Time for a bit of news about our favorite real couple in fake news!
Daily Show correspondents Jason Jones and Samantha Bee have signed on to co-write and co-star
in a CBS comedy. Jones will star as a celebrity chef and Bee will play one of the two ladies that run his most likely Rachael Ray-esque empire. Some semblance of hilarity will ensue, hopefully.
Doing a sitcom be a departure from what
TDS fans are used to seeing from these two. I can only vaguely remember Bee's one or two, super-brief sitcom guest spots and and the only non-
TDS thing I remember Jones doing was that weird crafting battle show on Style. No, I did not dream that; there was definitely a show called
Craft Corner Deathmatch. It was extreme as it sounds, with a lot of intense hot glue and bric-a-brac.

Do you think you can come up with a good line for Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) to use on How I Met Your Mother? Here's your chance.
CBS and TV.com are having a contest to find the next Barneyism that everyone will be repeating to their friend. And if you win, the Barneyism you write will actually show up on a future episode of the show.
I've only seen a couple of episodes of the show, so the only one that I know is the "Suit Up" line. I guess that's the best known. If you think of a good one, put it in the comments below. And if you win, let us know.

It had to happen sooner or later: Quizno's has
given the boot to Baby Bob.
The talking baby has been doing commercials for the sub chain for a number of years now, never aging in that
Simpsons-characters never age sort of way (though creepier because it's a human and not a cartoon). This article at Adfreak actually reminded me exactly how long this ad had been running. Bob started online, as the mascot for Freeinternet.com, then he got his own TV sitcom (
remember?). Then he was brought back as the
spokesman spokesperson spokesbaby for Quizno's.
So now they have a new direction they're going in. Regardless of who's in the ads, I really love their Chicken Milano sub. I think I'll get one tonight. In honor of Bob.
