Kristin Chenoweth sang Enternal Flame at the end of last week’s episode of Pushing Daisies and man what an amazing job she did! Her voice as she sang the Bangles just blew me away. It still does. I know she can sing, but wow!
It is sad to think that in a few weeks we will be burning an Eternal Flame for this show that ABC didn’t believe in. So before we light the torch, say the name Pushing Daises tonight and watch it on ABC at 8p.
Maybe ABC needs to give Jimmy Kimmel Live! the 10p hour because just like NBC because they are running out of things to watch.
For about a year now Jimmy Kimmel has been trying to convince to Jay Leno not to come to ABC and yesterday all that convincing he has been doing worked because Jay announced that he was staying with NBC. In fact Jay also admitted that a disgruntled employee started the ABC rumors…Leno was that employee. Well now that Jimmy Kimmel Live! is safe, Jimmy Kimmel came clean about the great lengths he went to not to get his frenemy to work at the same network as he does. Did anyone else picture the two of them luffaing each other?
UPDATE: I don’t want to do another post about Jay Leno’s new show, so I going to post these great quotes from some really talented show executive producers about the 5 less hours dedicated to scripted television on NBC from The Hollywood Reporter.
“As entertaining as Jay is, I think it’s too bad that NBC is making choices primarily from a financial consideration vs. putting on the best possible work,” said panel moderator Peter Tolan, co-creator/executive producer of FX’s “Rescue Me.”
He and Chuck Lorre, co-creator/executive producer of CBS’ “Two and a Half Men” and “The Big Bang Theory,” asked, “Is NBC considered the Big Four anymore?”
Al Jean, the executive producer of Fox’s “The Simpsons,” joked that NBC could further enhance its standing by bringing back late talk-show maven Johnny Carson and giving him the 9 p.m. hour.
I think Al Jean gave NBC an idea, I bet they are trying to figure out how Heroes’ Suresh could give Johnny Carson a blood transfusion of Claire’s blood. Or maybe they will try to get Hiro to go back in time and stop Carson from smoking his first cigarette? Oh wait if Hiro does that we would have never had that classic moment between Don Rickles and Johnny Carson when Rickles broke his cigarette box.
Scott Clifton is finally coming back to daytime TV, but instead of returning as Dillon on General Hospital he will be playing Schuyler on One Life to Live according to SOAPnet.
He'll be playing the role of Schuyler (pronounced "sky-lar"), a Llanview high faculty member and a role which was previously announced with "One Tree Hill" alum Brett Claywell in the role. "OLTL" reconceived the role of Schuyler, so Scott was cast. Brett will still remain on the show — as a member of the Llanview PD.
Scott’s first epiosde airs on ABC on January 9th. I wish he was coming back to General Hospital instead because that is the ABC soap I watch!
Congrats to Scott! He is a really nice guy and deserves this!!!
