Unless you've been in a coma for the past year and just woke up, you probably know that
Conan O'Brien is the new host of The Tonight Show. He takes over on June 1.
NBC has released the roster of guests for the first week of shows, and it's a mix of big stars, big musical guests, and one guest thrown into the mix that really sticks out. After the jump, the line-up.

Recently, I got the chance to speak with
Sam Champion, the affable
Good Morning America weatherman. We chatted a bit about
GMA's upcoming
Summer Concert Series, which is kicking off on May 22. The free concerts have moved from Bryant Park to Central Park this year, which allows for much larger audiences. So you know what that means, right? More space for screaming throngs of Jonas Brothers fans to gather in a central location this summer.
Read the interview to figure out when you need to book your trip to New York, or get the hell out of the city -- depending on your perspective.

(S34E23) Wow. Way to go, Will Ferrell. Maybe they should just bring back
Saturday Night Live alumni for season finales from now on, because this episode was spectacular. Ferrell brought back some old favorites and a slew of famous faces, from the familiar to the inexplicable, including Amy Poehler, Tom Hanks, Anne Hathaway and Artie Lange. Here are some video highlights from the evening (Hulu vids are US only. Sorry, kids... you can also watch these videos
at NBC's website).

If you want to get your grubby little hands on the soundtrack for The Simpsons movie, you'll have a few options from which to choose.
First, you can pick up the single of Green Day's version of The Simpsons theme, which will come out on July 24, three days before the movie opens on July 27. Green Day also appears in the movie.
You can then buy the full soundtrack through Fox Music's digital music service, or snatch up one of 25,000 soundtracks available in "pink donut" packaging from big box stores like Circuit City, Best Buy and Wal-Mart. The "pink donut" cases were created by Extreme Music.

Which indie darling will be chosen to accompany the inevitable series finale montage of
The O.C. on February 22nd?
Stereogum knows. The show responsible for bringing Death Cab for Cutie into mainstream consciousness has dubbed neo-folkie Patrick Park the lucky recipient of this most coveted of pop culture moments. You can hear singer/songwriter Park's "Life is a Song" on
MySpace. It will be available for purchase in July on Park's forthcoming album, and quite possibly on iTunes before that if
The O.C. has anything to do with it.
Apparently, the folks at
The O.C. weighed Jeff Buckley's "Hallelujah" and Imogen Heap's "Hide and Seek" before going with the LA-based Park's ditty. It's good to see them spread the love to a lesser known commodity. Congratulations, Patrick. You're destined for graduation mix CDs everywhere. Personally, I can't wait. There's nothing better than a tear-jerking montage accompanied by a certifiable indie hit. I give you as evidence E.R.'s Green Day "Time of Your Life" montage. TV this sappy - it has to be good.

There are a lot of great things about the internet, and unearthing crazy stuff like this is one of them. I've heard a few different versions of the
Gilligan's Island theme song over the years, including The Sweaty Nipples singing the song to the music of Greenday's
Longview.
Of all of them though, this one is the worst. Telling you it is the worst is probably not the best way to sell you on the video, but it's one of those 'so bad you have to see it' things. Whoever decided to redo the theme song was about as right as anyone has ever been in television. Take a look for yourself, the video is after the jump.

I only caught the end of the
Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards last night, but I did see it in time to catch
Chris Rock win the Wannabe Award (like a Lifetime Acheivement Award). The best part was when his daughter ran up the
stairs to be on stage with her dad. When he told the audience to 'say no to steroids', she said "no" into the
microphone. What a cutie. He also made a joke about Todd Bridges, which got some adult laughs but flew right over those
kids' heads. Other than that, I heard a lot of screaming kids. They sounded like they had fun.
Before I list
the winners, I just have to say that it's funny how kids can humble you. We like to stick our noses in the air about
'quality' television shows and actors, but kids just like what they like. Here are some of the winners:

What a night for Kelly
Clarkson! She cried when she beat out Gwen Stefani, Sheryl Crow, Mariah Carey, and Bonnie Raitt for best female pop
performance for her very awesome
Since U Been Gone rock hit. Less than an hour later, she nearly broke down as
she sang
Because of You. Later in the night, Kelly won her second grammy for best pop vocal album for
Breakaway, an album that was very close to her heart. She wrote or co-wrote half the songs on the album and
divorced her management company over control of the album. Neither of her acceptance speeches mentioned her win on
American Idol. That's a tough call. She obviously wouldn't be where she is if
it weren't for
Idol, but at the same time, she legitimized herself as a true
talent this year when she distanced herself from the competition.
Other winners:
