Cheers & Jeers: Up All Night Live?

Up All Night, Will Forte Cheers to Up All Night for proving that more SNL vets are ready for primetime. Want more Cheers & Jeers? Subscribe to TV Guide Magazine. Much like 30 Rock has provided a sitcom home for Tina Fey and Tracy Morgan - not to mention record-breaking host Alec Baldwin - Lorne Michaels' latest NBC gem is putting Maya Rudolph in the spotlight as hilariously self-involved daytime talk-show host Ava. (Any resemblance to Oprah Winfrey is purely intentional.) This week's uproarious episode brought in two more SNL alums: Will Forte as the cool daddy-o who introduced Will Arnett's Chris to the concept of dressing sexy for your wife (love the Bjorn Borg underwear!) and Lonely Islander Jorma Taccone as B-Ro, Ava's b-boy ex-boyfriend. Don't be surprised if their duet video goes viral. Now if Up All Night would just write a guest role for Jay Pharoah - Lord knows SNL isn't keeping him busy. What did you think of Up All Night?

'Game Of Thrones' At The Emmys: Producers Tease Season Two

"Game of Thrones" star Peter Dinklage, just like a true Lannister, walked away from the 2011 Emmy Awards with a big victory under his belt in the Best Supporting Actor category. It was the only major win for the HBO series at this year's show, but those of you who've read the books already know that we haven't seen anything yet in other words, if you enjoyed the first season, the next season of "Thrones" is sure to deliver countless sleepless nights and an equal number of future Emmys. "Thrones" is currently shooting its second season, taking its cues from the second novel in author George R.R. Martin's series, "A Clash of Kings." As the title implies, the next time viewers are invited to breathe in the wintery winds of Westeros, there will be many kings, many clashes, and many, many shocks and surprises. "Everybody is in danger," co-showrunner David Benioff told MTV News on the red carpet of the Emmys last night (September 18). "It's one of the things we loved about the books, and it's true of the series as well: any of the characters, no matter how important, can die in any episode. And it's not a very special episode of 'Game of Thrones,' it's just that that's how life is in this world." Viewers got their first taste of that stunning death-is-life philosophy in the second to last episode of "Thrones'" first season no spoilers here, you either know what I'm talking about or you don't and the surprises won't end there, certainly not when there's war in the mix. "This season is kind of the drive to war for all of these different warring factions that have been building up," said Benioff's co-showrunner, D.B. Weiss. "They start to move against each other and come to blows with each other." "A Song of Ice and Fire" purists can take heart in the knowledge that Benioff and Weiss have no intentions of straying too far away from Martin's source material, though they maintain that they'll deviate from the story's path if necessary. "We can do what we want, there's no contract saying we have to be faithful to the books," said Benioff. "We happen to love the books, the characters in our show are quite faithful to the characters [in the books], and George R.R. Martin is a wonderful plotter so we don't want to screw anything up if we don't have to. That said, we're going to have to deviate from time to time." Is that good news for fans of Jason Momoa? His character, the impossibly badass Khal Drogo, died quite unexpectedly in the first season, but Momoa himself has insisted that he'll make a "Thrones" comeback. "Jason's got a big mouth, but we'll see. We'll see what happens," Benioff offered. Tell us what you think in the comments section and on Twitter!
