Daly To Stay On Nightly For At Least 2 More Years
2007-08-09 00:40:00 nbc has announced that they have signed carson daly to a 2 year contract extension keeping him around through 2009.personally i don't really watch his show Last Call much anymore. partly because since he lost weight he just looks kind of scary, like his head is too small for his body and he doesn't really fit in his suits. kind of like at the end of Beetlejuice when the guys head shrinks. but, that aside, i kind of stopped watching once he moved from new york to l.a. and the show started to look like every other late nigth talk show out there - with him sitting behind a desk and the chairs to the side for the guests, etc... when he was in new york the show had a much more laid back vibe. not to mention that the desk looks like a mini version of a real late night desk that the staff put together themselves.anyway, congrats to him, and he is doing well in that 1:35am time slot - according to Zap2it.com "Last Call performs better in its target adults 18-34 demographic than abc's...

Grand Slam
2007-08-07 00:46:00 i mentioned it briefly on the podcast this week (episode 49), but in case you didn't listen to the show, Grand Slam premiered this weekend on the game show network, with an episode on saturday and one on sunday. and it is great.for those of you unfamiliar with the show. it is the trivia show of all trivia shows. importing the format over from the u.k. the show has brought together 16 of the biggest winners from various games shows (Jeopardy, Millionaire, Lingo, Win Ben Stien's Money, Tic-Tac-Dough, Weakest Link, etc...) to compete to see who is the greatest game show/trivia contestant around.i thought the premise sounded great, but was really worried that it would end up being lame. thankfully that isn't the case. the format is great, with contestants going up against each other head-to-head in a tournament style elimination setting (i like the stage, the big screens, the standing in front of each other set-up...). but, rather then explaine how it looks and feels just check...

America's Actually Got Some Talent
2007-08-03 08:04:00 i was busy the last few days so i didn't get to America's Got Talent till tonight but here is what i think...i have always said i hate when the show just becomes another singing and dancing talent show rather then other talents, but...- butterscotch and cas haley are really great. cas is just such an effortless and talented singer (and unlike piers i really liked the blues number he did) and butterscotch is just incredible the way she sings and beatboxes at the same time. it is really something good.- terry fator is, and i agree with piers on this one, the greatest ventriloquist i have ever seen, he is so good and creative and funny and he does it all without moving his lips half the time. really great showcase of what the art of ventriloquism is all about.- the glamazons were really good. i like these women and i think they have better voices then they got credit for from the judges. and they just put on a good show.those are the four best without question.besides that i tho...
