Conan O’Brien’s New TBS Show ‘Conan’ – VIDEOS

November 9, 2010 By Cara Leave a Comment

Most aren’t exactly rolling out the red carpet for Coco. His new show on TBS has been pimped like a ho on the stroll, but reviews are mostly falling in the ho-hum category. However, ratings are pretty good. In fact they are currently beating Leno with a 2.8 percent of households watching his basic cable debut.

Conan O’Brien premiered his new show, Conan, with guests Seth Rogen and Lea Michele. (Everyone else was busy seasoning their crepe pans.) First a sketch depicting his feud and exit from the Tonight Show reminded us he is still bitter. Perhaps rightfully so, but we get it…NBC/Jay Leno/Tonight Show bigwigs are douchebags. The skit showed Conan looking for work and trying to join the ‘Mad Men’ advertising agency, working at Burger King, as a kids birthday party clowns and finally off TBS.

Conan’s monologue was filled with the same bitter feelings and, while I love Coco, I wished he’d move on. Regardless, I still love him and his ginger pompadour. I do find it amusing that he pointed out the fact that after daylight savings time ended he is still really on at midnight.

O’Brien’s pal, Ricky Gervais, also sent in a well wishing and I was really wishing he would have been a guest.

Seth Rogen announced his engagement on the show and gave details of his proposal. Click HERE for those details. Lea Michele was Coco’s second guest. She discussed ‘Glee‘ and the now “scandalous” GQ photo spread (Click HERE for those photos).

Ricky Gervais to Host 2011 Golden Globes

April 29, 2010 By Cara Leave a Comment

I love Ricky Gervais because he is filthy mouthed beast who isn’t afraid to tell Brangelina jokes and ask Elmo if he knows what necrophilia is.

Despite his assumption that he would not be invited back to host the Golden Globes, the 2011 accolades will once again be his playground. Last year I felt he held back and didn’t get very much stage time. I am sure this year will be the same, but less overshadowed by a devastating earthquake.

Via Ryan Seacrest’s Little Radio Show:

“I suppose it is flattering, to be honest, and it was a surprise,” Gervais, 48, told Seacrest. “I had so much fun [last year]. I’m going to go all out this time,” he explains. “I’m going to make sure they’re never going to invite me back! They’re such an odd bunch of people and I can’t say no to them. It’s like I won a competition and doing charity work when I am in a room with those people.”

The 2010 Golden Globe Awards welcomed celebs with rain on the red carpet. Of course, recently tragedy wasn’t forgotten. Everyone wore a ribbon on their should to remember those lost in the earth quake that has shaken Haiti. Meryl Streep took a moment to remind herself to be grateful for her ability to send monetary help and Nicole Kidman also reminded us of George Clooney’s telethon he has put together. Maggie Gyllenhaal also gave instructions to go to the network’s website to donate.

Ricky Gervais hosted the awards. It was rather disappointing as he seemed to resort to penis jokes and NBC jabs. Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts started the peacock network jokes on the red carpet. Julia asked Billy Bush (talking head) why “NBC is in the toilet” and I am assuming she was drunk or just knows that she can say whateves because she is Julia Roberts.

Ricky Gervais to Host Golden Globes

October 27, 2009 By Cara Leave a Comment

Ricky Gervais will be hosting the 67th annual Golden Globe Awards. The show has been host-less since 1995. Which is probably why no one watches the awards themselves and simply tune in to watch Ryan Seacrest bitch about the eastern breeze messing up his hair and curtsy as Beyonce approaches to do an interview for the pre-show.

“Not only is this the biggest Hollywood celebration of the industry, which includes both film and TV, but also an environment where I feel I can get free reign as a host,” Gervais said Monday. “I have resisted many other offers like this, but there are just some things you don’t turn down.”

He has a naughty sense of humor, unabashedly talks about necrophilia with Elmo and is willing to take his beer up on a stage during the fancy-shcmancy award shows. I believe he is my male counterpart. He’s British (you know what a slut I am for the Brits) and I bet he’d eat banoffee with me and discuss the effects of Amy Winehouse’s boob job on the American economy and plastic surgery industry. Huzzah I say.

Ricky Gervais Offers Barack Obama Paris Hilton, Victoria Beckham Trade

February 2, 2009 By Crista Webster 1 Comment

If you are like me (and you should be, because I am pretty awesome), then you love Ricky Gervais. Not only is he the brilliant mind behind the American version of “The Office,” but he also spearheaded the hilarious HBO show, “Extras” after demonstrating he ended the run of the UK version of “The Office” (which, in my opinion, was even funnier than our version here in the states).

Ricky has now taken to his official blog to issue a letter to our new President Barak Obama. In the letter, Ricky reveals his disgust of the fact that Paris Hilton is currently residing in his London neighborhood while shooting her show “Paris Hilton’s British Best Friend” for ITV2.

In his letter, he proposes a ‘trade’ with our new Prez:

“Mr. President. We are not stupid. This is clearly a retaliatory strike for Posh Spice moving to LA. I know it, and you know it, so let’s cut the ‘it’s a free country’ nonsense and come to some agreement. I propose an exchange.”

Gervais continues the hilarity by suggesting him and Obama set Hilton and Beckham up in New York and switch their limos thus returning both to their native countries.

On behalf of all Americans I would like to say that we do not accept this request Mr. Gervais. You can keep Paris until she finds her best friend, or until the entire British population ends up at the free clinic getting treated for crabs. Whichever comes first. My money is on the crabs.
