I wouldn't be surprised to hear stories of Dave taking care of the Late Show staffers who don't go with Colbert, kind of like how Conan took care of his Tonight Show staffers after the NBC fiasco.

Maya will get a plum spot in NBC's May sweeps. She's hosting a one-hour variety special on Monday the 19th at 10pm after The Voice. Not sure if she's under a long-term contract with NBC but if not it'll be a fine showcase for her skillz.

I hear Craig Kilborn is available.

You Littlebrains wouldn't understand.

"I donno what chu talking about, but they-a high in everything."

Agreed…one of my favorite bands to see live, in spite of the girls who hold up the flag of the Republic of Ireland during the show because, you know, Gary Lightbody is totally from Northern Ireland.

- Have You Tried…Pants? (not the same without original "Cannonball" music bed)
- Bacon
- Froggy Jamboree
- L'il Brown Dog Food

"It works for feedin' dogs" is still my general catch-all acknowledgement of adequacy, food or otherwise.

At first I was like "Hey cool! We did a story about Merge!" (because I work at that TV station) and then I was like "Oh, wait. It's fake," and now I'm like "How or why did Penn Holderness do that bit for Merge in our studio?" (Penn is the patriarch of that "Christmas Jammies" viral video family.)

I like to refer to this actor as "Jesse P. Lemons."

How do you, of all commenters, not comment on the World Crime League reference? You're not going to get too many of those.

My TV station (I'm the Research Director for an NBC affilaite) sells the 30 minutes immediately after SNL to a preacher.  We're keeping the preacher at 1am, following that with another paid half-hour, and then finally airing the Arcade Fire special at 2am.

Oh hai Marah.  Good job scooping the people at Yahoo's Shine, who were apparently working on the exact same interview with the exact same person.  You beat them to market by a week!   Either that or they basically ripped you off and reworded your entire piece, with one little acknowledgement of AV Club: http://shine.ya…

Checking for squirrels.

It's true, and it does make a difference:  when Fred Durst sings naked, you can totally hear a dick.
