• Wake Up And Smile: Sarah Palin Pinning Her 2012 Hopes On Tina Fey

  Click through for the whole story, plus the latest on Joe the Plumber NOT making out with an SNL regular, whatever the heck's up with King of the Hill, whether Jennie Garth's visiting the new Melrose Place, the sad, funny life of Johnny Carson, and how Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman took their breakup semi-public.

• The Weekly Rewind: Seriously, Is This Election Over Yet?

  Nope, not yet! TV's still all about politics -- and, on the other hand, distracting ourselves from politics -- as we'll find out when we recall the highlights of the week. We watched hot Sarah Palin on SNL, and she was funnier than the average guest host. Coming soon: Ellen Show dancer Barack Obama. Too bad one of these two will be elected soon -- we smell comedy team! (Don't forget to add this guy.) Opie Cunningham came back through time from 30-plus years ago! (To, um, tell us how to vote today.) We watched the season premiere of 30 Rock -- before it aired on TV! The Internet is cool. We heard that someone still doesn't like the looks of Dancing With the Stars' Cheryl Burke. Someone crazy. Read More...

• More Video Fun: The Funniest New Show Of The Season Might Be On The Web

  Rob Corddry from The Daily Show is doing an online medical drama spoof called Children's Hospital where he runs around in clown makeup, Megan Mullally walks around on a crutch, very funny very cute actresses make out, and nobody -- not Rob Heubel, not Ed Helms, not Ed Corddry, not Jason Sudeikis, not even Stephen Freaking Colbert -- bothered to learn any actual hospital jargon. SUCK IT HARD, SCRUBS!  Click through for the trailer. Read More...

• Video Weekend: Working for the Man

  Laughing at other people's jobs makes our own work lives seem just a little bit less crazy, doesn't it? In honor of Labor Day weekend, we thought we'd bring you opening scenes from the very first episodes of a few of your favorite workplace comedies -- from The Office to NewsRadio to, well, the other version of The Office. Have fun, and enjoy that day off! Read More...

• "Scrubs" Star Assumes He Will Have A Post-"Scrubs" Career

  We know what you're thinking. "Zach Braff is leaving Scrubs? Holy Hannah! Scrubs is still on?" Yes, it's true. Now, is this the final nail in the coffin of Bill Lawrence's undying medical comedy, which has been devouring our delicious brains for a decade and will move from NBC to ABC in the 2008 season? Depends on who they're replacing Braff with. If it's Jay Mohr or this guy, there might be hope.

• Somebody Out There Likes To Endlessly Draw Pictures Of Zach Braff

  ... and oddly, it's not Zach Braff. [via Goldenfiddle] PREVIOUSLY: Newsflash: Courteney Cox Works! “Scrubs” Is Still On! Posted Jul 11 2008, 02:30 PM by Bryan Christian with | with no comments Filed under: Scrubs, zach braff, doodling

• Newsflash: Courteney Cox Works! “Scrubs” Is Still On!

  The latest dirt on Courteney Cox has her signed on for three episodes of Scrubs, wherein she’ll play Sacred Heart’s new Chief of Medicine. Apparently Miss Cox will “ruffle feathers” in the new role. For more insight into the future of Scrubs, as it changes networks and, potentially, direction…Zach Braff’s MySpace page has a lil’ ode to/excerpt from an interview with show creator Bill Lawrence. Zach writes, “One of the many reasons I love Bill Lawrence is that the dude doesn't mince words. At a time when sound-bites have become as carefully crafted as a Martha Stewart petit four, Bill continues to tell it like it is.” We love a man who can craft a good simile. And it looks like Lawrence truly doesn’t mince words... Read More...

• Who's That Soap-Opera Guest Star?

  Clicking through all the July 4 reruns last Friday, we happened to come across something truly amazing: Snoop Dogg, acting his butt off on the ABC soap opera One Life To Live.  Now, we don't exactly keep up with the soaps, so we missed this when it first aired a couple of months ago. And it's not as if we expect Snoop, who's also guest-starred on Medium, Scrubs and Las Vegas, among others, to be choosy about the parts he takes. But if you want to see how the world's most multitasking rapper handled himself among the dorks and dweebs of Llanview, Pennsylvania, watch the video below. You'll be glad you did.   Read More...
