Betty White may be “scared to death” about her upcoming Saturday Night Live gig, but she didn’t appear that way during yesterday’s Ellen show.
During Monday’s broadcast, White admitted that she had been asked to host SNL three other times before, but she had always turned the producers down because the program is “so New York” and she’s not. So when this whole “silly Facebook thing started” and she was asked again, she was pleasantly surprised.

New Ads Promote Jay Leno’s Return to The Tonight Show
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, Talk Shows, NBC, Commercials, Video,
These new spots promoting the revamped Tonight Show encourage Jay Leno - and viewers - to “Get Back” to where they once belong.
Although the commercials offer very little as far as content, I would like to thank NBC for the reminder. I’ll have to make sure my DVR’s switched back to Letterman once March 1 comes around.

Lost Producers Not Aware of Bud Light Super Bowl Commercial
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.

Conan Envisioned for Letterman, Leno Super Bowl Commercial
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.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, Cable, FOX, NBC, Showtime, Commercials, Heroes, Lost, Prison Break, Gossip, News, Rumors,
-Seinfeld‘s Jason Alexander has signed up to be the new face of Jenny Craig. I’m not sure I want to see a bathing suit commercial in his future.
-Oscar nominee Laura Linney will star in The Big C, a new series for Showtime. In case your mind went elsewhere, that “C” stands for “cancer.”
-Former Nightline anchor Ted Koppel could be returning to his old network. ABC is reportedly hoping he’ll replace GMA‘s George Stephanopoulos on This Week.
-Is there another Law & Order franchise on the horizon? NBC is currently entertaining a Los Angeles-based version of the show.
-The numbers may be lousy, but someone’s still watching Heroes. The NBC series was the most-pirated program last year. Lost was second while Prison Break came in third.

Hanes won’t be making any more commercials with Charlie Sheen anytime soon.
The advertising campaign featuring the actor has ended, which a spokesman for the company says is “pretty standard, straightforward” when “somebody who’s in your commercial is arrested on suspicion of something of this magnitude.” He’s referring of course to the recent domestic disturbance between Sheen and his current wife, a highly-publicized and very messy bit of scandal.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Commercials, Editorial, Gossip, Video,
Is starring in a commercial with your dead best friend ever funny?
Upon seeing this new DirecTV ad for the first time, many of you out there apparently felt the same way me and my husband did: icky. Resurrecting Tommy Boy‘s Chris Farley for a commercial? Is there any scene that company won’t manipulate?
Now what if I told you that the spot was approved by both David Spade and Farley’s family? Would that change your opinion?
