Tonight we'll be glued to Conan's last time hosting The Tonight Show, The Soup, and the rest of the Late Night shows. What are you watching tonight? Let us know in the comments.

Shepard Smith, America's best newsman, had one of the finest broadcasts of storied career today on Studio B. There was a puppy, stuck in the LA river. It was rescued by a helicopter. Shepard Smith talked America through it.

Because Sarah and Bristol Palin are sharing their mass delusion about abstinence on Oprah, Levi couldn't let this opportunity go to waste to get in front of the camera himself. He's on The Insider tonight, and he's talkin' trash.

Burger King is opening the Whopper Bar in South Beach that will serve hamburgers and American beer 24/7. We've seen the people that hang out at Burger King and we'll pass. Call us when Sonic is serving up Jell-O shots.

Oh look who's naked: Jesus Luz, the young boyfriend of pop singer/Crimean War veteran Madonna, has been snapped in the nude. Well, we only think it's him. 'Cause there's no head.

Harrison Ford was on Regis and Kelly today with Jerry O'Conell playing the role of Regis. Everything was peachy-keen in the interview until the subject of marriage was brought up. Mr. Ford was not pleased with this topic.

In this video we see some rednecks in their natural habitat. Watch as they perform some weird mating ritual while the rest of their community looks on.

Bristol and mommy Sarah are right now on Oprah feeding America's women some bullshit line about abstinence. Oprah voices her concern that women making an annoucement about waiting for marriage are "setting themselves up." Wait until you hear Bristol's answer.

Today at Gawker.TV, everyone swoons over Justin Theroux on Parks & Rec, Stephen Colbert claims the Taliban's channeling Mad Men, 30 Rock makes veiled suggestions for NBC, The Office's clip show let-down, and Archer is brilliance in sexed-up cartoon form.
