Recently in Hollywood To TWoP: Hello There! Category

House's Lisa Edelstein Has Her Own Episode, Thinks You Don't Know Her Job Just as last November brought us a Wilson-centric House episode, tonight we'll be seeing an all-Cuddy one. We're just running through everybody, apparently. In support of the episode, Lisa Edelstein participated in a conference call to defend her job performance at PPTH that everyone hates, her relationship with Lucas that everyone hates, and also to address the obvious inevitability possibility of pining for House when if she's ever single again. Read on for highlights.

Human Target: Jackie Earle Haley Talks Movies, Masks and Make-Up

His return to Hollywood stardom after an extended absence was a rapid one, but Jackie Earle Haley (Little Children, Semi-Pro, Watchmen) quickly surprised everyone by taking a role in the new action series Human Target. Playing computer expert Guerrero, Haley backs up the titular Christopher Chance, and Haley seems to be having a hell of a time. We got in on a conference call where he talked to us and the press about his upcoming debut as Freddy Krueger in the re-booted Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, as well as who he thinks Guerrero is and why TV seemed like the right idea.

Jason Sudeikis and Will Forte on Peyton Manning's Greatness, Contractual Obligations and How Much Money They Made Off Charles Barkley It's SNL seasonal clip show time! This time around, in honor of the timeliness of the Winter Olympics and the Super Bowl, NBC will be airing SNL Presents: Sports All-Stars this Sunday at 9 PM. Like the Gilly Christmas special, this one will be hosted by two divisive SNL characters, Jason Sudeikis and Will Forte's ESPN/Summer's Eve commentators Twinkle and Stink, and will feature what Lorne Michaels deems the best sketches in the show's sports-themed canon. How good he is at that is a whole 'nother matter, but what's important is that I jumped on a conference call with Jason Sudeikis and Will Forte to hear what the charming lads had to say about the special. And well, they're funny. Enjoy the highlights after the jump.

How I Met Your Mother: We Talk to the Show's Two Dads About Episode 100

As big How I Met Your Mother fans, we're pretty excited about tonight's 100th episode, which not only features Tim Gunn (we're also big Runway fans), but also a musical number! We sat in on a conference call with show creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas to find out how the episode came about, what NPH abilities we don't know about and when we can expect to see the Broadway musical version of HIMYM.

Sue Sylvester Unleashed: Jane Lynch Dishes Glee

During a phone press conference last Thursday, Jane Lynch (that's Sue Sylvester to you!) spoke with reporters about Glee and her hopes for its future. The Golden Globe nominee for Best Supporting Actress told reporters that her role is helpful to her emotional well-being, "I always say, 'When I put on that track suit I have a license to say anything I want. I think it's probably very good therapy."

The Chuck Season 3 Q&A with Zachary Levi

New episodes of Chuck are nearly here. If you are a fan like me, then you know how very exciting this news is, since the show was saved from near cancellation by wonderfully devoted fanatics who started eating Subway sandwiches to show their support. The news that it is back is even more exciting given that the show ended on a massive cliffhanger, where our favorite little neighborhood nerd uploaded an even more powerful version of the intersect into his brain and earned some kickass kung-fu moves for his troubles. So I'm anxiously anticipating this new season, and when I got the chance to chat with the show's star for a few minutes during the middle of a packed media day, I was thrilled. Hey, seven minutes is better than nothing! Here's our brief (albeit random) conversation.

Golden Boy: Ricky Gervais Previews His Global Hosting Gig

Ordinarily, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's decision to hire the first host of the Golden Globe Awards since 1995 would be considered a huge mistake. After all, one of the charms of that telecast -- aside from the fact that attendees are able to drink at their seats throughout the evening, of course -- is just how fast the ceremony usually flies by thanks to the lack of awkward, forced patter from an eager-to-please host. But in the case of the 2010 Globes (airing Jan. 17, 8PM ET, NBC), we're happy to have the evening in the hands of Ricky Gervais, who, when not creating brilliant television comedy, has spent the last several years often single-handedly enlivening dull awards shows as a presenter or winner. In an interview with us and other media outlets, he explained how he's going to bring his signature style to his role as MC for what has ordinarily been a three-hour schmooze fest.

'I Choose Art Every Time': Ricky Gervais on His Office, Our Office and the Decade's Best TV

Ricky Gervais started this decade on the fringes of British radio. He'll start the next one hosting a major awards show (the Golden Globes, airing Jan. 17, 8PM ET, NBC). In between, among many other considerable achievements, he co-created and starred in what many would consider to be not only one of the best television shows of the decade, but of all time: The Office, seven and a half hours of perfectly calibrated, sometimes agonizing, dark comedy. As his opportunity to reach his biggest viewing audience to date approaches, Gervais spoke to us and other media outlets about his ground-breaking show, its U.S. version and his favorite American programming.

Men of a Certain Age: Scott Bakula and Andre Braugher Talk About Their Age

It's an unusual group of guys, to be sure. Scott Bakula is known for his science-fiction roles on Quantum Leap, Star Trek: Enterprise and Chuck. Andre Braugher is best known as a cop on Homicide and Hack and a doctor on Gideon's Crossing. And, of course, everybody loves comedian Ray Romano. Together in Men of a Certain Age, they're three odd musketeers, but they provide a little something for everyone when they sit down at their table in the diner to talk about life, work, families and women. We sat in on a roundtable with Bakula to talk about his one-foot-out-of-the-game actor character, and later with Braugher to find out about his car-salesman family man. (We gave Romano a pass.) Plus: Bakula's Chuck situation and Braugher's Star Trek dream!

House's Robert Sean Leonard on Having His Very Own Episode, Why Wilson is Such a Weirdo, and All the Many Reasons He'll Never Hook Up with Cuddy After five-plus seasons, tonight we will finally get to see what Wilson does all day when he's not housing House, paying for House's lunch, getting hornswoggled by House, getting harassed by House, bailing House out of whatever trouble he's currently in, etc. Because good or bad, it's an all-Wilson episode cleverly entitled "Wilson" tonight, folks. To promote the blessed event, the delightful Robert Sean Leonard participated in a conference call to discuss all things Wilson, and we hopped on to give you the highlights. Enjoy after the jump.
