All of us over here at CTB couldn’t be more excited about the incredible things we have coming up this month – fantastic new shows in the works, some of our old favorites returning, and a bunch of stuff already that’s already cooking. And it all just keeps getting better!The numbers are in and it’s official: “Jimmy Kimmel Live” had a great premiere week. Even Entertainment Weekly agrees that Jimmy Kimmel deserves some respect. Lots of great guests have been stopping by the studio for interviews, including Shia LaBeouf, Kobe Bryant, Ricky Gervais, Russell Brand, and Danny DeVito. Also, Lauren Conrad from “The Hills” got a taste of what it would be like to have Jimmy as a best friend. And congratulations on the Emmy win for Outstanding Original Music And Lyrics for the “I’m F***ing Matt Damon” video!
Paltalk continues to wow with unbelievable guests. Recently, up and coming band One Block Radius stopped by, and rapper/actor Chris “Ludacris” Bridges came by to talk to Paltalkers about Guy Ritchie’s new movie, RocknRolla. Also, Paltalk's Music Scene had a great chat with Hootie and the Blowfish lead singer and country music favorite, Darius Rucker.
Having just launched a new season, VH1’s “Best Week Ever” continues to be a crowd pleaser. Zachary Levi and Josh Gomez stopped by the LA studios for a little fun to promote "Chuck", and Jennifer Coolidge had a great time going on a “date” with BWE resident sweet talker and member of MTV's "Human Giant," Rob Huebel. And stay tuned for a revamped Best Week Ever, as contributing comic Paul F. Thompkins, takes over full hosting duties in the new “Best Week Ever with Paul F. Thompkins,” premiering on Friday, October 24th at 11pm.
