Afternoon Links As We Await The Most Awesome Night Of TV This Season
Let's see, a kickass "Survivor" - unless you prefer "Ugly Betty" or "My Name Is Earl" and "Scrubs" - followed by the first "The Office" since Jim showed us the engagement ring, followed by "30 Rock" - unless you prefer "Grey's Anatomy" or "CSI" - followed by the return of "Lost." All new for the launch of May sweeps! And that's not even mentioning "Without a Trace" or "Smallville" and the return of "Supernatural." Scripted television is back, baybee! On a night like this, that strike seems a distant memory. But we have a few hours to kill first. So here are a couple things to read...
- Roger Friedman says Jimmy Fallon will take over for Conan when Conan takes over for Jay. (Fox News)
- TV Squad says he's talking through his hat. (TV Squad)
Friedman, by the way, also has some "Weeds" dish that fans won't want to hear, way down in the same column. (Fox News)- Kathy says she picked the wrong Dunder-Mifflin week to go on vacation. (GMMR)
- An NBC source says, uh, don't worry about seeing O.J. on "The Apprentice." (TMZ.com)
- Another look at the sag in ratings post-strike. (Hollywood Reporter)
- We forgot to link to this yesterday when it was still sorta news, but Showtime has signed "The Tudors" (right) for season three. (AP)
