Watch Joe Biden Dunk Elaine On America’s #1 Married-Lesbian Talk Show
7:32AM Kyle Buchanan | We’re not exactly sure when Ellen took a complete detour into surreality, but it might have happened on today’s show, when Ellen DeGeneres asked vice presidential nominee Joe Biden to perform the charity-inspired task of throwing balls at a dunk tank. And who would be sitting in said tank, ready to be pitched into the cold water below should one of Biden’s balls hit the target? Seinfeld actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus, because why not. More »
Julia Louis-Dreyfus Joins the ‘No On Prop 8′ Cause, Courtesy of Ellen (and Wanda Sykes)
10:30AM Kyle Buchanan | We’re not sure whether Julia Louis-Dreyfus is angling for a “guest actress on a talk show” Emmy that doesn’t exist, but she’s certainly put in game performances over the past week, whether she’s enlisting in the Letterman/McCain War or stealing from Tina Fey on the advice of a mischievous Conan O’Brien. Louis-Dreyfus’s latest target was The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and she smoothly changed promotional gears to talk about the newest storyline on her sitcom The New Adventures of Old Christine, which finds her character entering into a gay marriage with Wanda Sykes to help the latter stay in the country (even though immigration is a federal issue that California’s same-sex marriage laws can’t circumvent). Naturally, Ellen had a few Prop 8-related words to say on the subject — though, Ellen? Money talks, too. [The Ellen DeGeneres Show] More »
After ‘Late Night’ Cameo, Tina Fey Nearing Goal Of Appearing On Every NBC Show
7:45AM Mark Graham | After the landmark ratings success that was the 2008 Summer Olympics, NBC was anxious to capitalise on the momentum they had built leading into the fall. However, despite all that promotional exposure, Beijing Ben and the NBC team haven’t yet been able to convert in the ratings department: Knight Rider tanked, Chuck and Life both saw their ratings dip from their 2007 premieres and The Office could only muster a third-place finish in its lovey dovey season premiere last week. However, there is a bright spot; the network has gotten big bumps in both the awareness and ratings department thanks to the white-hot star power of homegrown talent Tina Fey. While fans will have to wait until the end of the month for 30 Rock to return to the air, NBC has been satiating America’s desire to see its new Emmy sweetheart by repeatedly trotting her out during its late night lineup. She has appeared as Sarah Palin on SNL not once but twice and, last night, she made a cameo appearance along with Julia Louis-Dreyfus in a bit that can only be described as the ying to Ricky Gervais’ and Steve Carell’s faux Emmy duel yang. Watch NBC’s clear cut MVP hitting another one out of the park after the jump.
