Top Moments: Homeland's Explosive Finale, Mindy Kaling and Bill Clinton... Reunited At Last

Our top moments of the week:

10. Best Silent Killer: When it came time for the jury to have at the final three Survivor: South Pacific contestants, the most vicious commentary of all comes from an unexpected source —Whitney — the sweet Southern belle. "Albert, you're sleazy," she says. "Coach, you used Christianity to manipulate your whole tribe. And Sophie? You're the most condescending person I've ever met." Are you sure about that, Whitney? Because that condescending person managed to snare enough votes to win.

Will Ferrell Punches In on The Office: Our Six Favorite Moments

It may be the beginning of the end for Steve Carell and his Office alter-ego, Michael Scott, but the debut of Will Ferrell Thursday night gave Office fans a lot to laugh about. Here are six of our favorite moments from Thursday's episode:

"Life Happened":  Before Michael Scott even realizes that he is talking to his replacement (it takes him awhile), Michael and Deangelo bond over things that only they had in common. Case in point: They both have a fear of skiing because of the death of "Sonny Bobo" and each has an overzealous affection for the Olympics. (Deangelo tried to start an animal Olympics, but "life happened.")

Will Ferrell on permanently joining The Office: "We're talking about it"

Keck's Exclusives: RIP Michael Scott?

Steve Carell just completed work on NBC's The Office; his last episode will air in late April or early May. Costar Kate Flannery (Meredith) calls his final shows "the funniest and saddest. I'm laughing or crying." The one bright spot: Four-episode guest star Will Ferrell "is the shiny object we have to distract us."

  • Saturday Night Live "I love the new cast members. Vanessa Bayer is so funny, Nasim Pedrad and Abby Elliott are hilarious, in addition to all the old people that are great. I've been really into that show, this season especially. "
  • Breaking Bad "The writing is amazing on that show. The cast wins so many Emmys, but they haven't won for the script or the series. Vince Gilligan is my favorite writer in Hollywood, maybe besides Aaron Sorkin. "
  • Community "Awesome. Amazing writing. Their Christmas episode - I told Dan Harmon that they just made TV magical. It's a live action show that did this crazy animation. That's the kind of thing that kids will grow up and want to watch again, just like I want to watch Charlie Brown Christmas. They made a classic, magical episode. "
  • Modern Family "It's so funny. This is the era of the comedy in quotation marks, where a show is only a comedy because it's not dramatic, not because it's funny. Modern Family has the jokes, comic actors, set pieces - they seem to work really hard at making me funny and I really appreciate that. "
  • "I'm going to be really excited about that. I love NBA, I'm really excited for the Lakers and the Celtics to be rematched. I have a good feeling about it. "
