While the entertainment industry is still reeling from the loss of pop culture icon Larry Hagman, fans will have a chance to see the "Dallas" star on the CBS special "I Get That A Lot," which features celebrities attempting to prank ordinary people by pretending to be somebody else.
Above, HuffPost TV has an exclusive clip of Hagman's posthumous appearance on the special (Wednesday, Jan. 9 at 8 p.m. Est on CBS). Hagman's segment was shot in September 2012 at a Santa Clara, California membership warehouse shopping club, where he posed as a salesman offering shoppers free samples -- although as you'll see in the clip, the star might've been a little too iconic to fool some targets.
“Larry was amazing to work with,” said Executive Producer Eric Schotz in a statement. “I think what people didn't know about Larry Hagman is that he was a prankster at heart. He loved the...

The death of Larry Hagman last November at age 81 robbed the world of an acting icon and producers of TNT's Dallas update of a star. Hagman shot six of 15 upcoming Dallas episodes, requiring producers to rework the show's second season, debuting Jan. 28. But he also found time to squeeze in one last performance before his death -- playing himself, sort of. Hagman was featured in an episode of I Get That a Lot, CBS's reality prank show in which celebrities are filmed doing some kind of menial job, and the public either recognizes them or doesn't. In this case, Hagman plays

We have been fans of Lifetime's "Seriously Funny Kids" since it presented the show at the Winter Press tour. An adult show that brings out the natural hilarity of kids using a wide array of interviews, hidden camera skits and strange predicaments would stand on its own. But, what really takes it up another notch is its host, "Project Runway's" Heidi Klum.
"I did a show called, 'I Get That A Lot," and Heidi was on the show," "Seriously Funny Kids" creator and executive producer Eric Schotz tells Zap2it. "We had her working in a pizza parlor. And her comic instincts were amazing. She's hilarious and took great direction and added tremendous amounts to the piece."
Schotz, who also worked on late-90s hit, "Kids Say the Darndest Things," was developing an idea for the next generation of that show. So after working with Klum, he thought...

Well another season of Dexter has now come and gone. Although I’ve read mixed reviews about this season I have to say that I was really entertained by it. I’m also going to not hold anything back in talking about it so if you haven’t seen it yet and plan to then be forewarned that there be spoilers abound in these waters.

I got to be someone I am normally not. I was quite rude to people. I would bite their pizza and give it to them. I would drop the dough on the floor, pick it up and use it," the "Project Runway" host continues. ...
