Click through for the whole story, plus the latest on Joe the Plumber NOT making out with an SNL regular, whatever the heck's up with King of the Hill, whether Jennie Garth's visiting the new Melrose Place, the sad, funny life of Johnny Carson, and how Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman took their breakup semi-public.
-- If you guessed that Sarah Palin would be unhappy with her portrayal on this week's Saturday Night Live, you'd be partially right. She's at least pissed enough about it to essentially cede today's election to the Democrats and start talking about 2012, but she's not so pissed that she'll pass up on any free publicity that SNL or Tina Fey might give her between now and then. There's that dash of high-school bitchy!
-- While we're on weird election stuff, there was a rumor that Joe the Plumber got to make out with an unnamed SNL cast member at the afterparty this weekend, but a close examination of the original note on the subject seems to indicate that whoever broke the story wouldn't know an SNL cast member if they walked right up to them and called them "an ignorant slut." [via Videogum] UPDATED: This story gets even more ridiculous.
-- Fox has cancelled King of the Hill, but ABC still has creator Mike Judge's new animated family show, The Goode Family, on the burner for next year -- and they might even spring for a few more seasons of King of the Hill while they're at it, which would make King the second used sitcom they'd bought off another network after Scrubs. Come on, guys, was Cavemen really so bad that you've just given up?
-- We love how TV Guide asks whether Jennie Garth will be coming to the new Melrose Place reboot, even though the answer -- no -- is, like, a sentence into the article.
-- Sometimes we feel ancient because we remember how great Carson was. And now someone's gonna write a book about how much of a douche he actually was. Thanks.
-- And speaking of crying-on-the-inside talk show hosts, we missed this when it happened, but former couple Sarah Silverman and Jimmy Kimmel had a weird, awkward reunion on his show last week. Between this and Kimmel's kind of sadsack interview in GQ this month, we're sort of loving this guy a little.
