Blind Item #10
This actor was A list back in the day. Mostly television. One hit network show to his credit. His name now has become a joke and his family even more so. Apparently he abandoned a child after a one night stand with the mom. No child support and no communication. Just a one time lump sum payment to the mom to go away. Now the kid is back and she says the mom from the one night stand was our actor's married co-star who divorced shortly after the baby was delivered. This is not Old Hollywood. Just big hair time period Hollywood.
Johnson or Hasselhoff
ReplyDeleteNo real clue. Before my time, I think.
Jesus Christ, this is exactly why I wait until evening to check comments. What?
ReplyDeleteIt isn't written in English. I think.
DeleteBut Hasselhoff had 2 hit show! Night Rider and Boobwatch. Don't you forget about Night Rider, Kristin!
ReplyDelete"Shazboot!" - @TTM
DeleteI have no idea what a Night Rider is. Is it porn?
Not that I'm insulted, but did you just call me TTM? Shazbot!
DeleteKit was the real star of the show
Sugar - maybe enty is being sneaky- Baywatch was only on network 1 year and then canceled due to poor ratings (not a hit), it then went into syndication and caught on worldwide but not on network tv.
DeleteShit! Shazbot! Just now realized it's Knight Rider! Not Night Rider!!!
DeletePotato Patato
@Sugar Shaz-Boot. Bc TTM is Canadia- never mind.
Delete@Texas rose knows The Baywatch. :)
I'm confused...but Knight Rider was the shite! Just hearing the theme song I would get SO excited! Wait, I get it!
DeleteHasselhof?
ReplyDeleteThe plot from "Soapdish" ?
ReplyDelete'Big hair time' - the 80's time period?
ReplyDeleteYep. @Debbie
DeleteAlan Thicke and....
ReplyDeleteLorenzo Lamas
ReplyDeleteKnight rider starred Hasselhoff and his talking car, Kit. They were crime fighters. Yes, I watched it. Sue me!
ReplyDeleteOooohhhh I like the Lorenzo Lamas guess. Just because his "family" is embarrassing. I'm not sure he's that much of a joke though. And the problem with Hasselhoff is, that while he might be a joke, has anyone from his FAMILY embarrassed themselves?
ReplyDeleteShazbot Sugar!
ReplyDeleteHulk Hogan for Superstars of Wrestling (or whatever it was called)
ReplyDeleteIf this is Lorenzo Lamas the co-star would be an actress named Ana Alicia who played his wife. She is married for about 20 years and has a son.
ReplyDeleteCan't be Ana Alicia; the actress in the blind got divorced shortly after the baby was born. She's never been divorced.
ReplyDeleteKITT, man--Knight Industries Two Thousand--not Kit. :)
ReplyDeleteShazbot, Snappy! I can't get anything right today in this blind!!!
DeleteKITT is the SHITT
Seems like there is enough clues here so we should be able to detective this shit out damn it.
ReplyDeleteWhere is our lead detective, Dragon???
ReplyDeleteI liked the Alan Thicke guess since his son (family) is rather embarassing, but the only married co-star that I can think of was Joanna Kerns, and she appears to have divorced her first husband a year before 'Growing Pains' started.....
ReplyDeleteUnknown - I saw that too. If Hasselhof can't figure out costar but maybe not him. Been trying to look at A list tv stars from 70s and 80s and try to find someone with embarrassing family (could be kids, siblings) who is a joke themselves. Haven't been able to find a good fit.
DeleteWhat about David Cassidy/Susan Dey?
ReplyDeleteShe had a kid during the show, divorced a couple years after.
There was some big hair back in the Growing Pains days.
ReplyDelete@Kristin, it was more like four years later so I wouldn't count that. Otherwise I liked your guess!
ReplyDeleteTough part of blind is clue that family is bigger joke/embarrassment than the former A star.(but should really make it easy to guess once you hit on form A list tv actor with one network hit from 70s or 80s)
ReplyDeleteJack Wagner. His hit show being the soap he was on forever. General hospital I think. Remember not too long ago he " found out" he had a daughter and it was in all the papers. She went to a concert of his. I think this happened while heather locklear and him were hooking up.

ReplyDeleteguessing this was from the 80's since that was the era of big hair. Alf is my guess.
ReplyDeleteDon Johnson. Dakota and Melanie are both jokes.
ReplyDeletewarmislandsun - good guess but none of his female costars on Miami vice had kids.
DeleteHere's a list of shows by date. I went through the 80's, late 70s and early 90s, couldn't think of anyone that fit, with regards to family that's an embarrassment. Maybe one of you guys luck.
ReplyDeletehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_television_programs_by_date
^ Maybe one of you guys will have better luck. D'oh!
ReplyDeleteThicke's dad?
ReplyDeleteF word. Already said and debunked.
ReplyDeleteThinking it's a Dynasty/Falcon Crest/Knot's Landing/Dallas kind of show. No time to do the research. I leave it to you fine people.
ReplyDeleteI like Don Johnson. He's been on some shows like Eastbound and Down, but before that all he was ever really known for was Miami Vice. But that was one really famous show. And if you throw in Melanie as family???? Plus, there was a recent blind about him being a skeevy dick.
ReplyDeleteNash Bridges managed to stay on the air for awhile.

ReplyDeleteIt sure does seem like the Hoff but I don't know that his family is a joke.
ReplyDeleteMaybe David Cassidy - he's a mess and his mom's oversharing is a joke.
The clues should make this one easy peasy but it isn't.
Bill Cosby?

ReplyDeleteCOULD BE AN INTER RACIAL HOOK UP? BEING THE DIVORCE HAPPENED SHORTLY AFTER THE BABY WAS DELIVERED, IT COULD HAVE BEEN A BLACK KID TO A WHITE ACTRESS?
ReplyDeleteI DON'T KNOW BARLEYE AND HACKGNAR, MAYBE? INTERESTING...
ReplyDeleteI like the Lorenzo Lamas guess.
ReplyDeleteOMG @TTM THAT MADE ME LOL HARD!
ReplyDeleteDITTO FUNNY TTM.
ReplyDeleteLOL sorry, couldn't resist
ReplyDeleteWHY IS EVERYBODY SHOUTING!?!??!
ReplyDeleteLamas sounds right to me. His dad, Fernando, was a long- running SNL joke and his son fucked his stepmother, Lorenzo's then-wife.
ReplyDeleteLorenzo Lamas and Kristian Alfonso.
ReplyDeleteDexamyl please explain. Lorenzo Lamas is Fernando Lamas son with Arlene Dahl. Just need clarification on who did what to who. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteMelissa, it would totally fit except IMDB says Kristian Alfonso's child born in 1990 is a boy. The blind makes it sound like child is a girl.
ReplyDeleteWayne Rogers with Melinda Naud as the mum.
