The 11 Most Anticipated Entertainment Options for 2011 -- Julie's Picks
More Between Two Ferns Installments
It's been awhile since Zach Galifianakis filmed a new installment of his Funny or Die web series but hopefully the comedian will crank out a few more episodes in between promoting his 2011 projects (The Hangover Part II, The Muppets and Puss in Boots).
The First Half Hour of the 83rd Annual Academy Awards
The artwork may have been incredibly disappointing but there is no way that co-hosts Anne Hathaway and James Franco could produce a less impressive ceremony than last year's, hosted by a strangely unfunny Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin.
Horrible Bosses
Seth Gordon's 2007 documentary The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters remains one of my favorite films of all-time so I was thrilled to hear that the director was taking on a comedy with some of my favorite comedic actors. With Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, Jason Sudeikis, Julie Bowen and Jennifer Aniston in this film about a group of unhappy employees who decide to murder their bosses, how could this possibly disappoint? Right?

Honestly, I can count on Kathie Lee Gifford's celebrity interviews for laughs more than I can count on Saturday Night Live these days. Whether she is letting Joel McHale openly mock her, trashing Amy Sedaris's craft book or convincing Justin Long to debut his hilarious Ted Levine impression (above), Kathie Lee remains one of television's most trusted comedic landmarks.

I want to hug you for putting Bonnie Hunt on this list. She is awesome.
Agreed.
Also, her show was a really pleasant throwback to the Merv Griffin/Mike Douglas era of feel-good/fun celebrity chat shows, without the bombastic-bad-broadway-musical aspect that was the hallmark of the Rosie O'Donnell Show. (I caught it during a sick week home last year, and dvr'd it for the rest of it's run.) That it died so NBC affiliates could run syndicated repeats of the Real Housewives franchise is gross.
