TV Talk: Spike Orders Tiger Woods-Esque Show, Octomom Heads to The View
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Daytime, Drama, Late Night, Prime Time, Specials, Talk Shows, ABC, Cable, NBC, Syndication, Saturday Night Live, Gossip, News,
-Spike TV has ordered a pilot about a golfer (John Schneider) and his sex-crazed caddy…named Tiger. It’s not known who’ll play John’s buddy in Back Nine.
-Tina Fey’s admits her Saturday Night Live hosting gig this April will likely include a Sarah Palin sketch. At least there’ll be one funny part that night.
-Nadya Suleman will be leaving her babies behind to co-host The View next Wednesday. The noise may send the Octomom running back home.
-Meanwhile, Barbara Walters has decided that her upcoming Oscars special will be her last. Having to keep ten Best Film names straight is more than she can handle.
-Stewart Bailey, a former co-executive producer on the Daily Show, is now in charge of helping Last Call with Carson Daly. It’s a shame to see talent like that wasted.

VIDEO: SNL’s Take on the State of the Untion
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live, Video,
Last week’s Saturday Night Live opened with Fred Armisen, who has enjoyed the honor many times this season. He reprised his role as President Barack Obama to deliver his own version of the State of the Union address.
Complete with real footage, the skit was hilarious, though Armisen’s impression is by no means definitive (or even very good). What makes this clip stellar is Jason Sudeikis as Joe Biden. Just watch it to see.
