Moonlighting The Podcast Grace Chivell & Shawna Saari

Like Grace and Shawna, Actor Jerry O’Connell has been a devoted Moonlighting Fan from the beginning. In this episode, he shares his memories of being a teenager watching Moonlighting and the effect it has had on his life since. But first a little bit about Jerry.
He began his acting career at a very young age. He was featured in some commercial and TV work. But he got his big break in 1986, when at the ripe old age of 12, he played the role of "Vern Tessio" in the popular film Stand by Me, opposite River Phoenix and Corey Feldman.
After that, he worked on many TV-Movies and TV series, one of them being, a starring role in My Secret Identity from 1988 to 1991.
In 1993, he starred in Calendar Girl opposite Jason Priestley.
And, how can we forget when back in 1996 Jerry landed the role of the superstar quarterback, ”Frank Cushman" in the successful film Jerry McGuire opposite Tom Cruise? 
In 1999 he played Mariah Carey’s boyfriend in her music video “Heartbreaker”. The best part, by the way, is when she poured coke in his lap!
From 1995-1999 he starred in the TV Series Sliders. In 1997 he starred in Scream 2, and in 1999 he starred in the film Body Shots.
He has also appeared in movies such as:
Tomcats (2001), 
Buying the Cow (2002), 
Kangaroo Jack (2003), Yours, Mine & Ours (2005), 
Man About Town (2006) and 
Room 6 (2006). 
He starred in 88 episodes of Crossing Jordan from 2002 to 2007
If you’re a fan of The Big Bang Theory, you will know that Jerry starred in three episodes as George Cooper Jr. Or should we say “Georgie.”
More recently he was the voice of Commander Jack Ransom in Star Trek: Lower Decks
And, he is currently a Co-Host on the CBS Daytime talk show, “The Talk”
Not only is he a talented actor, but he is also a producer, writer and director.
Jerry, thank you for sharing your memories of Moonlighting, on Moonlighting The Podcast!

SYNOPSIS:
When Maddie does not react after walking in on a strip poker game David is playing with the employees, he realizes that there is something wrong. After some coaxing, Maddie confides in David that she has been having urges lately to go out “find a man and be bad.” For obvious reasons, he is extremely worried about her, so he decides to follow her.
Later, a woman steals Maddie’s coat and hat in the ladies' room, and David mistakenly follows the wrong woman from a club. After a crazy turn of events, David is implicated in a murder. While he is in police custody, David comes to the realization that he is in love with Maddie. Once he is released from jail, some cops drive him over to Maddie's house at four o'clock in the morning. It's a rainy night when he shows up at her doorstep. He rings the bell and knocks on the door yelling her name, but he gets the surprise of his life when he sees who answers the door.

SYNOPSIS:
Maddie and David have decided to give Herbert Viola more responsibility by putting him in charge of more cases. Agnes is not happy to hear this, as he has been at Blue Moon for only two and a half months and she has worked for Maddie and David for five years. A very feisty Agnes goes to Maddie’s office and tells them both that in those five years, she’s had only one day off and has been late just three times, only one of which was her fault. She has also taken pay cuts in bad times and has never asked for a raise. Maddie and David try to weasel their way out of it by downplaying Herbert’s role.
Margaret Renbourn arrives at Blue Moon to hire the detectives to find proof that her house is haunted. Unbelievably, Maddie and David agree that they should not take this case. Upon hearing this, and without informing her bosses, Agnes decides to take the case on her own. Bert tells Agnes that he didn't just fall off a turnip truck and that he knows what she is up to. Agnes and Bert end up joining forces and solve the case.
