Howard Stern Addresses American Idol Rumors

Share

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Rumors, Video

The media’s been going crazy since recent rumors of staffing changes at American Idol surfaced. Simon Cowell revealed weeks ago that he’ll be jumping the sinking FOX flagship, and rumor has it that he’ll reunited with Paula Abdul on his Stateside version of X-Factor. Meanwhile, the folks behind Idol are reportedly looking for his replacement - and the rumors suggest that replacement might be radio shock jock Howard Stern.

On his Sirius radio program, Stern alluded to the rumors and added (in his usual ribald way) “there’s not a better job on the planet than judging that [expletive deleted] karaoke contest.” He then went on to say that he would do the show - if they offer $100 million. I don’t think that’s going to happen, so we can all take a big, deep breath of relief now.

Sunday Ratings: Super Bowl, Undercover Boss Break TV Records

Share

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Specials, Sports, CBS, Ratings

The score may have been close for most of Super Bowl XLIV, but the game’s ratings were the best thing on TV…by far.

Last night’s battle between the Indianapolis Colts at the New Orleans Saints had 106.48 million Bud Light-swilling, Doritos-chomping sports fans glued to their TV sets. That number represents the largest viewing audience for any event in U.S. television history.

The previous record was established by the series finale of M*A*S*H. That 1983 event totaled a whopping 105.97 viewers.

Lost Producers Not Aware of Bud Light Super Bowl Commercial

Share

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, Sports, ABC, Commercials, Lost, Video

Jay Leno and David Letterman’s Super Bowl commercial wasn’t the only spot yesterday to mock some television drama. ABC’s Lost also became the focus of one of Bud Light’s many ads.

Given the similarities between the actual show and the clip, you’d have thought executive producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof were somehow involved. Well, they weren’t—but that doesn’t mean they didn’t enjoy the commercial.

Did a Reality Con Artist Trick American Idol?

Share

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Video

You watch enough reality TV shows, you’re going to start seeing some of the same faces. Not all of these repeated-realers choose to use different names and fake accents when they’re appearing before the cameras, however, and that’s why American Idol’s Nicci Nix is extremely special…or very, very dumb.

Nix originally billed herself as a Florence, Italy native and spoke with an accent (not to mention that inordinately high-pitched speaking voice) before she sang prettily for the panel to win her shot at success in Hollywood Week. But if you’ve watched a lot of Fear Factor and Making the Band, you might know Nicci by another name - another name, another birthplace, another accent…whatever. Keep reading to watch videos of a distinctly different Nicci.

Conan Envisioned for Letterman, Leno Super Bowl Commercial

Share

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, Sports, CBS, NBC, Commercials, Video

If Jay Leno is willing to share his program with Jimmy Kimmel, we shouldn’t be surprised to see him in a Late Show spot…right?

Those not distracted during last night’s game were probably caught off guard by a commercial that only lasted 15 seconds. David Letterman, Oprah and Leno all on the same couch together? WTF?

According to Late Show producer Rob Burnett, the idea for the promo came from Letterman himself. The shoot, which was done in secret at the Ed Sullivan Theatre, came together quickly within the past two weeks. Sadly, audiences missed on a possible fourth guest.

Sources say that FOX is already shopping around for a new American Idol panelist, someone to replace Simon Cowell when he jumps ship next year to work on his new X-Factor gig. Who could possibly offer enough smooth wit, harsh criticism and a charming smile to fill Cowell’s shoes on the show?
