Until Archie Panjabi’s surprise win this year for The Good Wife , only eight people of color had ever won an Emmy in the top four acting categories for drama and comedy. It’s a sobering statistic about the racial inequality that still persists on television, and after watching the Emmys this weekend (and being mistaken for another black actress), it has Southland’s Regina Hall ready to speak her mind.

Good news and bad news, Jay Leno haters. Ratings for The Tonight Show reached an all-time low in the advertiser coveted 18-49 demographic this summer, down 22 percent from the mark Conan O’B rien set a year ago. Hooray! Ready for the bad news? Leno still had more overall viewers than Conan did over the same time period last summer, and The Tonight Show still easily defeated The Late Show with David Letterman . The moral of the story: Late night television is doomed. [ THR ]

If you’re keeping score at home — and you probably are — it has been seven years since Saturday Night Live hired a new African American cast member, an unhappy distinction that proved to be quite the hindrance two years ago when Keenan Thompson wasn’t up for the task of impersonating Barack Obama. As such, this may be good news for everyone (except maybe the soon-to-be former Obama impersonator, Fred Armisen): SNL may have found another black guy!

” Word is [Natalie Portman]’s giving a pretty swell performance Still, if it is a swell performance and it doesn’t win her the Oscar for which she is now the alleged favorite, we’ll look back on this day and think, ‘How sad–it looked as if she had a shot,’ and hope she can pick herself up and get it together to give another Oscar-worthy performance because this one will have gone down as a disappointment and she will be a loooooooooser .” Please blog more, David Edelstein !
