Television Critics Association Day Two: Jon Hamm is hot, John Rich is not and more!
by Michael Jensen

Next was Country Western singer John Rich of the duo "Big and Rich". You might remember Rich for some of his homophobic comments regarding how legalizing gay marriage will lead to legalizing incest. Classy. Just the kind of guy I want to see on television. He's here promoting the second installment of his CMT show Gone Country, a reality program that takes a variety of celebrities and pits them against each other to see who might be able to become a country singer. Included on the panel were Sean Young, Lorenzo Lamas and former N'Syncer Chris Kirkpatrick.

Chatting with Chris afterward, he said that he was certain that N'Sync would eventually get back together for a reunion tour. He'd seen Lance Bass just the night before and said he was doing great. I asked if he thought Lance would be a good candidate for Season 3 of Gone Country, but Chris didn't think that would be such a good idea since Lance wasn't really a country singer. Given what a hard time Rich gives Chris in the show for coming from a boy band, I'd say Lance should definitely avoid this one (not to mention the whole gay thing).
