Filed under: Other Reality Shows, Programming, OpEd Got a press release from Bravo the other day that says they've not only given the green light for a third season of Shear Genius, they also have a new reality show coming up titled Double Exposure. I'm not even going to tell you what world the show...

In a nice stroke of NBC corporate synergy, radical-left MSNBC host Rachel Maddow appeared Tuesday night on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and when the topic turned to Rush Limbaugh, Maddow insisted that it’s one thing for Rush to oppose Obama’s socialist agenda before it passes, but once it bec...

Kicking off his first night permanently taking over for Jay Leno, Jimmy Fallon's first night as regular host for the late night talk show was "typically stiff," according to a critic for the Hollywood Reporter."He tried too hard, stumbled over his punchlines and struggled to make Robert De Niro... ....

Not that Jimmy Fallon won’t do well in the 12:37 time slot; he will probably do quite well for a while, as everyone is anxious for something new at that time.

Way back in October, people were already saying that NBC's 30 Rock had exhausted its "Yes it's a product placement, but it's also a funny storyline!" justification. Oh, how wrong they were. Mmm, McFlurry! This week's episode featured Alec Baldwin and Salma Hayek sexily purring over the greatness of ...

A number of notable talk show hosts made the controversial choice to cross picket lines and not grow out a strike beard during last year's WGA strike, Jay Leno and Ellen DeGeneres among them.
