It's not often that television beats the Internet to breaking a story. But Late Show With David Letterman had a distinct edge -- Drew Carey was waiting in the wings for his interview when he got the call confirming his new gig as host of The Price is Right.

Drew Carey has always seemed a little... how best to put this... dickish? So it's hard to tell what kind of change this will mean for that most genial of game shows. But perhaps a nice steady daytime gig will be just what he needs to settle down -- and keep his Bergdorf's-bound girlfriend happy.

Upstart Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul has been getting a lot of buzz lately -- buzz mostly divided into two camps: "hey, this guy seems interesting," and "wait, this guy's a Republican?" For those who've been milling about confusedly in the who-or-what-the-hell-is-Ron-Paul category, things got a little clearer last night thanks to TV's leading champion of truthiness, Stephen Colbert.

After watching this clip, you still may not have decided whether Paul's a genius or a nutcase, but you might, at least, have a better idea of what he's for and against. (Against: taxes, the Patriot Act, and the Department of Education. For: liberty, limited government, and allowing Unicef to continue ... for now.)

Rumors have abounded for months now, but this morning made it official: O'Donnell's contract for appearing on The View will not be renewed for next season (the issue, apparently, being how many years Rosie would commit to spewing conspiracy theories). Barbara Walters's claim that they're broken up over Rosie leaving is a bit hard to buy -- everyone on that set looks a little bit relieved at the news, dreaming perhaps of a hopeful future where they're able to get a word in edgewise. In all honesty, the only people truly sad that this year-long car wreck is shuddering to an end are the bloggers who've been mocking Rosie since September. To paraphrase the Bible: Defamer wept.

I'm pretty sure this recurring bit on the Letterman Show is executed with the utmost safety, but...

Can you imagine walking to the corner deli, minding your business, only to see something plummet ten stories to the ground? Did I just really see that 300-pound safe fall of a building and onto a car? Or was I too busy listening to my iPod and dodging pedestrian traffic to care?

Well known for his pointless and absurd segments, Letterman has been destroying things in the name of comedy for a while now. His last-laugh humor has lead to the destruction not only safes but a variety of household items, by methods including explosives, steamrollers, and - most frequently - throwing them off the roof of the Ed Sullivan Theater.

What’s next Dave? I really just can’t wait. I’d love to see you throw a snowman off the roof into a pile of presents or maybe a tuba into a vat of Jell-O.

Good thing Doogie came out of the closet, because this musical outburst on The Megan Mully Show may have raised a few eyebrows otherwise.

Who knew that my favorite drunk from Will and Grace had her own daytime Talk Show? Or that it was still on the air? The show claims to combine the classic talk and variety shows and feature a mix of celebrities, real people, music and comedy. And this clip that includes CBS's How I Met You Mother’s cast proves all of the above.

Earlier this week, Neil Patrick Harris and Jason Segel broke out in operatic song, performing "Confrontation" from Les Miserables. With very little encouragement needed to convince these seasoned actors to put on a show, I love how seriously the duo belts out their favorite show tune. A big fan of Segal on Freaks and Geeks, I couldn’t stop laughing at his serious, quasi-professional performance.
