James Roday and Dule Hill kick off new season of Psych

Are the Psych-o’s and soon-to-be Psych-o’s ready for an all new season of pineapples, silly nicknames, and fabulous guest stars?! The Bromantic duo of James Roday and Dule Hill walked the green carpet at the “Psych” Season 6 premiere held at Ziegfeld Theatre on Thursday, October 6th, 2011 in New York City. Joining them at this fabulous event were co-stars Maggie Lawson, Kirsten Nelson, Corbin Bernsen and Timothy Omundson plus guest stars Phylicia Rashad and Ally Sheedy.

I had the pleasure to catch up with James and Dule earlier this week to talk about all the fun stuff coming up this season and what they have going on while they are on hiatus. They also talk about the HUGE guest stars making appearances including Joey Mcintyre from New Kids on the Block, Malcolm McDowell and William Shatner.

Poor Dule was suffering with a cold so we thank him especially for making the extra effort to talk to us. I hope you are feeling better!

So without further ado, here are some excerpts from our interview:

To kick off our chat, I had to make reference to the Psych-out that was released earlier this week showing James and Dule doing the pendulum dance with NKOTB’er Joe McIntyre! Yep, the guys had “The Right Stuff” and I wanted to know what the chances were that the remaining members of High Top Fade Out would ever team up with Jordan Knight, Donny Wahlberg, Danny Wood, and Jonathan Knight for a New Kids on the Block blow-out episode!

Dule Hill: It would be a fun Psych-Out. I don’t know if that’ll ever happen; that’s a lot to ask. I think we can maybe work it out where we can get some members of High Top Fade Out, our (Quarterblack), and a member of New Kids on the Block all in one season. I think we can make that happen this year.

For my fellow Block-heads, here are more details on the Joey Mac episode:

James Roday: That was our Superhero episode. There’s like a vigilante superhero like combing the streets of Santa Barbara, cleaning them up one bad guy at a time. And it may or may not be Joey, we don’t know.

When I asked you guys on Twitter what you wanted to know about the guys, @jvento wanted to know what James Roday would be doing during hiatus. While I did ask him, he preferred to give his co-star a shout-out and talk about his upcoming Broadway return!

James Roday: Well if Dule will allow me to sing his praises, he will be appearing on Broadway in New York, starting in December, in a play called Stick Fly opposite Mekhi Phifer and Ruben Santiago-Hudson and a trio of wonderfully rich Broadway stage actresses that everyone should make a point to circle in their calendars and get to New York to see the man on stage.

Dule Hill: It should be a good time. And it’s produced by Alicia Keys, who I just found out is doing the music for the play. So you know, even if we are terrible the music will be good.

Tune in to an all new season of Psych on Wednesday, October 12th at 10/9 central only on USA Network.

“Say zoinks!” Psych “In Plain Fright” review


Psych kicked off with our new-finally-official couple making their way to the holding cells for a little alone time. Because of Shawn (James Roday) outing Lassiter’s relationship with his previous partner, resulting in her being transferred from the department, their romance must be kept on the down low.

“No touching in the police station.”

She surprises him with two tickets for “Scare Fest” for the next night. The only problem? He already has plans to go with Gus (Dule Hill). Shawn tells her that he’d rather go with her –– but after some tears on his best friend’s part, he decides he can’t disappoint him.

Unfortunately, Shawn and Gus get more than they [Read more...]

Psych stars laugh it up at the Paley Center

Actors Timothy Omundson, Dule Hill, Kirsten Nelson, Maggie Lawson and James Roday attended The Paley presentation of “Psych” at The Paley Center for Media on April 22, 2010 in Beverly Hills, California. Even though I don’t see any pictures of him, the shows creator Steve Franks was also in attendance and even joked about how tall he is! (He is 6’8″ !!)

Many fans will be stoked to see our beloved Roday sans his beard/mustache but I really can’t choose a favorite look, it is RODAY afterall!

My favorite comment of the night was when James revealed what Shawn’s five year plan is.
