Exclusive: Lifetime Gives More Holiday Cheer to The Hoff's Christmas Consultant

It had all the makings of a holiday camp classic. Lifetime's seasonal TV movie The Christmas Consultant stars David Hasselhoff as a green bow tie-wearing, bespectacled holiday hero who helps an overworked and overstressed family get through December. But after bad reviews and a low-rated Nov. 10 premiere (just 1.5 million viewers), Lifetime quietly began scrubbing additional airings of the TV movie. Pre-emptions included a big Sunday primetime screening on Dec. 2. As a result, The Christmas Consultant wasn't set to air again until Dec. 25 at 6/5c — Christmas night, when presumably fewer viewers are watching TV or too juiced up on nog to appreciate it. Then a funny thing happened:

Exclusive Community Roundtable: Head of the Class

Interviewing the entire cast of Community together is a fool's errand, but a fortunate fool's. Ken Jeong, who plays professor-turned-student Señor Chang, wears only a navy bathrobe. "You've been off camera for an hour and you can't even put a shirt on," jokingly scolds Gillian Jacobs (the often brittle Britta). Jeong deadpans, "There goes the buzzkill — it's all about her."

Every day, 1.2 million viewers are waking up with Fox News' Fox & Friends, an audience that towers over other cable-news morning shows.

Watercooler: You Must Watch Tosh.0

Funnyman Daniel Tosh has been getting all sorts of sassy on the second season of his Soup-like Comedy Central series, Tosh.0. But unlike Joel McHale's clipfest, which primarily mines the worlds of talk shows and reality TV for the funny, Tosh trolls the web and headlines for bizarro bits and works them over like they owe him money...

America Ferrera Wants to Strangle Blake Lively?

During an interview to promote their new film The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, the conversation with stars America Ferrera and Blake Lively took an uncomfortable turn as the topic moved to one of the most buzzed shows out there  Blakes own Gossip Girl. But what is priceless about this clip is not Blake going on and on about the show while America sits in awkward silence, it's the face the Ugly Betty star makes in the final seconds. Not very Sisterhood-y if you ask us.

The Price Is Wrong

Here's a good laugh to start your Monday out on the right foot. In this clip from The Soup, no matter how hard she tried, this Price Is Right contestant couldn't grasp the whole concept of smart bidding (come on, everyone knows the "bid a dollar higher than the last person" trick!). But the worst part was watching every time she used her "strategic tactics"  she would be halfway up the stage before realizing she didn't win!
