In conjunction with our 2007 Fall TV Guide, BuddyTV will be publishing exclusive interviews with the stars of some of the hottest new shows this fall throughout the week. Check back all this week for interviews with the actors and actresses of the new shows.
Jerry Minor is one of those comedians who you'll certainly recognize even if you don't remember the name. Getting his start in the famed Second City of Chicago, his comedic resume includes roles on Mr. Show, The Daily Show, Arrested Development and most notably as a cast member on Saturday Night Live. Now he can be seen on Carpoolers as Aubrey, an uptight working husband who is emasculated at home and who uses his daily carpool to the office as a respite from the constant conflict. Jerry spoke to BuddyTV about his role in the new show, his co-stars, and Jerry O'Connell's wedding. Below you will find the transcript as well as the mp3 audio file of the interview.

In BuddyTV's 2007 Fall TV Guide, we analyzed which great stars are working on shows that aren't worthy of their skill levels. The three to earn that distinction in 2007 are Fred Willard in Back to You, Jerry O'Connell in Carpoolers, and Joshua Malina in Big Shots.
Jerry O'Connell is one of those actors who is just constantly on the verge of busting through the dorky-guy stereotype into serious stardom land. Not that O'Connell isn't well known, but with his range, physique, and recognition he seems capable of making a Brendan Fraser/Will Smith transition into big time movie star material. The problem is that between Stand By Me, Jerry Maguire, Sliders, and Crossing Jordan, you have such career deflating gems as Joe's Apartment, Tom Cats, Kangaroo Jack, and now Carpoolers.
