'The Internship' star Vince Vaughn's recent 'SNL' hosting gig might have been a mixed bag of cobras, Vaughn not having hosted the late-night sketch comedy series in about 15 years, but the newest host revealed during the airing is more than enough to have us excited.

'Twin Peaks' Rumor: Is David Lynch Crafting a Revival?

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Wed, 02 Jan 2013 19:59:20 +0000

Once upon a time, Agent Dale Cooper investigated the paranormal goings-on of a sleepy suburban town, and coffee and fire-walking were the water-cooler chats that got TV fans going. We're talking of course of the legendary 'Twin Peaks,' which some years ago went down in TV history for its shockingly bizarre, and tragically-truncated series finale. Now, rumblings that series creator and eccentric director David Lynch might be working on a 'Twin Peaks' revival for NBC, but is there any truth to the rumors?

Why Didn't HBO or NBC Want 'The Walking Dead'?

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Thu, 18 Oct 2012 23:45:06 +0000

In the past, we've heard about networks passing up some great dramas now and again, like when 'Breaking Bad' almost went to FX, before landing on AMC as the Emmy-winning bad-ass drama we all know it to be. But did you know that before AMC scored even bigger with Robert Kirkman's 'The Walking Dead,' HBO and NBC were in the market for the zombie-thriller as well? What made them pass on something that's become such a cultural phenomeon?

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Wed, 10 Oct 2012 22:45:31 +0000

Alright, so 'Saturday Night Live' had a bit of a misfire this past weekend, as the majority of Daniel Craig's sketches fell flat. They don't train super-spies to be funny, after all. But while the NBC sketch comedy series' 38th season may have broken its hot streak after Seth MacFarlane and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, 'Up All Night' and former 'Married with Children' star Christina Applegate is here to get us back on track. And it only took 19 years!

NBC Skips 9/11 "Moment of Silence" for Kardashian Interview

Nick Romano — Tue, 11 Sep 2012 20:37:43 +0000

As if we needed another reason to hate the Kardashians...

At 8:46 a.m. on Tuesday, September 11, most national news outlets took a break from their regular programming to air a special "moment of silence" from New York City and Washington D.C. to honor the victims of 9/11. We say "most" because, as it turns out, not everyone was a participant. While FOX, CBS, ABC, CNBC and MSNBC went quiet at this time, which was the moment 11 years ago when the first plane hit the Twin Towers, NBC continued on with the 'Today' show, which just so happened to feature an interview with Kris Jenner of 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians.'

Well, $#*!.

Blake Shelton To Judge The Voice Tonight on NBC

Cefus — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 14:18:03 +0000

Blake Shelton says he's heading into the new NBC reality series "The Voice" with an open mind.

Blake says he'll pick his team based on the contestants' vocal abilities, not the material they perform. He told "Parade" magazine, "I think people are going to expect me to pick the first guy that steps up here and sings a George Strait song. I may, if I think he's a great singer, but I may also pick a girl who comes up here and sings an Aretha Franklin song."
