Separated At Birth: ‘American Idol’ Edition

Is Adam Lambert the brunette version of fantasy post-Zack Attack Zack Morris? Also, Tim Urban, you’re totally stealing Chris Lowell’s act. Veronica can’t be happy about Tim Urban ripping off Piz.  If there’s one person you don’t want to piss off it’s Veronica Mars.

Drums, Conga & Guitar, Uncle Jesse? Have Mercy!

Just to tie a bow on yesterday’s John Stamos-Beach Boys-DWTS post, here’s last night’s surf rock medley, with Stamos performing not one, not two, but three instruments, and looking, in the words of my mother, adorable: [via Gawker.TV] Could this be a storyline for that long-awaited Full House reunion?  Uncle Jesse goes on tour with [...]

Four More Examples of How Jimmy Fallon is Killing it (and One That Shows Why He’s Not)

Talking up the good work that Jimmy Fallon and the Late Night crew have been doing is nothing new on this blog.  In fact, we’ve been complimenting their efforts as far back as last Fall.  But with the show celebrating its one year anniversary last week, and with the program demonstrating as much creativity and [...]

‘SNL’: Hamm & Cheese and A Bublé Disposition

PUNS!!! In yesterday’s SNL appetizer post I surmised that last night’s show had a 50% chance of being funny.  However, immediately after making this less than bold proclamation I realized that I should have at least given the odds at 51%, and more accurately probably around 75%.  With SNL returning after a week off, having [...]

Dear ‘The Office:’ You’re Making it Harder and Harder to Keep Defending You

First reaction to last night’s “episode:” What the fuck was that? A clip show? Really? Really??? Perhaps I would not have be so indignant if the episode had was a celebration of a milestone number of episodes. Or if it arrived in conjunction with another episode wholly comprised of wholly original content. But for this [...]

In Defense Of: Jimmy Fallon

I was planning to write this post a couple weeks ago, before the tornado of Leno-Conan-Local Affiliates-gate threw the entire late night landscape into a tumult (and what of George Lopez?), but this takes on even greater significance now.  At this very moment, with the future of NBC’s late night schedule hanging in the balance, [...]

Hanukkah Night #Seis: Jewing it up on “Late Night’

Like many, I was hard on Jimmy Fallon when he first embarked on his new role as Late Night host back in March.  And the criticism was well-earned.  He seemed ill prepared, unfocused, giggly, and generally too impressed by his guests to offer up anything that resembled an acceptable interview.  However, while his Q&A skills [...]

The ‘Office’ Has Not Jumped The Shark

After feeling like I was in the minority with my mild disappointment with last week’s wedding episode, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that I was not alone in my distaste for last night’s The Office, “Mafia.”  I watched it in a new place, with a large dinner still digesting, the mood already soured by [...]
