Golden Globe Nominations Announced! Our Official Picks!

Today the nominations for the 70th Golden Globe Awards were announced!  As you might expect, we care most about the TV comedy categories, so here are the nominations for each of those categories, and our picks for who we think should win!

Best Television Series - Musical or Comedy
  • The Big Bang Theory
  • Episodes
  • Girls
  • Modern Family
  • Smash
Sadly, many of our favorites like 30 Rock, The Office, Parks & Recreation, Community,  and Louie weren't nominated this year.  Out of the 5 that were, the only one we actually watch is Modern Family, so we'll have to vote for that one.  Modern Family is a truly hilarious show with an amazing ensemble made up of both adults and kids.  Modern Family won last year, so hopefully it wins again!  Here's a great clip from a recent episode with guest star Matthew Broderick, who gets mixed signals from Phil:



Best Actor in a Television Series - Musical or Comedy
  • Alec Baldwin - 30 Rock
  • Don Cheadle - House of Lies
  • Louis C.K. - Louie
  • Matt LeBlanc - Episodes
  • Jim Parsons - The Big Bang Theory
As much as we love Alec Baldwin on 30 Rock, we're rooting for Louis C.K. Alec Baldwin has already won the award 3 times now (Matt LeBlanc and Jim Parsons have also each won) so it would really be nice to see Louis C.K. get some recognition.  While I'll readily admit that when it comes to acting, Louis doesn't have much of a range, he is really great at playing the fictionalized version of himself that he wrote for himself on Louie, as evidenced in this clip:

Jimmy Fallon on iCarly!

iCarly is a popular show on the children's network of Nickelodeon.  While we're certainly not regular viewers, we have seen some episodes of the show, and it is actually pretty funny as far as children's shows go.  In fact, the show has many adult fans, including two of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon's writers Mike DiCenzo (Mets Bucket Hat Guy) and John Haskell (Walter Kump).  Miranda Cosgrove (who stars as the titular character Carly) has often appeared on Late Night as a guest, and one time she even faced off with the two Late Night writers for some iCarly trivia:



Anyway, tomorrow night (Saturday 10/6) iCarly will kick off its final season with a special 1 hour episode featuring Jimmy Fallon as a special guest star.  Not only that, the iCarly gang will actually be appearing on Late Night within the episode, which will also feature Higgins, The Roots, and Jimmy's rival/animal trainer Jeff Musial!  And if that wasn't enough, rumor has it that Jimmy's old SNL buddies Tina Fey and Rachel Dratch will be appearing as well! Don't miss Jimmy Fallon on iCarly tomorrow night (Saturday 10/6) at 8:00 pm on Nickelodeon! Here's a trailer:



Also don't miss Jerry Trainor (Spencer on iCarly) as Jimmy's guest on Late Night tonight!

Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis

Here at We Like TV, we're big fans of talk shows.  We've often blogged about talk shows like Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and The Colbert Report, but one of our favorite talk shows actually isn't even on TV.  That was, until tonight.  The show is Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis, an online talk show on FunnyOrDie where the Hangover star holds extremely awkward and often insulting interviews with his guests while sitting between two large ferns.  While the show has always been an online show, tonight Between Two Ferns will be making its television debut at 8:30 on Comedy Central, immediately preceding the Comedy Awards at 9:00 (we've previously posted about the Comedy Awards, which honors the funniest TV shows, movies, and stand-up comics).  On tonight's special televised Between Two Ferns, Zach will be interviewing Tina Fey, Jon Stewart, and Sir Richard Branson!  Should be amazing!  So be sure to tune in to Comedy Central tonight at 8:30 for the special Between Two Ferns, and then stay tuned for the Comedy Awards at 9!

In the meantime, here's just a few our favorite episodes of Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis.  You can check out all the other episodes here!
