Jimmy Fallon looks behind the curtain into the land of Oz

by Bob Sassone, posted Sep 3rd 2009 11:24AM
Dr. Mehmet Oz has a new show debuting on September 14 (thanks Oprah!), and the show is going to be taped right next to the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon studio at NBC. Last night he gave Fallon a tour.

Oh, if you're wondering why Fallon is taking off surgical gloves at the start of the tip, he had just given Oz a rectal exam.

Are you watching 7th Floor West?

by Bob Sassone, posted Jun 29th 2009 12:27PM
Every time I hear the name of Jimmy Fallon's "late night show soap opera" 7th Floor West, I think of Central Park West, the short-lived 90s soap from Darren Star that aired on CBS. I really liked that show, even if everyone else didn't. But this soap follows the adventures of Fallon and his staff their NBC studio. Here's the first episode, and you can watch the others (episode 7 debuts on July 13) at the 7th Floor West site.

Fallon is doing some clever regular bits on his show. Except "Lick it for Ten."

Bryan Singer in talks to direct Studio 54 pilot

Bryan Singer in talks to direct StudioSparkly dresses, disco tunes, platform shoes, Studio 54... it's all about the 1970's in Showtime's new drama, Studio, which centers on the iconic New York nightclub that brought it all home.

Bryan Singer -- undoubtedly one of the busiest guys in Hollywood -- is in talks to direct the pilot, with writer Chad Hodge and Hairspray producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron helming the project.

Studio will begin in the months leading up to the club's April 1977 opening. Though fictional, the series will revolve around the real-life co-founder of the club, the flamboyant Steve Rubell.

Friends co-creator developing series for CW

by Adam Finley, posted Oct 17th 2006 9:03PM

marta kauffmanFriends co-creator Marta Kauffman is developing a pilot for the CW with the working title Steps. The series will be a one-hour drama with some comedic elements set at a dance studio run by a family. Kauffman herself grew up in a family where dancing was important. Her mother danced herself when she was younger and later opened her own studio. If it seems weird that Kauffman is moving from an established network like NBC to the still young CW, she says it's because she wants the show to be somewhat under the radar to avoid the scrutiny it might receive on one of the major networks. The premise doesn't really appeal to me, personally, but then again, I'm not a big fan of dance shows. I never cared much for Fame, either. As long as the show doesn't have any cheesy dance numbers like the end of Dirty Dancing I'll probably check it out at least once.

BET inks deal with Film Roman

by Adam Finley, posted Aug 16th 2006 7:59AM
BETBET has been pushing to get into the animation game, and the network has just taken the next step by partnering with Film Roman, the animation studio behind both The Simpsons and King of the Hill, as well as other great but departed animated series such as The Critic, The Oblongs, Bobby's World, and Mission Hill. The combination of Film Roman's track record and comic artist Denys Cowan serving as vice prez of animation for BET could be a great thing for the network, at least I hope it is. My only expectation is that they try something different and offer animation fans another distinct choice from all the pre-existing cartoons that are already in production.

That kid from The Apprentice is running Trump's new studio

by Anna Johns, posted Jul 6th 2006 11:03AM
andy litinskySurprise, surprise. Donald Trump is opening up his own production studio and he has tapped a contestant from The Apprentice to run it. Anybody remember Andy Litinsky? He is the young college student from Harvard who appeared on season two of The Apprentice. He was fired-- only for being young. Three months after the show ended, Andy was hired by Trump to work as a project manager for his real estate ventures. Specifically, he managed the construction of the 64-story Trump International Hotel and Condominium in Las Vegas. Now he's been tapped to head up Trump's yet-to-be-named production company. The reason for starting it, according to Trump, is to develop new programs. I'd be totally skeptical of this venture, considering Trump's past with beauty pageants, except that Andy is in charge. Is he edgy? Who knows? He's young and completely inexperienced in television production; hopefully no preconceived notions about how "the industry" works. Perfect for accidentally stumbling upon some great hit!
