NBC announced this week that following his departure from the Tonight Show in 2009, Jay Leno will remain with the network to host a talk show every weeknight at 10:00 p.m.

I don't get very excited about new television shows often, at least not before they hit the air.

For those of you who still haven't seen the digital short from last weekend's "Saturday Night Live," NBC has posted the video on its website.

I think this one might be as good as "Lazy Sunday."

NBC has yet to officially cancel floundering "Friends" spin-off "Joey," but one of its stars is already making alternate plans for the fall season:

"Joey" co-star Andrea Anders is not waiting for the ax to fall on the NBC sitcom, which is on hiatus and not expected to return for a third season. Instead, she has joined the cast of CBS' comedy series "The Class."

Smart move. Anders, who played Joey's next-door neighbor and sometimes love interest, was the one consistently good thing about "Joey." [Yahoo! News] "Joey" co-star jumps ship to CBS comedy

Taking a much needed hiatus from the blog. Of course, you already knew that... I'm still not sure when or if I'll be back for good. In the meantime, if you missed Saturday Night Live this weekend (and you probably did because the show is awful this year -- FIRE TINA FEY!), you missed out on the best sketch the show has produced in several years: "Lazy Sunday" starring Chris Parnell and Andy Samberg. Fortunately, you can now watch the video online over at YouTube. A transcript is also available at The Gothamist, but you really need to see (and hear) this one to appreciate it fully.
