Asked whether a (very) successful 2010 will make his act disingenuous, Louis CK says "Nah, life is shitty no matter what."#TCA
"Your White Swan is good, but your Black Swan needs some work Miss Oklahoma." #MissAmerica
This episode of SNL is like local TV trying to be the Daily Show.
Where can I get a direct line to "Julius"? I wanna call the FCC. I have some advice for them. #SNL
That's the FOURTH appearance from Wiig tonight already. This does not bode well #SNL
What do Cee Lo and Snooki have in common? Both make me check if my TV is set to the correct aspect ratio.
God bless Saturday Night Live, the show that is cool to watch _and_ cool to rag on. It's keeping the TWoP spirit alive in all of us.
Seriously, Miss Colorado, your tease of a tap dance to '9 to 5' gave me snark blue balls. You must release a YouTube video!
How many folks are Googling right now to see if the new Miss America ever clutched a 40 in a bag on a beach during summer vacation?
RT @crsbecker: I kind of want to tune in to Miss America, but the tweets on their own are probably even better w/o the context. // My new TV-watching philosophy. Thank you, internet. I never have to actually watch anything ever again.
The Q&A was so short. Is that so nobody says down with gay marriage or maps, such as, Iraq, South Africa ?
I'm not sure you should be smiling while you're singing "Papa Was a Rolling Stone." #AndWhenHeDiedAllHeLeftUsWasAlone#AndCrestStrips
I still can't believe that blonde girl w/ straight hair had nerve enough to sing 'Papa Was A Rolling Stone' on the #MissAmerica pageant.
Miss Kentucky is black. She'll get the Miss Congeniality Award so the white girls won't feel guilty.
Miss Arkansas's talent is ventriloquism. There was yodeling involved. I wish I was making this up. #MissAmerica
"I was going to tap dance to Dolly Parton's '9 to 5'." A #MissAmerica contestant just revealed that on live TV. Seriously.
Oh, Miss New York, that dress has to be donated to Housing Works. Dreadful.
"From the state that touches more than any of the others, but never inappropriately, I am Miss Wyoming." OH. MY. GOD.
Who wrote these intros? Miss South Carolina called her state "the home of Vanna White." Is that ALL you got?
I just sat through 30 minutes of the Miss America pageant. I hate myself a little right now.
Jobs I'd happily do: reboot Doogie Howser. Episode 1: Doogie gets a text message while performing surgery. Dilemma: Should he read the message or finish surgery? Solution: Both. He's a TEEN GENIUS so he builds a contraption involving mirrors so he can read texts and perform surgery at the same time. Final scene: Patient bleeds out while he's playing with mirrors. Doogie tweets the lessons he's learned from this.
If the Fox NFL robot wasn't a robot, people would beat the shit out of it.
How would you like it if Mr. "I've missed weddings, I've missed births, but I've never missed a Super Bowl" was your Dad?
Is there a show on TV where dull men do stupid things, and then try to hide them from physically attractive women? Eh, who'd watch...
I'm not sure CBS is putting enough commercials into the game. Come on boys, step it up. Maybe you can get them in between downs!
Television writers are the plankton of the Golden Globes ecosystem.
Bob Newhart looks way old in that NCIS promo. Clearly trying to capture Betty White's MTM veteran mojo.
Direct TV Guy: "You have a big tree in the way of your dish. But at least you have shade in the summer." Not being so hot < "Louie" & porn
Who is Raylan without the hat? RT @MattMitovich: Elmore Leonard was NOT originally on board with the hat Raylan wears in #Justified.
#TCA has ended. Whew.
Today's take-away: If Hollywood was high school, FX's John Landgraf would be valedictorian. #tca
'Finally, someone who's really watching the show!' exclaims Olyphant when a critic compares Raylan/Boyd to Hope and Crosby.#FX #TCA
Walton Goggins didn't want to play Boyd as a racist stereotype - wants him to be the smartest guy in the room. #justified #tca #fx
Olyphant: "I hate to say this, because I'd like to win awards one day, but it was really easy" to play Raylan.
Asked about people naming their kids Raylan, Olyphant says, "That's a good question. Yesterday I was talking to my 3 year old, Raylan..."
After 20 minutes, someone works up the nerve to ask Tim Olyphant a question. He's intimidatingly handsome. #Justified #TCA #FX
Margo Martindale (character address): "I'll be 60 this summer so it's great to be able to be a villain at my age." #FX #TCA #Justified
If I see a single "Eww, standalones" response to news that there'll be some in Justified S2, I will commandeer Boyd's rocket launcher.
Graham Yost says Justified s2 will have even more serialized eps, b/c fans liked them, but will still have standalone eps for new viewers.
Elmore Leonard letter praises Tim Olyphant as best actor to play any of his characters yet. #tca #fx
@JohnSolbergFX reading Elmore Leonard statement: "I think it's terrific. Last season amazed me...It's better than I could have written it.
.@JohnSolbergFX reading a missive from Elmore Leonard, who is not here, but he loves what Yost & writers have done with #Justified.#fx
I love that there's an actress named "Fiona Gubelmann." Part of me hopes it's a stage name.
David Zuckerberg calls "Wilfred" a "fever dream." A room of sick TV critics nod knowingly.
Zuckerman loved the surreality, dreamlike quality of australian original version of #Wilfred. Wanted American version to be more fever dream
Elijah Wood says his role in "The Hobbit" is very small. Tiny, even.
#Wilfred exec producer Rich Frank: "Nothing unusual here. All dogs have Australian accents." #TCA #FX
"I kind of thought of it as Harvey meets Son of Sam," David Zuckerman, ex producer/writer, who also said it's like "Fight Club."
#Wilfred is based on the Australia series but Gann says this one is quicker...and thinks it should reach a wide audience. #FX #TCA
"While the world sees a dog, he sees a man in a dog suit, please welcome Elijah Wood." It's "Wilfred" time.
.@LouisCK hates TV that only gets a "it works. It's pretty good" reaction. Says, "That's a terrible goal!" #TCA
When @JohnSolbergFX says we can do a #Louie set visit if we'd like, @LouisCK instantly replies, "They're invited to the set?!" #TCA
CK grows to hate his face and voice as he works on the show. "Once I'm editing episodes, I really want to vomit."
"I'm just a semi-interesting comedian. I'm not Brad Pitt or anything." Louis, on whether too much success might make him disingenuous.
.@louisck prefers casting comics to actors b/c they take direction better. "You can tell them 'You're fucking up the show'" w/o upsetting
"Hello. What can I do for you." Louis C.K., as he sits down on the TCA stage. Total dead pan. Very funny.
Landgraf on SONS OF ANARCHY: End of season three is end of act one if you look at the entire series as a three-act play.
Landgraf acknowledged some SOA s3 criticisms were valid, but feels it plays much better when watched all together, rather than weekly.
Landgraf notes Mad Men critical acclaim has "taken it from a dismal ratings failure to ratings mediocrity." Critics are powerful!!!!
If you're not compassionate, says Landgraf, you become cynical. (In the TV biz? Nah......)
Single most important characteristic that a network boss should have? Landgraf says combo of toughness/compassion. #fx #TCA
Landgraf points out that one of the distinctions between HBO and FX is pacing. Very true. HBO's slow build works because people are paying.
FX at #TCA: Landgraf points to TOSH.0, THE GAME and TEEN MOM 2 as part of the reason for LIGHTS OUT's soft premiere.
Landgraf on #LightsOut: maybe we should've made a series about a zombie or sexy vampire trying to make a heavyweight comeback.#fx #tca
Last day of the Death March With Cocktails. FX is up now.
At the risk of sounding hyperbolic, Sammi from Jersey Shore is LITERALLY WORSE THAN HITLER.
