Just because something seems to be dead, doesn’t mean it’s gone. Just ask Michael Strahan. His comedy series
Brothers may have been dropped from Fox’s 2010 schedule, but—in a year of new beginnings—you never know what’s around the corner.
“I don’t know if we’re going to be back on Fox, but we do have other networks that are interested in doing the show,” Michael Strahan told
TV Guide Magazine at the NAACP Image Awards Nominations Press Conference in Beverly Hills. “It’s just a matter of getting everybody on board to make it happen.”
Meanwhile, Strahan has nothing but brotherly love for his co-star Daryl “Chill” Mitchell who received an “Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series” nomination at the ceremony. “I’m calling Chill immediately,” he said, referencing his co-star who is wheelchair bound both on-screen and in real life. “He’s so funny and he’s such a good guy. The way he lives his life and the situation that’s been put in front of him? You’d never know. He’s such a happy guy. He never feels sorry for himself. It’s encouraging and inspiring for everybody else. I’m happy for him.”
Should the show return, the former NFL football star turned actor already has big ideas for his character. “I would like to have a relationship,” he admitted. “I’d like to do a kissing scene. I’ve never had one of those. Chill got one… I didn’t get one. I’m hurt by that. I think that’s why he got nominated… because he got a kissing scene!”
Who would he like to smooch on-screen? “Where’s Tatyana Ali?” he teased, referencing another NAACP nominee. “I saw her around here earlier. That would be nice.”
One thing he won’t kiss-and-tell about—which networks have been courting the show. “I’m not teasing until it’s a done deal!”
