The 62nd Annual Emmy Awards are almost upon us and host Jimmy Fallon has taped a few promos that manage to include both laser eyes and Undressed alum Christina Hendricks. Watch both after the jump.
During its first season, TV Land's Hot in Cleveland has enjoyed the confines of old conventions -- multicamera format, hammy dialogue, and three archetypal ladies as leads. But after watching a preview video of guest-star Joe Jonas playing Melanie's (Valerie Bertinelli) son Will, I have to wonder: Did that singing superstar sign on because Betty White makes a decidedly current jab at Jonas peer Justin Bieber?
Good news, King of Late Night fans: Over 3,000 hours of Johnny Carson content is now available for your licensing pleasure. And if shelling out that kind of dough does not interest you, JohnnyCarson.com offers ready-to-watch highlights (which, unfortunately, are not embeddable), including digitally remastered segments with Betty White, Steve Martin, Billy Crystal, Jay Leno and more. Enjoy! [JohnnyCarson.com via THR]
Autumn Reeser has come a long way from playing the Tracy Flick-like Taylor Townsend on The O.C. The versatile character actress has spent the better part of this summer giving Ari Gold a second ulcer in her recurring part as the foul-mouthed and super-smart Lizzie on Entourage. This fall, she'll ply her trade at family friendly dramedy in the upcoming ABC pilot No Ordinary Family, a sort of live-action version of The Incredibles. She also does a monthly stage show in Los Angeles and juggles going back to school. And you thought your life was busy.
Jason Bateman returned to the late night circuit last night to continue hawking The Switch, even if that meant criticizing the odd marketing choices made by the studio. Meanwhile, Eli "Bear Jew" Roth outed Martin Brest as an insensitive director to his stand-ins, Anna Paquin introduced George Lopez to the "sn*tch patch," David Duchovny celebrated an Ecuadorian holiday and Stephen Colbert celebrated an airline hero.
There was a lot to be learned from last night's Pete-centric, Inception-tinged Warehouse 13. First, that our Agent Lattimer (Eddie McClintock) can goof around with devastatingly dangerous artifacts all he wants, but he should really keep the impassioned threats against Mark Sheppard to a minimum. Because it's embarrassing. Second, Mark Sheppard -- no matter what minuscule genre role he's filling -- will always seem like he's up to no good. And third, I finally realized I really can't stand Pete. What artifacts crossed his destructive path of overwrought tomfoolery? Read on for the roundup.
Also in this morning's TV Bites: Rescue Me creator Peter Tolan gets funny... a big-time Hollywood screenwriter heads to the small screen... and more casting blurbs than you can shake a stick at ahead.
Bravo's most peculiar reality star ever (outpacing P.C. of the lamented NYC Prep) is back for another season of obsessive-compulsive realty adventures. Flipping Out's Jeff Lewis will move tables, knock out walls, talk to himself, and maybe work with someone who won't steal away all of his clients. We're there.
You may have thought that you saw too much of Christina Hendricks during last Sunday's Mad Men when the buxom siren visited the gynecologist in character. However, the truth is that there are still many more uncomfortably intimate moments in the starlet's acting reel, beginning with this 1999 episode of MTV's sex soap Undressed, which you can watch in its entirety after the jump.
NBC's new 24-minute-long preview of its fall schedule invites us in for a closer look at its drama-heavy menu, which is enough to appetize me for some key debuts and guest spots. Here are its five biggest points of interest:
With just three months until Conan O'Brien makes his late night debut on cable, TBS has unveiled a new 10-second ad in which the red-headed comedian is literally reconstructed with the use of planes, cranes, and hair dye. A Pythonesque flourish, a spot of shameless TBS propaganda ("the network that is rebuilding NBC's Humpty Dumpty") or just the latest in the artsy, old-fashioned video movement spearheaded by Joseph Gordon-Levitt? Decide for yourself after the jump.
Maybe after the Britney Spears episode, Glee creator Ryan Murphy will concentrate on the show's core characters. Murphy spoke to Ryan Seacrest on his radio show this morning and confirmed the speculation that Britney would appear on the Fox hit: "Britney, I think 100% is going to be on the episode, which is exciting." But what role will she play?
It took Andy Cohen two seasons, but the Bravo mastermind (and born sh*t-stirrer) finally found an ocean liner willing to transport the Real Housewives of New Jersey to the homeland. Still, before the rag-tag gang of reality stars set foot in Italy, there was the Home Alone-ian lead-up to the big trip, featuring night-before pizza parties with extended family, one disgruntled uncle, spilled milk (or thousand-dollar vases), one child's exile to the attic, and a bullying relative to torture the kiddies. This week's most real and fake moments await in the booby-trapped stairwell after the jump.
Critics may have had a hard time believing that $#*! My Dad Says will be worthwhile viewing this fall but advertisers are already predicting that the profane Twitter-feed-turned-television-show starring William Shatner will develop one of the deepest emotional connections with its audience this season among new programs. Can you guess which other new network shows advertisers are gambling will pull on your heartstrings this autumn?
Jason Bateman's technological summer may have gotten off to a rocky start thanks to a little incident fondly recalled as iPhoneGate. But his love for the gadget prevailed, and last night the Switch star spent most of his Late Night segment waxing poetic about it. Elsewhere, Will Ferrell reminisced about the stand-up career that could have been, Aubrey Plaza described the decade-long relationship that began as a joke, and Jada Pinkett Smith warned America of her family's upcoming ventures into music and fashion.
