From RAMP: Great Moments In Syndication

• It’s yet another TV feather jammed jauntily into the oversized cap of one of our favorite all-time radio personalities — TRN-syndicated “man of 762-or-so voices” Phil Hendrie (pictured, center, wearing a black shirt), who has landed a recurring role on Fox’s new hit sitcom New Girl starring Zooey Deschanel. Showing actual proof that he was allowed within inches of the cast, Hendrie is pleased to share with us this blurry cell phone picture of him with (l-r) New Girl cast members Max Greenfield, Lamorne Morris, Hannah Simone, Deschanel and Jake Johnson. “The entire cast and crew is so hardworking, gracious and welcoming,” Hendrie said of his new TV pals. “It’s an honor to get to work with them.” In December, we told you Hendrie had taped an episode of one of TV’s best shows, ABC’s Modern Family, where he played the pivotal role of “Boots.” We just received word that Hendrie’s episode airs tomorrow, Feb. 8, at 9pm ET/PT. In his not-so-vast spare time, Hendrie continues to contribute his vocal talents to Fox’s new animated Napoleon Dynamite series and does his Saturday night radio show on KFI-AM/Los Angeles.
