Tim was the guest for the February 17 episode of Fascination Street Podcast. He spoke with host Steve Owens for nearly an hour about everything from growing up in the Ithaca area to getting started in acting to Diahann Carroll to Kipling. They also got into some of Tim’s most recent projects, guest-starring on Paramount’s 68 Whiskey and narrating the Lucky Dey series.
Many, many thanks, Tim, for the Team DeKay shout-out at the end! You rock! ❤ (And hat tip to Kristen for the heads-up!)
Update: Tim posted on Instagram that his episode is episode 7 (apparently, they put clips from a couple of episodes into that trailer) – which should be airing in two weeks. Sorry for the mix-up – the networks and their lack of info are so frustrating! I’ll post a reminder when his episode is airing.
Apologies for the short notice, but I just found out about this today, and only by chance (happened to watch the trailer on Yellowstone‘s FB since we’ve been watching the show).
Tim will be on tonight’s episode episode 7 of 68 Whiskey! The episode airs on Wednesday, February 26 at 10 pm eastern on Paramount Network. Since many networks no longer put out info (like guest star lists) about episodes of their shows ahead of time, that’s really all we know at this point.
Here’s a screencap from the preview – I’m only posting one because the rest was full of spoilery stuff.
As always, we’ll have captures available in the gallery (which is back up and running) shortly!
Trailblazer, talent, beauty, icon, legend – just a few of the many wonderful words being used to remember Diahann Carroll today. Most of you in this fandom, of course, knew her as June Ellington, but she’d had a long and groundbreaking career before moving into that mansion on Riverside Drive. She won a Tony in 1962, a Golden Globe in 1969, was nominated for four Emmys and an Academy Award, and was inducted into the Television Academy Hall of Fame in 2011. As the star of “Julia” in the late 1960s, she was the first black actress cast in a lead, non-servant role. Depending on your age, you may also remember her from recurring roles on “Dynasty,” “A Different World,” and “Grey’s Anatomy.”
On a more personal note, I loved Diahann’s role on WC. From the first episode to the last, she brought elegance, grace, and even a bit of sass to June and made her a character that everyone loved. I was so happy that a whole new generation was introduced to her singing, and I thought she had such beautiful diction while speaking as well. (And as someone who is admittedly fluent in profanity, I chuckled at the fact that even someone as classy as Diahann was not immune to the occasional expletive, as evidenced in the season six gag reel.)
Rest easy, Ms.
Carroll. You will certainly be missed. Also, fuck cancer.
Tim recently recorded an episode of Romy & Dan’s High School Reunion Podcast, where he talks with the hosts about everything from his theatre background to baseball to family to White Collar! Check it out:
This was definitely interesting, though it seemed like the hosts talked about themselves as much as interviewing Tim. This was my first time listening to a podcast, so I’m not sure if that’s the norm or not (or if maybe it’s the norm for this particular podcast), but I wanted to put it out there anyway in case you’re expecting more of a standard interview format.
Also, there’s just a bit of NSFW language, so wear headphones if listening at work or if you don’t want your kids to hear it! (I’m fluent in profanity, so it didn’t bother me, but I figured I’d warn for it anyway.)
The audiobooks Tim recorded last summer are now available for purchase!
Audible has released the first three books in the Lucky Dey series by Doug Richardson, all narrated by Tim. Check out Doug’s audiobook page for links to purchase them on Audible, Apple Books, Kobo, and Playster.
Here’s a behind-the-scenes shot from last August!
Looking forward to listening to these – and to the ones that follow! If you get them, let us know what you think!

Five years ago today, two big fans of Tim DeKay launched a small fansite for him. At the time, there were no other active fansites for Tim – the few that had once existed were either deserted or hacked. We knew Tim and his fans deserved better, and we hoped we could fill those shoes.
We had high hopes for the site, but I’m not even sure we could have envisioned all of the wonderful things that have happened over the past five years! There have been new roles for Tim, professional and personal milestones, and even a successful charity fundraiser.
Thanks so much to all of you for sticking with us on this journey, and thanks to Tim, Elisa, Jamis, Danna, and their extended family and friends for their support and encouragement. All of you are awesome!
For those who haven’t yet seen this, Tim posted his final shout-out videos from the Real Men Wear Pink campaign today!
Those who donated $25 or more and sent their confirmation to us got a mention in the first video Tim posted today, while the second video featured shout-outs to those who donated prizes and fan works!
Thanks again to everyone who donated money, prizes, and fan works, as well as those who helped us get the word out on social media. We truly appreciate everything you all did to help Tim reach his goal!
And, of course, thanks so much to Tim as well for inviting Team DeKay to help him with his campaign and putting his faith in us!
