TV Guide: What's coming up for "burned" spy Michael Westen? Any big cliff-hangers?Jeffrey Donovan: My line is always "tune in and find out." TV Guide: You can't reveal anything about what's coming up?Donovan: I like to leave that to other people. I'm never sure what I'm supposed to keep silent and what I can give away. TV Guide: OK. While shooting Season 1, you got injured many times doing your own stunts. Any Season 2 injuries?Donovan: Surprisingly, none. Here's the funny thing: I've been hurt zero times on set and a few times at home. I walked off a boat and f

SNL's Amy Poehler Is Singing a Different 'Toon

In addition to her gig on SNL, Amy Poehler serves up laughs in the new cartoon The Mighty B! (premieres April 26 at 10:30 am/ET, Nickelodeon) and in the not-so G-rated Baby Mama. We caught up with the funnywoman to talk about her new projects, how much fun she has mimicking Hillary and what it was like reteaming with 30 Rock's Tina Fey. TV Guide: In your new animated series, The Mighty B!, you voice Bessie Higgenbottom, a hyper Brownie who dreams of becoming a superhero. Were you that hyper as a kid? Amy Poehler: She's like Animal meets Gilda Radner meets Daffy Duck meets Jimmy Stewart: energetically optimistic. And I was not too far off from that. I was a "Look at me!" kind of kid. I had really patient parents who were used to me jumping around. And I was pretty bossy, too. I organized a lot of dance contests in my neighborhood, of which I was always the judge.

TV Guide: So let's get this out of the way first: 2007 was rough for you. What was your lowest point?|Tracy Morgan: When me and my wife separated. Twenty-one years is a pretty long walk in the park with someone. So for us to come to this conclusion, it was like a death in the family. TV Guide: Are you getting a divorce? Morgan: Yeah, I'm going through it, man. It's very hard. But we're good friends. We stay in contact every day. She's still my business partner.

Is The Daily Show's Rob Corddry the Next Steve Carell?

Glen Abbott, the title character of Fox's new sitcom The Winner (premiering Sunday at 8:30 pm/ET), is a 32-year-old schlub living with his parents. He can't cook for himself. He's never had sex. He's obsessed with Steven Weber's Wings. In short, this winner's a big loser. Rob Corddry plays this man-child, and it's not an insult to say that he makes as convincing a TV loser as anyone in recent memory. Narrated from the present by a successful Glen, The Winner is set in 1994, the year when he decides to turn his life around. In order to impress Alison (Erinn Hayes), a divorced doctor who's the only person he's ever kissed, Glen befriends her 14-year-old son, Josh (

Wonder Woman Returns!

In the 1970s, Lynda Carter was fighting for your rights in her satin tights, at least on Wonder Woman, the show that made her famous. The 52-year-old former Miss USA is content with her own version of Paradise Island these days — raising her two kids in Washington, D.C. — but she does take occasional acting work, including a guest spot on Hope & Faith last fall. With the DVD of Wonder Woman's first season now in stores, we fired some bullet-like questions Carter's way — and she deflected them even without her magic bracelets. TV Guide Online: Uh, I'm one of those guys who drooled over you when I was a kid.Lynda Carter: I think that's very cool. You know, I like Wonder Woman, too. I thought she was the bomb, as my daughter would say. TVGO: Wonder Woman was kind of the full package, huh?Carter: What I was hoping for was that men would see that women could be a lot of things: She was beautiful, smart and
