Jimmy Fallon Explains What a DILF Is

Jimmy Fallon isn't starring in NBC's Fall comedy Guys With Kids, but he is behind the show as executive producer and creator. The late-night host couldn't physically be at the TCA panel for the series, but he participated via satellite. Even on a screen, Fallon managed to crack up the press and make the premise for the sitcom sound adorable rather than cheesy, and he clarified — for those who were not aware yet — what a DILF is. Read on for that, and what cast members like Anthony Anderson and Tempestt Bledsoe had to say about the show.

  • Guys With Kids was originally titled DILFs and was probably changed for obvious reasons, but it didn't stop Fallon from clarifying the acronym. First he said that the inspiration for the show came from "seeing young, good-looking guys who were embracing the role of dads. DILFs. If you know what a MILF is, you know what a DILF is," he explained. Not that he needed to, and for what it's worth, I'm glad he didn't totally spell it out for us.
  • Bledsoe, who played Vanessa Huxtable on The Cosby Show, talked about returning to NBC and a network sitcom. She said she was attracted to the "positive, funny, warm" feel of the Guys With Kids script and liked that the series shows that it's "hip and cool to take care of your kids." Bledsoe plays the wife of Anderson's character, and in a cute moment, Anderson exclaimed that a bonus to working on the show is getting to kiss his childhood crush.
  • Anderson — who was asked to join the cast by Fallon because they're friends — is the only one of the three guys in the cast who is a dad in real life. He said working on the show made him want to have more kids, and it sounds like his costars Jesse Bradford and Zach Cregger are getting the hang of it. Both men said they liked the experience of having infant costars, with Cregger saying that babies can't be anything but authentic, and "after a couple of hours, your costar likes to put their hand in your mouth."
  • Fallon isn't concerned about the stigma of Guys With Kids being a multicamera sitcom, and he said that people were asking why it had a laugh track. "That's not a laugh track," he explained. "It's what happens in front of a live studio audience." And in classic Jimmy Fallon fashion, he cracked that he wants James Earl Jones to do the voice-over explaining that.

The cast of Scream 4 kept the good times rolling last night, heading from their movie premiere to an afterparty at The Redbury Hotel. Courteney Cox stuck close to her costars in the movie, like Neve Campbell, Anna Paquin, Emma Roberts, and Kristen Bell, but she also had her small-screen buddies on hand showing their support. Her friends from Cougar Town like Busy Philipps, Ian Gomez, and her shirtless and bikini-filled vacation buddy Josh Hopkins were on hand to toast Courteney's foray back to the big screen. Even Isla Fisher turned out for the bash during a breaking hanging with her baby daughter Elula.

Rihanna stepped out to do some solo shopping at Barneys yesterday, but on Monday night she was in plaid to check out a party hosted by Jay-Z at his Rocawear space in NYC. It's been a busy few days in the city for Jay-Z, after he recently gave Oprah a tour of his old Brooklyn neighborhood. While Beyonce was busy with her work obligations in Japan, Rihanna looked happy to come out and support his line. Rihanna and Jay-Z are set to team up again soon when they join Kanye to perform "Run This Town" on the first episode of Leno's new show.

Watch "K-Ville" — Right Here, Right Now

I'm very curious about the new Fox show "K-Ville," which focuses on police officers in post-Katrina New Orleans.

I'm very curious about the new Fox show "K-Ville," which focuses on police officers in post-Katrina New Orleans. I didn't completely adore the pilot, but there was enough good about it — especially lead actor Anthony Anderson — that I'm eager to check out other episodes once the show premieres next month.

The first episode will air Sept. 17, but thanks to a cool promotion, you can watch it now, commercial-free. And you even have options: For one, you can head over to the network's new Fox on Demand site. For another, you can watch the full episode right here on Buzz, as long as you do it before Aug. 31.

I highly recommend the second option, so if you want to check out "K-Ville" right now, just read more

Pilot Watch: "K-Ville"

The networks have announced their fall schedules, but which of the series will actually be worth watching?
by

The networks have announced their fall schedules, but which of the series will actually be worth watching? Throughout the summer, as I watch the pilots, I'll be posting my first impressions. Note that a lot can change before a show actually makes it to air, so these aren't comprehensive reviews, just quick thoughts on how the shows look now. Today's installment: Fox's "K-Ville."

What's it about? This story about police officers in post-Katrina New Orleans centers on Marlin Boulet, a cop whose partner deserted him during the storm, and his new partner, Trevor Cobb, who has come to New Orleans from the Army to get a fresh start.

Who's in it? Anthony Anderson of "The Shield," Cole Hauser, Maximiliano Hernndez, Blake Shields, Tawny Cypress, John Carroll Lynch

The good: Anthony Anderson makes Marlin an appealing main character, a cop with questionable morals and traumatic memories of the hurricane who always seems just on the edge of a nervous breakdown. The New Orleans details are tastefully done and revealing, and it's impressive to see a show tackle a contemporary problem whose ultimate outcome is still unknown.

The bad: So many mysteries were solved and secrets revealed in the pilot that it felt like a movie, not a show; I couldn't imagine what other stories the series could explore. The officers who weren't Marlin or Trevor seemed like afterthoughts.

Will I watch? I'll give it an episode or two, at least.
