For a cynic like Joel McHale, hosting “The Soup” is not exactly difficult. “Television is easy,” he says. “It’s just me reacting.”

For a cutup like Joel McHale to label the upcoming fourth season of "Community" as "weird" is a bit of an understatement.

"Community" -- which has poked fun at zombie films, action movies and even Christmas specials during its three years -- will turn its mocking eye at "Glee."

You'd have to really love birding as much as the guys here do to enjoy the strained buddy comedy "The Big Year" to its fullest potential.

And a new season begins.

“The Jay Leno Show” is getting a week’s jump on the official start of the fall season.

LOS ANGELES - "Glee," the spunky TV musical comedy about high school misfits and the teachers who shepherd them, was a top Emmy nominee Thursday with 19 bids, including for best comedy series and stars Matthew Morrison and Lea Michele.

‘Ted” follows a similar formula to other buddy movies of its kind. There are two major things that distinguish the film though. For starters, “Ted” is a really funny movie, producing just as many laughs as “21 Jump Street” from a few months ago. Secondly, one of the buddies in question is a living teddy bear. The teddy bear is not merely a product of someone’s imagination like in “Calvin and Hobbes.” He’s literally a walking, talking stuffed animal that has been casually accepted into society.

A teddy bear who smokes pot, parties with hookers, beds pop stars and spews profanity in a New England accent as thick as chowdah?

Maybe you don’t know Howard Stern as well as you thought.

Perhaps the so-called “golden age” of television is almost over, but it doesn’t mean quality was lacking in 2011.

Shane isn’t crazy.

Hollywood's new age of realistically raunchy, female-driven romantic comedies takes a step backward with "What's Your Number?", a dollop of forgettable fluff that's as dull and predictable as they come.

Pasadena, Calif. - Despite having one of Comedy Central's most popular programs with the Internet-mocking clip show "Tosh.0," Daniel Tosh can't pinpoint his appeal.

The new year is right around the corner, but before most of us can ponder lofty resolutions, we have to decide how to ring in 2010 - hotel ballroom or house party? Tucked quietly into bed or yodeling "Happy New Year!" sitting backwards on a mechanical bull?  More events  |  Video  |  Fire ban  |  Send us your photos
