‘Blindspot’ spoilers: New details on John Hodgman appearance

For all of those who love “The Daily Show” and/or Apple commercials, we firmly believe that the following bit of news is rather great: John Hodgman is going to be making his presence felt on an upcoming episode of NBC’s “Blindspot.” He will get a chance to play a rather unique character, based on what executive producer Martin Gero had to say to Entertainment Weekly:

“He’s going to play an OPR Agent — the Office of Professional Conduct … Basically he feels like maybe Mayfair is not running the New York Office of the FBI in the right way and certainly has some huge questions about how liable Patterson is in David’s death. He likes to root out bad things, so he’ll be in the mole hunt episode for sure.”

Ultimately, the biggest thing that we can say about this role for John is that it sounds rather fun, and it is definitely a chance for him to shake things up a little bit. He’s a naturally-funny guy, so of course we are intrigued to see if there is any more humor that he can inject into some of what is otherwise a pretty relentless and action-packed show.

Of course, the main emotion that most “Blindspot” fans are feeling at the moment is probably still impatience, given that the rest of the first season will not be premiering on NBC until Monday, February 29. You can expect to see this particular guest spot at some point after that, and we’ll have some further news almost every step of the way. Be on the lookout!
