O’Reilly And Rivera Turn The Volume Up To Eleven In Epic Shouting Match

Billoreilly Bill O’Reilly and Geraldo Rivera may just be a match made in heaven. Both men are loud, attention-starved bullies. Not surprisingly, the two turned a debate on illegal immigration into a full-fledged shouting match on The O’Reilly Factor last Thursday. YouTubers wasted no time getting the encounter up on the web and the video quickly became viral.

Amazing Race: All-Stars -- Winners Become Losers

Uchenna_and_joyce The Amazing Race: All-Stars
Title: “The Way You Look, Yeah”
First Aired: 4/8/07

This week, Amazing Race: All-Stars proved that being a cute blonde pays, and missing your flight does not. Not exactly earth-shattering revelations, I know.

Beauty queens Kandice and Dustin flashed enough smiles to the locals to score a first place finish, but former Amazing Race winners Uchenna and Joyce reached the end of the line. Although they were a much beloved team, it’s only fair that these two former victors will not be granted a repeat. Uchenna and Joyce will be missed for their positive outlook and kindness, but let’s face it -- it’s more fun to watch the back-stabbers anyway.

Thank God You're Grier! A MeeVee Exclusive Interview with David Alan Grier

Davidalangrier_3 David Alan Grier is no stranger to television. The Detroit, Michigan native got his start in the 1980s, playing everything from an FBI agent on Alf to a desk sergeant on The Equalizer. As the years went on, Grier’s talents sharpened, and this actor/comedian began defining himself as a skilled performer. His newly earned respect in Hollywood soon landed him on such shows as SNL, In Living Color, Martin, and Life with Bonnie. David's film credits also flourished, with such hits as I’m Gonna Git You Sucka, Jumanji, Boomerang, and the recent Little Man.

Now David is back on the tube, taking on a role he explains he’s been waiting 20 years to do -- hosting the upcoming NBC comedy series, Thank God You're Here! MeeVee's resident funnyman and roving reporter Steve Czarnecki was given an exclusive opportunity to chat one-on-one with David backstage during the show’s recent taping.

Thank God You're Here: How Long Do You Plan on Staying?

Tgyh Thank God You're Here
Title: "Pilot"
Premieres: Monday, April 9, on NBC

The easiest way to describe NBC’s new improv skit show, Thank God You’re Here, is to say that it’s very much like Whose Line Is It Anyway? -- only without the elements that most encouraged creativity and spontaneity on that program. You can imagine the boardroom full of executives that determined that what was lacking from Whose Line were costumes, sets, and scripts. It would perhaps be too unkind to say that the most impressive thing about Thank God You’re Here is that it managed to jump three sharks in its first episode. It might be unkind, but it wouldn’t be far from the truth.
