VIDEO: George Clooney with the Cast of Modern Family

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Comedy, Prime Time, ABC, NBC, Video,
When you think back on the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards—which portion will you remember the most?
Ricky Gervais’ jokes about Mel Gibson? Jimmy Fallon’s opening number? Breaking Bad‘s two acting wins? The red carpet fashion?
For me, it will be George Clooney’s relationships (plural) with the cast members of Modern Family. Steve Levitan and Christopher Lloyd, I beg of you two—please make this happen.

Glee-Full Emmy Opening

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Award Shows, Prime Time, Specials, NBC, Video,
Despite Jimmy Fallon’s truly horrible singing (he’s no Neil Patrick Harris), the opening number of the 62nd Primetime Emmy awards was a huge success. Thanks, Jane Lynch.
Lynch and several of her Glee co-stars, including Emmy nominees Lea Michele and Chris Colfer, helped start the Emmy Awards off right with a funny, tuneful Bruce Springsteen tribute that YouTube won’t soon forget. Watch the video above to see it for yourself!

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Comedy, Drama, Food & Home, Late Night, Music, Prime Time, ABC, Bravo, Cable, CBS, FOX, HBO, NBC, Showtime, TNT-HD, Saturday Night Live, Top Chef, Features, Gossip,

Tonight, the annual Emmy Awards telecast will be aired live on both the East and West Coasts (finally!). The ceremony will also incorporate fan tweets into Jimmy Fallon’s material—but will there be any other surprises in the 2010 broadcast?
Will 30 Rock continue its domination in the Comedy category, or will Glee - or even Modern Family - finally topple the reigning champ? Will Mad Men snag another Best Drama win, or will Lost get a statue for its final season?
What will Conan O’Brien say if he wins for The Tonight Show during this NBC event? Will Elisabeth Moss address soon-to-be ex-husband Fred Armisen if she wins for Best Supporting Actress? Oh – the awkward possibilities are endless!
So who won and who lost at the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards? Read our West Coast play-by-play account of this evening’s telecast and find out!

No More MacGruber: Will Forte Leaves SNL

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live, News, Video,
UPDATE: You can learn more about the new cast members here.
Given the dismal response to the MacGruber film, Saturday Night Live fans might not care if that character died. But, really—who doesn’t love Will Forte?
The funnyman who was featured in sketches like political candidate Tim Calhoun and opposite band Jon Bovi has just announced that he will be leaving the late night program. The parting of ways was reportedly amicable.

Steve Carell Worries Over Ricky Gervais

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, NBC, The Office, Gossip, Rumors,
Steve Carell worries that Ricky Gervais hates him.
The actor, who recently announced he is quitting the American version of Ricky’s sitcom The Office, is paranoid his comic contemporary doesn’t like him because of his modest personality.
When told Ricky hates people who project an “ever-so-humble shtick” during an interview with the Observer Magazine, Steve laughed and said, “Oh dear, he probably hates me.”
The 48-year-old star also doesn’t understand why people are interested in him because he thinks he is “ordinary.” Steve - who has two children, daughter Elizabeth, nine, and six-year-old son Johnny, with wife Nancy Walls Carell - said, “I don’t know how other people perceive the lives of actors but mine is fairly ordinary. I go to work, I come home, I put my kids to bed. If I’m home in time for dinner, I have dinner and then it’s bedtime.”
Despite his apparently mundane existence, Steve wouldn’t change his life in anyway: “It’s not like I’m a wallflower. I think I’m fairly average. I don’t attempt to stand out in any way. I’m not out there. I’m not somebody who’s constantly entertaining, I’m not the life of the party. But on the other hand, I am at the party.”
