March 12th 2010 at 12:32pm by TaraAriano

People probably have lots of reasons not to visit Florida. And when I say "people," I mean "people other than me," because hello, Disney World. But on last night's episode of "The Colbert Report," Stephen addressed the latest reason to avoid the state: monkey on the lam! See it above; the rest of last night's late-night highlights are after the jump.

See it above, and enjoy the rest of last night's late-night highlights after the jump.

Late Night with Jimmy Fallon
Late Night Last Night: "Lazy Sunday" Live, Hanks Meets Colbert, and Jake Byrd Interviews 100 Stars
March 9th 2010 at 11:21am by TaraAriano

These days, Chris Parnell should be best known for voicing Cyril on "Archer." (He probably is best known for voicing the Helping Hand in the Hamburger Helper ads). But just a few short years ago, he made viral-video history opposite Andy Samberg in the deathless "SNL" Digital Short "Lazy Sunday" -- and last night on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon," he revisited past glory by performing the song live. Watch it above, and hit "continue reading" for the rest of last night's late-night highlights.

Scott comes to "P&R" from "Party Down," while Lowe departs the drama "Brothers and Sisters." More after the jump.

The Tonight Show with Jay Leno
Brett Favre, the Jay Leno of Quarterbacks, Talks to Jay Leno, the Brett Favre of "Tonight Show" Hosts
March 5th 2010 at 2:10pm by WillEdmondson

"The Tonight Show" had an interview last night with a guy who doesn't know how to let go of the career he loves. You see, this is a guy who's walked away from his passion, only to return to it a few months later. People say he's washed up, but he defies the odds and keeps trotting out to go to work whenever he's needed by his employers. Some people love the guy, others loathe him, but one thing's for sure: Matthew McConaughey was really pumped to be sitting next to Brett Favre during the above interview.

Oh, you thought I was talking about Jay Leno?

After the jump, we take note of which sitcom-baby clichés were present in last night's episodes -- and a few the producers of "The Office" elected not to include.
