Stars like Tom Hanks, Betty White, David Spade, Maya Rudolph, Cedric the Entertainer, George Clooney, Jason Alexander, Zack Galifianakis, Drew Carey and the Geico gecko (to name just a few) crowded onto a single set to answer phones for Comedy Central’s Night of Too Many Stars: An Overbooked Benefit for Autism Education -- and they were just the in-between act. The cable network outdid itself on Thursday night, interspersing live phone segments with the pre-recorded, gala event held weeks ago in New York City.
Highlights from the pre-recorded theater event include the tuneful moment that reunited event host Jon Stewart with former Daily Show contributors Stephen Colbert and Steven Carrell. The latter two delivered a rousing song written for 2008 about Captain Sullenberger. The “Chocolate Rain” YouTube sensation made an appearance, and the song was so good even Jon Stewart was compelled to join in mid-chorus.

TV Talk: Jason Alexander Joins Jenny Craig, Law & Order Eyes Los Angeles
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, Cable, FOX, NBC, Showtime, Commercials, Heroes, Lost, Prison Break, Gossip, News, Rumors,
-Seinfeld‘s Jason Alexander has signed up to be the new face of Jenny Craig. I’m not sure I want to see a bathing suit commercial in his future.
-Oscar nominee Laura Linney will star in The Big C, a new series for Showtime. In case your mind went elsewhere, that “C” stands for “cancer.”
-Former Nightline anchor Ted Koppel could be returning to his old network. ABC is reportedly hoping he’ll replace GMA‘s George Stephanopoulos on This Week.
-Is there another Law & Order franchise on the horizon? NBC is currently entertaining a Los Angeles-based version of the show.
-The numbers may be lousy, but someone’s still watching Heroes. The NBC series was the most-pirated program last year. Lost was second while Prison Break came in third.

MONDAY (9/28)
Season premieres: County Jail, Lie to Me, Trauma
- Trauma (NBC, 9pm): “A medical drama focusing on the first-responder paramedics at a San Francisco hospital and the extreme dangers they face to save lives.” It’s like a “very special episode” of ER...every…week.
- Unwrapped (FOOD, 9pm): “The making of bacon ice cream at Delaware s Woodside Farm Creamery.” Hot bacon sundaes can be topped off with bacon bits and/or bacon grease.
- CSI: Miami (CBS, 10pm): “The lab is attacked and new CSI Jesse Cardoza is taken hostage along with four other people.” Unfortunately, the newbie wasn’t eligible for his hostage compensation benefits yet.

Don’t Curb Your Enthusiasm! Seinfeld Cast Will Reunite
Jerry Seinfeld has repeatedly balked at doing a reunion for the highly-popular, long-running sitcom that helped make NBC a success again…but it seems the comedian will stand in the way of Fate no longer. Seinfeld co-creator Larry David has managed to get the cast to agree to appear on his series Curb Your Enthusiasm.
It’s like 1996 all over again.

Seinfeld Cast to Reunite on HBO
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, Cable, HBO,
Over twenty years after being placed behind bars, the cast of Seinfeld will be free to commit selfish acts once again.
It’s just been announced that Jerry Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander and Michael Richards will all be reuniting for several episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm. What - or who - could bring all four actors together at once? Curb‘s star/creator Larry David - the co-creator and executive producer of Seinfeld.
Although the NBC vets have all individually appeared on the HBO program already, the upcoming multi-episode arc will be the first time they have appeared together for TV since their 1998 finale.
The seventh season of Curb Your Enthusiasm is expected to return sometime next fall.

The Rise And Fall Of Britney Spears: Who’s To Blame?
Forget about Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan. The year 2007 belonged to Britney Spears. And not in a, “Hey, Britney Spears is the sexiest women alive and sold a lot of records” kind of way. No, it’s more like, “Hey, Britney Spears split from her back-up dancer husband, had her disgusting hoo-ha and c-section scar plastered all over the internet, shaved all her hair off, lost custody of her children and had a comeback performance/album that bombed.” Yeah, she’s had that kind of year. And frankly, I’m pretty freakin’ tired of seeing her face every time I turn on the TV or go online and having to listen to every step of the “Britney custody saga” reported as legitimate news.
This woman is a disaster. Let’s make that point very clear from the outset. She is clearly a very unstable woman in need of some very serious help, and she’s not getting it. And now that it’s being reported that yet another member of the Spears clan has her tin-roof rusted, I think we need to take a step back and take a look at the big picture. Who is really to blame for the downfall of one of the biggest names and faces in, not only music, but pop culture as a whole? Who is responsible for the destruction of Britney Spears?

Seinfeld Co-Stars Reunited on ‘New Adventures’
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, CBS,
I don’t know about you, but watching re-runs of Seinfeld makes me wish they’d do a reunion show. I can’t wait to see Jerry Seinfeld’s guest role on 30 Rock (which, incidentally, is one of the best comedies on television)—or for that matter, his upcoming Bee Movie. Sadly, as much as I enjoyed Julia Louis-Dreyfus on Seinfeld and Watching Ellie (remember that one? few do…), The New Adventures of Old Christine has never sparked my interest. I’ve seen a handful of episodes and Louis-Dreyfus is adorable and funny, but it’s just never locked me in. So, where am I going with this post? Well, my point is that Jason Alexander, who played George Costanza on Seinfeld, will be appearing on The New Adventures of Old Christine this season. He’ll play a lizard handler (weird, huh) at a kid’s party and Christine ends up dating him. The show has a midseason return, so no telling yet when Alexander’s guest role will turn up. New Adventures is the first show of the Seinfeld cast to break the Seinfeld Curse, but it looks as though viewer numbers have slid a bit—12.5 million for the first season and 10.4 million for season two.

Jason Alexander Returns to TV (Again)
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, ABC,
In hopes of busting that old Seinfeld curse, Jason Alexander is taking another stab at a television series. He’ll be joining an untitled ABC cop comedy. Cop comedy… hmmm, not too sure how Alexander will play in that, but his role will be as an internal affairs superintendent, so I guess it could work. For now, he’ll have a recurring role, but if the show gets picked up, he would become a series regular. Alexander’s last attempts at television include 2001’s Bob Patterson and 2004’s Listen Up. Hey, Julia Louis-Dreyfus finally landed another successful post-Seinfeld project, maybe this time is the charm for Alexander too.
