Posted on by — Leave a reply

jon-stewartThe world just got a little bit darker tonight with the news that comedian Jon Stewart would end and era of television history and leave his beloved Daily Show in the hands of another yet to be named host.

Comedy Central has just issued the following statement on the matter:

“For the better part of the last two decades, we have had the incredible honor and privilege of working with John Stewart. His comedic brilliance is second to none. Jon has been at the heart of Comedy Central, championing and nurturing the best talent in the industry, in front of and behind the camera. Through his unique voice and vision, ‘The Daily Show’ has become a cultural touchstone for millions of fans and an unparalleled platform for political comedy that will endure for years to come. Jon will remain at the helm of ‘The Daily Show’ until later this year. He is a comic genius, generous with his time and talent, and will always be a part of the Comedy Central family.”

The news also comes mere months after Stephen Colbert announced he would be ending his run on The Colbert Report to take over hosting duties on The Late Show from David Letterman later this year.

Stewart began hosting The Daily Show in 1999 after taking over for then host Craig Kilborn. 

Thank you Jon for all the laughs…you will be missed

NBC Considering a Move for ‘Constantine’

Posted on by — Leave a reply

One of the best shows on television has had a difficult time finding an audience in its first season. NBC’s Constantine has been well written and, more importantly, well acted, but NBC has mishandled the show from the beginning and is now on the verge of making a monumental change. After the network decided to limit the first season order to 13 episodes, a move many considered the death blow for the show, NBC has now began to rethink its position and are considering moving the show to its sister station SyFy. Word also comes that the show could take on the title Hellblazer, and perhaps be even closer to the comics on which it is based.

At this stage this is no more than a rumor so keep checking back as we monitor the situation.

What do you think of a move for the show? Has NBC dropped the ball again?! Will a move save the show or doom it for good? Sound off!

Lionsgate Wants to Make More Hunger Games Movies!

Posted on by — Leave a reply

The-Hunger-Games-Mockingjay-Part-1-Teaser-TrailerAn interesting tidbit surfaced yesterday from the Lionsgate shareholders teleconference when several investors grilled for answers as to what the studio’s plans are for future after the release of this year’s The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 hits theaters in November. After trying to assure investors that the company has a “strong slate” of films coming, CEO Jon Feltheimer dropped the bombshell and said, “we’re actively looking at some development and thinking about prequel and sequel possibilities” for the Hunger Games franchise. What?! As Hunger Games fans will know, the story created by Suzanne Collins ends with the completion of the Mockingjay films so….how is this possible? Will Suzanne Collins be involved? Will we see the return of Katniss and Peta?! Only time will tell, but one things for sure, this is exciting news! Read More →
