Posted: 5/31/06 at 10:05amDid anyone else see Will on LAST COMIC STANDING last night? He was in the audience at Caroline's for the NYC semi-finals...they did a couple close-ups on him...and I said to my roommate, "That's Will Chase...he's a Broadway actor."

Posted: 5/31/06 at 1:17pmI was a PA on Last Comic Standing and his wife was one of the contestants that's why he was there. I got to meet him he's a great guy. Lori is awesome as well, cute couple those two!

Posted: 7/18/07 at 9:53pmLori was just on Last Comic Standing tonight as a semifinalist. She did a whole little bit about how Will (without naming him) proposed to her. Apparently they are divorced now. Then made some jokes about how he is gay since he's on Broadway and took her makeup. She was pretty cute and funny.

Posted: 7/18/07 at 10:03pmWow! Are you sure Lori wasn't kidding? She and Will are divorced? That's so sad...

What did she say, out of curiosity? I'm still sorry to hear about their split (heard about it quite a few months ago), but at least she's able to make light of it in her routine.

Posted: 7/18/07 at 10:16pmShe said how she and her boyfriend moved to New York to make in on Broadway. She talked about how he was from Kentucky so they were probably related, lol. Then she said she got cast in CATS, and he thought it would be romantic to propose to her in character. So he got dressed up as a cat and jumped out of an alley or something and said "Will you marry me?" and she was like "sure, but who are you?!". She then proceeded to make a joke about him marking his territory by peeing on his leg. She then talked about how she isn't really on Broadway anymore but her ex husband is now this big Broadway star...which makes him pretty gay. LOL. She was like "I am so mad that he made it on Broadway...because it means he took all my makeup". Basically it was really funny, and anyone who knew who she was knew she was talking about Will. It's sad that they broke up though.

Posted: 7/18/07 at 10:35pmThey've been apart for quite a while. It was pretty evident when his new (very young) girlfriend used to hang around the theatre during High Fidelity's short run.

Posted: 7/19/07 at 12:07amYeah, Lori's and Will's myspace pages both made it pretty clear that they divorced last year. They have two daughters, cute as can be. I feel for the whole family.

This is random, but I was looking at Lori's pictures, and there are pictures of her girls with "Clara and Maggie". I'm guessing they may be Norbert's girls?
I wish I had caught her on the show......
