Performance of the Day

Actor: BUSY PHILIPPS

Show: "Cougar Town"

Character: Laurie

Year(s): 2009-present

There's a world of difference between "Cougar Town's" Laurie and "Freaks and Geeks" Kim Kelly, but both are played by talented, hilarious actor Busy Philipps. Philipps has perfected the dumb blonde act, but she adds dry, witty humor. This show is so funny, I highly recommend it.
