'New Moon': Which late night studio audience will behave the most inappropriately?

9 hours ago | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

The audience of Jimmy Kimmel Live is off to a strong lead in the competition for Most Inappropriate Response to a Double Entendre Uttered by a New Moon Lead. Kimmel's interview with Taylor Lautner, Kristen Stewart, and Robert Pattinson won't air until Friday, the night the film opens, but Hulu has posted an excerpt. In it, Kimmel asks Lautner about his physical transformation. Did you hear he gained 30 lbs. for the film?! I'm tired of typing that, can't imagine how Lautner feels having to repeat it. Perhaps that's why he's trying to vary his answers and producing quotes like this one. »

Eric Bana talks Love the Beast - Rt Interview

11 hours ago | Rotten Tomatoes | See recent Rotten Tomatoes news »

Not a lot of people know that actor Eric Bana, familiar to most from roles in the likes of Star Trek, Munich and Ang Lee's Hulk, is a massive petrol head. With the release of Love the Beast, Bana aims to change that. It's a love letter to his pride and joy, a Ford Gt Falcon Coupe which he's owned since he was 15, a documentary about his obsession with it and with racing, and the mourning attached to his crash during the Targa rally in 2007. Along the way Bana interviews the likes of Jeremy Clarkson, Jay Leno and... »

NBC Developing Delightful-Sounding Show with Borat Director Larry Charles

21 hours ago | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

It may be struggling with its lack of quality dramas and the albatross that is The Jay Leno Show, but when it comes to comedy, no one can touch NBC.  The Office may have grown a tad stale, but their Thursday nights have the killer combo of 30 Rock and Community.  Now it looks like another fantastic sitcom could be headed the network’s way with former-Seinfeld writer and Borat director Larry Charles at the helm of a delightful premise about fanboys who decide that instead sitting shiva for their favorite canceled TV show they’ll just make it themselves.  Hit the jump for details.

According to Variety, Charles would write, exec produce and direct and untitled semi-script sitcom centering on a group of sci-fi fanboys in a small town who shoot their own version of a canceled TV show.  I love that.  It’s beyond the traditional fanboyism of online devotion, »

New "Twilight: New Moon" Trailer To Air On Jay Leno

13 November 2009 7:34 PM, PST | Reel Empire | See recent Reel Empire news »

Talk show host Jay Leno is doing everything he can to pick his measly ratings up. On Monday, November 16, "Twilight: New Moon" star Taylor Lautner will be making an appearance on the show.

Top 10 Reasons This Woman Can't Write for Late Night Comedy Shows

13 November 2009 9:49 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

In the New York Times, Bill Carter writes ,"very few women make it inside the writing rooms for late-night television hosts, despite that women make up a larger proportion of their audience than men. There are no female writers on the new “The Jay Leno Show,” none on “Late Show with David Letterman,” none on “The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien.”" Based on his article and Nell Scovell's personal account in Vanity Fair, I have come to understand why the odds are stacked against my wedging my paw in the door. I still have hope (also known as a delusions).     The Top 10 Reasons This Woman Can't Write for Late Night Comedy Variety Shows 10) I will be overcome by desire for my male comedy writing peers and superiors, who are known for their off-white, pasty skin and muscle tonus minimus, akin to albino, soft shell turtles. 9) My lady sensibility. »

Brooke Hundley said a Leno joke was her "breaking point"

12 November 2009 11:30 AM, PST | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »

Brooke Hundley -- the "tubby temptress" that had an affair with Espn's Steve Phillips -- spoke to the media for the first time this morning, talking to Kate Snow on Good Morning America. It wasn't an extraordinary interview by any means; Hundley claims that actions the media has described as "stalking" were more like desperate attempts to alert people to what was going on between her and Phillips. You can believe what you want about that.

The most interesting part of the interview, shown below, is that after all the verbal abuse she took -- including being called the C-word and "whore" -- an innocuous Jay Leno joke about her looks was her "breaking point." The joke can be seen in the story: Jay compares Hundley to Phillips' wife and says "What was he thinking?" He then says, "I realize you can't have steak every day, but please..."

So, there you have it. »

This is one reason I don't watch The Jay Leno Show

12 November 2009 10:31 AM, PST | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »

The reason I don't particularly like The Jay Leno Show (besides the fact that he's taking up five hours a week on the NBC schedule) comes down to three words: "it's not funny."

Usually I post videos because they're good or funny or interesting or clever or strange. I'm posting this one to show you the type of humor you're missing if you don't watch Leno's show. Talk about forced and going on too long. Jeez.

Steve Phillips' Galpal Talks Affair

12 November 2009 8:47 AM, PST | newser.com | See recent newser news »

Brooke Hundley is shocked—shocked!—that she’s “been called a homewrecker” and Jay Leno used her “to get a cheap laugh” after her affair with Steve Phillips got them both fired from Espn. The 22-year-old talks about the scandal for the first time, telling Good Morning America that she regrets her mistakes—and understands scorned wife Marni Phillips’ pain. "I think the only thing I could really say to her is that as someone whose family has been ripped apart over this just as much as someone who has, you know, 500 phone calls, emails, letters, paparazzi outside my apartment,... »

Howie Mandel improves The Tonight Show, er, The Jay Leno Show

11 November 2009 2:29 PM, PST | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »

If you're anything like me (first of all, God help you), then you've noticed that The Jay Leno Show is slowly starting to morph into the old Tonight Show.

Thankfully, Deal or No Deal host Howie Mandel finally put the last nail in The Jay Leno Show's coffin by giving the big faced host his own desk.

Leno show makes "radical" format change; looks more like old Tonight Show

11 November 2009 7:42 AM, PST | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »

If you were one of the dozens of people who were watching The Jay Leno show on Monday, you might have been wondering why the "Headlines" segment came right after Jay's monologue instead of right before the local news. Were you stumbling upon a rerun of the old Tonight Show that was airing by mistake? Nope. It seems that, because of the low-and-sinking ratings Leno has been getting at ten, the producers have decided to "shake up" the format ... to make it look like the old Tonight Show.

Of course, changing a pretty moribund format back to a format that's even older isn't exactly a radical shift. But the producers are likely betting that returning to the successful Tonight formula is the way to go.

Here's the problem: people don't have the same ingrained expectations of a 10 Pm talk show that they have of an 11:30 show. Instead of tuning »

Kathy Griffin interview on Jay Leno

10 November 2009 7:46 AM, PST | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »

The Jay Leno show at 10 Pm on NBC has been an interesting ride. The comic recently lamented he missed his original late night spot, and now media number crunchers have sounded the "Fail" alarms for a show that has booked a wide variety of interesting gueats. The earlier timeslot for Leno is historically a berth for drama. All this comes as .The Jay Leno Show. - just two months into a two-year deal - is being heralded by industry insiders as a total ratings boondoggle, thanks to the timing of it, not the host or his talent. MSNBC quoted Marc Berman.s Mediaweek column, .The Programming Insider,. which labeled the show as Doa: .It.s an enormous flop,. said »

Confirmed! ABC Moving "Ugly Betty" to Wednesday Nights

10 November 2009 7:35 AM, PST | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »

Just when I thought network programming was so bad that it had to be done by a bunch of drunk monkeys (see: NBCSucks), ABC goes and proves me wrong by moving Ugly Betty to Wednesday nights, rectifying their bone-headed mistake of moving the show to Fridays. Kristin at E! reported it as as a rumor this morning, but a source very close to the show has confirmed to AfterElton.com the move is definite although the time hasn't been decided for sure.

The idea behind the move is to pair Betty with ABC's freshman hits Modern Family and Cougartown and actually makes a lot of sense. In fact, it actually gives ABC quite a two-hour block of comedy to promote the heck out of and, with any luck, will return Betty to its status as a top twenty show.

As I've said ever since Betty came back, I think this »

Interview With Kevin Rankin: "Trauma" Character Just Happens to be a Gay Emt

9 November 2009 2:52 PM, PST | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »

Talk about traumatic!

NBC recently announced that they are canceling Trauma, their new show about paramedics set in San Francisco (although they have said they will air the remaining few episodes).

This is a shame for gay viewers, because the show's cast includes Tyler, a major gay character who is actually complicated and gets actual screentime. In the October 26th Halloween episode “Masquerade,” Tyler, played by Kevin Rankin, revealed a mask of a different kind when he came out to his riding partner, Boone, an African American man who is clearly uncomfortable with gays.

In other words, the show is "going there" on the complicated emotions and politics of homophobia in the African American community.

Recently, we talked to Kevin, who might also be familiar to viewers from his reoccurring role as a paralyzed athelete on Friday Night Lights. The interview took place before NBC had made a final decision regarding Trauma's fate. »
