Two DGA Nominations for Mad Men

On January 9, the Directors Guild of America announced their nominations for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Television, Documentaries and Commercials. Mad Men received two nods with Alan Taylor nabbing his second in a row. Taylor was nominated for the episode, "The Mountain King"; he picked up a DGA award last year for the pilot episode, "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes." Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner was nominated for the Season 2 finale "Meditations in an Emergency." It's his first DGA nomination.

The 61st Annual DGA Awards will take place Saturday, January 31. For a full list of nominees, click here.

Comedy Central announces the Roast of...Larry the
Cable Guy!

Filed under: Other Comedy Shows, Programming, Music and Variety, Celebrities, Reality-Free

Comedy Central's roasts were one of the few things the network used to do right post-South Park. They didn't go for the big names. They went for the funniest names, the people who lended themselves to the kind of mean-spirited mockery that let comics be honest but also let the audience know they were just having fun.

This time around, it's hard to see how any self-respecting comic that makes fun of Larry the Cable Guy will not let the audience know they are just joking.

Comedy Central announced that the hunting cap-wearing, sleeveless shirt-wearing, catchphrase-drilling stand-up comic will be the next "celebrity" to take the hot seat in their annual roast.

TWEAKING TWAIN

Hugh is one of my long-time correspondents in the Toobworld Patrol, and he wrote in almost immediately about Mark Twain's induction into the TV Crossover Hall of Fame to point out one omission:

'TEEN ANGEL'
"Honest Abe and Popular Steve"
gs: Dee Snider [ Sammy Noah ], Michelle Durham [ Amy ], Susan Giosa [ Cleopatra ], Gary Bullock [ Abraham Lincoln ], Stuart Weiss [ Albert Einstein ], Jordan Bowers [ Mark Twain ], Christian Malmin [ Rudolph Valentino ]

rc: Mr. Nitzke, Twin #1, Twin #2

Marty's doing such a good job drafting historical figures to help Steve improve his life that he's reassigned to Sammy Noah, a hell-raising rock star.
