Sunday Ratings: Super Bowl, Undercover Boss Break TV Records
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Specials, Sports, CBS, Ratings,
The score may have been close for most of Super Bowl XLIV, but the game’s ratings were the best thing on TV…by far.
Last night’s battle between the Indianapolis Colts at the New Orleans Saints had 106.48 million Bud Light-swilling, Doritos-chomping sports fans glued to their TV sets. That number represents the largest viewing audience for any event in U.S. television history.
The previous record was established by the series finale of M*A*S*H. That 1983 event totaled a whopping 105.97 viewers.

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.

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,
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.

No ‘Live’ Performance for Paula Abdul
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Sports, FOX, American Idol,
As host of the Super Bowl pre-game events, Ryan Seacrest - yes, Ryan Seacrest - gave reporters some insight on what they should be expecting come game day. While confirming rumors of a Paula Abdul comeback performance, he tacked on news many may be disappointed to hear: her performance with Randy Jackson will be pre-taped.
C’mon, seriously? Have we not learned anything from Britney’s ‘comeback’ at the VMAs? If you’re going to reestablish yourself in the music industry, you’re going to need to do it live. We don’t want Memorex.
Be looking for the canned performance Feb. 3rd on FOX.
