» Conan O’Brien just can’t catch a break. After edging out both Jay Leno and David Letterman for an Emmy nomination in the “Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Series” category for his stint at The Tonight Show, it looks like the Emmy producers have decided not to broadcast the awarding of that category, according to a tweet by Team Coco writer Deon Cole. While Cole’s tweet made it clear that NBC was not to blame, it’s obvious that someone is concerned with saving NBC from the potential embarrassment of having O’Brien win during NBC’s Emmy Broadcast. [Hollywood.com]

» Comedians James Adomian, Laurie Kilmartin and Maronzio Vance were all booted from Last Comic Standing. It’s now officially at “World Cup after all the teams I remotely care about were eliminated” level of disinterest to me (which, given my distain for soccer, was already pretty low). Yes, I’m sure the rest of the teams are fine soccer players, but my heart is no longer vested in it. Sorry, remaining contestants!
