Let the 15-minute Steve Ca

In spite of all the conflicting reports, we know in our heart of hearts that 'The Office' would never dream of concluding its nine-season run on May 16 without somehow including Steve Carell's Michael Scott, without whom the series would never have thrived. The latest report almost definitely confirms that Carell will pop up in the coming finale, though official sources continually deny. Get the r

Holy cow! It's not even May and already NBC has taken drastic steps toward renewing five of its major drams, both new and old.

NBC isn't confirming either way, but find out how likely a final appearance from Steve Carell's Michael Scott is for '

'The Internship' star Vince Vaughn's recent 'SNL' hosting gig might have been a mixed bag of cobras, Vaughn not having hosted the late-night sketch comedy series in about 15 years, but the newest host revealed during the airing is more than enough to have us excited. 'The Hangover Part 3' star Zach Galifianakis will take the stage once again on May 4, joined by Icelandic group Of Monsters and Men,

Late last night we heard rumors that former '30 Rock' star Alec Baldwin had entered negotiations with NBC for a late-night talk show of his own, potentially filling the slot currently occupied by 'The Voice' host Carson Daly's own series 'Last Call.' Now, NBC has reportedly renewed 'Last Call' with Carson Daly for a 13th season, but does it put to bed any future with Alec Baldwin?

Alec Baldwin's post '30 Rock' future has always proved something of a mystery, with persistent rumors of a political career as the actor continues his run on Broadway's 'Orphans,' but could his own late-night talk show be in the works? Jimmy Fallon's 'Tonight Show' promotion will definitely shake up NBC's late-night stable, so find out if Jack Donaghy Alec Baldwin is next in line for late-night in

NBC may have been busy today with some other big late-night news, but that will all fall by the wayside when 'Identity Thief' and 'Bridesmaids' star Melissa McCarthy returns to the 'SNL' stage for a second time, accompanied by musical guest Phoenix.
