I mean aside from Alan Alda.

Michael Benjamin Washington (Mamma Mia!, La Cage aux Folles) played a karate-practicing man claiming to be Tracy's illegitmate son.

I was wondering who that actor was! He was very funny.

It can't be a coincidence that he has a Mamma Mia connection.

I watched the episode, and I didn't realize that was him until I saw his name on the credits. Then I recognized him immediately. I had only seen him in La Cage so I didn't recognize him as a man.

You realize all the Mamma Mia talk was product placement for the DVD, now at a New, Lower price in time for Mother's Day!?

Also, NBC is owned by Universal Pictures, which produced and released MAMMA MIA!: The Movie as well as the film's DVD incarnation.

NOTE: Last night's episode was titled MAMMA MIA and the TV spot/commercial during the end credits for the new lower-priced DVD of the film was fully intentional.
