Late Laughs
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon: Jimmy Fallon
That’s right, now I live with three females. Or as Obama put it, “Who’s laughing now, funny man?”
Yep, Franny was born in early December, which means that for the next 18 years, Dec. 25 will be
known as “Second Chance to Get it Right With Her Presents Day.”
It’s gonna be so much fun for Winnie to have a little sister. Sharing dresses with her, painting her nails, letting her play with her Barbies. Or as MY big sister put it, “Ah, brings back memories.”
My wife and I couldn’t be happier to be parents for a
second time. While our dog Gary was like, “Wait, am I adopted?” It’s a tough conversation to have. You know you don’t look like the rest of us?
Here’s some news out of North Korea. There are reports that the country has banned all newborn babies from being named Kim Jong Un. Which is why my wife
and I played it safe and went with “Frances Cole.”
South Korea is getting into the holiday spirit. That’s right, they recently announced plans to set up a 30-foot-tall Christmas tree at its border with North Korea. And not to be outdone, North Korea let an elf rule its country.

You have been chopped! Since 2007, those words have been uttered by host and TV personality Ted Allen each time a contestant is eliminated from competition in “Chopped,” the Food Network’s reigning star of cooking competitions.
Since last year, though, someone else has been speaking them, too. “Chopped Canada” could have been, some would say should have been, a disaster. An almost identical carbon copy of the American version, but with an aging actor as host and a far, far smaller pool of potential contestants from which to choose, this “Chopped” from the Great White North sounded like a disaster in the making.
Instead, it ended up being a breath of fresh air. The Dean McDermott-hosted “Chopped Canada” launched its second season on Thursdays on the Food Network here in the U.S. last week, and this season is shaping up to be just as refreshing as the first.
What is it about “Chopped Canada” that makes it so refreshing? It’s hard to say. Structurally, the show is identical to its American parent. Four chefs are given baskets of mys-
tery ingredients, which they must then transform into beautiful dishes for a panel of judges who, one by one, chop the worst-performing chefs from competition.
Perhaps it’s the judges that make the difference. Some of the Canadian judges will be familiar to American foodies — acclaimed Toronto chef Susur Lee, most notably — but the fresh faces and new commentary definitely stand out from the usual rotating “Chopped” crew.
Maybe it’s the host?
Allen has professional training in the culinary arts, and is a wellknown food and wine connoisseur. He’s great for providing up-to-theminute commentary on what techniques the competing chefs are doing, and often has fascinating
facts about some of the more unusual ingredients that they’ve been saddled with.
But McDermott’s only culinary claim to fame before “Chopped Canada” was winning “Rachael vs Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off’s” second season — not necessarily the biggest accomplishment, considering some of the competition.
Still, he’s obviously no slouch when it comes to the kitchen, and when he comes across gaps in his culinary knowledge, he’s not afraid to defer to the judges and their combined decades of expertise.
Whatever it is that makes it feel so fresh, “Chopped Canada” is a surprise treat on the Food Network. Foodies who don’t like “Chopped” probably won’t find much to like here, but to the legions of “Chopped” fans out there, this Canadian spinoff is truly a delight.
“Chopped Canada” airs Thursdays on Food Network.

Cranky cops
Rainn Wilson returns to TV as a self-indulgent genius
By Meagan Sylvester TV Media
With more crime-solving dramas on TV than viewers can count, critics may be asking how writers plan to develop fresh, new ideas in terms of plot and setting — even debating if there’s space for another age-old tale of crime and corruption.
This very question is put to the test as Fox gears up for the crime dramedy “Backstrom,” starring Rainn Wilson (“The Office,” “My Super Ex-Girlfriend,” 2006) as Everett Backstrom, a self-indulgent but brilliant detective who is brought back from exile to run the Portland Police Bureau’s Special Crime Unit. Catch the series premiere Thursday, Jan. 22, on Fox.
Branching into an all-new genre for his second television debut, Wilson is widely known for his Emmy-nominated role as Dwight Schrute, the egotistical and powerhungry snitch on the American version of “The Office” alongside funnyman Steve Carell (“Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues,” 2013). But as the actor said in a 2013 interview with CNN, it was high time the hit mockumentary series came to an end, even if it proves hard for fans to separate Dwight from any upcoming careerdiversifying ventures.
“Maybe I’ll just always be known as Dwight and that’s great, I’m totally fine with that,” Wilson said. “But I’m a good actor and I know there’s a lot of other work out there for me. ... And that’s just how I’m feeling right now. Talk to me tomorrow and I could be pulling my hair out.”
It’s certainly possible “Backstrom” could be Wilson’s answer to stepping outside of Dwight, but it would be too much for the comedy guru to give up the genre all together — making the new series a seemingly perfect fit.
With some fans of the policeoriented genre following along since the days of “Starsky and Hutch” or “Miami Vice,” a niche seems to have formed for what’s now known as “dramedy,” a dynamic mix between both comedy and drama, which viewers might associate with the hit medical se-
dark instincts villains and manipulate those around him, despite his xenophobic and out-of-date sensibilities, or lack thereof.
“You get a lot of humor in watching the most despicable, politically incorrect, spiteful, cynical, crass and self-destructive mess ... being the most brilliant detective you’ve ever seen work,” Wilson said in a behind-the-scenes preview this past May.
Hanson, whose resume includes creating another Fox hit series, “Bones,” as well as writing credits on “Road to Avonlea,” “Stargate SG-1” and “Judging Amy,” says the lead detective continues to stay at the top of his game due to his pessimistic and cynical view on life, when others tend to stray away from that kind of mentality. “The fact that he sees the worst in people gives him a little bit of an edge in a career where seeing the worst in people is probably the best way to be a good detective,” said Hanson in the same behind-thescenes interview.
Other characters include his dayto-day colleague Nicole Gravely (Genevieve Angelson, “House of Lies”), who sets out to counterbal-
ance — without much success — Backstrom’s erratic and controversial attitude within the field. By her side is Det. Sgt. John Almond (Dennis Haysbert, “24,” “The Unit”), a hardened veteran of the bureau who, unlike his wicked colleague, tends to see the light in people; that is, until he meets Backstrom.
While the series is new to Fox, “Backstrom” is loosely based on the Swedish book series of the same name by Stockholm-based author Leif G.W. Persson, a former professor of criminology at the Swedish National Police Board. Like the show’s main character, Persson also faced professional defamation while on the job. Bouncing back from a scandal in the 1970s involving an alleged prostitution ring, Persson would go on to lecture at Stockholm University and win the Best Swedish Crime Novel Award on three separate occasions.
The hour-long series has been slated for 13 episodes, with the hopes of making a name for itself within the immensely popular crime-solving genre on prime-time television. Catch Rainn Wilson’s second television debut when “Backstrom” airs Thursday, Jan. 22, on Fox.
