Just how far did NBC Universal go to promote The Glee Project during this afternoon’s Television Critics Association panel for Oxygen? Let’s put it this way: they hired a squad of actresses (and actors) to dress up in Cheerio-esque costumes, prance into a ballroom full of tired TV critics wielding pompoms and then do a herkie each time a question was posed to producers onstage.

Whether or not you were down for George Clooney’s somber and nearly-silent turn as a hitman looking to retire in The American (out today from Universal Studios Home Entertainment), it’s easy to understand why so many opening-weekend moviegoers felt like they’d been duped. Anton Corbijn’s film is quiet and cold and precise and so subtle that it felt like an arthouse movie. But Focus Features sold The American like it was another action-packed George Clooney shoot-em-up . But selling the sizzle and not the tofu is something that Hollywood has done since the nickelodeon days. And they certainly did it this year. Ahead, the most mis-marketed films of 2010.

You won’t have Jeff Zucker to kick around anymore. According to the New York Times ‘ Bill Carter , Zucker sent an e-mail this morning to his employees informing them that he would set down as CEO of NBC Universal when the Comcast takeover of the company was complete. “Look, I knew from the day this was announced that this was a possibility,” Zucker told Carter. “I wasn’t going to shut the door on anything.

As part of their “Education Nation” summit, NBC is granting a half-hour Matt Lauer interview on education to President Obama in the 8 am hour of Today on Monday. But that’s not the half of it: TV Newser reports the chat “will be roadblocked across various NBCU Networks including MSNBC, USA, Syfy, Bravo, Oxygen, Chiller, Sleuth, UNI HD and Universal Sports.” Please start your “Obama on Syfy” jokes now. We haven’t seen this kind of all-out NBC-networks promotion for a politician since Al Gore’s Live Earth concerts in 2007. This is the second NBC-U forum for Obama in days, coming right after a cozy CNBC hour-long session with John Harwood and disappointed Obama backers.

Michael Drummond was Project Runway ‘s reliable quipper this season, popping out Crucible jokes and cat-skinning metaphors with major aplomb. In as interview with Movieline this morning, he was diplomatic enough to declare Andy, Mondo, and even Gretchen his choices to win the season, but I wanted to know about the less-lovable parts of his Runway tenure. Below, the St. Louis native talks about the challenge that got him eliminated, Fashion Week, and remaining cool when Ivy disgraced him in front of the judges.
