This Week’s Meat

[National Enquirer] Actress Delta Burke blasted a TV star who invited the future Designing Woman star to his trailer while she filmed a guest spot.

The next thing I know is that he’s got this whole affair planned… He said I was this week’s meat. He was very, very persistent.

And after she brushed him off, Delta said,

I was very much snubbed by the other crew members – because they wanted to keep the star happy!

  1. Richard Dawson, 1980’s Family Feud MC.
    He was always giving wet kisses (maybe tongue too) on live tv– and no one said boo–even the husbands let that man kiss their wives. Gross! Behind closed doors, Dawson looks like he would call women “meat”.

    Optional: Brad Pitt as Tristan from Legends From the Fall. If he called me meat I would swoon at first–and say then “what?…. Hell no!”.

  7. William Shatner T.J. Hooker Always came off as a sleaze with his wig and girdle…

  8. Star: Pierce Brosnan

    Remington Steele

    Clue: affair (Brosnan was in Thomas Crowne Affair)

  10. William Shatner – TJ Hooker

    or

    Tony Danza – Who’s the Boss

    or

    James Brolin – Hotel

  11. She did a few guest shots before Designing Women…could have been Stacy Keach, William Shatner, or even Pierce Brosnan.
    The only one I can see using the “this week’s meat” line would be Keach though.

    • Pierce Brosnan would be my last guess. He was so in love with his first wife, Cassandra Harris, and was pretty shook up by her death. I think he’s equally smitten with his current wife too. The New York Post just had a article about them a week or so ago.

  13. William Shatner on TJ Hooker?

    If my favorite actor treated me like that, I would definitely never watch anything with him again. Anything else I’d want to do would be against the law.

  14. Lee Majors? “The Fall Guy”
    She guest starred before “Designing Women” aired

  17. No idea, so just going to make a random guess based on what shows she made one guest appearance on and go with Dick Van Dyke in Diagnosis: Murder.

    • Diagnosis Murder was from 1996 this pig was pre Designing Women 1987 or so (which I loved). I’m going with Simon & Simon she did one guest spot and just before DW. She also met her husband (Gerald McRaney) on set so thinking he may have protected her in some way which added to their friendship/relationship.

    • Scratch mine, I missed TV Star, duh! I’m changing to Tony Danza he’s always given me a weird vibe.
      Optional: If anyone called me a piece of meat that would be the end of that relationship, I would do my job professionally and keep on a truckin.

  19. William Shatner
    TJ Hooker
    or
    Tony Danza
    Who’s the Boss
    or
    Lee Majors
    The Fall Guy
    less likely
    Stacey Keach
    The New Mike Hammer

  23. Guessing it wasn’t Sherman Helmsley or Charles Nelson Reilly. :p

    Ted Kennedy?
    Bill Engvall?
    Robert Donovan?

    • Read it wrong, it wasn’t guest stars on Designing Women.

      I’m guessing it was William Shatner or Larry Hagman.

  25. Actor: Gavin MacLeod
    Show: The Love Boat. Clue: “crew”
    Optional: I cannot imagine Robert Duvall ever behaving in such an inappropriate fashion.
