Since he can't appear on TV, Conan O'Brien--he hosted The Tonight Show for five minutes, if you and NBC needed a reminder--is embarking on a 30-city stage tour with sidekick Andy Richter and other former members of his Late Night/Tonight Show crew. "I'm headed to your town on a half-assed comedy and music tour," O'Brien says. Just not your town.
With all of the Oscars and kickin' The Gays outta Zion news, something's been overlooked: Big Love's season finale last night! Guess what? Utah has its first (confessed) polygamist State Senator! How's that for progressive?
Oscar-nominated [Update: Oscar-winning] French short Logorama is 16 minutes and 2,500 recognizable brand logos--somehow, City Weekly's got in there, too. We're not in league with the French ... as far as you know.

Well, not until March 8--the night when hungry upstart Total Nonstop Action Wrestling moves from Thursdays to Mondays to go bulge-to-bulge with bloated corporate greedheads World Wrestling Entertainment for the first such TV face-off since the late '90s, when Ted Turner's now-dead World Championship Wrestling produced Monday Nitro.
Catch Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin trying out intentional comedy last night on The Late Show With David Letterman and The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, respectively? Yeah, me neither--not going to miss The Bad Girls Club for that.
Didya know comedian Doug Stanhope is performing in Salt Lake City tomorrow? Probably not--he's underground like that.
Is it just me, or do these hyper-multicultural spots from Deseret Media (as seen on KSL.com) resemble ads from satirical corporate conglomerate Veridian Dynamics (as seen, by very few, on ABC's late Better Off Ted)?
One week from tonight, Jay Leno returns as the host of NBC's Tonight Show and that whole Conan clusterfuck is forgotten and forgiven ... right?
Probably wisely (and probably mandated to SyFy by the NBC/Universal gods), Caprica took last Friday off to avoid going up against the opening of the Winter Olympics, but it's back tonight. Now, you just have to watch harder.
