TV roundup: Jon Stewart, Buffy alum, 'Full House' and Nirvana
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced that Jon Stewart's going to hose the Oscars once again. I, for one, loved it when he hosted two years ago. C'mon, a gay cowboy montage? It doesn't get much better than Ho!Yay! Perhaps he can do a montage this year involving overly-pretty men in epic movies -- Xerxes in "300", Achilles and Paris in "Troy", and Colin Farrell in "Alexander".
Donald Trump may have done the one thing that could possibly get me to watch Celebrity Apprentice -- it sounds like he's cast a "Buffy" alum. TV Guide is reporting that Charisma Carpenter (who played Cordelia Chase) will be appearing on the show, and apparently she is willing to "make like Alexis Carrington and bring out the claws if need be."
Sweet little Stephanie Tanner from "Full House" is pregnant. Doesn't that make you feel old?
I'm not sure how I feel about Nirvana's music being licensed for TV shows now. "Cold Case" does it well, so the Nirvana episode should be good. But I have to wonder if I'll soon be hearing Nirvana songs in places that make me cringe, like so many other classics that have been ill-used. ("Crumb-believable" and "Take this steak and top it" come immediately to mind.)
