Are You Interested in Seeing Conan O'Brien Live?

BuzzSugar — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 12:30:16 -0800

If you've been feeling the loss of a late-night without Conan O'Brien, I have very good news for you: the funny man is coming to your town with his sidekick Andy Richter. O'Brien just confirmed this morning via his Twitter that he'll be embarking on a 30-city tour, appropriately titled "The Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour." That means if you live near Boston, Dallas, or a slew of other places (even Canada!), you can land yourself a front-row seat to see him in person as he unleashes his brand of comedy to the masses (and possibly a few jabs at NBC, too). The tour begins on April 14 in Eugene, OR, and closes in Atlanta, GA on June 14. Just in time for him to prep a return to television in September, I hope!

O'Brien commented on his decision in a statement, saying, "It was either a massive 30-city tour or start helping out around the house." I'm sure his wife is really happy with his choice.

I already checked on tickets for myself on his website, and looks like they're going fast. So tell me, are you getting your credit card out now? Or are you going to sit this one out?

Will You Miss 24 If It Gets Canceled?

BuzzSugar — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 14:30:25 -0800

Jack Bauer may not live to see another day on the small screen after all. Word on the street is that execs at Fox are ready to pull the plug on 24 since ratings are down and the show costs so much to produce. The good news is that the 24 movie is still on the table, which means we don't have to worry about Jack kicking the bucket at the end of season eight.

I've run hot and cold with the series over the eight seasons, so I wouldn't be totally heartbroken to see the end of 24. How many times can Jack Bauer really escape death anyway? What about you - will you miss 24 if it gets canceled?

Betty White Confirms She's Coming to Saturday Night Live

BuzzSugar — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 12:06:23 -0800

Cue the intro: it's Saturday Night Live with Kristen Wiig, Andy Samberg, and . . . Betty White?! After much speculation (and an entire Facebook campaign) about whether the comedy vet would appear on the show, White has confirmed that she will indeed be popping up in a future episode. White did not give details as to when she'll be on the program or in what capacity (is she making a cameo or hosting?), but rumors previously swirled that she might be added to a Women in Comedy special to air later this season.

I, for one, can't wait to hear more on this development. White is 88 years old, but if her Snickers Super Bowl ad was any indication, she still has lots of laughs in her. Plus, she's having a great year - remember, she also earned the recent SAG award for lifetime achievement.

Perhaps the SNL gang could do a Golden Girls spoof? Bring on Fred Armisen as Blanche!
