"Weeds": Season 2
The super-intense cliffhanger of the "Weeds" second season finale still has me reeling. If you thought the first season of this Showtime comedy was impressive, you ain't seen nothing yet. I'm so glad the show continues to get recognition in the form of Emmy nominations because I think both the writing and the acting on this show are stupendous.

Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin to Host the Oscars — Together!
Earlier today I was sad to hear that Robert Downey Jr. and Ben Stiller had turned down an offer to host the Oscars together, but the biggest awards show of the year has landed an equally hilarious duo: Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin! The comedians will team up to take over for Hugh Jackman, and I'm already giddy thinking about the high jinks that will ensue. I love that we're getting two well-seasoned vets in the humor department (a la Billy Crystal), and we've already seen how great these guys are together after Steve's guest appearance on 30 Rock last season.
Are You Getting Tired of Competition Dance Shows?
So You Think You Can Dance is now in full swing, and Dancing With the Stars is nearing its season end, but it looks like there won't be any time of the year when you have to go without a dance competition show. It's just been announced that Kathy Griffin has signed on to host Let's Dance, where stars re-enact famous dance routines from pop culture. While it sounds kind of awesome, I feel overloaded with similar news, since Oxygen has just given its competition reality show Dance Your Ass Off a new season.

Ricky Gervais Is Hosting the Golden Globes — Are You Excited?
Ricky Gervais has stolen the show at the last two Emmy Awards, hamming it up and taking no prisoners during his brief stints on stage. The big laughs haven't gone unnoticed, and Gervais is slated to host the upcoming Golden Globe Awards in January.
The show hasn't had a host since 1995 (!) and I can't wait to see Gervais get an even bigger platform to showcase that signature quick wit.
