Norton - who is friends with cast member Ty Burrell (Phil) - will rock out as a bassist in a band hired for Phil’s anniversary party. Look for the Hulk star to appear sometime in November.

So who cares if no one will be in attendance, the Golden Globe nominations must go on!  (If the ceremony continues on as planned, it will air Sunday, January 13th on NBC.)

Here are the most notable omissions/additions in this year’s list of television honorees:

• Damages and Longford led the pack with 4 nominations each.
• James Gandolfini and The Sopranos were both left out of the races (though Edie Falco did get a nod).
• Three of the nominees for best TV Comedy (Entourage, Extras, Californation) came from pay-cable networks.
• Past faves (Desperates Housewives, Heroes, Ugly Betty) were nowhere to be found.  (Though America Ferrera did earn a nod for her individual achievement.)
• HBO led the networks with 18 nominations; ABC was second with 11.

This Week on TV (11/26-12/2)

• Dancing With the Stars (ABC, 8pm):  The final three competitors dance tonight.  ABC’s domination of Monday nights officially ends today.
• How I Met Your Mother (CBS, 8pm):  ‘Barney loses his mojo just as he gets an invite to a Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show party.’  I’m willing to overlook another Heidi Klum sighting just to see Neil Patrick Harris squirm.
• Samantha Who? (ABC, 9pm): NOTE NEW START TIME.
• Notes from the Underbelly (ABC, 9:30):  Season premiere.  So how exactly does this show work?  Does someone always have to be pregnant?
• October Road (ABC, 10pm):  After it’s Thanksgiving debut, the show now slides into its regular time slot (where I predict it will soon slide right out of).
