Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, Cable, HBO, Entourage, Spoilers

If there’s anything we’ve learned from Zac Efron’s appearance on Saturday Night Live, it’s that he’s very good at playing himself.

In this picture from Entourage, the High School Musical star once again gives us a glimpse of what it’s like to be…Efron. (Apparently he likes to shop at at Niketown.) But how will he figure into the plot? According to a description for the show, Ari “will steal” the High School Musical star from Adam Davies.

Efron will make his cameo on September 13.

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Cable, HBO, Gossip, Video

Jerry Seinfeld has repeatedly balked at doing a reunion for the highly-popular, long-running sitcom that helped make NBC a success again…but it seems the comedian will stand in the way of Fate no longer. Seinfeld co-creator Larry David has managed to get the cast to agree to appear on his series Curb Your Enthusiasm.

It’s like 1996 all over again.

Meanwhile, a slumping economy affects the rich and famous when the production of couture gowns drops.” In other news: Us Weekly will devote an entire issue to dresses worn twice.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live, Gossip, Rumors

So how do you like your Megan Fox? Do you like her fighting off robots? Killing teenage boys? Or do you like her cracking a joke?

According to Life & Style magazine, the Transformers hottie will be the first host of Saturday Night Live‘s upcoming season. An insider reports that late-night program will give the actress an opportunity to showcase her comedic skills. “She has a lot of surprises in store for the audience,” the source claimed.

What could we possibly expect to see on that September 26th show? A digital short with SNL vet Andy Samberg is rumored to be one of the sketches.

Fox also has another project debuting shortly. Jennifer’s Body, co-starring Amanda Seyfried, opens on September 18.

Family Guy Campaigns for the Emmy

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Animation, Award Shows, Comedy, Prime Time, FOX, Family Guy, Gossip, Video

Family Guy’s Emmy clip, which dubs in new sound over footage from an episode, is already a classic. This is truly a great award campaign, though the animated comedy hardly lacks for accolades. Family Guy has been nominated in several different Emmy categories ten times, winning three.

The 2009 nomination marks the first time the series has been up for Outstanding Comedy Series, a significant achievement. The last animated series to receive the same recognition was The Flintstones.

The above video uses violence to make it’s case for why Family Guy should win, and I find it pretty effective.
