“Dear Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland),

As you prepare to embark on your eighth action-packed day, TVGuide.com thought it wise — after looking into your future (i.e. the first four episodes of 24’s New Season) — to pass on a little advice.

1. Remember to cherish your friends: Chloe O’Brian (Mary Lynn Rajskub) has put her job — and sometimes her life — on the line for you. Though you’d love to hightail it back to Los Angeles, there are more pressing matters in New York.
null
2. Remember that New York is a world capital: with world issues. These 24 hours will be unlike anything you’ve seen before. The threat is on a much bigger level, involving a nuclear superpower in one of the most volatile places in the world.

3. Remember that you’re an oldie: Sorry, Jack, but this is a new CTU and not everyone knows you like we do. You may not be able to get away with the same tomfoolery you used to. Tread lightly.

4. Remember that no one can be trusted: Keep that in mind while interacting with the new kids. Brian Hastings (Mykelti Williamson), the head honcho at the New York CTU base, may not be on your side. And he’s not always the brightest crayon in the box, so watch your back. ” (via  tvguide.com) by Natalie Abrams

The 9 Things You Need to Know About Leno’s New Show

Posted by: PointsWizard 

Read More in: Jay Leno, Leno, NBC, TV, TV shows

“You’ve heard the hype about The Jay Leno Show: It could change the idea of prime-time forever, it could destroy audiences’ appetites for David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel or Conan O’Brien an hour-and-a-half later, or it could be the funniest show NBC has launched in years…null

You can understand Leno wanting to manage expectations. “NBC tried scripted programming at 10 o’clock: Lipstick Jungle, Kidnapped, My Own Worst Enemy, hugely expensive shows,” he says. “I thought they were OK, but for some reason, they didn’t catch on. So now you try something different.”…

TVGuide.com spoke to Leno about his “something different” — from the sounds of it, a hybrid of his former Tonight Show, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, the Grammys and, er, NASCAR — to see what audiences have in store when the show premieres on Monday (weeknights at 10/9c, NBC). Read on for a primer:…

1. How will the new show be similar to Leno’s Tonight Show?
Leno has retained some familiar elements. Headlines will recur every Monday, and he’ll continue to hit the streets to film new Jaywalking segments. The new theme song was composed by Leno’s Tonight Show bandleader Kevin Eubanks, who will accompany Leno over at the new digs as well.

2. How will it be different?
With his new, earlier timeslot, tried-and-true comedy bits (like Headlines and Jaywalking) will appear at the end of the show, to give local news broadcasts a strong lead-in, instead of the beginning, where they were used on The Tonight Show to keep people sticking around for the interviews and musical performances.

3. Who else is joining Leno’s team?
Leno’s one-hour show puts comedy front and center. As such, he’ll have a rotating team of correspondents — including D.L. Hughley, Rachael Harris (The Hangover), Duane Perkins, Mikey Day, Liz Feldman, Dan Finnerty and the Dan Band and NBC news anchor Brian Williams — who will appear on the show to introduce their prerecorded segments. “It’ll look like America,” Leno says of the diverse group. Upcoming topics include Great White Moments in Black History by Perkins, teaching the elderly to Twitter by Feldman, money-saving tips for the recession by Harris and a regular feature about politics by Hughley.

4. Will there be celebrity guests?
There will be, but no desk, just two chairs on a redesigned stage. He hopes the celebs’ visits will be more interactive and not just the typical chit-chat. He’d like to incorporate them into comedy bits where possible and to get them to race miniature electric cars around his studio.

5. What’s this about racecars?
Leno has teamed up with Ford to construct an indoor track for electric cars on which he’ll face off against his celebrity guests. “We’ll have in-car cameras as well, so you can hear the celebrity swearing as they hit the wall and stuff; it’ll be fun,” he says with a chuckle. Drew Barrymore will be the first guest to christen the track on the Sept. 18 show.” (via  tvguide.com) by Mickey O’Connor

Walk-On Role on CBS TV Show ‘NCIS’ Up For Grabs

Posted by: PointsWizard 

Read More in: CBS, NCIS, TV, Walk-on role, raffle, win

“If you’re an NCIS fan who’s dreaming of appearing in the show one day, then this may be your chance to do just that.  A non-profit organization based in Oregon is giving away a walk-on role in a future episode of the CBS crime series, in order to raise funds for Native American businesses.

The raffle was the brainchild of ONABEN—A Native American Business Network, a group which was founded in 1991 by four Oregon tribes who joined together to promote privately-owned Native American businesses.  The group will sell 1,999 tickets—one for $5 or five for $20—for the raffle, which will be on August 20 in Portland, Oregon.

The winner will get a chance to appear alongside NCIS stars Mark Harmon, Michael Weatherly and Sean Murray, among others.  Aside from that, the winner, along with a guest, will receive a free vacation, complete with free airfare, hotel accommodations, transportation and meals.  The winner will also have a chance to have lunch with the NCIS crew, and receive special items from the show, including an autographed script.” (via buddytv.com) by -Henrik Batallones
