Exactly 22 years ago, director Judd Apatow ('This is 40,' 'Knocked Up') wrote a script for 'The Simpsons' that was never used (which is not surprising since, at the time, Apatow had no credits and was still a struggling comedian). But now that Judd Apatow is Judd Apatow, 'The Simpsons' are producing the long lost script, which will air next year.
With 'The Office' coming to a close this year and practically hemorrhaging cast members, former castmate-turned 'The Mindy Project' star Mindy Kaling is in prime position to scoop them up. Not only does series boast occasional appearances from 'Office' vet Ed Helms, but now Helms' on-screen love and fellow 'Office' star Ellie Kemper will pay a visit as well! Guesting in the series' Christmas episode, who might the 'Bridesmaids' star play when 'The Mindy Project holds an office party?
So, remember that scathing New York Times review of Guy Fieri's new restaurant in Times Square? Remember what the Food Network star had to say in response? Well, apparently the folks behind 'SNL' tried tackling this ripe-for-parody issue on The Weekend Update, but ultimately decided to cut the segment from last Saturday's show. Thankfully, you can watch the sketch in full right here!
As eager as we are to see thee premiere of 'Game of Thrones' season 3, we love the months before promotional campaigns get underway, where every morsel of teaser from an upcoming year feels that much more tantalizing. Such is the case with 'Game of Thrones' season 3, which released a fairly vague teaser poster last week, but looks to be ramping things up with the very first teaser trailer! Are you ready for 'Game of Thrones' season 3?
While a number of NBC viewers still find themselves inside the darkest timeline, a world where NBC pushes 'Community' back to February, and slots 'Whitney's second season in with the network's increasingly three-camera lineup, it seems 'Guys With Kids' isn't going anywhere quite yet. The peacock has officially ordered additional episodes of the Jimmy Fallon-produced series, though not quite for a full-season pickup. So, how many more episodes will we see, and why isn't 'Whitney' going to be of any help?
We're not sure this mother received the memo, but late night television usually isn't for kids, and this is exactly why. Thankfully, her wrongdoing is our comedic gain!
It's official! 'Burn Notice' fans needn't worry, as while a seventh season of the long-running USA series had never truly been in doubt, the cable network has officially inked a deal for an additional 13 episodes of the Jeffrey Donovan spy series. Although, with a reduced order and certain comments from the cast, could we be seeing the final run of Michael, Fiona and Sam Axe? Could season 7 of' Burn Noitice' prove to be its last?
As expected, last weekend's 'SNL' featuring Louis C.K. offered up an even mix of laughs and groans, some sketches falling flat while others stood as tall as Abraham Lincoln's stovepipe hat. This weekend's newest outing will go back to basics however, as 'Les Miserables' star and Hollywood sweetheart Anne Hathaway picks up hosting duties for the third time, with musical guest Rihanna. So what's the one thing Anne Hathaway has that Louis C.K. doesn't, as highlighted by the new promos? Sexy, sexy hair.
Yup! Ms. Lana Kane herself, or rather Aisha Tyler, actress and co-host of 'The View' will soon be bringing her golden pipes to an upcoming episode of 'Glee,' though whether or not she'll put them to use in song is anyone's guess. It remains to be seen if Tyler's role will prove a recurring appearance or even just a one-off, but who will the 'Archer' angel play?
Yesterday, amid all the insanity of Hurricane Sandy we learned the surprising news from AMC that transcontinental railroad drama 'Hell on Wheels' would keep rolling for a third season, in spite of its mediocre ratings and lukewarm critical reception. An official airdate has not yet been set for the western series' return, but what will be different about 'Hell on Wheels' season 3? Might cast or creative depart the series?
'Boardwalk Empire' season 3 put in something of a quieter hour this week with "Ging Gang Goolie," as Bobby Canavale's Gyp Rosetti stayed out of the proceedings and Tabor Heights altogether after the tense climax of "You'd Be Surprised." But even with Rosetti licking his wounds, Gyp isn't going to stay out of the picture for long, as this week's "Sunday Best" will show off a bit of his home life! Plus, what does Eli beg of his brother Nucky in the newest clip?
