Last night, I made sure to watch both Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien as they returned to their shows without writers. As it turns out, sheer curiosity is quite the ratings booster. Even though Letterman and counterpart Craig Ferguson were armed with writers last night, NBC’s shows still topped them.
Leno still had a […]
Ann Coulter’s latest controversial comments, which will probably help her career if anything, took place on CNBC’s “The Big Idea” with Donny Deutsch, which sounds interestingly similar to “douche.”
Somehow, Ann and Donny got into a discussion about religion, at which it was pointed out that Deutsch is a Jew. As far as I’ve seen, […]
I’ve written before that TV news is stupid and you shouldn’t watch it, and it looks like someone over at Time Warner actually agrees with me. Well, somewhat.
CEO Richard Parsons says he worries more about CNN as a channel than as a website. CNN is probably the number one news website available, edging out Drudge […]
George Lopez’s TV show was cancelled recently after a moderately successful run on ABC. Shouldn’t be news, right? Shows get cancelled a lot, especially when they have low ratings like Lopez’s did.
Tell that to Lopez, who got ousted by the new “Cavemen” show that was supposedly inspired by the Geico commercials. He thinks […]
Remember the documentary that supposedly found the “tomb” of Jesus, sacreligious enough in time for the Easter season?
The documentary originally concluded that the odds were 600:1 that finding a tomb that included a family with the same names as people from Jesus’s lives was a coincidence.
Now, the same scientists who estimated that number aren’t ssure.
But […]
I don’t really have an advanced strategy like I described in the title. For the purposes of this post, you basically just have to have common sense (and TiVo) in order to tell when a study is completely bogus.
According to this particularly bogus study, networks lose only 7% of their audience once a show […]
This week’s newest South Park had some funny/interesting/insane things that I think are worth mentioning here.
The whole show was a spoof on “24,” in which Cartman essentially turns into Jack Bauer and gets suspicious of a new Muslim student. After assuming that there will be a bomb in play for Hillary Clinton’s visit to South […]
Note: I completely ripped off Bill Simmon’s NBA draft diary format for this entry.
8:00 p.m. - I’m watching the State of the Union on Fox because American Idol was on before it. What, no more fake auditions?
Shepherd Smith, the anchor famous for this, is hosting, along with Fox News’ Chris Wallace. For some reason, they’re […]
Some people don’t care about celebrities or awards shows. Seeing as how it was sort of a weak movie year, I can’t really argue it. But here’s some of the interesting awards from last night:
Best Actor, Comedy: Sacha Baron Cohen “Borat”
Best Actor, Drama: Forest Whitaker, “The Last King of Scotland”
Best Director: […]
Somewhere, deep down, you just knew that Kramer hated black people, didn’t you?
From TMZ.com: (http://www.tmz.com/2006/11/20/kramers-racist-tirade-caught-on-tape/)
Michael Richards, who played the wacky Cosmo Kramer on the hit TV show “Seinfeld,” appeared onstage at the Laugh Factory in West Hollywood. Kyle Doss, an African-American, told TMZ he and some friends were in the cheap seats and he was […]
