My TCM guest spot: Who wants to stay up 'til 2 a.m.?

Here I am with the wonderful Robert Osborne on TCM's set. The network will screen one of my favorite films, 'A Woman Under the Influence,' in April.

For the last few weeks I've been telling you about Turner Classic Movies' upcoming slate of guest programmers — particularly because I'm one of them!

This week the network revealed all 20 fans chosen to appear alongside host Robert Osborne. From April 7-11 the channel will air fan-selected movies along with special introductions (and outros) that we filmed in the studio.

The lineup includes a ton of must-see classics, like The Naked City, A Face in the Crowd, A Man Called Adam and The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. I selected John Cassavetes' arresting 1974 drama, A Woman Under the Influence, partly because I don't often come across it on TV.

Unfortunately, if you wanna see me live, you'll have to pull an all-nighter: My movie isn't airing until 1:45 a.m.! (I can't say I'm surprised by the late-night time slot, since it's not really a family-friendly film.)

Here's the full schedule. I'll share more about the experience closer to the air date.

Here's a shot of all 20 guest programmers for Turner Classic Movies. The fan-selected films will air April 7-11.
