GREGORY ITZIN RETURNS AS FAN-FAVORITE VILLAIN CHARLES LOGAN IN SEASON EIGHT OF “24”

Los Angeles, Ca.,  November 2nd, 2009.               The anticipation for Season Eight of 24 continues to surge with Gregory Itzin reprising his acclaimed role as Charles Logan. The Emmy Award-winning drama starring Kiefer Sutherland returns for its next astonishing day with a two-night, four-hour premiere event Sunday, Jan. 17 (9:00-11:00 PM ET/PT) and Monday, Jan. 18 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

 

The disgraced former President Logan was last seen after being shockingly stabbed by First Lady Martha Logan (Jean Smart) in Season Six. Itzin’s return to 24 will bring together the series’ two Emmy-nominated “presidents” for the first time when sitting President Allison Taylor (Emmy Award winner Cherry Jones) reluctantly enlists Logan to assist with an escalating international diplomatic crisis.

 

When asked about this on-screen pairing, 24 executive producer Howard Gordon said, “The opportunity for these two remarkable actors to share the stage was simply too compelling to pass up.”

 

Season Eight resets in New York City where a retired JACK BAUER (Sutherland) is unwillingly drawn back into the intense action after learning of a plot to assassinate Middle Eastern peace-keeping leader OMAR HASSAN (Anil Kapoor). Meanwhile, RENEE WALKER (Annie Wersching) and CHLOE O’BRIAN (Mary Lynn Rajskub) return alongside CTU newcomers DANA WALSH (Katee Sackhoff), BRIAN HASTINGS (Mykelti Williamson) and COLE ORTIZ (Freddie Prinze Jr.).

ABC ANNOUNCES THE SEASON PREMIERES OF "SCRUBS" AND "BETTER OFF TED"

New York, N.Y.,  October 30th, 2009.               Back-to-Back Episodes of "Scrubs" Air Tuesday, Dec. 1, at 9:00 and 9:30 p.m., ET; "Better Off Ted" Premieres Tuesday, Dec. 8 at 9:30 p.m. The hit half-hour comedy series "Scrubs" will return to ABC this December for its ninth season. This irreverent and offbeat comedy will debut Tuesday, December1, with back-to-back episodes from 9:00-9:30 and 9:30-10:00 p.m., ET. On Tuesday, December 8, the critically acclaimed comedy "Better Off Ted" will begin its sophomore season at 9:30 p.m., ET, following an original episode of "Scrubs."
 
"Scrubs" focuses on the unique point of view of Dr. John "J.D." Dorian (Zach Braff). Having left the hospital temporarily for a job at another hospital, he returns to Sacred Heart to teach med school. Together with Drs. Turk (Donald Faison), Cox (John C. McGinley), Kelso (Ken Jenkins) and intern Denise (Eliza Coupe), he is now professor to a class of brand new medical students Lucy (Kerry Bishe), Drew (Michael Mosley) and Cole (Dave Franco) while continuing his romance with the beautiful but socially awkward Dr. Elliot Reid (Sarah Chalke).

At 9:00 p.m., in an episode entitled, "Our First Day of School," J.D., Turk, Drs. Cox and Kelso and Intern Denise return to Sacred Heart to teach med school while new med students Lucy, Drew, Cole and Maya are put through the ringer on their first day of school. At 9:30 p.m., in "Our Drunk Friend," Lucy learns a hard lesson about what it takes to be a doctor. Meanwhile J.D. and Turk spot a potential love connection between Denise and the new med student Drew, as they play matchmakers with a little bit of help from Dr. Kelso.

"Scrubs" stars Zach Braff as J.D., Sarah Chalke as Elliot Reid, Donald Faison as Chris Turk, John C. McGinley as Dr. Perry Cox, Ken Jenkins as Dr. Bob Kelso and Eliza Coupe as Denise. Joining the cast are Kerry Bishe as Lucy, Michael Mosley as Drew and Dave Franco as Cole. "Scrubs" is produced by ABC Studios. Bill Lawrence ("Spin City") is the executive producer and creator.

"Better Off Ted" is a satirical office comedy about successful good guy, Ted Crisp, who runs research and development at Veridian Dynamics, a company with a morally questionable approach to its employees. Whether it's standing by a memo with a typo that encourages employees to now (as opposed to not) use offensive language with each other, to championing interoffice dating based on DNA matching to save money on health care, Veridian is a company that puts its bottom line first and employees last. Ted's a single dad to a seven year old girl, and he loves his job, but he's starting to take a closer look at the company's extremely dubious practices.

"Better Off Ted" stars Jay Harrington as Ted, Portia de Rossi as Veronica, Andrea Anders as Linda, Jonathan Slavin as Phil, Malcolm Barrett as Lem and Isabella Acres as Rose. The series is produced by Twentieth Century Fox Television. Victor Fresco ("My Name Is Earl," "Andy Richter Controls the Universe") is executive producer and creator of the series.

'BREAKFAST CLUB' ALUMNI ANTHONY MICHAEL HALL TO GUEST STAR ON HOLIDAY EPISODE OF NBC'S COMEDY SERIES 'COMMUNITY'

Universal City, Ca., November 2ns, 2009.                Anthony Michael Hall, who rose to fame in the '80s as one of the members of the infamous "brat pack," will guest star in the holiday episode of NBC's comedy series "Community" airing Thursday, December 10 (8-8:30p.m. ET). Hall will haunt the halls of Greendale Community College as a campus bully who ultimately challenges Jeff (Joel McHale) to a fight. "Community" is a smart comedy series about a band of misfits who form a study group and like in the classic film "Breakfast Club" end up learning a lot more about themselves than they do about their course work.

Hall rose to fame in the 80's with breakthrough performances in John Hughes' series of teenage angst films, he captured the shy, withdrawn, and often overlooked pain that we've all gone through. As an adult, his transitional film work and starring role in the successful TV series, "The Dead Zone" showed us that drama is well within his grasp as an actor. Most recently, his work on "The Dead Zone" has allowed him to extend his talents into producing.

FOX SAYS “YES WE CAN” TO “AMERICAN DAD” 

Los Angeles, Ca., October 30th, 2009.               FOX has ordered a sixth season of AMERICAN DAD, the animated series featuring security-obsessed CIA agent and devoted family man STAN SMITH (Seth MacFarlane). Recently honored with an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Animated Program, AMERICAN DAD airs Sundays (9:30-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

 

The series continues to follow the twisted trials and tribulations of die-hard Republican and card-carrying NRA member Stan Smith and his hilariously odd family in Langley Falls, VA. Stan’s not-so-smart wife FRANCINE (Wendy Schaal) has an unfaltering loyalty that allows her to turn a blind eye toward Stan’s unabashed arrogance. Stan constantly butts heads with his 18-year-old daughter HAYLEY (Rachael MacFarlane), who knows just how to push her father’s buttons by being liberal in both her beliefs and in the number of hippie boyfriends she chooses to date. Hayley’s 14-year-old brother is the geeky yet cocky STEVE (Scott Grimes), a kid who seems to be on the constant verge of puberty but can’t quite make sense of the opposite sex. The Smith household is rounded out by two rather unconventional members: ROGER (Seth MacFarlane), the selfish and sarcastic space alien who lives in the attic and drinks like it’s always happy hour, and KLAUS (Dee Bradley Baker), an attention-starved goldfish with the brain of a German guy who is always willing to vocalize his opinions even if no one is listening.

NBC'S 'SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE' RETURNS NOVEMBER 7 WITH POP & COUNTRY SUPERSTAR TAYLOR SWIFT AS HOST AND MUSICAL GUEST

New York, N.Y.,  October 30th, 2009.               "Saturday Night Live" returns in November with three straight shows, beginning November 7 with Pop & Country superstar Taylor Swift taking the stage at studio 8H as both host and musical guest.

In 2008, Swift sold more albums than any other recording artist in all genres of music and her singles top both the Pop and Country radio charts. Her sophomore release, "Fearless," was voted 2009's Album of the Year by the Academy of Country Music and has spent more weeks in the #1 position atop Billboard's Top 200 all-genre CD sales chart than any other album this decade. She's had gold and platinum albums in sixteen countries, and her career record sales now top 10 million albums worldwide.

Making her SNL debut, January Jones will host November 14. Jones currently stars in AMC's critically acclaimed Emmy, Golden Globe and SAG Award-winning series, "Mad Men." Her performance has earned her a 2009 Golden Globe nomination for "Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series - Drama." Jones is set to begin production on two back to back features first starring with Nicolas Cage in "Hungry Rabbit Jumps" and then with Liam Neeson in "Unknown White Male." Jones stars opposite Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Kenneth Branagh in the film "Pirate Radio," opening November 6.

Three-time Grammy award-winning recording artists, The Black Eyed Peas, will be making their second appearance on SNL. Their most recent album, "The E.N.D.," helped The Black Eyed Peas make music history, with the longest successive stay at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart with 26 consecutive weeks at #1. The single 'I Gotta Feeling' took the top slot for 14 weeks, while 'Boom Boom Pow' spent 12 weeks at #1. This is the longest consecutive stay for an artist in the Billboard chart's 51-year history.

Actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt hosts SNL for the first time November 21. He recently received rave reviews for his performance in the critically acclaimed film, "(500) Days of Summer," as well as for his directorial debut with the short film, "Sparks." Gordon-Levitt is currently working on Christopher Nolan's "Inception" opposite Leonardo DiCaprio and will next be seen starring opposite Lynn Collins in "Uncertainty" and opposite Natalie Portman and Rainn Wilson in "Hesher."

For the first time in almost a decade, the Dave Matthews Band will be taking the SNL stage. DMB recently completed a sold-out U.S. five-month tour. In the summer of 2009, the band released their first studio album in four years, "Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King," which debuted at # 1 on Billboard and went Platinum shortly thereafter - tying DMB as one of the only two musical groups to release five consecutive studio albums at #1.

NBC UNIVERSAL ANNOUNCES RECIPIENTS HONORED AT FOURTH-ANNUAL 'SHORT CUTS' DIVERSITY FILM FESTIVAL

Universal City, Ca.,  October 30th, 2009.                NBC Universal paid tribute to the recipients of its finalist filmmakers in the company's fourth-annual "Short Cuts" Diversity Film Festival last week in the categories of Best Film, Best Actor and Best Director. The announcements were made by Angela Bromstad, President, Primetime Entertainment, NBC and Universal Media Studios.

Named as Best Film was "Thank You for Washing," from Camille Brown as Brown received a pilot script deal with Universal Media Studios. In addition, Brown earned a finalist position in the NBC Directors Fellowship Program for 2010. Mary Theresa Archbold also was honored for her performance in the independent film "Jazz Hand," and as a result, earned a one-year talent holding deal with NBC.

Likewise, Dempsey Tillman was chosen as Best Director for directing "Collector." Tillman also gained the Syfy "Behind the Scenes" Award for "Collector" and earned a special international directing assignment from the Syfy Channel.

"We always look forward to the 'Short Cuts' Film Festival that provides a prominent showcase and reward for so many talented film artists," said Bromstad. "It's refreshing to see the wonderful diversity of ideas and NBC Universal is proud to share in the encouraging results."

"This annual event is really coming into its own as a viable platform for so many promising filmmakers to gain notoriety for their outstanding work from powerful industry leaders," said Paula Madison, Executive Vice President of Diversity, NBC Universal. "The expanding program reflects NBC Universal's ongoing commitment to promote more diversity and opportunities that will result in tremendous creative gains in years to come."

This year's finalist filmmakers convened at the Directors Guild of America in Los Angeles on October 22.

Dwayne Perkins, correspondent for NBC's "The Jay Leno Show," hosted the exclusive screening of the top-six "Short Cuts" finalist films featuring a diverse production team, cast or theme.

"Short Cuts" is a company-wide initiative and is one of many live events produced by NBC's Talent Diversity Division with the goal of cultivating diversity both in front of and behind the camera. This year's panel of judges includes Jeff Ingold (NBC), Charlie Andrews (Universal Media Studios), Quan Phung (Stuber Productions), Karen O'Hara (Syfy) and Karen Horne (NBC).

Selected from over 1,400 submissions, this year's finalists also included: Lin Oeding ("Interpretation"); Hector Montano Jaramillo ("Tiene Usted Una Pluma?") and Sebastián Davis ("Magellan"). Semi-final films were screened earlier before an industry audience in conjunction with the New York Television Festival in September 2009.

Corporate support of this year's initiative came from sponsors such as the Hollywood Reporter, Sheraton Universal Hotel, Nuvo Sparkling Liqueur and The Giantto Group.

NBC Universal's "Short Cuts" Film Festival was founded with actor/writer/comedian Wil Sylvince in 2005 to display and celebrate diversity in the entertainment industry. The objective is to allow creative individuals from every community the opportunity to present their material in front of key decision makers in the industry. When Sylvince is not working on the "Short Cuts" Film Festival, he performs on the national comedy circuit, on college campuses and in festivals worldwide.

In 2008, "Strange Faculty," by creator/producers Marty Johnson, Will Luera and Mark Odlum, shared Best Film honors with writer/director Rafael Del Toro's "6ft. in 7min." "Strange Faculty" follows three deeply flawed teachers who receive superpowers when they're struck by lightning during a carpool. "6ft. in 7min" is a dark comedy about an East Indian man who, thanks to his parents' traditional ways, has never had a normal childhood. Del Toro was also honored as Best Director, while Jose Compre was feted as Best Actor for his performance in another finalist film "Little Bones."
