Cover Story
Checking in: NBC introduces new hospital comedy ‘St. Denis Medical’
department doctor and Allison Tolman (“Fargo”) as a supervising nurse. Also featured are Josh Lawson (“House of Lies”), Mekki Leeper (“Jury Duty”), Kahyun Kim (“Cocaine Bear,” 2023) and “Superstore” alum Kaliko Kauahi.
For McLendon-Covey, who also went the mockumentary route in Comedy Central’s “Reno 911!,” that strategy fits what she desired in and from a series after playing family matriarch Beverly Goldberg for a decade in ABC’s “The Goldbergs.”
“All I wanted was to not play another mom right away,” she says. “I think it’s well documented that I can play moms, and with respect to all moms everywhere, what I loved about this character is that she is not nurturing at all. Don’t come near her wanting a hug.
“She does not want your germs, and she cannot keep a plant alive, but she is devoted to this hospital. That’s her baby, and this is her whole personality. The fact that this came along right at the tail end of ‘The Goldbergs,’ I’m
the luckiest person in the world. I was not being strategic necessarily. I just knew I didn’t want to be [playing someone] in the ‘80s again, and this was just such a gift.”
Fellow “St. Denis Medical” star Grier maintains that he was also reasonably flexible in returning to series work.
“My goal is always to say ‘Yes’ to a good script,” he reasons. “It just happened that I was [going to play] a doctor. There are some characters that you read and you think, ‘I can reach that or get to that.’ This guy, he’s an old curmudgeon. That’s me. It wasn’t the medical stuff; that was incidental. I just responded to the script, and — and I say this begrudgingly — it was good. It was well written. It was intelligent.”
A Primetime Emmy nominee for the first season of FX’s “Fargo,” Tolman has earned acclaim for offbeat projects that also have included ABC’s “Downward Dog” and the Paramount+ (then-CBS All Access) series “Why Women Kill.” She believes
“St. Denis Medical” extends that tradition for her.
“I find something really charming about the mundane in the most extreme circumstances,” she reflects. “Everyone who is visiting the hospital is in extreme circumstances, but as extreme as they are, they’re not extreme for [the staff]. It’s just another day, and someone has a day off [or it’s] somebody’s birthday, and I find that really charming. Every episode has a moment where that sort of sincerity and that heartfelt core shine through. I think we’re really lucky in that way.”
Though he and Spitzer were working on another series concept, Ledgin claims that once “St. Denis Medical” entered their thought process, they were all in on it. “It was very exciting to start talking about it,” recalls Ledgin, “and to see how all these charac ters and even story ideas just were kind of spilling out of us early on, which is just the best test — [something] coming easy. That’s a good thing.”

‘Beverly Hills Cop II’ showcases others besides Eddie Murphy
When the sequel “Beverly Hills Cop II” was released in 1987, it was primarily a showcase for Eddie Murphy, who was enjoying a reign as one of the top box-office stars of the time. Years later, though, it can be appreciated for how it also serviced other cast members — as it will do again when Paramount+ With Showtime shows the Tony Scott-directed action-comedy Wednesday, Nov. 13.
One of those performers is the recently deceased John Ashton, who had many good moments in reprising the role of Sgt. John Taggart, a largely by-the-book associate of maverick visitor Axel Foley (Murphy). A major example is a somewhat garishly dressed Taggart agreeing to pretend he is President Gerald Ford as he, Foley and fellow detective Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) pursue a criminal gang. Also worth noting is one of Taggart’s last scenes, in which he punctuates his rescue of another major character with a single-word quip.
“Emergency!” (Cozi TV, Mondays through Fridays): Before paramedics became regular characters on series television, John Gage and Roy DeSoto — played respectively by Randolph Mantooth and Kevin Tighe — were two of the first to do the job on the home
