The beautiful thing about the internet is when you're right about something in advance, you got proof! And we were so right about Jon Hamm getting booked for 30 Rock after his increasingly impressive appearance on the Lorne Michaels mothership last weekend.
And when you're wrong, well, you can always hit "Unpublish." Assuming, of course, that you still work for the same blog, ha ha. Anyways, we got all that and more, plus: the latest show to probably get cancelled, what a couple of Battlestar and The Wire's best actors are up to, Lorelai Gilmore's Broadway plans, and the New York Times trying to steal our thunder. Jerks!
-- According to Entertainment Weekly (where we borrowed that image, thanks guys, we can't stand to look at Photoshop right now!), Jon Hamm is being courted for a multi-episode arc on 30 Rock. It's a match made in heaven, actually, considering how wonderful and ratings-challenged both Mad Men and 30 Rock are. Nothing succeeds like combined on-the-bubble-cult-status!
-- Speaking of predictions, the New York Times seems to think that The West Wing deserves points for predicting the whole Obama-vs.-McCain thing with the whole Santos-vs.-Winick thing in its final year. We say that since the really interesting part of the election cycle this year was the primaries, we fail to be impressed, and also QUIT HOGGING OUR SPOTLIGHT, NEW YORK TIMES!
--'Til Death might not have to wait too much longer. Sorry, Nathan Lane, maybe you can be fake gay on Old Christine!
-- Lauren Graham, "Guys and Dolls", Broadway, must save $110.
-- Mary McDonnell is apparently following up her run on Battlestar Galactica with a stint on Grey's Anatomy, while Robert Wisdom (aka The Wire's Bunny Colvin, the force behind much of Season Three) guested as an angel on Supernatural last night after spending last year on Prison Break. In the words of a great philosopher, you take the good, you take the bad...
