UGH! I wish I lived in the city. I saw Gad in the show last Summer, but didn't get to meet him afterwards.

Ugh, sorry about the triple post.

Weird that their tweet doesn't mention he'll be calling names, just that he'll be there (though I guess one could assume that).

Welcome to Rapp and Pascal-ville Mr. Gad.
Did anyone go? I saw pictures on Twitter, but I didn't know if it was a huge to-do or just simply him pulling the lotto.
if his show gets canceled, might he return to BOM??
That tv show is a turkey. Anything with Jenna Elfman is a turkey. But Mr Gad will get more work.

Guys, he was just calling out the lotto, not re-joining the cast. Even if 1600 Penn gets cancelled, he'll definitely find more work. Critics and audiences who have downright loathed the show have all praised his performance.
It sounds like he was already in NYC for some other reason, so maybe BoM asked him to come by. As dire a Cunningham that Jon Bass is, there's probably nothing to read into this.

Did you read the same reviews I did? Everything I read said he was the problem.
The reviews I read mostly found him unbearable. He needs a new direction-for real.
I haven't been a fan of his since seeing him in SPELLING BEE. I feel like he's trying to be the next Chris Farley and just always too on.

1600 Penn already has been canceled. But he'll be fine. He created it. He'll create another one.

^Has it, really? Man. I love Josh and I'm sorry to hear that. It was a terrible show, though.
You're sorry to hear that a terrible show has been cancelled?

I'm sorry to hear Josh is without work. Forgive my poor wording.
I'm just glad to get that no talent Jenna Elfman off of my tv!!!!!
I really don't why I don't like her but I have a strong negative reaction to her. Josh was quite annoying in the show which was fairly unwatchable but so great in the original Book of Mormon. He really needs to learn not to push so much; it makes him unlikable.
What was so great about his character in Mormon is that he was so naive and clueless as to why people reacted to him as he does. Knowing he is annoying and not caring doesn't work. It's a fine line I hope he finds it.
