The rumor is that Jason Sudeikis is also leaving, but he hasn't announced anything. In this skit, they sing goodbye to the show in character. Fred reprises his British rocker character Ian Rubbish. Hader, Sudeikis and Taran Killam make up the rest of the band which is called The Bizarros. They play a song called "Lovely Day." They get joined onstage by some pretty amazing musicians: Carrie Brownstein of both Sleater-Kinney and Portlandia, Steve Jones of The Sex Pistols, Aimee Mann, Michael Penn, J. Mascis of Dinosaur Jr., and Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth. Fred seemed genuinely sad to be leaving. The words "I Heart LM" on Fred's guitar strap is him sending love to producer Lorne Michaels.

They did the fight scene themeselves, they didn't use stunt doubles and they wanted to make the sequence very intense. Michelle joked that this is where all those Tae-Bo classes come in handy. Dwaye Johnson says they threw caution to the wind, and from the clips it certainly looks that way.

The four men are all single for various reasons -- the newest guy just got left literally at the alter during their wedding when the love of her life burst into the church and asked her to run away with him. So she did. Shalhoub's character leads the group who live in an upscale apartment complex while getting back into the dating scene. Love the scene when they decide to break into Catholic school.

J.J. Abrams and J.H. Wyman (Fringe) created the show which is set in the year 2048. Urban is a cop who survived a vicious attack who has awakened from a nearly two year coma. All human cops are now required to be partnered with an android police officer, which Urban's character despises. After an unfortunate incident with his assigned partner, he requests a replacement android. He gets a new partner Dorian (Michael Ealy) who is considered "defective" as he is programmed with emotions. But this discontinued android model is just what Urban's character needs. This is a great trailer.

James Spader stars as Raymond "Red" Reddington, an ex-government agent turned international most wanted criminal who turns himself into the FBI.We don't know why Reddington left his job to become an international crime broker, but he clearly knows more than he's saying. He offers to help the FBI find a terrorist so long as he can work with a young profiler, Elizabeth "Liz" Keen, who seems to have no connection with him. Spader is amazing and can easily carry a series on his own. The action and mystery make this one look like a potentially big hit. The show also stars Megan Boone, Diego Klattenhoff, Harry Lennix, Ryan Eggold, and Ilfenesh Hadera. We'll definitely be tuning in.

John challenged Jimmy to a Lip Sync-Off. Each comedian chose three songs to lip synch in a head to head battle. Jimmy opened with a moving rendition of "Don't Cry Out Loud" by Melissa Manchester. Then John countered with a very accurate performance of Katie Perry's Teenage Dream. Jimmy fired back with "They want EFX" by Das EFX. So John went old school rap with "Peter Piper" by Run DMC with a smooth drop mic move at the end. Jimmy then finished up with "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" as sung by 1984 Star Search Champion Sam Harris. But then John pulled out all the stops with "I'll Make Love to You" by Boyz II Men which turned into a duet.

Matt introduces Zach by saying, "He plays the odd but sometimes lovable Alan. Alan has been off his meds for six months when this movie starts. I told you to never to go off your meds, why did you do that?" Zach joked, "Going off my meds is all part of the research. Alan goes off his medication and the guys are worried about him so they try to take him to an institution." Zach said he worries that people will still want to hear about these characters, but he's happy with the movie. Matt mentioned Zach's well-reviewed stint as host on Saturday Night Live and Zach asked Matt if he'd ever hosted. Matt said he has not hosted it and they would never ask him, but admitted he'd do it in a minute if it was offered Zach offered to make some calls for him to make it happen.

The film made $175 million, which is the second biggest opening of all time. Only Marvel's The Avengers had a bigger opening. The Avengers opened with a $207 million weekend last year. You can see the chart of the biggest weekend openings here. Four of the top five are superhero films.  There was not another film anywhere near Iron Man 3. Pain and Gain made $7.6 million, which was about $167 million less than Iron Man 3 made. It was followed by 42, Oblivion, The Croods, THe Big Wedding and Mud. You can see the complete box office report here. The big question now is whether or not Iron Man 3 will be able to hold the box office next weekend when The Great Gatsby opens. The Avengers managed to dominate for several weekends last year. That will be difficult for Iron Man 3 to do, especially with Star Trek Into Darkness opening on May 17th.

The film stars Jamie Foxx as President James Sawyer. Channing Tatum plays John Cale, a Capitol policeman, who comes to the rescue when the White House is attacked. This new trailer reveals some funny moments, such as when the president loses the rocket launcher.

When Kuklinski was finally arrested his family allegedly had no idea what he really did for a living. Actor Michael Shannon plays the killer. The film arrives in theaters on May 3. You can view the trailer here. Winona thinks Deborah must have known something was up, but really liked her clothes and standard of living, so she looked the other way. Kuklinski reportedly killed over 100 people over a twenty year period so Winona may be right there were signs and clues somewhere along the way that the wife may have noticed.

He said he got ahold of some behind the scenes footage from HBO and showed the crowd this video. In it, Spielberg explains that after the success of Lincoln he wanted to make Obama. He said he chose Daniel Day-Lewis to play President Obama, because he's so good at getting inside a character's head. He did have some trouble with the prosthetic ears, though. Tracey Morgan co-stars as Joe Biden. Take a look: Posted on April 28, 2013 |
