Hot Rumor: Ryan Gosling to Star in 'Beauty and the Beast'? Posted: Industry scuttlebutt can get a little imaginative, but this rumor is too tasty to pass up. The Tracking Board, a Hollywood insider site, posted that Disney has offered Ryan Gosling the role of Beast in their live-action version of "Beauty and the Beast." It was just revealed Emma Watson has signed on for the role of Belle, and Bill Condon has been attached to direct since last summer, so it looks like pre-production is getting into gear. If there's any merit to the story, it will be interesting to see Gosling return to his more Disney-friendly roots. The baby goose has been doing much edgier fare for the past few years, from roles in Nicolas Winding Refn's "Drive" and "Only God Forgives" to his directorial debut "Lost River." We know he has leading man charm oozing out of his ears, and yeah, he can definitely sing and dance, so he would be a great fit for the role. Plus, while we totally respect his indie edge, well, it would be great to see him get swoony on the big screen once again. We'll be keeping our eyes and ears open for more on this one!

Chris Pratt and Chris Evans Show How to Lose a Superbowl Bet With Class Posted: Now, this is how to be a superhero. Chris Pratt and Chris Evans made a friendly Superbowl wager last weekend, with Pratt in favor of the Seahawks and Evans rooting for the Patriots. They bet that if their team won, the other would dress up in his superhero garb and visit a children's hospital in that team's respective city. In addition to raising money for both Seattle Children's Hospital and Boston's Christopher's Haven, the two Chrises have decided to go ahead and make good on both parts of their bet. Earlier today, Pratt and Evans visited Christopher's Haven, a non-profit that provides housing to the families of children being treated for cancer at Boston-area hospitals. As per his bet, Pratt is dressed as Star-Lord, much to the delight of the kids and their parents. The dynamic duo is planning to do the same for Seattle Children's Hospital, with Evans as Captain America. Check out the pictures on Chris Pratt's official Facebook page, as well as Christopher's Haven. [VIa ABC] This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now

J.K. Rowling's 'The Casual Vacancy' Will Hit HBO in April Posted: "The Casual Vacancy," the mini-series based on J.K. Rowling's adult mystery, will land Stateside on HBO in April. The three-part show will premiere on BBC One on February 15. In the meantime, there's a little teaser trailer to introduce us to the quaint British town of Pagford. It all looks veddy proper and jolly indeed, but naturally there are all sorts of grown-up, non-wizard-y secrets lurking just below the surface. However, it probably doesn't help that Dumbledore is part of the ensemble cast. Just saying. It also stars Rory Kinnear, Emily Bevan, Julia McKenzie, Keeley Hawes, Monica Dolan, and Abigail Lawrie. The adaptation was written by Sarah Phelps, who also penned scripts for "Great Expectations," "Camelot," and "EastEnders." "The Casual Vacancy" was J.K. Rowling's first novel outside of the "Harry Potter" series. Her second, "The Cuckoo's Calling," was released under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith, although soon enough the author's real identity was revealed. Check out the trailer below.

Seth Rogen, Zac Efron, and Rose Byrne Return for 'Neighbors 2' Posted: What's worse than living next door to a frat led by Zac Efron? Living next door to a sorority, apparently. In "Neighbors 2," Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne will reprise their roles from "Neighbors" as harried suburbanites Mac and Kelly Radner, but instead of fighting with Teddy (Efron) and his host of bros as in the first movies, they get the frat brothers to help them put the kibosh on their new neighbors' sisterly shenanigans. Writers Andrew Jay Cohen and Brendan O'Brien and director Nicholas Stoller will also return, because why not? The first "Neighbors" was unique in that it was an original property (i.e. not based on a comic book, toy, franchise, etc.) that still made buckets of money. And, it looked really fun to make. We can only hope that Cohen and O'Brien will take some inspiration from the insane emails from sorority sisters that have been posted on sites like Gawker and Jezebel. (Beware of some seriously adult language.) We can't wait to see who they cast as the leader of the pack.

Ian McKellen Is Adorable as an Old Sherlock Holmes in 'Mr. Holmes' (VIDEO) Posted: What happened to Sherlock Holmes after he retired from the private dick biz? Did he ever retire? The upcoming movie "Mr. Holmes" catches up with Sherlock as a 93-year-old man who's more interested in bee keeping then solving crimes. At the prodding of young Roger, the son of his housekeeper Mrs. Munro, Holmes reflects on his early years, why he retired, and one last unsolved case. Although "Mr. Holmes" is billed as a mystery, it looks like it will tug a few heartstrings too. After all, who can resist Ian McKellen as an elderly gent contemplating his mortality? The film reunites McKellen with his "Gods and Monsters" director Bill Condon. Incidentally, Laura Linney, who plays Sherlock's housekeeper Mrs. Munro, was in Condon's film "Kinsey." In any case, although Condon's come to be more famous for his work on the "Twilight" flicks, "Mr. Holmes" looks like a promising venture. "Mr. Holmes" is due out this summer.

10 Critically-Despised Movies You Didn't Know Were Oscar Nominees Posted: The 2015 Oscars are just around the corner, and this year's nominees (in even the smaller categories) all mostly films whose reviews were on the positive side. But that isn't always the case. There are some movies that time forgot but who can claim an honorary distinction -- movies you would never, ever imagine were actually nominated for an Academy Award (and what's more -- some of them won). So take a drunken stumble down memory lane, because all of these movies were indeed nominated for Academy Awards, whether you wanted them to be or not.

5 Things to Know Before 'The Walking Dead' Returns Posted: By the time "The Walking Dead" Season 5 returns on Sunday, February 8, 2015, more than two months will have passed since the dramatic events of the midseason finale. There's a lot to look forward to in the eight episodes to come, including more characters and content from the comic books, and - of course - the dramatic fallout from Beth Greene's (Emily Kinney) death in the Grady hospital storyline. Here are five things to keep in mind as we approach the second half of AMC's zombie apocalypse juggernaut. 1. Episode 9 Called One of the Best Episodes in "TWD" History Season 5, Episode 9 is the next new episode coming our way in February, and it's meant to be visually unique, very emotional, and so good it's been dubbed the best. We may feel differently - it may end up being a polarizing episode - but the praise comes from people involved with the show who don't use those superlatives every week. Special effects master Greg Nicotero directed Episode 9 -- as well as several other episodes - and back at Walker Stalker Con Atlanta, Greg said he believes Ep 9 is the best episode the show has ever done. Andrew Lincoln (Rick Grimes) told Entertainment Weekly pretty much the same thing, adding in a new EW radio interview that Episodes 9 and 10 are two of his favorites, and this second half is his favorite ever. After the Season 5 premiere, Chad Coleman (Tyreese) talked to Forbes about the rest of Season 5, teasing, "I never thought I'd say there's actually a better episode than 'The Grove.' But there is." He may have been talking up Episode 9, too. And considering Season 4's "The Grove" (the Lizzie/Mika "look at the flowers" ep) is on many fans' best lists, it's safe to say you don't want to miss what happens next. Warning: Major comic book spoilers referenced ahead. 2. Noah's Trip Home May Lead to Alexandria -- and a "Brand New Show" Rick's group needs a new mission, and AMC already revealed it when posting the first two minutes of Episode 9. The new goal is to get Noah home to Richmond, VA, because that's what Beth wanted and since the place had walls when Noah was there last (over a year ago) it's a potential sanctuary for our group. What if Richmond is a bust? They'll keep going - and they'll probably keep going to Alexandria, VA, courtesy of a new character who'll introduce our crew to the kind of safe zone they hoped to find back at Terminus. Showrunner Scott Gimple has said Season 5 will be like a "brand new show" in the second half, when everything changes. It won't happen right away, but after the first couple of return episodes, we should start hearing about the Alexandria Safe-Zone, a major location in the comic book series. AMC's Episode 11 synopsis references the group meeting a "friendly person" and that should be ASZ recruiter Aaron. The Episode 12 synopsis seems to place them at the Safe-Zone - and since Rick is still there in the current timeline of the comic - years from this point in the story - get used to the place. It's home. First two minutes of Episode 9: 3. Rick Grimes Will Lose His Hair There should be a mini time jump toward the start of Episode 9 to take our group from Georgia to Virginia, so we don't have to follow them every step of the way, and part of that is shown through Rick's increased beard grown. However, actor Andrew Lincoln was spotted with a new look during back-half filming, and it was noted by all that he was clean-shaven like Rick hasn't been since Season 1. What gives? Andrew joked to The Hollywood Reporter, "Either I'm not in the show anymore or there's a flashback where I found a razor." Or, more likely, he finds a razor at the Alexandria Safe-Zone, as he did in the comic, and he cleans the hair slate when he gets there as a sign of civility and moving away from the brutal existence they've endured on the road. Based on a behind-the-scenes video, we know Rick will be clean-shaven in Episode 12, which is also when AMC's synopsis heavily hints to the group struggling to fit in at Alexandria. 4. Morgan Will Catch Up ... Eventually Morgan Jones' (Lennie James) return in the Season 5 premiere got a lot of attention, but his second return was overshadowed by Beth's dramatic death. Don't forget about Morgan, though, since comic book writer/executive producer Robert Kirkman said they have "big plans" for the character, and showrunner Scott Gimple said everything we've seen of Morgan so far "is absolutely leading somewhere." At the end of the midseason finale, Morgan saw the map Abraham (Michael Cudlitz) left Rick, showing the route to D.C. Morgan is still far behind Rick's group in the timeline, but a time jump in the second half may give Morgan a chance to catch up. Don't be surprised if he pops up at the Alexandria Safe-Zone by the finale. That's just a guess, but Morgan is part of the group at the Safe-Zone in the comic, and actor Lennie James was spotted at the Season 5 wrap party at the end of filming. And it's not like Morgan has anything else to do but follow his BFF all over the South. (Morgan vs. Daryl - who will get Rick's final bromance rose?) 5. There Will Be Two Dozen Main Characters If you thought the cast was big before ... just wait! Andrew Lincoln told Entertainment Weekly, "We also introduce a lot of new characters in this back eight, and Scott [Gimple] and the writers have done a tremendous job of servicing maybe 24 principal characters. It's been an astonishing feat from their end as well." So far only two new cast names have made the press rounds - Ross Marquand and Alexandra Breckenridge. They are rumored to be playing comic book versions of Aaron the Alexandria recruiter and Jessie Anderson, an Alexandria resident. If they follow the comics, there will certainly be a lot of personality clashes and some new "villains," but also new friends and the potential for romance. Rick isn't getting all cleaned up for nothing! That said, this is "The Walking Dead" and we know more deaths are coming, possibly soon. So as we welcome new faces, we'll have to say goodbye to some others, however much it hurts. It's the circle of life! What are you most excited to see when The Walking Dead returns?

J.K. Simmons Facts: 11 Things You (Probably) Don't Know About the 'Whiplash' Star Posted: J.K. Simmons. Up until recently, you probably didn't know his name, but there's little doubt you've seen him, well, just about everywhere. Simmons's work ranges from TV to movies to commercials to theater (to even video games) and the actor blends in seamlessly in every role he takes. The ability to transform himself from part to part makes Simmons proud, but it's also partly why few knew his name until now. His recent performance in "Whiplash," the acclaimed indie starring Miles Teller, has put the spotlight onto Simmons -- and numerous honors to go along with it. We'll just have to wait and see if he takes home the Oscar. From his work as an iconic candy to his life-paralleling role, here are 11 things you probably don't know about J.K. Simmons.

'Dracula Untold' Star Luke Evans on Where the Universal Monsters Are Headed (EXCLUSIVE) Posted: Earlier this week, "Dracula Untold," the 2014 epic from Universal and Legendary that starred Luke Evans as the war-torn leader forced into making a very literal deal with the devil (and turning into the famous bloodsucker we know so well), was released on home video platforms, including digital download. To make the occasion, Universal flew a bunch of journalists out to Romania to walk around ancient castles from the era of the real-life historical figure, Vlad the Impaler. I, however, was not one of those journalists. (When your invitation is delivered via bat, it's easy to see how it would get lost in transit.) So instead we got on the phone and spoke to the very charming Evans. During the conversation, we talked about whether or not any previous big screen incarnations of Dracula inspired his performance, what the special features on the Blu-ray will offer fans of the film, where his character is going in the newly constructed Universal Monsters universe and whether or not he's still starring in "The Crow." Moviefone: Did you take anything either from the original novel or from any of the other Dracula performances? Luke Evans: Some of my favorite films are Dracula movies. "Bram Stoker's Dracula" is up at the top. But because of where we start this story and the fact that it's an origin story, which had really never been put to film before, I didn't use anybody else's Dracula performance or story to influence it because it felt like we were doing something completely new. You're also not dealing with the vampire at the beginning of the film, you're dealing with a human. He's the ruler of a very small kingdom in eastern Europe and a man who is fighting for the lives of his people and his kingdom. We all felt a very real sense of freedom to depart from the Dracula films that had been made and also the Bram Stoker story because this was several hundred years before he was even born. Was that a guiding principle throughout the production? To do something that hadn't been done before? Yeah definitely. I think there are enough vampire/Dracula movies out there. Vampires are a huge fascination and audiences love them but what we were trying to do was tell a different story. I think a lot of people who went and saw the film were shocked and excited by the fact that it wasn't just a straightforward Dracula movie. It was a powerful love story between this man and his wife and how he fights for it and it had a powerful, emotional core to it. I thought that was interesting and people were quite surprised by it. The movie went through some pretty radical changes and now with this Blu-ray you're able to give people a sense of what it was. Are you excited for people to see that stuff? Absolutely. There was a lot of work in every film and stuff gets cut and everybody feels a little sad to lose the work because you think about those hundreds of people who were on set that day or for that scene and so much time, effort, money, and creativity and building of sets and costumes and make-up and special effects... These are things that have to go into every single scene and when they're cut, you're like, "Oh my god." That's what's great about DVDs like this one -- we've really gone into depth with deleted scenes but we've also given people back story so they can see how we made those huge battle sequences. We had cameras on set all day long filming B-roll and doing little interviews here and there explaining what was going on and that's why we did it. I think they're really interesting. I love watching the behind-the-scenes stuff and bonus features. Peter Jackson is a huge supporter of it. We had people filming us for a year and a half and it's cool because sometimes you watch the movie and if you like the movie you want to see how it was made. It's going to be fun. Would you like to see an entirely different cut with the stuff reinserted or are you pretty happy with how it turned out? I'm pretty happy. I think the story works well as it is. I would be intrigued to see how those scenes would work and interact with the other scenes if they were put back in. But maybe that's just me being inquisitive. Do you know anything about where your character is going? We see you in present day at the end of the movie and we've heard about the Universal Monsters universe. Do you know what your next outing will be? I sort of do, very loosely. But obviously it is so under wraps that to talk about it would not be good for me or good for anybody, really. It's exciting and the wheels are in motion and it's cool to think about Dracula coming back in a different film and whoever he comes back with... The plans are huge and the ideas are massive. Is Dracula your favorite Universal Monster? Oh, without a doubt. He's the oldest and the best. He came to our screens in 1932. And he's still around 100 years later. He's a cool dude. Are you still going to be The Crow? I'm not sure. Scheduling and date-wise it's becoming a little complicated. It's been pushed back quite a few times. Right now, I have other things ready to go and that's what I'm going to be doing. If "The Crow" finally gets going and all the stars align, maybe I will. But right now: no.

Should 'Saturday Night Live' Outlast Lorne Michaels? Posted: If you need any further proof that "Saturday Night Live" has lost whatever edge it once had, there's the news that Sarah Palin is planning to appear on the show's 40th anniversary special, airing Feb. 15. Remember, just seven years ago, Tina Fey's impression of the then-vice presidential candidate was widely credited with losing the election for her and John McCain. Since then, in speeches and Facebook posts, Palin has not been one to let a personal grievance slide. And yet, here she is, returning to the "SNL" studio at 30 Rock. This is more than just being a good sport or burying the hatchet; it's an indication that she doesn't consider whatever satirical softballs "SNL" may lob her way to be any kind of a threat. Maybe there's no such thing as bad publicity, but clearly, no prominent person, not even one as polarizing as a partisan politician, is afraid of being mocked on "SNL" anymore. The show's current lack of edge is a feature, not a bug. So suggests Lorne Michaels, who launched "Saturday Night Live" 40 years ago and has produced it for all but five of those 40 years. In a recent interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Michaels cited a "Wayne's World" sketch featuring Madonna in bed playing a game of "Truth or Dare" with Wayne (Mike Myers) and Garth (Dana Carvey) that he ordered toned down because it seemed too risqué. It was the early '90s, and the Baby Boomers who had championed the show back in 1975 as the comic voice of their generation were now squirming over trying to watch "SNL" with their own kids, Michaels recalled. "So it morphed into a family show without having to compromise that much, frankly," Michaels told the Reporter. Michaels also noted that, unlike, say, IFC's "Portlandia" (which he also produces), "SNL" is a network show that has to please a much broader demographic in order to please NBC and the show's sponsors. "The thing that I always find difficult about criticism of the show is that we're broadcast, which means there are people who like us in all 50 states," he said. "I'm incredibly proud of the show 'Portlandia' that I do, but it's designed for an audience that just wants that and loves that." That he has tried to make "SNL" a family-friendly show that panders to a broad audience is is a rare admission for Michaels. For 35 years, critics have complained that the show is not as funny or biting as it was in -- well, pick the era of your choice: the first five years, starring the original cast; the Eddie Murphy-Joe Piscopo period in the early '80s, the Dana Carvey-Mike Myers period at the turn of the '90s; the Adam Sandler-Chris Farley early '90s; the Will Ferrell-dominated late '90s; the Tina Fey-Amy Poehler era in the early 2000s, or the Andy Samberg-Kristin Wiig period of recent years. This criticism is not entirely fair, and Michaels' response has always been that the show keeps churning and finding new talent and producing brilliantly funny ensembles every few years. Indeed, the fact that everyone has their favorite "SNL" period seems to bear out Michaels' defense that the show has been a lot more consistent than its detractors would admit. Still, there was a time, which most viewers are too young to remember first-hand, when the show was truly considered dangerous -- so dangerous that some NBC affiliates in major markets wouldn't air it. Michaels, then 30, assembled its cast largely from the ranks of the National Lampoon's live stage and radio shows of the early '70s, sketch comedy that, like the magazine, made fun of both the stodgy cultural politics of the older generation and the facile counterculture of its own peers. Mostly, "SNL" made fun of what both groups had in common: a worldview thoroughly defined by the banality of television. This was the first group of TV sketch comics who'd grown up on TV, and they seemed to see every possible satirical subject in terms of how TV would convey it . Whether they were making fun of politicians, media figures, or suburban families, the late-night TV sketch players of "SNL" were biting the hand that fed them. No wonder they were dubbed the "Not Ready for Prime Time Players." Today, of course, "SNL" is safe for prime time, as NBC has proved throughout the current anniversary season by airing reruns in prime time on Saturday nights an hour and a half before the new episodes air at 11:30. Sure, part of this is a measure of how much the envelope has expanded over the past four decades in terms of the subject matter permissible in family-hour TV. Still, watching those reruns makes you wonder what could be so dangerous about material reserved for the 11:30 hour if it can be shown a few weeks B later in primetime? Certainly, the 40th anniversary show on the 15th is more likely to fill its prime time slot with self-congratulation than provocation. As veteran TV-industry reporter Bill Carter notes, the Michaels of four decades ago used to mock an even older NBC late-night comedy institution, "The Tonight Show," as safe and dull; today, he's the producer of "The Tonight Show," starring his protege, Jimmy Fallon. If we accept the notion that, after 40 years, Michaels has the show down to a science, that the writing and performing staffs are as talented as ever, then why has the show become so safe? Part of it is that any show that sticks around long enough becomes respectable out of sheer longevity. But part of it is that Michaels has aged, too. He's no longer the iconoclast he was at age TK, and who would expect him to be? It's no wonder that he suggested in the Hollywood Reporter interview that maybe the show shouldn't outlive his tenure. Asked if the show should go on without him, he said, "I don't know," then added he has no plans to retire. He followed that with his remarks about "Portlandia," illustrating the notion that, in an age of niche demographics and fragmented taste, he wasn't sure how much longer he could succeed at pleasing the broadest possible audience on "SNL." Two of "SNL"'s most illustrious alumni, former writers Fey and Conan O'Brien, told Carter they don't think the show should go on after Michaels retires. "It should be up to him," Fey said, "if it would bring him happiness to continue without him or if he wants to turn the lights off." Said O'Brien, "I think the show goes with him -- and it should." The TBS late-night host compared Michaels to the chef at a beloved restaurant, saying that if "you know Lorne isn't in the back of the restaurant at the corner table, testing the soup before it goes out, it's just not that restaurant anymore." Even today, however, it's apparent that the menu isn't as bold or flavorful as it once was. Now that the show makes sketches cut during dress rehearsal available online, it's clear that quality control has become a toss-up, since the cut sketches are often as good as or better than (and often edgier than) the material that makes it to the air. When former cast member Chris Rock returned last fall as host and broached 9/11 as a topic in his monologue, many viewers were shocked -- not just by the audacity of Rock's jokes, but that he told them on a show like "SNL" that was no longer accustomed to ruffling any feathers. Still, Michaels remains as good as ever at spotting new talent. Though he acknowledges to the Reporter that even his record there isn't perfect -- he blew the chance to hire Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, Lisa Kudrow, and Jim Carrey -- he's still hired countless writers and performers who lived up to their potential during and after their time on "SNL," from the original cast (especially Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, Gilda Radner, Bill Murray, and Al Franken) to Robert Downey Jr., Phil Hartman, Dennis Miller, Jon Lovitz, Kevin Nealon, Jan Hooks, Ben Stiller, Dana Carvey, Mike Myers, Conan O'Brien, Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Chris Farley, David Spade, Sarah Silverman, Norm Macdonald, Will Ferrell, Molly Shannon, Tina Fey, Tracy Morgan, Jimmy Fallon, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Seth Meyers, Fred Armisen, Andy Samberg, Bill Hader, Kristin Wiig, and Jason Sudeikis. Confirming his eye for talent is the announcement last week of the cast of the "Ghostbusters" reboot, including Wiig, frequent guest-host Melissa McCarthy, and current "SNL" cast members Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones. (Even if you don't like the idea of a "Ghostbusters" reboot, or an all-female "Ghostbusters" cast, you can't deny that these are funny women.) But hiring funny writers and comics is one thing; creating something funny for them to do live 20 Saturdays a year is another. It's fine if, to use O'Brien's metaphor, Michaels just wants to serve up comfort food, but if "SNL" wants to keep attracting new talent and new audiences, Michaels will either have to try to dazzle viewers again or else leave the institution in the hands of someone who will.

Best of Late Night TV: Will Smith Beatboxes, Jeff Bridges Leads Epic Omming Session (VIDEO) Posted: If you're like us and value your sleep, you probably nodded off into your Ambien dreamland before the party started on post-prime time TV. Don't worry; we've got you covered. Here's the best of what happened last night on late night. Will Smith was on "The Tonight Show" Thursday night. Since Jimmy Fallon is a self-described "classically trained beatboxer," he and Will beatboxed to "It Takes Two," using an iPad app. It took them a while to get into it, but it's good. Will also got the audience involved. It was a big night for performing to and with the audience, as you can see in other show videos below. Jeff Bridges - who has to be one of the best people on our planet - was on "Conan" and talked about his Super Bowl ad. You should watch his "Epic Omming Session" with Conan, Andy and the audience. It goes on for a while and Conan checks his watch about halfway through. Jeff also shared a bizarre "Big Lebowski" story. Turns out he had a rather R-rated prank pulled on him during The Dude's dream sequence. Lily Collins was also on "Conan," and it turns out she and Jeff Bridges are both big fans of Renaissance Faire. She also revealed in an interview that she would like to be a master baker, and she realized afterward that it sounded kind of dirty. Magic Johnson was on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" to discuss his first NBA title (35 years ago!) and he shared some advice for the Lakers, including "if you're going to be bad, but all the way bad so we can get a good draft pick." Magic and Jimmy also played some wiffle ball - with Guillermo as catcher - so check that out. Let's just say there's a reason he's best known for basketball. Scotty Foley was on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" to talk about "Scandal" and how he tries to break the tension on set. He also discussed his odd Twitter fight with William Shatner. Scott thinks he turned Shatner from a hater into a "Scandal" fan. Seth Meyers will probably relive last night in his dreams, many times over, since he got to hang out with Victoria's Secret supermodels Candice Swanepoel and Lily Aldridge. They discussed how dangerous the giant wings are during VS shows, showing how Ariana Grande got hit by one. Former SNL-er Brooks Whelan was also on "Late Night" and he was upset to miss the "babes" who were on the couch before him. Martin Short was on "Late Show with David Letterman" and he arrived on stage singing "Fly Me Through the Room" as he did just that on wires. Great intro! Martin is always a good time, and he talked about his book, dishing on a hilarious drunken dinner he had with Nick Nolte. He also shared a story about working with Larry David at SNL. Martin was only on one season, '84-'85. "The Late Late Show" has a series of guest hosts and right now John Mayer is hosting. Thursday night, Bob Saget, Bob Weir and Mary Lynn Rajskub were guests. John and Bob Saget reminisced about when they met and did stand-up. Mary Lynn played a song she wrote about John. To close the show, John and Bob Weir performed "Althea."
