Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Late Night, Sports, Cable, CBS, NBC, Saturday Night Live, Video,

SNL opened with one of their funniest sketches of the year on Saturday. In a single skit, the show managed to pay homage to March Madness, Charlie Sheen and world current events. Our favorite part is Bill Hader -- watch the video above to see what we mean.

In related news, fans will have the opportunity to watch the real March Madness in a whole new way for this years NCAA men’s basketball tournament, which begins on Tuesday. CBS has purchased the broadcasting rights once again, but this year the network will actually show every single game. This year, games will be presented on CBS, TNT, TBS and truTV.

‘Star Jones’, ‘Montel Williams’ Cancelled

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, Cable, Syndication, Cancellations,

Somewhere, Barbara Walters must be secretly laughing right now.

Star Jones Reynolds, the woman who once occupied a seat on The View, is already looking for a new job.  After only six months on the air, truTV (formerly Court TV) officially turned off the lights on the The Star Jones Show today.  The program’s demise was announced only earlier this week.  In a statement, the network said the decision was “due to the rebranding and programming refocus of the network.”  (In other words, the channel was moving on and Star wasn’t coming with them.)

The end of Reynolds’ show, though, does not mean a departure for her from the channel.  As part of her goodbye gift, Star was given the opportunity to serve as a guest legal correspondent on the daily program that is replacing hers: Arrest & Trial.
