Too soon? Or just right? Either way, the Kennedy Center has announced that Tina Fey will be honored this fall with the 13th annual Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. Fey will be feted Nov. 9, 2010, at the Kennedy Center by her peers and more in the annual event …
I received an email from "Jerry & George" telling me that they're launching new "Web-only" episodes of Seinfeld on Thursday, May 27. If that's not odd enough for you, take a look at their trailer. It seems as though after 21 years of being on the TV in new episodes …
Showing that he continues to be hip to new technology, Jimmy Fallon and his NBC Late Night crew are kicking off another first for network television tonight with "Watch Jimmy with Jimmy Week." Each night, Fallon's Late Night UStream live webcast will start about an hour before the show itself …
