NBC TO DELIVER SPECIAL ONE-HOUR BABY EPISODE OF 'THE OFFICE' ON MARCH 4

Universal City, Ca., February 8th, 2010.               NBC will broadcast the highly anticipated baby episode of "The Office" as a special one-hour show on Thursday, March 4 (9-10 p.m. ET) rather than as two separate half-hour episodes over two weeks as previously announced.

In the special hour-long episode of "The Office" titled "The Delivery Part 1 and 2," Pam's (Jenna Fischer) contractions begin but she and Jim (John Krasinski) are determined to wait it out as long as possible so they can have more time at the hospital. Meanwhile the rest of the office tries to distract Pam from the pain with food and entertainment.

In the second half hour, Michael (Golden Globe winner Steve Carell) anxiously waits for Pam and Jim's baby to be born. Back at the office, Erin (Ellie Kemper) makes Andy (Ed Helms) jealous when she has lunch with Kevin (Brian Baumgartner).

In the special two-part storyline, Delany will play Federal Agent Jordan Shaw -- an insightful and accomplished Federal Investigator who teams with Richard Castle and Detective Beckett to hunt down a cunning and elusive serial killer.

"We're thrilled to have the opportunity to work with such a talented and versatile actress as Dana, and we're grateful to Marc Cherry and our partners at ABC for helping to make this happen," said "Castle" Creator/Executive Producer Andrew Marlowe.

     Probst says, "I am thrilled to continue working with (the) SURVIVOR family for another year.  Even in my wildest dreams, I couldn't have predicted we'd still be going strong 10 years later."

     "Jeff is an amazing creative talent and an integral part of the SURVIVOR team-both on camera and, equally as important, as a producer," says Executive Producer Mark Burnett.  "For 20 seasons, he has earned the trust of the audience and the respect of SURVIVOR's castaways.  We are excited that he will continue with the show for another year and together our team will provide the high quality entertainment our fans have grown to expect."

     "Jeff is a multi-faceted creative talent," said Nina Tassler, President, CBS Entertainment.  "On the screen he's a gifted and versatile host, and behind-the-scenes he's a smart and intuitive producer.  We look forward to him snuffing out more torches and whipping up new ideas next season."

     Probst won the Emmy for "Outstanding Host for a Reality Competition Series" in 2008 and 2009.

     The groundbreaking reality series, which premiered in May 2000, has anchored CBS's winning Thursday lineup since February 2001.  SURVIVOR won an Emmy in 2001 for "Outstanding Non-Fiction Program" (Special Class). 

     The series' 20th edition, SURVIVOR: HEROES VS. VILLAINS, premieres with a special two-hour episode on Thursday, Feb. 11 (8:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT).  SURVIVOR: HEROES VS.

ABC ANNOUNCES THE SERIES PREMIERE DATE FOR NEW DRAMA "HAPPY TOWN," WEDNESDAY, APRIL 28

New York, N.Y.,  February 4th, 2010.               ABC has announced the premiere date of its new drama, "Happy Town," WEDNESDAY, APRIL 28 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET). The residents of the sun-splashed town of Haplin, Minnesota -- also known as "Happy Town" -- have enjoyed an uneasy peace for the past five years -- but that is about to change. Still haunted by a number of unsolved kidnappings, Haplin now faces a disturbing new crime that brings all of its unresolved fears to the surface. Has the elusive "Magic Man" - who many believe is responsible for the bizarre abductions -- returned to claim yet another innocent victim? As Haplin's mysteries are revealed, many of its prominent citizens' motives come under scrutiny as their own secrets and personalities are peeled back one layer at a time.

The Haplin founding family, represented by the mysterious matriarch Peggy Haplin and her quick-tempered son, John, run the local bread factory, which is the town's largest employer. The powerful family tries to wield control even while dealing with the fact that John's daughter was one of the Magic Man's many victims. The ever-dapper Merritt Grieves, who runs a charming but perhaps irrelevant film memorabilia shop, seems strangely sinister. The lively widows residing at the Meadows Boarding House with Merritt become all aflutter whenever he is in their presence. Haplin's other colorful characters include Tommy Conroy's boyhood friend, Big Dave Duncan, as well as the nefarious Stiviletto brothers.

Many in this small Midwestern town have skeletons in their closets, and some dark truths are being revealed about some familiar faces. There are signs both obvious and hidden that something strange is going on, as exemplified by a recurring bit of curious graffiti: a halo with a question mark under it. They say every town has its secrets, but that doesn't even begin to describe Happy Town.

New York, N.Y., February 4th, 2010.               Jillian Harris, star of the most recent fifth edition of "The Bachelorette," joined the design team of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" as a special guest designer during the episode entitled "Skaggs Family," which began shooting on Monday. The episode will air later this season on ABC.

"I have been an adoring fan of the series for years and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with such an amazing team. I feel so blessed to be a part of this project with 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.' Because of the constant love I receive from my family, friends, and now fans, I have always felt like my heart was just bursting with love and hope for others in need. I couldn't think of a better place or a better way to give back; to give love, support, and hope. I really feel like the world needs a lot of love right now, and to be a part of this and see others give their time and love so generously, it is truly inspiring," said Harris.

Said Anthony Dominici, executive producer: "We're thrilled to have Jillian with us as a special guest designer and be a part of the show. People know Jillian as a great personality, but they may not realize that she's an incredible designer too -- she's done restaurants and custom furniture for years. But now it's time for her to put those skills to the test and help Ty and the team build and decorate a home for a deserving family in just a week!"

In Harris' episode, "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" will travel to Slaughterville, Oklahoma, to meet Brian and Audra Skaggs, whose son, Jhett, survived a heart transplant at just 10 months old. Although he's made incredible progress over the past two years, the poor condition of the family's moldy, rotting, termite-ridden home poses serious risks to Jhett's weakened immune system. In seven days, "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" will build a safe and healthy home for Jhett, 2, his sister Merit, 5, and his parents, a home that will allow the family to focus on each other instead of their deteriorating surroundings.

Fan favorite Jillian Harris charmed America with her irrepressible humor and emotional honesty on ABC's "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette." Since finding her soul mate, Ed Swiderski, on "The Bachelorette," the happy couple enjoys cooking together, singing karaoke and spending time with family and friends. Now Jillian brings more than 10 years' experience in the hospitality and restaurant design industry to "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" as a special guest designer. A self proclaimed "polished redneck" who is not afraid to get her hands dirty or climb a ladder with heels on, Jillian carefully combines the frivolous with the sensible -- a brilliant mix between low brow and high brow. Her extensive background provides a unique perspective to both front-of-house and back-of-house operations as they relate to restaurant and interior design, and will be a valuable asset to the "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" design team.

Outside of her work in television, Jillian continues to jet back to Canada to run her firm, Jillian Harris Design, where she is currently launching a furniture division featuring custom-made 18th century dining and lounge pieces. In her free time, Jillian is penning a book based on her infamous "hot dog theory" and dating experience. While she and Ed enjoy taking in the fine architecture, culture and cuisine of Chicago, they also actively dedicate their energy to charities, from supporting no-kill animal shelters and recycling initiatives to sitting on the board of Big Brother Big Sisters.

ABC CORDIALLY INVITES YOU TO THE WEDDING OF JASON MESNICK AND MOLLY MALANEY, ON "THE BACHELOR: JASON AND MOLLY'S WEDDING," MONDAY, MARCH 8

New York, N.Y., January 28th, 2010.               "The Bachelor" Couple Will Celebrate Their Union with a Spectacular Event Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney, the first "Bachelor" couple to ever walk down the aisle, will share a dramatic new chapter of their love story with millions of viewers when ABC televises their much anticipated wedding on "The Bachelor: Jason and Molly's Wedding," MONDAY, MARCH 8 (8:00-10:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

The couple, who announced their engagement in October, will let viewers in on all the exciting festivities - from Molly's dress fitting for her dazzling custom-made gown to Jason and Molly planning the big day with their wedding planner and event designer. Then it's on to their bachelor and bachelorette parties, and the next stage of their romantic journey with a beautiful wedding ceremony in the perfect location.

Past "Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" couples, stars and participants (to be announced at a later date) will be on the guest list to help the couple celebrate, along with their families and friends.

Jason and Molly have had a rocky road on their way to happily ever after, which makes this momentous event that much sweeter for them. Jason's journey goes back more than a year, when he was one of the final two bachelors on DeAnna Pappas' edition of "The Bachelorette." Although ultimately rejected by DeAnna, he was the overwhelming fan favorite and the first ever single dad on "The Bachelor" to try his luck at finding love again. He proposed to Melissa Rycroft in the finale, only to find that he had a change of heart. In a heartbreaking and shocking "After the Final Rose" special, he broke up with Melissa - and hoped it was not too late to beg Molly to give him a second chance to win her love. Good thing he took the gamble - despite the intense scrutiny from fans and media, his risk was rewarded. The couple took slow and steady steps to build their relationship, including Molly's building a bond with Jason's son, Ty, as they saw their connection develop into a real, lasting union. Hosted by Chris Harrison.

QUOTABLES FROM "SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE'S WEEKEND UPDATE WITH SETH MEYERS" JANUARY 30, 2010

"WEEKEND UPDATE" ANCHOR SETH MEYERS - "During the state of the union address on Wednesday, President Obama asked if anyone from either party had a better approach to health care reform, at which point House minority leader John Boehner stood up and raised his hand. Though I don't think I'd take health care advice from someone whose skin tone doesn't exist in nature."

MEYERS - "This week Apple released a thing that does stuff that its other stuff already does."

MEYERS - "According to a new audiotape, purportedly from Osama Bin Laden, the Al Qaeda leader says that global warming is an "actual fact." To which Al Gore replied, 'Yeah! Wait- who said? Damnit!'"

MEYERS - "On Friday President Obama appeared before House Republicans in an historic televised Q and A, and performed so well that afterwards GOP aides said that allowing the "cameras to roll like that" was "a mistake." Come on Republicans, Are you on such a Scott Brown high that you thought you could take down Barack Obama by debating him? You realize "debates" are why he's President, right? Seriously, all you guys do is complain about how Obama is all talk and then you invited him to a forum that's literally "all talk." That's like saying "let's see how tough Aquaman is when we get him in the water!" I'm not saying you were outclassed, but the whole thing was like the scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark, like when the guy charged Indy with a sword and he just shot him."

MEYERS - "The Iraqi government reported Monday that Ali Hassan al-Majid, also known as Chemical Ali, who was sentenced to death four times, was executed. In a final statement, chemical Ali blamed his lawyer, incompetent Ali."

MEYERS - "Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Tim Tebow will be featured in a Super Bowl ad that speaks out against abortion. Note to NFL defenses next year: when Tebow runs the option, he's always going to keep it."

MEYERS - "Another pair of red-tailed hawks have made their home in New York City, this time on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Which I guess explains the hipster beards."

MEYERS - "This week, Nadya Suleman, the Octomom, celebrated one year of being a crazy cat lady, but with babies."

MEYERS - "A Roman Catholic priest in Illinois was arrested for allegedly shoplifting butter and a sofa cover at a Wal-Mart. It's unfortunate that they didn't at least follow him home so we could find out what part two of that plan was. When told of the arrest, a local bishop said, 'Arrested? What for? Shoplifting? Ohthankgod!'"

MEYERS - "The second season of MTV's "Jersey Shore" was delayed this week when the cast demanded more money. Wait, they're getting money?"

MEYERS - "The CEO of MySpace said this week that they plan to become more relevant in social media and are retooling the site to become a one-stop destination for music, gaming and entertainment. Instead of what it is now, the internet's abandoned amusement park."

MEYERS - "A minister in South Carolina was arrested on charges that he hired a 40 year-old prostitute named Melinda Ann "Truck Stop" Robinson, paying her 5 dollars instead of her normal 10-dollar fee. Fortunately, there's only so much damage you can do to the self-esteem of a 40 year-old 10-dollar hooker named 'Truck Stop.'"

MEYERS - "There is a growing dog-surfing craze along California's beaches, in which owners take their pets out on the waves with them. Still not catching on?
Cat-boarding."

QUOTABLES FROM "SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE'S WEEKEND UPDATE WITH SETH MEYERS" FEBRUARY 6, 2010

"WEEKEND UPDATE" ANCHOR SETH MEYERS - "USA! USA! After a massive recall due to faulty accelerators, the Secretary of Transportation on Wednesday told owners of Toyotas that they should stop driving the vehicles. Said Toyota owners, 'we're trying!'"

MEYERS - "Newly elected Republican Senator Scott Brown said in an interview that he opposes federal funding for abortions but thinks women should have the right to choose whether to have one. So he's fiscally conservative but socially John Edwards."

MEYERS - "The Democrats super-majority of 60 seats officially ended Thursday when Brown was sworn in as the new Senator from Massachusetts. Oh man, and JUST when they were getting nowhere. But it was a crazy ride. Let's take a moment to remember the accomplishments of the Democrat's 60 seat super-majority."

MEYERS - "France has created the world's largest condom, which is 120 feet tall and will be filled with helium and flown around the world to mark World AIDS Day. Though I'm guessing it will eventually end up in the gutter in front of my building."

MEYERS - "According to a new survey, the drunkest city in the country is Fresno, California. To give you an idea of just how drunk, the city's actual name is Frenzo."

MEYERS - "MTV announced that new episodes of Jersey Shore will air this summer with the popular cast leaving the Jersey Shore and going to a "new destination." Said an MTV executive, 'hey, if it ain't broke, break it.'"

MEYERS - "A woman in Pennsylvania was arrested this week on animal cruelty charges for offering to make "gothic kittens" by piercing their ears and neck. So needless to say, it was much less of a hit than her emo puppies."

MEYERS - "This Tuesday was the 33rd Annual Empire State Building Run-up, in which participants race up 86 flights of stairs in the historic building. Meanwhile, I almost cried because I walked three flights down to the laundry
room before I realized I forgot to bring quarters."

MEYERS - "Cosmopolitan magazine declared in its latest issue that "the thong is dead." They're basing that assertion on Cisqo's new hit single 'The Classic Full Brief Song.'"

MEYERS - "Police in Germany say that a woman watching the sunset on a webcam spotted a man lost on the frozen North Sea and saved his life by alerting authorities. But who's going to save the life of the woman who watches sunsets on a webcam?"

MEYERS - "A new study has been published documenting a cat living in a nursing home in Rhode Island, that can accurately predict which patients are about to die. Either that, or cats like to sleep next to whoever moves around the least. It's still nice to now the last thing those old people see is the face of the terrifying Death Cat."

MEYERS - "Residents of an apartment building in New York are upset after learning that their building superintendent is a registered sex offender. On the plus side, if I know supers, it's going to take him forever to get around to molesting their kids."

QUOTABLES FROM "LATE NIGHT WITH JIMMY FALLON" February 1 - February 5

"You guys feeling good? I'm so excited, everybody - New Kids On the Block are here tonight! Yeah - they'll be standing right here performing some of their greatest hits! Meanwhile, I'll be 150 feet away, as ordered by the court."

"Let's get to the news. According to official records, the White House received more than 75,000 visitors in October alone. 75,000 visitors in one month? Gross, White House - you're like the "Jersey Shore Hot Tub" of government buildings."

"Speaking of Jersey Shore, I read that some nude photos of J-Woww are now being shopped around. Yeah, they're so revealing, you can see her snooki AND her situation."

"Of course, "The Situation" is another cast member on "Jersey Shore." And apparently, he's decided to use his new fame to launch his own cologne called "The Sitch." It's the first cologne that's actually designed to smell like too much cologne."

"This is unfortunate. I heard that John Edwards and his wife, Elizabeth, have legally separated. Yeah, under the reasons for separation, Elizabeth Edwards just wrote, "see news."

"Are you guys excited for the season premiere of "Lost" tomorrow? Well, the opening 4 minutes were leaked online Friday. People who saw it were like, "Oh my God, it was great!" Then their friends were like, "Really?? What happened??" And they were like, "I don't know - but it was great!"

"This is pretty cool. The Israeli army is planning to give its soldiers special new socks that can be worn for two weeks straight without smelling. In other words, they created the socks my college roommate THOUGHT he had."

"Oh man, I love this story. Police in Louisiana arrested a man who was riding his bicycle with a butcher knife attached to a pool cue. Now if they had THAT at "Medieval Times," I would definitely have my birthday party there, again."

"Check this out. Two men just set a new Guinness world record by playing the world's longest tennis match, for 37 hours and 32 minutes. Yeah, witnesses said they haven't heard two people grunt that many hours in a row since Sting had sex."

"I don't even know what to make of this. Voters in Switzerland will decide next month if animals should have the right to be represented by lawyers in court. If they approve it, it will finally clear the way for the long-awaited lawsuit of "cat vs. string."

"And finally, a new survey reported that most drinkers would rather give up sex than alcohol. Just to be fair, if you drink so much you'd rather give up sex than alcohol, trust me, you've already given up sex."

"Hey, are you guys excited?! It's Groundhog Day, everybody! You know, I feel bad for squirrels on Groundhog Day, it's like being Jewish on Christmas."

"The Oscar nominations were announced today, you guys. The Best Actor nominees include George Clooney for "Up in the Air," Jeremy Renner for "The Hurt Locker", and President Obama for the "State of the Union."

"Hey, I read in the New York Times that the Obama administration is planning huge changes to President Bush's "No Child Left Behind" law. The new law will be called "Let's face it, some kids are just duds."

"Listen to this. There's a Goodwill store that's having an anti-Valentine's Day donation drive, where people can give away clothes that belonged to their exes. In fact, tonight I'm wearing one of John Edward's old suits."

"I don't know if any of you guys saw the "Today Show" this morning they showed a live C-section birth on the air. Yeah, viewers called it the all-time weirdest installment of "Where in the World is Matt Lauer."

"This is pretty cool. It's "Doppelganger Week" on Facebook - where people replace their profile pictures with a celebrity they look like. And then people's friends go "Yeah right."

"This is just weird. A funeral home in Denver admitted to misplacing a woman's body last week and dressing another corpse in her clothes. I guess they were just hoping the woman's family would be like, "Huh, that's weird. I don't remember Barbara being Asian. Well, it IS her shirt. Sayonara, Barbara."

"Here's a cute story. An 8-year-old cat in Britain just became the world's first cat to have an artificial knee replacement. Vets say the cat should be up and doing nothing in no time."

"Hey, a new study found that 2 percent of the population suffers from a disorder that causes them to think they are ugly. Yeah, I think the disorder is called "being ugly."

"We've got some more Tiger Woods news for you guys. A company in Canada is selling a set of golf balls with pictures of Tiger's mistresses on each ball. After inspecting the golf balls himself, Tiger said, "yeah, I'd hit those."

"Check this out. Police in Indiana are searching for a man who robbed a tobacco store with a pair of scissors. Yeah, they said the guy could be a real danger - unless you have a rock."

"I don't even know what to make of this. A woman was arrested at JFK Airport after officials found 54 pounds of cocaine in her suitcase and a bag of marijuana in her bra. I just wish I could have been at her house right before she left. "Okay, got all my clothes, my phone charger, 54 pounds of cocaine, what am I forgetting, oh yeah, ma bra weed!"

"Researchers in China have discovered that a dinosaur that lived 125 million years ago was covered in reddish-orange feathers. Sounds crazy, right? Maybe that's why they're calling it the "Tyrannosaurus Gaga."

"Finally, more than 24 employees have been investigated for looking at pornography on their government computers. They've been charged with wasting government dollars, and stimulating their own packages."

"You guys feeling good?! Hey, who saw the premiere of Lost last night? A lot of people had it on their DVR, so they spent the whole day going, "Nobody tell me what happened! Nobody tell me what happened!" Then when they got done watching it, they were like, "Somebody tell me what happened! Somebody tell me what happened!"

"Listen to this. During his town hall meeting in New Hampshire yesterday, President Obama said that using stimulus money to help schools is "not sexy" but it's "making a difference." Oddly enough, that's the same way he describes Nancy Pelosi."

"At the town hall event, President Obama also said, "Jobs will be our number-one focus in 2010." He then added, "Specifically, mine and Biden's jobs."

"Obama also had some economic advice for the American people. He told them
not to "blow a bunch of cash on Vegas when you're trying to save for college." Though, to be fair, most recent college graduates would probably have more luck in Vegas."

"The president is really trying to bring people together. He told Senate Democrats that politics "can't just be about scoring points." Then today, he was sued by the Knicks for stealing their motto."

"I just read that the Humane Society is using old fur coats as bedding to keep baby animals warm. Man, that's kinda sick. That'd be like you going, "Mom, what is my blanket made out of?" And her going, "Grandma, honey. Your blanket is made out of grandma."

"Everyone's talking about the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. Admiral Mike Mullen said it's wrong to force people "to lie about who they are" in order to serve their country. Then Congress was like, "Who cares? We do that every election."

"That's right, Admiral Mike Mullen, the military's top officer, wants to end "don't ask, don't tell." Yeah, of course the top officer is cool with it, but I wanna hear what the bottom officer has to say."

"This is disturbing. A new report found that cheap perfumes can contain bacteria, antifreeze and urine. This explains Calvin Klein's newest scent - "The Subway."

"You guys excited for the Super Bowl? Well, check this out. A commercial for the new "Harry Potter" theme park will air during the Super Bowl. Yeah, nerds are totally freaking out. "My total love for Harry Potter is in conflict with my total hatred for sports. Dumbledore, guide me!"

"Here's an update on that "underwear bomber" story. The FBI says the "underwear bomber" is talking again, and has given them "useful" intelligence information. He was stonewalling the FBI until they made him an offer he couldn't refuse - a new nickname. He'll now be referred to as the Ass Blaster."

"Did you hear this? New York Jets' head coach Rex Ryan has been fined 50,000 dollars for flipping off Dolphins fans on Saturday. Coach Ryan is describing the fine as surprising, outrageous, and totally worth it."

"A new report found that the Italian Mafia actually raised its profits by 8 percent last year - in spite of the recession. The report was done by a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy."

"And finally, a man in Australia was arrested for kissing a police dog at a pub. In his defense, he had no idea she was a cop."

"The Super Bowl's only 3 days away -- are you guys excited? Man, I always have the best time eating and drinking at a Super Bowl party - until it's over, and I have to spend an hour at a Porcelain Bowl party."

"I don't know if you saw, this morning President Obama spoke at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C. Obama told the crowd there that no one should "go broke when they get sick in the richest nation on earth." Which I think is his way of saying we're going to start exporting sick people to China."

"Listen to this. On the Today Show this morning, Michelle Obama said she likes having her mother live at the White House because she helps take care of Sasha and Malia. And Barack Obama said he likes having his mother-in-law living in the White House because he has to say that."

"Have you guys heard about what's going on with Toyota? It's crazy. Their job is to make cars, right? Well, they had a problem with gas pedals getting stuck and now they're recalling the Prius because the brakes don't work. And because of all this, sales of Ford cars and trucks rose 25 percent in the past month. Ford says it's all because of their new ad slogan: "Ford: Because Toyota is trying to kill you."

"Toyota is asking anyone who owns a new Prius to return it to the dealership as slowly as they possibly can."

"Did you guys hear this? London is opening a new theme park called ABBAWORLD. Visitors to the park can take quizzes, recreate ABBA's sound at a mixing desk, dance next to an ABBA hologram, and most importantly, LEAVE."

"This is weird. A company in California is working on a new wireless monitor for pill bottles that "tattles" on you when you forget to take your medicine. Yeah, it's the same system already used by people who take drugs for hallucinations. "Okay, bottle's talking, time to take another one."

"Check this out. A new study found that eating corned beef for breakfast could help you lose weight. That doesn't sound like a study, that sounds like something a guy who eats corned beef for breakfast says."

"I thought this was pretty interesting. New research found that 1 in 5 people has an "unfitness gene" - which makes them out of shape no matter how much they exercise. The same research also found that 5 out of 5 people will now use that as their excuse for being out of shape."

"And finally, scientists discovered that bees think human faces are "strange flowers." So if a bee starts buzzing around your head, don't worry. It just wants to have sex with your face."

"It's Friday, you guys feeling good? I'm so excited. We have Brian Williams on the show tonight! That's right - America's most trusted newsman - gets to interview Brian Williams."

"They're expecting horrible weather overnight. A major snow storm is going to hit the East Coast and airlines are already canceling flights and predicting long delays - so, "business as usual?"

"Forget about the weather, it's Super Bowl Sunday!!! I love it. Listen to this. I read that 15 percent of Americans are expected to order takeout on Super Bowl Sunday. Two of those people? Mark Sanchez and Brett Favre."

"If you're not into the Super Bowl, Animal Planet is airing its sixth annual "Puppy Bowl" on Sunday. The Puppy Bowl and the Super Bowl at the same time? It's like Michael Vick's own personal Sophie's Choice."

"President Obama was busy holding two fundraisers in D.C. last night. During one of his speeches, Obama told the crowd, "We can't be afraid of the future." Yeah, most Americans agree with him, mainly because they're so busy being afraid of the present."

"Obama said, "We can't be afraid of the future." And Biden was like, "What about clowns? Can we be afraid of clowns?"

"President Obama also said that the key to competing with China is to improve our math and science education. Because right now, our GDP is about 13 trillion and China's is 3 trillion, which means we're still ahead by, trillion."

"It's tough times out there. Even the "Obama Store" in Washington D.C. is closing. That's were they sell T-shirts, hats, and calendars with Obama's face on them; you can tell they're Obama calendars, because they only go up to 2012."

"Have you guys been following this whole mess with Toyota? It's crazy. Today, Akio Toyoda, the president of Toyota, held a news conference to apologize for their massive recall. Unfortunately, the most common question he got was, "Wait, is your name ACTUALLY Toyoda? That's hilarious."

"Yeah, the whole press conference got off to a rough start. When he got up to speak, he couldn't stop in time and crashed into the podium."

"I don't even know what to make of this story. Dutch politicians just passed a new law banning sex between humans and animals. When they heard about it, goat farmers were like, "Trust me - the sex ended after we got married."
