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!

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

  3. Bunniest says

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

    Ted Kennedy?
    Bill Engvall?
    Robert Donovan?

  6. scumby says

    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

    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.

  10. truebritt8 says

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

  11. CanaryCry says

    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.

  13. Marvella says

    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.

  14. krak13 says

    William Shatner – TJ Hooker

    or

    Tony Danza – Who’s the Boss

    or

    James Brolin – Hotel

  16. 8oclock says

    Star: Pierce Brosnan

    Remington Steele

    Clue: affair (Brosnan was in Thomas Crowne Affair)

  17. irishiis49 says

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

    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!”.

    Robert Preston
    The Chisholms
    I would reply back ( if i was single and wanted it) yeah sure and you will be my piece of sausage for today! If I did mot want tho thats a whole other story…

  26. hvp5ss says

    “This week’s meat” makes it sound like a show that revolved a different guest star every week.
    She did several shows like that, but since I don’t think anyone guessed it yet, I’ll say

    Ricardo Montalban/ Fantasy Island

    Probably not anyone on Love Boat, since she did multiple episodes. I don’t think she’d be asked back in this situation.

  27. WorkHardBeNice says

    I’m guessing Gene Rayburn. Seemed like a horndog.

    Off-topic: I can’t get over how much Kate Middleton looks like a young Delta Burke!

  28. ILUVCA4evr says

    Stacy Keach A.K.A> Mike Hammer

    He was notorious at the time for his disrespect of women and he was also a cokehead. It destroyed his career.

  29. Bunniest says

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

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

  30. olivebell says

    This is the Love Boat
    I have no idea what actor on that show would behave this way

  31. SleuthingForFun says

    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.

  32. SleuthingForFun says

    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.

  34. PGreen says

    She does! I never noticed that before. Obviously far less voluptuous, but the resemblance is there.

  36. NoseyNana2008 says

    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.

  37. spoofbyrd says

    Fred Grandy was seen hitting on the “Atmosphere ” which are attractive models and aspiring actresses used for the scenes and the sets but I don’t think he would use term meat either. I still would go for Stacy Keach who has some of the Bob Character from Judge Roy Bean in this.
