Gossip / TV Portlandia's Special Portland-centric Guest Stars!

Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Wed, Sep 28, 2011 at 1:59 PM

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Portlandia is returning January 9th to IFC—but unlike last year when Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein wouldn't stop hogging the camera, this season promises to prominently feature a slew of deserving and underrated Portland-based actors and entertainers. Such as? Longtime Portland actor and resident, Tim Robbins! Director/actor/Voodoo Doughnut cashier, Penny Marshall! 30 Rock's Jack McBrayer (AKA Storm Large's next door neighbor and vocal coach). Timbers Army member/bicycle activist/OregonLive commenter and Bridesmaids star Kristen Wiig! And Lake Oswego resident Andy Samberg (I know, I know... not technically Portland—but close enough!).
Congrats to all of these unsung Portland talents who will finally get their day in the sun—and a bird on it!

Can we organize some sort of event where we find out where they are filming and throw balloons filled with mayo at them?

I am thrilled to have the chance to participate in this fantastic local project.

Cheers,

I assumed over half of these people lived in NY. So I guess that's what people mean on OPB by saying NYers are obsessed with PDX. THE MORE YOU KNOW.

Also, Joneser is not Tim Robbins. Clearly she's Tom Jones.

And another thing, the entire thought of celebrity OregonLive or Blogtown commenters is really, really strange. It's like they're real people, or something.

I think Humpy is full of it, and you are all willing participants of his ruse.

@10, why would Humpy lie?

Oh. Right. Humpy.

Andy, I have nothing to do with his ruse! And if he says I did, he's a—

Oh, sorry, I thought you said bruise.
