The first new 2010 episode of rookie CBS sitcom Accidentally on Purpose is called “The Odd Couples,” and it airs on Monday, January 11.

Things get a tad tense when Abby and Nick plan a supposedly surprise baby shower for Billie and Zack.

The November 9 premiere of the new TBS late-night talk show Lopez Tonight is almost here.

The latest entrant in the late-night chat wars features George Lopez sitcom alum and comedian George Lopez as host.

Emmy-winning New Adventures of Old Christine star Wanda Sykes has a brand-new self-titled late-night talk show launching on Fox at 11pm ET on Saturday, November 7.

Billed as “irreverent,” The Wanda Sykes Show is a weekly hourlong series featuring the comedian, actress, and author as host. Each episode will include her personal and unique opinion about the latest events in a variety of areas, such as pop culture and politics, along with both comedy and location segments.

Heads up! The New Adventures of Old Christine’s Emmy-winning regular Wanda Sykes is set to visit NBC’s The Jay Leno Show on October 7 between 10pm and 11pm ET.

The multi-talented actress, author, and comedienne has a brand-new talk show of her own coming up on Fox this fall, so the two entertainers should have plenty of things to discuss.

The title says it all. On September 29, The New Adventures of Old Christine’s Emmy-winning leading lady Julia Louis-Dreyfus will drop by The Jay Leno Show.

Also joining the host on that episode is another huge comedy favorite: Soap, Saturday Night Live, City Slickers, etcetera, etcetera veteran Billy Crystal.
Catch the fun at 10pm ET on NBC and, if you’re game, wait around until 11:34pm ET for The Office’s John Krasinski and The King of Queens‘ Patton Oswalt on The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien.
The New Adventures of Old Christine airs Wednesdays on CBS at 8pm ET and The Office airs Thursdays …read more

Have you been watching the new 10pm version of The Jay Leno Show on NBC? Yeah, me neither. But, if you enjoy the work of Parks and Recreation star Amy Poehler, you might want to tune in tonight.

The former Saturday Night Live player is stopping by the primetime talk show on Tuesday, September 22, along with funnyman Paul Reubens, best known to the world at large as Pee Wee Herman.

Basic cable’s TBS made a fantastic announcement this week: comic and actor George Lopez has a new late-night show scheduled to premiere on the network in November 2009.

Fans will remember that Lopez was the star of the self-titled family sitcom George Lopez, which ran on ABC for a very respectable six seasons and 120 episodes from 2002 to 2007. Follow the jump to learn more about his latest TV project.

Tonight at 8:30pm EST, CBS’ How I Met Your Mother will welcome back That 70s Show alumna Laura Prepon, who’s reprising her role as Ted’s college ex-girlfriend Karen from the last new episode “Sorry, Bro.”
During “The Front Porch,” Ted gets into hot water with Karen when she discovers earrings that belong to someone else in his bed. It turns out Lily is behind the whole incident, and it’s not her first time deliberately interfering in one of Ted’s relationships. Bad, bad girl! And she looks so deceptively sweet and innocent.

You’ve heard the news, right? Late-night yakker Conan O’Brien and his former 1993–2000 Late Night sidekick Andy Richter are joining forces again.
The auspicious coupling will take place when O’Brien takes the helm of his new gig on NBC’s Tonight Show, which will thence be known as The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien. I get goosebumps just writing that since I’ve never been a fan of The Chin.
Richter will assume announcing duties, as well as an occasional part in comedy segments. His sidekick role won’t involve couch work, however, which is fine by me, as long as he …read more

It was *so* good to catch funnyman Eddie Izzard, last seen on the small screen in the prematurely canceled FX dramedy The Riches, hanging out with Conan O’Brien on his chat show early this morning. If you didn’t already know, the British standup comedian and standout actor has a prime role in the upcoming Tom Cruise mega-buzz flick Valkyrie.
The movie is about Hitler and Nazis and assassination attempts and a whole bunch of other depressing whatnot, which is why I’ve been having a mighty hard time understanding why it will be released on Christmas Day. With Eddie in …read more
