Anyone who remembers Steve Carell accepting Ricky Gervais’ award during the 2007 Emmys should be thrilled to see this reunion.
During last night’s broadcast of The Colbert Report, the Despicable Me star and host Stephen Colbert resurrected a segment they did together while still working for The Daily Show: Even Stevphen.
The heated debate - which can be viewed after jump - focused on their individual careers since leaving the Jon Stewart program…and on the “a**hole” who really held them back.

The road to the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards officially kicked off early this morning. Modern Family‘s Sofia Vergara (who received a nod) and Community‘s Joel McHale (who didn’t) were the ones who had the honor of reading this year’s list of nominees.
Although Mad Men - with 17 nominations - once again topped off all dramas, 30 Rock did
notlead the comedies. Glee did. The freshman FOX series raked in a total of 19 noms, only a handful short of the overall leader. (HBO’s miniseries, The Pacific, received 24 mentions.) 30 Rock did receive 15 nominations, though, while Modern Family followed closely behind with 14.
The August 29 ceremony - which NBC will air live on both the East and West coasts - will be hosted by Jimmy Fallon. You can see a partial list of nominees after the jump.

TV Talk: Alterations for Price of Beauty, Ratings Drops for Late Night Programs
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, Prime Time, Reality, Cable, CBS, NBC, Ratings,
-How apropos. Jessica Simpson’s The Price of Beauty will need to undergo alterations before returning. A new season will likely focus more on makeovers and less on travel.
-Will Celebrity Rehab net a former tennis star? The reality series is reportedly interested in nabbing Jennifer Capriati, who was hospitalized for an accidental drug overdose last month.
-The summer has not been kind to Jay Leno or David Letterman. The Tonight Show recently had its smallest audience since 1992. The Late Show had its lowest since 1993.
-Speaking of late night, TLC is about to introduce a new program titled Strange Sex. The six-part series profiling “mysterious conditions, unusual fetishes and the kinky science behind sexual attraction” debuts July 18.

The ladies of Hot in Cleveland made this in-character announcement to Cleveland Cavalier Lebron James, whose fate in the industry is currently undetermined. (Lebron decided to go free agent this season, leaving the basketball community in a frenzy.)
In an effort to keep the star in the city, Valerie Bertinelli (Melanie Moretti), Wendie Malick (Victoria Chase), Jane Leeves (Joy Scroggs) and Betty White (Elka Ostrovsky) made this hilarious video clip. Is Betty White’s final promise enough to keep the King of the court in Ohio?

MONDAY (7/5)
- The Bachelorette (ABC, 8pm): “Ali questions some of the bachelors’ sincerity. Indeed, two of them seem to be as focused on each other as they are on her.” Well, they did they say they came there looking for love.
- The Secret Life of the American Teenager (ABC Family, 8pm): “Amy runs into Bristol Palin in her dorm, and soon she realizes the music program is for teen moms.” Palin clearly wasn’t accepted into the program for her actual talent.
