL, CINDY WILLIAMS, HENRY WINKLER, KATHY GRIFFIN, JACK KLUGMAN, KIM ALEXIS, RAINN WILSON, BEVERLY JOHNSON AND MORE! The awards show will be hosted by gorgeous Vanessa Williams from Ugly Betty.

I wonder why Vanessa Williams never released more cds… her voice is exceptional. Remember Colors Of the Wind? Speaking of exceptional voices (completely accidental segue - I’m not that clever), non other than Lionel Richie will perform on the TV Land Awards. He’ll perform a medley of his hits. He’ll certainly have plenty to choose from.

The show - which is obviously Can’t Miss TV will air on Sunday, June 15 AT 9 P.M. ET/PT. I know I’ll remind you between now and then, but go ahead and mark your calendars anyway. Every calendar in my house is marked, but you know me, I’m pretty much obsessed with TV Land and classic television.

Roseanne and family, Laverne, Shirley, Fonzie, Rob, Mork, the Golden Girls… Wow!

Honorees and presenters include:

Justin Timberlake will present The Legacy of Laughter Award to Mike Myers. The two will be in the upcomming movie “The Love Guru” - its arrival in theaters is also marked on my calendar (June 20). It’ll be out the same night Steve Carrell’s (Another star TV Land has lined up!) movie Get Smart is. I can’t wait for both of these. Justin Timberlake and Mike Myers also together worked in Shrek 3, too.

Penny Marshall, Cindy Williams. Henry Winkler, Jack Klugman and Dick Van Dyke will present The Legend Award to Garry Marshall. The name Garry Marshall certainly fits into the category of legend, doesn’t it?

Robin Williams will present The Pioneer Award to Jonathan Winters, from one comedic genius to another.

The Innovator Award will be presented to the cast of “Roseanne.” (YESSSS!!!) This award is presented to a series whose influence is still felt and is evident in television today; a show that carved out new territory, redefining elements of the genre and opening new pathways for others to follow. ….and made you laugh so hard you thought you’d die from glee. I added that last part.

The Pop Culture Award will be awarded to “The Golden Girls.” This award is presented to a show that has crossed the line from television series to pop culture phenomenon. The Golden Girls is another one of my all-time favorites. Has there ever been a more perfectly cast series? There absolutely could not have been another Blanche, Rose, Sophia, or Dorothy.

Sunday night - June 15th!
