...native Canadian navigated a long, winding path to fame: from playing music in Toronto strip clubs to joining the original Saturday Night Live band and cast in the '70s - and along the way co-composing the Weather Girls' hit "It's Raining Men" and starring in a short-lived sitcom. His memoir, We'll Be Here the Rest of Our Lives, is chock-full of tales from the 59-year-old's show-business days. Shaffer spoke with TIME about being a struggling musician, the perils of late-night TV and why he can't discuss Letterman's personal life...
...climb the hosting rope in record time, from emceeing the TV Land awards in April to the Tonys in June to the Emmys on Sept. 20. He's up for his own Emmy this year for his role as an over-the-top straight guy in the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother. And he has parodied this image of suit-wearing cockiness by playing a hypermasculine version of himself in the Harold & Kumar movies.

Maybe Elliot's mother really was a screaming, tightfisted tyrant, and his father the standard henpecked husband. And maybe Lee couldn't find American actors who'd fit his view of these cartoon creatures. But to outfit Staunton in a housedress that is gargantuanly padded in the bosom and butt is to force an exceptional actress into unintended parody, and to reduce the Holocaust-survivors generation to Borscht Belt jokes. Staunton has made a long...
...lectures once in a while, but don’t fret, your professors (if you meet them) will all be extraordinary in one way or another. Your Ec10 TF might have a recurring role on “Om sarac, om bogat,” that sidesplitting sitcom out of Bucharest. Too bad you’ll never know it, since she only speaks Romanian...
