Ron Livingston, Nightmares & Dreamscapes: From the Stories of Stephen King
Some actors possess an Everyman quality that gives them the versatility to take on any role. Ron Livingston is that type of guy. After gaining notoriety as a member of Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn's crew of Swingers, he went on to play a conflicted World War II captain in HBO's Band of Brothers. This fall the Iowa native gets his first opportunity to play a series lead on Fox's hostage-negotiator action-drama

My Name Is EarlEarl was behaving quite like a religious convert when applying the karma philosophy to his "burger dummy" job. He even kinda tried to convert Xena, so she wouldn't feel bad about their abusive boss, played with mischievous glee by Jon Favreau. This fervor, combined with the fact that fellow Scientologist Beck's "Devil's Haircut" was playing in the background at one point, made me think there's something to the theory that this show is really a lesson from Hollywood's favorite dogma. Oh, well. That didn't make it any less funny when before discovering he was "karma's fist," Earl had to endure a mustache mask and a foam burger outfit. And again, Randy provided some gems: Trying to make Darnell's turtle yawn and making th

My Name Is Earl's Jason Lee
Tonight, Earl Hickey claims that which is rightly his: a berth on NBC's Must-See TV slate, as the freshman hit My Name Is Earl relocates from Tuesday to Thursday at 9 pm/ET, where it will be followed by the equally worthy tagalong The Office. The shake-up also shuffles Will & Grace to the 8 o'clock slot, begging the question — and TVGuide.com wasn't afraid to ask it — of whether Earl will be adding "aided and abetted the bumping of Joey from NBC's lineup" to his famous list of wrongdoings.
Earl creator Greg Garcia a

Kristi Caudell
Things were far from peachy for Georgia's Kristi Caudell, who last week was fired from The Apprentice for, well, fabricating some freaky-big kids for a parade float promoting Sony's upcoming Zathura movie. Should project manager Jennifer M. have gotten the hook for, among other things, repeatedly mauling the Zathura name right in front of director Jon Favreau? TVGuide.com spoke to Kristi about that, about Toral's taunts and more.
TVGuide.com: What happened to the little "blondes and Marshawn have more fun" clique you had going on there? It's like, all of the sudden everybody turned on you.Kristi Caudell: [Laughs] Actually, they all didn't. You didn't get to see Alla

In a world… where reality-show contestants can't pronounce the word… "Zathura"… Jon Favreau's new sci-fi family flick may as well be named Juman-gigli, for all the success our teams are having with those three little syllables. But while the men recover from their early title snafu using a healthy dose of overkill (the secret to any good marketing campaign — even one involving parade floats), the women-plus-Randall just sort of roll around in the awfulness of it all for a good 36 hours. Here's my impression of project manager Jennifer M's thought process right before her bungled presentation: "Hmm, I clearly can't say the word correctly, so I'm just gonna mention it like half a dozen more times and see if that helps." Somehow, loud-mouthed Kristi takes the fall, while Jen survives "by the skin of her teeth" according to not-George, or Bill Rancic as I hear he prefers to be called. Guess what, Bill? Until you are George

Jon Favreau has a hard time getting women to have dinner with him. No, his marriage isn't in trouble. The Elf director merely wants more famous female diners on his IFC chatfest, Dinner for Five (Fridays at 10 pm/ET). While there's seemingly a plethora of men ready to enjoy a free meal and some casual banter, it's harder to persuade Hollywood's lady luminaries to join in the fun.
"We have tried doing an all-women show," Favreau tells TV Guide Online, "but it is incredibly hard to find people and book them. Also, it is a lot easier for a guy to eat on camera and not be afraid of looking like a pig."
No matter who the guests are, their affable host does his best to show everyone a good time. "To me, it is about the relationships with these people," the 37-year-old Favreau says of the series. "I try to make them feel comfortable, and if they say anything they wish they didn't, I let them cut it out. It is all about trust. I find that if you let p
