Well, here's something more confusing than the health care reform bill: the new NBC late night schedule.



NBC is putting Jay Leno back on the late night lineup in a 30 minute program. That will move both Conan and Jimmy Fallon back a half hour and cancel Carson Daly. Poor Carson Daly. These network programmers are always playing God, why don't they just create a 25-hour day so everyone has a job?

Sarah Palin will become a Fox News contributor. She'll be based in her home state of Alaska and cover the local news there....like what's going on in Russia.

At the age of 93, Ernest Borgnine is starring in a new Hallmark Channel movie. Don't try adjusting your set. To make Ernie feel at home, the film was shot in sepia tones.
