The ‘instafame’ game
on social networking sites, and she thrives on the attention and “instafame.” After an unfortunate mishap on an airplane, Eliza realizes she needs a bit (read: a ton!) of help to update her image and get over the cringe-worthy embarrassment.
Enter Henry Higenbottam. He’s a workaholic, marketing self-image guru who despises everything to do with social networking and the people who rely too much on tech connectivity to live. The character, played by Cho, decides to lend his rebranding expertise to Eliza so that she understands there’s more to life than just Instagram, Candy Crush Saga and Twitter.
“’Selfie’ holds the most promise out of any half-hour comedy this fall, thanks to some genius casting — John Cho and Karen Gillan are spot on — and of course the writing stylings of ‘Suburgatory’s’ Emily Kapnek,” said “E! Online” TV Scoop reviewer Kristin Dos Santos.
“It’s a premise that should not work,” added fellow TV Scoop writer Tierney Bricker, “yet [it] totally does, thanks to Cho and Gillan’s chemistry and the writing, with almost every single joke landing.”
As Bricker mentioned, it seems like “Selfie” shouldn’t work as a TV show, especially since it’s a storyline that’s been done before both on screen and on stage — and with great success. The 1964 movie musical version of “My Fair Lady” starring Audrey Hepburn (“Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” 1961) and Rex Harrison (“Doctor Dolittle,” 1967) took home eight Academy Awards. The 1956 Broadway musical the movie is based on starring Harrison and Julie Andrews (“The Sound of Music,” 1965) won six Tony Awards, including Best Musical.
Like both Dos Santos and Bricker stated, however, the writing crew behind “Selfie” is sure to give it a positive, humorous spin that will ultimately cement its own separate identity.
Emily Kapnek (“Suburgatory,” “As Told by Ginger”) has been writing and producing for television since the late-’90s. Her animated teen comedy “As Told by Ginger” ran for three seasons and netted three Emmy nominations for Outstanding Animated Program (Less than One Hour). The recently canceled “Suburgatory” was widely well received and brought in an average of 5.5 million viewers for its final season on
ABC. Without skipping a beat, Kapnek is back with ABC, and it looks like “Selfie” could be yet another success for her.
Of course, no show is complete without its cast of characters, and along with Cho and Gillan, there’s a funny bunch at work. Known for Showtime’s “Homeland,” David Harewood is stepping into comedy as the intimidating, but loveable, boss of the marketing firm. Allyn Rachel (“Million Dollar Arm,” 2014) stars as Bryn, Eliza’s nerdy neighbor who runs the building book club with Wren (Colleen Smith, “No, You Shut Up!”) and Eyelet (Amanda Jane Cooper, “Smart People,” 2008). Da’Vine Joy Randolph (“The Angriest Man in Brooklyn,” 2014) plays the sassy secretary at the office, and she leaves a lasting impression for being on screen so little.
ABC is tackling a new comedy project this fall, and “Selfie” sure looks like it could be a big hit. With the indelible charm and chemistry between Karen Gillan and John Cho, this modern take on “My Fair Lady” looks to carve out its own place in comedy and become “Instafamous.” Catch the season premiere of “Selfie,” airing Tuesday, Sept. 30, on ABC.

It’s rumored that next week the new iPhone is going to come out. It’s going to come with a larger screen, more memory and it can leak celebrity photos twice as fast.
The man who released the nude photos of celebrities has admitted he’s on the run.
However, he has been given asylum by a shadowy group known only as “Guys.”
Over the weekend, the White House chef married an MSNBC news anchor. Or as Fox News reported it, “Person Who Serves the President Marries Person Who Serves the President.”
This week, “60 Minutes” aired an investigation on how to live past 90. The
study was conducted by investigating people who’ve hosted “60 Minutes.”
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon: Jimmy Fallon
In a new interview, Beyoncé’s father, Mathew Knowles, said that Jay-Z’s elevator fight with her sister was staged to help boost publicity. People
were shocked. They were like, “Beyoncé and Solange’s father is named MATHEW??” You think it would be, like, Starship or something.
Some big TV news. ABC just announced that Rosie Perez will join Rosie O’Donnell and Whoopi Goldberg as the new co-host of “The View.” Which explains the show’s new sponsor: Bose noisecancelling headphones.

How many times have you sat on the couch watching your favorite show featuring amateur home cooks — whether it be Fox’s “MasterChef,” ABC’s “The Taste” or any of the many others on the menu — and longed (and I mean really longed) to try out some of the beautiful dishes being served up?
Just how torturous is it to watch Gordon Ramsay gush about the party going on in his mouth, to listen to Anthony Bourdain wax on about the succulent aromas assaulting his nose, while all that we poor, suffering TV watchers get is a brightly lit view of the dish in question? Why, I say it’s high time we foodies rose up and demanded that we, too, should get to taste these supposedly amazing foods.
Well, lucky for us, two famous folks are on our side. Ty Pennington of “Trading Spaces” and “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” fame and Chef Emeril Lagasse, host of “Emeril’s Florida” and “Top Chef” judge, are teaming up with TNT to bring a tasty new twist to the genre — a twist that we can all sink our teeth into.
“On the Menu,” which premieres Friday, Oct. 3, on TNT, is the first cooking competition show that lets us, the viewers, taste the winning dishes after each and every episode. Much like many of these cooking competitions, each episode will feature four passionate home cooks cooking their way through a series of culinary challenges, all with the end goal of getting featured in a national eatery.
How’s that work? Well, 10 restaurant chains have signed on to be featured on the program, and
each weekly episode will focus on one of them. That week’s contestants will have to develop their own signature dish that will feel right at home in that restaurant, and the winning dish will be featured in that eatery’s menu across the nation.
Hungry viewers won’t even have to wait to try out the winning plates either — they’ll be popping up on the menus the very day after their featured episode airs.
For far too long, cooking shows have taunted us viewers with their picture-perfect dishes and gushing judges. “On the Menu” won’t be any different in that regard, but at least we’ll get to see — and taste — what all the fuss is about. “On the Menu” premieres Friday, Oct. 3, on TNT.
