Youtube Flashback: Here's Bryan Cranston in a Carnation Coffeemate Commercial from the 80's


 
Before Breaking Bad, before Malcolm in the Middle, and even before his hilarious guest role as Jerry's dentist on Seinfeld, Bryan Cranston was a "working" actor - meaning he would take pretty much anything offered to him. One such commercial featured him as the "doubter" of Carnation Coffeemate's creamy goodness in this 1988 thirty second TV spot.





I believe I first saw this on The Tonight Show, as Jay Leno loves to dig up old and embarrassing clips from a famous guest's past. Jay also showed an old clip of Cranston's guest role as the villain on the helicopter-based classic Airwolf.   


That white powdery substance isn't instant creamer , is it?

Jon Stewart Takes Summer Vacation From the Daily Show

Oliver's got game


Coach: Oliver! get off the bench! you're in the starting rotation!

(The Daily Show's top British correspondent John Oliver will fill in for Stewart as anchor of the broadcast this summer)

John Oliver: Put me in coach, I'm ready! (puts on football helmet and runs awkwardly out of dugout towards outfield)

(Stewart is taking time off from Comedy Central's flagship program to direct a feature film entitled Rosewater. His hiatus begins June 10th and ends September 3rd)

Coach: OLIVER! THE MOUND IS THIS WAY! 

Coach: Oliver!

(John begins kicking around a soccer ball in the outfield) 

(Oliver's first guest is scheduled to be Seth Rogen. I wonder how Colbert will react to the news of Oliver taking over temporarily? I could see him being frightened/confused and possibly trying to get the British replacement host deported).
