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:

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 “disecting” 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.

I’m going to visit RENO 911! cast at Upright Citizen Brigade Theatre in Los Angeles. RENO 911! main cast minus Wendy McClendon-Covey and Mary Birdsong plus Nick Swardson will be there discussing the parody of their show RENO 911: A XXX Parody.

If you haven’t reserved any tickets, then you would have to go to the box-office on Monday July 26th, before the show.  The show starts at Midnight. Yes, it will be technically on Tuesday.

Reno 911 presents Reno 911: A XXX Parody
The real cast of Reno 911 comes together to explore/celebrate/examine the newly released Reno 911: A XXX Parody. And it’s all for charity!

Featuring:

  • Robert Ben Garant
  • Kerri Kenney-Silver
  • Thomas Lennon
  • Joe LoTruglio
  • Niecy Nash
  • Carlos Alazraqui
  • Cedric Yarbrough
  • Ian Roberts
  • Nick Swardson

This will be the second appearance of Carlos Alazraqui with the rest of RENO 911! Season 6 cast after the “death” of James Oswaldo Garcia as revealed in Season 6 premiere episode. Back in January 2010, the whole RENO 911! main cast members sans Wendi McClend0n-Covey were on stage together. In May 2005 Carlos Alazraqui was reunited with Cedric Yarbrough, Wendy McClendon-Covey, Mary Birdsong and Jill-Michele Meleán at his wedding day. Yes ladies, Carlos is officially off the market.

See you there.

Editing note:
I first said that this would be the first time Carlos Alazraqui appeared together with the rest RENO 911! cast members, but in fact they did make an appearance together back in January 2010 in San Francisco.

Part 2 of December 2009 Video Update from Carlos Alazraqui.

“RENO 911! is Canceled. August 13, 2009

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!

RENO 911!: The Complete Sixth Season DVD Set July 9, 2009

Posted by very in : Announcement, Comedian, Comedy, Entertainment, Humor, Media, Movies, News, Resources, TV , add a comment

RENO 911!: The Complete Sixth Season DVD Set was released on Tuesday July 7th, preempting the Season 6 Finale that was due on Wednesday July 8th. The two-disc set contains total of 15 episodes from the “shocking” season premiere episode to the season finale episode.

RENO 911!: The Complete Sixth Season DVD Set from Amazon.com

RENO 911!: The Complete Sixth Season

Season 6 starts with no mentions of the presumably killed Deputies. Fans are crying foul over the absence of Deputy Johnson, Deputy Kimball and especially Deputy Garcia (played by Wendi McLendon-Covey, Mary Birdsong and Carlos Alazraqui respectively). Enter Seargant Jack Declan and Deputy Frank Rizzo (played by Ian Roberts and Joe Lo Truglio respectively).

Fans of the show are divided in two, those who still like the show and those who now hate Season 6.

I am planning to buy the DVD set for two particular episodes. The first one with George Lopez and Jill-Michele Meleán. The second one with the tribute for Garcia involving some explosives and a canon.

There is no official word yet about the Seventh Season.

Disclaimer 1:

I have done a few projects with Carlos Alazraqui and plan to continue doing so. In addition to that I am also working with Jill-Michele Meleán who plays Maria Garcia (James Garcia’s Sister) and Gloria (Mayor Hernandez’s girlfriend in Season 6 Episode 8).

If you bought anything through Amazon link above, and I get some kickbacks.
