Wedding Crashers crashes and burns
I always get depressed this time of the year because I know that along with the summer months come the end of all my favorite TV shows. In some cases, they go away forever and I am forced to replace them with lesser quality summer shows. This season, however, I received some truly happy news. Wedding Crashers has been canceled!
I am so over the so-called prank shows that pull the most harmless candy ass pranks. Shows like Wedding Crashers, Punk'd and Girls Behaving Badly are the modern version of Candid Camera. The difference is that Candid Camera did it first and in the early days of TV, it was truly groundbreaking. It is sad that fifty years later someone still thinks that practical jokes make for edgy TV.

Who wants to be a Tonight Show correspondent?
NBC has announced that they are searching for a new national correspondent for the Tonight Show. Viewers who think they have what it takes to be Jay's field reporter are encouraged to send video or DVD auditions to the show. Submissions will be reviewed by a team of Tonight Show producers and writers. And hey, if you are just too busy this week to get to making your video, no worries. According to NBC, this is not a contest and the submission period does not close. The winner, or winners, will join the long list of roving reporters for the Tonight Show, which includes Howie Mandel, Kevin Smith, Mo Rocca, Ross the Intern, and Tom Green, among others. More information on the rules for submissions, as well as some tips on making your video, can be found on the Tonight Show website.
I say they combine this with Who Wants To Be A Superhero? and send Lumeria and Major Victory to interview some nutters at a U.F.O. convention.
Tom Green gets another show... online
Tom Green may be on to something. He just got his own weekly call-in show online. Considering all the video that people are watching on the internet these days, it sounds like a damn good idea. Green will host his show from his own living room on TVMania.com, a Denver-based website, and also on TomGreen.com. It'll be mostly call-in and it sounds like he'll also play some of the goofy video bits he's been posting to his website. As for guests? Tom doesn't think so, saying, "I doubt we'll get anybody good. It's in my living room. How rinky dink is that?"Tom is going back to his roots, in a way. He started out on cable access television before getting his own show on MTV, of which I was a huge fan (Tom Green+College Students=Ratings). Internet video is the new cable access, isn't it? ANYONE can have a show online. And it's completely uncensored. Tom's new show launches on June 15.
Out of the Blogosphere
Ken Levine has a great post about the killing off of popular TV characters, and talks about how the unexpected death of Henry Blake on M*A*S*H really stunned people.- Aaron Barnhart has the press release NBC sent out, announcing that DirecTV had picked up the Sleuth Channel and its 15 million subscribers. That's the same amount of subscribers that TRIO had when DirecTV dropped that channel.
- Entertainment Weekly's PopWatch blog recounts what must have been an odd episode of Live with Regis and Kelly, with Vince Vaughn (subbing for Reege) talking about a childhood car accident, Kelly talking about her son breaking his arm earlier this week, and guest Denis Leary talking about how his dog died by eating 27 pounds of deer meat.
- Reality Blurred blog is reporting that the cast for Surreal Life 8 will include Randy "Macho Man" Savage, Phil Hellmuth, Playmate Tina Jordan, and Type O Negative's Peter Steele.
- Geek Entertainment TV has a video interview with comedian Tom Green.
Tom Green injured in fishing accident
It's hard to imagine how
someone could get injured while fishing, other than getting a hook in the mouth. But, Tom Green managed to take one
nightmare of a fishing trip. The former MTV host and roving reporter for The Tonight Show was fishing on a
rocky outcrop in Costa Rica when a huge wave hit him. It pulled him into the ocean and then slammed him back against
the rocks. On his website, Green
described hitting the wave as "leaning into a freight train". And, when he finally was able to stand, he felt
his ribs "clattering" in his chest. *Shudder*Green ended up breaking two ribs and is currently recovering at his vacation home in Costa Rica.
