Archer

Check out the fate that befalls ISIS’ Agent Ray Gillette in this new video [if you thought he was bitchy before, just imagine how this would make him feel!] – and after the jump, Sterling Archer gives new meaning to the phrase, ‘the most dangerous game’ in a preview of next week’s all-new episode of Archer: El Contador!

FX’s animated cult hit, Archer [Thursdays, 10/9C], returns this week with The Man From Jupiter, guest-starring Burt Reynolds [as himself], who just happens to be dating ISIS chief Malory Archer – something that that Sterling Archer finds more upsetting than the Cuban hit squad that is out to kill him.

On Friday the 13th [perhaps not the most auspicious day], H. Jon Benjamin, the voice of Stirling Archer, spoke with a group of bloggers/journalists about that and the proverbial much, much more. What followed was a wee bit stranger than the usual celebrity Q&A…

Burt Reynolds is appearing on FX’s hit animated spy spoof, Archer – as himself – in the January episode entitled, ‘The Man From Jupiter’ [Reynolds’ home in Florida], in which he dates Malory Archer – much to her son’s great displeasure.

This week’s episode of Archer [FX, Thursdays, 10/9C], El Secuestro, is built around the character of Cheryl/Carol, dim bulb secretary to the self-involved head of ISIS, Malory Archer. It’s an episode packed with unexpected delights and a juicy secret or two.

cheryl ARCHER:  Judy Greer as the voice of Cheryl". CR: FX

Judy Greer is all over the place lately. Besides playing the fluctuatingly named Cheryl/Carol on Archer [FX, Thursdays, 10/9C], she’s one of four leads on the unusual CBS sitcom Mad Love; appeared in half a dozen movies in 2010, and has three more coming out this year.

Recently, I had the opportunity to take part in a conference call with her about her role as Cheryl/Carol, semi-competent/totally dim secretary to Mallory Archer on the FX animated spy comedy, Archer. It seems that Cheryl/Carol has an unusual phobia – and an even bigger secret [or three – but you’ll have to watch Thursday’s episode for those – some secrets are just to juicy to spoil]!

How do you top the kind of unspeakably crude and equally unspeakably funny work of your first brilliant season? If you’re Adam Reed, creator of Archer [FX, Thursdays, 10/9C], you dig deep and go for a situation that’s so uncool that even Sterling Archer is compelled to show some discipline!

Jessica Walter-1 Malory_Archer

Some things I learned over the course of Jessica Walter’s Q&A session in support of tomorrow’s second season premiere of Archer [FX, Thursdays, 10/9C]: she was the first actor cast for the series; she cites a surprising difference between Arrested Development’s Lucille Bluth and Archer’s Malory Archer [and it has nothing to do with running a spy agency], and she gets a genuine kick out of the… shall we say ribald… nature of the show. Plus, an update on the Arrested Development movie and news of some of Walter’s other upcoming projects.

Also on the call, from FX, was Scott Seomin.
