James Roday & Dulé Hill, Stars from the hit TV Show PSYCHED, Are Talking With Us About The Sixth Season and How These Two Are Keeping Busy When They're Not On TV

With nearly two million Facebook fans, Psych stars James Roday as police consultant Shawn Spencer who solves crimes with powers of observation so acute the precinct detectives think he's psychic. With help from his best friend and reluctant sidekick, Gus (Dulé Hill) and his father, Henry (Corbin Bernsen), they continue to solve the mysterious and often bizarre crimes of the Santa Barbara Police Department. Also starring Timothy Omundson, Maggie Lawson and Kirsten Nelson.

Dule Hill (The West Wing) will be seen in two upcoming new films and James Roday (Dukes of Hazzard) has stepped behind to camera to direct and star in a movie of his own making. Together, they are an unusual crime solving duo in the cult hit series “Psych.” This season features a diverse line up of guest stars making a quirky appearance – from William Shatner, and Danny Glover to Molly Ringwald and Wade Boggs. Please let me know if you’d like to talk with Dule Hill and James Roday on Monday, October 10th. Thanks,

Best known for his work as Charlie Young on “The West Wing,” Dulé Hill first came to prominence as The Kid opposite Savion Glover and Jeffrey Wright in "Bring in 'Da Noise, Bring in 'Da Funk." He’s appeared on Broadway and has many theatrical credits to his name.

James Roday began his career studying theatre at New York University's Experimental Theatre Wing and graduated with a degree in fine arts. In addition to acting, Roday and his writing partners, wrote the screenplay for the LionsGate Film "Skinwalkers." Roday also co-wrote both the PSYCH season one and two finales as well as several episodes of seasons three through six, in addition to directing a few of them.

Sam Nelson, Grandson To TV Legends Ozzie And Harriet Nelson Is Sharing With Us What It's Like Digitizing His Grandparents' Classic Show And The Development of The TV Documentary for “The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet”

Millions of people have been influenced, directly or indirectly, by “The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet” television show, which ran from October 3, 1952 to September 3, 1966. Now the grandson of Ozzie and Harriet Nelson and son of Ricky Nelson plans to rejuvenate an interest in those vintage shows.

Sam Nelson was granted access to the family archives following the death of his uncle, David Nelson, six months ago. The archives, which haven’t been opened in almost 45 years, have produced hundreds of hours of film from the vaults as well as actors, musicians, producers and others involved with the show talking about the series and its impact on them and American culture. Also in the vaults were the original radio shows that sparked the television series.

“The Adventures Of Ozzie And Harriet” is one of the first and most influential family situation comedies in the history of television. Starring Ozzie, Harriet, David and Rick Nelson, the series featured a real life family portraying fictional versions of the family. It could be called the first reality show on TV! Every week viewers went into the home of the Nelson’s and watched the family experience every-day life and the growing pains of David and Rick, along with their parents, through light hearted comedic adventures. Indeed, America tuned in and grew up with the Nelson’s, known as America’s Favorite Family.

Nelson, the youngest grandson of Ozzie and Harriet Nelson and son of Ricky Nelson, is a graduate of Boston College. After graduation he returned to California, where he worked for MCA Records and EMI Capitol Records, working with artists including Merle Haggard, Duran Duran, Megadeth, Blondie, N.E.R.D, Lenny Kravitz and Glen Campbell. He also spearheaded the successful effort for radio DJ Rodney "on the Roq" Bingenheimer to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. While his main goal is brand and estate management, he also performs and produces music with his rock band, H is Orange.

Talking With Us Today Is Chef Charlie Palmer and Son Courtland In Order To Support "A PALMER PIG ROAST " In Order To Help Feed Orphans In The Dominican

Join the Palmer family for a Wine Country Pig Roast featuring fine wines, delicious pork plates and a live auction, all in support of Russ's Kitchen Project - a state of the art panadería (kitchen/bakery) for Altagracia, an orphanage located in the Dominican Republic.

In connection with Community Based Service Learning at Cardinal Newman High School, I started Russ's Kitchen Project which will provide food and aid for the girls of Hogar Doña Chucha and Altagracia, who are abandoned, orphaned and disadvantaged in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

They are determined to build a panadería (kitchen/bakery) in Santo Domingo and have set a personal goal to raise $85,000. This represents the budget to build, equip, supply labor and raise the panaderia to appropriate standards. No donation is too big or too small.
