Bill Hader & company do a fantastic job at poking fun at the world’s most incredulous commercial for “weights.” SNL is a little late to the game with this one, but at least they got it right. Oh, it’s real.

Here’s a compilation of clips from an old ’70s Canadian game show called Just Like Mom. It was hosted by husband and wife team Fergie Olver and Catherine Swift.

This is a must watch for Glee, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, and Parks & Recreation fans alike! Last week on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy introduced a new segment he calls 6-Bee. It’s a story that follows the LNWJF crew on the road to sectionals. Clearly Fallon & co. are big fans of Glee (who isn’t?). In this episode, Jimmy Fallon crew (including Jimmy, staffers, and SNL’s Abby Elliot) face off against the cast of Parks & Rec and The Roots in a Glee club battle of epic proportions. A major amount of hilarity and musical genius ensues.

Look after the break for episode 1; Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ On a Prayer” is the song of choice. Continue reading Glee club battle: Jimmy Fallon crew vs. Parks & Rec cast →

Good Charlotte’s Joel Madden makes a lengthy appearence and schmoyho’s Michael Gregory starts rapping at 3:05. It’s good to see him doing what he does best.

With the iPad’s release one day away, the little slate of magic is making its rounds not only with tech reviewers but also on TV.

Apple fanboy Stephen Colbert chops some vegetables with it.

David Letterman licks it.

Modern Family’s Phil Dunphey really, really wants it. (And if you have a single funny bone in your body you’ll watch the entire episode right here.)

Tonight Engadget’s Joshua Topolsky handled it with Jimmy Fallon. And the audience was WOWED by the iBooks app. Look after the break for part 2.

Oh, and ABC got to spend some time with the iPad and intervied a couple app developers. Check that out after the break. Continue reading iPad on TV: Colbert, Letterman, Fallon, Modern Family →
