ROSIE O'DONNELL RETURNS TO TELEVISION ON NBC WITH LIVE VARIETY SPECIAL

Burbank, Ca., October 2, 2008.             Emmy Award-winning talk show host, producer and TV personality Rosie O'Donnell will return to television on NBC with "Rosie's Variety Show" an hour-long variety special featuring a wide array of celebrity guests, musical acts, comedy skits and a giant primetime giveaway for both the in-studio and home audiences – all for a live broadcast on Wednesday, November 26 from 8-9 p.m. ET (the night before Thanksgiving). The announcement was made by Craig Plestis, Executive Vice President, Alternative Programming, Development and Specials, NBC Entertainment.

"We are excited to have Rosie back on TV at NBC," said Plestis. "Together with Rosie, we are reinventing the variety show. This special will be first and best since it will be live and the audience will never know what will happen next."

Said O'Donnell, "This is a dream come true for any performer. Old time variety, live from New York with a nod to Ed Sullivan, Carol Burnett and memories of Sonny and Cher."

O'Donnell will bring back the grand tradition of the variety show format to television, much like such iconic series as "The Carol Burnett Show" and "The Ed Sullivan Show," while including brand-new elements for a new generation of fans.

The special will feature a topical monologue, musical production numbers and hilarious comedy sketches from Rosie and her in-house acting company, as well as performances from today's hottest artists. In addition, the special will showcase a spectacular array of guest celebrities and many surprises…and it's all live!

A signature element of the special will also spotlight a massive primetime giveaway in which the home audience will have a chance to win incredible prizes – along with the studio audience.

Additional details of the special will be announced at a later date.

O'Donnell was last seen as moderator on the 10th season of "The View." In May of 2007, Time magazine named her as one of the "100 Most Influential People in the World" for its "Time 100" cover story.

For six years, O'Donnell was host and executive producer of the critically acclaimed, Emmy-winning and nationally syndicated talk/variety series "The Rosie O'Donnell Show." In her first season in "The Rosie O'Donnell Show," O'Donnell won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Talk Show Host. She continued her success for five consecutive seasons by winning Daytime Emmys for both Outstanding Talk Show Host and Outstanding Talk Show. She also won a Primetime Emmy for "The 52nd Annual Tony Awards."

O'Donnell has a starred in wide-ranging film and television roles. In 1992, she made her feature film debut in "A League of Their Own," starring opposite Tom Hanks, Geena Davis and Madonna and went on to appear in such hits as "Sleepless in Seattle," "The Flintstones" and "Harriet the Spy." On television she made her dramatic debut starring in the Hallmark Hall of Fame production "Riding the Bus with My Sister," directed by Angelica Huston. Most recently she guest starred in FX's acclaimed series "Nip/Tuck."

A best selling author and star of the Broadway stage, O'Donnell also keeps up with cultural trends, starting her own award-winning blog (Rosie.com) where she publishes photos, artwork and corresponds directly with her fans. A tireless crusader for children, O'Donnell established the "Rosie's for All Kids Foundation" in 1997 and "Rosie's Broadway Kids" in 2003.

“TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES” LAUNCHES “AMBUSH” AT WWW.FOX.COM/TERMINATOR/AMBUSH

Los Angeles, October 6th, 2008.            Game enthusiasts and TERMINATOR fans alike can now be at the center of the battle between humans and the machines with “Ambush,” a game based on TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES, the hit series that airs Mondays (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. “Ambush,” a free massive multi-player online (MMO) game, can be played at www.fox.com/terminator/ambush. The first MMO playable on iPhones and iPod Touch devices, “Ambush” is currently available for download at the Apple App Store at www.itunes.com/appstore.

“Ambush” pits human against machine. Players choose to engage as a human or a Terminator in the fight to protect or eliminate Skynet, the computer system programmed to destroy the world. The player’s goal is to predict the movement of his enemies throughout the virtual city and then set traps to terminate them, all while remaining undetected by other players. iPhone players survive within the virtual city by using their GPS function to avoid traps set by their online opponents. Log in and join the battle at www.fox.com/terminator/ambush.

This season on TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES, life for the Connors intensifies as their relationships are challenged and the dynamics of their roles begin to change. As they continue to hunt down Skynet (in order to stop the annihilation of the human race), JOHN CONNOR (Thomas Dekker) must confront his destiny to become the leader he’s meant to be. Struggling with John’s independence, SARAH CONNOR (Lena Headey) is as desperate as ever to protect him from Skynet and prepare him for the future. John’s new friend RILEY (Leven Rambin) challenges CAMERON (Summer Glau), John’s cyborg protector, for his affection while ELLISON (Richard T. Jones) finds himself embroiled with a T-1001, CATHERINE WEAVER (Shirley Manson). Also this season, the future begins to haunt DEREK REESE (Brian Austin Green), and CROMARTIE (Garret Dillahunt) comes face-to-face with John Connor.

More detailed descriptions of a selection of the series follow:

"Loving Larry" – A determined group of twenty-something misfits seek to change their luck with the ladies by creating a fake Bachelor-style reality show. When their phony casting call results in scores of gorgeous women lined up down the block, the lovable losers ignore their lack of resources, money and know-how, and actually try to pull it off.

This series is a 60Frames Entertainment Production.

"Love At First Sight & Other Dangers" – Writer/Director Scott Burns ("The Bourne Ultimatum") brings to life a double-sided look at love in these modern-day vignettes that demonstrate how love can be comedic, dramatic and sometimes even surreal. Whether it's catching up with an old flame or sparking up a new one, desire, pain and pleasure are all bound together in the mystery we call love. 60Frames financed and released two original episodes, and is working with the NBC Universal Digital Studio to extend the series.

Creator/Director/Writer/Producer: Scott Z. Burns

"Mr. Miss Teen U.S.A." – An inexperienced, yet sexually obsessed 18 year-old wins a sexual discrimination lawsuit, allowing him to enter the Miss Teen USA Pageant, with one thing on his mind.

This series is a 60Frames Entertainment Production.

"Four Corners" – Scattered to the extreme corners of the country, four teams of four compete in challenges, decipher clues and engage in a battle of wits as they race to the center of the United States.

The first team to arrive at the final destination, having completed all of their tasks and challenges, wins a coveted prize package and bragging rights. This series is an NBC Universal Digital Studio production.

In this corrupt world of fraudulent politicians, dirty cops and compromised businessmen …nobody is what they seem. This series is a 60Frames Entertainment Production.

Creator/Writer/Producer: Tom Fontana

"The Remnants" – From Writer/Director/Producer John August ("Big Fish," "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," "Charlie's Angels") comes the quirky and comedic story of a group of friends who search for answers and survival, upon realizing they are some of society's last living inhabitants in post-something Los Angeles.

QUOTABLES FROM NBC'S 'LATE NIGHT WITH CONAN O'BRIEN'

SEPTEMBER 29 – OCTOBER 3

"Today, the House of Representatives voted against the Wall Street bailout plan – a plan which House minority leader John Boehner called 'a crap sandwich.' Congress hasn't given up, they're already working on a new plan they call 'a crap sandwich with cheese.'"

"As I said, earlier today the House of Representatives failed to get enough votes to pass the Wall Street bailout plan. Since that didn't work they're going to attack an even bigger problem - bailing out the New York Mets."

"Today when the stock marked closed it was down 777 points, which is the biggest point drop in American history. As a result, President Bush was able to cross off the tenth and final item on his administration's bucket list."

"The first presidential debate was held Friday and many observers are split on who won. Some say Barack Obama won by showing he could hold his own, and others say that John McCain won by showing he could hold his bladder."

"Critics are still analyzing Sarah Palin's interview with Katie Couric and they're saying she was halting, repetitive and stumped on basic questions. In other words, Palin appeared very presidential."

"Hugh Hefner has asked Sarah Palin to pose nude for Playboy magazine. Palin said she'd agree to pose for Playboy as long as there's no interview."

"This week, the Mexican government launched a program to fight obesity. Mexico's spokesperson said, 'We have to do something about obesity, our people keep getting stuck in the tunnels.'"

"Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad recently admitted that despite his earlier claims there ARE some homosexuals in Iran. Then he said, 'Unfortunately, I had to find out the hard way.'"

"One of Britney Spears' ex-boyfriends is trying to sell a sex tape of Britney that he claims is two hours long. Apparently it's one minute of sex followed by 1 hour and 59 minutes of Britney eating beef jerky."

"In Europe, a restaurant has opened that specializes in food made from human breast milk. It's apparently the perfect restaurant for any guy who's ever been to Hooters and thought 'I wish they took it just a little bit further.'"

"Yesterday the Dow Jones Average dropped 777 points, which wiped out $1.2 trillion dollars in the stock market. Financial experts say the last time so much money disappeared in one day was when Oprah left her purse in a cab."

"Political experts say that if a new version of the economic bailout plan is going to pass – significant changes are going to have to be made. For instance, Congress is going to remove the section of the plan that says: 'Sweet Jesus please let this work!'"

"John McCain says that the federal aid to Wall Street shouldn't be called a 'bailout,' but instead should be called a 'rescue.' McCain also said that he's not 'old,' he's 'geezer-ific.'"

"When asked why he voted against the economic bailout plan Congressman Paul Broun said, 'it's a huge cow patty with a piece of marshmallow stuck in the middle.' In a related story, don't have dinner at Congressman Paul Broun's house."

"Yesterday at the White House, President Bush was visited by Jewish leaders, who wished him a happy Jewish New Year. The visit upset Bush, because now he thinks he missed Jewish Christmas."

"China says it's planning to launch a manned space station by 2020. Officials say the Chinese space station will hold 1.4 Million astronauts."

"An aquarium in Japan is putting its dolphins on a diet because they got too fat to perform tricks. Workers at the aquarium knew they had a problem when they saw nacho cheese coming out of the dolphin's blowholes."

"Last night on 'Dancing with the Stars,' Lance Bass danced to the song 'I Kissed A Girl.' It was the show's most ironic moment since Mario Lopez danced to the song 'I'm the Mayor of Talent-land.'"

"Economists are now claiming that our nation's leaders didn't properly explain the bailout plan to the public. After hearing this, President Bush said, 'While you're at it, someone should explain it to me.'"

"It's been reported that John McCain is taking an herbal supplement to improve his memory. Apparently McCain is having trouble remembering why he picked Sarah Palin."

"Last night during an interview on CBS, Sarah Palin said, 'One of my best friends is a lesbian and I love her dearly.' After hearing this, Bill Clinton said, 'Prove it.'"

"New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg says he's interested in running again, but there's resistance because the law would have to be changed to allow for a third term. It's not that people have a big problem with Mike Bloomberg, they just don't want to give President Bush any ideas."

"This week on 'Survivor,' the network censors forgot to blur out a contestant's penis when it slipped out of his shorts. In a related story, the exact same thing happened on 'The News Hour with Jim Lehrer.'"

"Angelina Jolie announced that she is coming back to the United States next week. Jolie says she'll visit some orphanages here because now more than ever we need to buy American."

"Jerry Springer announced that he recently became a grandfather. After the birth the doctor slapped Springer's grandson and then the baby hit him over the head with a folding chair."

"Taco Bell announced today that it is going to post the calorie count on its menu. A spokesman for Taco Bell says that this will give their customers something to read in the bathroom."

"In Maryland, a man tried to sue a doctor for stapling his rectum shut, but case was thrown out. Afterwards, the judge tore the man a new one."

"Political experts say that to succeed in tonight's debate Sarah Palin needs to show that she has the same concerns as everyday Americans. For instance, Palin planned to start the debate by saying she's really troubled by John McCain's choice for Vice President."

"Now, there is a lot on the line in tonight's debate – Political experts say that one mistake by Sarah Palin tonight could be crushing to John McCain's campaign. However, they say 20 or 30 mistakes by Palin could be really funny."

"People are still talking about Sarah Palin's interview with Katie Couric where Palin was unable to answer a question about the Supreme Court. Apparently Palin thought the Supreme Court was a regular court with extra cheese."

"Larry Flynt announced he's making a porn movie with a Sarah Palin look-alike. John McCain called the idea "offensive, Barack Obama called it, "Inappropriate" and Bill Clinton said, 'He'll reserve judgment until he sees the film.'"

"A new study has found that the number of illegal immigrants coming into the United States has declined as our economy has faltered. When he heard this, President Bush said, 'Do I know how to fix a problem or what?'"

"According to a recent poll that just came out, the majority of McCain voters think the economy is in a normal downward cycle but the majority of Obama voters think the economy is in a long-term decline. Meanwhile, the majority of Ralph Nader voters collect empty beer cans along the highway."

"Jamie Lynn Spears and the father of her baby have apparently not broken up because they were spotted at an LSU football game. This marks the first time, they've been seen together in weeks and the first time, a member of the Spears family has ever been to a college."

"This week in New York City, a man pleaded guilty to harassing the Mets mascot. Not Mr. Met – the Mets OTHER new mascot – Collapsey McFailure."

"In Mexico, the world's fattest man has announced that he's getting married. He proposed by getting down on one knee – and he's still there."

"Last night's Vice Presidential debate between Joe Biden and Sarah Palin drew much higher ratings than the presidential debate. Biden attracted viewers who enjoyed his previous debate appearances – and Palin attracted viewers who enjoyed the movie 'Fargo.'"

"Today President Bush signed the Wall Street Bailout bill but he said that our economy continues to face serious challenges. Bush said he thought those challenges could be overcome as soon he leaves office in two months."

"Yesterday Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger gave a speech and said that California is running out of money and might need an emergency loan of $7 billion. Or he could have been ordering a sandwich – we have no idea."

"The other night in Milwaukee, a brawl broke out among people leaving a Celine Dion concert. Apparently, the people leaving early were in the way of the people trying to leave really early."

"Researchers at UCLA have found a way for women to have an orgasm in 3 minutes. Apparently his name is 'Antonio Banderas.'"

"In England, a man who escaped from more World War II prison camps than any other person, has died at the age of 95. He was buried yesterday and tunneled out today."

"The world's fattest man is getting married, and he says that he and his fiancée have a very active sex life. When asked to confirm this, his fiancée said: 'Help I can't breathe!'"
