Way to go Dan! Kick CBS’s ass! I’m rooting for Dan to win this all the way. I’ll be keeping an eye on this news.

Before George Clooney became a huge movie star, he first got his recognition as an actor in the hit TV show “ER” which the show is leaving us for good on it’s final and last season ever.
Will George actually agree to appear on “ER” before the show is out? The cast and crew of “ER” are trying to get him back. Will George reprise his role as Dr. Ross for one last time?
More on it here:

I actually agree that George would be insane if he turned down the return to the show. I’m not much of a fan of “ER”, I do watch it sometimes, it is a good show.
George will return, I know he will agree to it. He’s too big for TV but I’m sure he will return to “ER” since he is a veteran of the show. He would want to see his old cast mates again before the show goes out.

The popular internet of the world of entertainment “IMDB” which is a site owned by amazon.com, just launched a free service where you view full length movies, TV shows, and much more.
Go to IMDB and check it out:
Hell yeah, that’s pretty sweet!
IMDB is one of my favorite websites, I’m always on there looking for information about movies and stuff. The streaming of full length movies and TV shows is a great idea.
They have some pretty sweet movies in the new and classic section of movies.
Did you miss the season premiere of Saturday Night Live and didn’t see the Tina Fey/Sarah Palin skit? Not too worries, they have it right on there.
Enjoy.

After 10 long years on the air, MTV’s “Total Request Live” will come to an end completely. The show started in the year 1998, it was when Carson Daly got his start in TV and now he went from that to a late night TV talk show host.
The show is planning a 2 hour special when it ends in November.
The Associated Press reports:

Booo hoo hoo hooo, I’m heartbroken. NOT! Actually, good riddance.
Just more evidence that MTV is dying.
What we need next is to take MTV TV station itself out of business forever. Then the music industry can live in peace without MTV.

Former SNL star Chevy Chase has recently seen the new SNL premiere episode and he said he was pretty impressed with Tina Fey playing Sarah Palin the Vice President hopeful. Chevy was saying he was impressed on how Tina looked and spoke exactly like Sarah Palin. He also said Hillary Clinton played by Amy Poehler wasn’t needed. He wants Tina to be much harder on Sarah Palin next time she plays her on SNL because it seems that Chevy Chase isn’t much of a fan of the real Sarah Palin herself.

While Tina Fey is a retired SNL star, I’m sure she will make another special guest appearance to play Sarah Palin again, maybe a week before election begins in November it’ll happen.

Saturday Night Live actress Amy Poehler will be leaving the show for good after 7 years being part of the cast. She is pregnant and expecting her first child soon. She’s not only leaving the show for a maternity leave, when her doctors allow her to return to work, she won’t be returning to SNL, she wants to pursue other opportunities in acting like acting for other TV shows and films for the big screen. She says it was really hard to make this decision and you have to know when to put it down.

I think I know why SNL stars leave the show to do more acting on TV and Hollywood films. Most of these actors who go on SNL, they go on SNL to help get their name out there as an actor. When their popularity rise on SNL, that’s when these actors realize they are too big and famous for the show, they want to move on to bigger opportunities.
SNL helped a lot of actors get to the big time. If there was no Saturday Night Live, then we would get no Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, Martin Short, Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, Kevin Nealon, Chris Kattan, Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler, Rob Schneider, Chris Farley, Tina Fey, etc. The list goes on.
Amy Poehler is getting too popular for the show, that it’s time for her to hang it up because she’s on her way to the big time. Congrats to Amy.

So I watched the season premiere of the new SNL last night with Michael Phelps hosting. I hate today’s SNL, the series is not as good anymore as it was in the old days, but the only reason I watched it last night was I was curious on how Michael Phelps is going to do in acting, since he never had an acting role before.
In my opinion, he was pretty bad. And like I predicted, the SNL writers gave the kid simple lines to say since he never acted before. He didn’t really talk all that much during comedy skits. If he wants to start an acting career, he needs to work on his speaking voice.
That is why actors become good actors because they have great speaking voices. Michael Phelps doesn’t have it. He should stick with sports and swimming, than trying to get fame in the entertainment media.
The only good thing about last night’s SNL was Tina Fey playing Sarah Palin with Amy Poehler as Hillary, that was hilarious. I actually laughed at the segment. In the Michael Phelps opening, the William Shatner segment was funny as well.
Since Barack Obama was supposed to be on there last night but he had to pull out due to Hurricane Ike, I’m willing to bet that Barack was originally supposed to talk to Michael Phelps from the audience in the opening skit, since Barack had to pull out, I bet SNL hired William Shatner on the last minute since he was in town.
I don’t really like SNL anymore though. I liked the older days of SNL in the 80’s and early 90’s when Adam Sandler, Kevin Nealon, Chris Farley, Chris Kattan, Will Ferrell, and all those guys used to be around. SNL is no longer the same anymore.

So I’ve been finding myself watching America’s Got Talent a lot recently. To my surprise, I am actually enjoying the show. It is actually entertaining and 10x’s way better than the crappy American Idol. Both of these shows are similar, but I actually like seeing a variety of performances on a talent show. I also enjoy the judges too, Piers Morgan, Sharon Osbourne and David Hasselhoff. A lot of the acts on the show are horrible and laughable, but they are fun to laugh at.
Nuttin But Stringz is actually a pretty cool act. I’m predicting they’re gonna win the whole thing this year.
