LL Cool J Is Spitting Truth Like Hot Fire About His New TV Show

thumbnail icon: LL Cool J Is Spitting Truth Like Hot Fire About His New TV Show

This fall, CBS is launching NCIS: Los Angeles, a spin-off series from NCIS, whatever that is. It's basically the golden rule of television: anything that can be done well, can also be done in another city on Tuesday nights at 9/8 Central. Anyway, the show stars Chris O'Donnell (naturally. When you look at him you just think "COP!". Also, I am just assuming that NCIS is about cops? I have no idea what NCIS is) and also LL Cool J. Obviously, LL Cool J brings something special to the table, which is his unique experience as both a hip hop artist, and someone who stopped being taken seriously as a hip hop artist years ago. That's how he is able to make a music video for his new song, "No Crew Is Superior" (Get it? You get it) with a straight face (the straightest face in the game!).

Ha ha. Oh, LL Cool J. You are like a grandpa! Everything that you do is cute and charming, no matter how silly or outdated it may seem. "When they cast me on NCIS: Los Angeles, I just had to get into the studio and do what I do. Y'HEARD." Write what you know, I guess. And what LL Cool J knows is that he is going to be on NCIS: Los Angeles, premiering on CBS, September 22.

Back in high school, I was known as LL Cool L: "Ladies Love Cool Lutefisk." Yeah it didn't make any sense back then either.

I hope there's a very special guest episode with the Fresh Prince of Bel Aire.

It looks like they recruited the fashion designer, Edna 'E' Mode, from the Incredibles as well (0:40). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edna_Mode

for a pop culture guru, and a bunch of pop culture geeks, i'm severely dissappointed in the lack of "going back to cali" jokes here.

(i don't think so)

I hope he plays the wise cracking sidekick to Chris O'Donnell's serious cop. O'Donnell: "It looks like the child was suffocated by his mother..." Cool J: "Mama said knock you out!!" O'Donnell: "Exactly."

I think it's Naval Criminal Investigation Service (somewhere in the neighborhood). Please don't judge me. I have the jones for Mark Harmon because, you know, Summer School.

I always assumed it was the same as CSI, but you say its about the NAVY? So it's like JAG? I think that was about lawyers on a battleship though....so maybe not. I also think i read somewhere about this new show that Chris O'Donnell plays a "master of disguise" but can't remember if i actually read that or just thought it when I saw an ad for it on TV, so don't hold me to it. None of these shows I'm comparing it to have I ever seen anyway, so I guess this is all just wild speculation. I did catch the last 5 minutes of the season finale of NCIS: Whatever City the Orginial Version is Set In though, and seems that (SPOILER!) the next season will be called NCIS: The Middle East. Is this the show with that goth girl?
