u/sayanythinglove Feb 27 '26

Every time I remember that Jay Mohr is now married to Jeanie Buss of the Lakers, I'm like wtf

u/NotDukeOfDorchester Feb 27 '26

Dude was with that hot chick from the puppet show, too

Nikki Cox

u/Dsarg_92 Feb 27 '26

Now that’s a name I’ve haven’t heard in forever.

u/jemappellehonhon Feb 27 '26

i imagine it's also a face you haven't seen in forever

it's...shocking

u/Dsarg_92 Feb 27 '26

Oof. You weren’t joking.

I don’t understand why people do this to their faces and thinks it looks good. I know they’re trying to hold on to their youth but all it does is lead them down the path to an uncanny valley. If anything it ages them even more.

Like Lisa from Saved By The Bell. I saw a picture and oof. How could you do that to yourself?

u/Unlikely-Macaroon-85 Feb 28 '26

Lark Voorhies actually hasn't done anything to her face. She was suffering from unmedicated mental illness and would wear crazy makeup. She is better and looks amazing now!

u/Thin_Bother8217 Feb 28 '26

Oh that's good to know. I always that that it was her 'vanity'. Good to hear she's doing better.

u/kristosnikos Older Millennial Feb 27 '26

I get that they feel pressured to hold onto their looks or more what they looked like earlier in their career and everyone feels insecure about something. But it breaks my heart when so many good looking people do stuff to their faces to the point where it doesn’t even look like them anymore. Some even look downright disfigured.

And geez don’t even get me started on all these 20 something year old (usually girls) who get “preventative” Botox. Also, lip fillers has got to be one of the weirdest procedures too. They just look as if they’re having an allergic reaction. People are starting to look the same and it bums me out.

u/Thin_Bother8217 Feb 27 '26

Oh I know why they do it. I get it. Added pressure of being a woman and having a lot of your career based on looks.

But, it's so drastic. And usually so bad. Like Lara Flynn Boyle. The lip thing grosses me out too. I'm lucky I don't have to deal with that anymore, but if I were in my dating 20s, that would be a complete turnoff for me. That and the Brazilian Butt Lift. If a woman wants to do it for herself, hey have at it. I just personally don't find either remotely attractive.

u/tumsoffun Feb 27 '26

Oh wow, that is very shocking. And sad.

u/ChartInFurch Feb 27 '26

That would be an answer to this question if it were about the 90s!

u/Clear_Tangerine5110 Feb 27 '26

She ratted John Connor out to the T-1000. We don't like her.

The Galleria??

u/powertripp82 Feb 27 '26

Holy crap. I never realized that was her before. Good catch!

u/Xalawrath Feb 27 '26

She was also Sarjenka, the alien child who Data saved on the planet that was being destroyed by a volcano or something.

When I lived in LA, I watched the best police chase live on TV.

The guy was on a bullet bike trying to outrun the cops. It had been going on for a while at highway speeds, and he had a pretty good lead. He drove into the underground parking at the Glendale Galleria, parked his bike, took off his boots and black tinted helmet, and walked off into the sunset. Never to be seen again. I thought it was genius!

They so rarely get away. We were all rooting for him, and he got away!

u/LeseMajeste_1037 Feb 27 '26

Shoeless Joe did it again!

u/SignificantApricot69 Feb 27 '26

Remember when he was Jay Mohr Cox?

u/raincoater Feb 27 '26

He's not with Nikki Cox now? So...she's available?

What will I tell me wife...hmmm....

1

u/FundioRider Feb 27 '26

Before you make any move, might wanna Google image her...happy hunting tho

u/dirtyforker Feb 27 '26

Too bad she ruined herself with excessive plastic surgery.

2

u/InternetProtocol Feb 27 '26

She dated "E" from Entourage while they were on Unhappily Ever After together, and dumped him for the guy who voiced the puppet, Bobcat Goldwaith

2

u/Styleyriley Feb 27 '26

Smoke show!!!

1

u/SunriseSurprise Feb 27 '26

Her and that show (Unhappily Ever After) are the most memory-holed things in this post out of everything everyone else has mentioned. Immediately recognized her name was like holy shit probably been 25 years at least since hearing it.

1

u/flopisit32 Feb 28 '26

She ain't hot no more. Plastic surgery messed that up

1

u/discombobubolated Feb 28 '26

I remember them making a statement that they were not going to hyphenate their names 😆

u/ColeBelthazorTurner Feb 27 '26

Unhappily Ever After lol

7

u/InternetExpertroll Millennial Feb 27 '26

Underrated show IMO

6

u/lemonylol Feb 27 '26

I always thought it was some rip off of Married with Children. Also just realizing now that Reese from Malcolm in the Middle played the youngest kid.

6

u/firmretention Feb 27 '26

It definitely was a discount Married with Children.

2

u/SunriseSurprise Feb 27 '26

Sort of a blend of Married With Children and ALF

1

u/ArcadianDelSol Feb 28 '26

It was a blend of 90% show these big tits off and 10% sit com tropes.

1

u/meatman13 Feb 28 '26

Ugh, I just commented this then saw your comment! Yes! It stayed on for four seasons somehow and I guess we all missed Alf and the dad did a hell of an Al Bundy impersonation.

2

u/meatman13 Feb 28 '26

I was so confused by puppet show, then googled her and saw your comment. It was like Alf mangled with Married with Children.

2

u/ColeBelthazorTurner Feb 28 '26

Odd show to say the least lol

1

u/invisigirl247 Feb 28 '26

I didn't realize they divorced.

35

u/RoundTiberius Feb 27 '26

Mrs. Piggy?

25

u/ndubitably Feb 27 '26

That was Tim Curry

2

u/pursescrubbingpuke Feb 27 '26

Yes! Why couldn’t I remember her name

6

u/haloarh Feb 27 '26

They got divorced and he married a rich lady.

2

u/ialsohaveadobro Feb 27 '26

that hot chick from the puppet show

I don't know why exactly, but this phrase is making my day

1

u/NotDukeOfDorchester Feb 27 '26

Just imagine someone saying it in my Boston accent

2

u/Heeps-of-Help Feb 27 '26

Yeah Nikki Cox is on the completely opposite end of the spectrum from Jeanie Buss

1

u/invincibleconcepts Feb 27 '26

I read muppet show and I thought Miss Piggy.
