Over the years, Hallmark star Andie MacDowell has played a romantic lead against some pretty big names like Bruce Willis, Hugh Grant, and Bill Murray. However, that does not keep her from gushing over the muscles on some fan-favorite Hallmark Hunks. The Way Home star was recently on The Jimmy Fallon Show talking about them.
What did she have to say?

On Thursday, The Way Home star Andie MacDowell was on The Jimmy Fallon Show. There, she talked about her hit series. Fallon shared, “I love Hallmark. Big fan. Big fan!” Andie happily replied, “I know you do, I love that!”
Fallon went on to share that his parents used to watch together. Now, even after his mother passed away, his dad still watches. But, that is not all Jimmy liked.

Obviously, this boils down to the longest-running TV shows I’ve never heard of. But I like to think I’m kind of the Lorax for highly-online dorks: I speak for the dweebs.
You’ve definitely heard of the longest-running show of all time — NFL on NBC, which ran for 85 years — and of course you know General Hospital (61 years) and Jeopardy! (60 years). But there was something in the water around 70 years ago (probably lead) that made Americans with niche interests create some of the most enduring entertainment in human history.
5 ‘It’s Academic’: 63 Years
Started in 1961, this is kind of an academic Hunger Games for high schools in the D.C. metro area. Over 100 schools compete in different regions, with the winners facing off in the legally dubious “Super Bowl.” It was modeled off a British show that had been airing since the 1940s, but It’s Academic stuck...

“Happy Holidays” presents a charming yet familiar narrative in keeping with the traditional Hallmark holiday romance. The film’s main characters are Mia Park, played by Jessica Lowndes, a dissatisfied transplant from Miami trying to make a new life in Seattle, and Max Covington, played by Ezra Moreland, a dog shelter owner who prefers dogs to humans. The story’s idea is simple: a stray dog brings together two characters who don’t seem to have anything in common, and the warmth of the holiday season serves as the backdrop for their connection.
The film welcomes classic storytelling devices, especially the enemies-to-lovers arc, but it subtly flirts with novel narrative techniques. A unique spin on the romantic comedy genre is the interwoven dog romance, which serves as a catalyst for Mia and Max’s developing relationship. This combining of narratives enhances emotional engagement and reflects a larger cultural trend that...
