Bachelorgate Day 2: The Secret E-Mails!

The Morning After: Oh, You're Still On the Air?

The reviews for the first night of Jimmy Fallon’s talk show came in yesterday, many of which were not charitable.

Jimmy Fallon Thinks You Are Awesome, America

The credits of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, appropriately enough for a show produced by Lorne Michaels and starring an SNL alum, look and sound an awful lot like an SNL credits sequence.

David Simon Goes Back on the Cops Beat

This is what happens when a pugnacious old police reporter finishes his TV show and has some time on his hands. David Simon, frustrated with the reporting follow-up to a police shooting in Baltimore, followed up with the cops on his own.
