by TV Guide News

This week, a stadium crowd in London engaged in an impromptu singalong to Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" while waiting for Green Day to take the stage, and NBC News anchor Brian Williams rapped Warren G's "Regulate" (sort of). NBA stars read mean tweets about themselves on Jimmy Kimmel Live, and PBS Digital Studios put together a compilation of late children's author Maurice Sendak talking about childhood. Oh, and the Tony Awards happened too. Check out those clips and more in our weekly roundup of the best online videos:

Stephen Colbert's alter egomaniac on The Colbert Report may be a hawk, but the real Colbert is a peace-loving guy, at least when it comes to the late-night battlefield. We caught up with the Comedy Central cutup — in a rare interview out of character — at the opening-night gala for the Montclair Film Festival in his adopted home state of New Jersey (his wife Evelyn is one of the fest's organizers).

12. Worst Dating Rule: Ryan Lochte may not want to do The Bachelor, but he's still looking for love on What Would Ryan Lochte Do? the only way he knows how. Seriously, he only knows one way: take a girl out for a little raw fish, because he's "never met a girl that didn't like sushi." (Until he meets Megan, who has never eaten sushi or even heard of wontons.) When his older sisters learn this, they reprimand him for taking all his dates to the same place. "It might be the same place. It might be the same table," he says. "But it's a...read more

Life Behind Larry

$1.99 | iTunes Aired: 7/7/1993

As the executive producer for a new late night show set to follow his own, Larry meets with network's executives to discuss their suggestions for the new host. However, despite asking Larry to show some restraint during the meeting, Arthur loses control and expresses his extreme disapproval of their choices. But, when Larry offers comedian Bobcat Goldthwait as his pick for the new show, Melanie and Dennis express reservations about obtaining approval from the affiliates. So, as word leaks out that comic Bob Saget has been chosen, Larry is deluged with phone calls from others interested in the job as he reassures the angry Bobcat, and prepares to make his pitch to the affiliates. Upon discovering that someone has sabotaged the latest edition of his fan newsletter with a lewd remark, Hank insists that the guilty party be punished. Turning first to the show's writers, Hank accuses Phil, who denies having anything to do with the prank, before descending upon Jerry and causing an embarrassing incident in front of the writer's mother. Meanwhile, after fending off comedian Steven Wright, who is also lobbying for the new job, Larry is warned that the affiliates are worried about Goldthwait. Told that David Letterman has chosen talk show veteran Tom Snyder to host a new late show to follow his own, Larry gives the network executives and their affiliates a taste of Bobcat in action. But, warned by Arthur that the comic's antics will result in the immediate cancellation of the new show, Larry reconsiders and offers the job to Snyder instead. Finally, after Hank takes revenge on the cue card guy he suspects of the prank, Darlene tells Arthur that she sabotaged the newsletter as revenge for her boss' shabby treatment, while Larry discovers that Letterman's choice of Snyder was just another costly rumor for the new show. Also available on Amazon Prime and Amazon Instant Video

A.J. Clemente: ESPN, Call Me!

Apr 24, 2013 09:45 PM ET
by Nicholas White

(Accidental) potty-mouth fired news anchor A.J. Clemente is setting his sights on ESPN, he tells David Letterman on Wednesday's Late Show.

"If ESPN comes knocking ..." Clemente said with a sly smile and a shaky foot when Letterman asked if he would consider returning to his old broadcasting job in North Dakota.

Our best moments of the week:

12. Best Dynasty Homage: There's been a lot of death and violence on The Following, but until this week, the show had been seriously lacking one key dramatic television component: a catfight. Fortunately, we can check off that box after Claire confronts Emma, the Follower who posed as her nanny and kidnapped her son. Claire slams her against the wall in a chokehold and repeatedly insists, "I'm going to kill you." Just the kind of woman who might marry a serial killer, ay? We finally... read more
