Quote of the Day: Roger Daltry Rates The Who’s Super Bowl Number

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Gossip, Performances, Videos, Rock,

“I thought it went OK. I understand. It’s a TV show. Cameras were everywhere. I was so blinded that I couldn’t see… And I really wished the crowd would have gotten into singing the songs with us more. That’s how it is in Europe for our soccer matches. I wanted more banter.”

-The Who‘s Roger Daltry offering his opinion of his band’s performance at yesterday’s Super Bowl.

Why was Kendra Wilkinson Crying After the Super Bowl?

Kendra Wilkinson crying after Super Bowl

Seeing your husband lose in the Super Bowl could make any footballer wife upset. But according to Kendra Wilkinson, Hank Baskett’s game playing wasn’t why she snapped crying by the paparazzi.

After pictures of an emotional Wilkinson were splashed across sites like TMZ, the new mother hit her Twitter account to set the record straight. “I wasn’t cryin cuz of the damn game it’s cuz the paparazzi have no soul..they wouldn’t leave me n family alone!!!!,” she explained. “people like to twist this stuff..we asked them to stop cuz of the baby n they were way too close n they didn’t care at allllllll.”

I completely agree, Kendra—that’s a perfectly understandable reason for your tears. But let’s be honest—it had to be disappointing to see your Indianapolis Colt lose that onside kick, right?

Lost Producers Not Aware of Bud Light Super Bowl Commercial

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, Sports, ABC, Commercials, Lost, Video,

Jay Leno and David Letterman’s Super Bowl commercial wasn’t the only spot yesterday to mock some television drama. ABC’s Lost also became the focus of one of Bud Light’s many ads.

Given the similarities between the actual show and the clip, you’d have thought executive producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof were somehow involved. Well, they weren’t—but that doesn’t mean they didn’t enjoy the commercial.

Conan Envisioned for Letterman, Leno Super Bowl Commercial

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, Sports, CBS, NBC, Commercials, Video,

If Jay Leno is willing to share his program with Jimmy Kimmel, we shouldn’t be surprised to see him in a Late Show spot…right?

Those not distracted during last night’s game were probably caught off guard by a commercial that only lasted 15 seconds. David Letterman, Oprah and Leno all on the same couch together? WTF?

According to Late Show producer Rob Burnett, the idea for the promo came from Letterman himself. The shoot, which was done in secret at the Ed Sullivan Theatre, came together quickly within the past two weeks. Sadly, audiences missed on a possible fourth guest.

MONDAY (2/1)

CSI: Miami (CBS, 10pm): “A convicted killer (Anthony Michael Hall) on death row receives a 24-hour stay of execution after doubt is cast on his guilt.” New evidence suggests he may have been given that girl’s underpants.
Hoarders (A&E, 10pm): “A firefighter whose home overflows with his possessions.” That’s just a fire waiting to happen! Oh - maybe that’s the point.
Damages (FX, 10pm): “Patty and Phil, locked in their bitter divorce battle, find one piece of common ground: their dog.” Phil - if you love the dog, just give it to her. Trust me.

Alba, Leachman to Join Jack Black on The Office

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, NBC, The Office,

Although most shows would be perfectly happy with just two seconds of Jack Black, NBC is not letting its Super Bowl year go to waste.

On February 1st, a list of stars will be making cameos on a rare Sunday installment of The Office. Joining a previously announced Black will be actresses Jessica Alba and Cloris Leachman.

In the special post-game episode, several employees of Dunder Mifflin will attempt to download a bootlegged movie during work hours. (The title of the show is appropriately titled “Stress Relief.”) Jack, Jessica and Cloris will all be featured in that film.

Football fans will also get an added bonus. That installment of The Office will run a full hour.

The Office Scores Super Bowl Slot

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, NBC, The Office, News,

The Office Over the past few years, football lovers have been given something almost as exciting to watch after the Super Bowl as they have during the game. Remember when Francie was killed on Alias? When House diagnosed Mira Sorvino while she was at the South Pole? How about that explosion on Grey’s Anatomy?

Well, it’ll be NBC‘s turn to air the game next February and the network has made its post-game choice: The Office. According to Entertainment Weekly, the producers are may even put together another hour-long episode for the coveted time slot. Of course, details about the plans are being kept secret. (I’m going to make an early guess and say that it will somehow involve a wedding or a baby. Or both.)

Super Bowl XLIII will be played on February 1, 2009. Until then, keep yourself busy with The Office when it returns on September 25.
