What’s On: 30 Rock Restages ConanGate with Janitors

Earlier this month while promoting Date Night overseas, Tina Fey spilled the beans on an upcoming 30 Rock episode that would boldly parody the very late night disaster that shock 30 Rock ‘s network just months before. Tonight, Fey & Co. deliver with that eagerly-awaited episode “Khonani” as well as a bonus installment at 8:30 PM. An hour of new 30 Rock should counteract everything unfunny happening on tonight’s Marriage Ref , right?

Stephen Baldwin Needs Your Donations, Right Now, Because of God

Until recently, the most cringe-inducing thing I had read in quite some time was The Onion’s new, spot-on article, “Sad Sack Purchases Screenwriting Software” (“Norgren, whose script ideas were literally too sad to print here, said he likes films with smart dialogue and characters who overcome obstacles”). Then, I stumbled across the website The Restoration of Stephen Baldwin .

3 Suggested Cures For Ricky Gervais’s Career Rut

At the risk of starting an unnecessary bout of Ricky Gervais backlash (though, hey, if it’s good enough for Tina Fey…), something about his career choices of late have been a tad — how to put this mildly? — underwhelming . And with the announcement of his new series Life’s Too Short (yet another meta look at show business, but this time from the point of view of real-life dwarf Warwick Davis) coming so soon on the heels of his UK film release Cemetery Junction ( The Office in the ’70s), it seems clear that he’s in a rut of repeated ideas. What can Gervais do to break this streak of diminishing returns? Here are some suggestions:

Gabourey Sidibe’s SNL Promos: Love Letters in the Samberg

New promos have been released for Gabourey Sidibe’s hosting gig on Saturday Night Live this week, and they accomplish a number of things: 1) They stave off Howard Stern’s pesky doubts about her future . 2) They prove this show could be fun — unlike, say, last week’s episode , and 3) They pair Sidibe with Andy Samberg and reference Precious in a fun way, even if they neglect to mention the Kabletown title Fresh-Ass: Based on the Novel Tush by Assfire.

American Idol Recap: Who ‘Inspired’ Us Most?

Last night, American Idol battered us with selections from its most syrupy set list yet: Inspirational Songs. Run, Bowersox! Rod Stewart wouldn’t touch half of this nonsense in a “Great American Songbook” package, and lord, that says it all. Still, we got seven performances, seven consultations with the catatonic Alicia Keys, and one obvious winner. Our rankings and video after the jump.

Late Night Highlights: Jay Goes Undercover and Jon Stewart Attacks Fox News

Twitter is literally ruining late night. Case in point: last night’s Late Show with David Letterman , where guest Demi Moore used her first segment to explain Twitter (before reading a text message aloud from her husband). For her second segment, the Joneses star staged a Twit pic with the host. Forget the fact that Moore pulled the same schtick over at the Tonight Show last week. This social networking phenomenon is breeding a late night trend that must be stopped. The proof, as well as the actually entertaining highlights you missed last night while taking your last holiday hit , after the jump.
