Today's TWoP News: January 15, 2010

The sun bursts through the clouds today after several days' worth of depressing news... except for the usual loads of crap Project Runway shovels on us. Come on!

On Friday, January 22nd, George Clooney's telethon to benefit earthquake victims in Haiti will now air on on all of the MTV channels, along with ABC, NBC, HBO, and CNN. The show will air 8-10 PM. For Dollhouse fans out there, the series finale will be pushed back until January 29th.

In his own attempt to better the world, Ricky Gervais has hinted about appearing on the American Office next season. It's too bad we've already seen a duel story arc, because a Michael Scott vs. David Brent showdown would be epic.

And in case a role on The Office and hosting the Golden Globes weren't enough, The Ricky Gervais Show, an animated version of the comedian's podcast, premieres on HBO February 19th. Also debuting on the network that night will be Funny or Die, a half hour sketch show based on Will Ferrell's comedy site, and the second season of Eastbound & Down. Whatever we did to deserve you, comedy line-up, it couldn't have been enough.

It's not all happy news for us, unfortunately: Heidi Klum says the next season of Project Runway will probably be in LA. Blech. You say, "Mixing it up!" We say, "Ruining it!"

CBS has announced they're renewing NCIS: Los Angeles and The Good Wife because apparently people like and watch those shows? How 'bout that.

We're glad that this late night stuff is leaving plenty of room for comedy as Conan puts an ad for the Tonight Show up on Craigslist. I wish him good luck -- that's where I found my subletter! Also, Kimmel eviscerated Leno last night on his own show. Watch and love.

Curious about what a new 10 PM timeslot means for scripted television? NBC has announced its post-Olympics schedule.
