Bourdain and Colicchio Talk Top Chef All-Stars

The premiere of Top Chef: All-Stars is tonight, and naturally, everyone's very excited. Including the show's judges Anthony Bourdain and Tom Colicchio, who participated in a media call to promote the event, and spoke as candidly as the two of them are famous for. Bourdain in particular really let loose. Did you know that he's a Dora fan?

No Ordinary Family: A Hard-and-Fast Interview with Julie Benz and Michael Chiklis

Part of the reason we keep going back to ABC's new super-powers show No Ordinary Family is the cast; specifically, Shield alum Michael Chiklis as the family's super-strong dad and Dexter's Julie Benz as the super-fast mom. With a new episode airing tonight, we were able to get an exclusive one-on-two interview with the power couple, and ask them about costumes, fans and where all the super-bad guys are at.

We Love L.A.: Terrence Howard Discusses Law & Order

Law & Order: Los Angeles premiered last week, but tonight is the first episode with star Terrence Howard, who'll be alternating Deputy District Attorney duties with Alfred Molina. We sat in on a conference call with the accomplished actor and producer René Balcer to find out how he prepared for the role and how the show decides where to shoot.

 Community's Joel McHale and Donald Glover Fill in our Lesson Plan

The new season of Community premieres tonight, and since it was one of our favorite new shows last year, and the cliffhanger finale had us dying for more episodes, we jumped at the chance to do a last-minute interview with stars Joel McHale and Donald Glover. They told us what we can look forward to this season, where they think their characters' love lives are headed, and which reality shows they'd kick ass at.

A Secret Spy Chat with the Sexspionage Agents of Undercovers

NBC's entire fall slate is pretty much riding on Undercovers being a megahit (and if that doesn't work, there's always The Event!), so the show's two stars, Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Boris Kodjoe, recently participated in a media call to address all kinds of insider info about the new show. No one had the guts to ask them their odds on early cancellation (I'll admit, even I was too afraid), but it's still sort of interesting. Highlights below.

Blair Underwood on The Event: 'It's Very Eventful'

The much advertised (nay, relentlessly advertised) premiere of The Event is finally happening tonight, so therefore the show's two biggest stars -- Jason Ritter and Blair Underwood -- participated in a media call to face their fears of early cancellation and meandering plot focus. Highlights of said call (parts of which were actually kind of reassuring!) after the jump.

Chuck: It's Morgan's World, Josh Gomez Just Lives in It

Everyone knows Chuck is a spy series, but it's just as much a comedy series and a key element of that comedy is Chuck's best friend and sidekick, Morgan Grimes. With the new season kicking off this week, and Morgan recently integrated into the CIA's Team Bartoswki, we were happy to sit in on a conference call with actor Josh Gomez and executive producer Chris Fedak to debrief us on how the season will start and where it will end up.

Linus and Losties: Michael Emerson Sums Up His Lost Experience

Lost is back in the news again, with the show's props getting auctioned off this week, the final episodes coming out on DVD next week (along with a brand-new epilogue) and the show nominated in several categories at the Emmys the following weekend. Michael Emerson, who plays the morally ambivalent Ben Linus, is both the star of the epilogue and a nominee for the Best Supporting Actor Emmy, which means he's the one making the rounds to all of the media outlets to talk about all things Lost. Also, he doesn't really have any new projects in the works, so his calendar is open. We joined a virtual roundtable (basically, one long Twitter conversation, hence the short answers) to find out what he thought of the finale, Ben's story arc and living in Hawaii for five years.

Bachelorette Ali's Post-Finale Interview, Translated

Media calls with television talent are often an overly-coached exercise in futility, and though yesterday's ABC call with Ali Fedotowsky, Roberto and Chris L. wasn't quite as pointless as an American Idol call, it was pretty goddamn close. So I just decided to post the real questions and answers with a helpful little translation of what these Bachelorette-ites really mean with their scripted answers. Enjoy, and feel free to play along in the comments.

Let's Talk About the Salahis with the New D.C. Housewives, Shall We?

The ever-expanding Real Housewives empire puts another flag in the ground tomorrow night as Bravo sets their cameras on some attention-starved D.C. ladies. There will be cat fights, as there are always cat fights, but this time a few of these cat fights will be about issues. Political issues! Oh, how scholarly. And what fun! I recently joined a promotional conference call with two of the ladies -- Mary Amons and Stacie Scott Turner, neither of whom crashed a White House party, so you've never heard of them -- to find out what's in store for this season. They basically think the show is Meet the Press, which is just absolutely precious.
